Cheng Wei felt Cheng Kexin was completely brainless.
Did she think one could just invite a TCM practitioner who attended the US Medical Exchange Conference on demand, especially in such a desperate situation?
Not everyone was greedy for money. In the past, Cheng Wei believed money could solve anything. But after visiting Modu, he realized money wasn't omnipotent; there were too many things it couldn't fix.
Take that Young Master Xia, for instance. Could money solve him?
He wasn't after money; money was just waste paper to him.
Cheng Kexin was speechless after being lectured by her elder brother. He was right; time was too urgent. They didn't even know who the TCM practitioner was, how could they find them?
In fact, Cheng Wei himself knew that if they could truly invite that TCM practitioner, their parents might have a chance.
Ah…
Qin Minyan suddenly cried out.
She remembered what Xia Feng had told her: "While there's still time, spend more time with your in-laws and fulfill your filial duties."
Those words had been echoing in Qin Minyan's ears. Xia Feng's statement had sounded incredibly jarring at the time, as if implying she and her husband weren't filial.
Besides, they lived with their in-laws, so they had plenty of time to accompany them.
Qin Minyan suddenly realized with a jolt. Xia Feng's suggestion to spend more time with her in-laws wasn't about their lack of filial piety; it was because Xia Feng had seen her parents-in-law's current predicament back then?
Terrifying.
Astonishing.
"What are you doing? Why the sudden outburst?" Cheng Wei cursed unhappily.
"Everyone is anxiously trying to find a solution, what's with your yelling?"
"Honey, I've thought of a possibility," Qin Minyan said to Cheng Wei, feeling that Xia Feng was like a god, capable of predicting life and death. She spoke with a hint of panic.
"What possibility?"
Qin Minyan's words drew everyone's attention.
"Do you remember that Young Master Xia we met at my father's birthday party at our house?" Qin Minyan asked.
"Naturally."
Cheng Wei replied without hesitation.
How could he forget?
Such an important figure, he would remember even if he turned to ash.
"What Young Master Xia?" Cheng Dong and Cheng Kexin asked, confused.
"Don't ask about this. His power is beyond your comprehension," Cheng Wei didn't want to say more. Anyway, they could never associate with Young Master Xia, so there was no need for them to know about him.
The two fell silent, feeling puzzled.
"Continue," Cheng Wei urged.
"Do you remember what I told you? Young Master Xia asked me to spend more time with our parents and fulfill our filial duties during this period. Doesn't that mean Young Master Xia had already foreseen this?"
Qin Minyan recalled the scene at the time and repeated Xia Feng's words to her.
Hiss…
Cheng Wei also remembered, and a chill spread through his body.
He indeed remembered Qin Minyan telling him this. At the time, he hadn't taken it seriously and even thought Xia Feng was being too meddlesome.
But now, upon reflection, it was highly possible that Xia Feng had foreseen it long ago.
Combined with the fawning of Old Patriarch Orwell and Xia Feng's status, he had no reason to doubt it.

Cheng Wei stood frozen in the corridor, his eyes filled with disbelief and terror.
"Brother, what's wrong?" Cheng Kexin asked with concern.
"Over a month ago, someone already saw through our parents' problems," Cheng Wei said weakly.
"Ah… how could this be? Can we ask this person for help again?" Cheng Kexin exclaimed in surprise.
"Help? Heh heh…"
Cheng Wei chuckled self-deprecatingly.
If it were someone else, they could still try to beg for help. But to beg Xia Feng?
What was Cheng Wei, in his eyes?
He couldn't even get an audience, let alone beg for help.
"Brother, what do you mean? Are you just going to watch our parents die?" Cheng Dong also said anxiously. "We can pay any amount."
"Money? If there's anything money can't solve in this world, it's with Young Master Xia," Cheng Wei scoffed.
"If one hundred million isn't enough, then ten hundred million. I don't believe we can't get someone to help with treatment," Cheng Dong continued his thoughtless remark.
"Stop talking. You don't understand the situation. Not to mention ten hundred million, even a thousand hundred million placed before him, he wouldn't even blink," Cheng Wei rebuked Cheng Dong.
"Is a problem that money can solve still a problem?"
"If money can't solve a problem, it only means one thing: there isn't enough money."
Only Xia Feng was different; it was truly a problem that money couldn't solve.
"Then what should we do? Now that we've finally seen hope, are we just going to miss it?" Cheng Dong asked.
Cheng Wei remained silent. He didn't want to miss the opportunity either.
"Honey, let's go back to Modu. Let's go back right away and beg my father," Qin Minyan suggested.
Cheng Wei's eyes lit up at her suggestion. Yes, why had he forgotten his father-in-law?
If his father-in-law was willing to help, there might be a sliver of hope. He himself certainly had no chance.
"Alright, let's go immediately. I'll arrange the plane," Cheng Wei agreed.
A day was enough for a round trip from Modu. If Xia Feng refused to help, they would be helpless.
Instead of sitting here waiting for death, they might as well try their luck in Modu. Perhaps with his father-in-law's help, there was a chance.
"You two stay at the hospital. Call me immediately if anything happens," Cheng Wei instructed, and then left with Qin Minyan, leaving their son Cheng Youyou with them to look after.
Modu.
By the time Cheng Wei and Qin Minyan arrived, it was already dark. Whether it succeeded or not today, they had to catch a flight back to Xiangjiang the next morning, which would also be to bid their parents farewell.
"Dad, I was arrogant before, and it was all my fault. I beg you, for the sake of Minyan and Youyou, please help save my parents."
Cheng Wei knelt as soon as he saw Qin Kaihu.
This action completely bewildered Qin Kaihu.
"It's not Lunar New Year, why are you suddenly kneeling? Are you expecting a red envelope from me?"
"What's wrong with your parents?"
Qin Kaihu asked with concern.
Then, Cheng Wei explained his parents' hospitalization to Qin Kaihu in detail and recounted what Xia Feng had said to Qin Minyan.
Qin Kaihu was surprised upon hearing this, but not overly shocked.
Because he knew that nothing that happened with Xia Feng was unusual.
"I understand why you've come today. You want me to invite Young Master Xia to help save your parents in Xiangjiang?" Qin Kaihu understood Cheng Wei's intention.
"Yes, please help, Dad," Cheng Wei replied.
Qin Kaihu was now in a difficult position. If it were any other matter, he would have refused directly, but with lives at stake, he had to hesitate.
But the other party was Xia Feng. What right did he have to ask Xia Feng for help?
"You've given me a monumental task. Your parents are in critical condition, and I am also very anxious, but you should know that Young Master Xia's status is different," Qin Kaihu said helplessly.
He couldn't make up his mind, caught between a rock and a hard place.
