章 4: Chapter 4 Get Married Immediately!
Zhou Yu spoke up, "Miss Lin was indeed poisoned, but it was not Enchanting Poison, it was from a black bee sting."
"Black bee sting?" Li De'an appeared completely bewildered.
"Black bees are a rare type of poisonous bee found in the mountains. It's quite normal that Divine Doctor Li doesn't know about them."
Li De'an suddenly realized, "I see. It seems that Miss Lin was accidentally harmed by a poisonous bee."
Accidentally?
Zhou Yu did not think so. These poisonous bees were rarely seen even in the mountains, so how could they possibly be in the city.
It must have been intentional.
Zhou Yu quickly recalled the scene when Lin Luoluo began to show symptoms.
Soon, he had a suspect in mind.
The delivery boy!
He must have been in league with the man in the business Mercedes, seeking to take Lin Luoluo away.
As for their objective? Zhou Yu was not clear on that.
Zhou Yu fell into deep thought, choosing to remain silent until he had a clearer understanding.
Li De'an continued to inquire.
"By the way, young friend, that set of acupuncture techniques you used just now was most peculiar. Could you enlighten me, what is the name of that technique?"
"Nine Turns Resurrection." Zhou Yu did not hide it.
Li De'an's face was a picture of shock.
"Nine Turns Resurrection!!! It's that ancient acupuncture technique. I never imagined someone of your young age could master it so proficiently... truly remarkable..."
Zhou Yu offered a faint smile.
"The toxins in her body have not been fully cleared. I will write a prescription, do trouble Divine Doctor Li to prepare the medicine."
"Sure, no problem."
Li De'an agreed most readily.
The expertise of a professional is evident immediately upon taking action.
Upon seeing the prescription Zhou Yu had written, a look of astonishment once again filled Li De'an's eyes.
"So... one can actually use medicine this way, I've learned something new."
"Young fellow, I have an impertinent request. When you're free, could you possibly come to Bencao Tang for an exchange of knowledge?"
Zhou Yu smiled slightly.
"Certainly."
Li De'an left satisfied, holding the prescription.
The conversation between the two men went unnoticed by the Lin Family, who were all gathered around Lin Luoluo at the moment.
After Li De'an had prepared the medicine, the Lin Family took Lin Luoluo back to their villa.
The Lin Family lived in the Wanhua Mountain villa area on the outskirts of Yancheng; it was the most exclusive residential area in Yancheng. Zhou Yu was visiting such a place for the first time, and the environment truly made him marvel.
So this is how rich people live.
It's really nice!
By evening, Lin Luoluo finally woke up. Apart from feeling somewhat weak, she had mostly returned to normal.
The Lin Family crowded around Lin Luoluo, and Lin Chaodong asked with concern,
"Luoluo, how do you feel?"
Lin Luoluo pressed her forehead.
"Not too bad, just a bit weak. Maybe I'm just overworked. Oh, right, Grandfather, I remember before I fainted, there was a disgusting hooligan..."
As she spoke, Lin Luoluo suddenly caught sight of Zhou Yu standing next to Lin Chaodong, and her expression abruptly changed.
"It's him!"
"This despicable hooligan, while I was unconscious, he... he took advantage of me..."
Lin Luoluo pointed at Zhou Yu, her face flushed with anger.
Zhou Yu looked utterly speechless.
Lin Chaodong quickly pulled Lin Luoluo's hand down.
"Luoluo, he's no hooligan; he is your savior."
"Savior?"
Lin Luoluo was still angry.
"I was just overworked and a bit overheated from the sun. Did I really need him to save me?"
Lin Luoluo was completely unaware of the black bee sting incident.
Lin Chaodong immediately gave Lin Luoluo a rough explanation of the black bee sting incident, and her anger gradually turned to shock.
"I was stung by a poisonous bee? That's impossible."
Lin Chaodong nodded and said,
"It is rather strange, but all you need to do is be more careful in the future. Fortunately, there was no harm done this time."
"Alright, now that Luoluo is fine, I want to announce something."
Lin Chaodong spoke seriously.
"I have decided to marry Luoluo to Xiao Yu. Wanhao, please start preparing for their wedding. This time, our Lin Family must make it a grand affair."
"What???"
Upon hearing Lin Chaodong's words, both Lin Wanhao and Lin Luoluo were stunned.
"Grandfather, what are you saying? Marry me off to this despicable hooligan?"
"Dad, surely you're not confused. Why would you let Luoluo marry this obscure country bumpkin?"
Clearly, neither Lin Wanhao nor his daughter had any fondness for Zhou Yu, although Bai Yuzhen looked at Zhou Yu with curiosity in her eyes.
Lin Chaodong's expression darkened.
