90: Lin Xuan's complaints! Brother-in-law, are you trying to scare someone to death?!

“Oh no?!”

Su Fan jumped, immediately withdrew his gaze, and vanished into the shadows.

Thump-thump-thump!

Listening to the footsteps gradually approaching the room, Su Fan’s brows furrowed, and for a moment, he panicked.

If his presence were discovered, it would be impossible to explain in such a short time.

After all, he didn't want to reunite with his relatives… He looked around.

The room was small and open, with no place to hide.

Thump-thump-thump!

As the footsteps drew closer, Su Fan was suddenly caught between a rock and a hard place.

Fortunately, at that moment, a cat’s meow sounded.

“Meow meow~~~”

“Oh, it’s you, you naughty little one! Are you hungry? I’ll get you something to eat!”

Whew~~~

Looking through the crack in the door at Liu Juan’s retreating back as she held the cat, Su Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After waiting a moment longer, and hearing no further movement.

Su Fan quietly opened the door and quickly slipped up to the second floor… At this moment.

On the second floor of the villa, in a study.

“Manager Wang, tell the production department to increase the output of Beauty Pill. Produce as much as possible, and stockpile it all for now.”

“Oh, and remember not to let any information leak.”

After hanging up the phone!

Su Shengtian, dressed in a Zhongshan suit.

Took off his reading glasses and sat back on the sofa, looking a bit tired.

Long-term late nights and mental strain had deepened the wrinkles on his face.

However, even so, Su Shengtian’s eyes still sparkled with excitement.

Because he had already received news from his subordinates.

Recently, some people in Modu who had used the beauty cream began to experience symptoms of redness and itching on their faces… “Thanks to Xiao Xuan!”

“He not only saved the company from bankruptcy but also brought the Su Family a chance for rapid advancement.”

“Alas, I’m getting old. Lately, I’ve felt increasingly powerless.”

“It seems I need to hand over Su Corporation to Xiao Xuan as soon as possible…”

“…”

Su Shengtian chattered on, talking to himself.

What he didn’t notice was… behind him, out of his sight, a pair of eyes was staring at him through the window with a complex gaze.

Grandpa.

I’m back.

Looking at Su Shengtian’s completely white hair and aged face.

Su Fan’s heart ached, and an indescribable sadness welled up in his chest.

He couldn't imagine how his grandfather had endured these past few years.

He was at an age where he should have been enjoying his retirement.

Yet he had to suffer the tragic news of a white-haired person burying a black-haired person, and single-handedly prop up a company facing stormy seas.

How many difficulties and obstacles must he have faced in between?!

Putting everything else aside, Su Fan's discerning eye could tell… Su Shengtian was severely deficient in qi and blood, appearing at least seven or eight years older than his peers.

This was clearly due to a combination of factors such as long-term late nights and excessive stress.

If this situation continued… Su Fan closed his eyes in pain, clenching his fists, not daring to estimate Su Shengtian’s remaining lifespan.

He forced himself to shift his gaze and focus on his grandfather’s words.

Grandpa just mentioned stockpiling… Beauty Pill?

What kind of pill is this???

And he’s preparing to stockpile a large quantity… If these were to become unsellable, it would be a huge blow to the company.

Su Fan frowned in confusion.

In this era of declining martial arts, he didn’t believe anyone other than his second master could come up with a good pill formula… Grandpa… he couldn’t have been fooled, could he?!

From what he just heard, that pill seemed to be related to Lin Xuan?

The man who was going to marry his little sister for good luck?

And Grandpa even planned to hand over Su Corporation to Lin Xuan to inherit???

At this thought.

Su Fan’s brows furrowed even deeper.

It wasn’t that he had designs on Su Corporation… To be honest, now, besides reaching the peak of martial arts.

Su Fan had no interest in wealth, fame, or other so-called external possessions.

But even so, he didn't want the Su Family's original property to fall entirely into the hands of an outsider.

As the saying goes, you know a person's face but not their heart; he didn't know Lin Xuan well.

Having seen countless betrayals like Chen Shimei, who knew if Lin Xuan would turn bad once he had money? What if his little sister got hurt by a scumbag then?!

Recalling a certain possibility, a cold glint flashed in Su Fan’s eyes.

“Su Corporation! It’s most reliable for it to remain in Little Sister’s own hands!”

Thinking this.

Su Fan turned and quickly moved towards the room of his little sister, deep in his memories… In a cozy girl’s boudoir.

On the sickbed.

Su Qingge lay quietly asleep, like a sleeping beauty.

