PATGFM Chapter 28 Apology on Knees

Chu Mengyao bit her lip as she looked at Lu Chuan, her eyes carrying a hint of resentment. She tilted her head and loudly exclaimed, "Anything!"

Lu Chuan smiled mockingly. "Wait for me to tidy up, then I'll go with you to save your father."

He went back and collected all the things used to refine the Soul Melting Pill. The pills could be refined again, but Chu Mengyao's promise was not something that could be obtained at any time.

The two hurried towards the old Chu family mansion.

In the courtyard, many people had gathered.

They were all high-level members of the Chu family, rushing over as soon as they heard about Chu Shanhe's condition.

Even Du Zihang, who was deeply frustrated yesterday, was among them.

"My uncle suddenly lost his sight, and only this scoundrel Lu Chuan can cure him. It's very likely that he poisoned him. When he arrives, I will definitely question him!" Du Zihang's expression was cold, his eyes narrowed as if he had seen through the truth.

Before long, Chu Mengyao led Lu Chuan into the yard.

Zhao Haitang immediately approached them and, after examining Lu Chuan with a glance, asked Chu Mengyao, "Is this Lu Chuan?"

Chu Mengyao nodded.

Zhao Haitang looked at Lu Chuan sincerely and said with apology, "Lu Chuan, on behalf of our Chu family, I apologize to you first. Everything is because of the mistakes made by our elder Chu. Our Chu family is willing to compensate you. We hope you can give Elder Chu a chance. If you are willing to help, I will kowtow to you right away!"

With that, she was about to kneel down.

Lu Chuan quickly helped her up, feeling embarrassed. "Aunt, what are you doing? I've already promised Mengyao that I will save Uncle Chu."

Zhao Haitang looked grateful. "Thank you. Once you cure our elder Chu, our Chu family will definitely offer you a great reward!"

Lu Chuan smiled faintly, thinking that having a promise from her daughter was enough.

"I'll go in and check on Uncle first."

Zhao Haitang quickly nodded and led Lu Chuan into the house.

At this moment, Du Zihang suddenly intercepted them, staring at Lu Chuan and shouting, "Aunt, you've been deceived by this guy. My uncle's poison is clearly caused by him!"

Everyone was surprised.

Lu Chuan's face turned cold instantly. "Are you out of your mind?"

Du Zihang snorted coldly. "Don't deny it. Why else would only you be able to cure my uncle's poison?"

Zhao Haitang, with a stern face, looked at Du Zihang and said, "Your uncle was infected with this toxin months ago. It couldn't have been Lu Chuan. You hurry up and go aside. Don't delay your uncle's treatment. There's no good fruit for you if you do!"

Du Zihang suddenly looked embarrassed. He thought Chu Shanhe had been poisoned yesterday.

He coughed lightly and glared at Lu Chuan, scolding, "It's not the best. Hurry up and cure my uncle, or I'll kill you if you fail!"

Anger rose in Lu Chuan's heart. "What did you say?"

Du Zihang, with an air of superiority, said, "I said if you fail to cure my uncle, I'll kill you! You're just a lowly person. It's your honor to cure my uncle. Our noble family is giving you face. Don't you understand?"

Lu Chuan chuckled at the audacity of these noble families. "The higher you are, the greater your arrogance!"

He bowed to Zhao Haitang. "Aunt, I, a lowly person, am not worthy to treat you. I'll take my leave."

With that, he turned and left without hesitation.

Zhao Haitang's face changed, and she hurriedly stopped him. "Wait, Lu Chuan, you can't go!"

Chu Mengyao glared angrily at Du Zihang and shouted, "Are you doing this on purpose? Get out of here!"

She walked quickly to intercept Lu Chuan and said pleadingly, "We had an agreement."

Lu Chuan sighed and turned to glance at Du Zihang, saying, "Have him kneel down and apologize to me, and I won't pursue this matter further."

Du Zihang cursed loudly, "Who do you think you are, asking me to apologize to you? Are you worthy?"

Zhao Haitang's face showed the coldness and dignity of the mistress of the house as she shouted at Du Zihang, "Kneel down and apologize!"

Du Zihang looked defiant. "Aunt, he..."

Zhao Haitang said coldly, "Don't forget, everything you have now is given by our Chu family. If you don't kneel down and apologize, I will not only withdraw my support for you, but also shut down your mother's company. Think about it!"

Du Zihang suddenly panicked. If Zhao Haitang really did that, he would have to live the life of those lowly people in his eyes in the future.

He gritted his teeth and looked at Lu Chuan, cursing him a thousand times in his heart, while also regretting picking a fight with this guy.

"Sorry." After hesitating for a long time, he could only say this perfunctorily.

Lu Chuan smiled and asked, "Can't you understand what I said?"

