Chapter 248 Talking about Old Master Tan poking into Old Master Shen's lungs

Mr. Tan had a bullet in his back. Because of the unusual location, there was a 50% chance that the surgery would be successful, but there was also a 50% chance that it would cause complete paralysis of his lower body.

If he were still young, in his early twenties, he might have taken a gamble.

But now that he's reached this age, he doesn't want to trouble his children and grandchildren anymore.

No surgery was performed.

For years, I've been relying on painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs to get by.

As long as you don't travel very far, your movements are unrestricted.

However, Mr. Shen was truly incapacitated, with injuries to his kneecaps and shinbones hindering his mobility to the point that he could barely move.

In winter, I am tormented by pain even more.

A place like Baoyi City, with its relatively humid air, is not conducive to his physical recovery.

In addition, given his age and the three-day, two-night train journey, even though he had berthed in sleeper cars the entire way, his complexion was still not good, showing deep fatigue.

Now, with Old Master Tan constantly poking at his lungs, his face turned even more pale.

Tan Hongwei watched as his old man, holding a small knife, stabbed people in the chest repeatedly, making the people's faces look terrible. Fearing that something serious might happen, he came over and pulled Tan's old man away.

At the same time, he coaxed softly, "Dad... it's cold outside, let's go into the hotel first, we can talk about it inside."

"Yes, Dad, let's go inside first. It's too cold outside, and Uncle Shen's health can't take it."

Dou Yufeng knew a little more from Shen Qingyan than Tan Hongwei. She also disagreed with what Old Master Shen had done, but how should she put it, it wasn't their place to seek justice.

They haven't even finished cultivating their own small plot of land yet.

The outdoors in Baoyi City is indeed not as good as in Kyoto; the damp, cold wind carries a bone-chilling cold.

Although Old Master Tan was always eager for a good show, he wanted to poke at Old Master Shen's heart, to see the stubborn old man's expression change so he could make a fool of him, rather than actually wanting to harm him.

Seeing this, he put down his 'stick' that was stabbing people in the heart, took the cane handed to him by Tan Qian, and took small steps toward the hotel entrance.

The two greeters at the hotel entrance had already noticed the commotion.

Upon seeing the car they were driving, they initially thought it was Shen Qingyan.

They only realized it wasn't true after the person got off the bus.

However, seeing that they were chatting and catching up, they wisely refrained from disturbing them.

Now that both sides had finished speaking, he quickly came forward to greet them.

The hotel that Qiao Changdong took over was very impressive for that era. It was a five-story building with a main entrance that was more than 20 meters wide, and there was a fountain, lawn and a dedicated parking lot in front of it.

Once you enter through the second door, the interior becomes even more luxurious.

As soon as Dou Yufeng entered the hotel, she began to observe it. It was her first time entering such a grand hotel, and she looked at the magnificently decorated lobby with a somewhat surprised expression.

Are the Qiao family, who adopted the adorable child, really that rich? They can afford such a nice hotel.

When Qiao Qiao gave her home address, she thought she was just an ordinary rural person.

Even after learning from Shen Qingyan that Qiao Qiao's adoptive father owned a hotel.

She didn't pay much attention, assuming it was just an ordinary guesthouse.

I never expected it to be such a grand hotel.

With a somewhat wistful expression, she walked to the front desk. When the hotel staff asked if she wanted to check in, she said directly, "Hello, I'd like to find the owner of your hotel, Qiao Changdong. I'm Dou Yufeng, the aunt of his daughter Qiao Qiao. Could you help me find him?"

Dou Yufeng was negotiating with the receptionist at the front.

Grandpa Tan winked at Grandpa Shen from behind: "Old buddy, what do you think of the character 'qiao'? Doesn't it sound nice?"

"???" Old Master Shen looked at Old Master Tan with a puzzled expression.

He didn't know that his granddaughter's name was Qiao Qiao, nor did he know that the person who adopted her was Qiao Changdong.

I thought these were the relatives the Tan family was visiting in Baoyi City.

His expression was indifferent, and he uttered two words without any change: "Not bad."

The old man chuckled and said, "Is it alright?"

He shook his head and said, "But I think it's quite good, Qiao Qiao, it sounds so nice."

"..." Old Master Shen glanced at him.

He still didn't pay much attention, after all, in his eyes, Grandpa Tan had always been like this, and he just assumed that he was having another episode.

As soon as Dou Yufeng finished speaking, Wu Yunkai, who was coming out of his office, overheard her and walked over with a look of surprise.

Qiao Changdong and Yan Liti left suddenly.

But even so suddenly, Qiao Changdong still gave him some instructions, including the matter of the three Jiang family members and Dou Yufeng's possible visit.

Yan Liti, in particular, should have personally gone to Wushi to thank Dou Yufeng at the Tan family's house in Cishui Village and given them the promised reward. That would have shown her sincerity.

But when Qiao Qiao first came back, she couldn't bear to leave her.

Then he left so suddenly that he didn't even have a chance to go to Wushi to thank the people there.

And with such a large sum of money, Shen Qingyan couldn't possibly have brought it with him when he went to see Qiao Qiao.

The matter of payment had to be put on hold for the time being.

However, knowing that Dou Yufeng might come, but the time was uncertain, Qiao Changdong had already instructed Wu Yunkai to keep an eye out and, if any female comrade surnamed Dou came looking for him, to notify him immediately and to treat her well.
