Chapter 470: Chapter 470

Hua Susu's spewed blood was very viscous and had a distinctly foul odor.

However, after Hua Susu spit out this mouthful of blood, the previously dazed and slack-eyed Hua Susu suddenly showed some clarity in her eyes.

"Where... where am I? What happened to me?" Hua Susu looked around, utterly puzzled as she spoke.

"Susu... Susu, have you really awakened?" Hua Yongqiang hurriedly approached her, his eyes filled with ecstatic joy as he looked at Hua Susu.

Although Hua Yongqiang was very successful in the business world, his wife had passed away early, shortly after giving birth to Hua Susu.

Partly because of his deep love for his late wife and partly out of fear that Hua Susu would suffer if he found a new partner, Hua Yongqiang remained alone, despite being middle-aged.

Hua Yongqiang had raised Hua Susu by himself from her childhood, which spoke volumes of the deep father-daughter affection between them.

After one outing, Hua Susu came back changed, appearing dazed and confused. Hua Yongqiang had searched countless places, consulted numerous experts, and met with many famous doctors for his daughter's sake.

But her condition never improved.

It wasn't until yesterday when he heard that Mu Qiangsheng, having been in a coma for a long time, was miraculously healed by the doctor that Hua Yongqiang sought out Ye Ningqing's aunt and then personally visited Ding Fan.

Initially, Hua Yongqiang had high hopes for Ding Fan, but upon seeing his youth, he felt somewhat disappointed.

Yet now, the illness that had stumped so many experts and famous doctors, Ding Fan had revived Susu in just a few minutes, something that left Hua Yongqiang in disbelief.

"Divine healer! Indeed, a divine healer! Mr. Ding, I am willing to give you money, thank you for saving my daughter..." Hua Yongqiang addressed Ding Fan.

"Put away your stinking money and get lost, I haven't finished saving her yet," Ding Fan retorted coldly to Hua Yongqiang. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦·𝘯𝘦𝘵

Seeing Ding Fan state that the treatment wasn't complete, Hua Yongqiang obediently stood to one side.

Hua Yongqiang regarded Ding Fan's words as sacrosanct, especially after he revived his daughter who had been lost in a stupor for so long.

Hua Susu had just woken up and was still unfamiliar with her surroundings, now looking at Ding Fan before her with a bit of fear.

"I'm the one who saved your life... Stay relaxed, and leave the rest to me," Ding Fan told Hua Susu.

There was a reassuring aura about Ding Fan that, upon feeling it and hearing his words, the initially anxious Hua Susu relaxed as instructed.

At that moment, Ding Fan walked directly behind Hua Susu.

Ding Fan had initially used True Qi to directly make contact with the seal on Hua Susu's primary soul.

The technique used to seal Hua Susu's main soul was quite ordinary; unlike aiding Mu Qiangsheng, Ding Fan didn't need to look for the blood of the person who placed the seal. He could simply use True Qi to lift the seal.

After removing the seal on Hua Susu, Ding Fan's next task was to figure out how to eradicate the mutant virus of the plague from her body.

"Bring a basin here and tell everyone outside not to come in," Ding Fan ordered Hua Yongqiang.

Hua Yongqiang, not daring to delay, promptly agreed and hastened to make the arrangements.

By this time, Ding Fan had already begun to expel the virus from Hua Susu's body.

The virus inside Hua Susu was not that abundant, suggesting it hadn't been long since the virus had entered her body. With several consecutive applications of True Qi, Ding Fan managed to clear all the virus from her system.

Hua Susu spat out several mouthfuls of blood.

This blood changed from the initial viscous black to a bright red color by the end.

Ding Fan, seeing the bright red color of the blood Hua Susu had spit out, finally took out a Foundation Building Pill and placed it directly into Hua Susu's mouth.

Back at the Longxi Auction House, the value of a single Foundation Building Pill was incredibly high.

Yet Ding Fan didn't seem to care about the cost; saving a life was his priority, akin to sending Buddha to the West. Without the Foundation Building Pill for reinforcement, Hua Susu would not have been able to recover her vitality in less than a year and a half.

After Hua Yongqiang had done what Ding Fan asked, he stood guard by her side. Once Hua Susu swallowed the Pill Ding Fan offered, her complexion became rosy and healthy.

At this moment, Hua Susu's eyes gained an added sparkle. She looked as healthy as she had before her illness, no different from the Hua Susu of the past.

Hua Yongqiang, witnessing this, couldn't help but shed tears.

Since Hua Susu became dazed and confounded, Hua Yongqiang had dreamed countless times of his daughter's healthy appearance.

He once thought he would never again see his daughter healthy, given how all the experts and scholars were at a loss to cure her.