However, her internal thoughts were quite restless… [I can't sleep, I really can't sleep.]

[Did I sleep too much this morning?]

[I wonder if Lin Xuan is asleep? Is he dreaming, and is he dreaming of me?]

[(〃＞ dish＜) He couldn’t be… dreaming of other girls, could he?]

[Ugh, this is so annoying!]

[What time is it now? I wish tomorrow would come quickly!]

…Su Qingge, bored, kept talking to herself mentally, hoping for the next day to arrive.

This was unimaginable in the past.

But now, because Su Qingge had hope in her heart, she just wanted to hear that person's voice sooner… Suddenly.

She felt a tickle on her wrist, as if a thread-like object had landed on it.

However, this sensation was fleeting, and Su Qingge didn’t pay it any mind.

But if she could open her eyes, she would surely scream in fright at the sight before her.

At her bedside.

A strange man was standing there, holding a special golden thread.

The other end of the thread was resting precisely on her wrist.

Pulse diagnosis by thread!!!

The man was Su Fan.

He looked at the exquisitely beautiful girl on the sickbed, his face filled with heartache.

Five years unseen.

Now, his younger sister had grown even more stunning, beautiful enough to topple kingdoms, no wonder she was called “The fairest in Modu.”

But this was his, Su Fan’s, sister, and it was only right!

“Little sister, Big Brother is back.”

“From now on, with Big Brother here, if anyone dares to harm you, I will kill them!!!”

“Don’t worry, Big Brother will wake you up very soon.”

“…”

Seeing his little sister, who should have been full of life at her age, now in such a tragic state.

While Su Fan’s heart ached, he also harbored a deep hatred for the “culprit” who caused all of this.

Although Zhao Hu had told him that Su Qingge’s coma might be due to some strange illness or an accident.

But Su Fan didn’t believe such nonsense.

How could his young and healthy sister suddenly get some strange illness for no reason???

There must be a hidden culprit behind this!!!

As long as he cured his little sister, everything would come to light.

And so.

In order to assess his little sister's current physical condition without touching her.

Su Fan relied on the unique skill he learned from his second master—pulse diagnosis by thread!!!

He began to diagnose Su Qingge’s pulse based on the vibrations transmitted through the thread.

Hmm?

Strange, why is Little Sister’s qi and blood so vigorous?

Her condition is so good, she doesn’t seem like a vegetative patient who has been lying in bed for a long time… After a brief diagnosis, Su Fan looked surprised.

He had originally thought that after lying down for so long, his little sister's internal condition must be extremely poor.

Unexpectedly, it was surprisingly good, even better than some sub-healthy people who stay up late every day.

Could it be that an expert intervened?

And treated his little sister???

Su Fan retracted the golden thread and turned to observe Su Qingge’s facial features; her skin was fair with a rosy glow, and her complexion was radiant.

If someone unaware of the truth were present, they would never mistake the sleeping girl before them for an immobile vegetative patient.

It seems Modu… has masters?

Not all of them are useless… Could it be Old Deng, who is known as the “National Medical Saint” in Modu?

I used to think he was a charlatan, but if it really was him… then he must have some skill?!

Since completing his studies and descending the mountain, Su Fan had always been arrogant, looking down on everyone in the world.

But now, he finally somewhat understood what his masters had once said:

There are always people better than you, and there is always a higher heaven!

“It seems… I don’t need to intervene. After all, the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles is a stimulating acupuncture method!”

“Although it can directly stimulate Little Sister’s various sensory organs, forcing her to awaken from her coma.”

“But this causes significant damage to the body, and if she’s unlucky after waking up, there’s even a possibility of leaving behind sequelae.”

“Even without sequelae, she would need a good period of rest to fully recover.”

“And this unknown expert’s treatment method is clearly more gentle and mild.”

“If things continue this way! Little Sister will probably wake up naturally soon, and without any sequelae…”

“…”

Realizing that the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles was not the most suitable treatment for his little sister.

Su Fan no longer intended to forcibly intervene.

At the same time, a slight curiosity about that mysterious “expert” grew in his heart, and he thought he might find an opportunity to discuss medical skills with the other party… On the other side.

In the room next to Su Qingge’s, Lin Xuan was sound asleep.

(.-ω-)zzz

Perhaps what one thinks about during the day, one dreams about at night.

He, who deeply craved points, even in his dreams, was sticking close to all things in heaven and earth… [Ding! Host has intimately interacted with “Cai Xukun” in a dream, rewarding 1 point.]

