Tang Guosheng quickly stood up from the chair with a pale complexion. He ran to the door and asked, “What happened?”
Chu Yi pointed inside and said tremblingly, “The treatment seems to have been finished, but Tang Xiu, he…”
Looking at the direction Chu Yi’s finger pointed at, Tang Guosheng saw that both Tang Yunde and Tang Xiu fainted on the bed. His heart pounded as he rushed into the room. After hearing it, Su Lingyun’s heart and throat were also stumped as she also rushed into the room, as did several other Tang Family members.
“He fell into a coma?”
Seeing Tang Xiu’s appearance, even though Tang Guosheng had a firm will, sparkling tears still fell down his eyes. The miserable condition Tang Xiu was in, it extremely distressed him.
“Xiu’er, Xiu’er, what has happened to you?”
Su Lingyun dashed to the bed, involuntarily bursting into tears.
The Tang Family members were also restless upon seeing that Tang Xiu had fallen into a coma. Never would they have expected that because Tang Xiu treated Tang Yunde, the both of them would fall into the same predicament. However, recalling how the treatment had lasted for more than thirty hours, admiration towards Tang Xiu surged in their hearts.
Suddenly, Tang Guosheng turned around as he shouted sternly, “Invite Master Chen, quickly!”
Instantly, two members of the Tang Family ran outside.
Having a moment of silence, Tang Guosheng then stared at Chu Yi and asked, “Do you have Chen Zhizhong’s number?”
“Yes!” said Chu Yi quickly.
“Call him. I’ll talk to him personally,” said Tang Guosheng.
Star City.
Chen Zhizhong was accompanying several clients to a meal. Recently, the medicinal herbs business had been on fire, which made him quite happy every day. What made him happier was that his cultivation had been progressing rapidly.
“Ring, ring, ring…”
As his mobile rang, he grabbed it. Seeing that the caller was Chu Yi, he immediately let out a smile to his business clients and spoke, “All of you please have a drink first, I need to pick up this call.”
Having said that, he stood up and picked up the call, laughing, “Chu Yi, do you need something from me?”
“Tang Guosheng from Beijing’s Tang Family is speaking here.”
Tang Guosheng of the Tang Family?
Chen Zhizhong was stupefied and his complexion changed greatly. He strode out of the box and spoke in a respectful tone, “Old Sir Tang, I’m Chen Zhizhong. Do you have any instructions for me?”
“I heard that you’re Tang Xiu’s apprentice, yes?” asked Tang Guosheng in a low, deep tone.
“That’s right!” replied Chen Zhizhong.
“If you can, I hope you can rush to the capital immediately. My grandson fell into a coma after treating and curing a patient. His physical condition appears to be in a bad state. You run a medicinal herbs business, so I think I may need your help later,” said Tang Guosheng.
“Your grandson?”
Chen Zhizhong replied in a confused tone. How would his Master be related to Tang Guosheng’s grandson? Could it be that his Master’s elder was looking for him?
Tang Guosheng spoke in a deep tone, “Tang Xiu is my grandson. My biological grandson.”
“What?” Chen Zhizhong’s pupils contracted as he exclaimed without him realizing it. A disbelieving expression was cast on his face as his heart pounded and his heartbeat accelerated.
Tang Xiu is Tang Guosheng’s biological grandson? Heaven!
That said, is Tang Xiu then a descendant of the Tang Family from Beijing?
“Is there a problem?” asked Tang Guosheng in a deep voice.
Awoken from his shock, Chen Zhizhong quickly replied, “I’ll rush to the capital immediately. The matter with my Master is more important than mine!”
Hanging up the phone, Chen Zhizhong ran to the box. Looking at his several business partners, he said, “Gentlemen, I really apologize. Some private matters arose and I need to leave for Beijing in a hurry. It’s of the utmost importance and grave matter as it involves someone’s life. All of you please have a drink here, and wait until I have dealt with this matter. I’ll treat you again later to make up for this time.”
They nodded after hearing him.
On the way to the airport, Chen Zhizhong dialed Long Zhengyu and Ouyang Lulu’s numbers. He knew that the both of them were Tang Xiu’s best friends. As for Kang Xia, Chen Zhizhong didn’t tell her, for he thought that she should have known the news about Tang Xiu’s situation.
Star City, the Long Family’s residence.
Long Zhengyu was accompanying his family for lunch. After receiving a phone call from Chen Zhizhong, even though he was shocked, worry about Tang Xiu filled his heart. He spoke to his parents and hurriedly rushed to the airport.
Jingmen Island.
Ouyang Lulu was in her sojourn in the Everlasting Feast Hall. Eating cakes and pastries in the pavilion, she happily watched Gu Xiaoxue play the zither in front of her.
