After feeding, Li Li and her daughter stepped back, allowing Zhou Xuan to come forward. Zhou Xuan still used his left hand to take Li Jiangfu's pulse. While it appeared to be taking his pulse, he was actually using ice energy to stimulate Li Jiangfu's bodily functions. Then, he used the medicinal properties of the bead powder to help his stomach absorb it. The tricky part was the recovery of his kidney function, which required the ice energy to work its magic.
The icy energy circulated back and forth in Li Jiangfu's kidneys, where a large portion of the cells had already died and were no longer functional. Zhou Xuan had to use the icy energy to force them off and then stimulate their growth to regrow new cells. The powdered bead, however, did have some effect.
Zhou Xuan's process lasted about ten minutes. However, outwardly, he continued in the form of taking a pulse.
Li Li, her mother, and Zhou Tao all looked at Zhou Xuan strangely. The simple act of taking a pulse lasted for over ten minutes; they couldn't see what significant effect it had. However, Zhou Xuan seemed very tired, his eyes closed as he took the pulse, sweat pouring down his forehead.
Li Li quickly went out and grabbed a towel, gently wiping Zhou Xuan's forehead. The moment the towel touched his forehead, Zhou Xuan opened his eyes, released his hand, took the towel from Li Li, and said with a smile, "I can do it myself!" He wiped his sweat and then said, "Li, your father's body is too weak. The effects of that dragon fish pearl powder have kicked in. Once the effects wear off, he'll probably wake up soon, and his kidney function will recover somewhat. He'll definitely urinate after waking up. After he goes to the toilet, give him some thin porridge. Just half a bowl is enough, and then you can increase the amount gradually tomorrow. I'll come back to check on him in a few days."
When Zhou Xuan said this, Li Li and her daughter couldn't believe it. Li Jiangfu's uremia had progressed to the late stage, his kidney function had completely disappeared, and he couldn't urinate at all. During his hospitalization, the hospital made an incision in his lower abdomen and connected a tube directly to his intestines to drain urine.
Later, unable to afford the exorbitant hospitalization costs and facing an incurable terminal illness, Li Jiangfu didn't want to burden his already impoverished family. He insisted on being discharged; since he was going to die anyway, he figured he might as well save some money and die at home.
So when Zhou Xuan said that Li Jiangfu would wake up and need to urinate, neither the mother nor the daughter believed him, because Li Jiangfu simply couldn't urinate.
Unbeknownst to them, while they were outside retrieving the beads with Zhou Tao, Zhou Xuan had already used his icy energy to regulate Li Jiangfu's stomach and kidneys. After feeding him the pearl powder medicine, he received further treatment. In reality, Li Jiangfu was practically indistinguishable from an ordinary person at this point, only weak. Zhou Xuan didn't want to overdo it. There was no need to directly restore his body to a high level. It would be shocking and arouse Li Li's suspicions, and it would also deplete his own icy energy. It was best to cure Li Jiangfu's illness and let him recover slowly. There was no need to excessively deplete his icy energy; doing so would only allow Li Jiangfu to return to a normal life ten days or half a month earlier.
already.
Zhou Xuan didn't say anything more and took the lead in leaving the bedroom. Zhou Tao naturally followed him. The two brothers sat in the shop outside, looking at the fish in the fish tank and the fishing gear, but they had nothing to say. Zhou Tao was worried about Li Li's father's illness and didn't know if it would help.
A few minutes later, the two heard a gasp from the inner room; it was Li Li's mother's voice. Then came the sound of a bowl falling and shattering on the floor.
Zhou Tao couldn't help but stand up and rush inside. Zhou Xuan grabbed him and said, "Forget it. Don't go in. It won't be convenient for you if you go in."
Zhou Tao paused for a moment, then slowly sat down and remained silent.
Zhou Xuan heard Li Li's mother's voice, which was a gasp of surprise, but there was also an element of joy in it. It must be that Li Jiangfu had woken up and needed to use the restroom, which was why Li Li and her mother were both surprised.
Although Zhou Xuan had said that, they didn't believe it. However, as soon as Li Jiangfu woke up, he really needed to go to the toilet urgently, which made the mother and daughter unhappy.
Li Li's mother quickly helped her husband to the toilet. After a while, she helped Li Jiangfu out and then lay back down on the bed.
Li Jiangfu said, "I'm so hungry!"
Li Li and her mother were truly overjoyed. Going to the toilet and wanting to eat are things that a late-stage uremia patient shouldn't be doing. What does this state of affairs indicate?
Although Li Jiangfu said he wanted to eat, he was still too weak and tired. He lay down to catch his breath and rest, and Li Li's mother quickly came out of the kitchen to make him some porridge.
