Seeing the situation, Xiao Yifei wasn't willing to let it go, and quickly stopped the old man. "Sir, please listen to me." Xiao Yifei held onto the old man, wanting to explain his reason for coming. But the old man completely ignored him and stubbornly tried to close the door.

Seeing the old man's insistence on not meeting him, Xiao Yifei had no choice but to say helplessly, "Then are you not going to treat the years of internal injuries in your body?"

Sure enough, upon hearing this, the old man halted abruptly, turned around, and looked at Xiao Yifei in disbelief. After a while, the old man frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

Seeing that the old man was finally willing to listen, Xiao Yifei breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly, "I'm just a humble doctor."

"Doctor?" The old man squinted slightly, looking suspiciously at this self-proclaimed doctor.

"Yes, I'm just a doctor. I came here to inquire about someone and also to check your chronic illness." Xiao Yifei said respectfully to the old man.

After thinking it over, the old man nodded and finally let Xiao Yifei into the house. The house was not big, and all the furnishings were old, showing that the family's life was not easy.

"Sit down." The old man brought a chair from somewhere for Xiao Yifei to sit on and then took the little girl back to her room. After a while, the old man returned to Xiao Yifei's side.

"Speak, what is it?" The old man coughed and said to Xiao Yifei. Upon hearing this, Xiao Yifei stated his purpose for this visit, "Old man, I wonder if you know someone?"

"Who?" The old man's face turned slightly dark, seemingly aware of who Xiao Yifei wanted to ask about. However, Xiao Yifei didn't notice the old man's unusual expression and slowly mentioned the name Ci Xin.

Upon hearing the name Ci Xin, the old man's face instantly darkened, and he stopped speaking. Seeing this, Xiao Yifei felt something was wrong and quickly asked, "Old man, what's the matter?"

The old man sighed deeply, "I don't know." Saying that, he couldn't help but cough.

Strange, the old man's internal injuries are clearly the same as Sisi's; why does he claim not to know Ci Xin? Could it be something he can't reveal? Pondering this, Xiao Yifei couldn't figure it out, shaking his head helplessly.

"If you don't want to talk about it, could you let me examine your internal injuries?" Xiao Yifei, seeing the old man coughing like this, quickly asked.

Upon hearing this, the old man slowly nodded, and Xiao Yifei took the old man's hand to check his pulse. The pulse was erratic, weak in qi, entirely an appearance of being devastated by inner strength over the years, but why wouldn't the old man speak?

"When did you first feel this inner strength ravaging your body?" Xiao Yifei asked indirectly, unwilling to give up. Upon hearing this, the old man looked at Xiao Yifei and then said faintly, "Several years ago."

Seeing the old man not taking the bait, Lin Xiaoyifei was also helpless, "Ah, Sir, these internal injuries have been with you for many years, they're hard to treat." Saying this, Xiao Yifei shook his head and the old man, with a look of indifference to life, said, "Every doctor has said the same thing; I've long been indifferent."

Hearing the old man's words, Xiao Yifei was momentarily speechless; the old man's nonchalance truly surprised him. "How about this, I'll prescribe you some medicine. Although it can't heal your internal injuries, it will be good for your health."

Hearing this, the old man nodded and thanked Xiao Yifei but didn't say much. Seeing this, Xiao Yifei took out paper and pen and started to write a prescription.

"By the way, is that little girl your granddaughter?" While writing the prescription, Xiao Yifei suddenly thought of the little girl who opened the door for him and asked.

Upon hearing this, the old man nodded and sighed, "But her parents have gone out for work." Hearing the old man's tone, Xiao Yifei also pitied the little girl.

"Old man, here you go, in the future, just follow this prescription." Saying this, Xiao Yifei handed the written prescription to the old man, who quickly thanked him upon receiving it.

"Since you're not willing to say more, I'll take my leave now." Xiao Yifei smiled and prepared to leave. However, just as he was about to step out of the door, the old man suddenly said, "Young man, I see you're a good person, better not investigate this person."

Suddenly hearing this, Xiao Yifei stopped in his tracks. The old man's words suggested he actually knew who Ci Xin was but still advised him against investigating. Why was that? Xiao Yifei was puzzled and turned to look at the old man.

"Why do you say that, Sir?" Xiao Yifei frowned and stared at the old man seated on the chair. Upon hearing this, the old man sighed and said, "Young man, take care of yourself." With that, the old man waved his hand and went back into the room.

Watching the old man's back, Xiao Yifei stood bewildered before turning to leave the door. Yet, the old man's words lingered in his mind. Why was the old man telling him not to investigate further? But it seemed the old man harbored no ill will towards him.

Thinking this, Xiao Yifei walked out the door, still wanting to learn something from the old man, as he was the only clue he had. Since he had promised Liu Rui to investigate Qian Xi, he intended to uncover everything clearly.

After finding a place to stay, it was already late, so Xiao Yifei decided to visit the old man again tomorrow. Having made up his mind, Xiao Yifei washed up and went to sleep.

The next day, Xiao Yifei knocked on the old man's door again. The same little girl opened the door, and upon seeing Xiao Yifei outside, she wanted to call the old man, but Xiao Yifei quickly motioned for her to be quiet.

Then, Xiao Yifei took out a lollipop from his pocket and quietly handed it to the little girl. Naturally, she couldn't resist the lollipop, quickly taking it and putting it in her mouth. "Can I come in?" Xiao Yifei asked, gently patting the little girl's head.

Upon hearing this, the little girl nodded seriously and let Xiao Yifei in. The old man, hearing the noise, came over and saw Xiao Yifei playing with the little girl but said nothing.

Seeing the old man come over, Xiao Yifei respectfully greeted him. The old man slowly sat down and said, "Why are you here again?"

Hearing this, Mr. Li smiled and said, "Sir, what are you saying? I just find your little granddaughter cute, so I came to see her." With that, Xiao Yifei patted the little girl's head again.

Hearing Xiao Yifei's words, the old man had nothing to say. "So, how's your health, Sir?" After a long time, Xiao Yifei asked the old man beside him.

"I'm fine, I won't die." With that, the old man coughed twice. Hearing this, Xiao Yifei smiled, "Sir, you really have a sense of humor."

However, the old man didn't react to Xiao Yifei's joke, making him feel a bit awkward. "Ah, stop asking about her, I won't tell." After a while, the old man said helplessly.
