Chapter 568 - Not Enough Quantity

invited experts here, so they were considered half-owners in this place, and this room was used specifically for receiving guests."Little Brother Xiao, do you know if there's anything the person you w...Master Doctor Miaoshou

"Alright, let's go and see the patient."

Ancient Master Yue responded to Director Zhou's words and walked towards a nearby changing room with him.

"Ring ring..." Right as Ancient Master Yue turned around, Tang Qing’s phone started ringing.

When Tang Qing pulled out his phone upon seeing the incoming number was from Deep Sea City, he had an uneasy feeling in his heart. After answering the call, Tang Qing's expression gradually darkened.

"Qing, what happened Is something wrong" Upon seeing Tang Qing's expression, the elders of the Tang family all turned to look at him and immediately asked once he hung up the phone.

“The doctor has returned home for Chinese New Year and isn’t in Deep Sea City.” Hearing the words of the Tang family elder, Tang Qing furrowed his brows as he said this.

"Ah, is there a specific location for where that doctor’s hometown is" Upon hearing what Tang Qing had to say, Second Uncle Tang Shouxin hurriedly interjected and asked.

“Asked about it. Only know that it’s somewhere in Yan Province, but even the people at his clinic aren’t clear on its specifics.” Tang Qing said dejectedly.

Hearing this, the elders of the Tang family also sat down dejectedly in their chairs; despite being a powerful family, they didn't have enough influence to quickly locate someone within a province.

So upon hearing that they weren’t sure where exactly the doctor’s hometown was, all of them felt cold inside, knowing that by the time they found him it would already be too late.

The Tang family had just started feeling hopeful when this hope was cruelly dashed; this made their hearts very uncomfortable.

Director Zhou, who had just walked up to the changing room entrance, heard the conversation of the Tangs. He hadn’t expected it to be like this, so he stopped walking as well and now didn't know if he should let Ancient Master Yue continue treating his condition or not.

When he looked back at Ancient Master Yue, he suddenly saw a glimmer of light in his eyes and said to him, "Doctor Yue, I heard that Xiao Yu the Master is your junior disciple"

The conference director remembered hearing Xiao Yu call Doctor Yue his senior brother during the exchange session. Furthermore, one was the head of the Xiao family while the other inherited from the Xiao lineage; there should be no mistake here. He had just forgotten about this when he first met Ancient Master Yue but after hearing what Tang Qing had to say, seeing Ancient Master Yue again reminded him that they were related in such a way.

Upon hearing President Zhou's words, Uncle Yue nodded in puzzlement. He didn't know why President Zhou brought up Xiao Yu at this moment, but the fact that he and Xiao Yu were fellow disciples wasn't a secret either, so there was no need to hide anything.

The Tang family members who had been dejected heard President Zhou's voice and all turned their gazes toward Uncle Yue. When they saw Uncle Yue nodding his head, the previously listless Tang family members suddenly seemed to be infused with a surge of energy.

Even Tranquil Tang Qingshan, who had initially appeared calm and composed, immediately stood up as well, her face revealing excitement. The process from hope to disappointment and then back to hope must have been a crushing blow for the Tang family members.

"Doctor Yue, do you know where Doctor Xiao Yu's hometown is" Tang Qingshan walked over to Uncle Yue and asked him.

Several of the senior members from the Tang family also stood up and began walking toward Uncle Yue and President Zhou.

Uncle Yue looked at Tang Qingshan and the elders from the Tang family approaching, looking puzzled. Although he felt that the Tang family's request for Xiao Yu might have something to do with seeking medical treatment, before confirming this suspicion, he wouldn't disclose Xiao Yu’s address. After all, the Tang family was a powerful force; what if they weren't trying to seek medical help from him

Simultaneously, Uncle Yue couldn’t help but feel indignant—when they first arrived, not one person from the Tang family had spoken with him, yet now that they needed his help, they all came forward. Although he knew it was quite normal for people of their status to act this way, it still left a bad taste in his mouth.

However, knowing the difference in their statuses, Uncle Yue didn't express any dissatisfaction.

"May I ask what you need my junior brother for" Uncle Yue asked the Tang family members.

"Doctor Yue, our senior is waiting to be saved. We've heard that Doctor Xiao excels at treating heart diseases and wish to invite him over!"

When he heard Uncle Yue’s words and saw his puzzled expression, Tang Qingshan didn’t hesitate in explaining.

"Hmm... My junior brother has already moved to the capital. Whether or not I can get ahold of him is beyond my control," Uncle Yue said after pondering for a moment upon hearing the Tang family’s words.

Since they were seeking Xiao Yu due to medical reasons, he saw no need to hide this information, so with just a brief contemplation, he informed them accordingly.

The Tang family members’ faces instantly lit up when they heard that Xiao Yu was in the capital. This was the best news since their elder fell ill.

When they learned from Uncle Yue that he knew where Xiao Yu lived originally, they were genuinely worried about him residing far away—it would take a lot of time to get there, and they had no idea if their senior could hold on until a doctor arrived. They never expected Xiao Yu to be living right in the capital, which left them feeling excited.

