"It must be a call from my Li Ming, definitely bringing good news!"
Qiu Hongyu, like a fluttering butterfly, flaunted her phone in front of everyone.
Amid the crowd's urging and Chang Lan's anticipation, Qiu Hongyu proudly raised her head and connected the call, even switching on the speakerphone.
Li Ming's voice imdiately ca from the phone, but it lacked any trace of joy, filled instead with dejection and a sense of humiliation.
"Hongyu, help, quick, ask Grandma to save !"
This voice startled Qiu Hongyu, and the other mbers of the Qiu Family were also taken aback.
"What's wrong with Li Ming? What happened?"
Qiu Hongyu hurriedly clutched the phone, her voice trembling as she asked.
Li Ming's mournful voice said: "Hongyu, I was treating Elder Liu, but instead of recovering, his condition has worsened."
"Now... now he's on the verge of death, and I... I've been detained by the Liu Family, Hongyu, get Grandma to save quickly!"
Suddenly, everyone was shocked!
The entire Qiu Family fell into a sudden silence!
The Qiu Family mbers looked at one another, each struck dumb.
Qiu Hongyu hastily rushed to Chang Lan, pleading desperately: "Grandma, you heard it, right? Save him, quickly, save Li Ming!"
Chang Lan's mouth twitched, her expression troubled, filled with shock and fear.
Li Ming was certainly sent by her, but he ended up worsening Elder Liu's condition to the brink of death, which was a huge shock to Chang Lan.
Everyone knew the Liu Family was the top family in Hai Province. If anything happened to Elder Liu due to Li Ming's treatnt and the Liu Family beca enraged, it would be more than the Qiu Family could bear!
Crushing the Qiu Family would be as easy as crushing an ant for the Liu Family!
So, Chang Lan panicked and quickly urged Qiu Hongyu to call Li Ming back imdiately.
The call connected quickly, but it was Second Young Master Liu, Liu Qingsong, who answered.
Liu Qingsong's voice was deep and filled with fury.
"Old Mrs. Qiu, look at what you've done. If anything happens to my father, I'll make sure the Qiu Family pays!"
With that, the call ended with a bang.
Chang Lan listened, then collapsed onto the chair.
"It's over, it's really over, we've offended the Liu Family, what will happen to the Qiu Family now!"
Qiu Hongyu also panicked, quickly grabbing Chang Lan's hand and anxiously shouted: "Grandma, what do we do? Li Ming is still with the Liu Family; please save him."
"Don't panic, don't panic!"
Old Mrs. Chang Lan, after all, had weathered many storms. She quickly composed herself and took out a phone book to find a number.
This was the number of an old friend of hers, now serving as a steward in the Liu Family.
The call connected quickly, and Old Mrs. Chang Lan, wasting no ti on pleasantries, urgently inquired about the Liu Family's situation.
The steward inford Chang Lan that Elder Liu's condition wasn't too severe initially, but after Li Ming's acupuncture treatnt, the condition suddenly worsened, and he had fallen unconscious. The Liu Family's private doctors were now trying to save him.
The steward also told Chang Lan that the entire Liu Family was enraged, and regardless of Elder Liu's fate, they were set on revenge.
If anything were to happen to Elder Liu, the entire Qiu Family would likely be buried along with him.
The entire Qiu Family would be buried with him!
Chang Lan was stunned upon hearing this, and the other mbers of the Qiu Family were equally shocked!
To the Qiu Family, the Liu Family was a mighty force.
If such a powerful entity wanted to retaliate against the Qiu Family, they would be crushed utterly!
"Grandma, what do we do? You have to think of a way to save the Qiu Family!"
"Mom, yes, think of sothing quickly!"
"Aunt!"
"Auntie!"
Everyone in the Qiu Family was in a panic, clustering around Old Mrs. Chang Lan, clamoring for her to find a solution.
But even Chang Lan was at a loss, montarily bereft of any ideas or direction.
