Chapter 78: Critical Illness

  Ye Mengying had another sleepless night, ever since Xia Tian left yesterday, she has been staying by her grandfather's side, afraid that if she leaves, someone will secretly harm him again.

  It wasn't until the wee hours of the morning that she finally rested for a bit on the edge of the bed, and when she woke up at dawn, she found that her grandfather's condition seemed to be not quite right. She quickly called over the hospital nurses and doctors, who examined him and said that his condition was still deteriorating. If things continued like this, he wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.

  Ye Mengying didn't have time to think about it, and immediately called Xia Tian. Xia Tian had once awakened her grandfather, which was something no other doctor could do before. Until now, she still felt that only Xia Tian might be able to wake up her grandfather again.

  When Xia Tian and Liu Meng arrived at Sacred Heart Hospital, it was only 7 o'clock in the morning. This time, there were not many people in the ward, except for Ye Mengying, there was only one nurse attending to her. However, in the corridor, there were a few people who seemed to be walking around casually, observing every passerby with their keen eyes.

  "Summer, quickly go and take a look at Grandfather, what's wrong with him?" As soon as she saw Summer, Ye Mengying anxiously said.

  Summer didn't waste any words, and first went to take Ye Tian Nan's pulse. As soon as he took his pulse, his eyebrows furrowed, the situation was a bit beyond his expectations. Originally, he thought that he had preserved Ye Tian Nan's last thread of life yesterday, allowing him to hold on for a while longer. But he discovered that he had underestimated the person who had attacked Ye Tian Nan. His acupuncture treatment yesterday hadn't completely preserved Ye Tian Nan's remaining spiritual energy; in fact, it was still slowly draining away.

  At this rate, Ye Tian Nan might not even last a week, and it's possible he'll only live for three more days. After all, he was truly too old, and dying of old age is the natural order of things, something that can't be changed by human power. If you want to change that, then you're going against heaven itself.

  "Is the situation very serious?" Ye Mengying found that Xia Tian had put away his usual smile and his expression became solemn, and he immediately felt that something was wrong, so he asked a little urgently.

  "That old turtle is a lot tougher than I thought." Xia Tian felt a bit embarrassed, "Beautiful sister, I thought your grandfather could live for about ten more days yesterday, but it seems his condition is indeed getting worse. At this rate, he might only have three days left."

  "Three days?" Ye Mengying's face suddenly turned extremely pale, she abruptly grabbed Xia Tian's hand, "Xia Tian, you must have a way, right? You help me, as long as Grandpa can be saved, I'll agree to anything you want!"

  If it were usual, in summer he would be very happy to hear that a beautiful woman was willing to accept any condition from him, but now, he couldn't be happy because he really had no way.

  "You little scamp, don't you have any solution at all?" asked Liu Meng beside him.

  Xia Tian glanced at Liu Meng, was he really going to try that method? That method had a certain degree of risk, not to mention it wasn't guaranteed to succeed. Although Second Master often said men should be daring and take risks, Xia Tian still thought that if possible, it's best not to take unnecessary risks.

  "Summer, you actually have a way, right?" Ye Mengying was very clever and saw that Summer was hesitating, so she guessed that he might have a solution, but hadn't decided whether to help her or not.

  "Beautiful sister, actually can't say there's a way..." Xia Tian scratched his head, he was still in a dilemma, whether to use that method or not?

  "In the summer, the best person in this world to me is my grandfather. However, over the years, I have been intentionally keeping a distance from him because I didn't want to fight with my siblings over inheritance. During the few years when he needed me most, I wasn't by his side... I really regret it...

  Tears welled up in her eyes, Ye Mengying choked back sobs, "I just hope Grandfather can live for a little while longer, even if it's just half a month or a month. I hope he can wake up and I can accompany him to chat and talk. Otherwise, I will not be at peace for the rest of my life."

  Seeing Ye Mengying so heartbroken, Xia Tian couldn't help but feel a little sympathy. After some thought, he said: "Beautiful sister, I can try, however..."

  "In summer, as long as you can save my grandfather, I will definitely agree to anything!" Ye Mengying said hastily.

  "Beautiful sister, I didn't mean it that way." Xia Tian could only explain, "I have a method that might save your grandfather, but I'm not entirely sure, so I need to tell you first. Moreover, this is my last resort. If this fails, then I'll really be completely out of options."

  "In summer, as long as you've tried your best, it's alright, even if Grandpa really can't be saved, I won't blame you." Yè Méngyīng said with gritted teeth.

  "Also, this time is different from before. When I'm treating the illness, no one can disturb me. Hmm, I need a completely safe place." Xia Tian said after thinking for a moment.

  "No problem, I'll let Big Brother arrange it." Ye Mengying said as she picked up her phone and dialed Ye Shaohuang's number.

