Chapter 336: Nightfall in Yandu
When everyone saw the woman in white, they all fell silent.
"Uncle, second uncle, since auntie is so confident, let's give it a try," someone said.
The woman in white smiled faintly and said softly,
"Unless Doctor Xu and the deputy dean are sure they can cure grandfather's illness!"
"I'm not," Xu Yizhen shook his head. "Not to say that I'm not, I don't believe that anyone in this world can be so sure, it's completely impossible."
"Never say impossible," the woman in white seemed to always have a gentle smile on her face, "Just because you can't doesn't mean others can't."
Her words were soft, but they gave off an irrefutable feeling.
"Uncle, I heard your conversation just now outside the door. Make the phone call, let the people over there take the person first," she said.
The woman in white glanced at Pei Hua.
"Okay."
Without saying much, Pei Hua took out his phone and dialed a number...
"Little Yun, the person coming later is that despicable person we talked about, right? I really want to have a good look," she said, sitting in her wheelchair and reaching out a hand to grasp Tang Yun's slender wrist with a smile.
......
Su Chen drove the car and soon arrived at the address Pei Rou had given him. It indeed had a helipad, though quite small, probably only capable of hosting five or six aircraft at a time.
At that moment, there indeed was a plane waiting to take off at any time.
Seeing Su Chen approach, the pilot waved vigorously at him.
"Are you Mr. Su?"
Once Su Chen boarded, the pilot asked.
"Yes," Su Chen nodded.
Then the plane slowly ascended into the air...
Gazing into the dark night, as black as ink, Su Chen muttered,
"So I'm going back just like this?"
Two hours later, the helicopter landed on a helipad in Yandu, which was considerably larger than the one in Jianghai.
As soon as Su Chen got off the plane, he couldn't help but take several deep breaths.
Yandu, unseen for years...
Su Chen couldn't shake off a feeling akin to the apprehension one feels when approaching home, a land so familiar yet so strange!
"Mr. Su, please follow me."
At that moment, a person also dressed in a black suit approached.
Su Chen nodded and then got into a car that had been waiting there. As soon as he sat down, the vehicle slowly started to move forward.
Observing the familiar buildings and scenery along the way, Su Chen lit a cigarette and rolled down the window.
Some places were just the same, some were completely transformed...
Wondering whether those old acquaintances had also changed, Su Chen thought inwardly.
However, he did not intend to meet those people during this visit.
The car soon stopped outside a hospital that looked very upscale. Su Chen followed the driver straight in and arrived at the VIP ward door.
"Mr. Su has arrived," the driver announced respectfully at the door.
"Come in," a voice from inside called out.
Hearing this voice, the driver led Su Chen into the room.
As soon as he entered, Su Chen realized this was a spacious and incredibly luxurious hospital room. If it weren't for the medical equipment on either side of the bed, one might almost mistake it for a high-end hotel.
"Little Su, you've finally arrived!"
The moment Pei Rou saw Su Chen, she immediately ran over excitedly and grasped his hand tightly.
Although Tang Yun didn't speak, her demeanor made it clear that she was also very excited, her beautiful eyes shining with an indescribable light.
The expressions on the faces of the others were not so pleasant, though. They had held some expectations, but seeing the young lad who walked in, those slight hopes dissipated into nothingness...
The associate dean and Xu Yizhen couldn't hide their disdain, judging the young man as useless.
"Mr. Su, calling you here so late, it's truly a bother," someone said.
At that moment, a clear and enchanting voice sounded from behind the crowd, and soon, a woman in white emerged, pushing a wheelchair through the throng.
Su Chen immediately looked towards the source of the voice, and upon seeing the woman in white, felt as if his head had exploded with a bang!
What kind of woman was this!
Su Chen would never use the word beautiful to describe the girl before him, because 'beautiful' was far from sufficient.
If he had to say, she was the epitome of femininity, nothing less than perfection!
She wasn't just extremely beautiful and perfect in figure, but she also embodied multiple perfect traits simultaneously!
Cold yet passionate; noble yet ordinary; innocent yet enchanting—these completely contradictory qualities and emotions were perfectly blended on that breathtakingly beautiful face.
It was as though she was born to be this way!
This kind of girl, no, woman, was someone Su Chen had never encountered before!
The only pity was that her body was disabled; otherwise, she wouldn't be sitting in a wheelchair.
Perhaps even the heavens thought that making her so perfect, so stunning, so much a theft from the creation of heaven and earth, that they deliberately left a small flaw.
"Mr. Su?"
Seeing Su Chen a bit lost in thought, the woman in white called out softly.
"Oh, it's just a lift of my hand, no thanks needed," Su Chen replied after hearing her voice, back to his normal demeanor.
The other people from the Pei Family looked on without any expression; they were long used to such reactions.
This young man wasn't the first, nor would he be the last. It would be odd if a person, man or woman, didn't react upon seeing her!
However, a sharp light flashed in the beautiful eyes of the woman in white as she looked at Su Chen. Almost all men who saw her for the first time experienced desire, inferiority, or some other emotion.

But what they would never have was indifference!
And that even applied to the proud son of Heaven from the Shen Family, revered by the entire Yandu!
Normally, such a common word, yet sometimes it's the rarest thing!
Yet there, the man before her, after an initial shock, had managed just that, his demeanor instantly settling back to normal.
Indeed, there was nothing particularly intense in the way he looked at her now, at most just a faint appreciation.
This was an expression she had never encountered in other men.
This inevitably roused a slight interest in her towards the man before her, but that was all!
"Then, I shall impose upon Mr. Su to examine my grandfather," the woman in white said with a smile.
"Alright!"
Su Chen agreed, then turned his gaze to the hospital bed.
However, as soon as he saw the old man lying on the bed, his expression immediately turned cold...
