Although Wei Yang didn’t understand why Chu Guoxiong asked this question, he still honestly answered, “Yes! My son’s condition was discovered when he was born. If it wasn’t for us taking care of him well and hired professional caregivers and nurses, I’m afraid he wouldn’t have been alive till now.”
Chu Guoxiong turned his head to look at Tang Xiu, as he forced a wry smile and said, “Divine Doctor Tang, I, Chu Guoxiong, just realized something. You’re not a Divine Doctor at all, but simply a celestial being. I just diagnosed this boy, and found that his heartbeat is strong. Though his vitality is rather weak, it doesn’t seem like a situation that was caused by a congenital heart disease at all.”
“You made a mistake in your diagnosis. The reason for him seemingly not have a congenital heart disease now is because of a special method I used to keep his heart at a high-speed recovery stage. If you examine him a few hours later, you’ll probably be able to diagnose his true condition,” said Tang Xiu.
Stunned and looked vacant, Chu Guoxiong said, “How could such a situation happen?”
“Treating a congenital heart disease is very easy for me. But to completely cure it would require a process that allows the heart to heal and grow, which takes approximately two months. That’s why I instructed him to take the boy to the hospital and have him examined two months later,” said Tang Xiu.
Chu Guoxiong was taken aback, as he gave Tang Xiu a thumbs up, yet he was unable to speak any words of praise for he didn’t know what to say. He felt that any praising words would feel pale and weak.
Upon hearing Tang Xiu’s elaborate remarks, half of the worry inside Wei Yang’s heart eased down. Seeking an affirmation, he asked, “Divine Doctor Tang, do we still have to continue staying here?”
With a teasing tone, Tang Xiu answered, “Are you so nervous and itchy that you want to waste and burn your money here? If anything, I’ve already treated your son, why would you still want to stay? You might as well go home and take care of your son well. This son of yours will be in good health two months later. So much so that… if your son’s luck is quite good, his physical quality and constitution will be far beyond that of an ordinary person’s.”
Exceedingly surpassing an ordinary person?
It was a luxury and extravagant hope Wei Yang had never thought of. He only wanted his son to be healthy, that would already make him satisfied.
After leaving the hospital, Tang Xiu gave Dai Xinyue a ride back home before returning to his home in South Gate Town. And, much to his surprise, his parents had not gone to sleep yet, and were chatting with a guest.
“Elderly Li, why are you here?” Asked Tang Xiu curiously. Nevertheless, there was also a strange expression on his face.
Right after he entered the courtyard, he discovered dozens of unfamiliar and unknown men around the villa and four stalwart men in black suits standing in the courtyard. He never expected that Li Juren from Hong Kong would personally come to Star City, more so appearing so late at his place.
Li Juren got up and smilingly said, “Tang Xiu, it was my intention to visit you, to be honest. Though I didn’t expect to meet your honored parents here. Hence, we had some small talk while waiting for you to come back.”
Tang Xiu touched his nose and smilingly replied, “Why didn’t you call me? You have my number, right?”
“It ain’t my fault. Who doesn’t know that you’re busy?” Said Li Juren with a smile. “Anyways, I had nothing else to do in recent days, so I just came here to discuss something with you.”
Tang Xiu nodded.
Tang Yunde and Su Lingyun exchanged looks, as Tang Yunde immediately said with a smile, “Senior Li, please chat with Xiu’er. We are a bit tired and won’t disturb you.”
Li Juren nodded and smiled in response.
After that, Tang Yunde looked at Tang Xiu and said, “Xiu’er, do entertain Senior Li well.”
“All right, father!” Replied Tang Xiu.
As Tang Yunde and Su Lingyun returned to their room to rest, Tang Xiu and Li Juren walked to the study room on the second floor. After making fragrant tea, the two men then seated on the sofa.
“Elderly Li, I’m sure you have something important for coming to Star City to find me, yes?” Tang Xiu took a half pack of cigarette and offered one to Li Juren. He himself also took one and lit it up, slowly taking a deep puff.
Li Juren, however, didn’t lit up his cigarette. He fiddled with it for a short while before replying, “Tang Xiu, my purpose in coming this time is because I want to ask medicine from you!”
Seeking medicine?
Tang Xiu stared vacantly and immediately asked with a strange expression, “What medicine do you need, exactly?”
Li Juren slowly said, “I was a coolie when I was young and had once fallen ill due to heavy workload. It caused a lingering effect and a chronic disease. Later on, my body was finally unable to hold much longer and I finally fell ill until I met Boss Gu. Although my body and health has recovered a lot after having gone through some training, yet my condition has never been as good as healthy people. Back then, Boss Gu gave me a medicine called Marrow Purifying Pill. Since I took that medicine, the chronic old ailment that had been accumulated over the years was finally cured completely; my physique even turned much better than that of an average person’s. However, I’m an old man now, so I was thinking. If I can get a Marrow Purifying Pill again…”
After hearing Li Juren’s story up to there, Tang Xiu immediately understood his intention, as he nodded and said, “I’m indeed able to concoct Marrow Purifying Pills. The medicine, however, requires a lot of medicinal herbs, and many of them are precious herbs.”
Upon hearing this, Li Juren immediately gave his assurance, “Tang Xiu, as long as the medicinal herbs can be purchased, I’ll obtain them no matter how precious they are.”
