NOVEL NEXT Chapter 333 Impossible!
Li Chenggong sighed softly and said, "It's a pity. Medicine King Lei's whereabouts are uncertain, and in recent years, I've heard he's slowly retiring from Jianghu. It's genuinely difficult to ask him to make a move."
Guan Wenzhi smiled and said, "To be honest, my master is actually here in Huadu."
"Really?!" Li Chenggong exclaimed in surprise. If Lei Qianjue was really in Huadu, that would be fantastic!
Having him intervene would be much more reliable than Xu Hao's assistance!
After all, a person's reputation precedes them; Lei Qianjue's reputation alone is legendary.
His divine medical skills had cured countless patients. He had thought about asking Lei Qianjue for help before, but the doctors in Hongkong strongly advised against it, criticising traditional Chinese medicine as unscientific, unsafe, and ineffective. While albinism is a lifelong condition, it ultimately doesn't cause serious health problems; however, if there were issues with the herbs, that could spell trouble.
Therefore, Li Chenggong had never resolved to ask for Lei Qianjue's help.
But now that he had come to Huadu and knew Lei Qianjue was here, he was determined to give it a try.
Guan Wenzhi confidently said, "Of course, my master's whereabouts are uncertain, but as long as he isn't intentionally hiding, we disciples can still find out a thing or two. I'll invite my master right away."
"I would truly be very grateful to Mr. Guan! Rest assured, Mr. Guan, whether your master, Medicine King Lei, can cure Niuniu or not, I will fully cover your and his consultation fees!" Li Chenggong said very sincerely.
Guan Wenzhi nodded slightly. The consultation fee Li Chenggong offered was indeed very high, but he, being highly skilled in medicine, did not care much about the fee; what mattered more to him was that the patient's illness could be treated.
Meanwhile, Niuniu, who had been silent throughout, slightly raised her head after they left, and a dismissive look flickered through her eyes, cloudy as though belonging to an old person nearing the end of life.
Li Chenggong personally opened the door for him, and Li Chenggong and Lady Li escorted Guan Wenzhi out to the exterior of the villa.
Guan Wenzhi cupped his fists towards them, ready to leave to find Lei Qianjue.
However, just then, a fiery red Ferrari came speeding in and abruptly pulled up by the roadside.
Guan Wenzhi frowned slightly, wondering why the owner drove the car so fast, but he didn't say anything and was still prepared to leave.
At that moment, Xu Hao stepped down from the car, holding a large bag of traditional Chinese medicine, and smiled at Li Chenggong and his wife, "I went to another place this morning and arrived a bit late. I ask Old Mr. Li for his understanding."
The faces of Old Mr. Li and his wife turned slightly awkward. Guan Wenzhi had not yet left, and Xu Hao had already arrived. If Xu Hao knew that they were seeking treatment from someone else, Xu Hao might feel upset.
Li Chenggong cleared his throat and smilingly said, "What are you talking about, Xu Xiao You? I thought you wouldn't be able to come for another few days, especially since Niuniu's illness is not an ordinary disease. We understand it's basically incurable, but what we didn't expect was that you would prepare the medicine overnight. Regardless of whether the medicine works, I am touched by Xu Xiao You's dedication!"
Li Chenggong, a person of high status, naturally understood that being upfront was better than beating around the bush. Being intelligent people, everyone knew he had his reasons for doing so.
Hearing Li Chenggong's words, Guan Wenzhi immediately stopped in his tracks, and he sized up Xu Hao thoroughly. Besides seeing the large bag of traditional Chinese medicine in Xu Hao's hand, he could hardly tell that Xu Hao was a doctor. The more he looked, the more Xu Hao seemed like a mere delivery man.
But, Li Chenggong had just said that these herbs were prepared by this young man named Xu Hao!
Could these herbs be effective?
Niuniu suffered from a genetic disease, albinism, a global challenge. He had returned to seek his master's help merely as a temporary solution. He clearly understood that even if his master, Lei Qianjue, personally intervened, it was highly unlikely to cure the condition.
Guan Wenzhi mentally placed a question mark, and simply stood still, quietly waiting for what would happen next.
Xu Hao smiled and said, "Old Mr. Li is worrying too much. I have said I will cure her, and I absolutely will not go back on my word. The medicine in here has been pre-packaged into small bags. One bag can be brewed three times, with one dose taken daily. Within a month, Niuniu's condition will noticeably improve, and within three months, she will definitely be healthy."
"Impossible!"
Guan Wenzhi immediately became agitated. What Xu Hao described was, in his view, utterly nonsensical!
Being a student of traditional Chinese medicine himself, he knew what diseases traditional Chinese medicine could treat—generally, those related to bodily organs or blood issues could be addressed by traditional Chinese medicine.
But albinism involves genetics, a domain of genetics—traditional Chinese medicine definitely cannot handle it. His hope in Medicine King Lei stemmed from Lei knowing some ancient Mystic Techniques that might achieve a cure.
Merely relying on his own medical skills, he had no confidence whatsoever.
Xu Hao turned to him and asked, "Who is this?"
He could tell this person was a doctor, and a traditional Chinese medicine doctor at that, because his medicine box emitted a faint scent of traditional Chinese medicine herbs.
