Hearing Gao Wenyen say this, Shu Liu’s tears spilled out.

“Then… what should we do?”

Gao Wenyen sighed softly, “A doctor can cure diseases, but not fate. Prepare yourself mentally!” After saying that, he left first.

As Shu Liu’s good friend, Gao Shengnan naturally stayed to keep her company.

“Alright, life and death are predestined, and the old master isn’t young anymore. Don’t be too sad!”

Shu Liu looked up at Gao Shengnan with a face full of grief and indignation.

“Grandfather isn’t dead yet, and the people from the Chi Family are already being very aggressive. What will I do if he’s gone?”

Hearing this remark, Gao Shengnan couldn’t help but sigh as well, “The Chi Family is… indeed going too far!”

Filled with sorrow, Shu Liu walked into the hospital room and saw the only family she had in this world lying unconscious on the bed, her tears falling in a rush.

After approaching the bed, she bent down and whispered into her grandfather’s ear: “Grandfather, what will I do if you leave?”

Seemingly hearing her, the old man’s body trembled slightly, and a tear seeped from the corner of his eye.

Shu Liu prepared to take a handkerchief from her pocket to wipe her grandfather’s tears.

Suddenly, she touched the glass bottle in her pocket.

A flash of inspiration struck her mind.

She couldn’t help but remember the group of people she had seen that day and the man with the indifferent expression who said there was a potion that could prolong life by twenty years.

Could there really be such a potion?

If it were any other time, Shu Liu would have scoffed at it.

But now, as her closest kin was about to pass away, her mind was in turmoil.

Should she give it a try?

Shu Liu, trembling, took out the glass bottle and gently opened the lid.

A strange, pleasant fragrance assailed her, making one feel refreshed and uplifted.

Shu Liu gritted her teeth and poured the potion down her grandfather’s throat.

Five minutes, no reaction!

Ten minutes, still none!

An hour later, Shu Liu, looking at her grandfather, just as always, was utterly hopeless.

How could she have been so foolish to believe in such things?

Shu Liu laughed at herself mockingly, then sat by the bed, ready to accompany the old man on his final journey.

The fatigue from the past few days and the immense pressure from the Chi Family had already exhausted this girl.

So, without knowing when, Shu Liu fell asleep by the bed.

She didn’t know how long she slept.

Shu Liu felt someone gently stroking her hair.

The palm was warm and broad, just like… how her grandfather used to stroke her when she was little.

Suddenly!

Shu Liu woke up.

Grandfather!

How is he?

Shu Liu looked up and then saw her grandfather, looking rosy-cheeked, leaning against the head of the bed and smiling at her.

Shu Liu was stunned.

Is this a dream?

It must be a dream, she probably was too tired recently!

While she was still in a daze, Shu He chuckled and shook his head, “Silly girl, what are you dazing for?”

Shu Liu’s tears kept falling, “Grandfather, this is a dream, right? Are you going to leave me?”

Shu He wiped the tears from Shu Liu’s face and chuckled, “I am your grandfather, and this isn’t a dream; I really woke up!”

Shu Liu was initially in disbelief until she pinched her own cheek, then she was stunned.

It’s real!

This is real!

A surge of ecstasy overwhelmed him.

Shu Liu hugged her grandfather tightly, bursting into tears.

Just then, Gao Wenyen and his daughter Gao Shengnan arrived outside the hospital room.

Hearing the crying inside, Gao Shengnan’s face changed, “Father, has Old Master Shu passed away?”

Gao Wenyen sighed, “When I checked his pulse yesterday, I could tell he wouldn’t make it through today. Poor Shu Liu…”

Gao Wenyen didn’t finish his sentence, because he and his daughter were both staring with eyes wide open, slack-jawed at the scene inside the room.

Shu He, whom Gao Wenyen had diagnosed as certain to die just yesterday, was now sitting up in bed with a rosy complexion, nodding and smiling at the Gao father and daughter as they entered.

Gao Shengnan got a shiver up her spine, thinking she might be seeing a ghost.

Whereas Gao Wenyen frowned, wondering if this could be the phenomenon of rallying before death.

But this was too strong of a rally.

At this moment, Shu Liu stopped her crying, stood up, and bowed to Gao Wenyen, “Uncle Gao, my grandfather says he’s fine now, but I’m still worried. Please, check him!”

Gao Wenyen stepped forward to take the pulse, and his face inevitably changed dramatically.

“Uncle Gao, how is my grandfather’s illness?” Shu Liu asked anxiously.

Gao Wenyen shook his head, “Your grandfather’s illness… is completely cured! His current physical condition is even better than mine!”

That statement shocked everyone in the room.

Even Shu He was somewhat astonished and baffled.

Gao Wenyen, with eyes sharp as knives, fixed his gaze on Shu Liu and demanded, “Shu Liu, tell me, what did you feed the old master?”

Shu Liu’s heart trembled violently, and she suddenly remembered the small glass bottle, and the words Xue An had said.

She nodded and gave a rough account of what had happened.

A boundless light burst forth in Gao Wenyen’s eyes, an excitement his daughter Gao Shengnan had never seen in him before.

“Where’s that bottle? Quick! Let me see it!”

“I threw it away after feeding it to Grandpa last night!”

“Where did you throw it?” Gao Wenyen asked urgently.

“Outside in the trash can…” Shu Liu began.

Before she could finish, Gao Wenyen had already rushed out.

Luckily, he left early; otherwise, the morning janitors would have taken all the trash away.

Gao Wenyen, with the utmost solemnity, picked up the small glass bottle and brought it to his nose to sniff.

Then he closed his eyes and fell silent.

“Uncle Gao, what’s the matter?” Shu Liu inquired.

A tear trickled from the corner of Gao Wenyen’s eye, then he suppressed his excitement and said, “Shu Liu, tell your uncle, will those people come today?”

The question reminded Shu Liu, and she exclaimed, “The person yesterday said they only gave me one night to consider!”

“Quick! Make a phone call!” Gao Wenyen shouted hoarsely.

When Shu Liu got through to Xue An on the phone, Gao Wenyen couldn’t wait to snatch it from her, took a deep breath, and said with utmost respect, “Predecessor!”

Predecessor?

This address changed the expressions of everyone present.

Gao Wenyen’s status in Zhongdu was extraordinary, and even the most powerful and influential Family Heads had to show him respect.

After all, no one can avoid falling ill.

And Gao Wenyen had always been indifferent to worldly affairs, always maintaining a calm demeanor.

But today, he acted like a schoolboy meeting his idol!

On the other end, Xue An simply chuckled, “What, did the trial prove successful?”

Gao Wenyen hummed in acknowledgment, then respectfully said, “Predecessor, do you have time today? Myself, Shu Liu, and Old Master Shu all wish to meet you in person!”

When Xue An and others once again arrived at this pharmaceutical factory, just as they entered.

Gao Wenyen was already running towards them, heading straight for Xue An.

Upon reaching close, Gao Wenyen bowed respectfully, “The apprentice greets the predecessor!”

Xue An looked at the man near his sixties and smiled faintly, “Divine Doctor Gao?”

Gao Wenyen gave a wry smile, “In your presence, who in the world dares to claim the title of Divine Doctor?”
