C180 When the Pool Is in Trouble(part I)

On Shanghai Liu Family, Jiang Chen had interacted with quite a few families in this period of time. Lu Family, Lu Family, Zhao Family, Zhang Family, and even Ma Family, he had come into contact with even the Bai Family of the Three Provinces East and South. Only Liu Family, he had only met Liu Lieh, and that was only by chance.

Furthermore, he had heard that because of certain reasons, Liu Family were currently in a state of self-sealing and not entering the mortal world. This also meant that even if the people from their clan were to walk within the Guihai, they would mostly act in a low-profile and rarely show their faces in front of others.

"So Miss Liu was actually someone from Liu Family. No wonder Miss Zhao called me to stammer. I thought it was because she was busy with something that was embarrassing!"

Jiang Chen smiled and shook his head.

"Don't blame Yanqing, Mr. Jiang. I just don't want too many people to know about this."

Liu Jiayu helped Zhao Yanqing explain, but at the same time, she also revealed some problems.

Previously, Jiang Chen had heard that the Liu Family was gradually shrinking. If it wasn't for Old Master Liu's prestige, then it would be very difficult for the Liu Family to hold the position of a first-rate clan in the Guihai.

At that time, he already felt that it was strange. Normally, a clan that used to have powerful military personnel would have their strength plummeted just because of this person's abdication, giving them the feeling that their clan was on the verge of destruction.

Now that he understood the situation, Jiang Chen finally understood.

The outside world had heard that the Liu Family branch could flourish because of Old Master Liu's position in the military. Ever since he abdicated and left, the status of Liu Family branch had decreased day by day.

A few years ago, his Liu Family was one of the top in the several provinces in the southeast, but now he could only shrink his Guihai and become a line of Guihai.

Ever since Old Master Liu abdicated from the throne, Liu Family retracted all of the external forces into their Guihai. They even went as far as self-proclaimed, using an unworldly method to hide the remaining power of their Liu Family.

He seemed to be able to come up with an answer for his actions after knowing about them today.

It was because Old Master Liu had Alzheimer's disease that Liu Family was able to rein in the external forces. They were afraid that once the old man's illness was exposed, Liu Family would be attacked by the external enemies and thus be annihilated.

"It's fine, I don't blame you. I understand your concerns, Miss Liu."

"Hm!" Actually, I have another request for Mr. Jiang, I hope you don't say anything about this. After all, now is the time …! "

Liu Jiayu's request was both a request and a request.

"Don't worry, Miss Liu. I will keep it a secret. As a friend of Miss Zhao, you should understand that I'm not a talkative person."

Jiang Chen replied.

As the three of them spoke, a simple and unadorned courtyard house appeared before them.

This mansion was built in the seventies and eighties of the previous century. A two-meter-tall wall separated the interior of the mansion from the outside world so that no one could see what was inside.

Outside the house was a small forest, and the house was in the middle of the forest, so it could be considered a completely different world.

Liu Jiayu stopped the car in front of the courtyard, rolled down the window and greeted the people inside the sentry post.

The guard post of the soldier. This Old Master Liu was indeed worthy of being the former head of the military. Even after he retired, there were still soldiers guarding the residence!

Jiang Chen sighed in his heart. As expected of someone who had once been a big shot in the military. He would still be majestic even after retiring.

Thinking about it, if it wasn't because Old Master Liu was sick, then Liu Family would still be a heavyweight in the southeast, and there would be no need to shrink into Guihai at all.

And the reason why he hid in the Guihai was because he was afraid that the culprit would know about the old man's illness and use it as an excuse to make a fuss.

Seeing Liu Jiayu had returned, the sentry opened the gate and let her car in.

After entering the courtyard house, an ancient and ancient scent permeated everywhere.

The courtyard was surrounded by a small garden, a small garden, and a few neatly trimmed ornamental plants.

Jiang Chen got out of the car and looked around.

This courtyard seemed to be cleaned and maintained frequently. The entire courtyard was extremely neat and tidy, not even a single leaf could be seen.

"Mr. Jiang, this way please!"

Liu Jiayu led the way in front, while Jiang Chen and Zhao Yanqing followed behind. They walked along the stone path, walking towards the back of the simple and unadorned buildings in the courtyard.

"My grandfather's room is in the back. All the servants and guards live in the front."

Following Liu Jiayu's words, Jiang Chen and Zhao Yanqing walked around the stone path and arrived at a small open courtyard behind the house.

There were about eight or nine people gathered in the courtyard. There were men and women, young men and women, as well as middle-aged men. All of them had worried looks on their faces as they discussed something softly.

"Jiayu, you're finally back, and the old man …" Go in and take a look! None of us will listen to her advice. Just now, she was in a bad temper and chased us out of the house. Now that there's no longer any movement, I wonder how she's doing. "

Seeing that Liu Jiayu had returned, a middle-aged woman immediately walked over and shook her head in distress.

"Aunt, wasn't it fine when I left? "Why is he sick again in less than an hour!"

Hearing that, Liu Jiayu hurriedly walked toward a building in front of them.

"I don't know!" Just then, the servant was about to clean up the room for the old gramps, but he was chased out the moment he entered. When we heard the news, we rushed over immediately.

The middle-aged woman shook her head.

Lili didn't continue asking. She walked to the front of the house and knocked on the door, saying, "Grandpa, it's me, I'm Jiayu. Can I come in?"

No one in the room answered him. Liu Jiayu lightly pushed the door, but it was open.

She walked in and closed the door behind her.

Jiang Chen and Zhao Yanqing were thrown outside, and for a moment, they felt a little awkward.

Seemingly acquainted with Zhao Yanqing, the middle-aged woman approached her and said, "Miss Zhao, it's been a while since we last saw each other, right?"

"Aunt, we haven't seen much of each other since Jiayu moved here."

After all, the person in front of her was an elder of the Liu Family. For the moment, she wasn't sure of his actual size.

"Sigh!" Jiayu must have had a hard time with this child. Oh right, this is …? "

The middle-aged woman looked at Jiang Chen with curiosity.

Liu Jiayu had never had any male friends, and if she was a friend of Zhao Yanqing's, she wouldn't have brought him here.

"Hello, my name is Jiang Chen. Miss Liu invited me here to treat her grandpa's illness …!"

Jiang Chen said slowly.

"Are you a doctor?"

The middle-aged woman frowned and looked Jiang Chen up and down. There was disbelief in her eyes.

The moment Jiang Chen said this, other than Zhao Yanqing, everyone else also cast their gaze at Jiang Chen. They looked him up and down with all kinds of expressions in their eyes.

These people's eyes were filled with surprise, curiosity, worry, contempt, and so on. It was as if Jiang Chen's arrival was an unexpected guest for their family.

Jiang Chen and Zhao Yanqing looked at each other, as if they didn't understand the meaning of these people's eyes.

Jiayu is becoming more and more capable of making a ruckus. Last time, I heard that a famous doctor from abroad wasn't able to figure anything out, and it even angered the old man, implicating us as well. The medical experts that were hired two days ago came twice, and they still haven't thought of any treatment for the old man, and this time again …!2
