Chapter 24 Young Master
Xiao Xingtian walked around Long Chen, then stared at him without blinking.
The expression made Long Chen panic for some reason. Long Chen had no idea what Xiao Xingtian meant by looking at him like that.
"Mr. Xiao, if you have something to say, you can say it. It makes me a little nervous when you look at me like that," Long Chen said with a wry smile.
"Dr. Long, I have two questions to ask you. I hope you can answer me truthfully. Can you do that?"
Xiao Xingtian stared at Long Chen.
"Of course."
Long Chen nodded.
Meanwhile, Gu Changming and Gu Xiao were both confused. They could only watch in silence because they didn't dare to interrupt Xiao Xingtian.
Xiao Xingtian looked at his chauffeur, Xiao Zhang, and hesitated to speak.
The driver, Xiao Zhang, understood immediately and left.
Xiao Xingtian stared at Long Chen and asked his first question, "Mr. Long, is your family's ancestral home in Seven Star City? Is it possible that it's somewhere else, such as the Imperial City?"
"No, as far as I know, my family has been living in Seven Star City for generations," Long Chen said.
"Alright, the second question, which is also the most important question, what is your grandfather's name?" Xiao Xingtian asked in a low voice.
"My grandfather has already passed away. I don't want to call him by his name," Long Chen said, gritting his teeth.
"It's fine if you don't want to say it. Let me say it. If I'm right, please nod your head. If I'm wrong, shake your head, okay?" Xiao Xingtian continued.
Long Chen stared at Xiao Xingtian, feeling that this person was strange.
"Mr. Xiao, what are you trying to do? Why do I feel like you know Mr. Long? If I've not mistaken, this is the first time you've met him," Gu Changming couldn't help but ask.
"Yes. It is the first time we met, but I have to confirm something," Xiao Xingtian said.
"Alright. Please continue."
Gu Changming shrugged his shoulders.
Xiao Xingtian nodded, then stared at Long Chen and asked in a deep voice, "Is your grandfather Long Hai?"
"How did you know that?"
Xiao Xingtian's question shocked Long Chen.
When Xiao Xingtian heard Long Chen's answer, he seemed to have gone crazy. He knelt before Long Chen excitedly and greeted him with tears in his eyes, "Young master, please accept my respect."
"Wait! Mr. Xiao, what do you mean by calling me, young master?"
Shocked, Long Chen wanted to help Xiao Xingtian get up, but Xiao Xingtian stubbornly knelt.
Gu Changming and Gu Yu's eyes widened in disbelief.
Xiao Xingtian wiped his tears, unable to calm his agitated emotions. "Young master, I came to Seven Star City to look for you. I didn't expect to meet you here."
"Mr. Xiao, I think you must have mistaken me for someone else. I grew up in Seven Star City since I was a child. I can't be your young master. Please get up," Long Chen said solemnly.
"Young master, have you never met your biological parents since you were young? Did your grandfather ever tell you about your parent's death?" Xiao Xingtian asked.
"Erm... He didn't."
Long Chen frowned.
"I didn't recognize the wrong person. When you were one year old, the Long family was in trouble. Your mother died in an accident, and your father was in great trouble. Worried that someone might harm you, he secretly sent you away and gave you to Long Hai to raise. Long Hai used to be your father's former subordinate," Xiao Xingtian said in a deep voice.
"This is impossible..."
Long Chen clenched his fists.
"Young master, what I've said is true. But I can't tell you the specific details now, as it involves a lot of things."
"However, I can tell you that your father is still alive. It's just that he can't reunite with you for the time being. But don't worry, you will meet him sooner or later," Xiao Xingtian said sternly.
"Mr. Xiao, does it mean that Mr. Long's father is that man..."
"Old Master Gu, your guess is correct."
Xiao Xingtian interrupted Gu Changming.
Gu Changming gasped, and his expression changed.
"Old Master Gu, please keep this a secret," Xiao Xingtian reminded.
"Don't worry. I, Gu Changming, wouldn't dare to say it."
Gu Changming smiled wryly.
Long Chen saw Gu Changming's expression and couldn't help but ask, "Who is he?"
"Young master, it's better if you don't know now. When the time is right, I'll take you to the Imperial City," Xiao Xingtian said softly.
"Forget it. I don't want to know it now either," Long Chen said with a bitter smile.
Long Chen couldn't accept he had a father out of nowhere.
"Well... Dr. Long, let's have breakfast first."
Gu Changming changed the topic.
"Alright."
Long Chen nodded.
"You guys continue your meal. I'll go out and make a call."
Xiao Xingtian walked out of the house.
Long Chen didn't even need to think. He knew that Xiao Xingtian wanted to report his new finding to Long Chen's father, whom he had never met.
At this moment, Long Chen had already believed most of it, but he still couldn't accept it.
"Dr. Long, enjoy the breakfast. Eat as you will," Gu Changming said with a smile.
Long Chen could feel that Gu Changming's attitude had become more cautious.
The subtle change inevitably stirred up a complicated feeling in Long Chen.
It seemed that his father was not an ordinary person.
Twenty minutes later, everyone had finished their breakfast. Long Chen looked at Gu Changming and said, "We will start your treatment now."
"Thank you for trying to treat me, Dr. Long."
Gu Changming bowed.
"Old Master Gu, you don't have to bow. You helped me in the hospital yesterday, so I'm here to help you today. We're even now."
"Also, please don't call me Dr. Long. Just call me by my name. I'm of the same age as Gu Xiao. I'll feel a little uncomfortable if you are too polite to me," Long Chen said with a smile.
Startled, Gu Changming looked at Long Chen and then at Gu Yu. Then, as if he had realized something, he smiled and said, "Alright, I'll call you by your name from now on."
"Okay."
As Long Chen spoke, he reached out his right hand and placed it on Gu Changming's back.
Then, Long Chen injected mysterious energy into Gu Changming's body to heal his damaged meridian.
The mysterious energy's healing ability was strong. Long Chen saw Gu Changming's damaged veins and vessels repaired in a blink of an eye.
He retracted his hand and was a little surprised.
That was faster than he had thought. He had only used a little bit of mysterious energy.
At this moment, Long Chen was curious about the mysterious energy in his body that would slowly recover after being used.
Of course, apart from this method, Long Chen could also use the silver needle technique recorded in the Celestial Doctor's Inheritance. However, Long Chen had not come into contact with it yet, so he could only use this most direct method.
"How do you feel now?"
Long Chen asked Gu Changming.
Gu Changming got up. After moving around for a while, he was overjoyed. "It's cured. I feel good."
"It's good that you feel better," Long Chen said with a smile.
"Grandpa, are you serious? Are you saying he got rid of the root of your illness that had been disturbing you for decades? He only used his hand and placed it on your back for a moment."
Gu Xiao found it hard to believe.
"Gu Xiao, although I find it hard to believe, Dr. Long did it. Now, I feel that I've become much stronger. I'm impressed. He deserves the title, Dr. Long."
Gu Changming faced Long Chen and bowed.
"Wait!" Long Chen hurriedly stopped him and said sternly, "don't be happy so soon!"
