Chapter 79: Defying Heaven, the Third Shot

e, still in a fit of rage, turned around to look at Xia Tian: "What did you say""I said if you give me ten million, I’ll take care of that guy and snatch your wife back for you!" Xia Tian quickly expl...Chapter 78: Critical Condition

Ye Mengying had another sleepless night. Since Xia Tian left yesterday, she had been by her grandfather's side, afraid that someone would secretly harm him if she were to leave.

It wasn't until the wee hours of the morning that she managed to rest briefly next to his bed before waking up early in the morning and noticing something was amiss with her grandfather. She quickly called over a nurse and doctor from the hospital who, after examining him, stated that his condition continued to deteriorate. If things went on like this, he wouldn't have much time left.

Ye Mengying didn’t care about how early it was and immediately gave Xia Tian a call. Xia Tian had once woken up her grandfather, something no previous doctor could do. Now she felt only Xia Tian could possibly bring her grandfather out of his coma again.

Xia Tian and Liu Meng arrived at Saint Heart Hospital at seven in the morning. This time there was nobody else in the room except for Ye Mengying and a nurse looking after him, though there were several people seemingly aimlessly walking around in the corridor, their sharp eyes observing everyone who passed by.

"Xia Tian, quickly check on Grandpa; what’s wrong with him" As soon as Xia Tian arrived, Ye Mengying said anxiously.

Xia Tian didn’t waste any time and first went to take Ye Tiance's pulse. Once he did so, his brows furrowed in concern; the situation was worse than expected. Originally, he thought that after saving a sliver of life for Ye Tiance yesterday, the old man could hold on for some time. However, upon further examination, he realized he had underestimated the person who harmed Ye Tiance; the acupuncture treatment from the previous day hadn’t fully preserved what little qi remained in him. In reality, it was slowly seeping away.

At this rate, Ye Tiance might not survive a week or even three days at most because of how old he is. After all, dying due to old age is fate, something beyond human control to change; doing so would be defying nature itself.

"Is the situation serious in summer" Ye Mengying noticed that Xia Tian had put away her usual playful demeanor and looked very solemn, which made her feel something was amiss. She asked anxiously.

"That bastard is more capable than I thought." Xia Tian felt a bit embarrassed. "Sis Beauty, I originally believed your grandfather could live for about ten more days yesterday, but unexpectedly, his condition is actually deteriorating. If this continues, he might only have three days left."

"Three days" Ye Mengying's face instantly turned extremely pale as she suddenly grabbed Xia Tian's hand. "Summer, you definitely have a solution, right Help me! As long as it can save Grandpa, I’ll agree to anything you want!"

Usually, if Xia Tian heard that a pretty lady was willing to promise him anything, he would be very happy, but now, he couldn't feel joyful because he truly had no solutions.

"Naughty boy, are there really no ways at all" Liu Meng asked beside her.

Xia Tian glanced at Liu Meng. Did she really want him to try that method However, not only was the risk involved in this approach considerable, it might also not succeed. Although his second master often said men should be brave enough to take risks, Xia Tian still felt that if he could avoid taking risks, it would be better.

"Xia Tian, you actually do have a way, don’t you" Ye Mengying was very smart; seeing Xia Tian hesitate, she guessed he probably had a method but hadn't decided whether to help her yet.

"Sis Beauty, it's not exactly that I have a solution..." Xia Tian scratched his head. He was still torn between deciding whether or not to use that approach.

"In summer, the best person in this world to me is my grandfather. But over these years, because I didn't want to compete with my siblings for property, I deliberately kept away from my grandfather. During the years when he needed me most, I wasn't by his side. I really regret it..." Tears welled up in her eyes and Ye Mengying choked out, "All I hope is that Grandpa can live a little longer, even if just half a month or a month would do. I hope he wakes up so I can spend more time chatting with him. Otherwise, I won't be able to feel at ease for the rest of my life."

Seeing Ye Mengying in such distress, Summer finally felt somewhat sorry for her and said, "Miss, I can give it a try. However..."

"Summer, as long as you can revive Grandpa, I will agree to anything!" Ye Mengying hurriedly said.

"Miss, that's not what I meant," Summer explained. "I have a method that might save your grandfather, but I'm not one hundred percent sure about it. Therefore, I need to tell you first. Also, this is my last resort; if this fails, there will be no other way for me."

"Summer, as long as you do your best, even if you can't really revive Grandpa, I won't blame you," Ye Mengying said through gritted teeth.

"Moreover, this time is different from before. When I treat him, no one should disturb me; yes, I need a completely safe place," Summer thought for a moment and stated.

"No problem, I'll ask Big Brother to arrange it." Ye Mengying said as she picked up her phone and dialed Ye Shaoyong's number.

