Chapter 44 - Leg Treatment and Undercurrents

Xia Huaizheng's voice sounded in the quiet living room, with a hint of calmness: "Found him, he is safe and sound, and is out of town. By the way, is there anything unusual at home recently?" Xia Huaicheng's tense nerves relaxed a little after hearing this, and then he said: "I just learned a shocking news that all the members of the Ancient Martial Arts Hall were arrested by the authorities. Now, this once glorious sect no longer exists." "What did you say?" Xia Huaizheng and Xia Liu said in unison, with astonishment on their faces. Xia Huaizheng calmed down a little and asked: "Where did you get this information? Is it reliable?" Xia Huaicheng nodded firmly: "I have confirmed it from many sources and it is accurate." Xia Huaizheng was silent for a moment, frowning: "Will my fifth brother be implicated?" Xia Huaicheng shook his head: "My fifth brother is just an auditor of the Ancient Martial Arts Hall and has never officially joined. Besides, he never participated in the dirty things of the Ancient Martial Arts Hall, so it should be fine." Hearing this, Xia Huaizheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, he has not officially joined, otherwise once he signed the contract, the consequences would be unimaginable." Xia Huaicheng suggested: "I'll give him a call Call him and ask him to come back as soon as possible. " Xia Zhuozhuo interrupted and said, "Second brother, it may not be wise to let the fifth brother come back at this moment. The situation is tense, and he frequently goes in and out of the Ancient Martial Arts Hall. If he is reported, wouldn't it be worse?" Xia Huaizheng, who was in a wheelchair, nodded in agreement: "Xiao Qi's words make sense. It is better to wait until the storm subsides before letting him come back. Otherwise, with his temperament, he may have to stand up for the Ancient Martial Arts Hall when he comes back." Xia Huaicheng nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll send him a message and let him stay out of the limelight for a while." Xia Zhuozhuo secretly rejoiced that this storm might be avoided temporarily. In a blink of an eye, night fell and dinner time came. Although Mrs. Xia was slightly refreshed, she was still worried when she heard about the Ancient Martial Arts Hall: "He is outside, I don't know if he can take care of himself." Xia Zhuozhuo comforted softly: "Mom, he is an adult and can take care of himself. The most important thing for you now is to take care of your body." Mrs. Xia forced a smile and nodded in agreement. After dinner, Xia Liu and Xia Huaicheng helped Xia Huaizheng upstairs. Xia Zhuozhuo stared at Xia Huaizheng's slightly lonely back, and a feeling of bitterness surged in his heart. This elder brother was kind-hearted, but he suffered misfortune because of this kindness. His legs were disabled because of his kindness. A kind person should not end up like this. Xia Zhuozhuo followed the three people and came to Xia Huaizheng's room, and said softly: "Brother, if you don't mind, let me see your legs?" Xia Huaizheng subconsciously retracted his legs and responded with a wry smile: "I appreciate your kindness, but my legs have been treated by many famous doctors, and they all said there is no solution. Time flies, and it is impossible to recover." Thinking back then, the Xia family was in its heyday, and his parents visited famous doctors for him. He was full of hope, but returned disappointed again and again. In the end, he was discouraged and refused to seek medical treatment again. Because, if you don't have hope, you won't be disappointed. Xia Zhuozhuo winked at Xia Liu, who understood and stepped forward and said, "Brother, I have witnessed Zhuozhuo's medical skills. A few days ago, my mother fainted because of Xia Liuli, and it was Zhuozhuo who woke her up." Xia Huaizheng's mother had a good complexion recently and her sleep was getting better and better, so he naturally knew it. But he still had concerns in his heart and didn't want to experience disappointment again. "You don't have to persuade me anymore, I'm used to the current situation. Besides, Xiaoqi has to take care of my mother and me at the same time, which is too tiring. Let's wait until my mother is fully recovered." Xia Liu wanted to say more, but Xia Zhuozhuo gently shook his head to stop him. The three of them helped Xia Huaizheng lie down and left the room. Xia Huaicheng was worried that Xia Zhuozhu would have a grudge, so he said, "Xiao Qi, don't take it to heart. Big brother doesn't distrust you, but..." Xia Zhuozhu smiled and replied, "I