"What's wrong, Su Chen?"
Tang Yun, who was beside him, noticed his expression was off and imdiately asked.
"Aunt Pei, are you from the Pei Family?"
Su Chen looked at Pei Rou and asked her directly.
"My surna is Pei, of course I'm from the Pei Family."
Pei Rou said hesitantly, sowhat unclear about the situation.
"You know what I am talking about."
Su Chen narrowed his eyes and pronounced each word:
"The Yandu Pei Family!"
Although Su Chen might not recognize other mbers of the Pei Family, he had seen a photograph of Elder Pei.
He had done a certain amount of research on the patriarchs of several families in Yandu.
Because the most likely connection to the truth behind his own parents' deaths was these people, how could he not investigate?
Even though he had no concrete evidence implicating the Pei Family, he instinctively had no good feelings for these major families.
"Yes, what about it?"
Pei Rou was still a bit puzzled by what Su Chen ant.
"I'll be going now."
Su Chen turned and walked outside without any hesitation.
"Su, why? You should at least give Auntie a reason."
Pei Rou called out from behind, completely bewildered and at a loss about why Su Chen suddenly seed like a different person.
Just as Su Chen reached the doorway, he heard her and slowly turned around:
"Pei Family, I won't save!"
His voice was filled with a cold and indifferent feel, causing an involuntary shiver in one's heart.
After saying this, he opened the door and walked out... Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire
However, these words imdiately sparked a firestorm among the others!
What did this guy just say?
Not save Pei Family?
If others knew they were from the Pei Family, they would all too willingly fawn over them like groveling dogs!
Yet in the mouth of this guy, it seed as if they were plague gods!
How could mbers of the proud Pei Family endure such a perceived insult, seeming like the greatest affront!
Just as a few mbers of the Pei Family wanted to retort with anger, the woman in white had already spoken:
"Mr. Su, please wait!"
"Is there sothing else?"
Perhaps because of his good impression of this woman, Su Chen who had just stepped out of the room, paused and turned around once more.
"Mr. Su, is there so kind of grudge between you and my Pei Family?"
The woman in white asked calmly.
"Yes, Su, what exactly is the matter?"
Pei Rou also directly approached and grabbed Su Chen's hand.
"Su Chen, please, no matter what, save my grandfather!"
Tang Yun implored with tears streaming down her face.
"Sigh!"
Su Chen could remain indifferent to other mbers of the Pei Family, but faced with Pei Rou who had always cared for him and Tang Yun whom he had always considered a friend, he felt sowhat troubled.
He truly did not want to save a mber of the Pei Family, but he did not want to hurt Pei Rou or Tang Yun either.
"Why do they have to be related to the Pei Family?!"
Su Chen muttered to himself with a sigh.
The rest of the Pei Family and the two doctors couldn't help but curl their lips, wondering why bother asking him?
He did not seem like soone with profound dical skills.
They even suspected that he was pretending to be this way because he knew he could not actually save the elder.
While thinking this, they temporarily did not express any opinions, of course, mostly out of deference to the woman in white.

"Thump!"
Pei Rou suddenly knelt in front of Su Chen, crying and pleading:
"Su, auntie is begging you!"
Seeing her mother kneel, Tang Yun also followed suit:
"Su Chen, please save my grandfather!"
"Auntie, Tang Yun, please get up first."
"If you don't agree, auntie won't get up!"
Pei Rou said stubbornly, and Tang Yun also had a look of determination!
"Mr. Su, you don't want a cripple like to kneel down and beg you, do you?"
The woman in white spoke indifferently.
"Alright!"
Su Chen finally relented, nodded, and then helped Pei Rou and her daughter to their feet.
This was partly because he had a good relationship with Pei Rou and Tang Yun, and also because there was no evidence at present that the Pei Family was involved in what happened that year.
The reason he did not want to save the patient at first was purely due to his inherent disgust and resistance toward the major families in Yandu.
"Let's take a look at the patient now."
Since he had agreed, Su Chen had no choice but to do his best.
He went to the bedside and carefully checked Old Master Pei's condition.
As he was examining the patient, a sarcastic voice rang out:
"Stop looking. The patient had a sudden myocardial infarction, fell to the ground, and suffered a cerebral hemorrhage. At the sa ti, the patient also has diabetes and complications caused by diabetes. Theoretically, there's almost no hope for recovery, let alone actually performing the operation."
"You're a diocre doctor, don't think everyone else in the world is like you."
Su Chen frowned slightly and spoke faintly.
Upon hearing this, Xu Yizhen's eyes bulged, his long beard flew up, and his face turned red with anger!
He, the esteed Sage of Apricot Forests, was being called a quack by a young man; how could he not be furious?
When the other mbers of the Pei Family heard this, they also thought this young man was far too arrogant!
It was Xu Yizhen they were talking about!
He earned his prestigious title because he saved countless lives with his acupuncture skills!
Even the vice-president was shaking with anger, for he himself wouldn't dare to put on airs in front of Xu Yizhen. What was this fellow?
Just as these people were about to lash out, the woman in white swept a cold gaze over them.
The rest imdiately swallowed the words they had been about to speak.
"How is it? Is there any hope?"
The woman in white asked softly. Though she asked casually, Su Chen still heard a hint of tension in her voice.
"Of course I can save him!"
Su Chen's response was simple and direct.
The crowd was instantly stunned by this statent, especially since both dical experts had just expressed little hope.
"What are the odds?"
Pei Hua also disregarded Su Chen's previous attitude and asked anxiously.
"Are you out of your mind?"
Su Chen curled his lip and said:
"I said 'of course I can save him,' not 'maybe I can save him.'"
Pei Hua was humiliated by Su Chen's remark. When he walked around outside, everyone respectfully called him 'Lord Pei.' How had this young man reprimanded him as having a problem with his brain?
If it were any other ti, he would have slapped this fellow to death long ago.
But at this mont, he had no thoughts of anger, and instead, his eyes shone brightly with disbelief as he asked:
"You an you're sure you can save him?"
"Finally, you're not completely foolish."
Su Chen snorted coldly.
No sooner had he spoken than everyone else was flabbergasted, including the woman in white!
It was no wonder they reacted this way, for they had never imagined Su Chen would give such a conclusion.
They thought that even a re one or two percent chance would be asking for a miracle, yet this young man had given them such a trendous surprise!
