Chapter 394 - 394 Rescue!
394 Rescue!
He turned around and helped the old man up.
“Thank you.” The old man thanked Chen Yun. Then, he looked at the notebook in his hand and handed it to Chen Yun.
“What are you doing?” Chen Yun was shocked. He had seen this thing just now. From what he had heard just now, it should have been passed down from an old ancestor, but now, it was directly given to him.
Although he didn’t know what the old man was thinking, he didn’t take it.
“I can’t take this.”
After Chen Yun finished speaking, the old man’s stomach rumbled.
“Let’s go and eat something. Consider it my compensation for scaring you.”
The old man gulped and was about to refuse when he saw that Chen Yun had already walked to the front and quickly followed.
Chen Yun found a small restaurant near the alley.
“Come, don’t stand there.” Chen Yun waved his hand. The old man glanced at the lady boss standing at the side and sighed.
Chen Yun smiled bitterly and took out 200 yuan from his wallet and placed it on the table. “Boss, we want to order some food. Take the extra as a tip.”
The lady boss looked at the two red notes and her eyes lit up. She took the initiative to pull a stool for the old man. “Take a seat first. Wait a moment. The food will be served in a while.”
After a while, after the food was served, Chen Yun did not eat. After all, he had just fought the two men and was not hungry yet. He reached out and gestured to the old man.
The old man took a napkin from the side and spread it in front of him. Then, he took a sip of water and rinsed his mouth. He took the porridge and slowly drank it.
Oh?
Chen Yun looked at the old man’s expression. He did not expect the old man to be so slow and extraordinary even though he was so hungry. Moreover, he ate porridge first before eating meat dishes to nourish his stomach.
It was really not simple to have such a characterization. It seemed that he did not come from a small family previously.
Recalling his previous words, Chen Yun nodded.
In less than ten minutes, after the old man finished eating and drinking, he looked at Chen Yun’s sports car. “You’re very rich, right?”
Chen Yun smiled. “Not really.”
“Take a look at this.” The old man took out an item from his sleeve and carefully looked behind him. Seeing that the owner and lady boss of the small shop were far away, he carefully placed the thing in his hand on the table.
Was this a jade thumb ring?
“What’s written here? Horses are flying fast…”
Why were the first few words of the poem so familiar to Chen Yun? When he saw the last four words, Chen Yun’s eyes darkened.
“Is this the Qianlong Imperial Question? Is this the Qianlong Emperor’s ring?” Chen Yun exclaimed softly. Then, he looked at the old man. “What do you mean by this? Are you selling this ring to me?”
“Yes, I want money. I… I want to save my wife.” The old man looked at the ring in Chen Yun’s hand and choked. From his expression, it was as if he did not expect that he would one day have to rely on the ring left behind by his ancestors to raise money.
Looking at Chen Yun’s puzzled gaze, the old man said, “This is real. It’s an item of the Qianlong Emperor.”
“How much do you want?”
“I want 200,000… I want 150,000 yuan.” As the old man spoke, he lowered the price by another 50,000 yuan. Then, he looked at Chen Yun expectantly. “This is genuine. If you don’t believe me, we can find someone to take a look.”
Chen Yun weighed the thumb ring in his hand. To be honest, there were many thumb rings left behind by the Qing Dynasty. Among them, the Qianlong Emperor had the most thumb rings and was also the most valuable. In the past, a set of Qianlong thumb rings had been auctioned for ten million yuan. Even if he took one out, it would cost at least a million yuan.
However, the old man only wanted 150,000 yuan.
“I want to save my wife. She’s about to die.” The old man handed the book in his hand to Chen Yun. “I’ll give you this too. I don’t want the money. Come with me to the hospital and pay the hospital directly, okay?”
The old man did not dare to let Chen Yun give him money. He knew that if he had money and it was snatched away by those two wastrels, his last hope would be gone.
Chen Yun pondered for a moment.
“Alright.” He stood up and walked towards the hospital with the old man.
In the car, the old man was abnormally dispirited, like a frosted eggplant. Chen Yun looked at him and his eyes darted around before he handed over a small bottle in his pocket.
“You should always try this.”
Chen Yun smiled at the old man. This bottle was not filled with anything else, but the newly produced Heavenly Spirit Water. This time, Chen Yun wanted to do an experiment. He wanted to try what effect this Elimination Water would have on such an old man.
The old man looked at the water in his hand and did not ask any questions. He opened it and drank it in one gulp. The next moment, his eyes widened in disbelief.
Chen Yun also observed the changes in the old man.
After ten minutes.
The old man’s wrinkles had faded a lot, and his age spots seemed to be invisible. Furthermore his previously completely white hair now had a few strands of ink black hair. He looked like he had become younger by more than ten years.
So this was the powerful power of the Heavenly Spirit Water.
Chen Yun sighed in his heart. Although he felt good when he drank it previously, the change was not as obvious as the old man’s. After all, he was a young man and could not be compared to him.
“What is this?” The old man also felt the lightness of his body and asked.
“It’s a potion. It’s very expensive.”
Chen Yun was not lying. If such a thing was placed on the market, needless to say, just this bottle of concentrated water would be provided to high-ranking officials and nobles in various countries. It was even possible for a bottle to be sold for hundreds of millions.
The old man looked at Chen Yun with confusion in his eyes.
Who exactly was this person?
Although the old man did not know Chen Yun’s identity, he saw the temperament that a superior should have on Chen Yun. Moreover, this magical potion made the old man even more unable to guess Chen Yun’s identity. With his current experience, he still felt that Chen Yun was like a giant that he could only look up to.
When they arrived at the hospital, Chen Yun asked the old man to go up first. He went to pay the bill. However, when the old man arrived at the ward and was about to go in to see his wife, he was stopped.
“Why won’t you let me in? My family is inside.”
“This is a hospital, not a welfare institute. You owe us so much money and haven’t settled it. Before you pay off the debt, there’s no need to see your wife,” said a young doctor. He observed the old man and sneered. He fanned himself to prevent the old man’s smell from reaching his nose.
The old man’s eyes darkened. “Let me in! I want to go in!”
The old man was about to enter when the doctor pushed him away. “I said that you don’t have to enter until you’ve paid your debt.”
“That’s right, but there’s no difference whether you see your wife or not. The cancer cells are showing signs of spreading. She doesn’t have long to live,” muttered a young nurse beside him to the male doctor, making the old man feel as if he had been struck by lightning.
“What… what did you say?” The old man was stunned. “You’re lying! Didn’t she undergo chemotherapy so many times?!”
“I beg you to save my wife!”
