"Hello, has Doctor Xiao not yet recovered" Grandpa Tang Shouyi, seeing only Xiao Yu emerge alone, asked anxiously. He couldn't help it; their family's elderly patriarch was waiting for life-saving treatment, but the time seemed to be running out with each passing moment.

After hearing Tang Shouyi’s words, Xiao Yu shook his head helplessly and said, "I’m Xiao Yu, let's go, where is the patient"

"Huh" After hearing what Xiao Yu had to say, Grandpa Tang showed a hint of surprise. He had heard that General Huang mentioned Xiao Yu was young but hadn't expected him to be so young. In his mind, Xiao Yu should at least be in his forties or fifties. Thus, when he first saw Xiao Yu, he thought the latter must be a medical intern or assistant.

At this moment, he understood why General Huang had specifically mentioned that Xiao Yu was very young; it turned out that Xiao Yu was indeed so youthful.

However, at seventy plus years old, Tang Shouyi had lived a life of high office for decades. What hadn't he seen before So he quickly reacted and said: "You’re Doctor Xiao, right! Doctor Xiao, please come in!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yu nodded and walked out of his house with Tang Shouyi.

After stepping outside, Xiao Yu didn't get into Tang Shouyi's car. Instead, not long after, the garage door by the entrance opened, a black Audi came out, and the driver was precisely that elder who had just been around.

This elder noticed something unusual about Tang Shouyi when he first arrived and concluded he wasn't an ordinary person. So then, he told Xiao Yu and his mother that he would accompany them tonight; in case of any unforeseen circumstances, there would be someone to look after things, though they didn’t expect anything to happen.

After getting into Elder Wang's car, Xiao Yu followed Tang Shouyi’s car towards the Capital City Hospital.

Xiao Yu got off the car and looked at this Capital City Hospital. This wasn't his first time here; he had previously saved General Zhong there. It was only a few months later that he returned to this place once more.

"Doctor Xiao, please come in! And also you, sir!" After Tang Shouyi got off the car, he said to Xiao Yu and others. Although Xiao Yu appeared young, his example of curing General Huang made Tang Shouyi treat him with great respect.

Tang Shouyi had once held a position equivalent to that of a vice president; their family was also at its peak. But even so, what could it change If they were the visible power in this country, there were many enormous hidden forces as well, and those were truly the core of the nation.

If we say that people like us who hold high positions maintain a country's stability and prosperity, then these hidden forces are for the sake of national succession.

And the owner of the residence where Xiao Yu lived was one of those hidden figures, and even more importantly, he was an extremely influential member among them.

Originally, he wasn't supposed to know about these matters, but his grandfather did. As the eldest of the second generation in the Tang family, the grandfather told him everything. He was the only one in the Tang family who knew about this.

Xiao Yu and Wang's old man followed Tang Shouyi towards the top floor of Beijing Hospital.

"Please!" After Xiao Yu and his group came out of the elevator, Tang Shouyi, who had been walking ahead, gestured them forward.

The staff members next to Tang Shouyi didn't understand why Tang Shouyi was being so polite to these two people. They had been by Tang Shouyi's side for over twenty years and never seen him act this way before—even when he met the country’s top leader, Tang Shouyi hadn’t acted like this!

Even though they were curious, they didn't ask any questions because that was not something they could fathom.

When Xiao Yu and his group passed by a doorframe in the corridor, suddenly, seven or eight well-built young men ran out from the room next to it and blocked their way.

The old man behind Xiao Yu quickly moved in front of him upon seeing these people appear suddenly. He looked at those rushing out.

"What's wrong with you Move aside!" When Tang Shouyi saw this, his expression changed immediately, and he turned around to say.

"Sir, b-but... there’s a dagger on him!" After hearing the old man's reprimand, one of these young men who seemed like the leader spoke hesitantly.

There was no way around it. This was their duty. With so many national leaders visiting here, they had to strictly check everyone. Otherwise, if anything happened, it would be a huge deal.

It was precisely because of this that after hearing the young man's words, the old man hesitated and looked at Xiao Yu: "Doctor Xiao, could you leave your dagger here We'll give it back to you when you leave."

Xiao Yu didn't say a word but directly shook his head. He couldn’t part with this dagger no matter who said what.

Seeing that although Xiao Yu hadn't spoken, his attitude was very firm, Tang Shouyi considered for a moment and then said: "Move aside! There's nothing wrong."

Tang Shouyi had no choice. His father still needed medical help from others. Moreover, even if he didn’t know Xiao Yu’s identity, it wouldn't be simple; this kind of background was also proof.

