Chapter 1635

A few people were in the room, making idle small talk now and then.

The half-hour for the acupuncture quickly passed by.

Baili Xia removed the silver needles from the old man’s back and put them back into the needle pouch.

Feng Gang immediately brought over clothes, helped the old man sit up, and draped them over him.

“Xiaxia’s skills are indeed excellent; with so many silver needles on the body, I didn’t feel any pain at all.”

The old man looked at her and gave a gentle smile.

“It’s all thanks to my master’s good teaching,” Baili Xia dared not take the credit.

She looked at the old man, but he was no longer looking at her.

She thought she could discern something from his face, but in the end, she was disappointed.

Grandfather called her over, treated her to a meal and acupuncture, surely he had some purpose.

But now, he said nothing…

However, with Mu Xiaoyao here, he couldn’t say anything even if he wanted to.

Perhaps, the timing was just not right.

She turned to look at Mu Xiaoyao, who had already stood up and was looking at the old man.

“Well, Grandpa, Xiaxia and I will head back now.”

“Alright, wait until tomorrow…” Unexpectedly, before the old man could finish his sentence, his complexion suddenly changed completely.

From his eyebrows furrowing tightly to his face turning drastically pale, he suddenly opened his mouth, and with a “wah” sound, spat out a mouthful of congested blood.

The whole process took no more than two seconds, and the people in the room were caught completely off guard.

Baili Xia was the first to react, exclaiming in shock, and immediately moved toward him.

Feng Gang, being closest to the old man, seemed to be petrified upon seeing him vomit blood.

Upon seeing Baili Xia rushing to the old man, his expression changed, and instinctively he pushed her away with a palm.

“Feng Gang, what are you doing?” Mu Xiaoyao, quick-eyed and quick-handed, caught Baili Xia as she stumbled backward from Feng Gang’s push, nearly falling to the ground.

He took a big step forward and caught Baili Xia in his arms.

“Grandpa!” Baili Xia, anxious, tried to get to him immediately once she steadied her footing.

She only wanted to check what went wrong with the old man.

But Feng Gang’s gaze at her was as if he were guarding against a wolf.

“You…

what did you do to him?

What have you done to him?

Tell me, now!”

“I…

I only performed acupuncture.” Baili Xia was also bewildered.

There was absolutely no mistake in the acupuncture process; it was impossible for the old man to be harmed by her.

Could it be that the old man was poisoned again?

However, without Feng Gang allowing her to check him, it was difficult for her to determine.

Just by looking at the old man’s complexion, it did not resemble poisoning.

“Don’t come over,” Feng Gang, seeing her attempting to approach, immediately became vigilant.

Mu Xiaoyao also pulled Baili Xia back, turning to shout outside, “Call the doctor, quickly!”

With Feng Gang guarding against her like this, Baili Xia couldn’t examine the old man at all.

Now, with blood being vomited, there must truly be a problem.

Unexpectedly, the old man stood up with Feng Gang’s support, his cold gaze fixed on Baili Xia.

“Why…

why do you want to harm me?

What are you trying to do?

Are you trying to assassinate me?”

“How could I?” He’s her grandfather!

How could she want to harm her own grandfather?

“Grandpa…”

“I am not your grandfather, do not call me that!” The old man seemed deeply angered, his hand pointing at Baili Xia trembling.

“Sir, sir, don’t get angry.

The doctor will be here soon.”

Feng Gang, supporting the old man who could collapse at any moment, pleaded anxiously, “Sir, your health is important, please don’t get angry.”
