body temperature would return to normal, and she would regain consciousness. However, her physical condition would remain weak for more than half a year before recovering, which clearly differed signi...Chapter 372: The Song Family

Hearing this voice, Xiao Yu looked towards the couch.

In the living room on the sofa sat seven or eight elders. These elderly men looked very energetic and rosy-cheeked. They appeared to be in their seventies or eighties, but Xiao Yu felt that they didn't seem like people of that age.

To Xiao Yu's eyes, these elders were no different from ordinary seniors, yet he had a premonition that these elders weren't simple people.

Moreover, although they looked to be in their seventies or eighties, Xiao Yu felt vaguely that their actual ages should be much older than what they appeared!

"Who are you" After glancing at the seniors, Xiao Yu's gaze settled on the elder who had spoken.

"Third brother, this is my master!" Upon hearing Xiao Yu’s words, Zhang Dahan quickly stepped forward and said.

"Oh, hello Mr. Li! Thank you for your help; it saved me a lot of trouble!" When he heard Zhang Dahan's words, Xiao Yu was suddenly alarmed, looking at the Li Suiren sitting on the sofa and bowing to him respectfully.

Li Suiren nodded at Xiao Yu when he saw him. He had only guessed Xiao Yu’s identity through various information and hadn't confirmed it definitively; although there was no confirmation, he believed that he wouldn’t be wrong about this.

Furthermore, how many people in the world could make his dispatched individuals return empty-handed Probably only one person! It should be known that once a national machine starts to operate, it would be incredibly formidable. Even hidden deep-rooted families couldn't escape being investigated by them and finding out their background.

But as for Xiao Yu’s maternal grandfather, this man seemed like he didn’t exist in the world at all—no matter how hard he tried to investigate, there was no information about him. The investigators would only get a bit of gossip from street rumors unless they found something about Xiao Yu's maternal grandfather.

The more so it was thus, the more he believed that Xiao Yu was the successor to that person; if not for Xiao Yu’s large pot dish, he wouldn’t even think about this possibility.

He hadn't told anyone about this matter. In his eyes, Xiao Yu was still too young and needed further training, so he didn't want these old brothers to restrain themselves from finding Xiao Yu out of curiosity. As a result, no one knew about it, but naturally, he also knew that this couldn’t be kept secret for long.

Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, Li Suiren waved at him and said: "Brother Song’s illness…."

"I haven't seen the patient yet, I can’t make any promises. All I can say is that I will do my best!" Xiao Yu thought for a moment before saying.

"Nonsense! Let me tell you this: if you truly have the ability to save Old Song’s life, you must do so; otherwise, I’ll put a bullet in your head!" Just as Xiao Yu had finished speaking, an old man standing next to Li Sujun suddenly barked at him with bulging eyes.

Upon hearing this shout, Xiao Yu's expression turned cold. He twisted around and looked over, seeing that the speaker was also an elderly person. This elder was wearing a set of traditional military uniform, though it wasn’t new but well-kept.

Xiao Yu observed the appearance of this elder; although his hair and beard were white, he had obviously been meticulously groomed. Xiao Yu could still see that in his youth, he must have looked like an imposing Zhang Fei.

Though Xiao Yu understood their sentiments, he couldn’t tolerate them behaving in such a manner, constantly invoking their past authority by threatening to shoot people.

"Sir, remember this: first of all, I’m not your subordinate; secondly, I am just an ordinary citizen. Is this how the People’s Liberation Army speaks to civilians Or have you grown accustomed to power and become corrupt, able to casually take a life"

Xiao Yu said icily to the elder.

"You…!" Upon hearing Xiao Yu's mocking words, the old man suddenly stood up straight, pointing at Xiao Yu with his finger, his face turning red from anger. He was speechless and could not find a response.

"Alright... Alright... Old Zhang, let’s focus on treating Brother Song first!" Li Sujun intercepted the standing elderly person, saying.

Hearing Li Sujun's words, this elder shot Xiao Yu an intense glare before sitting down on the sofa with an aggrieved look. How many years had it been since someone dared to speak to him like that Hence, Xiao Yu’s words filled him with both anger and humiliation.

The other elders present were all watching the scene with amused expressions. Nowadays, not only young people but even some of the high-ranking officials in today's military wouldn't dare to speak so boldly to them! Yet Xiao Yu spoke without reservation, as if they didn’t exist.

Seeing how unbothered Xiao Yu was by their presence, the elders understood why he could act with such disregard when disabling Wang and Li’s sons. This Xiao Yu even dared to mock Old Zhang; what would a few young men matter They had no idea where his confidence came from.

Could it be because he knew he was Zhao Lingyun's son That seemed highly unlikely, as Zhao Lingyun was already deceased. Could he guarantee that others would help him Therefore, even these elders were clueless about Xiao Yu’s source of confidence.

