Chapter 18

The Ma family also did not expect things to develop to this point. For such an excellent company, the eldest uncle had actually decided to withdraw capital just for the sake of Master Lin's face, which made Ma Yuancheng furious, but he was unable to speak due to his illness.

In the silence, only Ma Yuancheng's intermittent coughing could be heard.

After a while, he was finally able to speak, questioning his eldest brother as to why he had made such a rash decision to withdraw capital, which would bring shame upon the Ma family in the capital circles.

But Ma Yuanfeng appeared unusually calm; he explained that the situation was not as it appeared on the surface, and appointed his third brother, Ma Yuancheng, to be in charge of the capital withdrawal.

Hearing this, Ma Yuancheng's expression changed immediately, unwilling to take on this disgraceful task.

Ma Yuanfeng felt very annoyed, realizing that no matter what he said, he could not change the younger generation's thoughts now.

Thus, he expressed his apologies to Lin Yu, and at this moment, Ma Qingxu stood up to accuse his eldest uncle of not apologizing to a swindler, believing that it was Lin Yu who caused the rupture in the cooperation with the Zhang Clan.

Someone even suggested pursuing Zhang Yuru to stop the Ma family from withdrawing capital. Facing such a situation, Ma Yuanfeng was furious, warning that anyone who dared to do so would be stripped of all their positions.

Unexpectedly, Ma Yuancheng stood up resolutely, stating that he was willing to go and bring President Zhang back. Ma Yuanfeng threatened that if he really did so, he would immediately strip him of his position.

Hearing this, Ma Yuancheng froze, clearly not expecting his eldest brother to react so extremely because of an outsider.

Just as he wanted to retort, he suddenly felt a sharp pain strike, followed by him spitting out a mouthful of black blood and fainting to the ground.

"Third Uncle!" "Dad!" The Ma family crowd fell into chaos, and the young people gathered around, but were at a loss.

Meanwhile, Xu Chen on the side was ecstatic; he saw that the moment to defeat Lin Yu had arrived.

If he could save Ma Yuancheng's life, that person would be a great benefactor to the Ma family.

Xu Chen stepped forward, his tone firm: "Everyone, rest assured. With me here, Third Uncle Ma will not be in any life-threatening danger."

Hearing this, the tense nerves of the Ma family members relaxed slightly.

Ma Yuanfeng was filled with regret; he should not have said those harsh words to his third brother, and hurriedly turned to Lin Yu to plead: "Master Lin, please, you must save my third brother."

However, before Lin Yu could respond, a group of young Ma family members had already surrounded him, among whom Ma Qingxu shouted angrily: "With Young Master Xu here, we don't need this swindler."

Other young people echoed, "That's right, Third Uncle becoming like this is all because of his fault!"

Someone even suggested teaching Lin Yu a lesson to avenge Third Uncle.

It looked like a conflict was about to break out.

Just then, Long Wu suddenly appeared in front of Lin Yu, causing that group of eager young people to stop their actions.

Ma Qingxu said with surprise and dissatisfaction: "Master Wu, are you also going to shield this swindler?"

Long Wu stood in front of Lin Yu without speaking, but inwardly he was sighing; he was not protecting Lin Yu, but rather protecting these ignorant people.

Lin Yu was a master of Xingyi Fist, and for such an expert, dealing with this group of inexperienced young people would be a mere trifle.

Seeing Long Wu's actions, although the Ma family's young people were gathered together, no one dared to act rashly.

They all knew that Long Wu had once been Ma Yueshang's bodyguard and held very high prestige.

Long Wu said to Lin Yu: "Long Wu asks you to save the Third Master."

Lin Yu had wanted to refuse, but facing the request of this Xingyi Fist senior, it was truly difficult to decline.

Just as the atmosphere was tense, Xu Chen began to take Ma Yuancheng's pulse and announced his diagnosis: "It's too late for anyone. Third Uncle Ma is suffering from a rare lung cancer. Usually, this disease is hard to detect early. If it weren't for meeting me, I'm afraid..."

Just as Xu Chen was describing the condition, Ma Yuancheng had actually already regained consciousness, but had briefly lost consciousness due to severe coughing. After hearing the news that he had a terminal illness, he fainted once again.

Xu Chen, while preparing silver needles for treatment, did not forget to take the opportunity to belittle Lin Yu: "If it weren't for him, Third Uncle Ma wouldn't be this seriously ill."

As soon as Lin Yu's words fell, the surrounding crowd instantly exploded, surrounding him tightly.

Long Wu, seeing this, helplessly retreated to the side. The Ma family members thought he was afraid, but in reality, Long Wu was inwardly cursing: This Xu Chen has simply ruined everything.

"Haha... haha..." Lin Yu suddenly burst into loud laughter, laughing until he could barely breathe. "You actually called allergic rhinitis lung cancer; it's absolutely absurd!" he mocked.

This remark was like adding fuel to the fire. Ma Yuanfeng felt that Lin Yu's words and actions were truly inappropriate, while Ma Qingxu took the opportunity to shout: "Still daring to spout nonsense, everyone attack together."

In an instant, the banquet hall was filled with angry shouting and chaotic sounds. Ma Yuanfeng wanted Long Wu to protect Lin Yu, but it was all too late. However, strangely, Lin Yu did not move an inch, yet those Ma family members rushing toward him fell one after another, as if they had hit an invisible wall.

The onlookers looked at each other, not knowing if it was real or fake; only Long Wu saw it clearly.

Lin Yu only needed to lightly tap with one finger to make the other party lose their ability to resist.

In just a short moment, the ground was covered with wailing people, and the scene was hair-raising. Long Wu was so shocked by this scene that he could not speak.

In the chaos, Lin Yu did not forget to give pointers to Xu Chen: "Wrong, this acupuncture point should be at the Tiantu Point, and the needle should be shallow."

Xu Chen's hand trembled slightly, almost following suit.

Ma Qingxu stood outside, both surprised by Lin Yu's ability and angrily saying: "You still dare to disturb Young Master Xu in saving people; do you want to kill my Third Uncle?"

"Damn swindler, hit him!" someone else shouted loudly.

Facing increasingly intense attacks, Lin Yu remained calm and composed; each time he just lightly tapped, the opponent would collapse powerlessly.

He clearly held back, after all, he had no deep-seated hatred with the Ma family.

"Wrong, the needle should be inserted at the Quewei Point, five-tenths deep, and rotated three times." Hearing this, Xu Chen was furious: "Who do you think you are? I refuse to listen to you!"

He inserted a needle into Ma Yuancheng's lower abdomen, but Ma Yuancheng did not wake up, and his complexion became even paler.

At this time, the banquet hall was in chaos; the Ma family members fell down again and again, and stood up again and again to continue charging. Although Lin Yu showed mercy, they were still in pain and crying out.

Lin Yu witnessed the moment Xu Chen inserted the needle, his heart tightened, and then he was filled with fury.

He quickly subdued a Ma family junior who wanted to approach and shouted sternly: "If you don't follow medical advice, he will lose his life!"

However, Xu Chen stubbornly retorted: "I am the son of the Medical Immortal, having been influenced by my father's healing and saving people since childhood; I will never make a mistake."

Before the words were finished, Xu Chen waved the silver needle again.

This time, Lin Yu was completely furious. He immediately subdued another Ma family junior and warned loudly: "This is simply murder!"

Just as Lin Yu's words fell, Ma Yuancheng, who had been unconscious, suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, which splashed onto Xu Chen's face, causing him to freeze on the spot.
