Chapter 102 Long Wu Lei
“Not bad, brother-in-law.”
Long Shen smiled and said this after looking at Bai Chen for a while.
A moment ago, he had been hiding next to the door. When Bai Chen entered, he had held up his fist, preparing to punch Bai Chen to test him.
He did not expect that before his punch could reach Bai Chen’s face, he would be the one who got punched instead.
Not only that but he was also flung away half a meter. It was enough to show the power of Bai Chen’s punch.
The reason he had to test Bai Chen was that he wanted to see if Bai Chen was suitable for his sister or not.
Long Xu In had obviously called him yesterday to tell him that she would be bringing a male friend to visit grandfather.
He had already assumed that the male friend she was bringing was not a friend, but a boyfriend.
He thought his sister would be too shy to admit that she was bringing her boyfriend since she had never cared for any man or had a boyfriend before. So, he assumed that she had lied.
That was his thought!
But it could not be further from the truth. Bai Chen and Long Xu In were not a couple. They were only friends.
And the reason why she had brought him here was for him to cure her grandfather using the vaccine that could cure any disease. There was nothing more than that.
“Brother-in-law?” Bai Chen immediately had a startled expression. He did not know what this man, whom Long Xu In was calling brother, wanted to say.
“Brother!” Long Xu In’s face flushed. She understood what her brother meant. He must have assumed that Bai Chen was her boyfriend.
“It’s not what you think. He’s only a friend!” Long Xu In explained quickly.
Long Shen rubbed his nose slightly. His nosebleed had stopped at the moment. He looked at Long Xu In, smiling.
“Come on, Xu In. I’m not forcing you to break up with him. I’ve told you before; no matter who you love, I will support you. Grandpa, mum, or dad can’t force you as long as this older brother is still here!”
Long Shen pounded his chest after he finished talking.
Bai Chen’s eyes widened as he listened to what the other party was saying. He finally understood what the young man meant when he said ‘brother-in-law’.
“It’s not like that. Xu In and I…” Bai Chen tried to explain.
But before he could finish, Long Shen laughed. He patted Bai Chen’s shoulder. “Don’t worry. I’m not getting in the way of you and my sister.”
“I…”
“All right. Let’s go see grandpa. He’s in a room on the second floor.”
He did not wait for Bai Chen to say anything much. Long Shen cut him off before leading them to the nearby staircase.
Bai Chen turned to look at Long Xu In’s flushed face. It was unusual to see her like this. Bai Chen stood gazing at her fixedly.
This was because he found that she was very beautiful when she was shy.
“Ig… ignore what my brother said. He’s just that kind of person. I’ll explain to him later.”
Long Xu In saw the stunned look on Bai Chen’s face. Her heart raced faster and her face became redder.
“Let’s go,” she said. She quickly walked past Bai Chen and followed Long Shen.
Her behaviour was just like a rabbit that had been greatly startled by a fox.
Bai Chen blinked and tried to calm himself. He took a deep breath, then followed Long Xu In. He chose to stop thinking of this matter.
Not long after, Bai Chen entered a big bedroom that smelled of medicine. There were a nurse and a doctor in the room.
They were taking care of an old man whose face and body were thin and weak, and who could not move like he wanted to.
This man was lying in the bed without moving. Two IV lines were attached to his hand and arm.
His name was Long Wu Lei. He was Long Xu In and Long Shen’s grandfather. He was sick with an incurable disease, which was MS. He could only lie there and wait for his death.
“Uncle Hao, how is grandpa’s condition?”
When he reached the bedside, Long Shen’s expression turned gloomy. He looked at the doctor sitting on a chair beside the bed.
He was the Long family’s doctor, and his name was Long Hao. He looked up to answer Long Shen without turning to look at him.
“Still the same.”
Long Hao’s brief answer made Long Shen shake his head and sigh.
Long Xu In, who had just reached the side of the bed, looked just as gloomy.
Ding!

Bai Chen was standing behind Long Shen and Long Xu In when the mission window suddenly appeared with a green arrow pointing at the half-conscious old man on the bed.
Bai Chen did not look at the mission window at all. He closed it. He did not need it to tell him what to do because he already knew.
He took advantage of the moment no one was looking at him to send his thoughts to the dimension ring. Then, the magic medicine set suddenly appeared in his hand.
He held on to it while walking to Long Xu In’s side.
“Who is this?” the nurse looked at Bai Chen and asked Long Shen.
Long Shen looked at the nurse and smiled. “Li, I will introduce you. This is…”
Long Shen spoke but had not yet finished his sentence when Long Xu In pinched his waist, making him cry out.
Long Xu In let go before turning to the nurse. “Li, this is a friend of mine.”
“Your friend?” Long Li nodded in understanding.
But that did not stop her from being interested in Bai Chen, because this was the first man Long Xu In had claimed to be her friend. Moreover, she had even brought him to meet her grandfather.
This nurse was clearly a member of the Long family, too. She was the daughter of Long Hao, and Long Xu In’s, and Long Shen’s cousin.
Long Hao turned to look at Bai Chen briefly. He took an interest in him because he knew that she was bringing a male friend to visit her grandfather.
He felt the same way as Long Shen. He thought Bai Chen must be Long Xu In’s boyfriend, not just a friend. He could not help but smile.
He thought to himself, ‘This young girl is finally in love like others.’
Long Xu In certainly could not have heard her Uncle Long Hao’s thought.
Long Xu In was no longer feeling mournful when Bai Chen came and stood next to her with the medicine box in his hand.
She believed that her grandfather would surely be cured from MS if he was injected with the vaccine that Bai Chen had brought!
