63: Chapter 63 Two Old Fools

At this moment, a middle-aged man in a suit walked over with a smile on his face.

"Old Master Li, you've arrived!"

"Uncle Fu, is my grandfather here?" Gu Mengmeng asked impatiently.

"The Old Master is playing chess with Old Master Liu. They just started; I will take you there!"

The group nodded and followed Uncle Fu into the manor.

Looking out, a massive lake appeared in the very center of the manor, with several villas built on the four corners of the lake, and a suspension bridge in the center connecting the villas from all directions.

The lake water was crystal clear, with a few ornamental fish swimming by from time to time, and a huge pavilion had been built in the center of the lake.

The group walked along the suspension bridge towards the pavilion in the center of the lake.

Before long, two old men wearing Zhongshan suits, who looked to be nearly 80 years old, appeared before them.

Upon seeing this, Li Zongrong was overjoyed.

"Elder Gus formal name, Liu Jun, you bastards are playing chess without calling me?"

Everyone's eyes widened in shock; they never expected that the esteemed Old Master Li would have such a side to him...

The two old men playing chess didn't even lift their heads upon hearing this. One of them retorted irritably, "Li Zongrong, your sportsmanship is terrible. Since I started playing chess with you, count how many boards you've flipped! You just can't handle losing!"

Li Zongrong's expression became a bit awkward upon hearing this.

"Ahem... Today, I brought a very impressive young man to help you treat your old injury."

As soon as these words were spoken, Old Master Gu's expression changed instantly.

"You old rascal! Trying to use me as a test subject again, aren't you? Count how many masters and doctors you've brought me! Has there been any improvement at all?"

Li Zongrong said righteously, "I just want you to be free of pain and live a few more years!"

Upon hearing this, Old Master Gu's expression became even angrier.

"If that were true, it would be fine. Tell me, aren't you bringing all these people just to make me a test subject? Why don't you let them treat you first, and then bring them over once you're cured?"

"Every time I pay so much in medical fees, and it's useless. When are you going to reimburse me?"

Li Zongrong looked visibly embarrassed; he really hadn't been fair about that...

"Hahahaha..."

"That's hilarious. Old Master Li is using others to test medicines first, then trying them himself if they work. I have to say, this is a damn good method..."

"Old Master Gu: I really thank you so much!"

"In ancient times, eunuchs tested medicines for the Emperor; now, Old Master Li finds human tools!"

"This move is brilliant! Truly divine craftsmanship!"

"Old Master Gu is still alive, which just means he's lucky that Old Master Li hasn't found an alchemist yet..."

"Ahem..."

Li Zongrong coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment, then said with a serious face, "Elder Gus formal name, this time it's for real. He has already treated me, and I'm better now!"

Li Zongrong spun around on the spot to prove his physical condition.

Old Master Gu was taken aback.

"You really recovered? You're not pulling my leg, are you?"

"How could I?" Then, Li Zongrong told Old Master Gu about some of Qin Mo's feats.

Old Master Gu looked at Qin Mo with surprise.

He couldn't see any sign that this young man, who was only in his early twenties and just a bit handsome, had such skills...

Then, thinking of his previous experiences, Old Master Gu said firmly, "No! You old rascal, you've tricked me too many times. No matter what you say, I won't believe you again!"

"Grandfather, it's true. We saw it with our own eyes; my grandfather is really better now." Gu Mengmeng immediately urged.

"Mengmeng, I am your own grandfather. You can't side with outsiders! Tell me, how much did he pay you? I'll pay double!"

"Oh, Grandfather! What my grandfather said is true; he isn't lying to you. Just give it a try."

"No! I'm afraid that if I try, I'll die! I'm only eighty; I want to live a couple more years."

Looking at the stubborn Old Master Gu, Li Zongrong got angry too.

"Elder Gus formal name! I haven't beaten you in decades; is your skin itching again? Today, you are going to get treated whether you like it or not; it's not up to you!"

"Oh? Switching to threats now? I just happened to learn a set of grappling techniques recently. Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

At this moment, two men in their seventies or eighties were puffing out their cheeks and cursing each other, but neither dared to make a move.

This scene left everyone present dumbfounded; no one expected that the two old masters, who were usually full of dignity, could have such a side to them.

This contrast truly shocked everyone... As expected, men remain boys until they die...

"Dad, Old Master Li, what is this?" Just then, a puzzled voice came from behind.

Everyone instinctively looked towards the sound and saw a man with four stars on his shoulders walking over, staring at Li Zongrong and the other old man in shock.

"Dad!" Gu Mengmeng said with surprise.

Gu Jianan nodded with a smile.

"Jianan! You brat, you've come at just the right time! Hurry up and come over to help me pin down your father!" Li Zongrong said anxiously.

"Huh?" Gu Jianan was instantly stunned. What did that mean? I pin down my father?

"What are you still standing there for? Do you believe that I'll tell Zhenzhen later that you, you brat, don't listen to your father-in-law!"

"This... this..." Gu Jianan was completely dumbfounded... Seeing his father's fiery gaze, Gu Jianan didn't dare to move a muscle. He didn't even know what was happening...

"Hahahaha..."

"Filial! That's so filial!"

"It really doesn't matter how high-ranking an official you are; at home, one glare from your father makes you cower like a quail."

"It looks like the big boss didn't escape his father's beatings when he was a kid either!"

"That's nothing. I was beaten by my dad from childhood until I grew up. Now that my dad can barely walk, I'm a 1.9-meter tall muscle-bound man, but one glare from my dad makes me too scared to speak. It's psychological trauma, who understands?"

"As expected, a childhood without being beaten by family is incomplete, hahahaha..."

Seeing the two old men staring at him with fire in their eyes, Gu Jianan said sheepishly, "Um... Old Master Li, Dad! Whatever the matter is, let's sit down and talk it out. Please don't hurt yourselves."

"What do you mean? You little brat? Do you think your father is old? That I can't beat this old guy?" Old Master Gu pointed at Li Zongrong, his face full of anger.

The more Old Master Gu thought about it, the angrier he got, and even his look towards Gu Jianan became unfriendly. This made Gu Jianan shiver instantly.

"Dad... no, that's not what I meant..."

"Then what do you mean? Do you think your father-in-law can't beat this old guy?" Before Gu Jianan could finish, Li Zongrong interrupted him and pointed at Old Master Gu furiously.

"Uh... this..." Gu Jianan felt completely numb; he shouldn't have come... One was his father, the other was his father-in-law; he couldn't help either side...

"Hehe..." Seeing her father's helpless state, Gu Mengmeng couldn't help but giggle.

"Mengmeng, help your dad!" Gu Jianan finally noticed Gu Mengmeng nearby and couldn't help but seek help anxiously.

"Grandfather, Grandpa! Stop arguing. This time, my grandfather really came to help you. Besides, Qin Mo is my friend. Don't let his youth fool you; he has great skills."

Gu Mengmeng then told Old Master Gu everything she had seen and heard.

Old Master Gu's expression calmed down slightly, and he looked at Qin Mo with curiosity. He couldn't understand how a young man in his early twenties could have such great skills.

But looking at Li Zongrong, the old guy didn't seem to be lying. Perhaps it was worth a try; he had tried so many times anyway, the worst that could happen was another day of diarrhea.