Li Li came out of the shop in a daze, looking at Zhou Xuan with surprise and bewilderment, not knowing what to say.
At this moment, silence spoke louder than words. Zhou Xuan didn't say anything either, but smiled and pulled Zhou Tao out of the store.
After realizing what was happening, Li Li hurriedly chased after him, calling out, "Brother Zhou, Brother Zhou Chuan!"
Zhou Xuan turned around and waved his hand. "Xiao Li, take good care of your dad for a few days. Don't worry about anything else. Wait until your dad is better and has recovered before thinking about anything else. Go back now, we won't bother you any longer!"
Li Li stood there, watching them walk quite a distance. Zhou Tao also wanted to turn back and look, but was worried that Zhou Xuan would laugh at him.
Zhou Xuan reached out and patted him, then comforted him, "Brother, have more confidence. If you like her, you should have the confidence to bring her back. There's nothing a man from the Zhou family can't do. Don't worry, I guarantee Li Li will come to work at our store."
“But she,” Zhou Tao said hesitantly, clearly lacking confidence, “is a college student. And me…” Zhou Xuan chuckled and said, “Don’t you think your sister-in-law is pretty?”
"Beautiful! My sister-in-law is just like a fairy in a painting, so beautiful and kind-hearted!"
Zhou Tao answered honestly.
"Am I highly educated?" Zhou Xuan glanced at Zhou Tao and said with a smile, "Your sister-in-law comes from a good family and graduated from a prestigious American university. As for me, I only have a high school education. So why does your sister-in-law insist on being with me?"
"This..." Zhou Tao scratched his head, somewhat puzzled, and said, "My brother's a good guy, what else could it be?"
"That settles it!" Zhou Xuan patted his shoulder. "You're just as good. Any girl with eyes can see that!"
Zhou Xuan didn't mention other things, such as conditions, which might be an important reason. Based on his current development and foundation, his younger siblings' assets will all exceed 100 million in the future. He has both the conditions and the character; what more is there to say? He's already arranged the time and opportunity. If Li Li doesn't like Zhou Tao, then there's nothing to say. But who can predict the future?
Woolen cloth?
Unfortunately, while the ice-based superpower is powerful, it cannot detect other people's thoughts or predict the future.
When I got back to the shop by car, I saw quite a few people inside, including ** and Lao Wu. My father, Zhou Cangsong, was sitting in the customer seat.
There were four or five other people nearby, including a middle-aged man in a police uniform. I didn't recognize any of them.
Upon seeing Zhou Xuan, she quickly pulled him to a seat and introduced him, "This is Zhou Xuan, the largest shareholder and owner of our Zhouzhang Antique Shop."
The policeman and another slightly overweight middle-aged man quickly stood up, their faces beaming with smiles. They both extended their hands and introduced themselves.
"I am Zhou Yucheng, the head of the local police station. Hehe, there's been some misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."
The slightly overweight middle-aged man quickly approached after Zhou Xuan shook hands with Zhou Yucheng, awkwardly extending his hand and saying, "Boss Zhou, I'm Chi Lanshan. It's a misunderstanding!"
Is this Fatty Chi?
Volume 1, Chapter 142: Seventy-Seven Pieces of Shrapnel in the Body
Chuan looked at the group of middle-aged, fat men with diagonal eyes in front of him. These were Chi Gang, the fat man who had used underhanded tactics on them!
Zhou Xuan shook hands with him without making a sound, then sat down and asked his younger brother Zhou Tao to make tea.
Fatty Chi quickly stood up and said, "I think it's better if I treat everyone to a meal out, so we can all have a good time?"
Zhou Xuan saw the worried yet humble look in Fatty Chi's eyes. Needless to say, this guy must have been extremely frightened. He didn't know if it was because he had revealed Brother Hong's identity or what. Judging from the expressions of Fatty Chi and Director Zhou Yucheng, they must have been under strong pressure from some side, otherwise, this would never have happened.
Zhou Xuan looked at his father, Zhou Cangsong, who was dressed neatly from head to toe, and asked, "Dad, are you alright?" Zhou Cangsong quickly shook his head and said, "I'm fine, I'm perfectly fine!"
Zhou Xuan was mainly concerned with whether his father, Zhou Cangsong, had been wronged. It seemed alright; he hadn't received any special treatment. Otherwise, the matter wouldn't have been so easily resolved. However, since nothing serious had happened, Zhou Xuan didn't want to escalate the situation. After all, in business, harmony was essential for making money.
Moreover, judging from the expressions of Zhou Yucheng and Fatty Chi, they seemed to have been greatly frightened. If the people on the boat were brought out, Zhou Xuan would not be surprised by this outcome.
