I Become The Richest Man With A monthly Salary of Twenty Thousand Yuan-Chapter 654 - 462 Done_2
Ning Jiacheng wasn’t thoroughly convinced of Xia Liang’s abilities until he met with He Hongsheng from Haojiang. Only after hearing the confirmation from the man’s own mouth did he finally believe. After all, He Hongsheng’s ruddy complexion was impossible to fake. Before, his health had been even worse than Ning Jiacheng’s. But after Xia Liang granted him three more years of life, his complexion had improved immensely.
Therefore, Xia Liang had become Old Master Ning Jiacheng’s last hope. After all, he’d heard the rumors that Xia Liang could revive a person on the brink of death with just a few words. Surely, awakening someone in a vegetative state would be possible for him as well.
Listening to Ning Jiacheng, Xia Liang nodded slightly, his gaze resting calmly on the old man. Just a moment ago, he had examined Ning Jiacheng’s trajectory of fate. He saw all the efforts the old man had made over the years to awaken his granddaughter. Xia Liang was, indeed, Old Master Ning’s last straw.
As Xia Liang reviewed the panel displaying Old Master Ning Jiacheng’s future, he also knew that if he performed this miracle and failed to save his granddaughter, the shock would likely kill the old man on the spot.
Seeing Xia Liang remain silent for so long and unsure of his thoughts, Ning Jiacheng quickly continued, "I wonder, Master Xia, if you could awaken my little granddaughter? The Ning family owns quite a few buildings in Xiangjiang. Grand Master Xia, you can have any one you want. Just say the word."
Ning Jiacheng’s eyes were filled with the utmost sincerity. Fearing that Xia Liang was still not satisfied, he quickly added, "If there is anything else Master Xia desires, please say so. As long as you are willing to save my granddaughter, I will give you a ten percent share in the Ning family! Please, Grand Master Xia, you must save her!"
Ten percent.
Xia Liang showed no reaction to Ning Jiacheng’s offer, but Wu Tong, standing beside him, nearly gasped in shock. When Ning Jiacheng’s personal assets were publicly disclosed a few years ago, they already amounted to millions. And that was after he had distributed the majority of his wealth among his sons and the Ning family. A full ten percent share of the entire Ning family... The figure was simply astronomical. It was no wonder Wu Tong was so stunned.
But hearing Ning Jiacheng’s words, Xia Liang merely smiled faintly. He picked up the cup of tea Ning Jiacheng had poured for him and took a small sip. "Old Master Ning, you needn’t worry," he said. "Didn’t I tell you I’ve already accepted your gift? Naturally, I will help."
Only when he heard Xia Liang’s confirmation did Ning Jiacheng truly relax. He hurriedly pulled a pen from his coat pocket, placed it on the document folder, and pushed it toward Xia Liang. All Xia Liang had to do was sign, and the high-rise residential building would be his.
"Then please, sign first, Master Xia. Once you do, this Tai Tower is yours. Then we can go straight to the Ning estate so you can see my granddaughter," Ning Jiacheng urged, his voice trembling with barely suppressed excitement.
But strangely, as Xia Liang watched the old man’s eager actions and listened to his voice, he simply chuckled and shook his head. "I never said I would accept this building."
"What? But Master Xia, you just said you would help me if you accepted my gift!" Ning Jiacheng’s face turned pale, terrified that Xia Liang would go back on his word. He couldn’t understand why Xia Liang would say such a thing. Beside him, Wu Tong was equally puzzled. This Tai Tower is worth at least 30,000 Yuan, and he’s just refusing it?
However, Xia Liang didn’t refute him. Instead, he continued, "I have indeed accepted your gift, Old Master Ning, and I will help. But the gift I was referring to was not this building."
Old Master Ning subconsciously asked, "Then what gift are you referring to, Grand Master Xia? I didn’t bring anything else."
This time, Xia Liang didn’t respond directly. He simply picked up the cup of tea before him, gave Ning Jiacheng a faint smile, and inclined his head. "Have you forgotten? You just poured me a cup of tea."
His voice echoed softly in the room. For a moment, both Wu Tong and Old Master Ning Jiacheng were baffled.
The next second, just as Old Master Ning Jiacheng opened his mouth to ask a question, he saw Xia Liang raise his right hand. Then, with a slow, deliberate movement...
SNAP.
Xia Liang snapped his fingers.
Before Ning Jiacheng could even ask what that meant, he heard Xia Liang’s next words. "Your granddaughter is fine now."
Slowly lowering his hand, Xia Liang still wore a faint smile. His tone was calm and serene, yet it carried an undeniable, domineering authority.
Hearing Xia Liang’s words, Old Master Ning Jiacheng’s mind went completely blank. He swayed on his feet, barely able to remain standing. Even Wu Tong, who had witnessed Xia Liang’s abilities before, couldn’t help but gasp.
Rubbing his ears, Old Master Ning Jiacheng stared at Xia Liang in disbelief. "Master... Master Xia," he stammered, his throat dry, "what did you just say? My granddaughter is fine now? How is that possible?!" 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
Even though I’ve heard of Master Xia’s reputation from many of Haojiang’s elite, and even though I hold him in the highest possible regard... I still thought he would at least need to visit the Ning family’s private hospital to save my granddaughter. How could he do it from here, with just a snap of his fingers? For years, I’ve worried about her every single day, losing my appetite, unable to sleep. My only dreams were of her waking up. How could a single sentence fix everything? I invited countless famous doctors from home and abroad, sought out numerous hidden masters, and all of it was for nothing. Yet this young man, without even seeing her, claims to have cured her. I’ve heard the rumors, but this is too incredible. Could it be? Is Xia Liang truly a celestial being who has descended to the mortal world, one whose every word is law?
Xia Liang simply watched the old man’s crisis of belief calmly, then his gaze shifted to the mobile phone on the coffee table.
Old Master Ning Jiacheng instantly understood. Is it true? A single phone call will tell me!
But the old man was so overcome with emotion that his hands were shaking uncontrollably. He managed to grab his phone, but his trembling fingers couldn’t open the contact list. A violent tremor caused the phone to slip from his grasp, and it clattered to the floor, the screen going dark.
Although wealthy, Old Master Ning Jiacheng was a sentimental man who cherished old things. The phone wasn’t even a smartphone; he had used the old model for many years. The fall was enough to make it shut down completely.
Seeing his phone was dead, Old Master Ning Jiacheng shakily stood up and started for the door, intending to ask the attendants waiting outside to make the call for him.
But Xia Liang just smiled and gently guided the old man back to the sofa. "There’s no need to rush, Old Master Ning," he said slowly. "Your phone may be broken, but someone will be here shortly with the news you’re waiting for."
He glanced at Wu Tong, who immediately stepped forward and poured a fresh cup of tea for the old man.
Downing the tea in one gulp, Old Master Ning Jiacheng finally began to calm down. As he replayed the recent events in his mind, he realized he had lost his composure and hurriedly apologized to Xia Liang.
"I lost my composure just now. I hope Master Xia won’t take offense," he said. "I have done nothing but dream of my granddaughter waking up, which is why I became so agitated when you said she was all right."
"It’s no trouble." Xia Liang smiled faintly and glanced toward the door.
Having developed a keen sense of unspoken understanding with Xia Liang, Wu Tong immediately moved to open it.
