Courtyard House: Starting by inheriting the tradition and suppressing the barbarians.

"Old Chen! You're finally awake! You scared me to death!"

The old woman could no longer control herself; she rushed to the bedside, grabbed the old man's hand, and burst into tears.

"Why are you crying? I haven't gone to see Marx yet!"

Although the old man was weak, his voice was still loud and clear, exuding the iron will and toughness of a soldier.

He lifted his heavy eyelids and looked around at the people around him.

Finally, their gaze settled on Li Xuan.

"Did you save me just now?"

Although the old man had just fainted, he could feel the warm currents deep in his consciousness, which pulled him back from the brink of death.

"It was just a small favor."

Li Xuan smiled faintly, "Your evil energy has attacked your heart, and the old injury has recurred, causing your meridians to become blocked."

"The blood stasis has now dissipated and the evil energy has been eliminated. He only needs to rest for a few days to fully recover."

"A miracle doctor! He's truly a miracle doctor!"

Dean Chen finally came to his senses, his face flushed with excitement.

He immediately rushed forward and grasped Li Xuan's hand, "Young comrade! No, Dr. Li!"

"I was blind to your greatness just now!"

"Your skill in controlling the needles with qi is simply like Hua Tuo reborn!"

The Western medicine expert who had spoken rudely earlier now wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground, cowering in a corner and not daring to utter a sound.

"Dean Chen, you flatter me. I was just lucky." Li Xuan humbly withdrew his hand.

At this moment, the man in military uniform also walked over and gave Li Xuan a standard military salute.

"Young man, I am deeply grateful!"

"I'm Mr. Chen's bodyguard and secretary. If you need anything in the future, just let me know!"

Old Chen on the bed waved his hand, signaling the guard to help him sit up a little.

He looked intently at Li Xuan, his eyes filled with admiration: "A hero emerges from among the young!"

"I, Chen, have met countless people in my life, but I've never seen anyone as young and capable as you before!"

"Child, what's your name?"

"What kind of reward do you want? Just name it!"

"Whether it's joining the army, recommending you for university, or getting a job in the government, I can arrange it all for you!"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding doctors and nurses all showed expressions of envy.

This is a promise from a high-ranking minister!

In this era, just one word from this old leader could be a meteoric rise to power, with limitless prospects!

Su Yun nervously gripped the hem of her clothes, feeling both expectant and apprehensive.

However, Li Xuan shook his head, his expression calm as still water.

"Mr. Chen, I appreciate your kindness."

"But I'm still in school, and I have a mother and younger siblings at home who need my care."

"I don't want to join the army, nor do I want to go into politics."

"Oh?"

Old Chen was somewhat surprised, raising an eyebrow slightly. "Young man, this is a rare opportunity. Have you thought it through?"

"With your abilities, it's a waste for you to stay at home."

"It's not a pity."

Li Xuan glanced at his mother beside him, his eyes gentle.

"For me, the most important thing is for my family to be safe and sound together."

At this point, he changed the subject, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness and self-deprecation.

"But...the tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease."

"My father was a martyr; he had just sacrificed his life not long ago."

"We, a widow and her orphan, live in the courtyard, and there are always some kind neighbors who like to come and take care of us."

"Today they're robbing my house, tomorrow they're borrowing my food, and the day after tomorrow they're hiring someone to break my legs..."

"I'm already overwhelmed just dealing with these things every day, how can I possibly think about my future?"

"What?"

"Snapped!"

Upon hearing this, Old Chen flew into a rage and slammed his hand on the bedside table, making the teacup jump around.

"Outrageous! How dare anyone bully the family of a martyr in broad daylight?"

"This is uprooting our nation!"

"This is chilling the hearts of us veterans!"

A murderous aura, born from a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, erupted instantly, terrifying everyone in the room into silence.

"Xiao Zhao!" Old Chen shouted at the guard.

"arrive!"

"Go and find out! Find out exactly which street and which courtyard it is!"

"Anyone who dares to bully this child is going against me, Chen! They must be severely punished!"

Li Xuan chuckled inwardly; this application of emotional manipulation was absolutely perfect.

With this powerful figure speaking up, even if it's just for his own career, Director Wang of the neighborhood committee will have to treat their family like royalty from now on!

After venting his anger, Old Chen's gaze towards Li Xuan softened considerably.

This child is capable yet humble and loyal!

He's willing to give up a promising future for his family; he's a promising talent!

"Child, since you do not wish to pursue a career in government, I will not force you."

"But you saved my life, I can't leave without showing my gratitude."

Old Chen thought for a moment and said to his wife, "Go and bring that over."

The old woman quickly took out an exquisite wooden box from her bag.

There were also two bottles of unlabeled liquor and two cartons of specially supplied Zhonghua cigarettes.

"Take these cigarettes and alcohol back with you. You can give them away or exchange them for money, it's up to you."

Old Chen handed the items to Li Xuan, and then took out a small red hardcover notebook from the wooden box.

"This is my special pass, a testament to my identity."

"If you encounter problems you can't solve in the future, or if someone dares to abuse their power to bully you..."

"Just hand over this! Let's see who dares to touch you!"

"Also, my office phone number is here. You can call me anytime!"

"Special pass?"

When Dean Chen saw the red booklet, he gasped.

This is no ordinary document; it's a talisman that grants direct access to certain core government compounds!

With this, Li Xuan could practically do whatever he wanted in Beijing!

Li Xuan accepted the gift with both hands without any pretense, saying, "It is a gift from an elder, and I dare not refuse it."

"Thank you, Mr. Chen!"

He knew that this was what he needed most.

With this talisman, "moral blackmail" of Yi Zhonghai's caliber is a joke in front of him.

"Good! Good boy!"

Old Chen found Li Xuan more and more pleasing to the eye. "Come to my house often and have a chat with this old man."

……

As Su Yun left the ward, she felt completely lightheaded.

She was carrying two bottles of specially supplied Moutai and two cartons of specially supplied Zhonghua cigarettes, as if she were carrying two mountains of gold.

"Xiao Xuan...Is Mom dreaming?"

Su Yun pinched her arm. "That's Old Chen!"

"Did we...did we really get his promise?"

"Mom, it's true."

Li Xuan patted the red booklet in his pocket and said with a smile, "From now on, you can stand up straight in the hospital."

"No one dares to give you a hard time!"

"As for those guys in the courtyard..."

A hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.

"Once I put these special-supply cigarettes and alcohol on the table, let's see if Yi Zhonghai still dares to talk to me about respecting the elderly and caring for the young!"

Dean Chen personally escorted the mother and child to the hospital entrance, holding Su Yun's hand and speaking earnestly:

"Dr. Su, you've really raised a fine son!"

"If you encounter any difficulties at work in the future, feel free to tell me!"

"Our institute will never mistreat the families of our meritorious service members!"

Su Yun was flattered and nodded repeatedly.

on the way home.

Li Xuan rode his bicycle, feeling the heavy sense of privilege in his arms, and his heart was filled with a sense of peace.

We have military power, we have financial resources, and now we even have official backing.

This courtyard house instance can now be entered into a "hellish difficulty" harvesting mode!
