evolent energy and overwhelming resentment in the air.Xiao Yu watched as the Taoist ran up the stairs with a faint smile; he had just been worried that if someone like Zhang Tian Shi or Li Shiqing wer...Chapter 62: Heading to the Ancient City

Suddenly, Jia Youcai didn't know if he was awakened by his mother's words or something else; he quickly got up and walked briskly to Lu Guozhang. With a face full of tears, he said, "Auntie, I'm wronged, help me! If you don’t help me, I really will go bankrupt! It’s not me, it really isn't me; it's all my mother..."

Lu Guozhang, who was already quite angry, became so furious upon hearing Jia Youcai that both his hands started to tremble. He glared at Jia Youcai and shouted, "Get lost! Get out of here right now! The two of you get out together!"

Song Hushan and others watched with interest; Zhou Ruoying felt puzzled. She recalled Xiao Yu's actions outside the hotel—could this be related to Xiao Yu But how did Xiao Yu manage it Zhou Ruoying was at a loss.

Looking at Jia Youcai in front of him, Lu Guozhang was heartbroken; he never expected that someone he valued would turn out like this. Not only did he disregard his relatives' reputation for the sake of money, but he even betrayed his own mother. Lu Guozhang really regretted not noticing these traits before.

"Old Lu, don't get so angry! After all, they are family!" Liu Jinhua tried to calm down the raging Lu Guozhang.

"Are you still defending them Look at what kind of relatives you have in your house!" Lu Guozhang's anger surged even more upon hearing his wife speak up for them.

Liu Jinhua was also helpless. Today, everything that Jia Youcai and his mother did had angered her; Lü Yuhang was the only grandson she cherished dearly. How could they act this way On the other hand, since one of them was her own sister and the other her nephew, she couldn't help but speak up for them to Lu Guozhang.

From her perspective, as vice-mayor, Lu Guozhang should be able to handle it. However, what she didn’t know was that even today, Lu Guozhang had no way of dealing with the situation. One person was his superior’s superior, and the other he couldn't gauge; how could someone who came together with the city's secretary-general be simple

"Ah... Secretary Wan, Zhang Secretary has made you see a farce!" Lu Guozhang sighed in disappointment as he looked down at Wan Hongguang and Zhang Dapeng.

Wan Hongguang knew that Lu Guozhang was still the father-in-law of Xiao Yu's sister, and although he could deal with Jia Youcai, Lu Guozhang couldn't. Therefore, he said, "Mayor Lu, please rest assured, we understand; every family has its own troubles!"

When Lu Guozhang heard Wan Hongguang's words, he was taken aback for a moment and then looked deeply at Xiao Yu standing beside Xiao Yu’s sister with a calm expression. He realized in his heart that it was because of this young man that Wan Hongguang had been so accommodating. In the depths of his heart, he couldn't help but sigh, "The wheel of fortune turns!"

After this series of commotions, people's appetite for food also diminished, but they still walked towards their respective tables. The gifts were nothing special either; only Chen Ying presented a Hetian white jade worth over ten thousand dollars as a small highlight.

Zhang Dapeng, Li Delu, and Lu Guozhang wanted to invite Xiao Yu and Wan Hongguang to the main table but were worried that Xiao Yu would disagree. Therefore, Lu Guozhang invited Xiao Yu’s sister and himself with others together to call them over.

Seeing his elder sister also come to join Xiao Yu and Song Huashan at the main table, Chen Ying was currently the most excited one. Today not only did he make an acquaintance with Zhang Dapeng but more importantly, he got to know Wan Hongguang. To say that Chen Ying gained the most today would be accurate, although he had spent a jade worth over ten thousand dollars, making so many connections was well worth it even if he had paid ten times as much.

The banquet gradually drew to an end; today's dinner party was sure to become the subject of people’s conversations in the city for quite some time. Especially Jia Youcai's performance would probably make him a laughingstock whenever he went out afterward.

After the banquet, Song Huashan and Wan Hongguang bid farewell to Xiao Yu; Xiao Yu promised them that they would meet up at the ancient city tomorrow morning. After Song Huashan and others left, Xiao Yu said goodbye to his elder sister and brother-in-law.

Sitting in the hall, when Xiao Yu's elder sister saw her younger brother walking over, she curiously asked, "Little brother, are these things really worth more than a million each"

Xiao Yu nodded to confirm. Then he pointed at the jade he had sent and said, "Sister, put this jade on Hanghang and don't let it leave his person!"

