Qin Chuan grew even more puzzled when Song Yan suddenly thought of something and looked at Song Qingshan to ask, "Grandpa, if I’m not mistaken, it’s because of Qin Chuan’s powerful medical skills, right?"
Song Qingshan glanced at Song Yan with approval and said with a smile, "As far as I know, the reason Tang Zhonghan stole from the Imperial Mausoleum was to obtain a treasured object from within, to save his granddaughter."
"His granddaughter had contracted a very rare disease, which caused her to emit a bone-chilling cold from her body every full moon night, and with each outbreak, she would fall into a deep sleep."
"At first, she would only sleep for three to five days, but later, each time the hidden illness erupted, she would sleep for even longer, until the eruption eight years ago when she fell into a deep sleep from which she has not awakened."
"Tang Zhonghan heard that there was a treasure called the Blood Bead in a certain Imperial Mausoleum that could alleviate his granddaughter’s hidden illness, hence the shocking tomb raiding incidences in Shen Zhou," said Song Qingshan.
When Qin Chuan heard the Blood Bead mentioned by Song Qingshan, his pupils dilated and he looked at Song Qingshan excitedly, asking, "Are you sure, Tang Zhonghan has the Blood Bead in his possession?"
Song Qingshan was somewhat puzzled by Qin Chuan’s excited behavior, but still shook his head, "I only know that he wanted to use the Blood Bead to suppress his granddaughter’s hidden illness; as for whether he obtained the Blood Bead from the Imperial Mausoleum, I am not sure."
Song Yan looked at Qin Chuan and asked, "Qin Chuan, is the Blood Bead useful to you?"
Without explaining anything, Qin Chuan just nodded his head.
The Kunlun Divine Poison was his secret, and since he had awakened part of his memories, he had not told anyone.
Moreover, the Blood Bead, also known as the source of myriad poisons, possesses a very strong toxicity, a kind of toxicity that can preserve a corpse for a thousand years without decay, which is why in ancient times, some of the royal family used it for burial.
The Kunlun Divine Poison in his body, apart from using an antidote, could also be cured by using a poison of equivalent strength—using poison to combat poison was another possibility to break the affliction.
If he could obtain the Blood Bead, perhaps he could completely resolve the Kunlun Divine Poison in his body.
"Qin Chuan, with your medical skills, you can definitely cure Tang Zhonghan’s granddaughter. With Tang Zhonghan’s character of valuing loyalty and gratitude, he will definitely be loyal to you," said Song Qingshan.
Song Qingshan continued, "At that time, he will also give you the Blood Bead. By doing so, you will not only have gained Tang Zhonghan’s loyalty but also the Blood Bead."
Qin Chuan nodded, looked at Song Qingshan with a serious face, and said, "Elder Song, I am truly grateful!"
"Haha, being able to help Divine Doctor Qin is my honor," Song Qingshan said with a big laugh. "Besides, given how many times Divine Doctor Qin has saved my life, what’s this little favor in comparison?"
Song Yan was very happy, as the Song Family had finally done something beneficial for Qin Chuan.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with tenderness.
Qin Chuan quickly regained his composure. He looked at Song Qingshan and said, "Elder Song, Tang Zhonghan is here to kill you because he is repaying someone else’s favor. Do you know who wants to kill you?"
The smile on Song Qingshan’s face faded, and after pondering for a while, he said, "I’ve been paralyzed for many years; if it was really because I offended someone, they would have taken action against me long ago."
">"Them taking action after I had recovered only suggests that they were offended after I regained my health."
">"However, it seems I haven’t offended anyone since my recovery."
His brows were tightly knitted.
Song Jie said, "Grandpa, once Tang Zhonghan arrives, why not just ask him directly?"
Song Qingshan shook his head and replied, "Tang Zhonghan is a man of loyalty and integrity; even if he has repaid the favor to the other party, he would not agree to reveal them."
Song Yan’s beautiful eyes turned, and she suddenly said, "Grandpa, could it be the Black Dragon Commerce Association?"
For a moment, everyone turned their gaze towards her.
