Chapter 371: Was This Young Lady Destined to Fail?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The crowd stared at Chi Jiao fixedly.
They were really curious as to how capable this young lady before them was.
Chi Jiao’s expression remained indifferent from the beginning to the end. Her pitch-black and bright eyes were like clear black gems that emitted a faint glow. She slowly continued to press a few parts of Old Master Meng’s leg.
She realized that Old Master Meng had a bigger reaction when she was massaging his calf.
“Grandpa Meng, your problem is a little serious,” Chi Jiao said gently to him.
When the onlookers heard her words, they couldn’t help but look at her with mockery and faint pity.
Since she said so, it should be a little tricky..
Was this young lady destined to fail?
The reporters even aimed their cameras at Chi Jiao and Old Master Meng, preparing to capture the process of her treating him.
“Jiaojiao, can you treat it?” Meng He looked at her worriedly.
He wasn’t questioning Chi Jiao’s ability, but he was wondering if this girl could really cure his father without any special medical equipment.
Chi Jiao nodded faintly. “It can be treated, but the process might be a little painful.”
“Jiaojiao, don’t worry. I’m not afraid of pain.” Old Master Meng smiled and said, “This pain is nothing compared to the pain of a bullet piercing my leg.”
“Grandpa Meng is a hero,” Chi Jiao said in a respectful tone.
She had always been very respectful to the police and soldiers.
Old Master Meng smiled at her. “Then, just treat my illness. You don’t have to worry about me.”
Chi Jiao nodded and took off the canvas bag on her back.
She took out her silver needles and two bottles of medicine from it.
When Meng Xueqing saw the two bottles of medicine, surprise flashed across her eyes.
The medicine produced by 007 Laboratory had a uniform packaging. It was a small black bottle with a white label on it. The label had complicated symbols that only the people in 007 or those who worked with 007 could understand. It was to prevent outsiders from impersonating 007 and making fake products.
At that moment, Meng Xueqing recognized the black bottle in Chi Jiao’s hand at a glance. It was the exclusive bottle in 007’s laboratory.
The black bottle was made of special materials. It could ensure that the medicine inside wouldn’t deteriorate once it was no longer in low temperatures.
“You gave Miss Chi the medicine?” Meng Xueqing asked Yan Qingqing softly.
Yan Qingqing nodded in a daze. “I guess it can be considered that.”
Jiaojiao had indeed asked her to bring out those two bottles of medicine.
Meng Xueqing was focused on Chi Jiao, so she didn’t notice Yan Qingqing’s ambiguous words.
“Grandpa Meng, take this medicine first.” Chi Jiao handed one of the black bottles with a special blue symbol to him.
Huo Wanwan glanced at the black bottle and couldn’t help but ask, “Miss Chi, what medicine are you giving Old Master Meng? Why is the packaging so strange? It doesn’t even seem to have any basic information about the medicine.”
Normally, medicine bottles would have basic information about the medicine on them.
However, only strange symbols could be seen on the black bottle.
It looked very strange.
Chapter 372: How Can Medicine Be Taken So Recklessly? If You Don’t Do It Properly, You Might Lose Your Life
Huo Chongjin, who had been suppressing his anger all this while, spoke up as well. He looked at Chi Jiao and said, “Miss Chi, you can spout nonsense, but medicine can’t be consumed carelessly. Someone might lose their life like this.”
The other onlookers couldn’t help but discuss as well.
“Isn’t this young lady too bold? How can she casually give someone medicine like that?”
“That’s right. How can medicine be taken so recklessly? If you don’t do it properly, you might lose your life.”
“What’s wrong with Old Master Meng? How can he take his life as a joke?”
“…”
Meng Xueqing listened to the discussions around her and was about to say something.
That medicine was not an ordinary product. It was medicine from 007 Laboratory that had been certified by the country.
But before she could speak, Yan Qingqing pulled her back.
“Don’t talk first. After your father is cured by Jiaojiao, those people will naturally shut up,” Yan Qingqing whispered into her ear with a wicked smile.
She wanted to see those people being slapped in their faces by Jiaojiao. It would definitely be very interesting.
Meng Xueqing immediately shut her mouth.
