"I'm dead? Am I really dead?" The ghost was in immense pain. He looked at his daughter beside him, his eyes filled with guilt and reluctance.
"Because of you, her body is very weak now. If you are still unwilling to leave, you will only harm her!" Li Se said in a deep voice.
"Can you… save her?" the ghost pleaded.
"Yes, I am a doctor!" Li Se nodded.
"Thank you!" The ghost glanced at the woman beside him one last time before vanishing.
Li Se hadn't spoken aloud; he had communicated with the ghost through spiritual energy. Therefore, no one around knew that he had sat down in the middle, taken out paper and pen from his bag, written a prescription, handed it to the woman, and said, "Take this prescription for a week, and you will be cured."
The woman found it a bit strange but took the prescription and nodded, "Thank you."
It was unclear if she was thanking him for the prescription or for Li Se voluntarily switching seats with the man, or perhaps for both.
The high-speed train soon arrived at Qingyun City. Li Se sent Jiang Ranran and Jiang Dashan back. Just as he was about to leave, he received a call from Shen Long.
"Doctor Li, could you do me a favor?" Shen Long's voice came through the phone after it was answered.
"Treat an illness?" Li Se guessed immediately. Shen Long asking for his help was likely related to treating an illness.
"Yes, an investor from abroad has come. This investor's background is quite unusual, but he has some physical problems. So, I'd like to ask you to help treat him," Shen Long said truthfully.
"Mr. Shen, you want to discuss business with this investor?" Li Se immediately guessed something.
Shen Long replied, "That's right. The investor's family is vast and financially strong. For a businessman like me, he is naturally the best partner. If the deal can be made, my business will reach new heights."
When Shen Long and Li Se first met, there were some conflicts, but so much time had passed, and Li Se wasn't one to hold grudges. Their conflict had long since been resolved.
"Alright!" Li Se agreed quite readily.
"Where are you? I'll come pick you up right away!" Shen Long said quickly.
After Li Se told him his location, and waited for about ten minutes, Shen Long arrived by car.
"You drove here yourself to pick me up?" Li Se was a bit surprised.
Shen Long smiled, "Because you are a divine doctor. Even great figures like General Xiao hold you in high regard."
Li Se didn't say much and quickly got into the car. With Shen Long's status, it wouldn't be difficult for him to inquire about Li Se's relationship with Xiao Zhanguo.
In the car, Shen Long's expression became serious. "This foreign investor also has renowned doctors with him. Although they are not imperial physicians, they are no less skilled than our Hua Xia imperial physicians. However, they are all helpless. I believe the only person who can cure him is the divine doctor Li."
"Because I'm the one you invited, after he's cured, the investor will naturally thank you, and then you'll surely cooperate, right?" Li Se said with a half-smile.
Shen Long looked a bit embarrassed. "That's indeed the case. If I can cooperate with him, it will bring considerable benefits. Doctor Li, I know you are not someone who values money, so the consultation fee is not very significant. But if you say the word, I, Shen Long, will spare no effort."
Soon, the car stopped in front of a luxurious Western-style house.
Li Se glanced at the house and raised an eyebrow. These wealthy people were truly different. Even if they didn't live here, they would get a villa or a Western-style house to stay in when they visited. In contrast, General Xiao was rather low-key, staying in a hotel when he came to Qingyun City.
"Who are you?"
Just as they were about to enter the house, a man in a suit immediately stopped Li Se and Shen Long.
This man in a suit was the investor's assistant, Hu Hao, who was Chinese.
"Shen Long." Shen Long handed over a business card. "I want to see Mr. Kevin."
Hu Hao glanced at the business card and was momentarily surprised. It was the richest man in Qingyun City. However, he didn't take it too seriously. Although Shen Long was the richest man in Qingyun City, there was still a gap compared to his boss, Kevin. He said lightly, "Mr. Kevin is currently receiving treatment. You should go back first."
"Assistant Hu, I've brought a doctor. With his medical skills, he can definitely cure Mr. Kevin," Shen Long said politely.
Only then did Hu Hao notice Li Se, and his face immediately showed disdain. "Him? He can be a doctor? Mr. Shen, are you joking with me? At this age, can he even be a doctor? I think he's an intern. Hurry up and leave. We've already invited the best doctors in Qingyun City, and we don't need anyone else. If there's really a need, we'll invite Hua Xia's imperial physicians. Now, please leave."
His attitude was extremely dismissive, even showing disdain towards Shen Long.
A mere richest man in Qingyun City, he didn't need to pay him any attention at all.
Shen Long frowned. "Doctor Li's medical skills are truly excellent. If you let me take him to see Mr. Kevin, then you can witness how good Doctor Li's skills are."
Hu Hao smiled, his smile still laced with mockery. He looked at Li Se and said, "Do you have a medical practice certificate? Which hospital are you practicing at now?"
"I have a medical practice certificate, but I am not currently employed at a hospital," Li Se shook his head.
"Nonsense!" Hu Hao shouted coldly. "You're not even a hospital doctor, so why should I believe you? Hurry up and get out. Mr. Kevin doesn't have time to see you now!"
"I study Traditional Chinese Medicine!" Li Se suppressed his anger.
"Traditional Chinese Medicine?" Hu Hao became even more displeased. He immediately turned to Shen Long. "You're looking for a TCM practitioner to treat Mr. Shen? Are you trying to harm Mr. Kevin? Hurry up and get out. Also, Mr. Shen, I know what your intentions are, but I want to tell you now that none of your projects should be brought over. Mr. Kevin will not cooperate with you. I'm telling you!"
Shen Long was, after all, the richest man in Qingyun City. He had already lowered his stance sufficiently, but this Hu Hao was exceedingly arrogant. He was naturally quite angry and said coldly, "Assistant Hu, ultimately, you are just an assistant. What right do you have to make decisions for Mr. Kevin?"
Hearing this, Hu Hao was about to get angry, but before he could speak, Shen Long continued, "Do your job as an assistant. I brought a doctor, and you just need to go in and report. As for whether Mr. Kevin sees me, that is for him to decide, not for you, an assistant, to make unauthorized decisions!"
Hu Hao's face turned ugly. The status of an assistant was actually quite ordinary, but it depended on what kind of assistant. He was Mr. Kevin's assistant, so his status naturally rose accordingly. It was like the secretary of a municipal leader; their status was not the same as the secretary of an ordinary company CEO.
"Shen Long, is it!"
Hu Hao's face was gloomy, and he said word by word, "As long as I'm here, you won't get to Mr. Kevin. I'm telling you!"
