he lives or dies is none of their business.Seeing the crowd disperse, Xiao Yu hurried over and followed closely behind were Old Yue. The person who looked like an official tried to stop them but seein...Chapter 567: Requesting a Doctor

After hearing Tang Shouyi's words, the elderly Marshal Huang pondered for a moment before recounting how he fell ill. By the end of his story, even he was moved; it seemed that he had already stepped into the realm of the dead but had been forcibly pulled back by that doctor.

He admired that doctor's medical skills immensely, yet he merely shook his head and did not speak about the doctor's temperament. In Marshal Huang’s view, Xiao Yu was somewhat rigid.

Indeed, his household guards were still struggling with their condition. They had sought out many doctors for the guards' conditions, but none of those doctors could do anything to help them.

To make matters worse, Xiao Yu also shared a brotherhood bond with Zhang Dahan. After returning to Beijing, Marshal Huang inquired about Xiao Yu’s background. Given that Xiao Yu was able to form a brotherhood bond with Zhang Dahan, it couldn’t be simple. Yet no matter how they investigated, they found nothing.

Even Marshal Huang visited Li Suijun but didn’t gain any useful information. Furthermore, their household had also been forced to pay Xiao Yu some money; even though that amount of money wasn’t significant for them, it was a question of face for the Huang family. Hence, no one in the Huang family ever mentioned Xiao Yu.

However, he couldn't not tell Tang Shouyi who asked him about it, especially since this matter related to Old Master Tang’s life; if he didn’t say anything, he might be hated by the Tang family!

When Tang Shouyi heard that the elderly Marshal Huang had indeed been pulled back from the brink of death, he immediately became excited. They were also aware of some folk doctors who had passed down effective methods through generations; moreover, the elderly Marshal Huang had personally experienced this.

But when they learned that this doctor was in deep sea waters, they became anxious again—traveling to and from there would take a whole day. They didn’t know if Old Master Tang could withstand it.

With this thought, the Tang family members stood up and went to the door of the critical care ward, calling out the hospital’s director.

"Director Zhou, how long can Elderly Sir hold on" The eldest member of the Tang family, Tang Shouyi, asked a sixty-something-year-old doctor who emerged from the room with a serious expression and furrowed brows.

"Old Master Tang... this... We cannot guarantee it. With Old Master Tang's health condition, he could be in danger at any time..."

After hearing Tang Shouyi's question, Director Zhou pondered for a moment but still dared not speak. However, upon seeing the serious expressions of the Tang family members, he stammered out his reply.

The Tang family members also frowned upon hearing the Dean Zhou's words; this wasn't good news. Even if they found that doctor in the deep sea, wouldn't it be useless if Old Master Tang couldn’t hold on until then

A moment later, Tang Qing sighed slightly and said, "Dean Zhou, we need to go find a doctor in the deep sea. Can you think of a way to help the old master hold on until we return"

Tang Qing knew that Old Master Tang's illness could take him at any time, but they couldn't do anything about it. The hope they had just ignited naturally made them want to let that doctor have a look; whether or not it would work, they would have tried their best.

But if they didn’t go find this doctor, they always felt unsatisfied because Old Master Tang could still be saved but they hadn't done everything in their power.

"Mayor Tang, this... we really can't guarantee it. We can only say that we'll do our best!" Dean Zhou hesitated and said.

If Old Master Tang were an ordinary person, they would have guaranteed it because even if he died when they rushed back, his death was preordained; there was nothing they could do about it. But regarding Old Master Tang, they didn’t dare to say anything. After all, given Old Master Tang's status, the words that came out of their mouths were like water poured on the ground and couldn't be taken back. If they failed to fulfill their duty at that time, it would mean a failure on their part. Therefore, no one in Beijing Hospital dared to guarantee it.

"Sigh. However, if we could invite Old Dr. Ye from 'Ye Family Clinic,' maybe Old Master Tang could hold on for a while longer! If we can find the direct descendant of the Life-Saving Five Elements Needle, the chances would be even greater, but unfortunately, the Xiao family who practices this technique isn't currently developing in Beijing!" Hearing Dean Zhou's words, everyone from the Tang family fell silent. Seeing their silence, Dean Zhou sighed and said.

Although Dean Zhou hadn’t interacted with Old Dr. Ye before, he knew about the transmission of medical skills in the Ye family. Moreover, he had also attended the Medical Exchange Conference. However, as the dean of Beijing Hospital, when facing these barefoot doctors [university-trained doctors who worked in rural areas], he always wore a high-and-mighty look. Besides, there wasn't much intersection between Western and traditional Chinese medicine.

Dean Zhou knew that by doing this, it slightly elevated the other party's status, but they didn’t have any good solutions right now anyway. Moreover, all the Tang family wanted was to prolong Old Grandpa Tang’s life. Furthermore, even if Old Grandpa Tang passed away later on, it wouldn't be their concern.

"Oh, Dean Zhou, can that Ye Family really do it" Upon hearing Dean Zhou's words, the Tang family quickly followed up with a question; after all, they hadn’t heard of the Ye Family before and were somewhat doubtful. After all, none of the many experts in Beijing Hospital had any good solutions.