But now, within just half an hour, Ding Fan had cured his daughter...

Hua Yongqiang's gaze towards Ding Fan was filled with deep respect...

"Mr. Ding, thank you for treating my daughter. If there was any offense by Hua before, please don't take it to heart," Hua Yongqiang stood in front of Ding Fan, very polite and respectful.

By now, Hua Yongqiang had realized that offering a mere one million to a person like Ding Fan, a hermit high above worldly matters, was practically like insulting him. A hermit of his stature could certainly be no stranger to money.

Therefore, Hua Yongqiang stepped forward quite properly, willing to admit his mistake.

If outsiders saw Hua Yongqiang's demeanor at this moment, it would surely cause a great commotion.

Who was Hua Yongqiang? The head of Dahua Group, a man once received by the Prime Minister of Huaxia Country. Who could have imagined he would show such respect to a twenty-year-old youth...

"Your daughter's illness is nothing serious now, but there are some things I'd like to ask about," said Ding Fan.

Hua Yongqiang nodded.

Hua Susu's illness had been cured by Ding Fan. It wasn't just a matter of answering a few questions; if Ding Fan expressed a desire to marry Hua Susu, Hua Yongqiang would have considered it.

"Mr. Ding, how about we move to another private room? We can eat and talk at the same time," suggested Hua Yongqiang.

The current room was filled with filthy blood and an unbearable fishy smell, surely not a place for conversation. Ding Fan nodded in agreement.

Hua Yongqiang quickly began to arrange things, calling over the server and, after leaving a generous tip, secured another private room.

The blood in the room had to be cleaned up, so skimping on the tip was out of the question.

Hua Yongqiang and the rest chose a rather large private room.

The meal was originally supposed to be hosted by Ye Ningqing's aunt, but Hua Yongqiang insisted on arranging it now.

Hua Yongqiang was quite stubborn, so Ye Ningqing's aunt couldn't really argue with him further.

Hua Yongqiang ordered a table full of dishes right away.

Hua Yongqiang chose all of the restaurant's signature dishes, and in addition to the food, he ordered several bottles of Moutai from the year '83.

Although Ding Fan was not much of a connoisseur of liquor, he knew that this 1983 Moutai was very expensive. In fact, the price of a single bottle might be comparable to the cost of all the dishes on the table.

Once the food and drinks were served, Ding Fan and the others took a few bites.

"Miss Su Su, I'd like to know if you remember who you were with before you lost consciousness," Ding Fan asked after having some food.

Hua Susu was quite easygoing. After considering Ding Fan's question for a moment, she replied, "I remember it was Qian Jun..."

Ding Fan's eyes lit up slightly upon hearing this name.

Other than someone from the Qian Family, who else could implant a mutated virus of the plague into Hua Susu's body?

"Can you recall anything else about what happened then, and can you tell me about it?" Ding Fan asked.

"I remember hanging out with a friend at a bar, and then Qian Jun came. He said he wanted to pursue me, which I firmly declined. After that, I left the bar to go home, and I seem to recall someone patting my shoulder suddenly. When I turned around, I saw Qian Jun's face, and after that, I can't remember anything else," Hua Susu recounted.

"Qian Jun? Su Su, is that Qian Jun the son of Qian Shiwang?" Hua Yongqiang asked, his expression growing sour.

"Yes," Hua Susu nodded.

"Damn him, after you passed out, it was that bastard who brought you back. He claimed you had collapsed on the street, and then he brought you home..." Hua Yongqiang said angrily.

"What did Qian Jun say when he brought Miss Su Su back?" Ding Fan asked, looking towards Hua Yongqiang.

"After bringing Su Su back, Qian Jun sat with me in the living room for a while. He mentioned that his father had just become mayor and needed the support of businessmen like myself to help build Dancheng... Believing that Qian Jun had saved my daughter, I agreed to his request to invest in the development of the western suburbs," Hua Yongqiang explained.

Now Ding Fan recalled the brick kiln he had visited before, located beneath which were thousands, if not millions, of disease-carrying migratory birds.

"There's only one village in the western suburbs, and it doesn't seem to have much investment value," Ding Fan commented.

"At the time, Qian Jun said they wanted to establish several large-scale breeding bases there to improve the living standards of the locals," Hua Yongqiang responded.

Having heard this, Ding Fan roughly understood that the Qian father and son were using the guise of attracting investment for construction to covertly establish the underground breeding base in the western suburbs.

Quite a cunning move.

"Qiangsheng, how much do you remember about what happened before you fell unconscious?" Ding Fan asked.

Mu Qiangsheng did not hesitate, answering directly, "I was on my way home when I just happened to run into Qian Jun..."
