Chapter 829: Chapter 829

The elder regained consciousness. Although the family reunion was precious, there were still many onlookers outside. Huang Yingying then went out and informed Wang Ju that the elder had awoken. Seeing there was nothing more to witness, the crowd gradually dispersed.

Wang Ju was deeply concerned and decided to come in for a visit.

At this time, Huang Can was still disguising his appearance with succulents due to the murder case on his back. He wasn't worried that Wang Ju might report him. The main reason was that if Wang Ju truly recognized him, it would only bring trouble to Wang Ju.

After confirming that there was indeed nothing wrong with the elder, Wang Ju chatted for a bit before leaving.

As for Wang Ju's wife, Miao Qin, she did not show her face at all.

However, Huang Yingying and the others knew what kind of person Miao Qin was, so nobody bothered to pick a quarrel with her.

After sending Wang Ju off, Huang Yingying pulled Ding Fan aside to a secluded place.

"Brother Ding, is my mother's illness... not going to last much longer?" Huang Yingying's eyes reddened again as she spoke.

Being reunited with loved ones was indeed a joy, but the thought of an imminent, everlasting separation after such a short reunion made her want to cry.

"The elder's condition is indeed very serious, but it's not to the point where treatment is impossible," Ding Fan replied calmly.

"What... Brother Ding, what did you say?" Huang Yingying's eyes widened in disbelief upon hearing Ding Fan's words.

The elder had liver cancer and had gone through many hospitals, all of which said there was no chance of cure at this stage. During this time, Huang Yingying had also given up on treatment, only wishing for the elder to be happy in her final days.

This was the reason Huang Yingying went to Mali Island to find Huang Can, solely to fulfill her mother's last wish.

But now, Ding Fan was saying that there was a chance for her mother to recover...

It was like seeing a glimmer of hope, a light in the pitch-black night.

"Brother Ding, are you saying my mother's illness can be treated? Is that what you mean?" Huang Yingying asked, full of hope as she looked at Ding Fan.

Ding Fan nodded. "Indeed, it can be treated."

"Oh my God... Brother Ding, if you can cure my mother... If you can, I will... If you can cure my mother, I'm willing to offer everything I have to repay you!"

After saying that, Huang Yingying knelt down on the ground and began to kowtow to Ding Fan earnestly.

In life, the most painful thing is separation from loved ones. The departure of any family member brings silence to the entire household...

That's why Huang Yingying said she would give her all to show gratitude.

However, to Ding Fan, her words were somewhat awkward.

Her everything? Ding Fan was reminded of the time when Chen Yuanyuan instructed Huan Er to look after him with utmost care.

It had indeed been meticulous care...

Huang Yingying seemed to realize the implications of her words and blushed while kneeling on the ground.

"Please get up... I'll do my best to treat her," Ding Fan said, raising his hand from afar.

Huang Yingying felt as though an invisible hand lifted her up.

Having been around Ding Fan, she had seen too much of his 'witchcraft,' so she wasn't surprised by the current events.

At this moment, Huang Can also came looking for them.

"Ding Junior, Yingying, you two are here."

Huang Yingying and Ding Fan were in a small corner, a place usually reserved for young couples to share intimate moments. Being discovered by Huang Can, although there was nothing going on between her and Ding Fan, still made Huang Yingying's face turn red with embarrassment.

"I was discussing our mother's illness with Brother Ding... Brother Ding said that he has a way to treat her," Huang Yingying said, suppressing her awkwardness.

Huang Can didn't notice the change in his sister's expression; he was focused on the fact that there was a way to treat their mother's illness.

"Ding Junior, is there really a way to cure my mother's illness?" Huang Can looked at Ding Fan anxiously.

"The problem shouldn't be too big," Ding Fan said lightly.

Ding Fan, now a Cultivator at the Middle Stage of Golden Core, found treating a common person no great challenge.

"If that's the case, that's wonderful. Ding Junior, from now on, you'll be my savior, and in the future... I will repay you with everything I have..." Huang Can also knelt down to Ding Fan as he spoke.

Huang Yingying, who did not expect her brother to say such words, glanced at Ding Fan and then turned her head and ran away without looking back.

Looking up in confusion at his sister fleeing, Huang Can was puzzled.

"What's wrong with Yingying?" Huang Can asked, not understanding.

"Maybe she's feeling a bit uncomfortable," Ding Fan replied indifferently...

The problem with Huang Can's mother's illness lay in the liver cancer.

If the cancer cells had truly metastasized, then they would be particularly difficult to eradicate, and now that Huang Can's mother was in the late stages, the treatment would be even more challenging.

Considering the situation, Ding Fan thought of using the Water Boiling Method.

The so-called Water Boiling Method involved preparing a large wooden tub, filling it with boiling water and various herbs, then puncturing several major acupoints on the patient with Silver Needles.

