"Miss He, please get up."
Ling Yun raised his hand and gently lifted He Yuqiong, who was kneeling on the ground, up.
He had a strange expression on his face. He didn't expect the other party to believe him so easily. If he knew it was so simple, he wouldn't have needed Wang Chongxiao to catch animals all over the world.
"Oh, it seems like my master was right. There is indeed something wrong with your grandfather's body. If that's the case, can you tell me what's going on?"
Ling Yun's luck had improved tremendously tonight. He had obtained too many treasures. He couldn't wait to rush home and deal with the treasures that he had obtained. Therefore, he didn't want to waste even a minute. He went straight to the point.
It was just saving a person. To an immortal doctor like Ling Yun, it was just an errand. Seeing that the other party had saved him six billion yuan, he would naturally help her.
Unexpectedly, the woman who had been very strong and decisive the entire night started to sob softly when Ling Yun asked. After a while, she regained her composure and slowly revealed her problem.
Through He Yuqiong's narration, Ling Yun and Mo Wudao finally understood the whole story.
It turned out that He Yuqiong came from a special economic zone in the south of Huaxia. The gambling industry there was extremely developed. In recent years, it had gradually surpassed the gambling capital of America, Las Vegas. Gamblers from all over the world gathered there.
The He Family, which He Yuqiong belonged to, was the biggest family in this newly crowned gambling city. Her grandfather had relied on gambling to make his fortune. Over the past few decades, he had worked hard to mediate between various complicated forces, allowing the family to grow stronger day by day. The family's gambling business had been flourishing for a long time, and its scope of business had radiated to the entire Nanyang.
Especially in the past two decades, other than maintaining the huge gambling business, the He Family had also invested in many countries around the world. The industries involved included finance, real estate, construction, shipping, hotels, and so on. They had completely formed a huge business empire, and the total scale of the family's assets was hundreds of billions.
However, in recent years, as Old Master He was getting on in years, he was gradually losing his strength, so he decided to choose a successor to the family business. He began to secretly inspect his own descendants, hoping to choose the most outstanding one from the younger generation to take over the family business.
Although He Yuqiong was young, she had been smart and quick-witted since she was young. She had a strong and decisive personality, and she did things swiftly and decisively. Therefore, after Old Mr. He's repeated inspections and countless battles, He Yuqiong stood out from the younger generation of the He family. She caught Old Mr. He's eye and began to be recognized.
With Old Master He's support, the He family's various businesses naturally began to lean towards He Yuqiong. Her family gradually gained control of the family's finances, and once Old Master He relented, this huge family business would truly be handed over to He Yuqiong to manage.
However, before Old Master He could actually take over, at the end of last year, Old Master He suddenly contracted a strange illness. He became delirious, acted strangely, and cursed at people at the drop of a hat. Even He Yuqiong, whom he liked the most, was no exception.
Old Master He's sudden illness, and it became more and more serious, caused the various branches and branches to go from fighting secretly to fighting openly. They were all fighting for power, and it caused chaos in the He family!
Especially He Yuqiong's branch. Because she was the successor chosen by Old Master He, the other branches worked together to fight against her family.
Although He Yuqiong was outstanding, strong, and had many tricks up her sleeve, she still hadn't truly taken over the He family's power. Therefore, she was badly battered and felt that she couldn't do anything alone.
Under these circumstances, He Yuqiong knew very well that as long as Old Master He's illness didn't get better, the He family's power struggle would intensify, and they wouldn't even be able to do business. Moreover, if Old Master He suddenly passed away one day, the He family would immediately fall apart!
In this way, it would be meaningless for her to be the appointed successor.
Therefore, this year, other than trying her best to maintain the family's business, the only thing He Yuqiong had to do was to treat Old Master He's illness!
It could be said that in the past half a year, He Yuqiong had invited the world's best hospitals and the most famous doctors. However, no matter what kind of doctors came, they all shook their heads after seeing Old Master He. They couldn't figure out the cause of the illness at all.
However, just as He Yuqiong was in complete despair, one of her uncles invited a Spirit Cultivator from Nanyang and began to treat the old man. In the end, after trying it out, there was a miraculous effect!
Old Master He's condition obviously improved. Within a period of time, he no longer acted strangely, but he was still delirious. Even when he saw He Yuqiong, it was as if he was looking at a stranger.
He Yuqiong understood very well that under these circumstances, whoever could cure Old Master He's illness would have the initiative. When the time came, Old Master He would say who was the successor, and there would be no change. She had to admit it even if she didn't want to!
Moreover, He Yuqiong had a deeper worry in her heart. Old Master He was originally fine, why did he suddenly get sick? Why couldn't she find so many doctors, and why could her uncle find someone to make Old Master He better?
Therefore, in the past month, not only was she worried about Old Master He's health and her identity as the successor, she was even more worried that her uncle was already harboring evil intentions in order to seize control of the family. He was going to make a move on Old Master He and herself!
Her own safety couldn't be guaranteed. He Yuqiong began to put down everything at hand and began to think about how to deal with the predicament. Unfortunately, she was alone and helpless.
