Chapter 492 The World Has Changed

Wang Zhens discharge procedures were quickly completed.

The hospital had long learned that Wang Zhens organs had failed and couldnt live long. The modern medical treatment was of no use at all. The recovery hospital did not want Wang Zhen to die in the hospital, so they were also eager to discharge him. Though the hospital had tried to make Bai Ru take the hint and discharge Wang Zhen by herself several times, Bai Ru turned them down resolutely, hoping to let her husband be treated for a few more days.

Therefore, when the hospital heard that Bai Ru was asking them to discharge Wang Zhen, they would not be gladder to do it. Soon, all the procedures were handled.

Li Mu cast a small confounding spell so that no one else could see what Wang Zhen looked like after he gained his strength. He left the recovery hospital with Wang Zhen on his back and immediately found a four-star hotel outside and checked in.

In the hotel room.

Little Mu, is what you said before true? Can you really cure your uncle? Bai Ru asked nervously.

She feared that all this was just a dream.

Li Mu smiled and said, Auntie, dont worry. Im going to heal Uncle Wang now.

He ran the Cultivation Method and injected the wood qi of Eastern Wood Emperor into Wang Zhens body. In just a few seconds, he cured all kinds of internal injuries, failing organs, and the legs broken in a car accident.

Seeing her husbands cheeks growing ruddier, his face getting younger, his pulse getting stronger, Bai Ru was anxious and excited at the same time. She kept rubbing her eyes to make sure that it was not a dream.

A moment later, Li Mu withdrew his hand.

How is it? Little Mu, your uncle Why hasnt he woken up yet? Asked Bai Ru apprehensively, seeing that her husbands body was already recovering but he still remained unconscious.

Li Mu said beamingly, Auntie, give him a few moments. Hes been in a coma for too long. He has to rest for a couple of hours before he wakes up.

Bai Ru heaved a long sigh of relief.

Now, she had a 100% confidence in Li Mu. After hearing Li Mus words, her heart that had leaped to her throat finally dropped to its old place.

Auntie, your body has been in bad condition these days, too. The loss of your vigor is very serious. I will also treat it for you, Li Mu said. Then, he raised his hand, and a wisp of wood qi of Eastern Wood Emperor shot into Bai Rus body, shuttling between her meridians, slowly nursing her body.

All of a sudden, Bai Ru felt a surge of energy. A stream of cool air flowed through all her limbs and bones. Under the effect of this cool air, the constant pain in her waist and shoulders vanished. She felt unprecedentedly comfortable, and her migraine also disappeared at once.

This is amazing!

After experiencing it herself, Bai Ru found it incredible.

Li Mu smiled.

The damage to Bai Rus body was caused by exhaustion instead of an external injury or organ failure, so a wisp of wood qi of Eastern Wood Emperor was more than enough to cure her, and there was no need for special treatment.

Auntie, please look after Uncle Wang here for a while. Ill go out to buy some food and ask someone to cook some soup for Uncle Wang. When he wakes up, he will need a nutritional supplement. Li Mu stood up with a smile and took his leave.

How can I bother you so much? I Bai Ru was so grateful that she didnt know what to say.

Auntie, no need to be so polite to me. When I come back later, I will tell you about Shiyu in detail. With that, he turned around and left.

In fact, he had chosen to leave for a while on purpose, for Bai Ru would explain everything to Wang Zhen when he woke up.

After Li Mu left, Bai Ru sat alone by the bed, nervously looking at her husband. Holding her husbands hand, she felt the familiar warmth coming from his palm. His hand no longer felt ice-cold as before. So, Bai Ru felt more relaxed than ever and her heart was full of hope.

At this precise moment, her mobile phone suddenly rang.

Mom, whats going on? The people in the hospital said that you discharged my father? Where are you now? Is my father all right? Wang Shiwus anxious and concerned voice came from the phone.

He was Wang Shiyus older brother. He had just graduated from the police school this year and was working in the criminal police team in the high-tech district.