After soaking for twenty-four hours, the last of the cancer cells would be expelled using Inner Strength.

Ding Fan took up a pen and swiftly jotted down some names of herbs and other items that needed to be prepared.

After handing the list to Huang Can, Ding Fan also took out five hundred thousand US dollars.

Once upon a time, all this money was taken from the Sankou Group's safe, and they hadn't been spending it lately.

Now that Huang Can needs the money, it's just as well to give it to them.

After all, Ding Fan is not short of money.

Huang Can and Huang Yingying stared at the five bundles of US dollars thrown out by Ding Fan. Even though they were both worldly, they were still taken aback.

$500,000, that's equivalent to 3 to 4 million Huaxia currency. Ding Fan just threw out such a stack of money casually.

But after the shock, Huang Can wasn't too shy to accept the money from Ding Fan.

Now, receiving such favor from Ding Fan, he'll have to repay him doubly in the future.

Immediately, Huang Can took some of the dollars and went to the street, while Huang Yingying took the opportunity to tidy up the house.

The mother had been ill recently, and the house had become somewhat disordered. Now, with everything tidied up, the whole mood would improve as well.

Huang Can returned after being out for more than two hours.

By then, he was carrying big and small bags, plus a large wooden barrel.

After putting down the barrel, Ding Fan began to set up the medicinal ingredients needed for the Water Boiling Method. Meanwhile, Huang Yingying went to prepare her mother, with Huang Can assisting Ding Fan by his side.

It didn't take much time to prepare the medicinal ingredients, and now Huang Yingying had brought the elder over.

"I leave her to you for the next twenty-four hours," said Ding Fan to Huang Yingying. "Whether your mother can be cured or not depends on these twenty-four hours."

Huang Yingying nodded and promised zealously, "Brother Ding, rest assured, for these twenty-four hours, I will definitely not even blink and take good care of her!"

Seeing Huang Yingying's determination, Ding Fan nodded in satisfaction.

Since the Water Boiling Method requires the patient to strip down, it was not convenient for Ding Fan and Huang Can to stay.

Before leaving, Ding Fan took out two third-grade Foundation Building Pills and cautioned that during these twenty-four hours, no food should be consumed, and if one's physical strength couldn't keep up, they should swallow the Medicine Pill.

If others knew that someone was using third-grade Foundation Building Pills as a meal, it would surely shock many to their core.

After explaining all the precautions, Ding Fan finally left the residential building with Huang Can.

It was already dark outside.

"Young Master Ding, it's been so many years since I've been back here. The low-carbon roasted meat here is really famous. How about we go and try it together?" Huang Can suggested at this time.

Ding Fan checked the time.

From morning till now, it seemed he hadn't eaten anything. Ding Fan was at the Golden Core Stage now and relied less and less on food, but after all, Huang Can was an ordinary person, and it would be a problem if he didn't eat.

"Alright, then let's go and have a taste."

With that, Huang Can led the way, and soon they arrived in front of a stall serving barbecue.

This barbecue stall had no real premises; it was just set under an old willow tree with a few tables and chairs casually arranged. Not far away was a grill, with a chubby man grilling things ordered by the customers.

"Wow, I didn't expect that after seven or eight years, this place is still running... it really makes me nostalgic!" said Huang Can as he called Ding Fan to come and sit down.

Soon a chubby middle-aged man came over.

"What would you like to order?"

"Two plates of beef, two plates of lamb, four kidney skewers, a plate of boiled peanuts, a plate of smashed cucumbers! A box of beer!" Huang Can said loudly.

"Alright! Coming up in a bit!" The elder said and went straight to prepare.

"Young Master Ding, the food here is really good; I used to come here often."

Ding Fan smiled and nodded.

Memories always have flavors, and it seems that Huang Can is now savoring the tastes of the past.

Just then, a black sedan pulled up not too far away.

Immediately after the car door opened, a young woman ran out of the car.

But before the woman could run far, another man jumped out of the car and caught up in two steps, pushing the running woman to the ground.

"Sun Wei... You're too much, what are you trying to do?!" The woman looked at the man behind her furiously.

Now, the place where the woman fell was right in front of the headlights, and from Ding Fan's direction, they could clearly see the woman's face.

The woman was quite attractive and looked very beautiful.

Meanwhile, Huang Can, sitting beside Ding Fan, clearly stiffened upon seeing this woman, and his expression became anxious. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱

All of this did not escape Ding Fan's notice.

"Do you know her?" Ding Fan asked indifferently.

"She's... my girlfriend from high school... Xu Yiman." Huang Can's voice quivered with excitement.

In Huang Can's memory of flavors, perhaps there were many associated with this woman.

At this moment, the man called Sun Wei, with an unsteady demeanor, said, "Xu Yiman, do you think you're so pure, or do you think you're so precious? Let me tell you, no woman that Sun Wei desires has ever been able to escape. Tonight, you're mine..."
