‘I’ll get to learn something new again!’ He thought expectantly.
Tang Hao looked at the people crowded around the door and waved his hands. “The rest of you… you should go out!”
“Let’s go! Go out quickly!” He Changsun said while following the other people out of the room.
“Doctor Tang… may I stay?” Senior Doctor Chen said softly.
Tang Hao smiled when he saw the senior doctor being cautious. “You can stay if you want!”
“Alright! Thank you, Doctor Tang!” Senior Doctor Chen said while retreating to a corner.
Very soon, only the two remained in the room.
Tang Hao opened his backpack and retrieved a small black box. Of course, the box was stored in the pocket dimension. The backpack was just a disguise.
In the box was a set of one hundred and eight golden needles. They were custom made.
After placing the box on the table, Tang Hao went to the bed, lifted the blanket, and took off Old Master He’s clothes.
The cerebral hemorrhage was already contained, so the biggest danger that threatened Old Master He’s life was the multiple organ failures. Tang Hao’s first step was to eliminate the dangers.
He first activated Old Master He’s meridian points with the qi from his body to alleviate the situation.
When that was done, Tang Hao prepared to insert the needles.
Each golden needle was quickly and accurately inserted into the body’s meridian points, then gently twisted. Very soon, Old Master He’s body was covered with golden needles.
Then, Tang Hao gently rubbed the needles and channeled qi from his body to repair Old Master He’s failed organs.
At the Old Master’s age, it was impossible to completely repair the organs, though it was enough to extend his life.
The procedure took two hours in total.
Old Master He’s condition improved tremendously.
Tang Hao did another thorough examination, then breathed a sigh of relief.
He then plucked out the golden needles one by one, then covered Old Master He’s body with a blanket.
The readings on the medical apparatus returned to normal.
Senior Doctor Chen had a stupendous expression as he witnessed all that. He could see the effects of Doctor Tang’s treatment from the readings on the apparatus.
As the treatment started, the vital signs stopped falling as the organ failures were halted. Then, the readings started to turn around and his condition started to improve.
The entire procedure was nothing short of a miracle!
He could not believe that mere acupuncture could achieve such amazing results.
“What incredible skills! No, those are divine skills!” Senior Doctor Chen exclaimed while watching with amazement.
Tang Hao rested for a while, then placed nine needles in Old Master He’s cranium, forcing the remaining clotted blood out of the brain.
The procedure was finally complete!
“I’m done!” Tang Hao exhaled heavily after returning the golden needles into the box.
The door was opened. Members of the He family crowded around the door. They all looked nervous and worried.
“How is it, Divine Doctor?” He Changshun asked as he squeezed past the crowd.
Tang Hao grinned. “Don’t worry, the procedure went fine.”
“He’s fine now. His life is saved!” Senior Doctor Chen said.
He Changshun breathed a sigh of relief, as though a heavy burden was lifted from his shoulders.
“That’s amazing! That’s amazing! Oh, Divine Doctor! Thank you so much!” He passionately grabbed Tang Hao’s hands and was so excited that he could not speak in complete sentences.
“He’s a true divine doctor!”
“He looks so young, but yet his medical skills are incredible. He has the makings of a hero!” The He family members exclaimed with happiness and admiration on their faces.
Then, the people poured into the room to look at Old Master He.
“Old Master He’s condition is stable now. He should regain consciousness soon. You’ll have to remind him that he needs to take care of his body so that he’ll live longer,” Tang Hao said.
“Divine Doctor, how long… does my father have?” He Changshun asked.
“Three years maximum! I won’t be able to do anything after that!” Tang Hao replied.
“Three years! That’s already enough! Just wait a moment, Divine Doctor, I’ll transfer some money to your account.”
“There’s no need! I’m here today because of Secretary Lin’s invitation. It would be rude of me to collect payment!” Tang Hao shook his head hastily.
“Are you sure? No, definitely not! You’ve saved my father. This is an immense favor that I have to repay somehow,” He Changshun insisted.
“Just take the money, Lil Tang! As for you, Deputy Governor He, just give him a little token of appreciation,” Secretary Lin walked over and suggested with a smile.
“Alright then, just a small token would do, say, ten or twenty thousand yuan,” Tang Hao said.
“Ten or twenty thousand? That’s too little! It needs to be at least fifty thousand!”
“It’s fine. I’ll just take twenty thousand then!” Tang Hao said.
Tang Hao was not bothered by that small amount of money.
What he treasured was the connection to the He family. Being acquainted with the Deputy Governor of the province could be useful.
He Changshun could not convince him to take more money, and therefore transferred him twenty thousand yuan as a symbolic gesture.
The He family members pulled Tang Hao around and thanked him profusely.
It was already just past noon. The group of people went to a restaurant near the hospital to have lunch.
During the meal, Secretary Lin told He Changshun about Tang Hao’s recent project.
