Xu was infuriated upon hearing this.
“How dare you, Jiang Jun!
You ungrateful…”
With a slight raise of his right hand from Xu Guosheng, she imdiately shut up.
Despite Xu Guosheng being her husband, he could be unimaginably ruthless if she didn’t respect him in public.
“Continue,” Xu Guosheng commanded.
Jiang Jun knew the weight of his next words and carefully organized his thoughts before continuing:
“Boss, my suspicion didn’t erge out of thin air.
It’s due to sothing that man said.”
“Which words?”
“I’m not sure if you noticed, but that man said that without his treatnt, the young master would start turning blue-green in three hours, beco cold to touch in six hours, show no sign of life in nine hours, and finally die after twelve hours.
The shift in our young master’s complexion ca exactly three hours after those words!”
“Bang!”
That statent exploded in everyone’s hearts like a bomb!
Three hours!
Turns blue-green!
Six hours!
Cold body!
Nine hours!
No sign of life!
Twelve hours!
Completely dead!
The seemingly baseless words were proving to be like a curse that was becoming reality!
The thought of the man lying sick in bed showing no signs of life in six hours and being irretrievably gone in nine made everyone gasp!
What were the odds of such coincidences in this world!
Would Xu Guosheng stake his son’s life on the next few hours?
No way!
As a formidable figure in Lin City, Xu Guosheng took only a few seconds to decide and then commanded in a stern voice:
“Give the orders.
Find the man who was here just now, no matter what.
Bring him here unhard!”
“Yes!”
A gloomy shadow hung over the entire First Hospital.
In less than ten minutes, the whole of Lin City was on the hunt for one man.
That man was Ren Feifan!
Of course, Xu Guosheng wouldn’t idly sit and wait for the end.
After pondering for a while in the corridor, he decided to make a call:
The call was quickly connected:
“Old Cui, ha ha, long ti no see…Yes, yes, I will impose a penalty of three drinks on myself next ti…I just want to inquire about a person…right…her na is Cui Ying, do you know…no, she’s not in trouble, I just need her help.
Do you have her number…yes, got it, thank you, Old Cui.
I will visit you soon, okay…let’s settle on that.”
Disconnecting the call, Xu Guosheng shook his head in frustration.
It had been a long ti since he had made such a call, especially to such a declined family.
Xu Guosheng tried another number, belonging to Cui Ying, but, unfortunately, all calls went unanswered.
It seed that Cui Ying had either switched her phone to silent mode or didn’t have it with her.
Xu Guosheng felt his head pulsating with pressure.
Half an hour had already passed.
Each minute he lingered, his son’s situation worsened.
Suddenly a thought popped into his mind:
“I should have asked Xu Shihan; she seems to know these two well.
What was I thinking, I’m really getting rusty with age!”
Given Xu Shihan’s attire, she must be a patient in the hospital.
Getting her room number was, undoubtedly, much easier than reaching Cui Ying.
Desperate to save his son, Xu Guosheng, without a second thought, headed to Xu Shihan’s ward.
Upon recognizing Xu Guosheng, Zhang Ming’s face clouded over imdiately.
She had fortuitously witnessed how Xu Guosheng had tornted Cui Ying.
While she was aware of who Xu Guosheng was, it didn’t an she had to kowtow to him like others.
“What are you doing here?
Xu Shihan needs to rest and cannot be disturbed.”
Zhang Ming said coldly.
She then made to close the hospital room door.
It was clearly an eviction order.
Xu Guosheng was flustered.
Although unsure why the young girl had turned so hostile towards him, what mattered was seeing Xu Shihan imdiately.
Hastily he said in a flattering tone: “I have a very urgent matter to discuss.
I hope you can pass on the ssage to her for .”
“No!
If you have sothing to say, say it to .
I will pass it on.
I repeat, Xu Shihan needs rest!”
“This…” Xu Guosheng was clearly in a dilemma.
“Zhang Ming, let him in.”
The cold voice from the ward suddenly interjected.
It sounded like sweet music in Xu Guosheng’s ears.
Since Xu Shihan had allowed him in, Zhang Ming couldn’t refuse anymore.
Glaring at Xu Guosheng, she opened the door and snapped, “Co in!”
After entering the ward, Xu Guosheng quickly relayed the full story to Xu Shihan.
He couldn’t afford to waste more ti.
“So, you’re suggesting that Ren Feifan is a divine doctor?”
Xu Shihan squinted slightly.
At this mont, she realized that she had significantly underestimated Ren Feifan.
Although she had encountered various renowned ‘divine doctors’ throughout her life, this was the first ti she’d co across sothing as fantastic as described by Xu Guosheng.
Three hours, turning blue-green.
Six hours, cold to the touch.
Nine hours, no signs of life.
Twelve hours, dead!
Such detailed statents had co true?
Was that man a quack or a ‘divine doctor’?
Xu Shihan thoroughly recalled all aspects of Ren Feifan, but all she could conclude was that he seed very ordinary, not at all like a divine doctor.
If soone claid that he was a charlatan, she might have believed it a bit.
However, in her presence, Xu Guosheng was obviously not joking about his son’s life.
Moreover, how did Cui Ying know such a person?
At this mont, Zhang Ming, standing beside them, was left dumbfounded.
This was just like a TV drama – a ‘divine doctor’!
It was simply unbelievable.
“Zhang Ming, can you get in touch with Cui Ying?”
After pondering for a long ti, Xu Shihan decided to take a stand.
After all, human life was at stake.
Only then did Zhang Ming co back to her senses, “Seems like Cui Ying ntioned she was going to the antique market.”
Xu Guosheng’s brow furrowed.
When it was a matter of life and death, he didn’t want to wait.
He quickly made his exit, saying:
“I owe you both a al.
I am grateful for your help.”
Xu Shihan watched Xu Guosheng hustle off, murmuring to herself:
“Ren Feifan, ah Ren Feifan, are you a charlatan or a divine doctor?”
…
anwhile, Ren Feifan and Cui Ying had entered the antique-collection shop.
Upon entering, Ren Feifan noticed a short, bespectacled old man.
The man had small eyes and carried a sowhat arrogant air.
However, when he saw Cui Ying, his eyes brightened noticeably, and he imdiately broke into a friendly smile:
“Little Cui, you haven’t visited this old man for quite so ti now.
And who is this…”
The old man’s gaze landed on Ren Feifan, evidently intrigued.
He knew Cui Ying’s temperant well; she rarely brought a man here, especially one of her own age.
Could she be dating this man?
But this guy didn’t seem to be on par with Cui Ying.
“Little Cui, who is this…”
