Chapter 268 (2/2)
“Ring, ring, ring…”
Her mobile rang and interrupted Gu Xiaoxue’s zither play.
Ouyang Lulu knitted her brows in displeasure. Giving Gu Xiaoxue an apologizing expression, she then took her mobile. Seeing that it was Chen Zhizhong, most of the displeasure on her expression disappeared, laughing after picking up the call, “Uncle Chen, are you looking for me?”
A moment after, Ouyang Lulu hang up the phone with a blank expression, dazed.
Smiling, Gu Xiaoxue said softly, “What happened? You suddenly picked up the phone, how come you’re looking just like you just lost your soul?”
Ouyang Lulu shuddered. She suddenly jumped up from the stone bench and quickly called out, “It’s Tang Xiu! He has been injured and seem like that he has fallen into a coma. I gotta go to Beijing, now!”
Shocked, Gu Xiaoxue stared blankly before also standing up immediately. Her figure flashed toward Ouyang Lulu and asked anxiously, “What did you say? How is Grand Master injured and in a coma? Where is he right now?”
Suddenly, Ouyang Lulu remembered that Tang Xiu was also Gu Xiaoxue’s Grand Master. Without any hesitation, she quickly replied, “He’s in Beijing. Chen Zhizhong just called me, saying that Tang Xiu fell into a coma after having saved someone. That’s right. He’s also Tang Guosheng’s biological grandson of Beijing’s Tang Family.”
Tang Guosheng?
Gu Xiaoxue felt that the name was somewhat familiar, but she couldn’t care less about it. What concerned her the most was the safety of her Grand Master. Immediately, she spoke, “Lulu, let’s go to Beijing together.”
In Beijing.
The entire Tang Family was shocked due to Tang Xiu falling into a coma.
All Tangs contacted everyone in their network one after another as well as invited a lot of medical experts. But those medical experts could only shake their heads after examining Tang Xiu. Even the renowned sage Chinese medical doctor, Grandmaster Chen Tianhe, could only figure out the cause of Tang Xiu’s coma due to him using and greatly consuming his mental force.
“Master Chen, you have to save my grandson. No matter how great the price, the Tang Family will pay it.” Suppressing his sorrow, Tang Guosheng stared at the gray-robed old man in front of him.
Chen Tianhe forced a smile and replied, “Old Tang, I know what you’re thinking. But I can’t do anything about his condition. His qi is been too weak and his vitality is also leaking out. If it continues like this… he will only live for a day at the most.”
“Is there anything else to alleviate it?” asked Tang Guosheng urgently.
For a moment, Chen Tianhe fell into silence, before he slowly said, “I do have a method of using acupuncture needles with moxibustion to stimulate his vital potential and arousing his qi. But this method is but only a temporary solution and can’t eliminate the root problem. At best, it will only allow him to live for two days more. If we can’t find a solution in three days, I’m afraid…”
Tang Guosheng was about to speak as rapid footsteps outside the room came approaching. Then, Tang Yunpeng rushed into the room and shouted, “Father, Yunde has awoken.”
“What?”
Tang Guosheng shuddered. But a trace of joy couldn’t surpass the bitterness and pain inside his heart. His son had woken up at the price of exchanging the life of his own grandson. This was a price he could never afford. He turned around, looking at Su Lingyun that had fainted. He truly felt that this mother and son had truly lost for far too much.
“Master Chen, if we can keep him for two days then let’s do it. I will find a way to cure my grandson no matter what it takes.”
Chen Tianhe gently nodded. He took the silver needles and quickly started injecting them into Tang Xiu.
Sure enough, after executing the method, Tang Xiu’s leaking out vitality slowed down.
Inside another room.
More than a dozen Tang Family members looked at the awakening Tang Yunde with excited expressions. Qin Changyue had fallen to tears, pulling Tang Yunde into her embrace and didn’t want to release him.
“Mother, I’m really fine. Please don’t cry anymore. You can see that I’m awake now!” Tang Yunde squeezed out a smile. He slightly his body and could feel that his body was a lot better now.
Tang Min’s eyes turned very red as she spoke in a low voice, “Second Big Brother. You’ve woken up. It’s great, really great.”
At this time, Tang Yunde already knew that he had been in a coma for twenty years. Even though he felt that it was rather a miracle that he was awake, the excitement from his family members filled him with happiness. Suddenly, he recalled the young man who had saved him and quickly asked, “Ah, right. When I woke up, I saw the young man who saved me vomiting a mouthful of blood and fainting. How is he right now?”
In an instant, the Tang Family members looked at each other in dismay, but nobody knew how to respond.
Qin Changyue wept yet again for a while. She wiped her tears and sobbed, “Son! D-Do you know that the person who has saved you is your own son? B-but he… he’s in a very very bad condition now.”
“What? He’s… my… my son?”
Tang Yunde recalled. He remembered that his wife had been pregnant before he fell into a coma. But never would he have dreamt that the first person, the young man he first saw after he woke up from his coma turned out to be his son.
“Mother, h-he… what happened to him?”
Tang Yunde asked with a somewhat shivering voice.
Tang Min replied instead of his mother, “Our family has invited a lot of well-known doctors, yet they are also helpless about his condition. They said that… due to excessive consumption of his mental force, his life is in grave danger.”
“Take me to see him.”
Tang Yunde struggled to stand up.
Two minutes later.
Being propped by his relatives, Tang Yunde came to the room where Tang Xiu fell into a coma. When he heard from his father, Tang Guosheng, and the sage Chinese medical doctor, Chen Tianhe, about the situation his son was in, he wept into tears. He also hugged the fainted Su Lingyun along with tears that couldn’t stop flowing from his eyes.
In Beijing, all the big respected families, all the rich and powerful great figures, even those who were at the topmost pyramid of power and authorities, had all received the news that the Tang Family had just found the grandson they had been missing for 20 years. Just as they were amazed that the Tang Family secretly added another member to their ranks, a heavy news spread out yet again: The descendant of the Tang Family who was a divine doctor working at the Star City Chinese Medical Hospital, had rescued his own father who had fallen into a coma for 20 years, and now he himself fell into a coma while his own life was also in question.
Right at this time, those in the topmost of power in the country, one after another, had all contacted Tang Guosheng to inquire about Tang Xiu’s condition, conveying their condolences and comfort. At the same time, a lot of top-famous doctors across the country had also received invitations from the Tang Family to rush over to Beijing.
