My Ares Son-in-Law

Xiao Chen looked at the woman's crazy behavior and couldn't help feeling a little pity in his heart.

He frowned, and after the woman kowtowed several times, he finally said, "Okay, okay, you get up first, I promise you. However, you also know that his family may not be willing to let an outsider like me treat him. I can only say that I will do my best, but the result is really not something I can decide."

In fact, it was really easy for Xiao Chen to treat the old man, as he had superb medical skills and rich experience. However, he knew very well that in this world, some things could not be solved smoothly just by superb medical skills.

If the old man's family doubts him, does not trust him, and does not follow his instructions, then even if he has great abilities, it will be of no avail and he will not be able to play the role he should.

When the woman heard that Xiao Chen was willing to help, her pretty face, which had originally become haggard due to anxiety and fear, had completely lost its makeup, but a look of surprise instantly appeared in her eyes.

She held Xiao Chen's hand tightly, her voice trembling: "Thank you, sir. As long as you can save him, I will give you everything I have and reward you handsomely." Her eyes were full of gratitude and expectation, as if she had regarded Xiao Chen as her only savior.

Xiao Chen smiled slightly, with a hint of confidence and calmness in his eyes: "Okay, I'll make the money. But you have to remember that what I need is your trust and cooperation. Only if we work together can we defeat the disease."

His tone was firm and powerful, as if conveying an invisible power to the woman.

At this moment, before the ambulance arrived, a black car rushed in like a storm, stirring up a cloud of dust. The car door suddenly opened, and a man in his forties got out of the car in a hurry, looking anxious and nervous.

Behind him followed two burly, stern-looking bodyguards. Their eyes revealed unquestionable majesty and power, as if they were ready to deal with any emergency at any time.

The man's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it. He walked quickly to the old man who was lying on the ground.

First, he carefully touched the side of the old man's neck, feeling the weak but still beating pulse, then he turned his head abruptly, staring at Lin Miaomiao with a pair of eyes as sharp as a hawk: "Lin Miaomiao, what happened to my dad? Why did he fall to the ground?"

Lin Miaomiao was frightened by the man's fierce gaze. Her eyes were full of fear and her voice was trembling: "He...he accidentally fell while walking just now. It really has nothing to do with me. I...I just wanted to help him up, but..."

There was a hint of helplessness and panic in her words, and she was obviously frightened by this sudden change.

The man's eyes stayed on Lin Miaomiao for a moment, then he swept across the silver needles scattered on the old man's body, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. His eyes finally fixed on Xiao Chen, and his voice was low and powerful: "Did you insert these silver needles?"

Facing the man's questioning, Xiao Chen remained calm and composed.

He nodded slightly, his tone revealing an unquestionable confidence: "Just now your father was in critical condition. I happened to be passing by here, so I used acupuncture to save his life and stabilize his condition. However, if you want to cure him completely, you need to send him to the hospital for further examination and treatment."

The man's face was cold and hard, his lips were tightly pursed, and he said in a deep voice: "Then I'll trouble you to come with me to the hospital later. I will reward you handsomely when my father wakes up." Although he tried to remain polite in his tone, his eyes were as cold as ice, and there was no gratitude in his eyes.

Xiao Chen keenly grasped this point, and couldn't help but secretly speculate in his heart: This person was polite in his words, but there was no gratitude in his eyes, and it was clear that he had deep doubts about him and others. Asking him to go to the hospital was just a disguised way of keeping him, so that he wouldn't take the opportunity to run away.

Xiao Chen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, thinking secretly in his heart: If his father can really wake up, and after asking clearly, confirms that it was his bravery that saved his father's life, then he will definitely reward him handsomely. Xiao Chen has no doubt about this.

After all, the grace of saving a life is greater than heaven, and any reward is not excessive.

However, if his father unfortunately died or fell into a vegetative state, the situation would be very different. Before investigating the truth, everyone here, including himself, would become the object of his suspicion.

A hint of solemnity flashed across Xiao Chen's eyes. He was well aware of the complexity and variability of human nature.

If it is finally proven that his father's injury is inextricably linked to him and others, even if it is only an indirect cause, then this person will definitely not let him and others off easily. By then, I am afraid that it will not be solved by a simple "reward".

But this is normal. If you put yourself in his shoes, if you were this man, facing your father's sudden accident, your emotions would lose control, and you would have doubts. You would probably take similar actions.

Xiao Chen pondered in his heart, and a smile of understanding appeared on his lips. "You seem to be a capable person, so you should understand my approach. It should be okay for you to check the surveillance yourself, right? In this way, the right and wrong will naturally come to light. However, your blunt attitude doesn't show any intention of thanking me."

There was a hint of teasing and relief in his tone, and he didn't seem to mind the other party's misunderstanding and suspicion.

When the man heard Xiao Chen's words, his face warmed up slightly, and his tense nerves seemed to relax a little. He turned his head and gently tapped a bodyguard beside him with his chin. The bodyguard immediately understood, turned around, took out his mobile phone, and dialed the number skillfully, obviously to contact the relevant department to retrieve the surveillance video here.

It is not difficult to see from this series of actions that they have sufficient resources and connections to obtain the required information quickly and effectively.

Xiao Chen watched this scene quietly, secretly admiring it in his heart. Obviously, they could directly contact the police or traffic department to retrieve the surveillance video here. This ability is not something that ordinary people can do.

This not only made him admire him, but also made him more convinced that he had not misjudged the person. The Cheng Tianan in front of him was indeed a capable person.

At this moment, the man walked up to Xiao Chen, slowly extended his hand, and spoke in a more polite tone than before, as if apologizing for his gaffe:
"I'm sorry. I was in a bad mood when I suddenly saw my father like this. I hope you can forgive me for what I said. My name is Cheng Tianan..."

There was a hint of sincerity and apology in his eyes, as if he was expressing his deepest gratitude and respect to Xiao Chen. (End of this chapter)