“Young Master Ye, you're so naughty... Mm..." Hearing the soft moans from his arms, Young Master Ye Shijie felt extremely satisfied. As they say, when good things happen, one feels elated; recently, Young Master Ye Shijie had encountered quite a few pleasant events.

The first of the Four Young Masters of Jianghai, Gao Mingyang, got a beating, which was good news to him because he no longer had to look up to Gao Mingyang and could at least avoid seeing his face.

Yesterday, he finally managed to use his ring to summon another beautiful woman. This beauty not only had an excellent figure but also outstanding bedroom skills that satisfied him greatly; this was also good news because halfway through the month, it was his first successful attempt with his "girl-attracting" ring.

The best piece of good news for him was learning that Old Man Ye Tiansouth was now terminally ill and would pass away in a few days.

Of course, this old man referred to was none other than his grandfather Ye Tiansouth. For most people, their grandfathers dying wouldn't be considered good news, but for Young Master Ye Shaojie, it was indeed the best possible news because once Old Man Ye passed away, all of the Ye family's vast assets would eventually fall into his hands.

Among Jianghai's three major families, the Ye Family had the most money, although they lacked influential figures in politics. Therefore, compared to the Qiao Family, their power was somewhat inferior. Old Man Ye Tiansouth had three sons: Ye Zhiyi ranked second, with two sons and a daughter; while Young Master Ye Shaojie also ranked second among them. In theory, these family assets should not have fallen into Ye Shaojie's hands, but the current situation was that once Old Man Ye passed away, Ye Shaojie would soon take actual control of all the assets.

The money currently in the Ye Family belonged to Old Man Ye Tiansouth. His three sons managed some companies, but they were only acting on his behalf; the shares were still controlled by Old Man Ye. Unsatisfied with their business capabilities, he had never entrusted the family's operations to them and everyone knew that what Ye Tiansouth favored most was actually his granddaughter Ye Mengying, whom he wanted to leave everything to.

Unfortunately, due to her emphasis on familial ties, Ye Mengying did not wish for a rift with her relatives. She therefore distanced herself from the family by moving away to Xingcheng and starting her own small company.

The main competitor Young Master Ye Shaojie feared was this cousin sister. However, he felt incredibly lucky since Old Man Ye had yet to make a will before slipping into a coma. Without a will, there would be no inheritance for his cousin sister, leaving him without an opponent.

Now that the old man is finally going to die without a will, his property would be inherited by his three sons. Having worked hard for years to covertly control them, he would soon gain complete actual control over the entire Tiannan Group and all of the Ye family's assets. He could use everything at any time, making him truly a billionaire!

"I, Ye Shaojie, am the real number one young master in Jianghai!" Ye Shaojie caressed the woman he held in his arms, feeling quite smug.

But then his phone rang and interrupted his pleasant dream. Ye Shaojie picked up the phone and frowned upon seeing who it was.

"What is it" Ye Shaojie's tone was clearly displeased.

"Young Master Ye, your cousin has taken your grandfather away from Sacred Heart Hospital," said a hurried voice over the phone.

"What Where did they take him" Ye Shaojie asked in a changed tone of voice.

"They are still on the road. I’m following them; there are two cars protecting them, so I can’t get too close… " The voice suddenly changed over the phone. "Oh no, Young Master Ye, they’ve entered the military district compound and I can’t follow them anymore!"

"Damn it! It’s that bastard Ye Shaoxiong!" Ye Shaojie angrily cursed, all his good mood disappearing at once.

The military district compound is indeed a very safe place, and it's also Ye Shaoyong’s territory. Once they get here, no one else from the Ye family can do anything.

After passing through several checkpoints, Ye Tiansouth was finally brought to a room. Xia Tian glanced at the guards nearby and finally felt relieved. He should be safe in this place.

That's right; what Xia Tian worried about most wasn’t others' safety but his own safety. If someone were to attack him while he treated Ye Tiansouth, that would be a big problem for him.

"Brother Ye, pretty sister, you should go out too."

After settling everything in place, Xia Tian spoke up.

"Little rascal, do I need to leave" Liu Meng asked.

"Of course not," said Xia Tian as he looked at her. "I still need your help!"

"Need my help" Liu Meng was a bit puzzled, and Ye Shaoyong and Ye Mengying were also surprised. What could this pretty little fairy help with

Xia Tian nodded: "One needle for life, two needles for death, three needles to make the flesh and bones white… The elderly man’s condition is too critical; I can only risk using the miraculous third needle. However, based on my current level of skill, it's impossible to use this technique, but if I borrow your power, there might be a chance of success."vantage of you," Summer whispered. "I'm protecting you!"How could he be so foolish as to release her when holding such a soft body was so comfortableSun Xinxin was at a loss for words; she wouldn’t be...
