The Strongest Mad Son-in-law

The doctors and nurses all held Lei Qianjue in high regard.

Even You Yaozong, the most famous trauma surgeon in Huadu, could only keep Zhou Changcun alive for less than a month.

Curious, Zhou An asked from the side, "Medicine King Lei, did you just say you had another master?"

"Yes, that's correct!"

Lei Qianjue said with a hint of nostalgia, "My master is a peerless legend. The diseases I cannot cure are like child's play to him, easily remedied. Unfortunately, my master is not here now. Otherwise, if he took action, the Zhou family Patriarch would definitely be cured!"

"Is it really that miraculous?" Zhou Jiandong couldn't help but ask.

The richer people are, the more they fear death. Although Zhou Jiandong was somewhat skeptical about the "complete cure," Lei Qianjue's master must be even more powerful than Lei Qianjue himself. If it was possible to get to know such a Divine Doctor, that would also be planning ahead for himself.

"Of course! The wonders of my master are plenty." Lei Qianjue briefly mentioned the incident where Xu Hao had saved Elder Jiang, but he did not mention Xu Hao's name.

"To be able to effortlessly break the sorcery of the sorcerers from Miaojiang is truly impressive! It's only right that a skilled master would have such an accomplished disciple! But why haven't we heard of your having another master before?" Zhou Jiandong asked.

Lei Qianjue spoke slowly, "When three people walk together, my master is among them."

Zhou Jiandong and Zhou An exchanged glances and suddenly understood.

This phrase comes from "The Analects of Confucius," meaning that among several people who walk together, there is sure to be my teacher.

The next line is "Choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones."

The bad ones, that is, the wicked, since Confucius emphasized that once a teacher, always a Father, so the teacher here does not refer to a schoolteacher, but rather refers to "imitating," or, to be precise, a reference for learning.

Therefore, those people do not necessarily have to be better than you.

So, they understood that this referred to a master whom Lei Qianjue had recognized later in life.

The master was indeed powerful but only in certain areas, such as treating patients who had been afflicted with sorcery. In reality, Lei Qianjue's statement was an act of modesty, but Zhou Jiandong and the others read too much into the meaning behind his words.

Lei Qianjue said, "Since that is the case, without further delay, let me begin treating the Zhou family Patriarch. But as to how much I can cure, even I am not completely sure."

Zhou Jiandong laughed and said, "Having Elder Lei take action is already great news, as for how much can be cured, it's all about doing our humanly best and leaving the rest to fate. I believe my elder brother won't blame Elder Lei." Lei Qianjue nodded slightly.

He asked the nurses to slowly unwrap the white cloth around Zhou Changcun's body, and when he saw the flesh that had started to rot, he felt a chill down his spine.

This was a task only he dared to undertake; if it were anyone else, they might have walked away by now, for Zhou Changcun could be said to be beyond help.

He took out a bottle of medicine from his medical box and said, "The Zhou family Patriarch's flesh has begun to rot. This is a medicine I've been developing for years, specifically designed to treat rotten flesh. But as you all understand, such decay is nearly irreversible, so I can only delay the progression of the rot.

Originally, the flesh of the Zhou family Patriarch would have almost entirely decayed within a month, leading to his demise. However, with my medicine, his life can be extended by up to three years. This is why I previously mentioned that the Zhou family Patriarch could live for another three years."

Hearing what Lei Qianjue said, everyone marveled at the magic of his medical skills and the depth of his research into medicines.

You Yaozong, who is a returnee doctor with years of advanced studies in America, could only save Zhou Changcun after arriving at Huadu First Hospital and working specifically with dermatology. Yet he couldn't control the follow-up issues. As soon as Lei Qianjue took charge, he managed to extend the life of Zhou Changcun, who initially had only a month left, to three whole years!

Lei Qianjue took out the medicine and was just about to apply it to Zhou Changcun when the door to Zhou Changcun's room was suddenly pushed open.

It was Xu Hao and You Yaozong!

A young man with a face like a bitter gourd said to Zhou Jiandong, "Second Master Zhou, these two insisted on barging in, I couldn't stop them."

Although Zhou Jiandong had never met Xu Hao, he was familiar with Xu Hao's features, given that it hadn't been too long since Xu Hao had caused a stir in Huadu.

He stood up and said, "Director You, Xu Hao, what are you two doing here?"

He glanced at You Yaozong, feeling somewhat annoyed inside that You had managed to save Zhou Changcun. However, what he was even more wary of at this moment was Xu Hao.

After all, Xu Hao's formidable personal strength was evident, and if Xu Hao were to lose control at this moment, there was nobody here who could stop him.

Lei Qianjue, upon seeing Xu Hao as well, immediately put down the medicine in his hands, his expression one of immense excitement.

As Xu Hao's nominal disciple, he had only seen Xu Hao take action once, and so, he was eager to see Xu Hao do so again.

You Yaozong, though he saw Lei Qianjue, did not recognize him, but said to Zhou Jiandong, "Second Master Zhou, this is the Divine Doctor I have invited to treat the Zhou family Patriarch. I presume you would not intentionally block him, would you?"
