Chapter 319 - 319: Grandmaster Yang’s Special Patient (1/2)

”Oh, to make you guys believe me he's not completely heartless,” Yang Nina is still his granddaughter, and as a filial granddaughter, she opt to earn a brownie point in his behalf.

”Grandpa is taking care of a woman who was said to have been kidnapped and tortured by a notorious mafia organization.”

Three ears perked at mention of the Underworld.

”The poor woman was malnourished with evident signs of extreme abuse. She was mentally unstable and can't determine who the people around her were, as per mentioned by her caretakers. Her tongue was also cut off, maybe to keep her silent.”

It's not really a secret since the woman's caretakers didn't warned her to keep quiet about it, so Yang Nina thought it's fine to disclose it to her new friends.

Han Taiyi and Chu Lizheng winced and blanched at the description.

”How could they do such a thing.” Death said in all seriousness as he chewed on a cookie like he's eating a popcorn while watching a horror movie.

Lillie pinched his thigh, making him choke on the cookie.

”Grandpa did a great job in treating her. Her caretakers said she's like a crazy zombie before. Now, she can understand everyone and can think for herself.”

”That's a relief. It would've taken many years, or even never, for a victim like her to recover.” Lillie pinched her chin. ”But if we're talking about Grandmaster Yang, who's labelled as a miracle doctor, then the probability of her recovering is 100%.”

”Sister Shengming is right!” Finally, she manage to make them see her grandfather in different lighting. ”I also heard grandpa already fixed her tongue by transplant. She'll be able to talk again soon.”

”Hah, so he went for a logical solution this time?”

”What does Sister Taiyi mean by this?”

Finding her appetite again, Han Taiyi continue eating her osmanthus jelly. ”Knowing Grandmaster Yang, he would probably invent a medicine that regenerates her tongue or something.” She said, her voice slightly muffled by the dessert.

”I wouldn't be surprised anymore if Grandmaster Yang did manage to create such bizarre solution.” Chu Lizheng sighed. ”He's quite well known for...stirring away from normalcy.”

Everyone besides Yang Nina nodded in agreement with Chu Lizheng's statement. She looked at her seniors with a baffled expression.

Seems she has yet to know much about her grandfather.

Yang Nina stared at the ceiling in a pondering look. She tapped her index finger on her lips and hummed, ”What was her name again? I heard one of her caretakers call her before. I think it's Yi...Yi Lei?”

Closing her eyes, she racked deeper into her memories. The others patiently waited and kept quiet for her to concentrate.

A moment later, she snapped her fingers and exclaimed, ”Yu Mei!”

Three minds thought one thing.

Ah, he brought her here.

”Yu Mei, you say? Ah Zheng, have we heard of this name before? 'Cause it sounds really familiar.”

”I believe she's that girl who went missing years ago. We're still Earth students that time, and her name appeared on the confidential mission board. It was an S-class too.”

”Oh, right! I remember now!” Han Taiyi nodded, striking her fist on her palm. ”The girl who Lillie Bai was accused of kidnapping and murdering.”

”She was on the confidential mission board? Just who was this woman?”