Just as He Yuqiong was about to lose all hope, the Ye family came to the south and released the news of some important auction items. Naturally, there were purple chalcedony and clear spirit stone.
This wasn't because the Ye family heard the news, but because it was the custom of the Ye family's auction. After all, when holding an auction, the more guests the better, the more they would earn.
He Yuqiong was at home at her wits' end when she received the news that the Ye family was going to hold another auction. She immediately made an appointment with the Ye family. After asking about the auction items in detail, she couldn't help but be overjoyed. She decided on the spot that she would personally come to the capital to participate in the Ye family's auction.
However, just as she was packing up and preparing to take a private jet to the capital, her uncle brought people to look for her.
It was these three spirit cultivators.
Her uncle told her that the three spirit cultivators said that as long as they could get the purple chalcedony, they could immediately use it to completely cure Old Master He. Therefore, her uncle strongly requested her to bring these three spirit cultivators to the capital, saying that the family must protect her safety and so on.
Although it was protection, it was actually surveillance. He Yuqiong was well aware of this, but there was nothing she could do. She could only grit her teeth and agree because she was afraid that if she refused, she might not even be able to go to the capital.
Therefore, for her grandfather's illness, and for He Yuqiong's own status and safety, she made this trip to the capital.
"Immortal, this little girl knows that you are a true expert. Please save my grandfather!"
He Yuqiong was eloquent. She quickly explained the whole story and immediately knelt on the ground. "As long as you agree to save him, no matter what request you have, this little girl will do her best!"
Ten thousand gold couldn't buy a life. He Yuqiong was really forced into a corner.
"So that's how it is." After listening to He Yuqiong's story, Ling Yun smiled and once again supported He Yuqiong's body. He said, "Obviously, your grandfather wasn't sick at all. He was schemed against."
"Yes!"
He Yuqiong's eyes were red and her expression was sorrowful. She said decisively, "I've already thought of this. The biggest suspects are my uncle and the three spirit cultivators. I didn't expect my uncle to collude with outsiders to frame his own father in order to seize power in the family!"
"Sigh …"
Ling Yun sighed. If her uncle was like this, wouldn't his own uncle, Ling Zhen, be the same?
"There are nine types of dragons, each different." Ling Yun comforted her, then frowned and said, "But this way, it won't be as simple as treating your grandfather's illness. Your grandfather's illness isn't difficult to treat, but treating your grandfather's illness is equivalent to going against your uncle's group. You also have to deal with the spirit cultivators your uncle found … It might be a lot of trouble."
He Yuqiong felt as if she had heard a thunderbolt. Her beautiful face changed and she cried out, "Immortal, please save me!"
"Uh, don't call me immortal, I'm still far from it." Ling Yun smiled and said casually, "Just call me Lin Tian."
Ling Yun had killed three spirit cultivators, and his name had already been exposed. He had already formed a death grudge with that group of spirit cultivators, so he had no intention of rejecting He Yuqiong.
The trouble Ling Yun was talking about was not the trouble on He Yuqiong's side, but the matter that he originally thought he would only need to make a trip to treat his illness. He wanted to return on the same day, but now he might have to delay it for a few more days.
He didn't have this time before the Devil Subduing Conference.
Seeing that Ling Yun was silent, He Yuqiong became anxious and said hurriedly, "Immortal … Mister Lin, as long as you're willing to save my He family, no matter what request you have, as long as it's within my power, I will definitely do it for you!"
He Yuqiong was very clear that this Lin Tian before her was definitely her benefactor. He was also her only hope, and she had to hold on to him tightly, no matter the cost!
There was nothing else, Ling Yun could fly! That was enough. He Yuqiong knew that the three spirit cultivators couldn't fly.
"As for requests, I do have them …"
Ling Yun was deep in thought, calculating the time in his heart.
The moment He Yuqiong heard Ling Yun's request, she knew that he had agreed to it. Instantly, she was overjoyed. "Please speak, Mister Lin!"
"First, you still need to stay in the capital for a few more days. You have to give me some of the medicinal herbs you obtained from the auction. I need to use them to refine a real Awakening Pill. As long as this pill is consumed, your grandfather's consciousness will immediately return to normal."
He Yuqiong nodded like a chick pecking at grains. "Of course, that's not a problem. In that case, I'll give you all those medicinal herbs!"
She had originally been bidding for those medicinal herbs in order to treat her grandfather's illness.
"But now we all know that since it's your family that wants to harm your grandfather, relying on this Awakening Pill is completely useless, because they can continue to harm him. Moreover, once they find out that you've found a way to treat your grandfather, they might change their plans, which will be disadvantageous to both your grandfather and you."
Hearing this, He Yuqiong's originally excited expression immediately collapsed. Her face was deathly pale as she stuttered, "Mister Lin, you're really thoughtful. Then … then what should we do?"
Ling Yun smiled. "So, the second request is that this Awakening Pill can only be brought over by me personally and watched your grandfather consume it. This way, even if they want to harm your grandfather again, they won't be able to do so."
