"Ah!"
Suddenly, a shriek erupted.
"Slap!" A sound of a slap echoed.
"Are you blind?"
"I... I'm truly sorry, I didn't recognize you."
"Please come in, please come in."
The attendant at the door kept bowing and apologizing.
All eyes turned in that direction.
It was Elder Sun, who had arrived late.
And the person behind him, sitting in a wheelchair, looking in good spirits, instantly stunned everyone at the banquet.
The Fang, Lü, Zhuge, and Qin families, everyone present, felt a jolt.
Qin Huaiyu was the first to see that person, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"Who is this?"
"Sun Tianyou! He was a vegetable!"
"Don't know why he's here."
Qin Zhantian's lips trembled.
Old Master Fang and Elder Zhuge, who were talking, didn't even notice they had spilled their wine glasses.
Lü Linglong of the Lü family and others on the periphery looked at each other, speechless.
Zhou Xuan took in everyone's reactions.
"Heavens, isn't that Sun Tianyou, the former patriarch of the Sun family?"
"He! The rumors were true, he's really not dead!"
"Who is so powerful that they could even cure a comatose patient?"
"Hey, brother, where did you get your information? You said earlier that Sun Tianyou would appear! Do you know something?"
"That's right, I said it, but I really don't know who cured him."
Zhou Xuan smiled faintly, "Well, I guess it must have been a very handsome guy who cured him."
With that, he turned and left.
He wanted to find the best spot to observe everyone's expressions; it would surely be interesting.
As they spoke, Sun Tianyou slowly stood up.
He looked at his legs, his brow furrowed, but he didn't show any pain. He silently walked to the center of the hall and bowed to everyone present.
"Thank you all for being here today."
"Tianyou is untalented and has been gravely ill. Therefore, I have brought a gift today, hoping Elder Zhuge will like it."
After speaking, he handed the gift box in his hand to the butler beside him. The butler took it and placed it on the table.
"The gift is too valuable!" Old Master Zhuge was the first to react. He quickly stepped forward to accept it and said politely, "Tianyou, it's wonderful that you could come. I just didn't expect you to have woken up."
Sun Tianyou glanced at him and said faintly, "I've been lying in bed and haven't had much opportunity to repay everyone."
Old Master Zhuge nodded and said nothing more.
The members of the other families also stood up to offer their congratulations.
"Uncle Sun, congratulations on your recovery!"
Sun Tianyou responded with a smile.
Just then, a sharp laugh rang out, "Oh, Sun Tianyou, you're finally awake, it makes me so happy!"
"I wonder which divine doctor your Sun family hired? Why don't you introduce them to us? Our Qin family needs one."
The one speaking without thinking was Qin Qingya.
Qin Huaiyu frowned, and surprisingly, did not object.
Qin Qingya suspected Zhou Xuan.
After all, many people present believed it was Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Xuan had healed Old Master Fang, so it was normal for him to heal Sun Tianyou.
Deng Lao, the behind-the-scenes boss of Yaowang Hall, was also present.
He snorted coldly, "To wake a comatose patient in just a few days, I doubt there is such a powerful divine doctor."
"I think Mr. Sun's extraordinary talent is why he recovered."
Inwardly, Fang Ruolin quietly found Zhou Xuan and asked him, "Did you really heal him?"
"How is that possible? You're thinking too much," Zhou Xuan said with a smile.
Sun Tianyou sat back in his wheelchair.
"There really is no divine doctor. I just woke up when the time came."
"Perhaps heaven didn't want me to lie there, allowing the murderer to escape justice."
"I've come back this time to settle the score."
These veiled pronouncements caused the expressions of the other four families present to change.
Qin Zhantian's face shifted from one expression to another upon hearing this.
After all, the Qin family had benefited the most after Sun Tianyou collapsed.
Never mind whether the Fang family was suspicious, but Sun Tianyou's words were clearly directed towards the Qin family.
He hadn't expected Sun Tianyou to actually wake up this time!
Everyone had thought Sun Tianyou would remain comatose for much longer.
After all, the drug injected into Sun Tianyou's body was extremely potent, not only harming his body but also causing severe damage to his brain.
If no one had managed to wake Sun Tianyou from his coma mid-way, he would have remained comatose for at least three to five months, eventually dying.
This was a foregone conclusion, so why was there a problem at the last moment?
Not only the Qin family had this question, but the other four families were also filled with doubt, wishing they could go back immediately to find people and gather information.
With Sun Tianyou's awakening, the power structure in Shangjing was bound to change.
They had to suppress the Sun family before they fully recovered their strength.
Therefore, in the past few years, besides the Qin family, the Fang, Zhuge, and Lü families had been looking for opportunities to eliminate Sun Tianyou while he was still unconscious.
Because everyone knew that as long as Sun Tianyou was alive, no one would ever be at peace!
No matter who had harmed him, Sun Tianyou would surely treat the other four families indiscriminately upon waking.
Except for the Qin family, whom he couldn't touch for now, but after Sun Tianyou's accident, the Fang, Lü, and Zhuge families had not benefited less from the Sun family.
They had engaged in all sorts of despicable acts of kicking someone when they're down.
Although Elder Sun had managed to hold the family together, the price paid was unimaginable.
In the vast banquet hall, everyone's smiles disappeared, and their expressions became stiff.
Qin Huaiyu was the first to step forward and congratulate him, "Uncle Sun, congratulations."
"Yes, Uncle Sun, it's great news that you've woken up. When will you be holding a banquet to celebrate?"
"Of course, there will be a celebration. I will send invitations to everyone then. Alright, I won't steal Miss Zhuge's thunder. Please enjoy yourselves. I'm not feeling well, so I'll be taking my leave."
Zhuge Mingyue could only smile and say, "Uncle Sun, you speak too kindly. We wanted to keep you longer, but since you're not feeling well, please come again next time."
"Definitely, definitely!"
Elder Sun stayed, while Sun Zhibiao pushed his father and left majestically.
Looking at the bodyguards around them, some people's murderous intent was already stirring.
Sun Tianyou could feel the hostility.
But in his heart, he felt immensely relieved.
Before leaving, he gave Zhou Xuan a grateful look.
Zhou Xuan nodded at him and then their gazes no longer met.
At this moment.
Deng Lao had found him.
"Young man, I heard you healed Old Master Fang."
Deng Lao looked at the young man in front of him and asked with some doubt.
"I wouldn't dare. It was just luck," Zhou Xuan replied humbly.