Zhao Haitang urged, "Don't waste time!"

Du Zihang clenched his fists and then knelt in front of Lu Chuan, reluctantly saying, "I'm sorry..."

Only then did Lu Chuan turn around and walk towards the house.

Zhao Haitang and Chu Mengyao quickly followed.

Du Zihang thought to himself, "You bastard, just wait. Once you cure my uncle, I'll use the power of the Chu family to deal with you!"

In the room, Chu Shanhe lay on the bed, his face calm.

He had heard everything that had happened outside clearly and was starting to regret being so good to this nephew.

Lu Chuan sat down beside the bed.

Chu Shanhe heard the voice and asked, "Lu Chuan?"

Lu Chuan smiled and said, "Yes, it's me."

Chu Shanhe said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have..."

Lu Chuan interrupted, "Uncle, no need to say more. Treatment is the priority."

Then he began to examine Chu Shanhe.

The people of the Chu family gathered around curiously, wanting to know how Lu Chuan would cure this toxin that no one else could.

After a careful examination, Lu Chuan smiled, "Fortunately, the erosion of this toxin is not very severe. I just happened to refine the Universal Detox Pill, which saves a lot of trouble."

He took out a bottle containing the Universal Detox Pill, poured out a pill, and put it into Chu Shanhe's mouth. "Swallow it."

Chu Shanhe immediately complied.

The onlookers from the Chu family were all astonished.

"Such a serious toxin, and just eating a small pill can cure it? Why do I feel like this is a bit like those quacks in the martial world?"

"Yeah, looking at that pill just now, it didn't seem particularly special. Could it be that he doesn't really have a way to treat it and is just bluffing here?"

...

Zhao Haitang and Chu Mengyao both looked worried.

Du Zihang muttered from a corner, "If this guy can't cure my uncle, I'll find someone to deal with him now!"

About fifteen minutes later.

Chu Shanhe felt a glimmer of light in front of his eyes, followed by some blurry images, which gradually became clear.

He blinked hard and found that his vision had returned to normal. A excited smile appeared on his face. "I can see! I can see!"

Zhao Haitang and Chu Mengyao both widened their eyes and then hugged Chu Shanhe tightly, tears of joy streaming down their faces.

The people of the Chu family were shocked.

"It's actually cured, and that little pill is so miraculous."

"It seems we underestimated him. With such a powerful toxin, he cured it with just a small pill. This can only show that his medical skills are superb!"

...

Du Zihang once again inappropriately interjected, "Didn't they say this neurotoxin would spread to the brain? He only cured my uncle's eyes. Who knows if the toxin in his brain has been removed."

The joyful atmosphere was instantly disrupted.

Zhao Haitang looked at Du Zihang speechlessly, feeling a strong dislike for her nephew for the first time.

But she still looked at Dr. Chen nearby and said, "Dr. Chen, please do another examination."

Dr. Chen immediately took the instrument and began to examine Chu Shanhe again.

After some operation, Dr. Chen excitedly said, "The head of the family's body no longer detects any presence of neurotoxin!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lu Chuan with admiring eyes.

Du Zihang muttered to himself, "It's like a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse. This unremarkable guy actually has some skills."

Chu Shanhe got off the bed and bowed earnestly to Lu Chuan, "Lu Chuan, I can't thank you enough. You saved my life, and I will repay you tenfold. Whatever you request, just ask."

Lu Chuan smiled and glanced at Chu Mengyao, saying, "Uncle, you're too polite. I'm just Mengyao's friend, so saving you is my duty. I don't ask for any repayment, just hope that Uncle can approve of me being Mengyao's friend."

Chu Shanhe nodded, "Rest assured, I won't interfere with Mengyao's friendships in the future. But since Mengyao is already engaged to Long Hao, sometimes you still need to be cautious to avoid trouble."

Chu Mengyao bit her lip, thinking that I've already promised this guy, with his level of lecherousness, it's strange if he can be cautious.

Lu Chuan laughed, "I understand."

It's just about being cautious, right? Even with a negative eighteen centimeters, I can still control it as much as possible.

He remembered something and asked, "Uncle, this neurotoxin of yours shouldn't have been accidentally infected, right? Only through prolonged contact can it deepen to this extent. You should carefully think about it. Is there any personal item that might carry this neurotoxin? Removing the source is the safest way."

Chu Shanhe immediately thought, "Personal items, a few months ago..."

He narrowed his eyes, his gaze falling on two walnuts not far from the bedside, "Could it be them?"

These were the gifts Du Zihang had given him three months ago for his birthday.

Du Zihang was thinking about how to use the power of the Chu family to deal with Lu Chuan. When he saw Chu Shanhe suspecting the walnuts he had given, his face changed drastically, and he shouted, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
