My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 73: Asking for Your Help



More than twenty hours later.

Gao Fei returned to Southern City and then met Luo Mingshan at a hotel, whom he hadn't seen for many days.

"Mr. Luo, what is so urgent that you had to find me?" Gao Fei asked with perplexity.

"Sit down, let's talk slowly." Luo Mingshan gestured for Gao Fei to sit down, then personally poured him a glass of water, "Mr. Gao, I'm here to ask for your help, to be precise, to seek your help on behalf of a friend."

"Ask for my help?" Gao Fei was startled, "What for?"

"I have an old friend who caught a strange illness. Within just a year, all his hair had fallen out, his face was covered in wrinkles, his body became emaciated, and he would vomit anything he ate. In the end, there was no choice but to sustain his life on nutrient IVs.

Last month, my old friend suddenly started convulsing, foaming at the mouth, and issuing painful howls, as if he had gone mad." Luo Mingshan's face showed a trace of sadness as he continued, "We called a doctor who gave him a sedative, and after that, he fell into a deep sleep. But when he woke up, he continued to have convulsions, scream uncontrollably, and attack those around him...

In the end, we had no choice but to keep giving him sedatives..."

Gao Fei sat on the sofa, listening quietly.

"Mr. Gao, I know your medical skills are exquisite. Could you please take a look at my old friend?" Luo Mingshan looked at Gao Fei with hope.

"Have you found out the cause of the illness?" Gao Fei inquired, knowing that only by identifying the cause could the illness be properly treated.

Luo Mingshan shook his head, "We have never been able to find the cause of the illness." At this point, Luo Mingshan added, "The hospital my friend is staying at is the best in Huaxia, and the doctors treating my friend are the most renowned in Huaxia. They have researched for a long time, yet could not determine the cause of the illness."

"If those renowned doctors can't find the cause of the disease, then I... probably also have no power to help," Gao Fei responded.

"Mr. Gao, you are a remarkable person! Your medical skills are certainly above those doctors. If anyone in this world can save my friend, it's definitely you."

"If those renowned doctors heard what you just said, they would definitely not accept it."

"If they are inferior in skill, what's there to not accept?! Mr. Gao, please, for the sake of my face, help my poor friend."

"It's not that I don't want to help, but..." It wasn't that he didn't want to save someone, but the cost of saving a life was simply too great for him to bear! The last time Gao Fei had treated Luo Mingshan's wife, it had exhausted all of his True Qi, and it took him a long time to recover.

Gao Fei was not cold-hearted, but people die every moment in this world, and he simply couldn't save everyone.

A person's capabilities are ultimately limited.

"Mr. Gao!" Luo Mingshan let out a sigh, "I used to be a Huaxia citizen before I emigrated to Myanmar... When I was living in Huaxia, I made a friend who was two years older than me, and we got along very well. Whenever someone bullied me, he would step forward to help. He was very good at fighting, capable of taking down five or six people by himself.

Once, when I was shopping at a mall, I encountered a thief who wanted to steal from me. I refused to give him my money, and then he tried to stab me with a dagger. The first stab hit my arm, tearing my clothes and causing blood to flow. The second stab was aimed at my heart, and at that moment, I thought I was going to die...

In that critical moment, my friend appeared and shielded me with his body from the dagger, and I survived while he was wounded... Later, the doctors told me that the dagger had penetrated my friend's lung, and it was a miracle that he survived."

"After he was discharged from the hospital, I told him that I owed him my life and would definitely repay him someday. Later, we went our separate ways, I emigrated to Myanmar, and he directly joined the military. Since then, we lost contact... Until a week ago, when I managed to get his contact information.

When I reached out to him, I learned that this old friend had contracted a strange disease, and his life was no longer promising. At that moment, I thought of Mr. Gao, now you're the only one who can save him..." As he spoke, Luo Mingshan added another sentence, "As soon as my friend joined the military, he went to war with the main force, fought bravely, and earned numerous military achievements...

He is a hero! A great hero! If he were to die, it would be a tremendous loss to the nation, to the people."

"This friend you're talking about is?" Gao Fei asked.

"Lu Pingguan." Luo Mingshan mentioned a name.

"That name sounds familiar; I seem to have heard it somewhere... Oh, I remember now..." Gao Fei raised an eyebrow, "He was quite an important figure in the past! No wonder you call him a hero; indeed, he is a hero! A hero of the nation! He's truly worthy of respect!"

"Mr. Gao, you..." Luo Mingshan was about to speak but was interrupted by Gao Fei.

"Alright, I agree to your request." Gao Fei nodded, "Over the years, Elder Lu has done many good deeds, helped many people, it's not an overstatement to say that he's a great kind person... I'll accompany you to have a look at Elder Lu, but I can't guarantee that I will be able to cure his illness." Gao Fei had heard of Lu Pingguan when he was very young and had even seen him on television.

He truly admired Lu Pingguan from the bottom of his heart.

