"Chen Jie never said that!" Zhang Xinyan quickly said.
Chen Jie waved his hand: "The old man's body is not invaded by demons at all, it's just poisoning."
"Poisoning?" Everyone was slightly stunned.
Zhang Cheng quickly asked Chen Jie, "Chen Jie, can you really save my grandfather?"
"Since he is sure it's poisoning, he must have a solution. Let him try," Hai Chunsheng said with a cold smile.
"Chen Jie, if you can save my grandfather, I will unconditionally support your marriage to my sister!" Zhang Cheng quickly said.
"I can try."
Chen Jie said.
Just now, when he came into contact with Zhang Ziqiang's body, he sensed a familiar toxin within Zhang Ziqiang.
What hadn't he encountered in all these years?
Various poisons were nothing new to him.
Recognizing the poison in Zhang Ziqiang's body was not surprising.
"Since you're going to make a move, you must be one hundred percent confident, right? Then heal him!"
"I also hope I misdiagnosed, and the old man is not possessed by demons," Hai Chunsheng said with a cold smile.
"Chen Jie, please save my grandfather. Whatever conditions you have, just name them! Please!"
Hearing Hai Chunsheng's words, Zhang Cheng became even more convinced that Chen Jie could save his grandfather, and immediately said.
"Get me some silver needles," Chen Jie's eyes flickered. How could he not see that Hai Chunsheng was trying to set him up? But he still said so.
"I'll go get them now."
Soon, Zhang Cheng brought a set of silver needles.
He had arranged for a dedicated doctor for Zhang Ziqiang, who would regularly check his health.
Among them were many renowned traditional Chinese medicine practitioners.
It was not strange for there to be silver needles at home.
Chen Jie nodded and took them.
Then he sat on the bed and began to acupuncture Zhang Ziqiang.
"Do you have any jade at home?" After inserting a few needles into Zhang Ziqiang, Chen Jie turned to Zhang Cheng and asked.
"Uh, Chen Jie, what kind of jade do you want?"
Zhang Cheng was stunned.
He was a little confused why jade would be used to save someone.
Hai Chunsheng interjected with a sarcastic tone, "Of course, the more valuable the jade, the better."
Chen Jie nodded, "Roughly, jade without impurities, the purer the better."
Upon hearing this, everyone was a little stunned.
Their gazes towards Chen Jie became somewhat strange.
Now, it seemed to them that Chen Jie was taking advantage of the situation to benefit himself.
But Zhang Cheng, holding onto the hope of his grandfather being saved, didn't want to say much, "I'll go get it now!"
Soon, Zhang Cheng brought back an uncarved piece of jade.
He then handed it to Chen Jie, "Chen Jie, this is an extremely high-quality ice-jadeite, worth twenty million. It was a gift from a client to me for seeking cooperation..."
"Hmm, it's alright," Chen Jie nodded.
Saying that, he took it.
The next second, Chen Jie pried open Zhang Ziqiang's mouth and placed the jade into it.
This...
Everyone in the room looked on with curiosity.
It was their first time seeing jade being used to save someone.
What made everyone even more bewildered was that Chen Jie actually stuffed the jade into Zhang Ziqiang's mouth.
Although they were skeptical, they didn't dare to say much and could only suppress their curiosity and wait quietly.
Chen Jie had his reasons for doing this.
Because the poison Zhang Ziqiang had contracted was no ordinary poison. It was colorless and odorless, and modern medicine could not detect it at all.
Moreover, it had a very strong affinity for the human body.
If Chen Jie violently destroyed these toxins, Zhang Ziqiang's body would also be destroyed.
However, it was not easy to force the toxins out of the body.
Now, with this piece of jade, Chen Jie could use it to force all the toxins in Zhang Ziqiang's body down to a single point.
As the silver needles were inserted one by one into Zhang Ziqiang's body, Chen Jie's spiritual energy also began to take effect within Zhang Ziqiang.
A large amount of toxins surged towards the jade in Zhang Ziqiang's mouth.
Finally, as Chen Jie inserted the last needle, all the toxins in Zhang Ziqiang's body converged to a single point.
At the same time, Chen Jie smoothly pulled out the silver needles.
"Chen Jie, how is my grandfather?" Zhang Cheng said.
"I have forced all the toxins out. He should be recovering soon," Chen Jie said calmly.
Hai Chunsheng saw that Zhang Ziqiang's body remained motionless and sneered in his heart, but he said, "Since young friend Chen says he has cured him, then the old man should awaken soon."
Liu Feilong leaned forward and couldn't help but push Zhang Ziqiang's body.
Then he said, "What the heck, it's no different from before!"
"What's going on?" Zhang Xinyan quickly asked.
Chen Jie also frowned.
Logically, Zhang Ziqiang should have woken up by now.
"Could it just be for show?" Liu Mei questioned from the side.
Zhang Cheng said awkwardly, "Even experts make mistakes. It's normal, after all, Chen Jie doesn't know much about grandfather's condition."
"I'm afraid he has ulterior motives!" Liu Mei said disdainfully.
"Shut up, Chen Jie is just kindly treating my grandfather. Don't speak nonsense," Zhang Cheng said.
"I don't think it's kindness. I think he wants that jade!" Liu Feilong pointed at the jade in Zhang Ziqiang's mouth.
"You..." Zhang Xinyan was furious.
At this moment, Chen Jie said, "I do need to take this piece of jade with me, because I have already forced all the toxins from the old man into this piece of jade."
"This piece of jade is now full of potent poison. Ordinary people who touch it will soon suffer the same fate as the old man! Only I can handle it."
Liu Feilong's mouth widened, and he said as if he understood, "I guessed it right, you were coveting this jade!"
The others also looked at Chen Jie suspiciously.
Only Zhang Xinyan didn't doubt him.
Because she knew Chen Jie didn't lack money, and Chen Jie had offered her twenty billion as compensation for breaking off the engagement, which she had refused.
Why would Chen Jie do this for a piece of jade worth twenty million now?
"Heh heh, claiming your company is worth two billion, I think the net worth of some people is just fabricated by themselves?" Liu Mei said sarcastically.
"Don't talk nonsense, Chen Jie might not mean that," Zhang Cheng hesitated.
He had investigated Chen Jie and knew that Chen Jie wouldn't do this for twenty million worth of jade.
"Might not mean that? The old man hasn't woken up yet, and he still wants a piece of jade worth twenty million from you. His intentions are clear for all to see!" Liu Feilong said.
"Zhang Cheng, have you forgotten what his company does? Aren't so-called protective talismans made of jade? I heard that the better the quality of the jade, the better the protective talisman made. Could it be that because this is an extremely fine jade, perfectly suited for him to make a top-grade protective talisman, that's why he's doing this?"
Zhang Cheng was startled.
Then he looked at Chen Jie.
This reason was indeed very plausible, and he was now starting to doubt Chen Jie's intentions.
"I see. The old man hasn't woken up because the jade is still in his mouth. It will be fine once it's removed," Chen Jie's furrowed brow suddenly relaxed.
He reached out to take the jade stone from Zhang Ziqiang's mouth.
