Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now! Chapter 1205 - 359: [The Critically Ill Tycoon]_2

Put it this way: in Port City, this family doesn’t have the biggest assets, but its influence is anything but small.

The current Patriarch is second generation, just over sixty. He already had some fairly serious underlying conditions, problems with his cardiovascular and cerebrovascular system.

But rich people have access to the very best medical resources. By throwing money at it, they more or less managed to keep his condition stable, and in recent years there hadn’t been any major issues.

Just last month, at the annual celebration of a very high‑profile business association, this big shot was still hale and hearty, attended in person, and when facing the media his face was glowing as he made a few comments on the current economic situation.

Nobody expected that this time the illness would hit like a mountain collapsing. One moment he was fine, the next he just dropped. He was rushed to the hospital unconscious, and after resuscitation he’s been lying in the ICU ever since, and still hasn’t woken up.

Because of the upper‑level connections the Liu Family has long maintained, on the second day after the Patriarch collapsed, experts from Beijing were already dispatched, and on the third day, the Liu Family used a private jet to bring in specialists from abroad.

The current situation is multi‑organ failure, his lungs can no longer breathe on their own, and his life signs can only be maintained with drugs and machines.

The final conclusion from all sides of experts...

To put it simply: make preparations and be ready to accept it with sorrow.

The most optimistic estimate is that it’s a matter of three to five days.

Several masters from Port City’s Mystical Cultivation Realm have all gone to see him. After taking a look, they all knew exactly where the line was, didn’t dare take this money, wouldn’t even accept the gift envelopes, and politely took their leave.

Right now the Liu Family are just desperately grabbing at any cure they can, treating Chu Keqing as their last life‑saving straw.

They’re pinning their hopes on this "Elder Zi", who’s famed far and wide in the Profound Cultivator circle of Dragon Country’s Mainland, to pull off a miracle.

"The Liu Family no longer expects to extend his lifespan. Just like I said over the phone: that’s secondary now. All they ask is that the old man can wake up, regain consciousness, properly arrange some things, fight for a bit of time, and avert the crisis."

Chu Keqing spoke very seriously: "That big project of the Liu Family, the total planned investment will exceed thirty billion, and they’ve already put in over ten billion. All the partners in the project are various Immortals.

In business cooperation, if one side suddenly collapses, it’s not like you can just pull out if you want to. What the Liu Family fears most is that the old man suddenly lets go and dies, the family loses its pillar, and those partners turn on them. They’re all like wolves and tigers—if anyone starts nurturing other thoughts, develops an intention to swallow them whole...

The Liu Family also knows that if the old man goes, they definitely won’t be able to keep control of that project. The Liu Family is willing to pull out, but they’re afraid that when the time comes, they won’t even be able to get their capital out of the project!

This project concerns the Liu Family’s very foundation. If the funds get trapped in there, I’m afraid that this huge Liu Family will decline afterwards. So they’re more anxious than anyone.

As long as the old man can wake up, show his face for a bit in a clear state, hold on for two or three days, re‑negotiate the relationships up and down, sign a few agreements for withdrawal and transfer, so that the Liu Family can safely come ashore and exit, that’ll be enough."

Speaking to this point, Chu Keqing paused, then smiled: "The price the Liu Family is offering isn’t low. As long as the old man can wake up with a clear mind, regardless of how long he stays awake, they’re paying this figure."

When she finished, she stretched out a pale, slender hand, spreading five fingers.

Chen Yan laughed: "Five hundred?"

"Five thousand."

Chen Yan let out a whistle.

That really is a very high price.

As long as he wakes up with clear consciousness, no matter how long it lasts—even if he only wakes up for ten minutes or so—they’ll pay that much.

This really is a case of desperation making them grab at any cure, the entire family pinning their hopes on this second‑generation big shot waking up to save them, hoping that once he wakes, he’ll somehow come up with some godlike stratagem to turn the tide.

Hearing this, Chen Yan closed his eyes for a moment, thought, and said, "Call them right now, tell them we’ll go to the hospital immediately to take a look, but there are some conditions, and they need to implement them at once."

Chu Keqing nodded: "Senior, please say it."

"Clear the place." Chen Yan’s tone was very steady. "There must not be any media personnel inside or outside the hospital, and in the area where the patient is, all medical staff must immediately withdraw temporarily. I won’t meet or communicate with any of those medical experts.

On site, I can allow the Liu Family to leave three people to accompany us. Aside from that, not one unrelated person stays. Those who remain may not bring mobile phones or any electronic devices. All surveillance in and around the ward and the corridor must be shut down."

After speaking, Chen Yan gave Chu Keqing a look: "Tell them: if they can do it, we’ll go right now. If they can’t, have the car turn around and take me back to the hotel."

Chu Keqing’s expression turned stern. She immediately took out her phone and dialed.

She didn’t conceal a thing, didn’t water anything down, and stated Chen Yan’s demands clearly over the phone. After that, the other side seemed to fall silent for a moment, then gave a response.

Chu Keqing secretly let out a breath of relief, glanced at Chen Yan, nodded slightly, and then added a few more instructions to the person on the phone before hanging up.

"They agreed. They’ve also arranged for security staff to meet us outside the hospital. We’ll drive straight into the underground garage inside the hospital, then take a dedicated elevator directly into the hospital, guaranteeing that we won’t encounter or be disturbed by any unrelated people along the way."

This hospital is invested by the Liu Family themselves, and it counts as a very good private hospital in Port City.

The medical care team for that Liu Family big shot aren’t from the hospital either, but the Liu Family’s own team.
