“I really don’t understand both of you. Fine, I will stop mentioning it. But why do you both keep refusing to admit it!?” Shen Kuangniu’s mouth twitched. “Sister, if he is not my brother-in-law, then why is such a big boss like him who is a legend in Song Jiang City taking you to see a doctor during his free time? If you are not his woman, why don’t you resist him rather than allowing him to carry you?”

Yang Ming smiled bitterly. He did not expect Shen Kuangniu to be this talkative. His analysis was clear and logical.

“What do you kids know about such a thing? Yang Ming is a loyal person. What does it have to do with what you said?” Shen Yuxi berated her brother.

“Okay, I will stop mentioning this matter. Isn’t that enough?” Shen Kuangniu rolled his eyes. He then said, “Brother-in-law, your car looks good. Can I drive my girlfriend around for a ride in this car one day?”

“Kuangniu, what are you talking about?” Shen Yuxi exploded in rage. “You aren’t doing well in school and yet you already have a girlfriend at such a young age? Who is your girlfriend? I will go and look for her. In the past, I worked hard to pay for your school fees. Yet, you are doing just as you like in school?”

“…” Shen Kuangniu stuck his tongue out. He was caught up in his excitement and had inadvertently blurted out his secret. He had kept this secret from Shen Yuxi in the past but accidentally blurted it out as he considered Yang Ming as his brother-in-law.

“Why did you stop talking? What’s going on?” Shen Yuxi stared at Shen Kuangniu.

“Well, Yuxi, you can’t control this kind of thing. It’s better to let him take care of this matter himself,” Yang Ming smiled and said. “It is okay to do so as long as you put forth the condition that his grades are not affected.”

“Hehe, brother-in-law understands me best!” Shen Kuangniu was somewhat pleased. “I am in the top ten of my class. It is easy for me to get into Song Jiang Industry University!”

Shen Yuxi looked at Yang Ming helplessly but she also knew his advice made sense. It was easier to go with the flow for such a matter rather than enforcing restrictions. There would likely be an intense backlash if she tried to micromanage this matter.

The Medical and Medicine University was located in Songshan City. Songshan City was a second-tier city of average size that was nearby Song Jiang City. It was more prosperous than Song Jiang due to it being developed earlier.

It took an hour’s drive to arrive at Songshan City from Songjiang. There was no expressway between the two cities; only a national highway. Although Yang Ming drove quickly and rushed towards the destination, he only reached the family courtyard of Songshan’s Medical and Medicine University just as the clock was about to strike six o’clock.

The family courtyard had strict security procedures. However, Yang Ming’s car had a special pass. Once the security guard carefully checked the pass, he allowed Yang Ming to enter the premises. Yang Ming parked the car in front of a villa that matched the address provided by Liu Weishan.

“Kuangniu, please wait in the car with your sister for a while. I will go down and scout the area. You can carry your sister out afterward. Can you do this? Do you have the strength?” Yang Ming asked Shen Kuangniu.

“Brother-in-law, don’t you remember what my name is? Shen Kuangniu [1]. Can a mad bull be without strength? My sister is very light. Even if she is twice as heavy, I can still carry her!” boasted Shen Kuangniu.

“Oh, okay…” Yang Ming smiled, then got out of the car and walked to the front of the villa. He saw a man and a woman approaching the villa just as he was about to ring the doorbell. They were both in their twenties and seemed to be a couple.

“Huh? Are you…” The man saw Yang Ming at the door and was a bit puzzled. “Who are you looking for?”

“I’m looking for Professor Guan. Who are you?” Yang Ming guessed that this person was probably a resident of the villa. He should be Guan Xuemin’s nephew.

“Oh, you are looking for my father,” the man nodded. “Wait here for a while.”

After he said that, he took out a key and opened the door of the villa. He then entered the villa and shouted inside, “Dad, someone is looking for you.”

“Oh? Little Xiang, we have guests?” Guan Xuemin walked downstairs with a book in his hand, and saw Yang Ming standing at the door. He was stunned for a moment, then said, “You are, Elder Liu’s…”

“Hi, Professor Guan. I am Yang Ming, Elder Liu’s godson. My godfather informed you earlier about my visit to help my friend with her condition…” Yang Ming explained.

“I know. Elder Liu mentioned it.” Guan Xuemin nodded. “Where is your friend? I will take a look at her condition.”

“Wait for a while, Professor Guan. I’ll bring her here immediately.” Yang Ming looked at Guan Xuemin from top to bottom. He was middle-aged, about forty years old. His body was slightly larger, which was a typical body shape for people of Northeast China.

However, he was refined and had an academic demeanor. Guan Xuemin nodded and said, “Little Xiang, go and get some water for our guests. Then, go back to your room and do whatever you want.”

“Alright, dad.” The young man named Little Xiang nodded. He was about to pour water but the girl beside him interrupted, “Let me do it.”

Yang Ming left the villa and gestured to Shen Kuangniu. Shen Kuangniu saw the gesture and carried Shen Yuxi out of the car and into the villa. Guan Xuemin asked him to place Shen Yuxi inside the guest room next to the living room on the first floor.

Inside the room were a bed, a desk and a sofa. Guan Xuemin asked Shen Kuangniu to put Shen Yuxi on the bed and then motioned Yang Ming and Shen Kuangniu to sit on the sofa and wait for him.

At this time, Little Xiang’s girlfriend came in with a few cups of tea. She gave both Yang Ming and Shen Kuangniu a cup. As for the remaining two cups, one was given to Guan Xuemin. The other cup was set aside seemingly for Shen Yuxi.

“Uncle, shall I go out first?” The girl asked Guan Xuemin for instructions.

Guan Xuemin nodded, “Close the door.”

Upon hearing his instructions, the girl walked out respectfully and closed the door behind her.

Guan Xuemin then proceeded to assess Shen Yuxi. He pricked Shen Yuxi’s leg with several sterilized silver needles then asked Shen Yuxi if she felt anything.

When he saw Shen Yuxi repeatedly shaking her head, Guan Xuemin was a little disappointed. He sighed, “This seems to be a serious case!”

Even though Yang Ming did not originally have much hope that Guan Xuemin could cure Shen Yuxi, he still could not help but feel a little down when he heard Guan Xuemin’s words. “Professor Guan, are you saying that there is no hope at all?”

“There will always be hope.” Guan Xuemin did not mention anything about the situation being hopeless. “However, enabling her to regain sensation in her legs will stretch the limits of my abilities…”

“I am already grateful for such a possibility!” Yang Ming also knew that this matter would take time.

“Oh, Maybe, there will be a miracle,” said Guan Xuemin.

“I hope so,” Yang Ming nodded. “Professor Guan, thank you!”

“Oh, you are Elder Liu’s godson. Why the need to thank me? I have a close relationship with Elder Liu! In fact, I admire him!” said Guan Xuemin. “Don’t worry, I will do my best!”

“Then, thank you, Professor Guan. As for the consultation fee…” Yang Ming naturally felt that it was inappropriate not to pay any money. Although Guan Xuemin did not mention it, he could not just let it be!

“No need to mention money, Yang Ming. I am just helping out an old friend. I will be angry if you insist on doing so!” Guan Xuemin did not care much about things like money. So, he straightened his face and started to look serious.
