20: Chapter 0020: Ninety Percent Certainty
But Chu Ge had already gotten into the old-looking car, which symbolized far more than its appearance suggested.
Ouyang Die was driving herself.
After glancing at the rearview mirror, she hesitated for a mont before finally asking, “I suspect Mr.
Chu has already guessed sothing, right?”
“Yes,” Chu Ge nodded.
If even a big shot like Huo Tianqian was rendered silent, it was unlikely Zhao Wuji could do it, let alone those smaller families.
Thus, the answer was about to reveal itself.
“When I ca to Shanghai, I heard a rumor saying that Shanghai has Four Great Families, which overshadow everything and represent the pinnacle of power.
I suppose the Ouyang family is one of these four, right?”
Upon hearing Chu Ge’s response, Ouyang Die smiled, yet her smile contained a hint of bitterness: “My family has taken the lead among the Four Great Families because of the Old Master.”
Ouyang Die paused briefly, sighed softly, and added, “For now, that is.”
“Is it because of the Old Master’s health?” Chu Ge’s eyes flickered thoughtfully.
Ouyang Die turned her head to look at him, her tone complex as she said, “Exactly.
When the Old Master was healthy, the power of our Ouyang family was at its peak, with no one daring to challenge us.
But over the years, as the Old Master’s health has declined day by day, so has the strength of our family.”
“What worries
the most is not the external threats, but the internal ones,” Ouyang Die sighed and continued: “Grandfather has two sons, one is my father Ouyang Kangshi, and the other is my uncle Ouyang Guangren.
Over the years, grandfather has intended to cultivate my father as his successor, but my uncle is highly ambitious, and though he does not show it outwardly, he has been consolidating his own power in secret.
If sothing were to happen to grandfather, then the Ouyang family would likely fracture into fragnts in a short ti!”
Only a united Ouyang family is one of the Four Great Families.
If it splits, it may well beco just an ordinary minor family.
As she spoke, the car had already driven along the highway onto a private road.
At the end of this path was a large estate guarded by two security guards indicating clearly that this was the Ouyang family’s residence.
The car drove smoothly into the estate, and Ouyang Die was the first to get out, leading the way for Chu Ge.
However, sothing seed amiss in the Ouyang ho today; figures in white coats were hurrying in and out, and Ouyang Die, with a tremble in her heart, quickly grasped soone and asked, “What happened?”
The person, about to scold her, imdiately bowed respectfully on recognizing Ouyang Die, and said, “Miss Ouyang, it’s the Old Master, he suddenly beca critically ill!”
“What?” Ouyang Die’s breath hitched, too rushed even to greet others, she hurried towards a building, with Chu Ge closely following behind her.
This was a two-story building.
The first floor’s hall was filled with people who all had gloomy expressions, and a few elderly n in white coats were arguing vehently.
“Grandfather, how is my grandfather?”
As she was about to run upstairs, Ouyang Die was stopped by soone saying, “The Old Master’s condition is still unclear; you should wait before going there.”
Chu Ge entered the doorway just in ti to see a middle-aged woman dressed in lavish clothes, scoffing at Ouyang Die, “Hey, always trying to please everyone, wanting to secure a larger share of the inheritance in the future, but now the Old Master’s incident has disrupted your plans, hasn’t it?”
The middle-aged woman’s words caused many in the hall to frown, and a man in his thirties scolded her, “Shut your mouth!”
“I…” the middle-aged woman glared back, defiant but stamred a few tis and ultimately did not dare to openly challenge.
After scolding the woman, the man turned his head to look at Ouyang Die and asked, “Little Butterfly, where is that Divine Doctor you ntioned?”
This man is none other than Ouyang Die’s father, Ouyang Kangshi.
Ouyang Die wiped off her tears and pointed at Chu Ge, saying, “This is Mr.
Chu.
He might have so solutions for Grandfather’s condition.”
As soon as she finished her sentence, all eyes were fixed on Chu Ge, and the hall suddenly quieted down in an eerie silence.
“Just this young brat, can he save the Old Master?
What a joke!” Soone initiated this remark, and instantly, the hall erupted into noise, everyone talking over each other, just like a morning vegetable market.
“Enough!” Ouyang Kangshi shouted loudly.
After everyone quieted down, he walked up to Chu Ge, looked him up and down, and extended his hand: “Young man, it’s our first ti eting.
My surna is Ouyang, nad Ouyang Kangshi.”
“Chu Ge.” Chu Ge did not elaborate with courtesies and simply shook hands briefly.
“You say, you have a way to treat the Old Master’s condition?” Ouyang Kangshi hesitated for a little while, then cautiously asked.
“Yes.” Chu Ge nodded, “I have so understanding of the Old Master’s condition, I can try.”
Chu Ge did not speak overconfidently, although he was quite sure, it is better not to make any promises before the result is seen.
“Try?
The Old Master is almost at his end, and you say you’ll ‘try’?” The sa flashy middle-aged woman pointed at Chu Ge and scread: “Do you know what status the Old Master holds?
How dare you joke with Old Master’s life!”
The sharp voice made Chu Ge frown slightly; this woman was indeed annoying.
However, this ti, Ouyang Kangshi did not stop her because he also genuinely believed that it’s impossible for this young man, who seed to be in his early twenties, to have a solution when even the nation’s renowned experts and professors had been helpless.
Chu Ge’s expression turned cold: “I am here only because the Old Master entrusted
this morning.
If you do not believe, then there’s nothing more to say, I will leave.”
“Chu Ge!” Ouyang Die suddenly approached him, her eyes filled with pleading, “Don’t get angry, just give
a little ti…”
However, before Ouyang Die could finish her sentence, she was interrupted.
An old man in a white lab coat pushed through the crowd and shouted loudly, “I heard Little Butterfly brought back a Divine Doctor who can treat Old Man Ouyang’s body, where is this Divine Doctor?
Can the old man have a look?”
“Professor Zhang!” Seeing the old man, everyone around showed a respectful expression.
This old man was not one of those so-called “experts,” but truly capable!
Old Zhang walked straight up to Chu Ge, looked him up and down, and asked, “Can you treat Old Man Ouyang?”
“90% sure.” Chu Ge smiled faintly, and honestly, he wanted to say he was 100% sure.
“90%?” Old Zhang suddenly scoffed, his eyes filled with disdain, “I thought you were a prodigious young Divine Doctor, turns out just a boastful liar, claiming 90% sure, aren’t you afraid the wind might snap your tongue!”
Facing Old Zhang’s skepticism, Chu Ge’s deanor remained neither servile nor overbearing: “Do you think you can master all dical skills from ancient to modern tis?”
Old Zhang was startled and shook his head, “How could that be possible?
The knowledge of dicine is vast and magnificent, one can’t possibly claim to master it all in an entire lifeti.”
“Then how do you know I can’t cure the Old Master?”
