Chapter 794 - Consecutive Loud Howling (2/2)
The Ma Family’s manor itself covered an area of 100 acres in which they had developed distinct floors facing the northern side of the foot of the mountain. Hence, the manor was developed northward. The more northward the members lived, the more rights they had and the more they belonged to the core clan.
Cough, cough…
In the center of the northernmost end of the Ma Family manor, inside an antique attic, a constant coughing voice was heard. Dozens of core members of the Ma Family were gathering outside the attic, each with a deep worry hung on their faces, while their eyes kept glancing at the closed door from time to time.
Creak…
The door was opened from the inside as a white-haired old man in a gray long coat came out with several doctors. Among these doctors was a rather famous cardiologist in Tianjing who had made great achievements in Western medical science. The other two were also known to have high expertise among Chinese medical practitioners.
At the moment, however, be it the white-haired old man or the other five doctors, they all wore a solemn expression, resulting in a growingly bad premonition inside the hearts of the people who had been waiting outside and saw their solemn expressions,
“Second Uncle, doctors, how is the situation with my father?” hurriedly asked Ma Jianfeng, the Head of Ma Family.
“He’s in a very serious condition.” the white-haired old man shook his head and said, “Even if we send him to a big city like Shanghai or Beijing, I’m afraid that no one is able to save him from such a desperate predicament.”
Ma Jianfeng’s heart trembled and he was about to say something more, but when he saw the expression of these five doctors, he swallowed back his words.
“I’m sorry. We need to take our leave first.”
One of the middle-aged men in a white coat sighed and walked outside. The other few didn’t hesitate to follow him and walked away quickly. However, one of them, a middle-aged man in his 40s who wore very ordinary clothes, suddenly stopped after seven steps. He seemed to mull over something as he turned back to the front of Ma Jianfeng and the others, took a deep breath and then said, “Jianfeng, we are old friends, so I offer you my advice. I don’t dare give a 100% guarantee that it’ll be useful to you. But as long as some certain people are willing to help, there’s still a good chance.”
“Certain people?” asked Ma Jianfeng hurriedly. “And they are…”
“I’m a Chinese medical practitioner and I know a lot of things in this field,” explained the middle-aged man. “Your father’s condition is very serious and we are at loss of what to do. But there are some people among our circle; specifically speaking, they are those who are hailed as miracle-working, divine doctors. I know three of these people. Apart from Divine Doctor Leng whose traces haven’t been found for more than a decade, the other one is Divine Doctor Gui Jianchou whose whereabouts is uncertain since he drifts from one place to another. But another one is a young divine doctor called Tang Xiu. He has been rising in fame in recent years. If he is willing to help, maybe your father can live for a few more years.”
“How can I find them?” asked Ma Jianfeng quickly.
“I’m uncertain of Divine Doctor Gui Jianchou’s whereabouts,” said the middle-aged man. “But I know the young Divine Doctor Tang Xiu. He’s a doctor at the Star City Chinese Medical Hospital, but he rarely works on duty there now. Rumors have it he’s studying at Shanghai University, although I can’t verify it. Your Ma Family has a vast network, you can check it out yourself.”
“I’ll send people to check it out at once,” said Ma Jianfeng without hesitation. “I’m willing to pay however big the price if it’s for my father.”
The white-haired old man heavily nodded and stressed, “That’s right. Even if we must spend billions of our Ma Family’s assets, I’ll do it to heal my eldest brother.”
At this time, an off-road car vroomed to the inside, followed by a braking sound as its door opened. Just as Ma Xiaorong jumped out of the driver seat with a bloody nose and a swollen face, he shouted, “Hey, I heard there are doctors in our house, where are they? Hurry up here and treat me!”
Tens of the core members of the Ma Family, as well as the middle-aged Chinese medical practitioner who was staying temporarily, were stunned. Ma Xiaorong’s appearance looked very miserable at this moment, given the footprints on his clothes and the injuries on his face.
Being in an awful mood at this moment, Ma Jianfeng was furious upon seeing his son’s appearance and yelled, “What hell happened to you? And where did you fool around this time?”
Despite being one who feared nothing, his father was someone Ma Xiaorong was very afraid of. Hearing his scolding made him immediately shrink and turn back to the car.
“STOP!” yelled Ma Jianfeng.
With a bit of fear on his face, Ma Xiaorong halted his pace and said with a bit of a fearful look, “D-Dad, I-I’ve b-been injured, so don’t hit me, okay? Take a look at my nose and my mouth. I… that darn Long Zhenglin and his friend Tang Xiu from Star City did this to me. Third Brother, are you here? Why didn’t you pick my call? Let’s go and help me revenge them.”
Ma Jianfeng’s face turned completely dark, while Ma Weikang, who was in the crowd of the Ma Family, shrunk his neck as he angrily glared at Ma Xiaorong. Even if this bloke wanted to take his revenge, why did he have to speak about it so loudly in front of so many of their family members?