Ah, I was so busy that I forgot to tell you. Bai Ru told him the address of the hotel and said, Everything is fine. Shiwu, dont ask any question. Come to the hotel quickly. I have something important to tell you.

At the door of Ward 1003 of the recovery hospital, Wang Shiwu, clad in a police uniform, hung up the phone with a worried look on his face.

He was afraid that as his father was discharged from the hospital, he might be in great danger.

I didnt get any clear answer when I asked the doctor a moment ago. But now, mom doesnt want to say more on the phone. Could it be that dad has? When he thought of this, his heart gave a lurch.

Brother Wu, dont worry. Maybe Uncle Wang has suddenly woken up and Auntie Wang just took him out of the hospital. Su Yutong, who was wearing a white dress, comforted Wang Shiwu.

She was Wang Shiwus girlfriend. Their relationship was quite good. In the past few years, Su Yutong, who was gentle and beautiful, had been by Wang Shiwus side all the time, supporting and consoling him. Because of her, Wang Shiwu had managed to hold the traumatized family together after his sisters disappearance, his fathers a car accident, and his mothers withering and loss of faith.

Thats almost impossible. Its not like you dont know my fathers situation. Wang Shiwu heaved a long sigh.

Su Yutong said, Dont let your imagination run wild. Ill go with you to the Blessings Hotel first. Well figure out everything then.

Wang Shiwu held her girlfriends hand and said, Tong, thank you. Thank you for being with me through the whole thing.

Su Yutong smiled and placed her head on her boyfriends shoulder, saying, My silly love, I will always be by your side. I wont leave no matter what happens.

The two walked out of the hospital and prepared to take a taxi.

Creak!

Suddenly, a black Mercedes GLC with a local plate number skidded to a stop right before them.

The car door opened, and a woman wearing splendid jewelry and heavy makeup came out from the back seat. She remarked, Tong, Ive been looking for you for a whole day. Why are you here? Why dont you answer the phone? Your mom and dad are so worried!

Second Auntie? Why are you here? Ah, my cell phone is mute, so I didnt notice the calls. Su Yutong took out her cellphone and saw that there were five or six missed calls. She stuck out her tongue in embarrassment and said, Whats the matter?

The middle-aged woman said, There are several important guests in your house now. They want you to go back to entertain them. Come with me Im so worried. How can you still have the mood to stroll around with these miscellaneous people here? The last sentence clearly alluded to her boyfriend.

Su Yutong said in irritation, Second Auntie, what are you talking about Then she looked at Wang Shiwu apologetically.

Wang Shiwu greeted the middle-aged woman extra politely and then said to his girlfriend, Tong, you go back with your Second Aunt first. Your family matter is more urgent.

Su Yutong hesitated for a moment. Having no way to overturn the middle-aged womans persuasion, she said reluctantly, Well, Brother Wu, you go to the hotel first, and Ill contact you later.

In the end, Su Yutong climbed into the car and took off.

Wang Shiwu sighed.

As he watched the luxurious Mercedes-Benz off-road vehicle disappear from his sight, for some reason, an ominous feeling rose in his heart.

Just as he cleared his mind and planned to take a taxi to the hotel, another black Leopard off-road vehicle drove over and stopped in front of him.

As the window rolled down, a middle-aged man with majestic air looked at Wang Shiwu from the drivers seat and said, Wang? You should know me. Get in the car and Ill give you a ride. Arent you going to the Blessings Hotel?

Director Su? Wang Shiwu was utterly surprised. You How do you know that Im heading for the Blessings Hotel?

With a police badge hanging on the Leopard vehicle, the middle-aged man who was driving the car himself was Su Hanwei, Director of the Public Security Bureau in the high-tech district.

Little Mu, something has happened. Mr. Zhang in the village just called and said that there were some unknown people in Randeng Temple. They didnt look like good people. It must be that those who have been deceived by Master Li now come to hunt him down for revenge Mr. Zhang wanted to tell you to hide in the city for now and dont hurry to go back.

