C1094 And Then He Came to Lingnan
"Then she should be back soon, right?"
Just as Xue Chen finished speaking, Shen Xuening walked in from outside. It really confirmed the common saying, 'Cao Cao'!
Seeing Shen Xuening walk in from outside, Shen Baichuan immediately stood up, "Xuening..."
"Did something happen to her?" Shen Xuening softly said, "Why are you looking for me so urgently?"
Now, whether it was Gong Shangyu or Shen Baichuan, the relationship between Shen Xuening and Shen Baichuan was no longer as stiff as before. It had completely eased up.
This caused Shen Xuening to not speak to Shen Baichuan with her usual ice face and cold voice that kept people away from her.
Shen Baichuan said softly, "Your grandfather is seriously ill and is in the hospital now. His condition is not very good. I want you to go back and take a look. You..."
"Sick?" Shen Xuening's expression changed slightly. "Wasn't he fine before? Why did he suddenly get sick?"
Shen Baichuan sighed slightly and said, "He is old. His body is not as good as before."
"How is he now?" he asked.
"In the intensive care ward!" Shen Baichuan did not hide anything and said directly, "So I want to take you and Xue Chen back to see him."
Shen Xuening's face revealed a slight hesitation. After pondering for a moment, she slowly said, "I will go back with you. Xue Chen will not go!"
No matter what, Old Master Shen was Shen Xuening's grandfather. Now that he was seriously ill, as the granddaughter of Shen Family, it was impossible for her not to go back. If she did not go back, it would definitely cause others to talk about her!
Furthermore, it was impossible for her to ignore Old Master Shen. He was her grandfather!
Therefore, she agreed to Shen Baichuan without hesitation. However, Xue Chen could not go. It was not that Shen Xuening did not want him to go.
It was because the capital was already in chaos. The matter between the Yim Family and Lin Family had yet to be dealt with by Xue Chen. If she were to go to Lingnan with him, who knew how long it would take.
Therefore, Shen Xuening wanted Xue Chen to stay in the capital and follow Shen Baichuan back alone.
Xue Chen knew what Shen Xuening was thinking. He knew that she wanted him to stay in the capital and do other things.
But could he really stay?
After all, he was Shen Xuening's husband, the son-in-law of the Shen Family. If he didn't go back with Shen Xuening and Old Master Shen was no longer around, he would definitely let people talk behind his back in the future.
Xue Chen didn't care about these things. But what about Shen Xuening?
Could she really not contact anyone from the Shen Family?
Just as Xue Chen was about to speak, Shen Baichuan's voice was heard. "Your grandfather said that he wants to see Xue Chen too!"
"But Xue Chen..."
Shen Xuening had just opened her mouth when she was interrupted by Xue Chen. "It's okay. I will go back with you."
Xue Chen could not let Shen Xuening only think about him, and he did not think about anything for her.
"Xue Chen, you..."
"Wife, I know you are worried but you don't need to worry. I will arrange it before this happens." Xue Chen said softly, "Isn't there Yinloong here?"
"It's the same for him."
At this moment, Xuanyuan Yidao, who had been sitting quietly by the side, suddenly said, "Let's all go together. We can't be too anxious about the matters in the capital. Also, let Yinloong do it. It's the same."
"Yes, girl. Let Xue Chen go back with you. Grandpa isn't dead yet. He can still help him watch all the movements in the capital." Jiang Zhanyi also said at this time, "If there is nothing else, I am afraid I will have to go there."
"How should I put it? Your grandfather and I are old acquaintances, and you are the wife of the Jiang Family. We haven't seen him for so many years, so we should go and see him in this situation."
Just like that, the group made their decision. Xue Chen and Shen Xuening followed Shen Baichuan back to the Shen Family in Lingnan. As for the matters in the capital, they would temporarily leave it to Xuanyuan Yinloong.
At the same time, before they left, Xue Chen made a phone call to Xuanyuan Yinloong and gave him a proper explanation.
As for what he said, perhaps only Xue Chen and Xuanyuan Yinloong knew. There was no one else.
In the evening, Xue Chen, Shen Xuening, and Shen Baichuan boarded the plane and left the capital.
Fortunately, there was no heavy snow these two days and the airport was not sealed. Otherwise, they would probably have driven back.
The plane was found by Jiang Zhanyi for Xue and Shen Xuening. Because of Jiang Zhanyi, the plane did not need to report anything about the route and other complicated matters. It went straight from the capital to Lingnan.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the plane landed at Lingnan Airport on time.
When the plane landed, Xue Chen, Shen Xuening, and Shen Baichuan got off the plane.
The three of them had just walked out of the airport when they saw Kong Xun waiting for them in the cold wind.
