Li Jiuzhen hurriedly snatched the two prescriptions He Dangui had found. After a careful look, he became excited. "My heavens... Elder He, these truly are the legendary Clear Source Qi Transforming Soup and Scorch-Heal Balm! And they are remarkably complete and detailed!"
He Dangui sighed. "Coming to Sea City this time really was the right decision!"
Seeing the two Divine Doctors in such an agitated state, Zhang Cui was somewhat frightened. They're just some prescriptions from that country bumpkin, Luo Xiu. What good could they be? Are the two Divine Doctors really this excited over them?
The members of the Lin family also gathered around.
Lin Youyuan glared at Zhang Cui and angrily questioned her, "Since an expert gave you these prescriptions, why didn't you use them? Did you not want my father to wake up? What are you really up to, Zhang Cui?!"
"I... I didn't," Zhang Cui said, her face bitter. She felt so guilty she could hardly breathe, stammering without knowing what to say.
At this moment, He Dangui and Li Jiuzhen were still poring over the two prescriptions, murmuring to each other and clicking their tongues in wonder. "I never expected to see such complete formulas! It must be the work of an expert!"
At that moment, Li Jiuzhen already had a vague idea of who had written the two prescriptions. He Dangui, too, had his suspicions.
Just then, Lin Fei hurriedly walked up to the two Divine Doctors. "Divine Doctors, is it still useful to use these two medicines now?"
"It's too late!" He Dangui shook his head and said, "If these two medicines had been used from the beginning, I believe this father and son would be hale and hearty right now. But now, because they've taken too many different medications, the poison has already seeped into their bone marrow. I'm afraid even a deity would have difficulty saving them."
As he spoke, he looked at Du Gang with a reproachful expression and said sternly, "Du Gang, you are the attending physician! You should know that patients cannot be given a random mix of medicines. Don't you understand such a basic concept?!"
"I..." Du Gang lowered his head. "I'm sorry, Master. I've been too busy these days and haven't spent much time here. I didn't know the patient's family was mixing medications."
"Sigh!" He Dangui let out a long sigh.
Thinking about what He Dangui had just said, the members of the Lin family were heartbroken and filled with a regret they couldn't put into words. Many of them even started to cry.
Lin Xiyue's beautiful eyes filled with tears as she asked in a choked voice, "Divine Doctors, is there really no other way? Please, I beg you to save my dad and my grandpa..."
He Dangui and Li Jiuzhen looked at each other, then both fell into deep thought. After a moment, He Dangui said, "I'm sorry, I am powerless in this situation. However, there is still a glimmer of hope."
Hearing this, everyone looked at him with anticipation.
He Dangui, however, turned to Zhang Cui. "That is to invite the Divine Doctor who wrote these two prescriptions. Since he could provide such formulas, it means his medical skills surpass my own and Brother Li's. If we can get him to act, there might still be a sliver of hope."
As he finished speaking, everyone's gaze once again fell upon Zhang Cui.
"Sister-in-law, hurry up and tell us! Which expert gave you these prescriptions? Do you still have a way to contact him?!" Lin Youyuan was so anxious he was practically bouncing on his feet. "Zhang Cui, whether Youpeng and Father can be saved now is all up to you!"
"..."
Zhang Cui lowered her head and hesitated for a long while before saying, "...Actually, Luo Xiu gave me these two prescriptions."
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes widened in disbelief. Li Jiuzhen and He Dangui, however, remained calm, because the two old men had already guessed it was Luo Xiu.
"Luo Xiu? Auntie, you're not joking, are you?" Lin Fei's expression was exaggerated with disbelief.
Xu Tao also chuckled. "You must have gotten it wrong. Luo Xiu? Does he have that kind of ability?"
Zhang Cui sighed and said, "I ran into him at Wan Yao Hall. He gave me these two papers, saying they could save my husband and father. I just took them without giving it a second thought. I didn't pay any mind to it because, just like all of you, I didn't believe that someone who came from the mountains would know anything..."
"Foolish!" He Dangui suddenly cut her off, his face filled with displeasure. "This young friend Luo you speak of, I know him as well! His medical skills are far superior to mine! Heh, some people are just blind to greatness, even when it's right in front of them!"
