The sky collapsed, and in the blink of an eye, I found myself transported to Nanluoguxiang.

Dr. Xu also came over and examined Mr. Chen again.

His face immediately lit up with disbelief, and he exclaimed in amazement, "It actually cured me!"

"What's wrong with you, doctor?!"

The middle-aged woman beside him immediately glared at him and said angrily, "It's bad enough that you made my father's condition worse earlier, but now you're spouting nonsense!"

Political Commissar Chen and another middle-aged man also looked at him with stern faces.

"No, no, that's not what I meant. I just... I just..." Dr. Xu hurriedly waved his hands, at a loss for words.

"Alright, alright, that's enough!"

Old Master Liu turned his head and tried to smooth things over, "Young Xu, is Old Chen's illness cured yet?"

"Alright, Mr. Liu. Mr. Chen is fine now, except for being a little weak."

After replying, Dr. Xu glanced cautiously at Political Commissar Chen and the others, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that their attention was not on him.

At this moment, Old Master Chen recovered and looked at the young man in front of him, giving a weak smile: "Young comrade, you're the one who saved me, aren't you?"

"Mr. Chen, I'm just giving you a quick check-up. The main thing is that you're in good health."

Li Kaixin began to remove the silver needles from his body.

Grandpa Liu watched from the sidelines, thoroughly amused, and completely relaxed.

"Happy young comrade, why can't you get rid of this habit of being too modest! If it weren't for you today, it's hard to say whether this old guy would have survived."

"Grandpa Liu, I don't know how to respond to what you're saying."

Li Kaixin removed the last silver needle and looked up at Old Master Chen, saying, "Alright, Old Master Chen, you can try to stand up now."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Chen tried to move his body.

The middle-aged woman, Political Commissar Chen, and another middle-aged man nearby quickly stepped forward to help him up.

After Old Master Chen regained his footing, he looked at Li Kaixin again, his tone becoming more intimate:

"Happy young man, thank you for saving this old man today. But, since you call Old Liu Grandpa Liu, shouldn't you call me that too?"

"Mr. Chen, I really can't address you like that."

Li Kaixin tucked the silver needles into his pocket. Seeing that Old Master Chen looked puzzled, he went up to him and whispered a few words to the old man.

Grandpa Liu, standing a few steps away, looked on with amusement, and he could guess what it was even without hearing it.

It's probably because of the incident where Old Chen's second son tricked his eldest son, which dragged Li Kaixin into it.

This was something his eldest son had mentioned to him unintentionally earlier.

Commissar Chen, who was supporting his father, became increasingly embarrassed as he listened.

"Old Chen, this is the situation." Li Kaixin said, looking aggrieved.

After hearing this, Grandpa Chen said with heartache, "Good child, I'm sorry you had to suffer like this."

He then glared at his second son, "Guozhu, aren't you going to apologize to Comrade Kaixin?"

Political Commissar Chen felt somewhat embarrassed, especially in front of so many people. But looking into his father's eyes, he sighed inwardly and was about to speak.

"No, no!"

Li Kaixin quickly waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Grandpa Chen, I was just joking with you. Uncle Chen came over to test my driving skills, he was just a bit strict."

He turned to Political Commissar Chen, "Uncle Chen, you agree, right?"

"Yes, yes! Dad, Kaixin is right." Political Commissar Chen took the opportunity to back down.

"I see!"

Old Master Chen chuckled, his tone softening, "But Guozhu, as a leader, you shouldn't be too harsh on your subordinates in the future, understand?"

In truth, he knew perfectly well that what he said at the beginning was probably the truth. This time, he was just saving face for his son.

Thinking of this, he liked this well-mannered and polite young man in front of him even more.

"Understood, Dad!" Political Commissar Chen replied, while giving Li Kaixin a grateful look.

Seeing this, Grandpa Liu spoke up at the right moment: "Alright, alright, Old Chen just woke up, let's help him inside to rest first, don't let him stand here."

"It's alright, my old bones aren't that fragile."

As he spoke, Old Master Chen's gaze fell on Li Kaixin again, and he said in a gentle tone, "Young Kaixin, you'll have to keep this old man company for a couple of drinks later."

Li Kaixin didn't expect that even at this age, the old man in front of him was still thinking about drinking.

"Grandpa Chen, you've just recovered, so perhaps you shouldn't drink any more alcohol."

He quickly offered a word of advice, then turned to Grandpa Liu, "Grandpa Liu, could you give Grandpa Chen one of the medicine I just gave you? I'll give you the rest later."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Liu handed over the entire bottle of medicine without hesitation: "Old Chen, this is a birthday gift from Comrade Kaixin. You're getting a good deal, you old rascal."

"Old Liu, what's this?" Old Master Chen looked at the medicine bottle in his hand, somewhat puzzled.

"Do you know why Old Zhao is in such good health? It's because he ate this. You can give it back to me if you don't want it." Old Master Liu made a gesture to take it back.

"Who said I don't want it?" After taking one pill, Old Master Chen quickly put the medicine bottle into his pocket.

Grandpa Liu watched without saying anything; he hadn't really intended to take it back.

He turned to look at Li Kaixin and smiled, "Kaixin, my whole bottle was stolen. You'll have to make up for it later."

"Okay, Grandpa Liu." Li Kaixin nodded somewhat helplessly.

Seeing this, Political Commissar Chen quickly stepped forward: "Uncle Liu, thank you so much, I'll thank you again next time..."

"Hey! Guodong."

Grandpa Liu raised his hand to interrupt him, "Public matters are public matters, and private matters are private matters. Competition at work is normal. Wasn't your father and I the same before? As long as we don't cross the line, it's fine."

"I understand, Uncle Liu," Political Commissar Chen replied.

Grandpa Liu didn't respond to him, but instead put his arm around Grandpa Chen's arm: "Old Chen, come on, you've been outside long enough, let's go inside!"

The other elderly men also stepped forward to support Mr. Chen on the other side, and then the group of old men slowly walked into the courtyard.

Seeing that Old Master Chen was alright, the people in the distance dispersed.

At this moment, Political Commissar Chen quietly walked up to Li Kaixin and whispered, "Kaixin, thank you for today. What happened before was wrong of me."

"It's nothing, it's all in the past."

Li Kaixin smiled slightly, pointed ahead, and said, "Uncle Chen, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now. Jianming and the others are waiting for me."
