Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries-Chapter 348: Magical

The tone held a hint of pettiness, like a child feeling aggrieved yet stubborn.

"Alright, I’m going to insert the needle now." Xia Mian said, pinching a needle between two fingers, aiming at the acupuncture point on the man’s leg, and gently inserted it.

The small silver needle seemed to pierce directly into the man’s pain nerves. His face changed instantly, and his forehead was instantly covered with cold sweat.

This pain seemed to be on his leg, yet it spread throughout his body, as if needles were piercing him all over.

The boy bit his lip hard, not allowing himself to make a sound.

Pain...

He actually felt pain. Since being paralyzed, his bones twisted and deformed, his body gradually lost sensation, he hadn’t felt pain for a long time!

When he was in such pain that he doubted his existence, Xia Mian inserted the second needle.

The second needle made him question his life even more than the first.

Yet he endured it, one needle after another, not as if it were treating an illness, but more like he was being tortured.

Cold sweat was all over his body as if it were free, and soon the couch beneath him was soaked with his sweat.

Uncle Sun and Sister-in-law Sun stood by, looking at the man lying on the couch with complex expressions. Worry flashed in Uncle Sun’s eyes, while Sister-in-law Sun’s eyes showed heartache.

This child had a rough life since childhood, suffering so much, hoping this time, Miss Xia could treat his chronic illness, allowing him to stand again and live under the sun.

Under the worried gaze of Uncle Sun and Sister-in-law Sun, Xia Mian had already acupunctureed all the points.

During her acupuncture, she quietly infused a stream of spiritual power into the man’s body.

The man’s illness was very severe, almost to the point of death. If it were just acupuncture, even Xia Mian would be helpless.

But with the aid of spiritual power, the man’s chances of recovery increased by fifty percent.

After finishing the acupuncture, Xia Mian packed the needle kit away and slowly stood up.

Lu Zechuan handed over a moist towelette that had been prepared in advance for Xia Mian to wipe her hands.

The man’s face gradually gained a rosy hue, as if life was slowly taking root within him.

With Uncle Sun’s support, he sat up, looking at Xia Mian with deep astonishment in his eyes.

This young girl really had the ability to make him stand again!

"My name is Cui Ke." the boy voluntarily said. "I am good at computers, a hacker, and a white hat hacker... if Miss Xia needs any help from me in the future, feel free to ask."

Xia Mian laughed, she was also good at computers, but currently, she was not involved in that field, and nobody around her knew that.

"Alright!" Xia Mian did not stand on ceremony with Cui Ke. Even if she was proficient in everything, she had to learn to use people.

Cui Ke lowered his head slightly embarrassed, "Sorry, I made your sofa dirty."

Just now, Cui Ke sweated excessively, and where he was sitting was still wet.

"Young master, I’ll go buy a new sofa right away!" Uncle Sun hurriedly said.

Their young master was a clean freak!

Except for being with Miss Xia, he’s dissatisfied with everyone else!

Lu Zechuan responded with a faint "hmm".

"Miss Xia, thank you for being willing to help my nephew!" Sister-in-law Zhang’s eyes filled with excited tears.

Originally, she asked Uncle Sun to find Lu Zechuan for fruit, just to try it out.

But now, Xia Mian was willingly helping her nephew treat his illness!

This favor was even greater than the sky!

"You’re welcome." Xia Mian nodded slightly towards Sister-in-law Zhang.

She still remembered when she opened her eyes in the hospital, Uncle Sun bought her the first meal.

Uncle Sun was very kind-hearted, and she would definitely help him if she could.

"Miss Xia, I’ll take Cui Ke home first." Uncle Sun chuckled, "Today’s matter, Miss Xia, really thank you so much!"

Xia Mian helplessly shook her head, "Uncle Sun, you don’t have to be so polite with me."

Uncle Sun has been with the Lu Family for so many years, Lu Zechuan had long regarded Uncle Sun as family.

And she would eventually be the mistress of the Lu Family, whoever Lu Zechuan treated well, she would certainly treat well too.

Uncle Sun and Sister-in-law Sun helped Cui Ke onto the wheelchair, gave a round of thanks to Xia Mian, and then left Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan’s villa.

Xia Mian went to the bathroom to wash her hands, and when she returned, she saw Lu Zechuan standing on the balcony, looking at the scenery in front of the villa.

In winter, the sunlight was glaring white, spilling over the ice in front of the villa, casting a faint cold light. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Xia Mian walked over and stood beside Lu Zechuan.

Lu Zechuan remained silent, staring at the ice ahead in a daze.

"What’s wrong?" Xia Mian tilted her head, glancing at Lu Zechuan.

Lu Zechuan turned to look at Xia Mian, "Lu Zhenqing just called me."

Xia Mian’s eyes slightly narrowed, "What does he want now?"

"He said he has something very important to tell me." Lu Zechuan’s expression was solemn, and he had a vague sense of foreboding.

Xia Mian lowered her gaze, for some reason recalling what Ding Lan had said before.

Shen Xiang’s death, Mrs. Lu couldn’t stay out of it, not a single person in the Lu Family was innocent.

Xia Mian stared into the distance, speaking softly, "What do you plan to do?"

"He arranged for me to meet him." Lu Zechuan didn’t hide anything from Xia Mian.

"Then go see him." Xia Mian said softly, "I’ll go with you."

She wanted to hear what exactly Lu Zhenqing planned to say.

Lu Zechuan’s face showed a trace of complexity, "He wants me to go to the Lu Family, hidden in the shadows."

Xia Mian fell silent.

By now, she was almost sure of what Lu Zhenqing had to say to Lu Zechuan.

"Whether to go or not, it is up to you." Xia Mian relaxed her tone, not giving Lu Zechuan any advice.

When Ding Lan first approached Lu Zechuan, claiming Mrs. Lu wasn’t innocent, Lu Zechuan already knew the answer deep down.

All along, Lu Zechuan had been choosing to deceive himself.

But now, Lu Zhenqing, Lu Zechuan’s nominal father, had pierced through this veil.

"Go." Lu Zechuan uttered a single word lowly.

"I want to know what role Grandmother played in my mother’s death." Lu Zechuan’s dark eyes narrowed deeply, with turbulent undercurrents beneath.

Xia Mian pressed her lips together, "Do you need me to accompany you?"

After all, it was a Lu Family secret, Lu Zechuan had the right to ask her to avoid it.

"Yes." Lu Zechuan’s voice was deep, "If things really go beyond my expectations, you must stop me from harming Grandmother."

Mrs. Lu’s kindness to Lu Zechuan over the years couldn’t be erased.

So, even if Mrs. Lu was involved in Shen Xiang’s death, Lu Zechuan wanted to handle it in the most dignified way possible.

Xia Mian responded softly, her mood also somewhat heavy.

In her eyes, Mrs. Lu had always been a kind old lady, she didn’t want to see a rift between Mrs. Lu and Lu Zechuan either.