She continued, "Last night, you personally went to the headquarters of the Black Dragon Commerce Association, and by the end of it, Zhang Hui was dead; overnight, the underworld forces controlled by the Black Dragon Commerce Association changed hands."
"Zhang Longwang would put all of this on your shoulders, even without any evidence."
"Besides, there aren’t many in Jiangcheng City with enough stature to make Tang Zhonghan owe them a favor; and Zhang Longwang is one of them."
Song Jie quickly said, "I think Xiao Yan’s guess is correct, it must be that bastard Zhang Longwang."
Song Yan then said, "Before this, grandfather had already made a move against Hua Xiong, which proves that grandfather’s strength has been restored."
"Zhang Longwang must be wary of the Song Family becoming stronger and replacing the Black Dragon Commerce Association in Jiangcheng City. Once something happens to grandfather, the Song Family will no longer be a threat. Under such circumstances, he developed a murderous intent towards you, grandfather."
A cold gleam flashed in Song Qingshan’s eyes as he said in a cold voice, "I did not wish to be enemies with the Black Dragon Commerce Association, but since Zhang Longwang wants my life, then the rise of the Song Family will begin with replacing the Black Dragon Commerce Association!"
Suddenly, an aura of supremacy burst forth from him.
Upon hearing this, Song Yan and the others lit up with excitement. If it weren’t for Song Qingshan’s sudden paralysis fifteen years ago, the Song Family would have already become a top-tier prominent family in the provincial city.
It can be said that the Song Family has been waiting for a full fifteen years!
Qin Chuan also silently nodded his head, agreeing with Song Yan’s conjecture. Apart from Zhang Longwang, he couldn’t think of anyone else who would want Song Qingshan’s life.
Just as well, he had Hei Hu kill Zhang Hui, and now there was an irreconcilable feud between him and Zhang Longwang.
If the Song Family could replace the Black Dragon Commerce Association, that would be ideal.
Qin Chuan said, "Elder Song, if there’s anything that I can help you with, just let me know."
Song Qingshan nodded, "Alright, if I need the help of Divine Doctor Qin, I certainly won’t be polite!"
Qin Chuan added, "By the way, Hei Hu, who now controls the underground forces in Jiangcheng City, is my man. I will inform him to coordinate with the Song Family in the operation against the Black Dragon Commerce Association."
Song Qingshan’s eyes immediately brightened as he said with a smile, "So Hei Hu is Divine Doctor Qin’s man. With this, it will be even easier for the Song Family to replace the Black Dragon Commerce Association."
To be precise, it’s not just about the Song Family replacing the Black Dragon Commerce Association, but about swallowing up the Black Dragon Commerce Association’s industry in Jiangcheng City.
Be it the Song Family or the Black Dragon Commerce Association, both are top-tier forces in Jiangcheng City. Once the Song Family swallows up the entire Black Dragon Commerce Association, it’s imaginable how much the strength of the Song Family will surge.
And Song Qingshan himself is an Energizing Skill Grandmaster. Once the Song Family becomes part of the elite prominent families of the provincial city, there will be no difficulty at all.
Qin Chuan stood up and said, "Elder Song, since you are alright now, I’ll take my leave first."
Song Qingshan nodded and said to Song Yan, "Xiao Yan, for the time being, you’ll be Divine Doctor Qin’s driver."
Song Yan understood Song Qingshan’s intention and was happy to comply. She glanced at Qin Chuan with a smile and said, "Alright, grandfather!"
Qin Chuan shook his head with a wry smile. The Song Family seemed determined to send Song Yan to his bed.
Twenty minutes later, Song Yan drove Qin Chuan back to Tianfu Number One.
"Nian Nian, we’re back!"
Just after entering, Song Yan called out with a smile.
But there was no response, she called out again, "Xiao Meimei, are you there?"
Still, there was no reply.
She mumbled to herself, "Could Xiao Meimei have taken Nian Nian out shopping?"
At that moment, Qin Chuan smelled a faint scent of blood.
Quickly, he discovered a pool of blood at the marble foyer and his expression changed drastically.
