Chapter 436: Chapter 431 Yan Jinsu Shows Her Power for the First Time 15
——————
Wu Xuming brought Commander Wu Rong and his disfigured wife back to Rong Hospital in the county town X.
Indeed, Liu Dongzhu was disfigured.
Originally, Liu Dongzhu was slapped by Yan Jinsu, which Wu Xuming had witnessed himself. At the time, Liu Dongzhu’s face only swelled but bore no scars.
However, after Yan Jinsu left, it bizarrely began to decay, and no matter what medicine Wu Xuming used, it was ineffective. As he applied medicine, he also discovered that his cousin’s face was healing at an extremely fast rate!
Where it rotted, flesh grew rapidly—thus, Liu Dongzhu was certainly disfigured.
Therefore, their return journey was much slower than Yan Jinsu’s, considering they reached the county town X only at four in the morning the next day, as it was nearly dawn.
But Wu Xuming did not feel tired at all.
Instead, fueled by Yan Jinsu’s act of revenge on his cousin, Wu Xuming was enthusiastically researching. He had collected bacterium samples from his cousin’s face, not even slightly tired.
Meanwhile, Wu Family’s patriarch, along with Commander Wu Lao Rong, also personally visited Rong District in county town X.
After handing over Liu Dongzhu, who had fainted numerous times, to grandfather’s security officer, he went to arrange medical affairs for his cousin.
Accompanying the old man were Wu Xuming’s biological father, Wu Huaidang and Wu Xuqiang’s biological mother Song Cuiqin.
The biological mother came to protect her son, while the biological father came to study a new medicinal recipe with his son.
The group, including the security officers and guard team, rushed over. Right upon arrival at Rong Department, they learned about Xie Jingchen’s offering of the medicinal formula, which made Wu Family’s faces sour.
Despite feeling upset, Patriarch Wu first checked Wu Xuqiang’s current condition; his complexion was poor, but there was no further deterioration, which was considered a gain.
Song Cuiqin stayed behind to tend to her biological son, her expression filled with sorrow.
After reporting to Elder Wu, Wu Xuming and his father headed to another office to discuss an ancient Chinese medical formula that Xie Jingchen had proposed five hours earlier.
Although Yan Dongsheng was present, facing Commander Wu, Yan Dongsheng could only listen on the side. Old Master Yan, being just another military governor, couldn’t compare in status to Commander Wu.
Yan Dongsheng knew he still had no ability to confront the Wu Family; hearing that his daughter had returned safely, he sighed with relief but also felt suppressed.
In the end, it was his inability to protect his daughter who had been lost outside.
But for his son, depending on numerous colleagues from the Yan Family, he couldn’t provoke such a meaningless civil war that would exhaust the country’s military, only to benefit the Shantian Organization.
Most importantly, the Wu Family was a super-great clan even before the foundation of the nation. Whether in civil or resistance wars, Wu Family had always supported the national policy. Although many branches had been forgotten over the decades, by the time of Commander Wu, he was a genuinely skilled and experienced war veteran.
The Wu Family was fortunate to have his support, enabling them to stand firm for decades without falling. [Fictional Character]
Besides owning a vast traditional group of military officers, under Commander Wu, there was also a Rongwei Guard Team composed of retired military guards.
All the guards were soldiers retired due to battlefield injuries or illnesses. Wu Family funded their medical treatments, and in return, they served the Wu Family voluntarily for many years, and mostly, they were willing to serve their master.
This troop was not numerous, about three hundred men.
Moreover, a report had been filed to the central political bureau, and due to the high risk of Wu family’s male members dying on the battlefield or through vendettas, other than gun control, there were no objections [formality]. Of course, these were agreements reached privately.
As Commander Wu Rong was pre-designated to be the next Patriarch, in addition to having ten guards assigned to each legitimate son, he also had a private guard team reserved for the successor of the Patriarch. Therefore, when Liu Dongzhu, his legal wife, took over the management before he fell into a coma, this resulted in Liu Dongzhu having the power to support her when she was about to make a mistake.
As for firearms, Commander Wu Rong had a special status and was already entitled to bear arms. With their level of influence and status, privately owning one or two firearms was actually not too unusual.
Whether this was Commander Wu Rong’s own stratagem or a tacit approval by the Wu family, it is clear as day.
The traditional Chinese medicine prescription submitted by Xie Jingchen, after five hours of validation, was already ready for direct use. Due to Commander Wu Rong’s special status, his medicine was the first to be prepared.
However, compared to those ordinary patients who just discovered the epidemic and saw miraculous effects after only two doses, Commander Wu Rong’s condition was more severe and had been prolonged for too long, hence the effects were minimal.
After several verifications through data, Wu Xuming and his son returned and shook their heads in sigh, in front of the old master and elder sister-in-law—
Indicating that relying solely on this herbal concoction could at most extend Commander Wu Rong’s life by about a year, that too only if he stayed in bed.
If he woke up, it was estimated he wouldn’t last even half a month.
Wu Youbai paused in his actions, and then continued playing with a pair of small and exquisite caps made of red jade-like document cores in his hands.
"I knew it..." Song Cuiqin covered her face, murmuring in agony.
Dressed in a simple modified black and purple loose cheongsam, the obvious creases on her face, red and swollen eyes wet with tears, hair graying at the center, and an aged complexion made her look even more worn out and frail.
Song Cuiqin’s act of covering her face and murmuring, however, still revealed the demeanor of a highly cultured noble lady.
Over these past six months, she didn’t know how many times she had been disappointed—if it hadn’t been for her falling ill, Liu Dongzhu wouldn’t have had the chance to take her son from the hospital!
The ruckus now had utterly disgraced their Wu family! fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Had the situation not been dire, there wouldn’t have been a need for the old master to personally lift the spirit.
Yan Family? Unexpectedly, that Yan Family daughter cast out had no small measure of ability!
These thoughts crossed not only Song Cuiqin’s mind but also that of Wu Youbai and others.
"Grandfather, Yan Jinsu is quite capable; we must absolutely not confront her with force," Wu Xuming, adjusting the glasses on the bridge of his nose, asserted with his features resembling Wu Huaimin’s.
Standing together, father and son, apart from the difference in height, a stranger might at first glance think them to be twin brothers.
Due to Wu Huaimin’s long tenure in the laboratory, even in his forties, he still appeared youthful, further maintained by good care, while Wu Xuming seemed more mature, easily leading to some confusion at first sight.
"Oh?" Wu Youbai glanced at his grandson, "Explain your findings."
"Very clever, very brave, courageous, and scheming..." Yan Jinsu could keep her composure, seize the right moment to strike, trapping him and his sister-in-law, and still had the leisure to learn to drive on the fly to escape.
Together with her ultimate agility and powerful grip, she truly was extraordinary.
