"Okay, I've decided. I will go and bring Divine Doctor Zhang Ju here. Wait for me to return." After Chen Tianlong finished speaking, he turned and walked out of the hospital room.
At the hospital room door, Zhao Lei and Zhang Yufei were waiting outside. Seeing Chen Tianlong come out with his right shoulder still bandaged, they were momentarily stunned.
"Chen Tianlong, how's everything going?" Zhao Lei asked first.
"Well, it's a bit bad. I'm not going to elaborate. I need to go to the Beiji Medical Manor in Tiegang District to find someone named Zhang Ju; he's the only one who can save Wushuang."
Chen Tianlong didn't want to give further explanations, so he directly revealed his upcoming itinerary.
"Alright, then I'll go with you," Zhao Lei said without hesitation.
"I want to go too."
Zhang Yufei was very worried about Chen Tianlong's injury. Although she had some matters at the police station, she decided not to care about them at this moment.
"You two don't need to go. Zhao Lei, you have classes and shouldn't neglect your studies because of this."
Chen Tianlong became serious. He was the cause of this situation and didn't want too many people to suffer along with him, so he turned and said to Zhang Yufei, "Yufei, is everything okay at the police station?"
"I gave her three days off!"
At this moment, Zhao Bing came out as well, having overheard the conversation among the three, and quickly added.
"Uh..."
Chen Tianlong, after hearing this, was at a loss for words. The pressing matter now was to find Zhang Ju as soon as possible.
Zhao Bing was also worried about Chen Tianlong's injury. Although this guy's physique was strong, as evidenced by being discharged the day after being shot last time, this situation might be different, but Zhao Bing remained concerned.
Since Zhang Yufei wanted to go with him, Zhao Bing decided to give her a few days off; otherwise, she'd be distracted even if she went back to work.
"Thank you, Director. Chen Tianlong, I'll go with you." Zhang Yufei felt delighted and was grateful, knowing Zhao Bing deliberately helped her out.
"Alright."
Chen Tianlong sighed with relief and reluctantly agreed, while Zhao Lei hesitated before heading back to school. After all, it wasn't the weekend—just Tuesday—and as a student, it's natural to worry about friends, but students have duties too.
Chen Tianlong, on the other hand, had special privileges, plus Lin Batian supported him, making skipping classes inconsequential.
The two packed some things and started their journey to Tiegang District in the northern part of South Sea City at eight o'clock the next morning.
Chen Tianlong's Audi sped along the road and reached Tiegang District by around one in the afternoon.
However, merely arriving in the district didn't guarantee a quick find of Beiji Medical Manor. The main issue was that it couldn't be located in the GPS—what situation was this? Could it be that Beiji Medical Manor no longer existed?
This was infuriating, especially at such a critical moment. A fiasco here would be unbearable for Chen Tianlong.
"Chen Tianlong, don't worry. We'll definitely find Beiji Medical Manor and bring Divine Doctor Zhang Ju back," Zhang Yufei reassured Chen Tianlong, knowing his silent anguish during the journey.
Chen Tianlong acknowledged her care by nodding.
After inquiring all the way, they finally drove onto a dirt road, revealing they were evidently in a mountain area.
Chen Tianlong frowned, finding it hard to believe such a Miracle Doctor would reside in the wilderness and even establish a Medical Manor here.
Though the road was uneven, it was still passable. After some tossing about, the Porsche finally reached a manor's entrance.
Compared to Tianshu Manor, this place seemed less grand, with weeds everywhere suggesting a lack of management, turning it rather desolate.
In Chen Tianlong's mind, a Medical Manor should belong to a wealthy family, implying it would be well-groomed. Yet, the entrance appeared bleak with no decorative trees or flowerbeds in sight.
The two parked the car under the shade of a tree outside, securely locked the doors, and headed towards the manor's entrance. Though less grand, Chen Tianlong was amazed to discover an identical map to Beidou Seven Stars Map on the right side of the entrance.
The map represented the Beidou Seven Stars, but the location pointed to a large star not far from the Beidou Seven Stars.
Polaris?
Chen Tianlong realized, making sense of why it was called Beiji Medical Manor.
After shaking his head with a bitter smile, Chen Tianlong mused, "Did those people from the past like Beidou Seven Stars and Polaris so much that they each decided to name their manors after them?"
"Chen Tianlong, what are you looking at? Let's go inside," Zhang Yufei asked, noticing Chen Tianlong staring at the map for a while, puzzled.
"Oh, nothing. Just found the map familiar and was curious," Chen Tianlong explained as he walked.
Zhang Yufei, not being one to pry unnecessarily, just asked casually without delving deeper.
The two reached the entrance, which was unguarded, yet the door was tightly shut. It was an old-fashioned wooden double door.
Chen Tianlong knocked forcefully a few times, and before long, the door creaked open with a "squeak," revealing a young man who appeared to be sixteen or seventeen years old, with sharp features.
As the young man saw the two outside, he was initially surprised, then his expression darkened as he asked, "What are you here for at Beiji Medical Manor?"
Seeing the young man's wary expression, Chen Tianlong couldn't help but smile bitterly. And, indeed, it's no surprise that two strangers suddenly knocking on the door would be seen as suspicious.
"Oh, young man, we're here to pay respects to Mr. Zhang Ju," Chen Tianlong directly expressed.
Clearly, the young man raised an eyebrow upon hearing Zhang Ju's name, heightening his vigilance but seemed to remember something, opening the door forcefully.
"Then... please come in!" After opening the door, the young man respectfully gestured with his hand, indicating for Chen Tianlong and Zhang Yufei to enter.
This gesture made Chen Tianlong feel uneasy. The young man was frowning moments ago; why had he suddenly turned so respectful?
While pondering this, Zhang Yufei pulled Chen Tianlong's hand and led him into the medical manor.
Chen Tianlong was taken aback, never expecting Zhang Yufei to be so bold. Although she had confessed to him before, he'd thought it was because she believed she was about to die. Having a girlfriend already meant he wouldn't pursue other girls.
However, Zhang Yufei's casual grab was hard to dismiss, so Chen Tianlong acted as if he hadn't noticed, following her inside.
After walking for a while, a rock garden appeared ahead, followed by a fork in the path. Chen Tianlong and Zhang Yufei naturally didn't know which way to go, so they turned around hoping for the young guy to lead the way, only to find he had disappeared.
