Chapter 69 - 69 69 National Doctor

69: Chapter 69: National Doctor 69: Chapter 69: National Doctor As the morning sun began to rise, accompanied by a series of urgent and disordered footsteps, a group of people hurried over from the other end of the corridor. The two leading the group were a pair of 40-something year-old middle-aged man and woman, dressed in lavish clothing, exuding a graceful demeanor, with every move reflecting the air of those in high positions. Seeing the middle-aged couple, Tang Wenrou’s eyes reddened again, with tears faintly appearing. “Wen Rou, my precious daughter, are you alright?” The middle-aged woman rushed forward a few steps, reached Tang Wenrou in a hurry, grabbed her arms, and looked her up and down to see if she was alright before finally breathing a sigh of relief. “Last night your bureau chief suddenly called your dad, saying you had been attacked, it nearly scared your mother to death, and we flew over overnight…” The middle-aged woman was Liu Hongzhuang, Tang Wenrou’s mother, once known as the “most beautiful woman of Anxi.” Although she was middle-aged, Liu Hongzhuang had maintained herself well, retaining a charming elegance. Standing together, the mother and daughter could be mistaken for sisters at first glance. Tang Wenrou’s appearance had inherited the best features of both parents, surpassing the beauty of her mother in her youth. While Liu Hongzhuang was concerned about her daughter, as a father, Tang Chongshan’s gaze fell on Fang Gang and his family who were to the side. Last night, having heard from the chief of Zhongzhou City Police Station that a young man named Fang Bai had saved his daughter but was seriously injured and hospitalized, Tang Chongshan thought that the three members of the Fang family were likely relatives of that young man. “Dad, these are Fang Bai’s parents and his sister.” Seeing her father looking towards the Fang family of three, Tang Wenrou quickly introduced them. Tang Chongshan nodded and walked over to Mr. Fang with a solemn expression, bowing deeply and saying, “Mr. Fang, my name is Tang Chongshan, and I’m grateful to your son for saving Wen Rou. On behalf of the entire Tang Family, I thank you.” Although Fang Gang was a common citizen, he knew a person of stature when he saw one, and, sensing that Tang Chongshan must be a significant businessman or high-ranking official, he hurriedly stood up and replied, “You are too kind, Mr. Tang.” Tang Chongshan glanced over at the closed door of the ICU and asked, “How is young Fang doing now?” Mr. Fang sighed, “He has been in a coma all night. According to Officer Tang, the situation isn’t very good.” This statement once again brought grief to Yang Mei, causing her to cover her face and burst into tears. Liu Hongzhuang and Tang Wenrou moved to Yang Mei’s side, whispering words of consolation. Tang Chongshan turned his head and said to a thin man behind him, “Secretary Li, tell Vice Dean Fu that no matter the cost, we must do everything possible to treat the patient. All expenses will be borne by the Tang Family.” The thin man answered and quickly turned to leave. Tang Chongshan said, “Mr. Fang, please rest assured, regardless of the outcome, the Tang Family will give your family a proper resolution.” Fang Gang let out a long sigh and said nothing, silently praying for his son’s safety. A moment later, Vice Dean Fu Hongjun of Zhongzhou First People’s Hospital, along with several doctors, hurried over. “Chief Tang, when did you arrive?” Seeing Tang Chongshan from a distance, Fu Hongjun reached out his hand for a handshake, his expression full of respect. Tang Chongshan waited for him to approach, then shook hands with him, speaking indifferently, “I’ve just arrived, too. Thank you for your efforts with this matter, Vice Dean Fu.” Vice Dean Fu straightened his back, “Please rest assured, Officer Tang. We will do our utmost to save the injured.” Tang Chongshan nodded and inquired about Fang Bai’s current condition, only to learn that it was not looking optimistic. His brows furrowed deeply. “Officer Tang, what is your relationship with the injured party?” Fu Hongjun asked cautiously in a low voice. Tang Chongshan shot him a glance and said, “He is the man who saved my daughter’s life. Without him, my daughter would be dead by now.” Fu Hongjun let out an “Oh” and inwardly heaved a sigh of relief. He had just heard that Tang Chongshan and Liu Hongzhuang had hurried over from Anxi, traveling thousands of miles overnight, and thought the injured had some close relationship with the Tang family. He was worried that if Fang Bai’s injuries proved fatal, the Tang family might take out their anger on him. Only later did he find out that the injured had merely saved Tang Chongshan’s daughter’s life. With this in mind, Fu Hongjun felt the weight on his shoulders lessen significantly. After declining Fu Hongjun’s invitation to have a cup of tea in his office, Tang Chongshan pondered for a moment, walked to a quiet spot, and took out his phone to dial a number to an elder in Yanjing. “Dad, can you ask National Doctor Hua, who is with the Prime Minister, to make a trip to Zhongzhou? The young man who saved Wen Rou is very badly injured. He’s been unconscious all night, and according to Vice Dean Fu of Zhongzhou First People’s Hospital, the outlook isn’t very optimistic…” Tang Chongshan lowered his voice as he explained the situation to his father on the other end of the line. The elder on the other end sighed gently, his aged voice coming through, “Doctor Hua left the country yesterday, unfortunately. Is the young man that severely hurt?” “Yes, his back is a bloody mess, and his internal organs are damaged and bleeding. The hospital’s stance is to do what we can and leave the rest to fate.” The elder said, “Saving Wen Rou’s life… The Tang family owes a great debt of gratitude! You wait, I’ll put my old face on the line and see if I can get the other three National Doctors to help. But don’t get your hopes up too high, each of those National Doctors is quirky, and even the Prime Minister sometimes can’t get them to move, and my face isn’t as big as the Prime Minister’s!” After hanging up the phone, the elder called back after about fifteen minutes, speaking in a more relaxed tone, “Doctor Qian will be able to arrive in Zhongzhou tonight. This Doctor Qian, just as the rumors say, unless it’s a top leader in Huaxia, nobody else could afford his medical services starting at five million, and even then it depends on his mood… I promised him ten million, and he agreed to set off immediately.” Tang Chongshan let out a relieved sigh and said with a smile, “Doctor Qian is one of the four great National Doctors, ten million is not too much to ask for his services. As long as he can cure the injured, the Tang family would be willing to pay him a hundred million.” “Tell Wen Rou for me, say that Grandpa misses her and wants her to come play in Yanjing when she has time. And if there’s good news about the young man, remember to let me know.” The elder said before hanging up the call. Tang Chongshan put away his phone, returned to Fang Gang’s side, and said, “I’ve asked for a highly skilled traditional Chinese medicine practitioner from Yanjing to come here. He is expected to arrive this evening. This practitioner is known for his Miraculous Rejuvenation and is renowned throughout Huaxia. As long as he can make it, Fang won’t be in danger.” “Doctor Qian Haoduo?” Tang Wenrou’s eyes, which had previously lacked much life, suddenly shone brighter upon hearing her father’s words. “Yes, it’s National Doctor Qian Haoduo.” Tang Wenrou thought for a while and asked, “Was it Grandpa who asked him to come?” “Yes,” Tang Chongshan replied, “It was only because your grandfather has great influence and agreed to pay a certain fee that he was willing to lend his services.” “Let’s hope that National Doctor Qian doesn’t have an undeserved reputation.” Liu Hongzhuang, sitting next to Yang Mei, heard the conversation between her husband and daughter and comforted Yang Mei, “Sister Yang, Wen Rou’s dad has invited a National Doctor to treat Fang Bai.