The fact that Xiao Yu is Zhao Lingyun's son might still be a secret to most people, but for them—the elderly—this truth became clear when Song Hushan took responsibility for the incidents involving the Wang and Li families.

At the same time, they also thought about the enmity between the Wang and Zhao families, and they all showed a strange smile.

When Xiao Yu saw the old man sitting down, he stopped talking and turned to Song Hushan, saying, "Uncle Song, let's go!"

"Oh!" Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, Song Hushan came to his senses and hurriedly responded, then walked towards the second floor.

Neither Song Hushan nor Zhang Dahan or anyone else in the room had anticipated Xiao Yu's audacity. After hearing what Xiao Yu said, they all stared at him dumbfounded until Xiao Yu and Song Hushan went upstairs.

The moment Xiao Yu and his group disappeared upstairs, loud murmurs erupted inside the house.

After Xiao Yu and company went upstairs, several people from the Song family arrived. These elderly individuals all had white hair and beards, but due to limited space in the living room, some members of the Song family moved to an adjacent room; Yunxi, Zhou Ruoying, Wan Jiayi, and others also went into another room.

Upon arriving at the living room, these elderly individuals quickly approached the other elders sitting on the sofa.

"Old Tian, how is Old Song's condition" One of the elderly men bowed to an elder wearing glasses who was seated on the sofa and asked.

This man didn't even glance at Li Suiren who was sitting beside him; it seemed as though Li Suiren did not exist. However, Li Suiren paid no mind to this.

"Little Wang is also here! Old Song's condition is currently being treated, but I'm not quite sure how it's going," the elder named Tian said with a shake of his head after hearing the man’s words.

This elderly man was Grandpa Wang Jing, the patriarch of the Wang family who adopted Xiao Yu's father Zhao Lingyun.

At this moment, outside the compound wall, a medium-sized bus pulled up. Several doctors in white coats got off, led by a middle-aged man around fifty years old. They walked through the garden to arrive at the Song residence. These doctors were part of a health care team formed by the Ministry of Health.

Upon receiving orders, Li Changtian quickly brought some experts from the Great Hall and rushed towards the Song family’s house while leaving only a few people behind to manage things there.

The later-arriving elderly men sat on chairs that the staff had set up for them in the living room. They talked with the elders seated on the sofa, their eyes filled with deep concern as they occasionally glanced upstairs.

At this time, the doctors entered the house and saw the elderly people sitting there. Upon seeing these old folks, Li Changtian was startled, then immediately overjoyed; it was an opportunity to make a good impression!

"Li Changtian from the Health Department leading the expert team members here! Please give instructions!" Li Changtian hurried forward two steps and saluted the elderly people sitting on the sofa in a military manner.

Li Changtian had served in the army before, later transitioning to civilian life, gradually working his way up to become the Minister of Health.

"Hmm, take these experts upstairs and see if there's anything we can help with," Li Suigun sitting on the sofa nodded at Li Changtian and said.

Among the doctors present was Bai Jing. Originally, Li Changtian hadn't planned to include her in the team; however, when his secretary informed him of the events that occurred during their visit to Xiao Yu and what Song Hushan had mentioned, he decided at the last minute to bring Bai Jing along for coordination.

When coming to the Songs' residence, Li Changtian also brought her over.

After these doctors went upstairs, Li Suigun looked at the elderly people beside him and said, "Old Zhang, Old Tian, let's go up and see as well!"

Initially, they had no intention of going upstairs, fearing that their presence might disturb the medical care. But he realized that even their typically calm minds were now agitated by this situation, so staying downstairs wasn't much better.

The other elderly people also shared similar sentiments, hence agreeing with Li Suigun's suggestion wholeheartedly. They lamented how few of them remained from their old comrades and brothers.

Xiao Yu followed Song Hushan to the second floor. Upon entering, they found a large living room, and in one corner stood several elderly people before a room. These elderly individuals were all around seventy or eighty years old.

"Dad, Uncle, Third Uncle! This is Xiao Yu; he’s the one who treated Xiaoyu and Jiayi! I brought him here so that he can examine Grandpa!" After leading Xiao Yu to the room entrance, Song Hushan introduced him to the three elderly people standing there.

The three elderly individuals were indeed Song Hushan's father, his uncle, and his third uncle. Apart from Song Hushan's third uncle who was still in a high position, both his father and uncle had retired. They used to hold important positions which is why they waited outside the room.

Song Hushan feared that if they entered the room, the doctors attending on Old Song might hesitate to treat him aggressively out of respect for them, hence potentially delaying the treatment. Therefore, when these medical practitioners started their care, they withdrew from the room. (To be continued...)it because for him, that Tang family was an enormous force. Even if they were not direct descendants but rather peripheral members or those affiliated with the Tang lineage, they could easily crush hi...