understand." It was late at night, Xia Zhuozhu finished bathing, saw Jin Hu's missed call, and called back. When the call was connected, Jin Hu said bluntly, "Sister Huo, the matter you asked me to check has been found out. The manor was mortgaged by Xia Liuli." Xia Zhuozhu was not surprised, but she still had doubts in her heart: "Although the house is under her name, the sale also requires normal procedures. How could it fall into the court auction?" Jin Hu explained: "She relied on Xia's and established two subsidiaries. Now that Xia's bankrupt, her company also closed down, and the house was sealed by the court." "She could have made up for the deficit, but she was unwilling to pay?" Xia Zhuozhu said in a cold tone. Jin Hu nodded: "Indeed, she doesn't seem to care about the displacement of the Xia family." Xia Zhuozhuo sneered: "How can a selfish person care about the life and death of others?" Jin Hu continued: "I also found out that she has another clothing design company under her, which is under the name of Du Haoran and is not affected by the bankruptcy of the Xia family." "Oh?" Xia Zhuozhuo's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, "Interesting, keep checking." After the call ended, Xia Zhuozhuo stared at the clock on the wall, the hour hand pointed to half past ten. She got up, took out two things from her bag - a bottle of potion and a piece of talisman paper, and quietly went out. The Xia family has a regular schedule and is now asleep. Xia Zhuozhuo walked lightly through the quiet courtyard and came to Mrs. Xia's room. She gently pushed open the door and saw Mrs. Xia sleeping soundly, with a ruddy face and steady breathing. Xia Zhuozhuo felt relieved, put the potion on the bedside table, and whispered softly: "Mom, this is the amulet I asked for for you, I hope you will get well soon." After that, she pasted the amulet paper on Mrs. Xia's bedside and turned away. Afterwards, Xia Zhuozhuo came to Xia Huaizheng's room and saw him lying on the bed, his face was haggard, and his legs were hanging weakly beside the bed. Xia Zhuozhuo felt a pang of sadness in his heart, and he called softly, "Brother, I'm here to see you." Xia Huaizheng woke up with a start, and seeing that it was Xia Zhuozhuo, he forced a smile: "Xiaoqi, it's so late, why haven't you slept yet?" Xia Zhuozhuo walked closer and handed him the potion in his hand: "Brother, this is the special medicine I asked for for you, maybe it can help your leg injury." Xia Huaizheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Xiaoqi, I appreciate your kindness, but I'm afraid my leg is beyond repair." Xia Zhuozhuo said firmly: "Brother, how do you know if you don't try? Maybe a miracle will happen in the next moment." Xia Huaizheng looked at Xia Zhuozhuo's determined eyes, and a warm current surged in his heart. He took the potion and promised softly: "Okay, I'll try." Xia Zhuozhuo smiled and nodded, turned around and left the room. Back in her room, Xia Zhuozhuo lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. She recalled what happened today, and her heart was full of mixed feelings. The precarious situation of the Xia family, Xia Liuli's selfishness and cruelty, and Xia Huaizheng's kindness and tenacity all made her feel deeply moved. She secretly vowed to seek justice for the Xia family and let Xia Liuli pay the price she deserved. At the same time, Xia Liuli was enjoying a life of luxury in another city. She completely ignored the plight of the Xia family and only cared about her own interests. However, she didn't know that a storm against her was quietly brewing. Xia Zhuozhuo was determined to use her wisdom and strength to expose Xia Liuli's true face and fight for the Xia family. As the night deepened, the lights of the Xia family gradually went out, leaving only a faint light flickering in Xia Zhuozhuo's room. She lay on the bed, closed her eyes and rested, but silently planned her future actions in her heart. She knew that this road was destined to be full of thorns and challenges, but she was fearless. Because she firmly believed that justice would eventually defeat evil and kindness would get its due reward. As the night deepened, the story of the Xia family continued, and Xia Zhuozhuo's struggle had just begun... The corridor was silent, and she quietly arrived in front of Xia Huaizheng's room, turned the door handle lightly, and walked into the dark room with unclosed curtains. The moonlight poured, reflecting the sleeping figure on the bed. She tiptoed to the bedside, a faint flame jumped on her fingertips, and lit the fragrance in her hand.
