Chapter Title: Shen Mingshu's Grand Gesture
-------------------------------------
"There are quite a few more people outside, probably around fifty or sixty. Some of them are carrying weapons, which should be the kind of handguns you showed me in the videos."
Inside the girly little room, Yue Ling said so faintly.
"It's fine. After all, she’s his precious darling. It's normal for him to be cautious, don't mind it."
Su Yi shook his head, then said:
"Cast the spell."
He had specifically asked Yue Ling before whether her healing spell could temporarily alleviate Shen Yingying's condition.
The answer he received was naturally affirmative.
In fact, with Yue Ling's strength, even without using the Water of Life, just her advanced elven healing spell would be enough to completely cure this little girl.
But the things the other party had promised were currently only verbal.
So Su Yi naturally wouldn't cure her illness right now.
That was why he had said that tonight he could only alleviate her condition, not cure it completely.
When all the benefits had arrived in his account, that would be the real time for him to cure the little girl's illness.
Yue Ling naturally wouldn’t refuse Su Yi's request.
After receiving clear instructions, she immediately chanted a spell softly.
Soon, a halo of green light floated out from her palm and landed on the sleeping Shen Yingying.
The little girl's brows, which had been tightly furrowed in her sleep due to physical discomfort, instantly relaxed the moment the healing magic fell upon her.
She was clearly much more comfortable now.
"Is that it?"
After waiting for a good while, Su Yi didn't see Yue Ling make any subsequent moves, so he couldn't help but ask her to confirm.
"It's done."
Yue Ling nodded affirmatively.
"If she could only live for a month at most before this, then now, even if we leave her alone, she can still live for at least half a year."
"Awesome!"
Su Yi didn’t hold back his praise.
No matter how many times he saw it, seeing this kind of extraordinary power coming from the hands of a living being with his own eyes was enough to leave him shocked.
With a single thought, bringing a dying person back to life— such mighty power previously only existed in people's imaginations.
And now, through the trading platform, all of it was within Su Yi’s reach.
......
In order to not make Shen Mingshu suspicious, Su Yi and Yue Ling stayed in the little girl's room for nearly half an hour before opening the door and coming out.
As soon as the door opened, Shen Mingshu hurried over and asked eagerly:
"How is it?"
"I’m fortunate enough not to have failed my mission."
Su Yi smiled and continued.
"Although this can’t completely cure Miss Shen's condition, it can at least make her much more comfortable."
Patients undergoing treatment for terminal cancer were usually in a great deal of pain.
Short of a complete cure, just being able to achieve something like this was already a massive favor to many patients and their relatives.
Shen Mingshu expressed his thanks repeatedly and, using the excuse that it was late, invited Su Yi and Yue Ling to stay overnight.
Su Yi knew what he meant, so naturally, he didn't decline.
When this kind of wealthy family handled affairs, they focused on rigorousness. The trope often seen in TV dramas or novels — where a man and a woman in the ambiguous stage of a relationship stay at a strange place, and the host defaults to them being a couple and only arranges one room for them at night — didn’t happen.
The people of the Shen family very tactfully asked Su Yi’s opinion before leading them to two adjacent guest rooms.
Yue Ling played games all night again.
But this time, she played a match-3 game.
Su Yi, as usual, slept all the way until noon the next day before waking up.
As a result, as soon as he finished washing up and went out, he saw Shen Mingshu waiting for him at the door with Shen Yingying.
Upon seeing him come out, Shen Mingshu hurriedly stood up and said to the little girl:
"Quick, thank you, Uncle!"
"Thank you, Uncle!"
A tender voice accompanied by an innocent, childish tone rang out.
It brought Su Yi, whose brain hadn't quite started turning yet after just waking up, back to his senses.
He carefully examined Shen Yingying's little face.
Compared to the visible haggardness from last night, she indeed looked much rosier today.
Yue Ling's healing spell really did work.
Shen Mingshu brought his daughter here to wait for Su Yi, seemingly just to thank him.
After thanking him, he had someone take his daughter away, and then he said to Su Yi very sincerely:
"A professional medical team has already examined Yingying this morning. The test results shocked even the attending physician. Although the cancer cells in Yingying's body have yet to be eradicated, they’ve been greatly reduced, and her normal cells haven’t been affected, which is a completely different effect from chemotherapy. The doctor said that he had never seen this kind of situation before.
Mr. Su, to be honest, I really didn't expect that you could actually achieve this much. In my opinion, being able to reduce some of Yingying's pain is already enough to be worthy of the remuneration I'm paying you. Even if it can't be completely cured, I won't cause you any more trouble.
So... I want an honest opinion from you. Can Yingying's illness truly be completely cured?"
To put it bluntly, Shen Mingshu letting Su Yi try was actually just driven by a mentality of him treating a dead horse as a living one.
Even now, he still somewhat couldn't believe that this young man in front of him could actually do better in treating cancer than doctors backed by modern technology.
In fact, the attending physician had said another sentence this morning that he hadn't told Su Yi.
That was, given Shen Yingying's current state, it couldn't even be considered terminal cancer anymore. At most, it could only be classified as early-to-mid stage.
If a suitable bone marrow transplant could be found, the hope for a cure was very high.
And for Shen Mingshu, as long as there was hope, finding suitable bone marrow was actually not a big problem for him.
But this kind of treatment method would definitely be accompanied by many after-effects in the later stages.
Having witnessed Su Yi's miraculous methods, he naturally wanted something better.
"It can."
With almost no hesitation, Su Yi nodded and gave Shen Mingshu the answer he wanted.
The latter didn't ask any further. After letting out a long breath, he handed a document bag placed beside him to Su Yi.
"Mr. Su, the matter has already been handled for you. Yuanfeng Farm, along with six other large-scale farms surrounding Yuanfeng Farm, totaling 17,000 mu of land, I’ve consolidated them all into a super large-scale farm. Of course, externally, this is generally called an agricultural demonstration zone, but in essence, there's no difference.
This farm is now under your name. It hasn't been named yet, and I've already found a temporary manager for you. The procedural issues have also been cleared up for you. Whatever company name you desire, just give the manager a call. Their phone number is also inside the documents.
In addition, I’ve also registered a wholly-owned agricultural products trading company in your name. You can likewise have the manager handle the procedures to change the name later.
The forty-seven kilograms of gold you gave me last night, based on the current market price, totaled exactly twenty-five million eight hundred and fifty thousand. I made the decision to round it up for you to thirty million. It has all been transferred into this company's account. You can withdraw and use it at any time, and the taxes have already been paid."
As he spoke, he took a deep breath.
"If Mr. Su can truly cure Yingying's illness, I’ll subsequently transfer another five hundred million to the company's account as a token of my gratitude. Besides that, I personally, and the entire Shen family, will owe you a massive favor.
Of course, even if it can't be cured, what I said earlier still counts. I’ll absolutely not cause you any trouble."

T/N - I knew it. Shen Mingshu really did handle everything for the MC. Now everything he has is clean, legitimate, and ready to use. I still feel like the MC got a hand-out here, but it sets him up quite nicely for the future.