She really wanted to see the scene of Chi Jiao slapping them.
In her opinion, since Chi Jiao had already taken out medicine from 007 Laboratory, she would definitely be able to cure her father.
Those people really didn’t know anything. How dare they look down on the things in 007? They really treated ignorance as intelligence!
They were utterly stupid!
Chi Jiao ignored them and looked at Old Master Meng instead.
Old Master Meng ignored their comments. At this moment, his eyes were shining as he looked at the medicine in Chi Jiao’s hand.
He had once drunk this medicine contained in a black bottle from Chi Jiao back in Mount Li.
After drinking it, his body seemed to have become a few years younger. He felt lighter and more comfortable than he had in years.
“Help me up,” Old Master Meng said to his son.
Meng He immediately went forward and helped him up.
Then, under everyone’s gazes, Old Master Meng couldn’t wait to open the medicine bottle and drink it in one gulp.
The medicine was actually a little sweet.
The people who were originally discussing couldn’t help but swallow their saliva when they saw Old Master Meng finishing the medicine and looking like he wanted more.
Chi Jiao watched as Old Master Meng finished the medicine and instructed him to lie down again.
Old Master Meng was usually a stubborn old man, but in front of Chi Jiao, he showed a very cooperative side of him and immediately laid back down.
Chi Jiao squatted on the carpet beside the sofa and rolled up Old Master Meng’s trousers, revealing his calves.
Then, she took out the silver needles.
The onlookers looked at the one-inch-long silver needle in Chi Jiao’s hand and couldn’t help but feel a little afraid.
However, Chi Jiao didn’t seem to notice them as she directly inserted the silver needles into the acupuncture points on Old Master Meng’s calves.
She moved quickly and didn’t even blink. She didn’t seem to be thinking at all.
Just as Chi Jiao had said, the process was a little painful.
Old Master Meng immediately felt a piercing pain in his leg.
“Grandpa Meng, there are needles in your leg, so you can’t move it. You have to endure the pain,” Chi Jiao whispered to him.
Old Master Meng resisted the pain and nodded.
He didn’t dare to make a sound, afraid that he would make a painful groan the moment he did.
Even though he was old, the iron blood in his bones had not been erased by time.
Everyone in the Meng family looked at Old Master Meng with heartache.
But they did not say anything.
Because they knew very well that Chi Jiao was confident in curing their Old Master.
Chapter 373: If You Can’t, Then Shut Your Mouth and Stop Talking
The onlookers held their breaths as they watched the scene. The atmosphere was a little tense.
Next, Chi Jiao placed a few needles on Old Master Meng’s forehead.
From head to toe, Old Master Meng had a total of nine needles on him.
This was Chi Jiao’s exclusive therapy.
Coupled with the medicine she had given him, the effects were excellent.
Old Master Meng endured the immense pain with gritted teeth as he remained motionless.
When the surrounding onlookers saw Old Master Meng’s face gradually turning pale and his forehead covered in a cold sweat, they couldn’t help but start to have second thoughts.
Would this really work?
Why did Old Master Meng look even worse than before?
“Grandpa Meng looks like he’s in a lot of pain.” Huo Wanwan couldn’t help but speak again. She looked at him worriedly and then at Chi Jiao. “Chi Jiao, is your method really effective? Can’t you see that Grandpa Meng is enduring a lot of pain right now?”
Chi Jiao’s eyes were calm as she turned to look at her indifferently. “He’ll be fine.”
Just as Huo Wanwan was about to say something, Yan Qingqing’s cold voice was heard again. “Huo Wanwan, try treating Old Master Meng instead if you can. If you can’t, then shut your mouth and stop talking.”
Huo Wanwan was really afraid of Yan Qingqing. She immediately shut her mouth, but her eyes filled with unwillingness.
She couldn’t say any vulgar words as and when she wanted like Yan Qingqing.
She was a delicate lady.
Delicate ladies didn’t curse, so she could only endure it.
Seeing that Huo Wanwan had stopped, Yan Qingqing snorted coldly.
The huge hall fell into silence as everyone’s attention was focused on Old Master Meng.
Old Master Meng felt like his left leg was on fire. It hurt and felt a little itchy.
