"Give me the data to look at!" Dr. Wu spoke up, examining the child and frowning slightly. "This is not an ordinary illness. Give me a copy of the examination results!"
The many doctors busied themselves, not daring to delay even a moment.
After some time, Dr. Wu shook his head, "Unless the Golden Immortal himself has reincarnated, this child is unlikely to survive!"
"This..."
The doctors stood frozen, unsure of what to do. They knew very well that the child lying on the hospital bed was no ordinary person. If anything were to happen to him, not only they, but Director Zhao and the others, would be in serious trouble.
"Dr. Wu, you are a golden doctor in Qingzhou. Do you have no solution at all?" Liu Hao said, his heart filled with despair. "The child lying here is extraordinary, but..."
"I am well aware of that," Dr. Wu waved his hand. "But this condition is extremely rare, and I am also at a loss."
Director Zhao entered the ward, his expression suddenly changing. "Dr. Wu, if even you have no solution, then what is to be done?"
"This condition is quite peculiar. With Western medical means, it is probably difficult to turn the tide. If there were a highly skilled traditional Chinese medicine doctor, there might still be a glimmer of hope," Dr. Wu stated frankly.
Shen Tianlong stood there, his expression becoming dazed. This was the only bloodline of the Shen family, and it pained him immensely.
"A highly skilled traditional Chinese medicine doctor?" Liu Hao blinked. "Those two from before seemed to be TCM practitioners. I wonder..."
"Shut up!" Director Zhao glared. "Those two quacks, do they deserve to be called highly skilled TCM doctors?"
"Director Zhao, the dean just made a call. The divine doctor he invited was driven out by you!"
A chief physician rushed over. The dean was on a business trip and did not understand the hospital's affairs. However, after being driven out, Zhao Handong personally called the dean, becoming even more exasperated.
"He was really invited by the dean?" Director Zhao stumbled, almost falling to the ground, his expression slightly flustered.
"As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we cannot easily miss it!" Shen Tianlong looked at Director Zhao. "I will personally go and invite him now!"
"Elder Shen, you are too kind. You are a national general, a role model for us," Director Zhao stated frankly. "I will take a few chief physicians to invite him personally!"
Shen Tianlong nodded and didn't say much else. He just wanted to stay by his grandson's side. With Director Zhao handling it, he felt reassured.
After obtaining the address from the dean, Director Zhao and the others boarded an ambulance and arrived at the Divine Doctor's Clinic. Bai Xiaosheng was practicing medicine and was somewhat confused by such a grand occasion.
"Is Divine Doctor Zhao here?" Director Zhao asked urgently after getting out of the car.
"My master is in the backyard drinking tea," Bai Xiaosheng said in surprise. "May I ask who you are..."
Director Zhao said nothing more and headed towards the backyard, his heart filled with anxiety. The child was in critical condition, and if anything went wrong, he feared he would be ruined.
In the backyard, Zhao Handong was drinking tea, appearing very leisurely. The surroundings were even more elegant.
"Divine Doctor Zhao, I was rude earlier. Please forgive me!" Director Zhao quickly cupped his fists. "The patient's condition is critical. I hope Divine Doctor Zhao can come out of seclusion again."
"Isn't this Director Zhao from Qingzhou Hospital?" Zhao Handong smiled. "I am merely a quack; I cannot bear the title of divine doctor!"
"It was my foolishness, not asking clearly before driving Divine Doctor Zhao out. I am truly deserving of death," Director Zhao said sincerely.
Zhao Handong drank his tea, his gaze becoming even more indifferent, as if he were unhurried.
"Divine Doctor Zhao, the child is in critical condition now. Once his illness is cured, I will surely come to beg for forgiveness another day!" Director Zhao said earnestly.
Zhao Handong waved his hand. "Seeing how sincere you are, I will tell you the truth. With my medical skills, I cannot cure that child. To truly heal him, I'm afraid my master will have to personally intervene."
"May I ask who your esteemed master is?" Director Zhao asked doubtfully.
"It is the young man who was driven out of Qingzhou Hospital with me. Although he is young, he understands many difficult and complicated diseases. If you hadn't driven us out, the child would probably have recovered already," Zhao Handong stated frankly.
"I truly have blind eyes!" Director Zhao complained. "I don't know how to invite your esteemed master out!"
"My master is currently angry. To invite him out, without something significant, it probably won't work."
Zhao Handong smiled. "You can judge for yourself!"
Director Zhao frowned and then said to Liu Hao, "Quickly go and invite Elder Shen. As long as he makes an appearance, this matter will surely be resolved."
Shen Tianlong was a national general and had considerable prestige in Qingzhou. With him going, it would naturally be a smooth process.
Not long after, Shen Tianlong personally arrived. Zhao Handong also quickly stood up and cupped his fists towards the elder. "Elder Shen, you are highly respected. Coming personally today, my master will surely not disappoint!"
"It is all their foolishness for offending the distinguished individual," Shen Tianlong cupped his fists. "I have personally come to invite, hoping that Physician Lu will take action!"
Zhao Handong said nothing more and led them towards the common village.
It was getting late, and many people in the common village had fallen asleep. The passing of the car startled many people from their dreams, and they looked outside.
Grandma Guihua's courtyard was already filled with cars, with Shen Tianlong leading the way, and Director Zhao accompanying him.
Lu Fan was about to fall asleep when he seemed to sense something and walked outside.
"Master!" Zhao Handong respectfully bowed. "These few are from Qingzhou Hospital and wish to invite you to act!"
"You wish to invite me?" Lu Fan glanced over. "Before, at the hospital, they were very arrogant! They even drove me out. Now they come to invite me, isn't that contradictory?"
"Physician Lu, it was my ignorance. I beg Physician Lu to act!" Director Zhao cupped his fists, his tone pleading.
Lu Fan stood with his hands behind his back. "I can indeed cure the child's illness, but why should I act?"
"This..."
Director Zhao's face turned grim. At this critical juncture, delaying even a second could be life-threatening. Now that Lu Fan refused to act, he was even more helpless.
"Physician Lu, the patient is my grandson. Please take pity on me. He is the only bloodline of my Shen family," Shen Tianlong came forward, his eyes filled with pleading.
Grandma Guihua also came to the door and was somewhat bewildered by the scene.
"Master, this is Elder Shen. He fought on the battlefield many years ago and is highly respected in Qingzhou," Zhao Handong stepped forward and said. "His three sons all died on the battlefield, and now only the sole bloodline remains."
"So that's how it is!" Lu Fan nodded and stepped forward to help Shen Tianlong up. "Elder, do not worry, I will not disappoint you!"
Shen Tianlong looked excited and felt immensely grateful. With Lu Fan's words, he felt much more at ease.
Surrounded by many chief physicians from Qingzhou, Lu Fan left the common village and arrived at Qingzhou Hospital.
