Chapter 571: I Want to Try (1)

Chu Zhengwei was aware of the Gu family’s situation. And because of that, he knew exactly who Gu Hengzhi was trying to find this doctor for—the same person who had cured his own chronic illness.

If Shen Nian’s medical skills weren’t so incredible, it wouldn’t matter if she failed to cure them. But the problem was, Chu Zhengwei had immense faith in her abilities.

Chu Zhengwei sympathized deeply with the Gu family’s plight and could even relate, but he was unwilling to bring trouble upon Shen Nian.

After all, if Shen Nian cured a member of the Gu Family, the news would undoubtedly create huge waves once it got out—far more serious than the ripples caused by his own recovery.

The first to make a move upon learning that Shen Nian had cured someone from the Gu Family would certainly be the Qin family.

Lately, the Qin family’s wolfish ambition was becoming increasingly difficult to hide, and their actions were growing bolder and more conspicuous.

If the Qin Family discovered Shen Nian possessed such an ability and had used it to cure a member of the Gu Family—whom they saw as a threat—they would undoubtedly turn all their animosity toward Shen Nian.

The Chu Family would protect Shen Nian, of course. Chu Zhengwei even believed that if Shen Nian truly helped the Gu Family, they wouldn’t abandon her either.

But it was better to be safe than sorry. Who knew what kind of depraved acts the Qin Family might commit?

"Hengzhi, I’m sorry, but about this matter..."

After turning it all over in his mind, Chu Zhengwei began to refuse, despite his admiration for the young man from the Gu family.

But in the end, Shen Nian’s well-being held a more important place in his heart.

"I understand your reservations, Mr. Chu. But if there’s even a small chance, I refuse to give up, no matter the cost!"

Gu Hengzhi cut him off before he could finish. Hearing his words left a bitter taste in Chu Zhengwei’s mouth.

Whether it was due to his own standing, the relationship between the Chu and Gu families, or the precarious situation the Gu family was in, Chu Zhengwei knew he shouldn’t refuse Gu Hengzhi’s request.

Moreover, the absolute devotion Gu Hengzhi displayed for his family was deeply moving to Chu Zhengwei.

The other members of the Chu Family heard Gu Hengzhi as well. From Chu Zhengwei’s opening words, they had understood his reservations. Thus, none of them spoke up, believing that Chu Zhengwei’s handling of the situation was correct.

And yet, just like him, hearing Gu Hengzhi’s plea left them all with a bitter feeling.

"Hengzhi, we all understand how you feel, but..."

"Mr. Chu, I know I shouldn’t press the issue, but please, try to understand my desperation. If you are not at liberty to reveal this person’s identity, could you at least convey my request to them? As long as they are willing, the Gu family will do everything in our power to meet any demand they might have!"

After saying this, Gu Hengzhi fixed his gaze on Chu Zhengwei, awaiting his reply.

Upon hearing Gu Hengzhi’s final plea, Chu Zhengwei fell silent for a long moment. At last, he let out a sigh.

"Alright. I’ll ask for you."
