~7 min read 1,273 words

"But I can tell, Elder Sister seems unhappy." Mengmeng looked at her sister and lowered her head: "Elder Sister, I'm sorry, I've implicated you."

"What silly things are you saying? You are my favorite younger sister." Zhou Yuqing hurriedly embraced her and said: "With you here, Elder Sister has the motivation to keep living. If even you were gone, Elder Sister would follow you."

"But my body cannot recover. Elder Sister, don't worry about me anymore. Leave Jinling and start a new life." Mengmeng shed tears: "If things go on like this, you will collapse sooner or later."

"Mengmeng, don't be like this. We only have each other. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even find the meaning in living in this world." Zhou Yuqing's tears fell: "I hate myself for being incompetent, unable to avenge Mom, Dad, Grandpa, Grandma, and Uncle and Aunt."

"If you were gone, perhaps I would choose an extreme path, to perish together with those people. Even if I couldn't kill them, I would still peel a layer of skin off them." Zhou Yuqing's appearance was delicate, but the words she spoke were not weak in the slightest.

"Elder Sister, don't take such an extreme path. I promise you, I will definitely live well. I will also work hard to exercise and let myself recover quickly. Later, we will leave this place and live a good life." The sensible Mengmeng hurriedly hugged her sister, her expression sorrowful as she spoke.

"Good, then it's a deal, we will work hard to live." On Zhou Yuqing's face, a hint of a smile gradually widened.

Just at this moment, a knock on the door sounded outside the ward. Zhou Yuqing thought it was the Yisheng, so she turned to open the door. The moment she opened it, her expression could not help but pause slightly.

The person entering was not the Yisheng, but the man she had just rescued at the bar.

Zhou Yuqing vaguely felt a trace of unease, because the group of people who wiped out her Zhou Family six years ago also possessed special abilities. Their strength was very high, and the Zhou Family's bodyguards could not stop them at all.

Just now, Chen Yu had instantly knocked down dozens of people by himself, which made her feel uneasy in her heart, because Chen Yu was truly too similar to those people. She worried that it was that group from six years ago who had come knocking again.

"What are you doing?" Zhou Yuqing looked at Chen Yu vigilantly. Her hand involuntarily grabbed her younger sister, her expression tense.

"Miss Zhou, I don't have any other intentions." Chen Yu spread his hands to show he had no malice: "I am just here to help you."

"Elder Sister, who is he?" Mengmeng felt her sister's tension and turned her head to look at Chen Yu.

"She—she is a friend of Elder Sister's, a Yisheng, here to check on your condition." Zhou Yuqing steadied herself and said.

"Oh, hello, I am Mengmeng." Mengmeng smiled at Chen Yu.

"Hello, my name is Chen Yu. I am your sister's friend, and I am a Yisheng. May I check your condition now?" Chen Yu smiled at her and said in a friendly manner.

"Yes, thank you." Mengmeng gave a sweet smile.

Chen Yu walked forward and reached out to place his hand on Mengmeng's pulse.

"Are you a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine?" Mengmeng looked at Chen Yu curiously.

"Yes, I am a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine." Chen Yu nodded.

"Can Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnose illnesses without looking at test results?" Mengmeng laughed.

She usually lived in the ward and didn't have many people to interact with. Being innocent and naive, she liked talking to people, so whenever someone came, she had a lot to say.

"Yes, Traditional Chinese Medicine uses looking, listening, asking, and pulse-taking to accurately diagnose a person's illness, though this requires an experienced old practitioner." Chen Yu finished checking one hand and then placed his hand on her other one.

"How is it?" Zhou Yuqing, who was on the side, was somewhat nervous, but she still couldn't help asking. No matter what, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, she would not give up.

"I already understand Mengmeng's situation. Let's go outside to talk." Chen Yu let go of Mengmeng's wrist and said.

"Okay." Zhou Yuqing nodded and followed Chen Yu outside.

"Mengmeng's condition is caused by excessive fright. The fright injured her five viscera and affected her meridians. The root cause is fear resulting from the fright, which led to the paralysis," Chen Yu said.

"Then, is there a way to cure it?" Zhou Yuqing looked at Chen Yu and asked with trepidation.

"Yes, but the prerequisite is that you must trust me." Chen Yu looked at Zhou Yuqing and said: "Actually, I know your real name is Zhou Yuqing, the daughter of the former richest man in Jinling, Zhou Zhangyuan. Six years ago, the Zhou Clan Group was framed by competitors, and then sixteen members of the family were brutally slaughtered. This case remains an unsolved mystery to this day."

"Who exactly are you?" Zhou Yuqing suddenly raised her head. She involuntarily took a step back, looking at Chen Yu with some terror.

"Our sisters have already fallen to this point, can you just let us go? We have no ability to seek revenge, and we have never even thought about it. I will take my sister away now, leave Jinling, and never come back." Zhou Yuqing's tears fell in streams.

"Don't misunderstand, I am not one of them." Chen Yu hurriedly explained: "Let's put it this way: this case is an unsolved mystery, and it involves martial arts world forces. I was sent from above to investigate this matter."

"Investigating this matter? You—who are you? Are you a police officer?" Zhou Yuqing was shocked; she looked at Chen Yu in disbelief.

After the incident at home, the Zhou Family's connections collapsed instantly. She ran to many places and looked for many people, but almost no one dared to see her.

Moreover, the police station also handled the case perfunctorily, eventually labeling it an unsolved mystery, and no one had mentioned it in all these years. Now that someone suddenly claimed to be an official and here to investigate, she found it hard to believe.

"I am not a police officer, but my authority allows me to mobilize the Jinling military. Ordinary people cannot handle this matter." Chen Yu said: "I just arrived in Jinling today. Because you have been constantly changing your name and address over the years, I am still having people look for where you are."

"I also didn't expect to meet you by the Qinhuai River. Perhaps this is fate."

Zhou Yuqing looked at Chen Yu and remained in Silence for a long time without speaking. Truthfully, she didn't know if she should believe Chen Yu.

"My family's affair was not as simple as competitors. There was a special force involved behind the scenes." Gritting her teeth, Zhou Yuqing spat out a sentence.

"Hidden Sect, Tiance Sword Mansion." Chen Yu spat out the eight characters.

"You know?" Zhou Yuqing was shocked. Only then did she begin to look at Chen Yu seriously.

Yes, on the surface, this matter was suspected to be the Pei Family, but in fact, anyone with a little bit of standing in the circle knew that there was intervention from martial arts world forces. Otherwise, based on the Pei Family's strength at the time, they could not have moved against the Zhou Family at all.
