As Ning Yuque charged towards Ji Yunyue, everyone around remained still, their annoyance merely showing on their faces, but their hands did not move. This was because they all knew that among the women present, Ji Yunyue was the most difficult to provoke. The Saintess of the Witch God Hall! With a flick of her finger… no! With just a blink of her eyes, she could completely finish off this Ning Yuque. Who else could he have provoked, but Ji Yunyue? He was truly tired of living!
But at this moment, Elder Chen drew the military knife hanging from the head of the bed. The old man had just been diagnosed with late-stage liver cancer, but he was not completely without strength. With a clang! The military knife, with its cold glint, was instantly placed at Ning Yuque's neck!
"You brat, try to cause trouble here in front of Grandpa!" Elder Chen reprimanded coldly.
Ning Yuque immediately raised his hands high. "Don't, don't wave the knife, ah, my neck is cut, you, you be careful!"
He caved! This person completely caved in an instant. His demeanor was utterly ridiculous. For such a character to want to be a hooligan was simply an insult to hooligans!
"Get your people to get out!" Elder Chen commanded coldly. Majestic and domineering! The old veterans of the capital were not to be trifled with!
Seeing this, Ji Yunyue finally understood what Ling Feng had meant earlier! Indeed, Elder Chen was not someone to be bullied. However, treating the visitor this way would surely lead to retaliation, as one must cut the grass by the roots!
"Go, go, I'll tell them to leave! Hurry up and get out, scram!" Ning Yuque yelled repeatedly, only daring to vent his anger on the people around him at this moment!
Seeing that the patient had drawn a knife, and that Ning Yuque's neck was indeed bleeding, these medical personnel realized that this old man was no ordinary person! They hastily carried down the items they had just brought up! The butler beside them retreated to the side, waving his hands and saying, "No, Elder, don't be impulsive, our young master is just here to help you with good intentions!"
"Good intentions? Grandpa doesn't need them! Grandpa's place is filled with the smell of old things. You beasts and brats can't stand it, so get out!" Elder Chen cursed angrily. Anger harms the liver! It was true that Elder Chen's vision was blurring, and he couldn't control the strength in his hands! Therefore, Ning Yuque heard the sound of his flesh being cut and felt the pain! He actually knelt on the ground!
"Hey, hey, Elder, don't, don't wave the knife, I'll get out of here immediately, I'll get out of here right away!" Elder Chen had never seen such a cowardly man. He disdainfully withdrew his military knife. "Scram!"
Ning Yuque then got up from the ground, glared back at Chen Jiaojiao, and quickly rushed downstairs with his butler. As soon as the hurried footsteps faded, he heard Ning Yuque's venomous curses from downstairs!
"Chen Jiaojiao, you wait for me, and you bastards inside, you old man, you wait, I'll make you kneel at my feet and lick my shoes later!" The curses were extremely foul, and Elder Chen's face turned red. He lunged towards the window, intending to throw the flowerpot down to smash the little bastard below!
But Ling Feng stepped forward and stopped Elder Chen. "Elder Chen, anger harms the liver. You must restrain your temper and anxiety in the future. You've already suffered the anger, do you still want to lose this pot of flowers? Didn't you raise this flower for self-cultivation?"
As Ling Feng advised, Elder Chen quickly calmed down. He shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "Alas, my temper, it's been a lifetime, really..."
"Yes, your past indulgence in drinking, partying, and staying up late didn't cause too much damage to your liver. It's your fiery temper that's the problem. In old age, suppressing that temper is even more harmful to the liver. You need to learn to vent this anger!" Ling Feng's consultation was not yet over. The arrival of that Ning Yuque earlier was ill-timed and disgusted everyone.
However, for Ling Feng, this fellow's arrival was very timely. At least it allowed Elder Chen to understand the true cause of his illness! Only then could further diagnosis and treatment proceed!
"Okay, I understand. I will definitely restrain my arrogance and impatience in the future. I'm old, I can't stoop to the level of these little brats!" Elder Chen was very receptive to advice. A serious illness sometimes allows people to achieve great enlightenment. Things that have bothered them for a lifetime can be let go of in an instant!
"I'm sorry, Grandpa, that Ning Yuque... he used to harass me frequently at school. That person is very annoying, and he likes to cause trouble for people behind their backs! It's all my fault for letting him find his way here!" Chen Jiaojiao was also frightened by her grandfather's angry outburst and began to cry with guilt.
"Alas, how can this be your fault? That kind of scoundrel just likes to pick fights on purpose!" Elder Chen doted on his granddaughter immensely.
At this moment, footsteps were heard from downstairs again. As everyone turned to look, they saw a group of people coming up, carrying baskets of vegetables, eggs, beef, lamb, and other nutritional supplements. They were all neighbors from this street!
"You, why have you all come?" Elder Chen was stunned. At this moment, he felt ashamed to meet everyone. What he least wanted was for everyone to know about this matter. It was as if he was truly at his end, but he still had half a year left!
"Elder Chen, you say, such a big matter, why didn't you inform us?"
"Wuwu, good people suffer many hardships, Grandpa Chen, how could you have fallen ill!"
"Hey, you woman, what are you crying for? What's the use of crying? Old man, I've stewed ginseng chicken soup, it's very nourishing. Drink some, it will surely help you feel better!"
"I have bone strengthening powder here..."
"Elder Chen, I brought you refined milk. I heard it's a very good supplement..."
The crowd crowded around, talking one after another, making the scene very lively. The others had long been accustomed to such scenes. However, Ji Yunyue was now squeezed to the window. Looking at the scene before her, she truly couldn't believe it. In her life, she had never seen so many people treat an old man so well! If people didn't know, they would think these were the old man's descendants!
"No wonder you said Elder Chen could handle that person earlier! With these people around, that person couldn't cause any trouble!" Ji Yunyue looked back at Ling Feng, a smile appearing on her face.
Ling Feng nodded slightly. "Elder Chen is the boss of this street, and also a great benefactor here. He is a very respected person locally. In his youth, he had iron-blooded means. Now that he's old, his temper has mellowed considerably, otherwise, that kid's head would have already rolled!"
Ji Yunyue smiled and nodded. She fully believed that the young Elder Chen was definitely capable of beheading people. However, for the elderly Elder Chen now, with the care of such neighbors, this was truly living a life without regret! With these neighbors, like family, even if the old man died, he would die without regret!
"Look, what are you all doing? I, I'm fine..." Elder Chen's nose was already sore, and tears were about to well up.
At this moment, a voice called from downstairs: "Chen Jiaojiao, get out here, or I'll set fire to the old man's shop right now!"