“You’re a young achiever, Lil Bro Tang! Jianjun, you ought to fully support Lil Bro Tang’s ambition!” He Changshun said heartily.
“Of course!” Secretary Lin replied.
Then, He Changshun furrowed his brows. “Lil Bro Tang, it’s a pity that a young achiever like you isn’t a college graduate.”
“Yes!” Secretary Lin agreed.
“It’s fine!” Tang Hao said.
“I can help you if you have the desire to be enrolled in a college. That’s the least I can do to help you. Don’t worry, you can pick whichever college in the province.”
“Well…” Tang Hao hesitated.
It was indeed one of the biggest regrets of his life that he did not go to college.
He thought about it, then shook his head. “Maybe we can talk about that some other time. I’m setting up my factory now, and I don’t have the time!”
“That’s true! We’ll talk about that later!” He Changshun said.
Tang Hao parted ways with them after lunch and returned to Celestial Foothill Gardens.
Chapter 97 - : Are You A Ghost?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The night sky was as dark as ink.
In the city center, at the edge of the rooftop of a hundred-meter-tall building, a figure stood as still as a statue.
His feet teetered on the edge, one step away from a hundred-meter drop. Cars shuttled back and forth along the street below him.
The figure’s eyes were closed, carefully discerning the countless sources of chaotic noises around him.
The sounds came from all directions, from all corners of the city.
The city was only a county seat, though it was of a decent size. When the voices of all the citizens gathered together, it became a mighty flood of sound.
Tang Hao concentrated on listening for a while, then he furrowed his brows. He opened his eyes to break out of the trance.
He was practicing a spell called Heaven Eye and Earth Ear. To put it simply, it enhanced the practitioner’s senses of sight and hearing, allowing them to see and hear thi
ngs from very far away.
He rested for a while, then returned to the trance.
He went to the rooftop of that building every night to practice the spell.
Suddenly, amid the countless chaotic noises, he caught a hint of someone calling for help.
“Hm?” He immediately became alert.
“What… What are you doing?” It was the feminine sound of a woman. It carried a hint of panic and urgency.
“Help! Help!” She was yelling with all his might.
“Heheh! Isn’t it obvious what we want to do? Stop yelling, beautiful lady, there’s no one around here. No one will come and save you even if you yell yourself hoarse!”
“Yeah, stop wasting your energy.”
He heard the voices of some hooligans.
“Dammit, this girl is pretty amazing! She’s so pretty! If I’m arrested after this, it’ll be worth it!”
“Those legs… they’ll satisfy me for the next ten years, no, the next twenty years!”
Sounds of gulping were heard along with the conversation.
“Don’t… Don’t come any closer!” The woman sounded more and more panicked.
Tang Hao frowned when he heard that.
He had encountered several crimes in the past few days. It was not always like that; there were some snatch theft and robbery cases too.
The crime rate of Westridge District was considered low, though crimes still happened rather frequently. Wherever people were, there would be crime.
Tang Hao’s principles for crime fighting were simple. He would not actively seek crimes to stop, but if he encountered a crime in progress, he could not ignore it.
He discerned the direction of the sound, then leaped from building to building toward it.
In half a minute, he arrived at a building rooftop nearby.
He looked down and could see that a few hooligans were surrounding a woman in an alley. He could not see the woman’s face clearly from that angle.
What he could see was that she had a voluptuous body. She was tall with long, fair, and alluring legs.
She was stuck in a corner.
The hooligans smiled pervertedly, swallowing saliva continuously as their eyes examined the woman’s body.
“What’s your name, beautiful lady? Come play with us tonight! We’ll make sure you’ll come back for more!” One of the hooligans smiled. He walked forward and lifted the woman’s chin with a hand.
“Pah! You’re shameless!” The woman angrily spat on his face.
“Oh, you’re still trying to protect your chastity! But I like your type! Heheh!” The hooligan reached for her breasts as he spoke.
The woman retreated. She clutched her handbag to protect her chest. Her eyes were filled with despair as she looked at the hooligans in front of her.
The hooligans laughed when they saw her sorry state.
“Stop!”
Suddenly, a low roar was heard from behind them.
The group of hooligans was surprised, then they were angry.
“Dammit, which bastard is that? Mind your own business!” The leader of the hooligans turned around and cursed.
He turned his head toward the source of the sound and was dumbstruck. Not far away from them, a silhouette stood in a dark corner where the street lights could not shine at.
“Dammit, stop acting all mysterious!” The hooligan cursed again. “Come out here if you have balls! Let me warn you, don’t try to meddle in our business. Wannabe heroes usually have bad endings!
“If you don’t want to lose an arm or a leg or get stabbed, you’d better get lost!”
The hooligan said as a vicious smile spread across his face.
Then, he took out a switchblade from behind him with his right hand and waved it in the air.
“Quick! Call the police!” The woman shouted.