Hearing Tang Shouyi's words, these young men reluctantly moved aside. Tang Shouyi led Xiao Yu and the rest to continue moving forward.

"Uncle Judge" Just as Xiao Yu and his companions reached the hospital room door, Tang Ran, standing beside them, exclaimed upon seeing Xiao Yu.

Tang Qing also spotted Xiao Yu, but after noticing the box on Xiao Yu's back and the beaming elderly man behind him, he assumed Xiao Yu was either an apprentice or assistant to this elder.

After all, their family had interacted with quite a few traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. Regardless of whether they were old or middle-aged, these doctors always had a young person carrying a medical box following them.

Hence, he viewed Xiao Yu in the same light and nodded at him before looking towards Old Wang behind Xiao Yu.

Upon hearing Tang Ran's call, Xiao Yu turned to nod at Tang Ran. He hadn't expected to run into these two here again; perhaps it could be considered fate!

Tang Shouyi gestured inside the room, and President Zhou emerged from the hospital ward once more. Upon seeing Xiao Yu, he said, "Master Xiao!"

"Hello! How is the patient" Hearing this person's greeting, Xiao Yu realized that he didn't recognize him. As for how this man knew of him, Xiao Yu didn't inquire but instead asked about the patient’s condition.

He saw several doctors, around seven or eight in number, all donned in sterile attire bustling inside the room; however, he couldn’t see the patient's appearance.

After hearing Xiao Yu's question, President Zhou shook his head and said, "The patient’s condition is very unstable. He has heart disease and had a stent installed before, but due to his advanced age, another operation cannot be performed."

Xiao Yu hadn’t anticipated the severity of the patient's situation, so he didn't hesitate any further and immediately stated, “Come on then, take me there quickly!”

Having said that, Xiao Yu headed towards a nearby locker room to change. President Zhou soon followed closely behind, and shortly thereafter, Xiao Yu appeared in sterile attire within the hospital ward.

"Junior Brother" Upon seeing the person entering alongside President Zhou, Old Yue tentatively called out.

“Yes Senior Brother, you’re here too!” Hearing his name called, Xiao Yu looked at who had spoken and replied. Although they all wore large masks covering their mouths, one could still discern some features from their voices and facial expressions.

"Senior Brother, how is the patient" Without waiting for Old Yue's response, Xiao Yu asked again.

“The situation isn’t good; the patient is too old, and he had a heart stent installed before. Now…” Upon hearing Xiao Yu’s question, Old Yue explained to him, ending with a helpless shake of his head.

Xiao Yu nodded and walked to the patient's bedside, extending his hand to take their pulse.

After a while, Xiao Yu released the patient's wrist and moved to the other side, continuing to take their pulse.

As he took the pulse, Xiao Yu's frown grew tighter.

A moment later, Xiao Yu released the patient's wrist and stood up, letting out a soft sigh.

"Junior Brother, how is it"

Seeing Xiao Yu stand up, Old Yue asked him. Hearing Old Yue’s question, the other doctors turned their gaze to Xiao Yu as well. After all, they had no idea what was wrong with this patient and given the person's identity, if he could be saved, it would mean great merit for them, not to mention the many benefits that would come in the future.

After Old Yue spoke, Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "The old man has lived a long life. Let their family accept his passing."

It turned out that when Xiao Yu took the pulse, he had already discovered that this elderly person was truly at death’s door. After all, as an ordinary person, living to nearly ninety years old made him a centenarian. Moreover, there were many old injuries on the patient and he had undergone surgery once before, greatly depleting his vital essence.

This case was different from that of Elder Song or Elder Wu. Even Old Marshal Huang was the same. Although they were quite elderly, their organs still held some potential to be tapped. Furthermore, people like Elder Song and Elder Wu had deep cultivation, so even though they were old, their internal organs were very robust. Their illnesses came from external causes, whereas this patient’s condition stemmed from a depletion of his inner essence.

Now, he would die once his last bit of vitality was consumed.

Xiao Yu did not say much to Old Yue and the other doctors but stood up and went outside.

"Doctor Xiao! Doctor Xiao! How is the old man" When they saw Xiao Yu come out, members of the Tang family crowded around him, asking anxiously.

At the same time, seeing Xiao Yu’s somber expression, their hearts already had a vague idea.

The Tang family now knew that Xiao Yu was the doctor. While they found it hard to believe he could be so young, with Old Marshal Huang's example before them, they couldn’t say anything either.

After hearing their question, Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "The old man has lived a long life; you should prepare for the worst." (To be continued...) for the high-ranking positions and benefits awaiting them and chose instead to follow Xiao Yu's grandfather in giving up their official posts to secretly protect the Xiao family.Back when the Wang Fa...
