Chapter 239 Waiting for my news
After a pause, Senior Brother Leng forced a meaningful smile on his pale face.
“The medicine is good.”
All of Fei Jie's disciples were like this. They often made and created various poisons by themselves and tested them on themselves. Fan Xian was the same, so he was not surprised at all, but just a little curious.
"Brother, didn't you make the antidote?"
Senior Brother Leng looked a little embarrassed and replied with a forced smile.
"Failed, failed, the poison is even worse."
"..."
Fan Xian felt inexplicably happy and quickly went forward to tuck the corner of the quilt for him.
"Oh, you've worked hard, brother."
Senior Brother Leng invited him warmly.
"When I get better, I'll treat you to a meal. I'll cook for myself."
Upon hearing this, Fan Xian quickly took a step back and stretched out his hand.
"No, no, no, that's not necessary, ah."
Poisoning each other in food is an old tradition in their family. Fan Xian felt a little intimidated.
Senior Brother Leng was very easy to talk to. He didn't force himself to agree. He pulled the corner of his mouth and reluctantly said "OK". Suddenly, he felt the pain in his body become more intense. His face began to twitch in pain.
"I, I'll take a rest first."
After saying this, without waiting for Fan Xian's response, he quickly straightened his head and closed his eyes.
Seeing this, Fan Xian said nothing and returned to his original position.
After his fellow disciples finished their greetings, Chen Pingping began to get down to business.
"Now that we know each other, I'll get straight to the point."
Chen Pingping glanced at everyone and said lightly.
"Someone set up a trap in the yard today to kill me!"
When these words were spoken, everyone except Xuan Jiu, who was unaware of the situation, was shocked and looked at Chen Pingping with shrinking pupils. No one else reacted.
Chen Pingping's tone suddenly became relaxed again, and he tilted his head to look to his side.
"Fan Xian saved me."
Mei Chengan: “…”
Although I knew this would happen, I was still speechless when I heard these words coming out of Chen Pingping's mouth so openly.
Alas, some parents really have no bottom line in order to praise their children.
Not to mention Mei Cheng'an, even Fan Xian himself stared at Chen Pingping with wide eyes, saying nonsense without thinking. Although he pushed the credit to him, it was still...
Thinking of this, Fan Xian looked at Mei Chengan and Yingzi again. Don't you two have any objections?
Shadow naturally had no objection and just folded his arms and shrugged.
Mei Chengan rolled his eyes and said, "What are you looking at? Can't you see that I'm trying to flatter you? Just stay here quietly, finish the performance early, and go home for dinner early. Please cooperate with me, thank you."
Fan Xian felt very embarrassed when he received the cold stare and couldn't help but touch the tip of his nose.
In response to Chen Pingping's ridiculous remarks, only one person at the scene bravely stood up and refuted them, and that person was Zhu Ge.
He just said in a daze.
"It was Shadow, Mei Cheng'an, and his maids who did it. I saw it all..."
Unexpectedly, the shadow behind him suddenly said something.
"You're mistaken."
hiss~
Zhu Ge immediately turned his eyes and looked back at him. I spoke for you impartially and frankly, and you said to me, "Am I seeing things? Did you take the wrong medicine?"
Mei Cheng'an moved to the side quietly to avoid blocking Zhu Ge's view.
Shadow's betrayal and attempt to call a horse a zebra is really too much. Just glare at him, it won't be unfair even if you glare at him to death.
It's fine if the bird doesn't talk, but you can't be so disrespectful to others.
Just as the two people's eyes met, Chen Pingping spoke again, attracting Zhu Ge's attention again.
"I'm old, and Fan Xian can take over my job in the future. Please take good care of me."
As expected, Fan Xian's eyes widened again.
Upon hearing this, Yan Ruohai, who had been silent as if invisible, raised his eyes, as if he had finally waited for the topic that interested him.
Shadow crossed his arms and showed no reaction.
Xuan Jiu tilted his head and put down all the books.
Mei Cheng'an crossed his legs, leaned forward with his elbows on his knees and his chin resting on his body, looking at Zhu Ge with interest, waiting for him to continue speaking.
The only interesting thing about this segment is the language battle between Zhu Ge and Chen Pingping. Mei Chengan is looking forward to it.
Zhuge didn't let him wait too long. Today, ridiculous things happened one after another. He had no idea how to deal with it. It would be too hasty.
"Fan Xian has only been in Kyoto for a short time, and he hasn't even recognized everyone yet."
Chen Pingping said with a smile.
"People can take their time to recognize me. I'm not backing down now."
"..."
Is this the point?
Zhuge couldn't help but stand up.
"President, the Supervisory Council is the most important place in Qing Country. Not everyone can take over!"
Zhu Ge frowned and pointed at Fan Xian.
"I think Fan Xian is not qualified!"
Well said! I hate connections the most. I like your courage and honesty!
Mei Cheng'an gave Zhu Ge a thumbs up in his heart.
Chen Pingping looked at him with an unchanged smile.
"Did you make a mistake?"
As Chen Pingping spoke, he scanned each person and continued.
"I'm not here to seek your opinions, I'm just reporting."
Zhu Ge frowned and was about to step forward to express his objection, but was stopped by Yan Ruohai.