"May I ask for Doctor Xiao's specific address We will send someone to pick him up!" Tang Qing asked Old Yu with a question.

"No. 2 Houhai Lane!" Old Yu didn't hide the information and said directly.

"No. 2 Houhai Lane No. 2 Houhai... Tang Qing repeated this address several times, feeling very familiar with it. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and looked at the three old men of the Tang family in astonishment.

At that moment, the three elders of the Tang family were also quite surprised. They had lived in Beijing all their lives and held high positions; naturally, they knew where Houhai Lane was located. Moreover, some of them personally experienced the incident involving the State Councilor back then, even if they hadn't been there themselves, everyone was very familiar with it because what happened at that time caused a huge uproar.

So when Old Yu mentioned No. 2 Houhai Lane, after a moment's thought, they knew where it was located as well since they were also quite familiar with the area over there.

"Are you sure Doctor Xiao lives in No. 2 courtyard of Houhai Lane" The three elders looked at Old Yu seriously and asked.

Seeing the expressions of the Tang family's elders, Old Yu found it strange; he didn't know why they were so surprised but he was certain that he hadn't made a mistake about Xiao Yu's address. After all, he had visited there many times before, so when he saw their looks, Old Yu nodded and said: "There won't be any mistake. I've gone there several times during the Spring Festival."

The Tang family members looked at each other upon seeing that Old Yu didn't seem to be lying; they hadn't heard of anyone living in that courtyard over there!

Actually, it was understandable as no one had lived in that courtyard for decades. They thought nobody would ever live there again, so nobody paid special attention to it.

Moreover, not everyone knew about Xiao Yu's existence. Only those who were close to him and his relatives at the family knew about him. Even among these relatives, only the direct descendants knew of Xiao Yu's true origins.

Seeing how certain Old Yu was in what he said, they could be assured that there wouldn't be any mistake.

"Who will go" Tang Shouxin glanced at his family members and asked.

"Uncle Er (Second Uncle), I'll go!" Upon hearing Tang Shouxin's words, Tang Qing spoke up.

"Xiaoqing, you can't. Your status isn't high enough!" When Tang Shouyi heard Tang Qing's words, he smiled bitterly and said; it was truly laughable that someone from the third generation of their family couldn't have sufficient weight to invite a doctor. After all, at forty years old, Tang Qing already had real power as an undersecretary minister and could be a potential candidate for high office in the future—yet his status wasn’t high enough.

But this was indeed a fact that even families like theirs couldn't deny.

Tang Qing was also stunned when he heard his uncle's words. Were there doctors that their family wasn't qualified to invite As for Houtai Hutong No. 2, he knew about it, and he was clear about the events of the past as well, but he wasn’t aware of the details inside.

Not just him, even other members of the Tang family didn’t necessarily know the reason behind it either. If not for his grandfather informing him, Tang Shouyi wouldn't have known either. He was probably the only person in the Tang family who knew about the origin of this courtyard besides his grandfather.

"I’ll go then," said Tang Shouyi after a moment’s consideration as he looked at the elderly man inside the ward. He knew that his grandfather's illness couldn’t be delayed any longer, so he decided to make the trip himself.

After saying this, Tang Shouyi walked out and headed for the exit of the hospital, where two middle-aged men followed him from a corner.

The Tang family watched as Tang Shouyi walked away before turning to Dr. Ye and said, "Dr. Ye, we’ll leave Grandfather in your care."

After hearing the words of the Tang family, Old Ye nodded but didn't speak further; instead, he turned around and went into the dressing room. President Zhou saw this and hurriedly followed.

Tang Shouyi's car drove nonstop to Xiao Yu’s house. When his car pulled up in front of Xiao Yu’s siheyuan gate, he saw that the door was wide open, which made him believe what Old Ye had said earlier.

"Who are you here for" As soon as Tang Shouyi walked through the gate, an old voice from a guardhouse next to it asked.

“Uh… I’m looking for Dr. Xiao Yu; I need him to make a house call,” Tang Shouyi said, startled by the sudden sound but not daring to waste time in answering.

"A house call Xiao Yu needs to leave for the deep sea early tomorrow morning and I'm unsure if he’s taking appointments today. Why don’t you wait inside while I ask around"

After the old man finished speaking, he headed towards the backyard. Tang Shouyi and his group didn't enter the house but stood there waiting; to be honest, this kind of wait was unprecedented for him. In the past, not only did they have a designated doctor for their grandfather's health issues, even he had a personal physician who would bring top-notch medical equipment over upon request.

But now, he felt like an ordinary family member, quietly waiting at the gate, and it was then that he could empathize with how regular patients felt when seeking medical help.

The time passed for just three minutes, but to Tang Shouyi, it seemed like several hours had gone by. He kept checking his watch as each second ticked away until about five minutes later, the old man returned.

"How is it Is Dr. Xiao seeing patients today" Upon spotting the elderly gentleman, Tang Shouyi hurried over and asked quickly.

“Just wait for a moment; Xiao Yu is packing his things.” The elder nodded when he saw someone close to his age approaching him.ntarily.Wang Haiyang didn't expect them to have guns.
