The Magnificent Son-in-law
Chapter 1228 - 1228: Qi Smoothing Pill
"No need to be nervous," Xiao Feng said with a smile. "Although I found some issues, they're minor and won't have much impact."
Wei Xiongwei, however, was tense as he said, "For young people, some minor problems naturally don't have much impact, but my father is already at this age, and even minor issues can't be ignored."
Wei Jianhua echoed, "Brother Xiao, I agree with my father. Illness can strike as fiercely as a tiger, better to catch it early and resolve it. Please, Brother Xiao, make things clear."
Xiao Feng nodded first, praising the filial piety of this father-and-son duo, before pulling out Zhao Guo'an's set of ambiguous and worthless rhetoric.
Simply put, this part is weak, that part is too strong, this one is deficient—Xiao Feng's words left Wei Jianhua and Wei Xiongwei both dumbfounded.
But Wei Lan remained calm and composed, looking as if nothing was wrong.
Xiao Feng realized that an old fox like this couldn't be easily fooled by mere words, so he also took out an Antitoxic Pill and gave it over, saying:
"The old master can take a Qi Smoothing Pill I've prepared; it should have some effect."
"Oh?" Wei Lan took the pill, examined it curiously, and said, "Well, thank you very much, young friend."
After saying this, he swallowed it directly, appearing entirely unguarded around Xiao Feng.
Wei Xiongwei instantly became nervous, "Father, how do you feel?"
His nervousness wasn't an act—it was genuine fear of something going wrong.
The transfer of authority within a family, especially one like theirs, isn't as simple as a father verbally handing over leadership to a son.
There are many complexities involved, which aren't easy to articulate in a word or two.
Fortunately, nothing went wrong. After Wei Lan took the pill and carefully sensed his condition for a while, he praised it: "Not bad, I feel much lighter all over, and I don't even want to cough as much."
Wei Xiongwei breathed a sigh of relief, and his words of praise for Xiao Feng came pouring out like a heavy storm.
Xiao Feng nodded with a smile. This Antitoxic Pill, even when taken without actual poisoning, still has a certain effect.
Its effect is akin to those "detox and beauty capsules" that were all the rage a few years ago, clearing out impurities in the body that can't be absorbed or converted into nutrients.
This is why Wei Lan said he felt "lighter all over."
Incidentally, after taking four Antitoxic Pills within a short time this morning, Xiao Feng made several trips to the bathroom while Qi Guanghe was being urgently treated in the emergency room...
Evidently, taking an Antitoxic Pill occasionally is fine, but eating them like candy... you'll soon be running to the toilet.
"Brother Xiao's medical skills are indeed superb!" Wei Jianhua complimented once again.
And Wei Xiongwei couldn't help but ask, "May I ask, does the Qi Smoothing Pill have any side effects?"
"None," Xiao Feng replied while pouring out a pill from the bottle and handing it over, "You can try it yourself."
With that, he also gave one to Wei Jianhua.
The two of them exchanged glances and took the pills.
The Antitoxic Pill melted immediately upon entering their mouths, and soon they both felt a warm sensation throughout their bodies, as if soaking in a hot spring, comfortable and pleasant!
"Truly miraculous!" Wei Xiongwei exclaimed in admiration.
Xiao Feng put the bottle away, contemplating how to price the Antitoxic Pill.
In fact, had he not been planning to make some money, he wouldn't have been willing to give one pill each to Wei Jianhua and Wei Xiongwei.
After all, there's a cost to these things—they're not something you can just plant in the ground and gather for free...
After another round of toasts, Wei Jianhua seemed to remember something and said, "By the way, Brother Xiao, the list of people in Kyoto targeting Jiangcheng that you asked me to investigate, I've already compiled it. It's in this USB drive."
Xiao Feng's eyes lit up as he reached out to take the USB drive, smiling, "Thank you, Brother Wei."
"It's my honor to help Brother Xiao," Wei Jianhua said with a fawning smile.
The saying goes, "You give a peach, I return a plum."
In this matter, Xiao Feng was quite satisfied with Wei Jianhua, and he proactively said, "I remember you mentioned on the phone that you recorded the data after taking the pill, let me have a look."
He didn't doubt for a moment that Wei Jianhua would pull any tricks on him, unless the man didn't want the silkworms to come back to life...
"Sure, sure!" Wei Jianhua said with joy, pulling a folded A4 paper from his pocket. He unfolded it, stood up, and handed it over with both hands.
The way he did it really resembled a eunuch submitting a memorial to the Emperor in a palace drama...
Xiao Feng took it casually and looked it over.
The three generations of the Wei Family held their breath, eyes glued to Xiao Feng's expression, as if fearing any sign of bad news.
After a long look, Xiao Feng furrowed his brows slightly and sighed deeply.
"Young friend, is my grandson's problem very troublesome?" Wei Lan asked gravely.
In other matters, he could remain as steady as a rock, but when it came to the issue of the Wei Family's lineage, he was extremely impatient.
Now, Wei Lan had delegated most family matters to his son, but what mattered most to him was seeing a new generation before he closed his eyes, even just a glance would suffice!
This obsession was most directly demonstrated hours earlier when he saw his grandson well and was moved to tears.
What he didn't realize was that this had left Wei Jianhua with a psychological shadow...
After all, having an old man staring at you and "sniffing and sniveling" can be terrifying, even if he's your grandfather!
"No rush, let me think some more," said Xiao Feng.
Instantly, the Wei Family's three generations fell silent, not daring to breathe, fearing they might disturb Xiao Feng's train of thought.
However, little did they know, what they assumed was not at all what Xiao Feng was actually thinking.
After a long time, Xiao Feng placed the A4 paper with data recorded by Wei Jianhua onto the table, saying, "My previous analysis showed no functional issues.
The problem now is how to achieve autonomous control without relying on medication.
I still need to consult with some experts in the field, but I'll provide an answer as soon as possible."
"Young friend, in your opinion, what are the chances for my grandson to be cured?" Wei Lan couldn't help but ask.
Xiao Feng pondered, "No one can make guarantees here, just as even the simplest surgeries carry a risk of failure."
Wei Lan slowly nodded, acknowledging the validity of this statement.
In truth, if Xiao Feng had assured him fully, Wei Lan would have grown suspicious.
Though he didn't get a definite answer, at least there was a glimmer of hope.
"To be honest, my only hope now is to see one more generation in my lifetime.
If you could resolve this concern for me, I, Wei Lan, promise that no matter what your conditions are, the Wei Family will fulfill them unconditionally!"