Zhuge looked back at him, thought about it, and finally reluctantly suppressed all the words in his heart.
Mei Cheng'an sighed in his heart, why are you pulling others into this? He doesn't speak himself and doesn't allow others to speak. How annoying.
Senior Brother Leng, who had been lying on the bed to rest, now forced himself to stay together, pinched his throat and raised his head to express his opinions on behalf of the three departments.
"I think it's great. No matter what happens elsewhere, we three will definitely support our junior brother!"
After saying this, Senior Brother Leng almost rolled his eyes and quickly lay back down and closed his eyes again.
Seeing this, Mei Chengan gave him a thumbs up in his heart. He is also a ruthless person.
Zhuge sighed, turned his head to the other side, and sat back.
Seeing that no one spoke, Chen Pingping began to make a final summary.
"I'll say this one last time! This matter is settled and will not be changed. If anyone disagrees, find a chance to kill me!"
The last sentence was full of chill, and everyone fell silent. "Disperse!"
Following Chen Pingping's order, Zhu Ge and Yan Ruohai were the first to stand up and walk out.
Xuan Jiu put away the book and followed closely behind him, but took another passage.
Mei Cheng'an also stood up, walked to the small steps in the middle for people to go up and down, and stepped down.
After coming down, he greeted Fan Xian.
"I'm leaving first."
Fan Xian really wanted to go with him, but he was completely confused by Chen Pingping's actions today. He had a lot of questions waiting to be answered in person, so it was impossible for him to go.
After thinking for a while, Fan Xian said.
"Tell Teng Zijing that I'll be here for a while. It's so late. In case the city gates are closed, ask him to drive the carriage home first. It's not far from home. I can walk back when I'm done."
"Oh, let's go!"
Mei Chengan waved at him and Chen Pingping.
"Let's go, there's so much nonsense."
Shadow grabbed his arm from behind.
Mei Cheng'an rolled his eyes at him, patted his clothes, and followed him out of the council hall.
……
A corridor leading to a place.
Zhu Ge and Yan Ruohai walked side by side.
Words are like the road of the sea.
"The hospital has gone through many ups and downs over the years. I originally thought that you would take over as dean in the future."
Zhuge stopped and stared at him with a frown.
Yan Ruohai then stopped and continued speaking to Zhu Ge.
"The dean's decision today is indeed chilling."
His tone was not angry, but his words seemed to be expressing his feelings for him. Unfortunately, Zhuge was not interested and it was too obvious that he was adding fuel to the fire.
"Yan Ruohai, there is one thing I want to make clear. I am not trying to fight for power. I, Zhu Ge, am not capable of sitting in that position!"
"I see."
Yan Ruohai said this casually but was interrupted by Zhu Ge.
"You don't understand! Everything I do is for the country of Qing!"
Yan Ruohai changed his words, but the substance remained the same.
"I know."
This time, Zhuge was too lazy to confront him.
"I have seen the bodies of those assassins today!"
Yan Ruohai commented.
"They are all very daring."
Zhuge looked at him coldly.
"Yes, several of them have been in close contact with you recently!"
Yan Ruohai suddenly smiled and asked back.
"Why didn't you say anything just now?"
"I…"
Zhu Ge was speechless for a moment. He did remain silent at that time. He himself couldn't explain the specific reason. There were too many factors involved to explain clearly.
But no matter what the reason was, Yan Ruohai had no right to question him, after all, he was the one who saved him.
So Zhuge simply ignored the question and asked angrily.
"Yan Ruohai, what exactly are you going to do?"
Yan Ruohai said lightly.
"Like you, I make all my decisions for the sake of Qingguo."
What I said was the truth, but what Yan Ruohai said was obviously an excuse, trying to fool a fool!
Knowing that he couldn't get the answer, Zhuge didn't bother to ask any more questions. He just turned around and left. His movements were quick and decisive without any hesitation.
Yan Ruohai turned around, looked at his back and blinked.
……
Chen Pingping's office.
As soon as he entered the door, Fan Xian couldn't wait to ask
"why?"
Chen Pingping was pushing his wheelchair by himself and tilted his head when he heard this.
"What is it you're asking about?"
Fan Xian walked up to him.
"You clearly know that I didn't do anything, so why do you say that I saved you? Also, why did you hand over the Overwatch Council to me?"
"It was Shadow who took the initiative to test you. This is good. We can make everything clear."
Chen Pingping answered two questions in one sentence.
Fan Xian said frankly.
"Zhuge is right. I am not qualified yet."
Chen Pingping looked at him without comment and said in a gentle voice.
"This Supervisory Council was founded by your mother. I have been guarding it for her all these years."
Having said this, Chen Pingping stopped looking at him, looked deeply in a certain direction, and continued speaking in a low voice.
"I will return this yard to you eventually."
When mentioning his mother Ye Qingmei, Fan Xian's tone became much weaker.
"Times have changed."
Chen Pingping said quietly.
"Time has passed, but my original intention remains unchanged!"
"..."
……
"The matter of becoming a disciple..."
Mei Cheng'an was speechless. It was too hasty.
"I'll tell them when I get back that this matter can't be rushed. Wait for my news. You should get their identities sorted out first."
Shadow wondered.
"In fact, you can put them in the Supervisory Commission yourself, why do you have to let me do it?"
……