“Grandpa Meng, hold on a little longer. When I remove the needles, you won’t be in pain anymore,” Chi Jiao said gently to him.
The girl’s soft voice sounded comforting. Old Master Meng endured the immense pain and agreed with a trembling voice.
Another five minutes passed.
Chi Jiao started to take out the needles.
After taking off all nine needles, Old Master Meng felt a metallic taste in his throat.
Immediately after, he couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
The blood was black and emitted a faint stench.
“Dad!” When Meng He and Meng Xueqing saw that Old Master Meng had vomited blood, they immediately walked to the sofa and shouted nervously.
The other members of the Meng family also surrounded them.
When Huo Wanwan saw Old Master Meng vomiting blood, a look of schadenfreude flashed across her eyes. She looked at Chi Jiao and said, “Chi Jiao, you’ve treated Old Master Meng so badly that he’s vomiting blood! What are your intentions?”
These words seemed to be questioning Chi Jiao.
In reality, she wanted to shift everyone’s attention to her.
The reporters who had originally aimed their cameras at Old Master Meng immediately turned their cameras to Chi Jiao.
Many people also looked at her with condemnation.
“This lady is so young. How can she be so muddle-headed? She’s taking other people’s lives as a joke.”
“Old Master Meng’s condition earlier was already a little off. Now, he’s vomiting blood.”
“If he vomited blood, it must be serious. Why isn’t the Meng family calling for an ambulance?”
“…”
No matter how the discussions went, Chi Jiao remained calm and composed.
Chapter 374: Miss Chi, Why Did Old Master Meng Vomit Blood?
Without needing her to explain, Old Master Meng’s voice was heard.
“I’m fine. Don’t worry.” His voice was clearly not as weak as before. Instead, it was full of energy.
Everyone’s gazes immediately turned to him.
Old Master Meng was about to sit up from the sofa when Meng He tried to help him. However, he waved his hand in rejection.
Then, Old Master Meng sat up from the sofa himself. His complexion looked much better than before, with a healthy redness.
This state stunned those who originally doubted Chi Jiao.
This person had just vomited blood. Why did he look better after vomiting blood?
Huo Wanwan was no less shocked than everyone else.
She didn’t believe that Chi Jiao could cure Old Master Meng at all.
It was said that Old Master Meng had seen many doctors, but none of them had much effect.
As one got older, some physical problems could not be reversed.
Old Master Meng’s illness was caused by the deterioration of his body due to his old age. It caused his old injury to act up.
But how old was Chi Jiao? Did she really have the ability to cure Old Master Meng?
Was this old man sure it wasn’t his final breath?
“Grandpa Meng, how are you feeling now?” Chi Jiao asked him.
“I feel much better. My leg doesn’t hurt anymore,” Old Master Meng said with a bright smile as he took the tissue from Meng He and wiped the blood from his mouth.
From his condition, it was obvious that he was much better than before.
“Miss Chi, why did Old Master Meng vomit blood?” Huo Chongjin couldn’t help but ask Chi Jiao. The way he looked at her was no longer as disdainful as before. Instead, it was filled with scrutiny.
“Grandpa Meng has a cold evil illness. He can naturally be treated by luring the cold air out of his body through his veins,” Chi Jiao said indifferently. Actually, Old Master Meng’s symptoms were a little similar to her biological grandfather’s. The only difference was that Old Master Meng had aftereffects due to his serious injuries, causing the cold evil to enter his body. As long as this cold evil was completely expelled, the aftereffects of Old Master Meng’s old injury would be completely cured.
Old Master Meng’s condition was a little more difficult than her grandfather’s. He still had to be treated with medicine for a period of time before he could fully recover.
The people around them didn’t understand what Chi Jiao meant. They only felt that it was just an endless mystery.
“Miss Chi, will my father’s leg be fine in the future?” Meng Xueqing asked Chi Jiao.
Chi Jiao handed the other bottle of medicine to her. “Grandpa Meng needs to take this three times a day after meals. Each serving is one drop of medicine with 50ml of water. When half of this medicine bottle is consumed, Grandpa Meng’s illness will be completely eliminated, and his leg will naturally no longer hurt.”
