Chapter 848: Final Deadline
"However, before the treatment is finished, don't even think about standing up, and don't exert any force on your legs; you need complete rest."
Su Chen continued to solemnly instruct:
"Only after the treatment is done can you try to stand, and then slowly attempt to walk, just like a baby learning to walk."
"Alright, I got it."
Hearing that he would come every day for the next few days, Pei Man couldn't help but feel happy inside.
Immediately, Su Chen started to slowly massage Pei Man's legs. Since this was the first session, it naturally took a bit longer, considering that Pei Man hadn't used her legs for so long!
With Su Chen's continuous massage, Pei Man felt a slight warmth in her legs, which was very comfortable!
"Come in!"
After finishing the massage, Su Chen called out.
Pei Zhennan and Pei Jian heard the call and immediately pushed the door open and came in.
"How is she?"
Both of them asked in unison.
"No problem at all. As long as I come to massage her legs for an hour every day for the next few days, she'll be fine."
Su Chen said plainly.
"Thank you, Mr. Su! Thank you so much!"
Upon hearing this, Pei Zhennan spoke from the heart, tears involuntarily falling down his face.
"Su Chen, your great kindness goes beyond words; if you ever need anything from me in the future, just say the word!"
Pei Jian solemnly expressed.
"No need for such formality; it's merely lifting a finger for me."
Su Chen waved his hand dismissively.
For him, the treatment was indeed not difficult; the key was this Ghost Beard Grass.
For that, he still had to thank the young lady from Lingyue Palace!
"For you, Mr. Su, it may be a small matter, but for us, it's a great debt of gratitude!"
Pei Zhennan exclaimed.
Although Pei Zhennan's emotions were sincere, Su Chen still preferred Pei Jian's straightforwardness.
Su Chen then repeated the instructions he had given to Pei Man to Pei Zhennan and Pei Jian.
Both of them nodded repeatedly, remembering it well.
This concerned Pei Man's lifelong well-being; they dared not be careless!
After giving his instructions, Su Chen was about to leave, and Pei Jian escorted him to the gates of the courtyard.
"Then I'll be going."
Su Chen said with a smile.
"Wait."
Just as he was about to leave, Pei Jian called out.
"What's the matter?" Su Chen asked.
"You need to be wary of the Shen brothers, Shen Lin and Shen Shao."
Pei Jian looked at Su Chen and said:
"You cut off their path to become the Family Head; they may seek revenge!"
"Them?"
Su Chen sneered upon hearing this:
"If they don't know their place and insist on courting death, I don't mind sending them on their way."
"I know you don't take them seriously, but those two are devious and underhanded; you must be cautious!"
Pei Jian warned.
"Understood, thank you."
Su Chen thought for a moment, acknowledging that Pei Jian had a point, as the two were indeed like venomous snakes.
Shen Lin believed he was biding his time and hiding well, but in fact, he was always under Pei Jian and Pei Man's watchful eyes!
It's just that they hadn't exposed him, as there was no need; they preferred it that way!
In this regard, the Shen brothers were merely fooling themselves.
In terms of wit and strategy, they couldn't compare to Pei Jian and Pei Man!
If these two siblings were his enemies, he would really have to be extremely cautious!
Fortunately, they were friends, and they had a good relationship, even Pei Man...
"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on them for you."
Pei Jian patted him on the shoulder and said:
"I mentioned it just in case. I doubt they would be foolish enough to actually make a move against you."
"Thanks a lot."
Su Chen nodded; then, without further ceremony, he drove to the hospital to visit Du Hanbing.
Although Du Hanbing hadn't woken up yet, her complexion had improved, and her vitality, though not the same as before, had grown stronger. Even her wounds were gradually healing.
Seeing this, Su Chen felt relieved...
He stayed with Du Hanbing for two hours before heading back to the company.
On the way back to the company, he suddenly saw a massive poster on the wall of a high-end shopping mall!
It was an advertisement poster for Sara's concert, showing her passionately playing the violin in a white dress.
At the bottom of the poster, there was detailed information about the concert: New Year's Eve, Yandu Grand Theater!
"So, this little girl is really coming!"
Su Chen muttered to himself, a warm smile appearing on his face.
Last time, when this little girl called, she also inquired about Du Hanbing's condition. He couldn't bring himself to tell her the truth and ended up giving an evasive response.
He knew that this little girl also had deep feelings for Du Hanbing.
After all, back in Africa, after they rescued this little girl, Du Hanbing took care of her most of the time. Being a man, he naturally wasn't suitable for that.
Thinking of the twelve-year-old girl who cried in the corner of the ruins, covered in dirt, now grown into a globally renowned superstar, Su Chen felt a sense of pride and happiness for her!
He felt a moment of surreal nostalgia...
After lingering for a moment, he continued driving and returned to the company.
.....
Meanwhile, at Qimeng Tower.
Suddenly, a figure appeared silently outside Qi Meng's room on the third floor, then directly pushed open the door.
"Who is it!"
Hearing the door, Qi Meng immediately turned and shouted.
The person had silently appeared outside her room, yet she had not sensed a thing, indicating the visitor was a master!
However, upon seeing the cloak-like black robe, she immediately knelt on one knee and called out:
"Your Excellency, Messenger!"
"You seem very nervous."
The black-robed figure said in a hoarse voice.
"No, Your Excellency, I am just surprised by your sudden visit!"
Qi Meng hurriedly replied, her voice shaking.
"Surprised? Is that so?"
The black-robed figure teased.
"Yes, Your Excellency, I am greatly honored by your visit!"
Qi Meng steadied her mind and replied.
"Be it surprise or fright."
The black-robed figure said flatly:
"How is the matter proceeding?"
"I searched his villa but didn't find that cultivation technique."
Qi Meng lowered her head and said:
"Give me a little more time, I assure you I will find it!"
Of course, this was a premeditated excuse; she hadn't mentioned being captured and turned by Su Chen.
"Hehe, more time?"
Upon hearing this, the black-robed figure laughed sinisterly:
"The organization has already given you enough time!"
"Five days, you have five more days. If you fail again, you know the consequences."
The black-robed figure's voice suddenly turned ice-cold, exuding a murderous intent!
She wasn't worried about Qi Meng escaping because she knew there was no way to escape...