When they came to Lingnan from the capital, Shen Baichuan told Kong Xun and told him the time, so Kong Xun came to the airport early to pick up the three of them.
When Kong Xun saw Shen Baichuan and the other two, he immediately went up to greet them.
"Uncle Kong, how is my dad now?" Shen Baichuan didn't wait for Kong Xun to speak and asked directly.
Kong Xun was an old man of the Shen Family. His status in the Shen Family was not low. When Shen Baichuan and the others saw Kong Xun, they would usually call him Uncle Kong.
Shen Xuening and her grandchildren called him Grandpa Kong.
When Shen Baichuan opened his mouth to ask, Shen Xuening immediately turned her eyes to Kong Xun, looking slightly expectant.
Kong Xun sighed slightly. "Young master, the master's condition is not good. I'm afraid there is not much time left."
Kong Xun sighed again and looked helpless.
Shen Baichuan's expression changed slightly when he heard Kong Xun's words.
Although he knew Old Master Shen was seriously ill, he did not expect Old Master Shen to be so seriously ill.
"Take us to the hospital now!" Shen Baichuan said hurriedly.
Although Shen Baichuan and Old Master Shen had a very stiff relationship in the past, he was still Shen Baichuan's father.
Now that Old Master Shen was in danger and could die at any moment, Shen Baichuan's heart instantly tightened.
Even Shen Xuening felt the same way.
She never thought that Old Master Shen would be so seriously ill.
Kong Xun did not say anything. He brought Shen Baichuan and the other two to the hospital.
In the carriage, Shen Baichuan asked Kong Xun about Old Master Shen's condition and Xue Chen found out.
It turned out that Old Master Shen was not in good health when he was living. He would often cough at night.
Recently, perhaps because of the cold weather, Old Master Shen's health wasn't as good as before. Sometimes, he even coughed out blood!
Even if Old Master Shen did not want to say it, he could no longer hide it from the people of Shen Family.
Xue Chen really did not expect this. Xue Chen only remembered that when he first saw Old Master Shen, his fighting spirit did look good.
Xue Chen did not take a closer look back then. Otherwise, he might have been able to see something.
After arriving at the hospital, Kong Xun brought Shen Baichuan and the others upstairs to Old Master Shen's ward.
When they arrived upstairs, Xue Chen saw many people standing in the corridor. There were people from the Shen Family, some high-ranking officials from Lingnan, and some people from the army.
In short, they were all big shots from all sides.
Xue Chen's heart sank when he saw this.
From the looks of it, Old Master Shen really did not have much time left. Otherwise, how could so many big shots come to the hospital?
The faces of everyone from the Shen Family were filled with depression and sorrow.
Old Master Shen was the god of the Shen Family. If Old Master Shen fell, the status of the Shen Family would certainly be much lower than before.
If Shen Baichuan was still in the business world and was still the god of the business world, it would be fine, but Shen Baichuan had already left.
Although he had a huge network of connections in his hands, would he give it to the other people of the Shen Family?
Old Master Shen was different if he was alive.
With Old Master Shen here, many people had to give him face. There was no need for Old Master Shen to show himself.
If the Shen Family had stayed in the capital, they would have been one of the most powerful families in the world. Although they were not in the capital now, they were still very powerful in the Shen Family in Lingnan.
If Old Master Shen fell, it would be hard to say.
After all, when you were alive, everyone would give you face. But if you are not here, who will give you face?
After Shen Baichuan and the other two arrived at the hospital, they only greeted a few big shots. After that, they did not say anything and walked straight into the ward.
Compared to the usual ICU, the ICU in the Inner Courtyard was obviously much larger. All kinds of advanced instruments worked at the same time. Any situation of the patient would be reported to the doctor immediately.
There were also many people from the Shen Family gathered in the ward, but they were all people of Shen Baichuan's generation.
When Shen Baichuan and the other two walked in from outside, everyone's eyes fell on Shen Baichuan and the other two.
Shen Baichuan didn't pay any attention to them. His eyes fell on Old Master Shen, who was lying on the bed.
At the moment, Old Master Shen was lying quietly on the bed with a ventilator. His eyes were slightly open. He was staring at the ceiling in a daze.
On the hospital bed, Old Master Shen was wearing patient clothes. His body could no longer be described as skinny as firewood. His bones were basically wrapped by dried skin, and the white hair on his head had completely fallen off. His eye sockets were also deeply sunken. His jawbone protruded high, his lips were white, and the skin on his face had become dry and wrinkled.
When Xue Chen saw this scene, his heart suddenly bulged.
He had never thought that Old Master Shen would be so ill. From the looks of it, it was definitely not something that could become like this in just a few months. He was afraid that Old Master Shen had been ill before, but he had never seen it. Now, he was completely incurable.