At Dongs Flavor Restaurant, Wang Sichao hung up the phone and told Li Mu.

Li Mu was fiddling with his new mobile phone and phone card.

Five years had passed. Communication technology on Earth had been developing rapidly. The iPhones, which dominated the market worldwide five years ago, had been completely outdated and eliminated. Now, those that occupied the dominant positions in the global market were several Chinese brands.

As Li Mu had come back to Earth, it would be more convenient to have a mobile phone.

Therefore, after Li Mu came out of the Blessings Hotel, he found a store and bought a new mobile phone at once. However, since he had no ID card, he had no way to get a phone card. As a result, he had to come to Dongs Flavor Restaurant and ask his old friend Wang Sichao for help.

Hearing Wang Sichaos words, Li Mu gave a smile and was not worried at all.

It was all within his expectations.

On that day, he deliberately asked the villagers to advertise for him, claiming that he was going to take over the position of the old faker. That was actually a move to alert the enemy and draw those hidden forces out. He planned to conduct an entrapment operation and then followed the clues to find out the reason why the old faker left that year.

It would even be possible to find some traces of the old faker.

Okay, then Ill hide in the city. Li Mu smiled carefreely and then asked, Wheres the chicken soup and fish soup I asked you to prepare? Are the dishes ready?

Hey hey, you dont need to worry about your buddys cooking. Im a super chef. Wang Sichao grinned and told his apprentice to take out the chicken soup prepared for Li Mu. He then added, Hey, boy, youre not using my cooking to pick up girls, are you?

Bullsh*t. After Li Mu started the phone and taped in some phone numbers, he said, All right, Ill leave now. Drink with you later.

He figured that by the moment, Wang Zhen, Wang Shiyus father, might have woken up, and Bai Ru might have already explained everything to him, so he should have calmed down.

He left the Dongs Flavor Restaurant and made his way to the Blessings Hotel.

At the same time, Wang Shiwu arrived at the gate of Blessings Hotel by car. He looked somewhat in a trance as he got out of the car.

He was taken aback by the fact that Director Su was the uncle-in-law of his girlfriend, Su Yutong.

At this time, Su Hanwei, who was sitting in the drivers seat, said sincerely through the window, Little Wang, you should think about what I said just now. Im not an old tyrant, and I dont advocate marriage between families of equal social rank. But for Tongs happiness, I advise you to give her up. The world has begun to change. The power of some people is not what we can control. Youd better behave yourself and be satisfied with being an ordinary person. You and Tong are already people living in two different worlds. I came here today to talk so much with you. Its all for your own good.

After that, the off-road vehicle raced away.

In the car, Su Hanwei also sighed a deep sigh.

To tell the truth, he thought quite highly of Wang Shiwu. He was smart, capable, able to endure hardships, very flexible, and talented. He had solved a lot of cases in the Criminal Police Unit since he was recruited only half a year ago. Su Hanwei had not opposed to Su Yutongs relationship with this young man before. But now

Everything had changed.

Compared with that man, Wang Shiwu still had a long way to go.

Just then, his cellphone suddenly rang.

When Su Hanwei saw the number on the screen, he was startled. Regardless of the driving, he picked up the phone and said, Elder sister What? The chief of the army is coming? Already arrived in Baoji City? He is going to Randeng Temple? Okay, okay, I wont tell anybody else No problem, I know where the Randeng Temple is Okay.

After hanging up the phone, Su Hanweis face showed an unprecedentedly serious look.

His older sister had disappeared for more than 30 years and recently mysteriously returned. She had claimed that because of the military discipline, she could not come to see her family for the time being. But now, she had come to Baoji City, and brought the chief of the army with her!

Especially when he heard the name of the chief on the phone just now, Su Hanwei was a little bemused, and he felt his brain was a little short of oxygen. That was a big shot whose name could only be heard in the news!
