Dandy Pill God-Chapter 180 Scorpion’s Origin

"Mm."

Song Yan nodded, then seemed to think of something and hurriedly said to Zhu Fei, "By the way, Mr. Zhu, while the Lv family hasn’t found your two friends yet, you should warn them quickly."

"If they get caught by the Lv family’s people, I fear that even we old men might not be able to save them."

Upon hearing Song Yan’s words again, Zhu Fei was suddenly startled.

He quickly nodded to Song Yan and didn’t think of anything else, immediately taking out his cellphone to call Lin Hao.

"Wait."

Just then, Scorpion, who was nearby, suddenly reached out to stop Zhu Fei.

Zhu Fei turned to look at Scorpion, seeing her usual indifferent expression, but she said:

"Use the phone I gave you earlier. I suspect that after the incidents here, Lv Chenglong might monitor your calls."

"Yes, Scorpion is right," Mr. Zhu, listen to Scorpion. Although we are not afraid of the Lv family, your friends are just Loose Cultivators and must not be careless."

Song Yan was initially surprised by Scorpion’s words, unsure when she had given Zhu Fei that special phone.

But he was not concerned about that now but supported Scorpion’s advice instead.

Zhu Fei was aware of Lin Hao’s situation; they couldn’t compare to his own.

So, without any objections, he took out the phone Scorpion had given him, inserted his SIM card into it, and directly called Lin Hao.

During the call, Zhu Fei informed Lin Hao and his wife about the Lv family’s situation and reminded them to be careful and keep their whereabouts hidden to avoid detection by the Lv family.

Lin Hao and his wife naturally agreed and thanked Zhu Fei.

They also told Zhu Fei that they likely couldn’t attend the upcoming auction at Treasure Pavilion and hoped he would understand.

Zhu Fei certainly understood.

...

After Zhu Fei hung up the phone, Song Yan said to him, "Mr. Zhu, there’s something else I’d like to consult you about. If possible, shall we find a new place to have a good talk?"

"Mm, sounds good."

Zhu Fei didn’t refuse Song Yan’s sudden proposal and readily nodded.

He could roughly guess that Song Yan’s reason for seeking him out might be related to Scorpion’s health condition.

Although with Zhu Fei’s current abilities, he didn’t have a good solution for Scorpion’s condition.

But since Song Yan had mentioned it, he naturally couldn’t refuse.

In fact, he was somewhat curious about Scorpion’s condition.

After discussing the earlier issue with everyone present, reminding them to keep it confidential, Song Yan personally led Zhu Fei to a separate room.

Once they were in the room, Song Yan didn’t beat around the bush but directly asked Zhu Fei:

"Mr. Zhu, I suppose you could guess why I asked you here alone. I wanted to consult you about Little Tian’s health condition. Do you have any good solutions?"

Hearing Song Yan’s question, a bitter smile immediately appeared on Zhu Fei’s lips, which made Song Yan’s heart suddenly sink.

"Indeed," Zhu Fei said with a shake of his head, his voice tinged with helplessness, "Old Song, I won’t hide it from you, there’s no good solution for Scorpion’s health condition at the moment, at least not with the resources we have right now."

"But, just now, you clearly..."

Song Yan, still somewhat reluctant, couldn’t help but ask again.

"Heh, what I did earlier was merely a temporary relief for her body. It’s not of any substantial benefit considering what her body is currently lacking."

"Sigh... I knew it..."

Hearing Zhu Fei’s answer, Song Yan finally sighed with a sense of powerlessness.

He shook his head with a bitter expression and said, "Even you can’t help her. It seems that Scorpion’s fate is truly determined by the heavens; there’s nothing else to be done."

At this moment, Song Yan looked somewhat desolate, and even in his brow lingered an indelible trace of sorrow and pain.

This was the first time Zhu Fei had seen him show such an expression since he had known Song Yan.

After a moment of thought and a slight pause, Zhu Fei finally asked, "Old Song, may I know what Scorpion’s relationship with you is?"

Zhu Fei had not forgotten that Scorpion was Lv Chenglong’s daughter.

He was somewhat puzzled as to why Song Yan, given his relationship with the Lv family, would show such grandfatherly affection toward Lv Chenglong’s daughter.

"Heh, Mr. Zhu, there’s nothing I need to hide from you about this matter. Since you’ve brought it up, I might as well tell you."

Song Yan chuckled indifferently, then after a brief pause, he revealed the entire relationship between him and Scorpion to Zhu Fei.

It turned out, just as Song Yan had previously stated when confronting Lv Chenglong, that Scorpion was an abandoned baby.

And Scorpion’s experiences and fate were almost strikingly similar to those of the original owner of the body Zhu Fei now inhabited.

According to Song Yan, Scorpion’s mother was a woman who had been violated by Lv Chenglong.

After Scorpion’s mother gave birth to her alone and discovered her congenital defects, she tried to find Lv Chenglong, hoping he would help treat their daughter, out of familial obligation.

But Lv Chenglong, being cruel by nature, not only ignored his flawed daughter entirely but also, to preserve his own reputation, secretly poisoned Scorpion’s mother, hoping to completely erase both of them from this world.

According to Song Yan, it was the first day of the lunar new year, a night with snow swirling in the sky.

He had just returned from an assignment and was passing through an alley when he stumbled upon a woman, nearly at her last breath.

And in her arms, she clutched Scorpion, who was still just a baby at that time.

Just like the melodramatic scenes often depicted in TV dramas, Scorpion’s mother entrusted Scorpion to Song Yan with her dying breath.

Coincidentally, Song Yan happened to be a skilled doctor. He immediately noticed that Scorpion’s mother had been poisoned.

Though there was nothing he could do to save her given her condition at that time.

Thus, under Song Yan’s enquiry, he learned about this part of Scorpion’s origin story.

...

After hearing about Scorpion’s background, Zhu Fei remained silent for over ten minutes.

After more than ten minutes, he finally frowned and spoke to Song Yan again, "Old Song, I must tell you, there might not be a complete impossibility to treat Scorpion’s current condition."

"However..."
