Chapter 91: Resolving Concerns
Upon returning to the Spring and Autumn Medical Clinic, Xia Jun noticed obvious scratches and minor collision marks on Xia Yu's car. These were the result of Yan Shining's attempts to avoid collisions.
Given the heavy traffic at that intersection, Xia Yu's escape was impressive. Avoiding all scratches and collisions was nearly impossible, and avoiding the flower beds and other vehicles was a testament to Yan Shining's impressive driving skills.
With a concerned expression, Xia Jun asked, "Ah Yu, what happened?"
"On the road, a truck tried to hit me. As expected, it was the Ma family's doing!" Xia Yu said with a grim face. He didn't hide the truth from Xia Jun.
Xia Jun frowned deeply, surprised that Xia Yu had encountered danger so soon after going out. It was clear that Xia Yu had been targeted.
Xia Jun scanned the surroundings, suspecting that there might be someone monitoring them nearby. Unfortunately, it wasn't easy to spot such people.
"Ah Yu, you should try to stay indoors for the next few days. If you must go out, avoid their line of sight and keep a low profile," Xia Jun advised seriously.
"I know that. What worries me more now is my parents, Xiao Ming, and Xiao Mei. If the Ma family finds out they can't deal with me, they might turn their attention to my family!" Xia Yu said, his expression serious.
As he mentioned, since the Ma family had resorted to assassination attempts, the enmity was already established and would not easily be resolved.
If the Ma family failed to kill him repeatedly, they might resort to targeting his family to force him into the open. Xia Yu would be driven mad in that situation!
However, returning home now was risky. Being the primary target, returning home could bring danger to his family. Additionally, Xia Lei needed care, so staying at the Spring and Autumn Medical Clinic was the safest option.
"What should we do?"
Hearing Xia Yu's concerns, Xia Jun also panicked, his face full of anxiety.
"Boss, you could find someone to protect your family at home," Yan Shining suggested.
"But the problem is, I can't find anyone to protect my family!" Xia Yu said with a sigh, looking at Yan Shining.
As Xia Yu explained, he indeed had difficulty finding someone to protect his family. With no security companies available in Hong Kong, finding bodyguards was challenging. If not for encountering Yan Shining, even his own bodyguards would be missing.
Moreover, apart from professional bodyguards, he didn't know anyone else. His lack of connections was glaringly evident at this moment!
"Boss, you might not be able to find someone, but you can ask Dr. Li, especially his son Li Wuyang. He definitely has people. It's just a matter of whether he is willing to help!" Yan Shining suggested.
He remembered that Li Wuyang had called someone the night before. Although he couldn't understand the conversation well, he realized that Li Wuyang was indeed calling for help.
Moreover, he had felt that someone was watching the clinic later on, likely people Li Wuyang had summoned, indicating that Li Wuyang had his own network!
Xia Yu looked sharply at Yan Shining, noting that Yan Shining was very serious and clearly had discovered something.
However, Xia Yu didn't need to ask further. Knowing that there were people at the Spring and Autumn Medical Clinic was sufficient. Given Li Chunqiu's repeated assistance and his desire to teach Xia Yu martial arts that morning, Li Chunqiu definitely held significant goodwill towards him. If there were people at the clinic, Xia Yu could indeed seek their help successfully.
Without delay, Xia Yu decided to arrange for his parents' safety as soon as possible.
"I'll go right away!"
With that, Xia Yu hurriedly went to find Li Chunqiu.
...
"No problem!"
After hearing Xia Yu's request, Li Chunqiu immediately agreed without hesitation. He then turned to his son Li Wuyang with a surprised Xia Yu watching and said, "Wuyang, go find a few reliable and capable disciples to protect Xia Sheng's family during this period."
"Okay, Father!" Li Wuyang nodded expressionlessly. After a brief glance at Xia Yu, he stood up and left.
Watching Li Wuyang's departing figure, Xia Yu felt a sense of anticipation. He clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and expressed his gratitude to Li Chunqiu, saying, "Thank you, Master Li!"
"It's a small effort, no need to mention it."
"Wait here for a moment. My son will bring people over shortly. I need to go treat Yan Hong first," Li Chunqiu said before leaving for Yan Hong's ward. Yan Shining followed Xia Yu's instructions and went with him to stay with Yan Hong for a while.
"Ah Yu, it seems Master Li's family is quite extraordinary!"
Once they were alone, Xia Jun spoke with a serious expression to Xia Yu.
Xia Yu nodded in agreement and whispered, "It's fine as long as they mean no harm to us. Other things are not important. We'll understand more in the future."
Xia Jun nodded, fully agreeing with Xia Yu's assessment.
Although Xia Yu spoke this way, he was pondering the peculiarities of Li Chunqiu's family. Li Chunqiu was increasingly impressive, not only skilled in medicine but also knowledgeable in divination and martial arts. His son Li Wuyang even had disciples. Xia Yu wondered if more would be revealed in the future.
However, Xia Yu was more certain that Li Chunqiu did not mean any harm. Although he didn't understand why Li Chunqiu was so kind, Xia Yu chose not to dwell on it.
In this world, there is no love without reason. Li Chunqiu's repeated assistance to him surely meant there were expectations.
But Xia Yu considered it normal. It's good to be of value to others in life.
If one's value to others has disappeared, it indicates one has become a useless person, and living would be a waste of resources!
No matter what Li Chunqiu's intentions are, Xia Yu remembered his kindness!
As long as it's not a life-threatening demand or one that significantly harms his interests, Xia Yu would certainly fulfill his requests.
A small kindness should be repaid with great gratitude!
Moreover, Li Chunqiu's help was indeed timely and not just once. Xia Yu couldn't possibly fail to reciprocate.
He would wait to see how to repay it, and for now, his priority was to become stronger quickly to have the ability to meet Li Chunqiu's future demands!
...
Before long, Li Wuyang arrived with four strong young men, ready to take orders from Xia Yu.
Xia Yu instructed them in detail, and seeing their resolute expressions, he felt reassured. He then provided them with the family address and access credentials so they could head to Xia Yu's home.
After they left, Xia Yu called home to inform his parents of the situation. He asked them to prepare rooms for the new arrivals and emphasized the need for safety. He told them he would be away for a few days and instructed them to take good care of themselves.
Given how obvious it was now that he was sending people to protect his family, Xia Yu knew he couldn't hide the truth from his parents. He told them he had encountered some trouble outside and wouldn't be returning for a while, asking them to take care of themselves.
After giving the final instructions, Xia Yu ended the call with a long sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Brother Li!" Xia Yu said earnestly to Li Wuyang.
"No need to thank me," Li Wuyang replied with a faint smile.
