Chapter 304: Chapter 241 Anxiety_3
“`
He carefully chose his words, trembling with fear, and said, “Mr. Wang, Elder Wang’s illness… I’m afraid… the heartbeat rate of Elder Wang’s heart is gradually slowing down, and within half an hour, barring any accidents, it will completely stop beating, by then…”
His speech was hesitant and filled with anxiety, given that the man before him held the power to decide his life or death!!
However, Wang Weilun had already grasped his meaning, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and let it out, his voice calm as he asked, “Is there not even a glimmer of hope?”
Upon seeing that Wang Weilun did not fly into a rage, Dr. Luo let out a slight sigh of relief and said,
“The hospital here really can’t find any effective solution anymore. However, Elder Gu, the divine doctor, might have a way. I have already contacted him, and he is on his way here!!”
Wang Weilun’s eyes lit up, “Are you talking about Gu Daosong, the divine doctor?”
Then he frowned and wondered aloud, “That’s not right, he should be in the capital, unless he has come back to visit his family?”
In this era, where Western medicine prevails and Chinese traditional medicine is in decline, there are still a few elderly people relying on their superb medical skills and their medical ethics, continuing the legacy of Chinese medicine and striving to promote it!!
Gu Daosong is one of the outstanding figures among this group, known as the national expert in traditional Chinese medicine and one of the most prominent figures in the Chinese medicine community today.
Although his ancestral home is in Guangyang City, he moved to the capital decades ago, as there’s a larger stage for him there, which is why Wang Weilun was puzzled.
Thinking of Gu Daosong’s medical skills, which could be compared to that of Hua Tuo if he were alive, Dr. Luo also brightened up a bit and said with a smile,
“Elder Gu, the divine doctor, is getting on in years and is now planning to return here to retire. I had some contact with him previously, which is how I learned of this news. He seems to have had some connection with Elder Wang in the past; when I told him about the situation, he said he would rush over immediately!!”
“Great, great!! It seems heaven has not forsaken the Wang Family!!” Wang Weilun nodded excitedly.
Elder Wang’s illness wasn’t something new, but until now it was not widely known, and aside from him and Elder Wang, only Dr. Luo was aware of it.
If the news of Elder Wang’s health issues were to spread, it would inevitably incite certain people to act, and then troubles would arise!!
In his lifetime, Elder Wang was extremely astute at judging people, making countless capable friends. Many of today’s influential figures owe him a debt of gratitude and only recognize him as their benefactor.
If Elder Wang were to pass away, then those influential figures might no longer be so eager to support the Wang Family.
At that time, it is very likely that the Wang Family would crumble and disappear from among the four great families, and then there would be only three, or perhaps another family would take the Wang Family’s place!!
“By the way, where did Baiyun go? Why is the boy so thoughtless today, running off without a trace after bringing his grandfather to the hospital? This is outrageous!!” Wang Weilun frowned and turned to his wife to say.
Mother Wang was also puzzled, “I don’t understand where he went either. This child has always been very close to his grandfather—it doesn’t make sense for him to disappear at a time like this!!”
“Dad, Mom, I’m right here!!”
“`
Just as Wang Baiyun was rushing over with Liu Wentian, they reached the door of the room and overheard his parents’ conversation. Wang Baiyun spoke up and said,
“Come in! Where have you run off to!! Your grandpa’s condition is getting worse right now, and he—cares about you the most. At a time like this, you should be by his side!!”
Wang Weilun had just finished speaking when he noticed Liu Wentian standing next to Wang Baiyun.
Liu Wentian was sizing up Elder Wang, a faint smile on his face, thinking to himself that it was just as he expected. The elder indeed suffered from complete muscle atrophy. Although he didn’t understand what kind of medicine had been suppressing the illness, such drugs were purely overtaxing Elder Wang’s life force. When his body reached its limit, it would be like a disease falling down like a mountain, and the aftereffects would erupt completely!!
Currently, Elder Wang’s face was pale, his skin slack and dry, his body gaunt as if he was just skin and bones, giving off an extremely stiff impression, with a whiff of death about him—clear signs of an overtaxed life force, coupled with the muscle atrophy!!
However, the smile on Liu Wentian’s face at that moment, when seen by Wang Weilun, only served to infuriate him. He thought it extremely inappropriate that Liu Wentian could still smile in such a situation, showing utter disrespect!!
“Baiyun, is this your friend??” Wang Weilun asked, frowning with clear dissatisfaction.
Wang Baiyun hastily replied, “Dad, this is the doctor I found for grandpa!! His medical skills are extremely impressive. He told me yesterday, with foresight, that grandpa might not live through the night, but if he took action, he could save grandpa’s life. That’s why I brought him here!!”
“He told you yesterday that your grandpa might not live through the night?? And that he could save your grandpa’s life??”
Upon hearing this, Wang Weilun’s expression darkened, and he said angrily, “You believe such nonsense? When did you become so muddled?? How capable could such a young kid be? In my opinion, he’s just here to swindle money!!”
Only he and Elder Wang and Director Luo understood Elder Wang’s illness. How could this young man possibly understand anything? The so-called ‘not living through the night’ but he can save him, is purely nonsensical babbling meant to deceive people!
With this mess before him, he was already frustrated and agitated, and now this charlatan had come here, adding to his irritation!!
“Dad, I—”
Before Wang Baiyun could say anything else, he was cut off by Wang Weilun, who shouted, “Enough!! Have him leave immediately. Elder Gu, the esteemed doctor, will be here soon. I don’t have the time and energy to waste on such a messy, insignificant person!!”
Wang Baiyun, with an awkward expression, understood that once his father had made up his mind, no one but grandpa could change it!!
However, when he heard his father mention Elder Gu, the esteemed doctor, he felt a surge of excitement, “Dad, are you talking about Elder Gu Daosong, the esteemed doctor??”
“Exactly!!”
Wang Baiyun’s face lit up with joy. If that elderly person was coming, then they probably wouldn’t need Liu Wentian here.
Truth be told, he wasn’t all that confident in Liu Wentian’s medical skills either!!
He had asked Liu Wentian on the car ride over, and Liu Wentian had claimed to be a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine, self-taught at that. This made him seriously skeptical of Liu Wentian’s medical skills. A young Chinese medicine practitioner who hadn’t undergone systematic study would inevitably have limited capabilities!!
“Liu Wentian, sorry about this, but perhaps you should leave for now.” Wang Baiyun turned to Liu Wentian, apologetically said.
