Chapter 41 This isn't an illness, it's possession.
Shen Yu leaned back in the car seat, eyes closed, expression indifferent, and simply nodded.
"Okay, I understand. We'll see when we get there and then we'll talk about it."
His nonchalant demeanor instantly put Qin Zhengxiong and Lu Zongming at ease.
If Mr. Shen dares to accept the offer, it means he is confident in his ability to handle the matter.
More than half an hour later, the car stopped in front of the Su family's detached villa located halfway up the mountain.
The patriarch of the Su family, Su Qiming, along with his son Su Jianbin and his wife, were already waiting at the door.
Upon seeing the car stop, the group immediately rushed over, their attitude extremely respectful.
"Mr. Shen, I've long admired your name. I'm so grateful for your trouble."
Although Su Qiming was over seventy years old, he was in excellent spirits. He bowed slightly to Shen Yu, his tone full of pleading.
"I entrust my daughter's illness to you."
Shen Yu nodded slightly in response, his tone indifferent: "Let's see the person first."
As the group walked inside, they found several younger members of the Su family sitting in the living room. When they saw that Shen Yu was only in his early twenties, dressed in simple casual clothes, and looked nothing like the miracle doctor they remembered, their eyes immediately showed disdain and suspicion.
Which legendary doctor doesn't have gray hair and beard?
Given Shen Yu's youthful appearance, even if he started learning medicine from the womb, he couldn't possibly be more experienced than those old men.
They're definitely scammers.
Su Yumei's cousin, Su Minghui, leaned close to his older cousin, Su Qing, and chuckled in a low voice:
"I thought he was some kind of miracle doctor, but he's just a greenhorn. I think he's a fraud. Dad and Grandpa were just desperate and would invite anyone to their house."
Su Qing also pursed her lips and whispered in agreement:
"Exactly. So many top experts, both domestically and internationally, can't cure this disease. What kind of skill could a guy in his twenties possibly have? I think he's just here to scam money."
The two people didn't speak loudly, but their voices were just loud enough for Qin Zhengxiong, who was walking in front, to hear.
Qin Zhengxiong's face darkened, and he was about to turn around and reprimand him, but Shen Yu raised his hand to stop him.
Shen Yu remained expressionless, as if he hadn't heard anything, and walked straight to the bedroom on the second floor without stopping.
He didn't take these petty clowns' idle gossip to heart at all.
In the master bedroom on the second floor, thick blackout curtains were drawn, making the room dimly lit despite it being daytime, and it also carried an inexplicable chill, completely out of place with the sweltering summer outside.
Su Yumei lay quietly on a large bed.
She was wearing a silk nightgown; her figure was slender, and her skin was so white it was almost translucent.
Her face was extremely beautiful, with a beauty mark at the corner of her eye. Even now, in a deep sleep, pale and barely breathing, she could not hide her innate charm.
For some reason, even though it was the middle of summer and she was covered with a blanket, she was still ice-cold and shivering.
It felt like the dead of winter, not the height of summer.
Two private doctors stood by the bed, having just finished examining Su Yumei and were packing up their equipment. Seeing the group enter, they shook their heads helplessly at Su Qiming.
"Mr. Su, all of Mr. Su's vital signs are normal, but he just won't wake up. We really can't find any problems, so we can only continue to keep him alive with intravenous nutrition."
Su Qiming sighed, his face full of worry, and gestured for Shen Yu to proceed.
"Mr. Shen, what do you think..."
Shen Yu took two steps forward, his gaze falling on Su Yumei. His divine sense instantly spread out, scanning her entire body.
With just one glance, he saw the root of the problem.
Su Yumei's body was covered with an intense, impenetrable black Yin energy, which caused her seven souls to be locked up by the Yin energy and her three spirits to be entangled by resentment.
The source of the malevolent energy was the black coral pendant she wore around her neck.
Ordinary hospitals can only detect physical ailments, not yin spirits, so no matter how many tests are done, the conclusion is always that there is no problem.
Her condition is already very serious. If this drags on any longer, the evil spirits will invade her heart meridian, and even a god couldn't save her.
Shen Yu withdrew his gaze, his expression calm, and uttered a sentence that caused an uproar throughout the room:
"This isn't an illness; she's possessed by an evil spirit, afflicted by malevolent energy."
After these words were spoken, the bedroom was silent for two seconds, then erupted into chaos.
"What nonsense are you spouting?!"
Su Minghui was the first to rush in, indignantly saying,
"My sister clearly has a rare and complicated illness, and you're just spouting nonsense about her being possessed by evil spirits? I think you're just a charlatan pretending to be a ghost!"
Su Qing followed her in, her face full of disdain:
"Exactly! What kind of superstition is this? What era are we living in? Why are you still spouting this feudal superstition? We've consulted so many top experts from home and abroad, and none of them have said anything like this. You're just a kid, spouting nonsense. I think you're just here to scam money!"
Su Jianbin and his wife also frowned, their eyes instantly filled with suspicion and distrust as they looked at Shen Yu.
They were all honest businessmen who believed in science their whole lives. They didn't believe in things like being possessed by evil spirits or demons, and they just thought Shen Yu was a fraud.
Even Su Qiming hesitated, his eyes filled with uncertainty as he looked at Shen Yu.
He had lived most of his life and was quite knowledgeable, but he had never heard of being possessed by evil spirits.
Upon hearing this, Qin Zhengxiong's face instantly darkened, and he shouted sternly:
"Shut up, all of you! Who is Mr. Shen? Who are you to question him? When I was poisoned and unconscious, it was Mr. Shen who saved me with a single acupuncture needle! Which of those experts you found has that ability?!"
Lu Zongming also said with a cold face:
"If you don't believe Mr. Shen, we'll leave now. Don't regret it if he's gone."
Su Minghui, however, still stubbornly looked at Shen Yu with unconvinced expression:
"Even if he's a skilled doctor, he can't just accuse my sister of being possessed by an evil spirit! Show me the evidence!"
All eyes instantly fell on Shen Yu, waiting for his response.
Shen Yu merely raised his hand, pointing to the black coral pendant around Su Yumei's neck, and said, "Evidence? It's simple. Her illness started after she started wearing this pendant, am I right?"
Upon hearing this, Su Jianbin and his wife were instantly stunned, their doubt turning into shock.
No one except her family knows when Su Yumei started wearing this pendant!
The bedroom fell silent instantly. Su Jianbin looked at Shen Yu, his face filled with disbelief, and said:
"How...how did you know? This pendant was worn by Yumei on her birthday more than three months ago, and it was around that time that her health problems started!"