  "Ye Shao, you're so bad......hmm......" Hearing the soft hum of the doll in his arms, Ye Shaojie was very satisfied. As the saying goes, when people encounter happy events, their spirits are refreshed. Lately, Ye Shaojie had encountered many happy events.

  The first of the four young masters of Jiang Hai, Gao Mingyang, has been taught a lesson. This is a happy event for him, as he no longer needs to look at Gao Mingyang's face to do things. At least now, Gao Mingyang has lost face and can't show his face to them anymore.

  Yesterday, he finally used his ring to pick up a beautiful woman again. This beauty has a good figure and is even better in bed, serving him very satisfactorily. For him, this is also a happy event. You know, it's already halfway through the month, and his ring's technique for picking up chicks has only succeeded once.

  But for him, the greatest joy was that he received news that the old man was completely finished and would be gone in a few days.

  This old man was naturally his grandfather Ye Tian Nan. Originally, for most people, the death of a close grandfather is not a joyful event, but for Ye Shaojie, this was indeed a great joy. The reason was simple: as long as the old man died, the vast family business of the Ye family would ultimately fall into his hands.

  Among the three big families of Jiang Hai, the Ye family has the most money, but the Ye family does not have a strong person in the political circle, so in terms of power, the Ye family is still inferior to the Qiao family. Ye Tian Nan had three sons, Ye Zhiyi was second, Ye Zhiyi had two sons and one daughter, Ye Shaojie was also second. Originally, according to reason, this industry of the Ye family should not have fallen into Ye Shaojie's hands, but now the fact is that as soon as Ye Tian Nan dies, Ye Shaojie will quickly take actual control of these industries.

  The money the Ye family has now, strictly speaking, all belongs to Ye Tian Nan. His three sons are in charge of some companies, but they are just managing on behalf of others, and the shares have always been controlled by Ye Tian Nan. However, Ye Tian Nan is not satisfied with his three sons' business abilities, so he has never really handed over the industry to them. Everyone in the Ye family knows that Ye Tian Nan is most satisfied with his granddaughter, Ye Mengying, and wants to hand everything over to her to manage.

  Unfortunately, Ye Mengying attached too much importance to family ties and did not want to break with her family, so she took the initiative to leave the whirlpool, went far away to Xing City, and started a small company on her own.

  Ye Shaojie's most dreaded opponent was actually this cousin, but he thought himself lucky that the old man had not had time to make a will before falling into a coma in his sickbed. Without a will, the property would not go to this cousin to inherit, and he would have no opponent.

  Now, the old man is finally going to die without a will, and his property will be inherited by his three sons. However, over the years, he has secretly controlled them through his painstaking efforts. As a result, soon he will actually control the entire Tian Nan Group, all of Ye's family assets, which can be called upon at any time. He is the real billionaire!

  "I, Ye Shaojie, am the true number one young master of Jianghai!" Ye Shaojie rubbed the proud twin peaks in his arms, feeling very pleased with himself.

  The mobile phone ringtone broke Ye Shaojie's beautiful dream at this time, Ye Shaojie took the mobile phone, took a look, and his eyebrows involuntarily locked up.

  "What's going on?" Ye Shaojie asked with a very unpleasant tone.

  "Ye Shao, your elder sister has taken your grandfather away from Sacred Heart Hospital." The voice on the other end of the phone sounded a bit urgent.

  "What?" Ye Shaojie's tone suddenly changed, "Where did they take him?"

  "They're still on the road, I'm following them. There are two cars protecting them in front and back, I can't get too close...". The voice on the phone suddenly changed, "Damn it, Ye Shao, they've entered the military compound, I won't be able to follow them anymore!"

  "Damn it, it's Ye Shaoxiong!" Ye Shaojie cursed furiously, all the good mood at this moment had been swept away!

  The military compound is indeed a very safe place, and this is also Ye Shaohuang's territory. Once here, the other members of the Ye family are powerless.

  After passing through several checkpoints, Ye Tian Nan was finally sent to a certain room. Xia Tian took a glance at the guards nearby and finally put his mind at ease. In this place, he should be safe.

  No, what he was most worried about in the summer wasn't others' safety, but his own safety. Because if someone were to make a move on him while he was treating Ye Tian Nan, then he would be in big trouble.

  "Yeh Da Ge, beautiful sister, you guys should go out too." Xia Tian said after settling everything.

  "Little rascal, am I going out?" asked Liu Meng.

  "You can't go out." Xia Tian looked at her, "You'll be needed later!"

  "Want me to help?" Liu Meng was a bit bewildered, while Ye Shao Xiong and Ye Meng Yin were also slightly surprised. What could this pretty little fairy possibly help with?

  "Summer nodded: "One needle lives, two needles die, three needles flesh white bone... The old man's situation is too bad, I can only take the risk of administering the third needle against heaven. However, with my current skills, I am still unable to use this needle. But if I borrow the power from your body, it may be possible to succeed."
