Chapter 224: Chapter 224: Making the Decoction

Chen Yu did not want to waste too much time here, since he already got what he came for, there was no need for him to stay.

He pushed Wayne forward and then went straight to the nearby supply station.

After packing some essential items, he descended the mountain from the south.

Emperor City, Orchid Garden Private Hospital.

This hospital was established by several major families in Emperor City, equipped with the world’s most advanced medical facilities and healthcare resources.

According to the equipment in this hospital, it was entirely possible to extend the life of a centenarian by another ten years.

In a luxuriously excessive room, Li Kaiquan and a few other elders leisurely played mahjong.

However, these elders had various tubes attached to them, one even wearing a respirator.

Even in such a state, to be able to play mahjong so spiritedly showed just how remarkable the hospital was.

“Old Li, when is that miracle doctor you talked about coming? We’re practically gambling with our lives playing mahjong with you, you’ve got to help us extend our lives.”

“Yeah, Old Li, the prescription you brought back last time improved our health a lot. If that miracle doctor comes, maybe he could even cure our diseases.”

…

The elders spoke with humor and ease, as if what they were facing was not death but merely a trivial matter.

Li Kaiquan did not know what to say, Chen Yu’s retrieval of the Ginkgo biloba was like playing with his life.

If it failed, everyone in this room would be waiting to die.

As they were chatting, a noisy commotion suddenly rose from outside the door.

“Sir, I’ve already told you many times, this is a private place. If you insist on barging in, I will have to call someone from the relevant department.”

Chen Yu frowned, “I’ve told you many times as well, I am here to treat someone. If you delay the patient’s condition, can you afford the responsibility?”

The nurse, full of scorn, “Sorry, but our hospital is one of the top in the world, there’s no way we would delay a patient’s condition. As for you, barging in so casually, I have serious doubts about your intentions.”

Chen Yu, frustrated, had rushed here as if on a deadly mission, and now, to be doubted by a nurse was just too much.

While they argued, Li Kaiquan hurried out from the hospital room.

He saw Chen Yu in the hallway, tugging at a nurse.

“Little Chen! You’ve finally arrived.” Li Kaiquan excitedly approached and grabbed Chen Yu’s arm, “Hurry, the gentlemen are all waiting for you here.”

The nurse was taken aback when she saw Li Kaiquan coming out to greet him.

Li Kaiquan was one of the hospital’s shareholders, effectively her boss. Seeing the situation, she dared not neglect any duty and quickly stepped aside.

Chen Yu did not bother with the pettiness and followed Li Kaiquan in a rush into the hospital room.

But when Chen Yu saw the scene before him, he couldn’t help but widen his eyes. The condition of these elders was like running on fumes, one of them not likely to live past the next week.

Yet even in such a condition, they were still gathered around, leisurely playing mahjong.

Deserving of being called moguls, such an attitude was unparalleled.

Chen Yu did not say much, quickly opened his backpack, and took out the prepared medicine.

In the past few days on his way back, he had already processed the silver ginkgo, mixing it with other herbs to brew a medicinal soup using an electric pot.

When the elderly folks saw Chen Yu come in, they started rummaging through their bags, immediately looking somewhat dejected.
