For some reason, he felt something bigger than he realized was afoot.
However, he soon found out what was going when Grandfather Xi pulled him to the side and explained everything to him. "Lu Qi, we are out of ideas now, so we have try everything. If the Lin family gets the presidency, it's over for all of us. Therefore, we have to trouble you this time, you have to try your best to treat his illness, and if you can't, try your best to delay the inevitable as long as you can."
"So, that's why." Lu Qi nodded. "I've been so busy recently that such a big piece of news just flew over my head. Elder Xi, do not worry, I know what to do. I will try to not disappoint!"
"Thank you, I represent the whole Xi family in thanking you," Grandfather Xi said with much appreciation.
Lu Qi smiled. "There's no need to be so ceremonious. Our two families have always been family friends; I'm glad that I'm able to be of help."