"This Ye Family also originates from the Xiao Family that practices life-saving techniques. The Life-Saving Five Elements Needle practiced by this Xiao Family is undoubtedly unique when it comes to prolonging lives,"

Although Dean Zhou was a Western doctor, at his level, he naturally understood traditional Chinese medicine and its wonders. Moreover, the transmission of skills in the Ye family wasn’t exactly a secret within their circle.

Dean Zhou still admired some masters of traditional Chinese medicine quite a bit; people like Old Chen and Old Wang were all objects of admiration for him. However, he was after all the dean of Beijing Hospital, with a position attached to his name, so naturally, he felt that he was one step above other doctors.

However, these hereditary masters of traditional Chinese medicine are the least impressed by such methods, so there has been no interaction between them.

Nevertheless, both sides are familiar with each other's medical skills. Especially since they all live in Beijing, they know each other well. That's why when Director Zhou saw the look on Mr. Tang's face earlier, he recommended Grandpa Ye.

"Alright, give me an address, and I'll send someone to invite him!" Upon hearing what Director Zhou said, Tang Qing nodded and spoke.

"Have the people from the deep sea go and invite that doctor in the deep sea area. I will arrange a private jet for them!" When Mr. Tang saw Tang Qing sending someone to invite the Ye family, he instructed him like this.

Although the deep sea region isn't within the Tang Family's power range, there are still people affiliated with the Tang lineage there.

"Oh right, Uncle, did Marshal Huang mention which address" Just as Tang Qing was about to contact someone, he realized that he had forgotten to ask for the address. He turned around and asked Mr. Tang.

"It's Dr. Xiao Yu near Wansheng Hall in the deep-sea antique market. Marshal Huang specifically mentioned that this doctor has a bad temper, so those who go to invite him should be mindful of their approach!"

Hearing what Tang Qing said, Mr. Tang told him and also recalled Marshal Huang's serious warning about the doctor’s difficult temperament, advising them to handle it tactfully when inviting the doctor. However, he didn't mention how bad his temper was.

Mr. Tang immediately knew that there must be something behind Marshal Huang's reminder, but he did not ask what it was since it would be like prying into someone’s wounds.

"Is the doctor you want to find Dr. Xiao Yu from Wansheng Hall in the deep-sea area" Hearing Mr. Tang's words, Director Zhou suddenly recalled who this doctor was that they were looking for.

"Huh Yes, does Director Zhou know him" Upon hearing what Director Zhou said, Mr. Tang asked, since he initially had his doubts about this young doctor based on Marshal Huang’s description, but the old man's condition could not wait, so even if he didn’t believe it, he still needed to invite him; it was better than waiting to die.

Now that Director Zhou knows him, things will be much easier as they can at least verify whether this doctor is reliable or not.

"I met him during an exchange conference. He's the head of the Xiao Family known for prolonging life. During the conference, he miraculously cured Mr. Lee’s grandson from Hong Kong Island. Although his method was very simple, it proved highly effective and established his reputation as a master in one fell swoop. However, his medical skills are like folk tunes and thus difficult to be recognized on a grand scale!"

After hearing the Tang family's inquiries, President Zhou thought for a moment and replied.

The Tang family hesitated after hearing President Zhou's words. They understood his meaning; they didn't want to let their elderly relative try folk remedies either. However, when they saw him in the hospital room, they could only sigh helplessly, especially considering the promising treatment of Marshal Huang's heart disease.

After giving instructions, the Tang family waited again. Many national leaders came to visit after hearing that Elder Tang was ill; those with close ties to the Tang family stayed, while others left after a brief visit.

An hour later, a young man led an elderly person to appear at the end of the corridor.

This was precisely who Tang Qing had sent to pick up Dr. Yue. The young man brought him directly to where Tang Qing and the rest were waiting.

"Dr. Yue, hello!"

"Oh, President Zhou! Hello, hello!"

When Dr. Yue arrived, President Zhou greeted him.

Earlier, when he was closing his clinic for the day, a young man had come looking for him at home and asked him to see a patient. Initially, Dr. Yue wanted to refuse but learned that it was President Zhou who had sent for him, and the place where he needed to treat was in Capital City Hospital. He knew there must be an important leader who fell ill; however, what puzzled him was why they would need his help when there were so many experts in traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine in the hospital, including several masters.

Although he thought this way, he didn't dare delay and quickly came over after packing up.

"Dr. Yue, these are the patient's relatives. The patient needs to be kept alive while they wait for the doctor they're hoping will arrive." When President Zhou introduced the Tang family, he did so briefly without going into details because of their special status. He then got straight to the point.

Even though President Zhou didn't provide a detailed introduction, when Dr. Yue saw the Tang family, his heart shook violently. Despite being such an age and having a reputation as one of the country's top doctors, he still felt nervous upon seeing some of the elderly members of the Tang family. However, since no one from the Tang side spoke up, neither did he, merely nodding at them (to be continued). his long life as an old immortal."Mox Li, go outside and guard; no one is allowed in, not even the family patriarch!" As someone who had lived for over a hundred years, the elder's mindset had reache...