Hearing her younger brother's words, although Xiao Yu’s sister was puzzled, she still nodded in agreement. With a puzzled expression, she asked again, "Little brother, how do you know Secretary Wan and the others"

"I cured the illness for their family!" Xiao Yu said with a bitter smile. His sister knew that he didn't like the art of medicine, yet somehow, here he was on this path.

“Oh…” Xiao Ru nodded thoughtfully. She knew her brother disliked medicine but had inherited everything from her grandfather. Thus, she believed him when he spoke. Grandfather's medical skills were miraculous; her brother wouldn't be far off either. It was just that her brother didn’t like to practice medicine and never treated patients.

Xiao Yu bid farewell to his sister and returned home. He told his mother about what happened today, but Xiao Jianying only frowned slightly before nodding without speaking.

……………………

The next morning, Xiao Yu informed his mother that he was going to the old city to see a patient and left the house. He got into a taxi and headed for Song Hushan's villa in the hot spring community.

A persistent vegetative state A tricky situation! I wonder what caused it Yesterday, Wan Hongguang couple and Song Hushan couple presented me with heavy gifts for my nephew, giving me face. Within the bounds of my principles, I will do everything possible to help them.

Furthermore, the demeanor of Wan Hongguang couple was very low-key; they didn't have any bad habits associated with being officials or coming from a noble family, so Xiao Yu felt some sympathy towards them.

After arriving at Song Hushan's home, Wan Hongguang couple had already returned to the old city. Thus, Xiao Yu and Song Hushan, as well as Zhou Ruoying, set off in a car for the old city.

In the car, Xiao Yu asked Song Hushan, "What exactly is the patient's condition"

Song Hushan shook his head and sighed, saying, "The patient is my niece. She’s twenty years old. Last winter vacation, she went out to play with friends at night. On her way back home, she took a shortcut past a construction site where she was struck by a brick that fell from a height above, hitting her head. It has been almost nine months since the incident."

Xiao Yu's expression became very serious, and he said, "How much do you know about the specifics Tell me everything you know!"

Zhou Ruoying took over and said, "At that time, since it happened in the capital city, Jia Yi was rushed to a hospital there immediately after being injured. Because she was sent to the hospital promptly, her life was saved; however, due to severe brain damage, she fell into an unconscious state even after recovery. Over the past six months, we have taken her to major hospitals and rehabilitation centers both nationally and internationally, but there has been no improvement at all. My elder sister and brother-in-law have lost hope in treatment and can only keep her by their side, hoping that talking to her might help her regain consciousness!"

The ancient city boasts a history of hundreds of years. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was second only to the capital in terms of political, cultural, and economic significance. Especially during the Qing dynasty, a special position known as the Viceroy of Zhili (a province that included the ancient city) was established specifically to oversee all matters concerning the ancient city. Zeng Guofan and Yuan Shikai both had significant connections with the ancient city.

The car stopped at the entrance of the top floor of the First People's Hospital in the ancient city.

On the top floor of the First People's Hospital in the ancient city, there is a very mysterious place in the hearts of all residents of the ancient city. This place is a special restricted area within the hospital, accessible only to designated nurses and doctors on this specific floor. Here lies the high-ranking officials’ ward of the First People's Hospital.

Xiao Yu and Song Hushan arrived at the high-ranking officials’ ward on the top floor of the First People's Hospital in the ancient city. Since Wan Hongguang’s daughter was hospitalized, she has been residing here continuously. The ward is equipped with the best nursing staff, physiotherapists, and nurses in the entire city to cater to her needs.

Under the guidance of Song Hushan and Zhou Ruoying, they were not obstructed at all as they reached the top floor where Wan Hongguang’s daughter was staying. The ward consists of an inner room (the actual patient room) and an outer room (a living space). When Xiao Yu and his companions arrived, Wan Hongguang and Song Haling were sitting in the living space, looking through the glass window at their daughter lying on her hospital bed with furrowed brows.

Wan Hongguang and Song Haling, who were sighing and lamenting in the living room, immediately stood up when they saw Song Hushan and his wife accompanying Xiao Yu in. They greeted him politely and said to Xiao Yu, "Brother Xiao, you've really gone out of your way!"

After returning from Lu Yuhang's first birthday banquet yesterday, they made another phone call to confirm Xiao Yu’s appearance before mentioning the matter of Xiao Yu treating Old Zhong.

Song Hushan had also heard about Old Zhong’s illness, but he never imagined that it was Xiao Yu who treated him. No wonder Song Haling’s attitude towards Xiao Yu changed so dramatically after their first meeting.y dispelled the strength he had just gathered.Note that his strength in the Martial Arts Pavilion ranks among the top five. Even the Pavilion Master finds it difficult to defeat him, but now he has be...
