older than Yue Hongbin's son. This is why Yue Hongbin found it so astonishing since even though his son was studying medicine at a university in Jingde City, the curriculum mainly comprised Western M...Chapter 566: Critical Illness

Tang Qing and Tang Ran drove to the Capital City Hospital.

When they arrived at the hospital, quite a number of people had already gathered on the top floor of the Capital City Hospital. These were all relatives of the Tang family. When they saw Tang Qing arrive, they greeted him one after another.

Tang Qing could be considered the core of the third generation of the Tang family. The Tang family also nurtured him as a pillar figure, so even some of Tang Qing’s elders treated him with great respect.

After exchanging greetings, Tang Qing arrived at the intensive care unit. At this moment, three elderly people in their sixties and seventies were sitting there whispering to each other.

"Xiaoqing is here!" These old men nodded at Tang Qing upon seeing him arrive.

"Uncle, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, how is Grandfather" Tang Qing greeted the three of them before asking.

"Xiaoqing, it’s best to prepare yourself mentally. We’ve asked the doctor; he said that Old Master might find it difficult to get through this! Sigh...," a man in his sixties among the trio said to Tang Qing, and then let out a soft sigh.

After hearing what the elderly man had to say, Tang Qing also sighed softly. Grandfather was already over a hundred years old and had undergone heart surgery; they knew that this day would come sooner or later, but when it finally arrived, they still found it hard to accept.

This person speaking is Tang Qing's third uncle, also a prominent figure among the second generation of the Tang family and one of the current Nine Elders. He just finished attending a meeting when he received a call from his father’s life secretary and rushed over.

By the time he arrived, the expert panel from the Beijing hospital had already completed their diagnosis for his father. Due to his age and frail health, surgery was not an option. Thus, they could only rely on medication to keep him stable, with the possibility that he might pass away at any moment. They advised the family to be prepared.

Currently, all those experts were stationed outside his father's ward, never daring to leave a single step and remaining on standby around-the-clock. Despite knowing that there was little chance of recovery, no one dared to slack off.

Hearing this, Tang Qing looked through the glass door at Grandpa Tang lying in bed. Even though he knew such a day would eventually come, his eyes could not help but become wet.

Tang Qing had lost his parents early on in life and grew up under Grandpa Tang's care. From when he was old enough to understand things, all the memories he had were of his grandfather, with only faint recollections from photographs of his own parents. This closeness made him exceptionally attached to his grandfather; now that he is critically ill, Tang Qing is undoubtedly the most heartbroken.

Unlike those in Tang Qing’s generation who grew up under constant discipline and scolding from their grandfather, Tang Qing was pampered due to the affectionate relationship between generations. This isn't unique to ordinary people but applies even to those in high positions like him.

Moreso, his parents' tragic death could be attributed indirectly to Grandpa Tang’s circumstances during a period of turmoil ten years ago. The couple was sent down and ultimately took their own lives out of humiliation, leaving Grandpa Tang filled with remorse ever since. Consequently, he treated Tang Qing exceptionally well without ever resorting to punishment. This made his three sons and two daughters jealous beyond measure.

Fortunately, Tang Qing did not succumb to the spoiled habits typical of children from influential families; this was a source of relief for the elder generation.

"Father, it's Mother’s call!" Just as Tang Qing was quietly weeping while looking at his father in the ward, Tang Ran approached him with a phone in hand and said.

Tang Ran handed the phone to Tang Qing and then stood in front of the glass, staring at this old man. Tang Ran was similar to Tang Qing; since Tang Qing's couple were working outside their hometown, most of the time, Tang Ran would stay with his grandfather.

Only when Tang Qing transferred to Beijing did Tang Ran return and live with him. Little did he expect that just two days after he left, his grandfather fell ill again.

"Hello, Ying'er, Grandpa is in critical condition. When will you be back" After picking up the phone, Tang Qing said into it.

"I've also just received a call and am on my way to the airport now. By the way, my brother called me earlier saying that Huang Laogao from the Military Commission’s Huang family had been in critical condition due to heart disease recently too. It was reportedly declared hopeless by the hospital but then saved by a miracle doctor. I don't know if it's true or not. You'd better find out more about this!"

A soft feminine voice replied on the phone.

The woman on the phone was Tang Ran’s mother, Yang Ying from the military family of the Yangs. Her father is now Vice-Chairman of the Military Commission. Just by listening to her voice alone, it's hard to imagine that she is a decisive and resolute battlefield general. Moreover, Yang Ying is also the first female general in China with real power.

A short while later, Tang Qing hung up the phone after deep thought. He dialed his father-in-law’s number. His father-in-law and the Huang family both belong to the military and should have some connections. So he asked his father-in-law to inquire about it.

Originally, his wife could ask as well, but Yang Ying was working elsewhere, so many things were inconvenient for her.

A little while later, Tang Qing hung up the phone again. His wife’s information turned out to be correct: Huang Laogao from the Huang family indeed had heart disease recently. However, it wasn't in Beijing but in Shenzhen. It was rumored that he was saved by a miracle doctor there. Moreover, it seemed like the Huang family suffered some losses under this doctor's hands as well, though they didn’t talk about what those losses were.

Tang Qing hung up the phone and went to where his uncles were, telling them the news.

The moment Tang Qing finished speaking, his eldest uncle nodded thoughtfully and said, "Old Huang and I have some acquaintance. He seemed to have gone to the deep sea recently and indeed suffered a heart attack. However, how he was saved remains unknown. It's said that a doctor from the deep sea brought him back from the brink of death!"

All of the Huang family guards were lost at Xiao Yu’s hands, and they also got swindled out of money by Xiao Yu. Although Old Huang managed to save them in the end, it was worth every penny spent on their rescue; however, they wouldn't publicize such an incident since it wasn’t a proud moment.

"Wait a minute, I’ll make a call and ask!" After pondering for a moment, Tang Qing’s eldest uncle, Tang Shouyi, took out his phone and said. Then he dialed the number.

“Heh heh, Old Huang, how is your health” When the line was connected, Tang Shouyi spoke into the phone.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while before Tang Shouyi inquired about the old marshal’s condition back then. The old marshal wasn’t very secretive regarding his illness and told Tang Shouyi everything in detail. However, when it came to the doctor who treated him, the old marshal hesitated.

The old marshal assumed that Tang Shouyi had heard some gossip and was joking with him; thus, every time he was asked about the doctor treating him, Old Huang would steer the conversation away from the topic.

Seeing that the old marshal really didn’t want to talk about it, Tang Shouyi mentioned Grandpa Tang’s heart attack and expressed hope of finding the doctor who treated him.

Tang Family could do nothing. They had already exhausted all possible means they could think of, and Beijing hospitals were unable to help either. All they could do was try their own methods.
