Chapter 15 - Really Rich!

At the same time, at Bencao Tang.

Zhao Heng was sitting beside his ailing wife, Su Yueru.

Watching Su Yueru suffer, Zhao Heng’s face was filled with urgency.

He waved his hand, summoning an underling.

“What’s the situation with Xue Sanqiang?

Hasn’t he made a move against the Lin Family yet?”

Zhao Heng was just waiting for Xue Sanqiang to act so he could step in and resolve Zhou Yu’s troubles.

The subordinate bowed and said,

“Sir, we have yet to receive any news of them making a move.”

“Shall I then secretly pressurize Xue Sanqiang, urging them to act sooner?”

“Yes, go ahead.”

Zhao Heng nodded.

The subordinate took the command and left but, in less than a minute, he rushed back in haste.

“Sir, something has happened—Xue Sanqiang is dead.”

Zhao Heng’s expression stiffened, and he stood up.

“Let’s talk outside.”

Once outside the ward, Zhao Heng asked, “What exactly happened?”

The subordinate answered,

“According to the information I’ve received, Xue Sanqiang had his henchman, Hei Gou, intercept Lin Luoluo’s car yesterday afternoon and stage a road accident.

But afterwards, Lin Luoluo was taken away by the police commissioner’s people, and Xue Sanqiang mysteriously died.”

“Now, his position has been taken over by one of his former underlings named Li He.

This Li He deliberately withheld the information, which is why we’ve only just learned of this…”

After listening, a look of shock and suspicion emerged in Zhao Heng’s eyes.

“Xue Sanqiang might not have been aboveboard, but after all, he was a numero uno in Yancheng’s underworld with substantial strength.

How could he have died so silently?

Who could have been behind this?”

“Sir, I’ve already sent people to investigate, we should get news soon.”

Zhao Heng sighed deeply.

“It seems the previous plan isn’t viable anymore.

Quickly, inform Divine Doctor Li and ask him to invite Divine Doctor Zhou here.

I am prepared to apologize to him in person.”

“Okay.”

Zhou Yu was having tea in Engineering Department Four when suddenly, his phone rang.

He pulled out his phone to find a call from Li Shuangshuang.

“Zhou Yu, are you free right now?

Grandpa wants to invite you to Bencao Tang.”

“Is there something the matter?” Zhou Yu asked.

Li Shuangshuang hesitated, then said, “It’s about the Zhao Family again.

Zhao Heng wants to apologize for the prior incident and requests your help with his wife.”

Li Shuangshuang, fearing that Zhou Yu was still angry, quickly added,

“Zhou Yu, grandpa says that adversaries should resolve and not exacerbate conflicts…”

“Shuangshuang, I understand.

I’ll be there soon.”

“That’s great, I’ll come to pick you up.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yu turned to Zheng Qiu and the others.

“I need to step out for a bit due to some personal matters.

Do I need to ask for leave?”

Zheng Qiu shook his head vehemently.

“No, no, of course not.

Go ahead with confidence.

If anything comes up at the company, we’ll cover for you.”

Zhou Yu nodded in satisfaction.

“Then I’ll leave it to you.”

Having said that, he strode out.

When Zhou Yu arrived at Bencao Tang, Zhao Heng and Li De’an were already waiting at the entrance.

The car had just stopped when Zhao Heng hurried over to greet and open the car door for Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu was quite surprised by this gesture.

After all, Zhao Heng’s status was anything but ordinary.

“Divine Doctor Zhou, I must apologize for my impulsiveness last time,” Zhao Heng said, bowing.

“I hope you can forgive my previous behavior and save my wife.”

Zhou Yu spoke indifferently,

“You should apologize to Elder Li.”

“Of course, of course.

I have already apologized to Divine Doctor Li,” Zhao Heng explained.

Li De’an nodded and said,

“That’s right, that’s right.

Mr.

Zhao has indeed apologized.

Zhou Yu, about treating Mrs.

Su’s illness…”

Zhou Yu nodded.

Since the apologies had been made and Li De’an did not mind anymore, he naturally would not dwell on it.

“I’ll take a look.”

Having said that, Zhou Yu strode inside.

Zhou Yu already had a clear understanding of Su Yueru’s illness.

Upon reaching her room, he did not dawdle and began administering acupuncture directly.

Half an hour later, Zhou Yu put away the silver needles.

“All done.”

“In just another minute or two, Mrs.

Su should wake up.”

Zhao Heng came to Su Yueru’s side, tightly holding her hand and caressing her face.

At this moment, Su Yueru’s heart rate had completely normalized.

She appeared rosy and rested, as if asleep, a stark contrast from her previously precarious condition—it was like looking at two different people.

In just over half an hour, a medical miracle had been vividly performed in the sickroom.

Even for worldly men like Zhao Heng and Li De’an, the scene was utterly astonishing.

Just then, Su Yueru slowly opened her eyes.

Zhao Heng quickly asked,

“Yue Ru, you’re awake.

How do you feel?”

Although Su Yueru’s voice was weak, her vitality seemed abundant.

“I feel very good, my body feels light, and there’s no more tightness in my chest.”

“That’s wonderful.”

Zhao Heng, overwhelmed with emotion, shed tears and looked up at Zhou Yu.

“Divine Doctor Zhou, you are truly miraculous.

I don’t know how to thank you enough,” he said as he hastily pulled out a card from his pocket.

“Divine Doctor Zhou, this card has one million in it—a modest token of my appreciation.

I hope you’ll accept it no matter what.”

One million?

Zhou Yu was shocked.

He was used to seeing the villagers counting every penny, where even a hundred yuan note was treasured like gold, hidden away from sight as if it were a precious secret.

All the money in the hands of everyone in the village probably amounted to just a few ten thousand at most.

And now, Zhao Heng was offering a million on the spot.

If the people in the village were to find out, they would be green with envy.

Seeing that Zhou Yu did not reach out to take the card or say anything, Zhao Heng was unsure of what to make of it.

With no other option, he just kept holding his hand out.

Li De’an came to his senses, quickly took the card from Zhao Heng’s hand, and pressed it into Zhou Yu’s.

“Zhou Yu, this money might not be a lot, but it’s Mr.

Zhao’s sincere gesture.

Just accept it,” he said.

One million is not a lot?

It seems they are all wealthy.

Zhou Yu unceremoniously accepted the card.

While the moment was warm, Zhao Heng quickly added,

“Right, Divine Doctor Zhou, ever since my wife fell ill, the atmosphere at home has not been great.”

“Now that my wife has recovered, I plan to hold a celebration in her honor.

If you have the time, Divine Doctor Zhou, I would like to invite you to attend.”