"Mr. Gao, thank you, thank you so much," Luo Mingshan was visibly excited.

...

That very afternoon, the two of them took a plane to the capital.

Southern City was very far from the capital, and by car, it would take at least several days to arrive. Hence, flying was more convenient.

Capital City was bustling with high-rise buildings everywhere, expensive cars could be seen at all times, and pedestrians were dressed in fashionable attire.

Living in a metropolis had its pros and cons; the advantages were the abundance of opportunities and the potential to earn more money, but the downsides were the high cost of living and the rapid pace of life. Without a certain level of endurance and financial means, one couldn't survive.

Every year, a large number of people flooded into Capital City, commonly referred to as "North Drifters." Through this term, one could imagine how difficult life was for these people in Capital City.

As the airplane landed at Capital City Airport, night had fallen, and rows of streetlights were lit, casting the city in a beautiful, gentle glow.

"Screech!"

A black stretch limousine stopped in front of Gao Fei and Luo Mingshan. The car door opened, and a young man stepped out. In his twenties, with a buzz cut, a broad square face, raised brows, he was wearing a brandless piece of clothing and shiny leather shoes. He looked somewhat casual, yet he exuded an imposing aura.

"Lu Hao, this is the miracle doctor I've invited, his name is Gao Fei... This young man is my old friend's grandson, his name is Lu Hao," Luo Mingshan introduced the two.

"Hello," Gao Fei nodded to Lu Hao.

"You're a miracle doctor?" Lu Hao scrutinized Gao Fei with skepticism, "Grandpa Luo, you must be mistaken, right? How can someone like him be a miracle doctor?" In Lu Hao's mind, those who were deemed miracle doctors were usually old men with an aura of immortality. The man before him, Gao Fei, was too young—outrageously so.

Even if Gao Fei had started studying medicine from the womb, it would only amount to a little over twenty years. How accomplished could he be?

One should know that the art of medicine is profound and intricate; some spend their whole lives studying it and only grasp the superficial aspects.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Luo Mingshan glared at Lu Hao, "Mr. Gao has very strong medical skills." As he said this, Luo Mingshan added, "Don't be fooled by Mr. Gao's youth; he's very capable."

"How capable can he be?" Lu Hao curled his lips, "I've been feeling unwell lately. Let this miracle doctor check me and see what the problem is?" Clearly, Lu Hao was trying to test Gao Fei.

The corners of Gao Fei's mouth curled up slightly, "Since you don't believe in me, then I'll just go back." Having said that, Gao Fei turned and started walking towards the airport.

"Mr. Gao, please wait," Luo Mingshan hurriedly grabbed Gao Fei, then glared at Lu Hao puffing his cheeks, "Can you stop messing around! If you really anger Mr. Gao away, who will treat your grandfather's illness?

Do you want to watch your grandfather continue to suffer in pain!" By the end of his words, Luo Mingshan was nearly shouting, extremely angry, to the point where he wanted to give Lu Hao a good thrashing.

Short-sighted fool!

To measure someone's knowledge by their age is simply foolish. Don't you know that there is such a thing as "geniuses" in this world?

Gao Fei is a genius!

Luo Mingshan's wife had been in a vegetative state for many years, even ceased to breathe. In the end, Gao Fei revived her and now she could even walk around the bed. What did this indicate? It demonstrated that Gao Fei was indeed a miracle doctor!

"I was just joking around. Who knew he'd take it seriously," Lu Hao snorted, "Let's go, I'll take you to see my grandfather right now." Lu Hao respected Luo Mingshan to a certain extent—after all, Luo Mingshan was his grandfather's close friend.

"Mr. Gao, please, on my account, do not take offense at his words," Luo Mingshan pleaded earnestly, tugging at Gao Fei's hand, afraid he would walk away.

Gao Fei glanced at Luo Mingshan and finally got into the car.

"Vroom..."

Lu Hao stepped on the gas, and the stretch limousine sped away.

Throughout the journey, Lu Hao ignored Gao Fei, and Gao Fei likewise ignored Lu Hao. In Gao Fei's eyes, Lu Hao was nothing but an educated but worthless second-generation heir, not worth his attention.

To tell the truth, Lu Hao didn't believe at all that Gao Fei could cure his grandfather's illness. If it hadn't been for Luo Mingshan's sake, he would've sent Gao Fei packing long ago. Over the years, many quacks came claiming they could cure all diseases, only to fail in treating his grandfather and run off with a lot of money instead.

After being taken advantage of several times, Lu Hao's attitude had changed.

Clearly, Lu Hao regarded Gao Fei as just another quack out to swindle money.

Feeling the atmosphere in the car was a bit tense, Luo Mingshan intentionally brought up some topics to lighten the mood, such as famous sights in Capital City, some interesting stories he had witnessed, and he even talked with Gao Fei about jade.

Thanks to Luo Mingshan's efforts, the atmosphere inside the car improved slightly.
