After lunch, Kang Xia left South Gate Town in a hurry. The Magnificent Tang Corporation was exactly at the initial stage and there was a lot of things she had to manage personally. Even if Tang Xiu gave her a day off, she wouldn’t agree to it.
Tang Xiu left his villa’s courtyard and found his Land Rover parked on the roadside outside. He went back to the villa and took the car keys. After that, he drove to Star City Chinese Medical Hospital. His fellow villagers came to be hospitalized in Star City and even though he made a call to arrange everything for them, he still had to go there and see them. They watched him as he grew up, after all.
At Star City Chinese Medical Hospital.
Tang Xiu parked the car in the parking area and walked toward the Inpatient Department. On the way there, he called Dai Xinyue and asked her the ward number for the five injured villagers.
At the President’s office.
As Li Hongji was reviewing the documents he was suddenly struck with happiness as well as feeling quite regretful. It was regretful that the hospital only had a few rooms, whereas there were a lot of patients being admitted every day. It was joyful because Star City Chinese Medical Hospital became quite famous now, even the big and more famous hospitals in the country had contacted him.
“If only… Tang Xiu could forever stay, it would’ve been great. Sigh! If he was willing to stay I’d really willing to give the president position to him.”
As he finished reading the documents, Li Hongji shook his head and sighed.
“Ring, ring, ring…”
As his cell phone rang, his brows furrowed. He took the mobile and saw the caller ID. His eyes suddenly turned bright. After he answered the call, he spoke with a very amiable tone, “Hello Xinyue! Is there something you need? Is your Master coming to our Star City Chinese Medical Hospital?”
“Yes! My Master is going to the Inpatient Department to visit his fellow villagers there.” Dai Xinyue’s voice came through the phone.
A happy expression was written on Li Hongji’s face as he immediately said, “Did you tell him my request to report if he came to the hospital?”
“Yes, I did!” said Dai Xinyue.
The smile on Li Hongji’s face became thicker. Since Tang Xiu didn’t disagree, that meant Tang Xiu wouldn’t mind seeing him. When he thought up to there, he immediately said it to Dai Xinyue as he hung up the phone and came out of the President’s office.
Inside the Inpatient Department ward.
Su Jiande was half-leaning on the sickbed while eating a piece of an apple peeled by his daughter. At the same time, he spoke to the patient on the next bed who was just being admitted with a joyfully satisfied expression, “The Divine Doctor you just mentioned, I know who he is. Not only do I know him, I also know where his family lives!”
The patient on the next bed was a white-haired old man with a son and daughter at his bedside. Upon hearing Su Jiande’s words, the old man’s daughter replied quickly, “You know where he lives? Really? I heard that this Divine Doctor comes and goes without giving notice. He also has no fixed time for his medical service in Star City Chinese Medical Hospital. My dad has asked the hospital’s president, and he didn’t even know when Divine Doctor Tang would come over to give medical services.”
Su Jiande smiled at her, replying, “Considering that you know the president, I can tell that you’re not an ordinary person. Do you know why we can stay in this ward? It’s because Tang Xiu made a phone call to the hospital’s leader. Also, I watched him grow up. That child is sensible, thoughtful and intelligent, so it’s no wonder that he became a Divine Doctor. Hahaha…”
“Uncle Jiande, you’re overpraising me way too much. It kinda makes me embarrassed.”
A voice came from the outside as Tang Xiu’s figure appeared at the door.
A pleasantly surprised expression was immediately written on the faces of Su Jiande as well as the other Su villagers. Su Jiande was struggling to get up, but Tang Xiu stopped him.
“Uncle Jiande, you’re injured, so don’t get up. We’re relatives, after all, so we can cut ceremonies between us. How is it? Have your injuries recovered?” Tang Xiu smiled at him and asked.
Su Jiande said excitedly, “The recovery is great. The doctors said I only need ten to fifteen days before I can leave the hospital. Tang Xiu, it’s really you! But, weren’t you going to Qinghe County? How come you’re back in Star City now?”
“Everything has been handled well at home, and the culprit who injured you has apologized and admitted their mistakes. They also paid compensation. So that’s the end of the incident. As for me, I have things to take care of, so I came back to Star City.”
Immediately after, Tang Xiu greeted the other villages inside the ward. Although he was rich and powerful at present, as well as being hailed as a Divine Doctor in this hospital, he didn’t act arrogant and his attitude was as modest as always.
On the next sickbed, the white-haired old man who was half-seated on the bed head was looking at Tang Xiu with a curious expression. His children were also doing the same. They had heard that Divine Doctor Tang was very young, but it was out of their imagination that he would be this young.
Seeing Tang Xiu and the fellow Su villagers greeting each other, the old man then smiled and said, “Heroes truly come from the youth! I have heard that Divine Doctor Tang is a young man, but to be this young is beyond my imagination. Divine Doctor Tang, you come and leave as if it’s a coincidence, might I ask you to check my sickness right now?”
Tang Xiu looked at the old man with a slight vigilance in his eyes. Just when he came to the Inpatient Department, he realized something unusual. In the entire Inpatient Department, there were at least 20 men in casual suits watching the stairs and elevators. There were also several stern-looking men at the ward corridor who seemed to be martial arts experts who were also intentionally watching the ward.
