Chapter 491: Since You are Here, Just Stay and Have Fun for a While Longer
After the doctors came and assessed the old man, the old Eastern medicine doctor said to Minister Ye, “It’s all good, the blood he just spat out had been congested in his body for a while.”
Hearing this, Minister Ye and his wife finally calmed down. Another western doctor was in the process of applying medical ointment onto the wounds on the old man’s face, while the last one attended to the other elders to make sure they were all fine too.
Now, the Ye Family definitely couldn’t live in a courtyard like this anymore, it would need to be rebuilt.
After the three doctors were done, they all looked at Xu Cheng intently.
That kind of look, like they were looking at their first love, was really making Xu Cheng uncomfortable.
“You three old gentlemen, don’t tell me that I’m your long-lost grandson. The way you guys are looking at me is really making me feel insecure.”
The three doctors bitterly smiled. They each handed Xu Cheng their card and said, “We hope that one day you will have time to visit us at our medical center. This is our number and address.”
Xu Cheng nodded. “I will see you guys out then.”
Elder Guo snorted. “Little Xiu can see them out, you stay.”
Xu Cheng could only sit his azz back down.
After Ye Xiu came back, Elder Nie said to him, “Little Xiu, close the door, don’t let anyone in.”
Once the door was closed, Xu Cheng felt that this place’s atmosphere felt very oppressive.
“You put on a good act.” Xu Cheng said to the old man on the bed, “The breathing rhythm of when you were unconscious versus awake is clearly different, so you have been awake for at least a couple minutes now.”
“You brat!” The old man’s eyes widened and he said, “You didn’t save me face today!”
Xu Cheng: “You already lost your face yourself. If I didn’t stop you, you would be basically like a mad dog in heat.”
The old man snorted. “What lose face. What embarrassed me the most was that you facking knocked me out in one move! You could’ve at least went a few rounds with me just for the act. Why did you have to stomp me in front of everyone like that? Do you still want to walk out of this door?”
Xu Cheng looked at the four old men and said, “Then what do you guys want?”
Elder Zhou: “Be honest, can Big Brother Ye really live for ten more years?”
Xu Cheng glanced at Elder Ye and replied to Elder Zhou, “Why don’t you ask him? Right now he couldn’t be healthier.”
Elder Ye smacked his lips. “Yeah, I feel like 10 years is no problem. I don’t know why, but I feel really energetic right now! Like, I feel I have an endless amount of power and energy!”
Elder Nie nodded. He looked at Xu Cheng and said, “Little Cheng, you said before that Big Brother Ye is a legend. But is he the only one that’s a legend in your eyes?”
Xu Cheng: “Nah, you four other Grandpas are all no worse than Grandpa Ye, you are all the foundation of this nation.”
The other four elders nodded in satisfaction.
At this time, Elder Xing said, “You have to remember, you have five grandpas.”
“I know, I know, I’ve always kept that and my mission in mind. When I was out in the world, I also didn’t embarrass our nation.” Xu Cheng smiled.
Elder Zhou: “That syringe you took out earlier… what effects does it have?”
“Oh, just improves health, rejuvenates the body, and extends life,” Xu Cheng said.
Elder Guo: “Extend life? How much can it extend it by?”
Xu Cheng: “I don’t have a clear estimate, but by the looks of Grandpa Ye, I would think it’s probably at least 15 years?”
No one would complain about living longer, and if presented with the opportunity to live longer, who’s going to be just like “Meh, I will pass”?
“Then, the thing in that syringe, do you have more of it?” Elder Guo said.
Xu Cheng sighed. “I’m not going to lie to my grandpas, it’s really hard to make, and the ingredients are also a bit hard to find. Originally, I wanted to develop and mass-produce it to cure cancer, but because of how difficult it was to develop, I had to give up.”
The four elders anxiously asked, “What kind of ingredients does it need?”
Xu Cheng shook his head and sighed. “One of the ingredients can’t be found anymore, and without it, it won’t be possible.”
Xu Cheng passed the empty syringe that was injected into the old man to the other four elders. “There is still a bit of residue, you can take it to the national research center and you will know how difficult it is.”
Xu Cheng wasn’t afraid of them studying it, because it was indeed impossible to make without one ingredient, and that was his blood! It was because only his blood could create antibodies to sustain cell resuscitation.
Without it, it would only mean death to inject genes into someone’s body!
The four elders looked quite disappointed.
Seeing them like this, Xu Cheng felt a bit bad. Last time, he fused four syringes worth of serum. He gave one to Jerry, two to Caesar and his apprentice, and the last one to the old man. He was indeed out.
But, he couldn’t say he could just make them out of his azz.
So, he said, “Grandpas, I obviously wouldn’t be this unfair. Don’t worry, I will find a way to develop more, since I also hope that you all can live for a long time. After all, with you guys here, there wouldn’t be chaos, and the citizens of this nation can enjoy peace.”
The four elders nodded. “Little brat, you sure know what’s the right thing to do”
Elder Ye walked over with his back a bit slouched. Xu Cheng looked at him and said, “Old Man, you can try straightening your back and see.”
Grandpa Ye tried to straighten his back and oh damn, he didn’t crack his back this time. He felt like he was walking on clouds, and it made the other four elders very envious.
He obviously couldn’t just enjoy all of this by himself, and he understood how tough the other guys had it as they were dealing with old age.
“Little Cheng, I hope you can use whatever method and try to re-develop this medicine for your other four grandpas,” Elder Ye looked at Xu Cheng and said.
“Of course I will,” Xu Cheng replied.
Elder Ye: “Then don’t leave this country anymore, just concentrate on developing this medicine, and let us know if you need any ingredients. I know you want to become a legend on the world stage, but it’s too dangerous.”
“You guys don’t let me play in Huaxia, so I can only go outside. Don’t force me on this topic, Old Man, you know it’s a very depressing feeling to have all this power but be restricted in a cage.”
The other four elders knew Elder Ye’s intention too, but they shook their hands and said, “Big Brother, just let the brat go out and go crazy. Sometimes, we have to just go along with what fate has planned.“
At first, they thought Xu Cheng could easily make this kind of medicine after he developed the recipe, but now that they knew it was near-impossible to make, so they didn’t force it.
Elder Nie asked Xu Cheng, “Brat, tell us, what are you playing? You’ve been gone for so long, being so mysterious.”
Xu Cheng smiled. “Just watch and you will find out later. But don’t worry, my five grandpas, my blade will never be directed towards our nation. I promise. If I did it, then when I die and go meet my dad, he would probably beat me to death again.”
Elder Ye patted him on the shoulder. “Fine. Just go nuts in the other countries. Remember, kid, if you want to come back, just come back anytime. In this country, I will use all of my power to have your back!”
Xu Cheng felt a bit touched as he nodded and smiled. “I got it. Next time when I come back, I want to have more stories to boast to you guys about. So yeah, just wait for me to go out and make more stories.”
Elder Ye: “But since you are already back, just hang around for a bit longer. If you dare to run away, I will just go and seize the company and assets that your whatever Auntie Lan’s managing.”
Xu Cheng didn’t know whether he should laugh or cry. “Alright, got it, Old Man.”
