Chapter 627 Fearless Because of Bias (1)
It was only then that Shi Jin and Fu Jiang saw clearly that the man who was skilled in martial arts was a middle-aged man. He had an imposing aura and looked somewhat similar to Fu Xiuyuan.
Fu Jiang was stunned for a moment before he spoke, “Sir?”
The man looked up at Fu Jiang lazily. “Are you one of Fu Xiuyuan’s men?”
“Yes, I am Fu Jiang, who is by Young Master’s side. Sir, is it really you?” Fu Jiang was not sure either. He had not seen Fu Xiuyuan’s father for many years, but he found him really familiar. His kung fu was similar to Fu Xiuyuan’s, which was why he asked this question.
The man didn’t answer. “You should leave. Don’t stay here.”
Fu Jiang quickly said, “Young Madam and I were chased here by someone. It’s dangerous outside. I can leave, but let Young Madam stay.”
The man looked up at Shi Jin.
Hearing Fu Jiang’s words, the woman who had covered her face earlier could not help but look at Shi Jin, sizing her up carefully.
“No, all of you leave immediately.” The man’s tone was very strict and he did not allow any room for argument. “Leave quickly.”
“Hurry up and leave, Shi Jin,” the woman said gently. “Or, call Xiuyuan to pick you up. Don’t stay here.”
Fu Jiang recalled the rumors in the Fu family and knew that he couldn’t stay here for long. He said in a low voice, “Young Mistress, let’s go. I have already sent Young Master a message. It shouldn’t be too much of a problem for us to leave.”
However, Shi Jin did not leave immediately. Instead, she walked towards the woman.
“What are you doing?” The man was furious and stood between Shi Jin and the woman.
“I just want to see her condition.” Shi Jin took a few steps forward.
The man wanted to stop her and raised his hand to hit her. Fu Jiang saw that Shi Jin was about to get injured and quickly stepped forward. The two men were fighting again.
Shi Jin walked to the woman and grabbed her wrist.
“Shi Jin, don’t touch me.” The woman was anxious to retract her wrist.
“Don’t move.” Shi Jin lowered her voice and placed her fingers on her pulse.
She looked at Shi Jin’s actions and posture and realized that she was doing a checkup for her. She was puzzled. How did a young lady like her know such traditional Chinese medicine techniques?
The man who was fighting with Fu Jiang saw Shi Jin touching her and rushed over. Just as he was about to chase Shi Jin away, the woman said in a low voice, “Forget it, let her take a look.”
The man did not say anything else and stood at the side with a frown.
Shi Jin lowered her head and looked at the woman’s wrist. The skin on her fingers was very old and the veins were bulging. Her skin looked like an old woman in her seventies or eighties. However, her voice sounded gentle and elegant.
“How is it? Are you done? If you’re done, go,” she said gently. Although Shi Jin’s posture was very standard, she clearly did not think that she could solve any problem.
“Your condition is not completely hopeless,” Shi Jin said. “Do you want to try?”
The woman’s body quivered. She clearly did not expect to hear such an answer.
She had held hope for the hospital and doctors countless times, but she had also been disappointed countless times. Even now, her heart was as calm as still water, but she still could not help but tremble at these words.
However, she quickly calmed down. “Forget it. I’m already at this age. There’s no need to try treating me.”
“Sister is about to give birth. You haven’t carried Xiuyuan before, do you not want to carry Sister’s child?” Shi Jin asked calmly.
The woman shuddered again.
The man beside her said angrily, “Shi Jin, don’t use Fu Xiuyuan’s favoritism to do whatever you want.”
Shi Jin did not respond to him. She just looked at the woman in front of her quietly, waiting for her response.
Shi Jin’s gaze was calm and firm. The clarity in her eyes was something that shouldn’t be there at her age, but it didn’t seem out of place in her eyes. She stood calmly without removing her fingers from the woman’s wrist.
Fu Jiang stood by the side and felt that he did not fully understand the current situation.
The woman finally spoke slowly, “Come in with me.”
“Xingmi, you…”
“It’s fine. Let Shi Jin follow me in.” Shi Jin followed behind her and walked towards the back yard that was filled with flowers. Behind them was a more spacious open space and a unique looking building.
Walking into the building, Shi Jin followed her into a room.
She pointed to the side. It was a protective suit for Shi Jin.
Shi Jin hesitated for a moment before putting it on.
The woman then sat down and removed the cover on her head, revealing her true appearance.
What appeared in front of Shi Jin was a terrifyingly old face. The skin was loose and covered with age spots. There were also various cracks, like fish scales or snake skin. Not only were the skin fragments tumbling, but the flesh was also bloody. It looked extremely terrifying.
She rolled up her sleeves. Her arms were covered with the same awful skin.
It was obvious that she had the same skin all over her body.
It was no wonder that she would cover her entire body and not reveal her true appearance.
“See? That’s what I look like.”
“I saw it. I’ll take some samples later for research. Is that okay?” Shi Jin asked softly.
What surprised her was that when Shi Jin saw this situation, she did not show any signs of shock or disgust.
She remembered that the doctors she had seen before, although they tried their best to remain calm, there was fear, shock, and undisguised disgust in their bones.
This was normal. At first, she was sad about it, but she got used to it.
She was surprised to see how calm Shi Jin was.
“Don’t you think that I look a little disgusting?”
“It’s just being sick. You didn’t choose it yourself,” Shi Jin said. “No one has the right to hate you.”
She laughed and shook her head. “It might be contagious.”
“We’ll only know if we’ve seen it. Don’t worry, I’ll protect myself.”
“Shi Jin, I’m sure you know who I am, right?” She slowly put down her sleeves, picked up the cover from earlier, and covered her head and face again. “Yes, I know, Mom,” Shi Jin answered frankly.
Fu Xiuyuan’s mother, Qiu Xingmi.
According to Shi Jin’s deduction, she must have started to fall sick and aged rapidly after giving birth to Fu Xiuyuan.
There were only seven cases of this kind of rapid aging where the skin had completely turned into an elderly’s condition. It was very tricky, and all the scientists and doctors in the world were helpless.
Due to the special condition of the patient, it was very difficult to treat her. Furthermore, there were not many cases like this, and there were no special organizations currently researching drugs for this condition.