“Shut up!” The hooligan turned around and waved the switchblade at the woman.
The woman was frightened and immediately shut her mouth.
“Dammit, why are you still here? Do you want to taste my blade?” The hooligan said viciously as he took a few steps toward the silhouette.
The silhouette started moving out of the shadow.
However, he seemed to be shrouded in mist. No one could clearly see his face.
“F*ck! Are my eyes playing tricks on me?”
The hooligan rubbed his eyes as he thought that his vision was becoming blurry. However, no matter how hard he rubbed his eyes, he could not clearly see the face of the person in front of him.
“Wh… What the hell is going on?” He was confused.
He suddenly thought of something. His face turned pale as a sheet and his legs started trembling. “Don’t… Don’t tell me that I’m seeing a ghost! Hey you guys, can… can you see his face clearly?”
The other hooligans were also trembling. All of them shook their heads.
The hooligan tried to calm himself down. “Dammit, I don’t believe that ghosts exist!” He walked forward, switchblade in hand.
He heard a grunt. The blurry silhouette lifted a hand and waved at the hooligan. All around him, the wind rose.
As though being struck by lightning, the hooligan flew two or three meters backward and landed heavily on the ground.
The other hooligans were dumbstruck. Their mouths were agape, as though they had just seen a ghost.
The woman, huddled in the corner, was also watching the scene with her mouth agape. It was as though time stopped at that instant.
A cry of pain broke the silence.
“Ouch!’ The leader hooligan cried agonizingly. Then, he frantically clambered away. “Ghost! Ghost!” He screamed as he started running away from the scene.
“Wait… Wait for me!”
The other hooligans came to their senses after their leader was already far away. They looked at the figure and nearly wet their pants.
They started running, though some of them tripped on their feet after taking a few frantic steps. Eventually, they stumbled out of the alley.
Tang Hao chuckled as he witnessed all that.
The hooligans had all ran away before he fought them.
“Never mind! The victim is safe anyway!” He mumbled as he turned around to leave.
He suddenly heard a weak voice coming from behind him.
“Excuse me… Are you really a ghost?”
Chapter 98 - Meeting Fu Renjie Again
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Tang Hao was taken aback for a moment and wondered who had asked this.
At that moment, he looked up at the woman.
Earlier, he had not paid too much attention to her, but now when he looked at her, he could not help but be slightly stunned.
Her beauty was beyond his expectations. She had the perfect melon-seed shaped face, a sharp nose, plump red lips, skin as pale as white jade, and large, round eyes that shimmered with life.
Her figure was slender and graceful too, with prominent curves.
He was entranced, especially by her long legs.
At that moment, she was leaning against the wall. She was looking at Tang Hao, somewhat perturbed.
Then, she let out a soft “ah”, and her pretty face became flushed as if she had realized that her question was extremely stupid.
Meanwhile, Tang Hao simply looked at her, then turned away without a word.
He did not want to expose his identity carelessly, so he used water-type sorcery to conceal his features.
“Hey!”
Tang Hao left quietly as the girl called out to him hurriedly.
Her heart was full of curiosity, swirling with questions like “why did that person’s features look so blurry?”. The quick wave of his hand had escaped her notice.
She hurried after him, but as she darted into the alley, he was nowhere to be found.
She was momentarily stunned, her expression dazed. Everything that had just happened felt like a dream to her.
Once
he left the alley, Tang Hao returned to the top of the building. After practicing his sorcery a while more, he returned to Celestial Foothill Gardens.
The villa was empty since Sis Xiangyi had returned home for the past few days as some of her relatives would be visiting soon. Thus, there was only Tang Hao left inside the big house.
He returned to his room, made some medicine, and then took a nap for a few hours.
The next morning, Tang Hao headed to Dragonrock Village.
The first thing he did when he got there was to observe the growth of the plantation’s medicinal herbs.
With the magical spring’s irrigation, this batch of medicinal saplings and seeds had grown very quickly. They had only been planted around five or six days ago, but they had already grown a lot taller, surprising the villagers quite a bit.
Based on Tang Hao’s estimates, this batch of medicine should be ready in a month.
Then, he ventured into the mountains again and checked on that plantation as well.
The first batch of ginseng and lingzhi mushrooms were almost ready. After ten more days, they should almost be of the right stage and would be able to be harvested to create Liquid of Spiritual Condensation.
He then left Dragonrock Village and immediately headed to Jade Town.
Recently, Liu Dajun, President Li, and the others were busy helping to get ready for the factory’s establishment. Therefore, they had to register the company and the product trademarks.
After some deliberation, they decided to name the company Haotian Health Products Development Co., Ltd.
As for the weight-loss tea, it had been named “Bizhi”, and it would be the company’s first product.
It was always a troublesome task to establish a company or register a trademark, especially when it came to health products. They even had to go through various verification and inspection processes. If everything went according to the standard operating procedure timeline, it would take a few months.