Meng Xueqing hurriedly took the medicine and looked at her seriously. “Miss Chi, if I’m not wrong, this medicine is from 007 Laboratory, right?”
The crowd was in an uproar the moment she uttered those words.
Many people had the same thoughts as Huo Wanwan. They felt that the medicine in Chi Jiao’s hand was a prescription that she had obtained from an unknown place. They thought it was a brandless product.
Who would’ve expected it to be medicine from 007?
Huo Wanwan felt like she was struck by lightning.
Of course, she had heard of 007 Laboratory.
Her grandfather had once used his connections to buy health supplements from there. They were very expensive.
Who on earth was Chi Jiao?
Why didn’t her heart ache at all when she used the medicine from 007 Laboratory and just gave it to Grandpa Meng like that?
Chapter 375: Was She Pretending to Be Good With 007’s Medicine?
“Miss Chi, so you used medicine from 007 Laboratory. No wonder it could cure Old Master Meng’s illness.” Huo Chongjin had a look of realization as he smiled at Chi Jiao.
The other people who were originally surprised that Chi Jiao could cure Old Master Meng instantly felt enlightened as well.
Yes.
This girl was using the medicine from 007 Laboratory!
No wonder she could cure Old Master Meng.
It was probably because of the medicine that Old Master Meng had drunk in the beginning.
When Huo Wanwan heard what her father said, her gaze towards Chi Jiao was instantly filled with contempt.
What was this?! Was she pretending to be good with 007’s medicine?
No wonder this girl was so confident. If it were her, she would also be confident if she had a special medicine that could treat Old Master Meng’s illness.
“The bottle I gave Old Master Meng at the beginning was not a medicine to treat the illness,” Chi Jiao said indifferently.
Huo Chongjin and the rest were confused.
“Grandpa Meng, is the taste of the purple peach juice the same as before?” Chi Jiao asked with a smile.
Old Master Meng’s eyes lit up as he nodded. He looked like he hadn’t had enough. “It’s indeed delicious, but it’s just too little.”
“Purple peaches have harsh requirements for survival, so they can’t be mass-produced. However, it’s not good to drink too much of this too. If it’s too nourishing, it will have the opposite effect,” Chi Jiao said with a smile.
Purple peach was a medicinal fruit that her god grandfather had researched and planted.
The taste was very good, and it could be used as medicine to strengthen the body, vitalize the meridians, and strengthen one’s foundation and essence.
Chi Jiao had just fed Old Master Meng the purple peach juice to appease him so that he wouldn’t be so nervous.
After all, the treatment process earlier was very painful.
“The purple peach juice doesn’t have the effect of treating the illness. Miss Chi, you’re really amazing,” Meng Xueqing deliberately raised her voice and said in appreciation.
When Huo Chongjin and Huo Wanwan heard that, their expressions turned ugly.
The repeated face-smacking made them doubt their lives.
“Alright, let the banquet continue. Don’t worry, everyone. I’m fine now.” Old Master Meng was in a good mood as he kept a smile on his face. “Please do as you please. Treat this as your home. Don’t be reserved.”
Just as he said that, the surrounding people consciously dispersed.
This small interlude came to an end.
“Jiaojiao, come with me to the study. I haven’t seen you in a long time, I want to have a chat with you.” Old Master Meng looked at her expectantly.
Chi Jiao nodded and turned to look at him. “Brother Quan, will you wait for me here for a while?”
Quan Jue agreed faintly.
After Chi Jiao and Old Master Meng went to the study, Quan Jue felt that there was no point in staying around any longer. He turned around and walked out of the banquet hall.
Although it was cold outside, it was thankfully quieter here.
When Huo Chongjin saw that he had left, he hurriedly followed.
After leaving the villa, a cold breeze blew at them.
Quan Jue walked to the flower bed in front of the courtyard and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. He lit one and took a puff.
He rarely smoked.
He only did it if he was having complex feelings.
In fact, after meeting that woman in Shang Jing, he was only calm when he was with Jiaojiao. Other times, he was more irritable.
“Xiao Jue.” Huo Chongjin walked up to him and greeted him in a more enthusiastic tone.
