Chapter 1183
Therefore, when Tong Li saw Ken Swanson in person, her first reaction was that she might have recognized the wrong person.
Therefore, there was a hint of uncertainty in Tong Li’s tone.
When Tong Jiaxuan heard Tong Li’s words, he looked at Ken Swanson-he had only been paying attention to Melody Fox who had suddenly spoken.
As a leading figure in Jinxiu Town, he often read financial newspapers.
Therefore, at a glance, Tong Jiaxuan immediately confirmed that it was indeed Ken Swanson.
“You are… Ken Swanson?” Although he was asking, his tone was certain.
“That’s right.” Ken Swanson nodded expressionlessly.
Tong Li and Tong Jiaxuan’s eyes widened. The people present were sizing up Ken Swanson crazily.
After Tong Jiaxuan quickly digested this information in his heart, he asked suspiciously, “You came to my house… What’s the matter?”
Ken Swanson looked at Maria Fox and said, “The Maria Fox you’re talking about is my wife’s biological grandmother.”
Tong Li was instantly stunned, and the light in her eyes dimmed.
Ken Swanson: Are You Already Married?
Then she really had no chance at all. Even if she finally saw him in person, it would be useless.
Tong Jiaxuan was also stunned.
He was a little annoyed that he had been too rude to Maria Fox just now.
However, Tong Jiaxuan quickly calmed down and swallowed his saliva. “Mr. Swanson, I know your identity is not ordinary. But this is my family matter. Even you don’t have the right to ask about my family matters, right?”
Ken Swanson was about to speak when Maria Fox said, “You two can go back. This has nothing to do with you.”
“What about you?”
“I won’t leave. I want to send Old Tong off for the last time and see if he’ll be buried smoothly.”
Cremation was not popular in Silken Town yet, so it was a burial.
However, because it was a hot summer day, the corpse would not stay at home for the night. It would be buried today.
Tong Jiaxuan frowned.
“Maria Fox, it’s meaningless for you to say that. Do you have to go to this extent with me?”
He had already thought it through. Even if Ken Swanson appeared, he had to chase Tong Qizhen out of the house today.
He had wanted to do this for a long time, but his father valued Tong Qizhen very much and even handed many of the family’s businesses to Tong Qizhen to manage.
To put it nicely, he was in politics and it was inconvenient for him to take over the family business.
However, he had a child. His son was about to graduate from university, and his daughter was an adult this year. Therefore, he had to chase this guy out of the house for his son!
No matter how powerful and rich Ken Swanson was, he could not interfere in his family matters!
And funerals were very important to the people of Silken Town.
Only family and friends could attend, and only family members and relatives could wear mourning clothes.
He didn’t want Tong Qizhen to wear mourning clothes!
“I don’t want to mess with you,” Maria Fox said coldly. “I just want to see Old Tong buried peacefully. I don’t want him to die in peace!”
“You-“
Tong Jiaxuan was about to flare up when Melody Fox spoke again. “There’s no need to say anything else. Grandma, you don’t have to attend Old Mr. Tong’s funeral either.”
Tong Jiaxuan smiled.
“Maria Fox, is this your granddaughter? Your granddaughter is much more sensible than you.”
Maria Fox frowned and looked at Melody Fox.
She did not understand what Melody Fox meant.
Melody Fox said, “Mr. Tong, you’ve misunderstood. What I mean is that your father isn’t dead, so there’s no need to hold a funeral, let alone attend it.”
Tong Jiaxuan was stunned for a moment before an amused expression appeared on his face.
“Granddaughter the Fox family, what nonsense are you talking about?”
Ken Swanson also looked at Melody Fox in shock.
“Melody?”
Melody Fox gave Ken Swanson a “believe me” look and walked from the crowd to the coffin.
“I’m not talking nonsense. Old Mr. Tong isn’t dead yet.”
The crowd was in an uproar.
“He’s not dead? How could he not be dead? Didn’t the doctor already announce his death?”
“What the hell is going on?”
“Is she telling the truth or not?”
“He’s already in the coffin. How can he not be dead…”
Everyone was talking at once, and the hall suddenly became chaotic.
“Little girl!” Tong Qizhen walked forward excitedly and confirmed, “Are you sure? Is my father really not dead?”
Tong Jiaxuan’s expression was unsightly.
“Tong Qizhen, you…”
Before he could finish speaking, Melody Fox walked to the coffin and reached out to touch Old Mr. Tong.
Tong Jiaxuan’s back stiffened, and he subconsciously wanted to step forward to stop her.
“What are you doing! The dead are important. How can you…”
“I told you, he’s not dead. I can get him back.”
“Nonsense! Stop it!”
Ken Swanson walked to Melody Fox in a few steps and blocked Tong Jiaxuan, who was about to pull Melody Fox.
Tong Jiaxuan narrowed his eyes.
“Mr. Swanson, what do you mean?”
Ken Swanson said expressionlessly, “Why? Mr. Tong, don’t you want your father to live?”
As soon as he said this, everyone present looked at Tong Jiaxuan.
Tong Jiaxuan noticed everyone’s expressions and replied with a stiff expression, “Of course I hope…”
“That’s right. Her medical skills are superb. Let her give it a try. Perhaps your father will really come back to life.”
“That’s impossible… How can there be such a thing as reviving the dead in this world? Isn’t this a joke?”
Tong Qizhen said, “Regardless of whether it’s true or not, what’s wrong with letting her try? What if Dad really isn’t dead? If we rashly bury him, wouldn’t it be equivalent to killing Dad?”
“Shut up! Don’t call me Dad like that again!”
While the two of them were arguing, Maria Fox walked up to Melody Fox and asked with a complicated expression, “How confident are you?”
“Eight to nine.”
Upon hearing this answer, Maria Fox nodded and said, “Alright! Then do it!”
“Yup!”
Melody Fox nodded and unbuttoned Old Mr. Tong’s shirt in front of everyone.
Old Mr. Tong’s hands and feet were already cold.
She reached out to touch Old Mr. Tong’s chest. After feeling the slight warmth there, she was even more certain of her guess.
Earlier, he was 80-90% confident. Now, he was 100% confident.
She turned to the two people who were arguing non-stop. “I need some things. If you really want Old Mr. Tong to come back alive, prepare them immediately.”
Tong Jiaxuan did not say anything.
Tong Qizhen immediately said, “What do you need? I’ll prepare it immediately!”
Melody Fox nodded and said, “I need 11 pounds yuan to donate red flowers. This can be bought at the pharmacy. Then, I’ll boil a lot of hot water and pour it into a large wooden barrel. The wooden barrel has to be the size that can fit a person inside.”
“Is that all?”
“Yes, that’s all. I have everything else.”
“Alright! I’ll prepare it immediately!”
Tong Qizhen ran out.
Ken Swanson gave Aaron Berg a look, and Aaron Berg immediately followed to help.
As for the others, they also began to help boil hot water.
Of course, more people were watching the show. They wanted to see how the dead could be resurrected and if they could really be resurrected.