Li Jiuzhen glanced at He Dangui with some surprise, not expecting him to know Luo Xiu as well. Could it be that the great gains Elder He mentioned from his trip to Sea City were because he met Luo Xiu?
Then Li Jiuzhen said, "To be honest, the last time Old Master Lin was bedridden in this very hospital, I wouldn't have been able to save him if not for a few pointers from Luo Xiu."
Hearing this, everyone was astonished once again, looking at Li Jiuzhen in disbelief. Luo Xiu's medical skills... were really superior to those of the two Divine Doctors? How could that be possible?
Lin Fei's expression froze. Her eyes darted toward Lin Xiyue as a certain idea began to form in her mind...
"Alright, the top priority right now is to get Luo Xiu here! If we delay any longer, the two patients might truly be beyond saving!"
Zhang Cui nodded, hurriedly took out her phone, found Luo Xiu's number, and called him. She even put it on speakerphone so everyone could hear. A moment later, the call connected.
A lazy voice came from the other end. "Who is this?"
Zhang Cui said cheerfully, "Luo Xiu, it's me! It's me!"
Hearing Zhang Cui's voice, Luo Xiu's tone turned noticeably colder. "What is it?"
"Well... could you help—"
"Get lost."
Before she could even finish the word "help," Luo Xiu had already hung up.
In the hospital room, the faces of the Lin family members were all grim. In truth, they weren't surprised by Luo Xiu's attitude.
Xu Tao gritted his teeth in frustration. "That Luo Xiu, still sleeping at a time like this? Is he a pig? What's he so arrogant for! It's not like we can't manage without him."
"Shut your mouth!" Lin Youyuan roared. "Let me tell you, this time, we really can't manage without Luo Xiu! If you think you're so capable, then why don't you do something?!"
Faced with Lin Youyuan's scolding, Xu Tao obediently shut his mouth, not daring to utter another word.
Then, Lin Youyuan looked at Lin Xiyue, his tone softening. "Xiyue, Luo Xiu will probably listen to you. Why don't you try calling him?"
Lin Xiyue had already intended to do so. Compared to her pride and dignity, her father's and grandfather's lives were far more important. Without a second word, she turned and walked out of the hospital room, took out her phone, and dialed Luo Xiu's number.
A moment later, she returned to the room and nodded to everyone.
"He's on his way."
Upon hearing this, smiles appeared on everyone's faces. Lin Fei, however, cast a jealous glance at Lin Xiyue, then quietly left the room.
BOOM!
Just then, the door to the room was forcefully pushed open. An elderly figure rushed in hastily. Everyone looked and saw that the newcomer was none other than Zhao Gandan, the Vice President of the Martial Association!
Zhao Gandan completely ignored everyone else, walking straight up to Li Jiuzhen and He Dangui with a face full of smiles. "Divine Doctor He, Divine Doctor Li! I heard earlier that you both were here. What a fortunate meeting!"
Li Jiuzhen asked, "What's the matter, Vice President Zhao? You seem to be in quite a rush."
"Sigh!" Zhao Gandan let out a long sigh and said bluntly, "To tell you the truth, my newly accepted disciple got into a conflict and was seriously injured. He's lying in the hospital right now. Since both Divine Doctors are here today, I took the liberty of coming over to ask if you could take a look." He added, "Perhaps you two could spare a moment? His room is also on this floor, just a few steps away."
Li Jiuzhen, however, waved his hand and refused flatly. "I'm sorry, Vice President Zhao, but you'll have to ask someone else."
...
「Sea City Riviera Villa District.」
After receiving Lin Xiyue's call, Luo Xiu got out of bed, got ready, and left the house. However, he hadn't gone far when Su Guobang arrived to see him, carrying large and small bags of gifts.
"Yueyue, where's Doctor Luo?" he asked, finding Su Shanyue exercising in the yard.
Su Shanyue didn't dare to speak in front of Su Guobang, afraid her voice might harm him, so she used sign language to indicate that Luo Xiu had just left for the hospital.
Su Guobang immediately grew anxious. "Oh, you silly girl, why didn't you make him stay?! Come on, Yueyue, let's go! Hurry to the hospital with Grandpa and find Doctor Luo!"
