Reborn As Super Heiress

Capítulo 1871: Chapter 1774: A Surefire Profit

“My people have investigated that the last time Elder Qin from the Qin Family fell ill, he was staying at Yulong Mountain. It’s said that a team of experts was responsible for his treatment, which included Nie Dechang.”

“It was reportedly a critical condition, but not long after, the old man was discharged from the hospital, and now he’s lively and energetic, looking healthier than most men his age.”

“What’s strange is that when the old man was critically ill, Huo Sining also appeared at Yulong Mountain. And it’s said that this girl had a good relationship with Master Qin. Isn’t that quite a coincidence?”

Li Yongxin felt his throat turn a bit hoarse, and his voice dry:

“The story you’re telling sounds like something out of a novel script, too unreliable. If someone could cure cancer, they’d have been world-famous by now, crowned by everyone worldwide. It’s just too unbelievable.”

“However, what you just mentioned about the Lu Family, I do find somewhat credible. Although it’s speculation, all these coincidences coming together aren’t just coincidences. This girl might indeed have some special abilities.”

“My old man’s condition is at a critical point now. It can’t be delayed any longer. Since it’s a lost cause anyway, why not let this girl give it a shot? Maybe she’ll just miraculously hit the mark and cure him.”

Li Yongxin spoke as if he was nonchalant, as if he was genuinely just adopting a ‘give it a try’ attitude. But who knew how tumultuous his heart was inside, like a tornado stirring his once calm-as-a-dead-water heart lake into a stormy uproar.

If his friend’s investigation was all just speculation, then the series of checks done on his old man at the hospital were solid evidence.

Everything told him that this woman named Huo not only understood medicine but was also unfathomable!

Li Yongxin had a strong premonition that while others might not be able to cure his old man’s illness, this woman definitely could!

It was because of this strong intuition that Li Yongxin felt hope. So he hurriedly brought his brother and son to the hotel where Huo Sining was, in hopes of asking her to treat his old man’s illness.

Having agreed to the Li family’s request, Huo Sining was unaware that the Li family had privately arranged for an investigation on her overnight in the country.

But even if there was an investigation, Huo Sining wasn’t afraid. After she confessed all her secrets to Gu Xu, Gu Xu arranged for her affairs to be handled. Now anything that could be found out was just some irrelevant information that Gu Xu deemed okay for people to know, while any information that would arouse suspicion or even reveal Huo Sining’s identity and secrets was erased by Gu Xu.

Moreover, as Huo Sining is now a Major General in the military district, her information was closely protected and monitored due to her special status. If anyone recklessly continued to investigate her, it would quickly catch the attention of higher-ups. So generally, no one dared to go against the authorities, risking such huge danger to investigate her.

After casually packing a few things, Huo Sining said to the Li brothers and Li Jun, “Let’s go.”

Gu Xu rushed to catch a flight to New York, and as soon as he landed, he hurried to Huo Sining’s hotel, even buying flowers and bringing Bashu snacks, his wife’s favorite, hoping to give her a big surprise.

But to his dismay, he arrived at the hotel only to find it empty, his wife wasn’t in the hotel. A call revealed she had gone to the Li Family, treating the Li Family’s elder.

Gu Xu didn’t tell his wife he had come to New York, and since she seemed busy, she didn’t have time for him either. Gu Xu felt defeated, idly sitting on a sofa in the hotel lobby playing on his phone, his heart filled with countless grievances.

Huo Sining sensed something was off when she received Gu Xu’s call; his tone seemed somewhat strange. But she didn’t dwell on it, focusing instead on checking Li Changming’s condition. After some thought, she devised a specific treatment plan.

To avoid arousing more suspicion, Huo Sining had to treat the old man’s illness in a manner that seemed reasonable and wouldn’t attract too much attention, making it a considerable challenge for her.

“This old man’s illness is difficult to cure completely. Over 60% of his heart is diseased, his body is under heavy load, and he’s at an age where all his organ functions are declining. I can only do my best. But even if I can’t completely cure him, ensuring he lives another three to five years shouldn’t be a problem.”

After giving Li Changming half an hour of therapeutic treatment, seeing the old man fall asleep, Huo Sining finally stood up, stepped out of the room, and spoke to the anxiously waiting Li family members outside.

Li Yongxin felt a bit disappointed when he heard Huo Sining say she couldn’t cure it completely, but he quickly came to terms.

Other hospitals had predicted he wouldn’t last through the next year, with some giving a final deadline of three months. That’s why the Li Family was hastily organizing Master Li’s 69th birthday celebration so grandly; Li Yongxin and his brother were both worried their old man might not make it to his 70th birthday.

But now, Huo Sining had given them hope, even saying it wouldn’t be a problem to ensure their father could live another three to five years, which was a truly uplifting piece of news for the Li family.

Moreover, they all knew that doctors often spoke conservatively. Although Huo Sining said three to five years, hearing her confident and assured tone and seeing her determined eyes, Li Yongxin had an inkling that she might not be speaking the whole truth. Perhaps, after her treatment, the old man could live another seven or eight years, maybe even longer.

Of course, this was just Li Yongxin’s feeling. He naturally wouldn’t say it out loud. In any case, even just three more years was already borrowed time from Yama, and he had nothing to be dissatisfied with. Instead, he was filled with gratitude for Huo Sining.

Not everything in this world can be bought with money, like youth, health, and even more despairingly, life when it slips away like this.

Being able to exchange their connections to extend their old man’s life by three to five years was considered a steal by the Li brothers—a deal that couldn’t be more worthwhile!
