Lu Changkong was engaged in an internal struggle. After a long while, he finally nodded.
"Alright, since Grandpa is lucid, I'll go and talk to him!
Director Wu, we can't explain the details of the treatment clearly. Could you please accompany me to see my grandfather and explain it to him!"
"Alright, let's go!"
Everyone put on their protective suits, and Director Wu, along with the Lu family uncle and nephew, entered the ICU ward.
When Old Master Lu lifted his eyelids and saw Lu Changkong, his face immediately fell.
"Third son, how many times have I told you? Even though you're retired now, your responsibilities are still heavy. Don't waste your time on this old man. Why don't you ever listen!"
"Dad, I..." Lu Changkong's voice was choked with emotion, unsure how to respond.
Just then, Lu Weiguo stepped forward.
"Grandpa, it's like this. Today, Uncle Xuanyuan recommended a divine doctor to you. This divine doctor is from the lineage of the Medical Saint.
He diagnosed you and proposed a treatment method. However, this doctor is quite young, and his proposed method is rather bizarre, seemingly unverifiable by modern medicine...
The hospital is currently unsure how to proceed, and we plan to hear your suggestion."
"Alas, that Xuanyuan Jie is thoughtful. It's really not necessary. This old man has lived for so long, and I've had my fill. I can also feel that my days are numbered. Don't waste money or national resources on me..."
"Grandpa, you can't say that. My wife has been pregnant for several months, and aren't you waiting to hold your great-grandson? You can't give up.
Think about how many dangers you faced on the battlefield, and you didn't give up. Are you afraid of illness now!"
"You're quite eloquent, my boy..." The old man looked at Lu Weiguo with satisfaction.
At this moment, Lu Weiguo turned to Director Wu and said, "Director Wu, please explain the doctor's treatment plan to my grandfather."
Director Wu nodded, organized his thoughts, and told the old man everything about Ling Tian's diagnosis and the proposed treatment plan, especially the price.
Unexpectedly, the old man burst into laughter after listening.
"You all, what is there to debate? This old man is already like this. I don't have many days left to live anyway. Living one more day is a blessing from heaven.
If this young man can let me live for a year, even if it requires a gamble, it's worth it. What are you hesitating for!
Let him come. I'll entrust this old life of mine to him and let him do as he pleases!
Of course, I must say one thing upfront. Regardless of whether he can save me or not, even if I die on the operating table, it has nothing to do with him. You cannot trouble him!"
"Dad, this is too risky..."
"You don't understand anything. This is called putting yourself in a desperate situation to find a way to survive. How many times in my life have I been in a desperate situation on the battlefield!
If I hadn't gritted my teeth and fought to the death, I would have met Marx by now!
How many times have I taught you that no matter how dangerous the situation, as long as you face it bravely and charge forward, you will definitely find a way to survive!
But if you give up resisting, lie down where you are, you will only die!" The old man became somewhat excited as he spoke, and even the medical instruments began to alarm. Director Wu quickly signaled Lu Sanye to stop talking and calm the old man down.
"Director Wu, please arrange for that young master to treat me. I believe in him!"
"Alright, elder. I will contact him now and strive to have the treatment for you tomorrow."
"What time is it now? It's the middle of the night. Why bother him now? Let's call him tomorrow morning. It won't make a difference by a day or two!"
Director Wu could only nod in agreement.
"Um, elder, before the treatment, since you seem lucid, do you have anything you want to say to your family..."
Director Wu said this with some trepidation, as it was truly uncertain whether Ling Tian could cure the old man's illness.
"What else is there to say? I've already told them everything I needed to. What's there to fear about death? A bird flies towards the sky when it dies. I've lived enough. It's time to reunite with my comrades!"
Seeing that the old man was so spirited, Director Wu could only leave the ICU ward with a wry smile, inform the doctors of the old man's decision, and then quickly call Ling Tian.
When Deputy Team Leader Su Deshang heard this news, his expression turned very unpleasant. He had been running around and doing so much work to prevent Ling Tian from treating the old man, but now he had become a laughingstock.
Although it was already past midnight, Ling Tian was still awake when he received the call. He had been on the phone, contacting his friends, trying to uncover the truth behind the Ice Sky Pharmaceutical matter.
Although Gao Lujie believed he had covered his tracks flawlessly, Ling Tian, through the Misty Rain Pavilion, had gathered various clues, ultimately pointing towards the Gao family in the capital.
And this Young Master Gao Lujie, who had been amassing wealth for the Gao family, had also entered Ling Tian's sights.
Therefore, Ling Tian began calling his friends, seeking their advice on one hand, and inquiring about the Gao family's background on the other.
The results were shocking. His fifth master, Gu Tianxi, directly told Ling Tian that the Gao family's power was immense. Even his Tianxi Group had no standing to speak in front of the Gao family.
Ling Tian then called Xuanyuan Jie. Xuanyuan Jie told Ling Tian that there were not many families in China who could disregard the Xuanyuan family's face, but the Gao family was precisely one of them.
Xuanyuan Jie stated that he could only do his best to help and see if he could find the whereabouts of Wang Qing Tian and Wang Bing Xia. As for whether he could rescue them, Xuanyuan Jie was not confident!
Ling Tian was somewhat angered. Although the Gao family was influential, Ling Tian was unwilling to be bullied like this.
He had already made up his mind that if the issue could not be resolved through negotiation and mediation, he would have to use his own methods to solve it!
These methods included, but were not limited to, the use of violence.
Just then, Ling Tian received a call from Director Wu of the 704 Hospital. Hearing that Old Master Lu had accepted his treatment plan, Ling Tian was also very happy. Thus, he entered the spiritual realm space and began preparing for the next day's treatment.
At exactly 8 AM the next day, a car with a special pass appeared at the hotel entrance. Ling Tian got into the car and found that Xuanyuan Jie and Lu Weiguo had personally come to pick him up. Ling Tian felt flattered, seeing that the Lu family's sincerity was full.