[Ding! Host has intimately interacted with “Qin Shi Huang” in a dream, rewarding 1 point.]

[Ding! Host has intimately interacted with “inflatable doll” in a dream, rewarding 5 points.]

[Ding! Host has intimately interacted with “reader” in a dream, rewarding 100 points.]

[Ding! Host has intimately interacted with “monthly gift list reader” in a dream, rewarding 1000 points.]

…Half-asleep, half-awake.

Lin Xuan was muddled, still thinking he was dreaming.

Until a certain moment, another system prompt sounded.

[Ding! Son of Destiny Su Fan has entered the “Tie Tie Magnetic Field” range, gaining 1 point/10 seconds.]

Really, really?

(_ _)(-.-)(~O~)...(-.-)

Lin Xuan responded to the system in a daze.

But when the content of the system prompt was gradually clearly understood by Lin Xuan… Holy crap!!!

Waking up from a dying dream, the intimate interaction was with the brother-in-law?!

Lin Xuan instantly lost all sleepiness, and “whoosh” he sat up from the bed.

His gaze towards the white wall beside him was full of disbelief.

The system's prompt couldn't be wrong.

That means within the range of the “Tie Tie Magnetic Field”… behind this wall, Su Fan really exists.

“It seems Big Brother couldn’t resist his longing for family after all, which is why he snuck over last night.”

“He must be secretly shedding tears, silently reciting his feelings of longing for his family~~”

Lin Xuan knew Su Fan's character inside and out.

He and Su Qingge were also biological siblings.

It wasn’t like those old-fashioned, morally corrupt novels… where the protagonist and his sister were not blood-related, or even if they were, he would still take his sister into his harem in the name of love, a “German orthopedic” plot.

So Lin Xuan was very relieved about his brother-in-law, lay back on the bed, and prepared to go back to his dream to intimately interact with the “dear readers” and beg for gifts.

It was only then that he suddenly noticed something was amiss… In his mind!

On the “Tie Tie Magnetic Field” map, Su Fan’s glowing dot was rapidly approaching him.

(ÒωÓױ)???

Big Brother, what do you want to do?!!

Go visit your sister properly, what do you want in my room!!!

Lin Xuan was greatly alarmed.

But he quickly adjusted his breathing, pretending to be in a deep sleep.

Click!

A faint sound came from the doorway.

In the dark room, Su Fan’s figure slowly appeared.

“Here… nothing has changed.”

“So Grandpa has always kept it for me?!”

Looking at the familiar furnishings in the room, Su Fan felt a pang in his nose, a sudden urge to cry.

This was the room he used to live in, but now, seeing it again, things had long since changed… Huh???

Who is that man?

Why is he sleeping in what used to be my bed?!

Only then did Su Fan notice a young man lying in the room, occupying his former bed.

Is it him? Lin Xuan?

He lived next door to Little Sister all along?!

In the pitch-black room where he couldn’t see his hand in front of his face, Su Fan silently appeared by the bed.

Relying on the faint moonlight from outside the window, he stared intently at Lin Xuan’s face.

Looking at this young man who had taken his bed and was likely to become his brother-in-law, Su Fan felt an inexplicable sense of displeasure.

(＃￣～￣＃)

“It seems I need to quickly find that ‘expert’ and have him cooperate with me to wake up Little Sister as soon as possible.”

“And the timing must be before the auspicious wedding date arrives; I absolutely cannot let Little Sister marry someone so confusedly.”

“The one she wants to marry… must be someone she likes…”

“Given my understanding of Little Sister’s personality, she will definitely refuse this kind of arranged marriage when she wakes up!”

“…”

Recalling his little sister’s aloof personality.

Su Fan was 95% confident in his guess.

That’s why he wanted to do everything possible to prevent this absurd marriage… [Big Brother, what exactly do you want to do? | _・)]

[Don’t you know that scaring people can kill them?]

[In the middle of the night, in a pitch-black room…]

[You’re just standing there stiffly in front of my bed, do you think if someone else opened their eyes, they wouldn’t be scared to death on the spot?]

[Are you making a horror movie?]

[If it weren’t for the “Tie Tie Magnetic Field” prompt, I would have been scared senseless by you.]

…At this moment.

Lin Xuan was pretending to be asleep on the surface, but in his mind, he was frantically complaining about why Su Fan still hadn’t left?

Suddenly, a strange thought arose in his mind.

Could it be that normally… Su Qingge also lies in bed unable to move, just like me now, but mentally she’s frantically complaining about me…
