Chapter 1719 - 1655: Heard His Name

"Xiao Chiang, it’s me, Grandpa Chen."

Chen Baoshen’s voice came through, catching Chiang Xiao somewhat off guard.

"Grandpa Chen, is there something you need?"

Because Chen Baoshen’s voice sounded distinctly different from usual, with a hint of seriousness.

Chiang Xiao felt a trace of unease.

As expected, Chen Baoshen didn’t engage in small talk and directly said, "I’m just calling to see if you’re home. Do you have some time to come to Renzhi Hall?"

Clearly, something was up.

Chiang Xiao looked a bit troubled at Ah Liu, who was still lying on the sofa, and said, "Grandpa Chen, I can’t really leave right now..."

If it were usually, she could let Ah Liu stay at home by himself while she went out for a bit without any issues.

But now, she felt uneasy about leaving Ah Liu and didn’t dare to go.

Chen Baoshen said, "Then I’ll come over."

Upon hearing this, Chiang Xiao knew for sure that it wasn’t something simple. Otherwise, after hearing she couldn’t leave, Chen Baoshen wouldn’t have insisted on coming.

She also became alert and said, "Okay, I’ll be home waiting for you, Grandpa Chen."

"Alright, see you shortly."

After hanging up, Chiang Xiao was inevitably feeling quite troubled.

Ah Liu propped himself up and asked, "You’ve mentioned this Grandpa Chen before, who is he?" Given usual circumstances, Ah Liu wouldn’t ask her such things, feeling he was an outsider who shouldn’t intrude on Chiang Xiao’s private matters and relationships.

So, this question marked a noticeable change that Chiang Xiao picked up on.

She didn’t hide it, "Grandpa Chen is named Chen Baoshen, an old doctor at Renzhi Hall and a very famous practitioner of Chinese medicine. His medical skills are excellent, and he’s a good person..."

Ah Liu suddenly held his forehead and said, "Chen Baoshen, I’ve heard this name before, many times..."

Chiang Xiao was taken aback.

He used to be on the run outside, and with his cognitive issues, could it be that he overheard someone seeking Chen Baoshen for medical treatment and thus remembered his name?

"Bao Shan, does your Chen Family’s medical book have any prescriptions to make me age slower?" Ah Liu suddenly slowly uttered this sentence.

Chiang Xiao was completely stunned.

These words clearly couldn’t have been said by Ah Liu.

He’s still very young, not old at all. Besides, based on his age, it wouldn’t be possible for him to call Chen Baoshen by name, right?

"Uncle Six? Is this, is this something you’ve heard before?" she asked cautiously.

Ah Liu nodded and looked at her, then nodded again, "Yes, I remember. I’ve heard someone say that, and there should be more, which I can’t recall at the moment."

That means someone from Ah Liu’s family knew Chen Baoshen before?

Moreover, they had a good relationship?

Being able to address Chen Baoshen by name suggests this person’s age is either similar to or even older than Chen Baoshen!

Then, could this person be a relative of Ah Liu?

So! Could Chen Baoshen recognize Ah Liu from before he left home? Could he identify him?

In that moment, Chiang Xiao’s heart felt as if it was plunged into a frying pan, in great torment.

She was desperately hoping Chen Baoshen would come quickly.

If Chen Baoshen can recognize Ah Liu, wouldn’t that mean they could learn about Ah Liu’s background and identity?

Even though she might not want Ah Liu’s relatives from that side, only by knowing his identity and background can they understand why he encountered such experiences.

If someone harmed him, Chiang Xiao definitely wouldn’t let those people off easily.
