Chapter 420: Lu Bailing's Illness Flares Up

~7 min read 1,314 words

Hua Yuerong said, "Head of the Lu Family, when your daughter gave that so-called Heirloom to my junior brother, the item already belonged to him. How he chooses to dispose of it is his right, and there is certainly no issue with him melting the Heirloom down now."

"But... but..."

Lu Guangwei wanted to say something more, but he did not know what to say.

"Head of the Lu Family, you are, at the very least, a powerful figure in our Minle City; don't make me look down on you," Hua Yuerong said, her tone intensifying.

Lu Guangwei was both angry and anxious, completely at a loss for what to do. It was at this moment that Lu Bailing suddenly revealed a look of pain, her body trembling as she collapsed toward the ground.

"Dad! Bailing is having an episode!" Lu Baihui exclaimed upon seeing this.

Lu Guangwei hurriedly supported Lu Bailing, but her eyes were tightly shut, her skin was flushed red all over, and the trembling of her body grew increasingly violent.

Lin Feng asked in confusion, "This... what is going on? What kind of illness does she have?"

"A strange illness," Lu Baihui said.

"Perhaps I can treat her," Lin Feng then said.

He could not return the item to Lu Guangwei, but treating his daughter was certainly something he could do.

Moreover, doing so could somewhat ease their relationship, and it could be considered a small form of compensation to the Lu Family.

Yet, to Lin Feng's utter surprise, Lu Guangwei refused without even thinking!

"No need, no need for you to intervene, Mr. Lin. Our family has the best doctors; I can just take her back for treatment!"

"Mr. Lin, we shall meet again!"

No sooner had Lu Guangwei finished speaking than he abruptly picked up the unconscious and uncontrollably trembling Lu Bailing and walked quickly toward the outside.

And Lu Baihui, of course, followed them as they left.

Hua Yuerong was completely bewildered, and Lin Feng was also utterly confused.

Lu Bailing's sudden episode appeared very strange; it looked like epilepsy, but it also seemed like it wasn't.

"I always feel like there is a problem here," Hua Yuerong said.

"Senior Sister, share your brilliant insights," Lin Feng said.

Hua Yuerong nodded and continued, "Lu Bailing is ill, so why did Lu Guangwei refuse your treatment without even thinking? Logically speaking, if one's own daughter is having an episode and there is a doctor on the scene, anyone would let that doctor try, right?"

"Whether it can be cured is another matter, but one shouldn't even deny the chance to try, so there must be something more to this."

Xiaoxue agreed wholeheartedly, saying, "Yes, yes, yes, I think so too."

"Then I will go to the Lu Family tonight to see Lu Bailing. Lu Bailing still trusts me quite a bit; she shouldn't hide anything from me," Lin Feng said.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Lin Feng said this, Hua Yuerong became jealous.

"Yes, yes, yes, you saved her, staging a scene of a hero saving a beauty; of course she trusts you. She probably wishes she could offer herself to you!" Hua Yuerong mocked.

"Senior Sister, are you itching for a beating? Don't forget, you can't beat me anymore," Lin Feng said with a stern face.

"Come on then, come on, try hitting me?" Hua Yuerong said very arrogantly.

Consequently, Lin Feng pinned Hua Yuerong onto the sofa and gave her bottom a few hard smacks.

After dinner, Hua Yuerong and Xiaoxue both went upstairs to rest.

Lin Feng, however, did not rest.

He left Hua Yuerong's luxury villa and hailed a taxi to head toward the Lu Family mansion.

Before long, Lin Feng had arrived outside the Lu Family mansion.

He saw that there were many bodyguards in suits walking back and forth in the very spacious courtyard of the Lu Family mansion; one didn't need to think to know they were patrolling.

With such tight security, an ordinary person could not sneak in at all.

But for Lin Feng, it was not difficult in the slightest.

Lin Feng restrained his aura, his figure gradually fading into the air, as if his body had suddenly become transparent, disappearing bit by bit.

After becoming completely hidden, Lin Feng channeled his True Qi and leaped high, vaulting over the courtyard wall and walking with long strides toward the central villa.

The bodyguards in the courtyard all looked right through Lin Feng; not a single one could discover him.

Upon reaching the central villa, Lin Feng used both his hands and feet, climbing and moving along the wall like a gecko.

Voices could be heard from a room nearby, so Lin Feng quietly crept closer.

This room was precisely the bedroom of Lu Guangwei and his wife, Chen Hanxiang.

"Bailing's condition is getting more and more serious; I suspect she won't be able to endure it if this continues," Chen Hanxiang said hesitantly, her expression full of worry.

Lu Guangwei said coldly, "She has to endure it even if she can't. She brought this upon herself; if she wants to blame someone, she should blame herself!"

"Stop saying angry things; what is the use of saying angry things? You must send people to invite doctors tomorrow, invite all those famous doctors and Divine Doctors over," Chen Hanxiang said angrily.

Lu Guangwei sighed, "This is something she has to quit on her own; others simply cannot help her."

"Whether they can help or not, we should try first!" Chen Hanxiang said.

"Fine, fine, fine, I will send people to invite those famous doctors and Divine Doctors tomorrow; I will certainly do my utmost to treat Bailing," Lu Guangwei said.

The expression on Chen Hanxiang's face became much better.

She touched Lu Guangwei's stubble-covered face and said again, "I know you are very dissatisfied with Bailing, but you don't think about why she became like this. You are too good to Baihui, yet so cold to Bailing; naturally, she would be very rebellious."

"Can you blame me? Baihui has been exceptionally intelligent since she was young. She is only eighteen this year and is already a graduate student, and she is also a practitioner in the scientific research industry. What does Bailing have to compare with her?"

"Besides, although I have never given her a pleasant look, I have never refused her when she wanted something. At least in terms of material things, I haven't shortchanged her!" Lu Guangwei said furiously.

Chen Hanxiang said with a bitter smile, "But it's not material things she wants; she just wants you to care about her more. She learned bad habits from bad company and acted recklessly outside, wasn't it all to attract your attention?"

"Enough, enough, say no more. The more you say, the angrier I get. Let's sleep."

No sooner had Lu Guangwei finished speaking than he turned off the lights in the room.

Consequently, the bedroom of Lu Guangwei and Chen Hanxiang became pitch black, and there was not a sound to be heard.

Lin Feng, on the wall outside the window, was left completely bewildered by what he had heard.

Quit? Quit what?

She brought this upon herself? What did that mean?

Lin Feng pondered for a moment, then continued crawling toward the next room.

Before long, Lin Feng had already checked several rooms; his luck was quite good, and he soon found Lu Bailing's bedroom.

Inside the bedroom, Lu Bailing was actually tied to the bed; the expression on her face was extremely painful, and her body was still trembling, but because she was bound tightly, she was completely unable to move.

There was not only Lu Bailing in the room, but also a female bodyguard wearing a black suit and a hip-hugging skirt.

This female bodyguard had a single ponytail at the back of her head, looking very refreshing.
