Chapter 9
Fade Chen and Xenia Xu roamed around the shopping mall and after buying what Fade Chen wanted, they ate hotpot and were ready to go home.
Just as they were on their way to the mall entrance, there was a sudden commotion and people were shouting for help.
Their expression changed instantly. Fade Chen and Xenia Xu then proceeded to walk over to the source of the noise. When they arrived there, a grey-haired old man in his sixties was lying on the ground. His cheeks were red and his brows were furrowed. His breathing was too rapid to be considered normal. It looked like he was in severe pain. novelbin
Staying by the side of the old man was a young man in his early twenties, who looked very anxious and at loss. The young man could only repeat a few words like a broken record, "Sir, what's wrong with you? Sir, wake up."
The onlookers around the young man reminded him, "Call the ambulance."
Thanks to the reminder from the crowd, the young man hurriedly took out his mobile phone and made an emergency call.
Though the phone call had already been made, the old man was still lying on the floor. The old man was breathing rapidly. His eyes were even rolled to the back of his head. Looking at the condition he was in, he wouldn't be able to hold on further. The crowd around him were all feeling very anxious, but there's nothing they could help with.
At this moment, Xenia Xu rushed out and said, "Get out of the way, I'm a doctor." Upon hearing this, everyone quickly made way. The young man looked at Xenia Xu and shouted, "Hurry up, please save my grandfather. You must save him."
Xenia Xu didn't say much. She leaned over to the old man, lifted the old man's eyelids, and then quickly began to carry out CPR for the old man.
On the other side, Fade Chen also squatted down and quietly checked the old man's pulse.
The old man's condition didn't seem to improve regardless of the emergency medical procedure done by Xenia Xu. In fact, his condition became worse. His breath gradually slowed down. The old man's face also became paler by every second.
Looking at the situation, the young man became anxious. He grasped Xenia Xu and glared at her, shouting, "What did you do? Why is my grandpa getting worse?"
"He is in a critical condition. I, I've already done my best, but -" Xenia Xu tried her best to explain.
However, the young man was too agitated to listen, "What do you mean by trying your best? You are definitely a fake, you don't know anything. You are the one who hurt my grandfather, and I will make you pay for it."
"I..." Xenia Xu was anxious and angry. She wanted to explain herself but the young man would not listen to Xenia Xu's explanation at all. Instead, he shouted at her.
Right then, a slap landed on the young man's face and he was stunned.
For a moment, the young man could only look at the man who slapped him. Then, his facial expression changed drastically. He said angrily, "How dare you slap me? Both of you are on the same side. You are not here to save my grandfather, but to harm him. I want to call the police. I want to arrest all of you!"
As the young man shouted, he reached out, trying to grab Fade Chen.
Fade Chen slapped the man's face again and shouted angrily, "Your grandfather is still alive.
"However, if you delay the time I have to treat him, your grandfather will die," Fade Chen continued.
"You, you -" The young man held his face and looked at Fade Chen.
Fade Chen glared at him fiercely, then continued to lean down to get closer to the old man. Fade Chen took out the silver needles he had always carried around with him and began to carry out acupuncture.
The onlookers couldn't help but to discuss about the current situation.
"This young man is a traditional Chinese medicine doctor?"
"He is such a young doctor. Is he reliable?"
"I don't think so. Isn't traditional Chinese medicine doctor normally elder people?"
"Do they have the skills? What if the ambulance hasn't arrived, but these two young people have already treated the old man to death?"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The young man on the side was clearly shook up from the discussions of the crowd and had doubts about Fade Chen. However, he did not dare to stop Fade Chen at this moment, so he could only watch quietly.
A few minutes later, just when the sirens of the ambulance were heard coming from the outside of the mall, Fade Chen pulled out the silver needles on the old man's body. The old man who almost fainted, exhaled sharply and coughed. He then sat up from the ground and opened his eyes. He was safe!
The young man was extremely relieved and immediately came over, "Grandpa, you're all right. Grandpa, you-"
The old man glared at the young man, and then looked at Fade Chen and Xenia Xu with gratitude, "The both of you, thank you for saving my life. If it weren't for you, I would've probably be a goner today."
"Grandpa, how do you know?" Before Fade Chen and Xenia Xu managed to say anything, the young man voiced out his confusion.
The old man glared at him and said, "I am still conscious, just couldn't speak. He is my life saviour. What were you doing at that time? You even wanted to call the police to arrest him. You'd better apologize to both of my life saviours."
"Yes, grandpa, I will apologize immediately." The young man nodded, and quickly bowed to Fade Chen and Xenia Xu for apology.
They waved their hands, indicating that it was fine.
Just then, the medical staff from the ambulance came in with a stretcher.
Although the old man said that he was fine, his grandson insisted on making the old man still making a trip to the hospital for a check-up.
When the old man was about to get into the ambulance, he suddenly remembered something and gave Fade Chen a business card, "Young man, this is my contact number. If you need anything, you can call me any time."
After bidding the old man goodbye, Fade Chen looked at the business card in his hand.
The business card was very simple, with only a name and a phone number printed on it. There was nothing fancy "Harry Xu." The name rolled off Fade Chen's tongue before he put the name card away.
Later, they left for home. Fade Chen took Xenia Xu to the bus and went back home by himself.
When Fade Chen got home, Housekeeper Wong and Quin Lin were having dinner. As soon as Quin Lin saw Fade Chen, Housekeeper Wong quickly got up and said, "Sir, you're back. Come and sit down. I'll serve you dinner."
"Antie Wong, don't bother. I have already eaten before I came back." Fade Chen said.
"Ah, you've eaten?" Housekeeper Wong said in surprise.
Quin Lin, on the other hand, was not as surprised. Quin Lin glanced at Fade Chen casually and asked, "Did you eat with Xenia Xu?"
"Yes. We bought some stuff at the mall, and then we had a meal together." Fade Chen replied, and then asked, "How did you know?"
For an unknown reason, Quin Lin felt a surge of anger and annoyance. Instantly. Quin Lin lost her appetite. She slapped her chopsticks down and went upstairs straight. "I'm full" Quin Lin coldly said.
"What, what's wrong with her?" Quin Lin's sudden change of mood surprised Fade Chen.
Housekeeper Wong glanced at Fade Chen, sighed and said, "Sir, what is happening between the both of you?"
Housekeeper Wong wanted to ask about their relationship, but then she remembered Quin Lin's personality, so she waved her hand and said, "Sir, just forget what I said."
