Li Hongji hesitated for a moment before carefully asking, “Tang Xiu, you don’t need to wait for a few days before going abroad! Can you spare two days before you leave? Besides, those patients are kinda pitiful, and they come from faraway places! If they can’t see you, they will be very disappointed! You can rest assured that, after you’ve given medical service for two days, I’ll immediately announce your leave because of an important matter, saying you won’t come back to our Star City Chinese Medical hospital within a short time.”

Tang Xiu was silent for a moment before nodding, “So be it then! I have something to do tomorrow, but after I’m done with it I’ll come here give treatment for two days.”

Pleasantly surprised, Li Hongji said, “Great! I’ll inform everyone immediately!”

“Knock, knock…”

The ward’s door was knocked.

As he looked at the crowd of people outside who were about to enter the room, Tang Xiu stared blankly for a moment as a surprised expression filled his eyes. It was because he knew someone from among them, the Seaside Strait Manor’s owner in Jingmen Island, Tang Dong.

The expression on the old man’s face on the sickbed turned gloomy as he asked with a heavy tone, “Why are you here?”

Tang Dong himself was obviously surprised upon seeing Tang Xiu here. He faced Tang Xiu and nodded at him. Forcing out a smile, he then replied to the old man, “Uncle, my father heard that you’re visiting Star City for treatment, so he wanted me to come and see you. Moreover, I also have acquaintances in Star City. Hence, my visit this time is also to deliver a number of goods to him ready to trade.”

“Hmph.” The old man snorted coldly, “It’s damn rare for your father to remember me, eh?! So be it. Since you have come and have also seen me, just go and take care of your business!”

Tang Dong smiled wryly, “Uncle, even if I want to take care of my business, I’ll still have to find my acquaintance first! If I leave now, I won’t be able to conclude the business transaction.”

The old man shouted angrily, “Whether you’re able or unable to do your business, how the hell would it be related to this place? You’re an adult, yet how could you be so frivolous? Would it be even possible for you to do your business transaction here? Hmph…”

Tang Dong forced out a wry smile, “Uncle, the person I’m gonna have a transaction with, is exactly here.”

The old man was surprised for a moment before he flew into a rage.

At this moment, a trace of smile revealed on Tang Xiu’s face as he said, “Tang Dong, how many cargoes did you bring this time?”

Tang Dong extended his fingers as he smiled, “Five.”

Tang Xiu nodded, “Where are they?”

“I’ve sent some people to escort them to the previous place we had a transaction. I originally wanted to see my uncle before calling you! But I never thought I would bump into you here. How is it? You also have relatives or friends being hospitalized here?”

Tang Xi pointed to the two villagers on the sickbeds and replied, “Yes, they are injured, so I came to see them. It’s the same for me. I didn’t expect such a coincidence, this elderly turning out to be your uncle. President Li, even if I don’t speak, perhaps your hospital is even afraid to charge him for the hospitalization and medical treatment fees, right?”

Li Hongji let out an embarrassed smile, “Of course, of course!”

The old man partly sat on the sickbed head as he looked at Tang Dong and Tang Xiu with astonishment. He didn’t expect that his nephew would know Tang Xiu and even had business deals with him. Out of curiosity, he asked, “Tang Dong, your cooperation with Divine Doctor Tang, what kind of business is it?”

Divine Doctor Tang?

Tang Dong looked at Tang Xiu with a strange expression and replied truthfully, “Uncle, you too know about our family’s manor! Tang Xiu bought those fierce beasts’ bones as well as the other materials from its body for a high price. I already sold him four dead fierce beasts and its bones, and this time I brought five.”

The old man was astonished, “Doctor Tang, what are you making in the end? Aside from being a doctor in this hospital, you seem to also be a student. Have you started your own business?”

Tang Xiu said lightly, “I do have a little business that makes some money and support my family. You have a distinguished status, so you don’t know the hardships of little people like us!”

The old man was speechless.

He was surnamed Tang and was called Tang Guosheng, whereas his children at the bedside were Tang Yunpeng and Tang Min.

At this moment, Tang Yunpeng frowned, “Divine Doctor Tang, although my father has a high status, he still understands the hardships of the people! If you know nothing about him, I ask that you don’t talk irresponsibly like this!”

Tang Xiu shot a cold glance at him and didn’t reply.

Tang Guosheng scolded in a low voice, “Yunpeng, don’t talk rubbish!”

Despite scolding, he was secretly surprised inside. He could tell that Tang Xiu had correctly guessed his identity, yet he didn’t have the slightest fear of him. It was as if his status and identity was nothing. He knew that if ordinary people knew his identity, he was certain that they would be greatly shocked and would immediately start acting respectfully in front of him. For example, the President of Star City Chinese Medical Hospital, Li Hongji.

Tang Yunpeng showed a slightly forced smile as he got scolded. He intended to give Tang Xiu a lesson, but the latter was, after all, a divine doctor, and his father’s illness also needed his treatment. So he could only repress the idea inside his heart.

Looking at Tang Xiu, Tang Guosheng laughed, “Divine Doctor Tang, I made you laugh at me. These children of mine are good for nothing and love to talk rubbish, so please ignore them. It’s just that I’ve never thought that you’d have such a great ability despite being so young.”

Tang Xiu said indifferently, “No problem.”

Tang Dong, on the other hand, could see the indifference on Tang Xiu’s expression. He quickly said, “Tang Xiu, I really never knew that you’d unexpectedly be a Divine Doctor. Had I known it earlier, I would’ve already asked you to examine my uncle.”

Tang Xiu said, “Treating it now isn’t too late! Even though he has some breathing problems, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to live for more eight to ten years! After I’ve cured his asthma, he could still live for more than ten years.”

“Great!” Tang Dong was pleasantly surprised.

Tang Dong’s complexion suddenly flickered. He suddenly recalled something and quickly said, “Tang Xiu, since you’re hailed as a Divine Doctor that even my uncle flew from thousands of miles to Star City for your treatment, then, could… could it be possible for you to treat my Third Brother? If you can treat him, I’ll give all the fierce beasts’ bodies and bones to you for free, I’ll not ask a dime for them!”

Tang Guosheng on the sickbed, Tang Yunpeng and Tang Min at the bedside, all of them had their spirits startled as their eyes instantly stared at Tang Xiu intensely.