"Were it not for Xiao Yu, would Luoluo still be sitting here in good health?"
Lin Wanhao replied angrily,
"Dad, I didn't want to say this, but think about it. Who is Divine Doctor Li, even he couldn't diagnose Luoluo's condition. How could this kid be so sure it was a black bee sting?"
"And think about it, how could such a rare species as the black poisonous bee appear in the city?"
"And him!!"
Lin Wanhao pointed at Zhou Yu, rebuking him.
"It just so happens he comes from the mountains, is there such a coincidence in the world? This is obviously a self-directed and performed act. His aim is to get close to our Lin Family."
Zhou Yu listened, his face full of astonishment.
Following that logic, it seemed like something he would have done himself.
He had been wrongly accused out of nowhere.
"Shut up. Xiao Yu is a descendant of my elder brother, a divine figure. If it weren't for my elder brother, I wouldn't be alive today, let alone the Lin Group."
"Remember this, Xiao Yu coming to our Lin Family is a fortune for us. The marriage is settled like this."
Lin Chaodong stated uncompromisingly.
"Grandfather..."
Lin Luoluo became anxious.
"I can't possibly marry this ruffian. If you force me, I will die for you to see."
"You dare..."
Lin Chaodong, furious, slammed the table and stood up.
But then, his face turned red, and he began to cough violently, coughing up a mouthful of blood.
"Dad!"
"Grandfather!"
The people of the Lin Family panicked and quickly gathered around.
Lin Chaodong, his face pale, looked at Lin Luoluo.
"Luoluo, you must listen to your grandfather... Otherwise, I won't be able to die in peace."
Lin Chaodong's words carried enormous weight.
Even Zhou Yu was startled.
What kind of relationship did the old man have with Lin Chaodong, to make him so insistent on marrying his beautiful granddaughter to him?
Lin Luoluo, with an aggrieved face, bit her lip.
"Grandfather, I... I agree!"
A smile finally appeared on Lin Chaodong's pale face.
"Good, then the wedding will be held in three days."
Lin Luoluo did not speak, but two lines of clear tears flowed from her eyes.
Zhou Yu, however, wasn't very excited.
It seemed his bride-to-be was unwilling.
If she was unwilling, it would be inconvenient for him to handle matters with her in the future.
He couldn't always be forcing her, could he?
That would truly make him a complete scoundrel.
Thinking this, Zhou Yu suddenly spoke up:
"Old Master, how about we postpone this matter? I'm not very familiar with Miss Lin; a hasty marriage seems a bit hard for me to adapt to."
Lin Chaodong was taken aback.
"Xiao Yu, what do you mean by that?"
"Grandfather Lin, what I mean is, it wouldn't be too late even if Miss Lin and I become familiar with each other before holding the wedding. As for your health, it seems to be a serious issue; let's find a quiet place, and I'll examine you first."
Bai Yuzhen, who had been silent until then, also spoke persuasively:
"Dad, I think Xiao Yu makes sense. Young people's matters can't be rushed. Why not let Xiao Yu look at your health first?"
Lin Chaodong sighed.
"Alright. But this matter cannot be delayed for too long, three months at most."
"Deal."
Zhou Yu nodded.
"Then follow me to the study."
"Alright."
Zhou Yu supported old Master Lin to the study.
After an examination, Zhou Yu took out some silver needles and inserted a few into Lin Chaodong.
After several needles were in, Lin Chaodong's complexion became relaxed, much of the duskiness on his face dissipated, and his eyes appeared much more spirited.
"Grandfather Lin, there's no serious issue with your body. It's just that you flared up in anger; just try not to get angry in the future."
Lin Chaodong remarked appreciatively.
"Xiao Yu, for someone your age to have such medical skills, you truly are my brother's descendant."
A thought crossed Zhou Yu's mind.
"Grandfather Lin, may I ask you about some matters?"
Zhou Yu hoped to unravel a puzzle through Lin Chaodong.
That was regarding the mysterious oath made twenty years ago.
"If one day he leaves Taoyuan Village and fails to personally help the old man clean up the family within three years, he would have no burial place upon his death."
At the time, young and naive, he had made that poisonous vow according to the old man's wish.
Logically, anyone making him swear such a vow was definitely not a good person.
Yet, over the next twenty years, the old man treated him like a family member, making the whole affair seem even more strange to him.
Throughout the years, Zhou Yu had tried numerous times to inquire, but the old man always remained silent about it.
Yesterday, when he left the village, the old man again deliberately reminded him of it, which made Zhou Yu very curious.
This matter must be far from simple!!!
Lin Chaodong chuckled.
"Go ahead."
Zhou Yu asked:
"Grandfather Lin, what is your relationship with the old man?"
