Chapter 52 Life Hangs by a Thread, Villainous Instigation
"Second Miss? Second Miss, are you asleep?" The urgent knocking continued, and outside, Butler Su's voice never stopped, "Wake up, the old master is..."

"Click!"

As the door to the room opened, Butler Su's voice abruptly stopped.

However, after seeing who opened the door, Butler Su was stunned for a moment. "You... Miss Shen, it's you? Where is the Second Miss?"

Before today, Butler Su did not know Shen Baisu.

But earlier that afternoon, when the old man spoke with Su Qing alone, Su Yan introduced her to Butler Shen Baisu.

Having personally called the Shen family's old residence beforehand, he naturally knew what it meant to come with Su Qing and share the surname Shen.

She must be the daughter of the Shen family, the richest family in Yaocheng.

Therefore, Butler Su subconsciously adopted a respectful attitude towards Shen Baisu.

"Senior Sister isn't in her room. She said she went out to find medicine for Grandpa Su, and she should be back soon," Shen Baisu answered Butler Su's question, half-truthfully.

Butler Su was completely stunned by Shen Baisu's words, "Looking for...looking for medicine? Is she alone?"

"It's so late, why is she... Isn't she just making a fuss? Can the old man's illness be cured by just finding a medicine or a few herbs?"

Butler Su rambled on for a while, until he remembered the old man's situation again, and then he asked Shen Baisu, "Do you know where the second young lady went to look for medicine?"

"I have to go find her. If I don't come back soon, I'm afraid I won't be able to see the old man one last time."

Seeing Butler Su pacing anxiously, Shen Baisu said, "Don't panic."

"I do know a very skilled doctor who I can recommend to you, but could you please take me to see the old man first?"

Upon hearing Shen Baisu's words, Butler Su seemed to have grasped a lifeline, "Alright, alright, come with me."

Shen Baisu is a young lady from the Shen family.

Although the Su family has some money, it is far inferior to the Shen family. The people and resources that the two families can access are also worlds apart.

The skilled doctors the Shen family knows are certainly beyond their reach.

Therefore, Butler Su subconsciously believed Shen Baisu's words and regarded her as a lifeline.

He rushed Shen Baisu to the old man's room.

The room was in complete chaos.

A doctor was examining the old man, and there were onlookers. Su Yan and her husband Xu Xiang were also standing nearby. Su Yan was trying to shoo people away, but most of them were her elders and didn't listen to her at all.

Seeing this, Butler Su raised his voice and shooed everyone away, "What are you all doing here? Get out! Don't disturb the doctor. What time is it and you're just making things worse? Get out!"

Butler Su chased all the unrelated people out and closed the door.

Then, Butler Su and Shen Baisu came to the bedside.

"Miss Shen, did you insist on coming to see the old man because you wanted to make a video call to your friend?"

"The old man's life is hanging by a thread. Please call that doctor you know as soon as possible and ask if he can cure him."

Butler Su had already come up with a reason for Shen Baisu to check on the old man's condition first.

Seeing that the old man looked like he was about to die, Butler Su began to urge Shen Baisu on.

Upon hearing his words, Shen Baisu simply replied, "Don't panic."

Then Shen Baisu took a few more steps forward and used her divine sense to scan the old man's entire body.

After sweeping, Shen Baisu's expression became subtle. This was a villain trying to kill the old man.

Besides Shen Baisu and the housekeeper, only Su Yan, her husband, and a doctor remained in the ward. After hearing the housekeeper's words, the other three all looked at Shen Baisu.

Su Yan asked even more urgently, "Does Miss Shen know a doctor who can cure Grandpa?"

Shen Baisu's attention was entirely on the old man, so she didn't reply to Su Yan. However, the housekeeper standing next to her nodded to Su Yan.

"That's what Miss Shen said."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiang, who was standing next to Su Yan, turned to look at Shen Baisu and asked, "Ayan, who is this Miss Shen? Is she reliable?"

Xu Xiang felt that Shen Baisu looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her before, so he had to ask Su Yan.

Su Yan did not answer Xu Xiang's question. She continued to look at Shen Baisu and said, "If Miss Shen really knows any skilled doctors, please help me contact them as soon as possible. Thank you."

Butler Su immediately chimed in, "Yes, Miss Shen, we can't delay any longer! Every second wasted could cost the old man his life."

Seeing Shen Baisu standing motionless by the bed, Butler Su was almost in tears.

Shen Baisu had come to her senses. She turned to look at the old housekeeper, pointed to the incense placed by the bedside, and asked, "Who put the incense by the bedside?"

Only then did Butler Su notice the incense placed by the bedside. "Huh? When was this incense put there?"

As he spoke, Butler Su stepped forward and picked up the incense burner that was placed on the bedside table.

Su Yan's eyes were deep and unfathomable. She turned her head to look at Shen Baisu, "Miss Shen, is there something wrong with this incense?"

Shen Baisu took the incense burner from Butler Su's hand, held the incense in her hand, and examined it carefully, turning it over and over. After a moment, she raised her head and nodded to Su Yan, saying, "It is a bit strange."

As soon as Shen Baisu spoke, Xu Xiang, who was standing next to Su Yan, couldn't wait to ask, "What's so strange about it?"

Shen Baisu shook her head, her eyes clear, and said, "I'm not quite sure."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiang frowned slightly, and after a moment he suggested, "Since you don't know either, why don't you let Dr. Luo take a look?"

Before anyone else could speak, Xu Xiang stepped forward and reached out his hand to Shen Baisu, intending to take the incense burner from her hand.

However, before he could touch the incense burner, Shen Baisu dodged it.

Xu Xiang was taken aback, then frowned and looked at Shen Baisu, "Miss Shen, what do you mean by this?"

Shen Baisu: "I'll give it to Dr. Luo."

As she spoke, Shen Baisu handed the incense burner directly to Doctor Luo.

Although Shen Baisu didn't know Dr. Luo, he was the only person in the room wearing a white coat, so she could guess his identity without even knowing him.

Dr. Luo took the incense burner that Shen Baisu handed him, sniffed the aroma emanating from it, and his expression instantly brightened. "It smells wonderful! What brand is this? This is top-quality An'an incense!"

After sighing, Dr. Luo stared at Su Yan and the others with his slightly weathered but still bright eyes, asking, "Who brought this incense?"

Xu Xiang frowned and asked Dr. Luo, "What's wrong with this incense? Is there a problem?"

Dr. Luo nodded repeatedly and said seriously, "There's a problem, a big problem!"

Upon hearing Dr. Luo's words, Xu Xiang's tightly furrowed brows relaxed. He paused for a moment, then said incredulously, "How could there be a problem? This incense is Su..."

Before Xu Xiang could finish speaking, Dr. Luo interrupted, "This incense is top-grade calming incense!"

"It greatly helps the old man's sleep quality!"

After speaking, Dr. Luo looked intently at Xu Xiang and asked him, "Mr. Xu seems to know who put the incense there, so who put it there? And where did they get it from?"

Although Dr. Luo was excited, he vaguely remembered that when he interrupted Xu Xiang earlier, Xu Xiang seemed to be about to say the name of the person who took out the incense burner.
