The ambulance ca and took Duan Yu Kai away.
Although the doctor leading the team felt like everyone was playing a joke on him, everyone spoke with one voice, leaving him no choice but to take Duan Yu Kai away.
After all, Duan Yu Kai had just suddenly experienced a brain hemorrhage, so going to the hospital for a CT scan and thorough check-up provided peace of mind.
However, before leaving, Duan Yu Kai cautiously asked for Lu Zheng's contact information. This act of humility made President Wang, who also got the contact details, feel honored, while Xie Feng and Liu Zhenming, who already had Lu Zheng's contact information, felt a sense of shared glory, so much so that they were quite buoyant.
Duan Yu Kai was taken away, but President Wang thick-skinnedly stayed behind, and called over the two beautiful secretaries he brought to accompany Duan Yu Kai for drinks to set the mood.
Surrounded by chirping birds and swans, Lu Zheng ended up having a high-end private lunch that felt like a private room in a karaoke bar.
...
On the other side, Duan Yu Kai was taken directly by ambulance to a high-end private hospital, where a brain scan was swiftly conducted.
"Mr. Duan, there's nothing wrong with your brain at all, with no signs of a brain hemorrhage. We suspect that what you had earlier was just a brief dizziness caused by a sudden spike in blood pressure," the doctor said to Duan Yu Kai, holding the test results.
Duan Yu Kai took a deep breath and didn't argue with the doctor. After thanking the doctor and confirming he was indeed fine, he left the hospital alone.
After leaving the hospital, Duan Yu Kai first made a phone call to Deng Pao Pao.
"President Duan?"
"Younger Brother Deng, I have sothing to ask you."
"What would you like to know?"
"Have you seen Zhao Xiaodao recently?"
"No, the last eting was in Hai City, just…"
When Deng Pao Pao suddenly paused and stopped talking, Duan Yu Kai asked, "You an the last ti when I was also there, right?"
"Yes, yes, indeed."
Deng Pao Pao still held a high degree of respect for Duan Yu Kai, partly because of his status and partly because his father, a top-notch traditional dicine doctor, had once helped nourish Deng Pao Pao's mother's health, so the two families had maintained a good relationship.
"So... do you know about Zhao Xiaodao's recent condition?" Duan Yu Kai hesitated to ask.
Deng Pao Pao took a sharp breath, "The condition you an is…"
"Like ntal state, skin condition or anything like that? Sothing indicating he's been through traditional dicine treatnt?" Duan Yu Kai asked.
"Hiss—"
Deng Pao Pao inhaled sharply.
"Did you discover sothing, Younger Brother Deng?" Duan Yu Kai imdiately picked up on it.
"Umm... may I ask why President Duan is asking this question?" Deng Pao Pao inquired.
When they t, Zhao Xiaodao was being secretive and didn't say much. But recent rumors circulating in Beidu were rampant, and Zhao Xiaodao clearly wasn't telling the truth, so while Deng Pao Pao had suspicions, he didn't dare to speak rashly.
"I t that Mr. Lu from that day today," Duan Yu Kai said.
"Oh?" Deng Pao Pao's eyes flashed with interest.
"He's a Divine Doctor!" Duan Yu Kai declared, "He actually just saved my life."
"Hiss—"
Deng Pao Pao couldn't help taking another sharp breath and then shared more about his eting with Zhao Xiaodao and his own speculations.
Duan Yu Kai nodded and shared with Deng Pao Pao the news about Lu Zheng supplying top-tier wild dicinal materials to Huai Ren Hall.
"I've heard of that." Deng Pao Pao quickly said, "The Immortal Replenishing Essence Soup, even the price makes feel guilty."
"That's because you haven't reached that age yet," Duan Yu Kai replied.
"Hehe!" Deng Pao Pao could only scratch his head with a chuckle. He even wanted to buy so Replenishing Essence Soup for his grandparents last year, but couldn't get a reservation. Can you believe it?
"So, in other words..."
"Zhao Xiaodao's change must be thanks to that Mr. Lu, but since he didn't say anything, Mr. Lu probably also doesn't want to be exposed. I think we should just keep this to ourselves," Duan Yu Kai said.
Duan Yu Kai now referred to Lu Zheng with great respect.
Deng Pao Pao nodded continuously, thinking to himself he still wanted to seek help from Lu Zheng, so how could he go against Lu Zheng's wishes?
However...
Even though you've been forgiven by him, when will I get his friend status?
But Deng Pao Pao dared not rush things, since Zhao Xiaodao was impervious to offer, and Duan Yu Kai probably just reconciled with Lu Zheng, how could he possibly introduce himself imdiately?
"Oh well, at least I know the key person now, so I'm already a step ahead of others. Let's take it slow, no need to rush."
Deng Pao Pao sighed, then hurried off to the yoga room to report this matter to his wife.
...
On the other side, Duan Yu Kai drove ho and headed straight to his father's study.
Duan Chengru was writing in the study. When he saw Duan Yu Kai rushing in, he couldn't help but frown, "In any major event, one must have a composed spirit. What kind of behavior is all this hustling about?"
Duan Yu Kai nodded repeatedly and then relayed everything to his father.
"That's impossible!?"
Duan Chengru slapped the brush holder beside him, and the brushes scattered all over the floor.
Duan Yu Kai, "..."
...
anwhile, after a lunch full of chirping birds and swans, Lu Zheng declined the offers from a few beautiful secretaries to drive him ho. Instead, he unlocked a shared bicycle and, to everyone's shock, leisurely cycled away out of sight.
"Remarkable!" President Wang couldn't help but give a thumbs-up, "Truly remarkable!"
Xie Feng nodded continuously, "Indeed, indeed!"
Watching Lu Zheng's departing silhouette, Liu Zhenming thought back to how he and Lu Zheng t and couldn't help but feel grateful for his luck in getting to know such a remarkable figure in advance.
...
At night, during dinner.
As Lin Wan slurped up her noodles, she was wide-eyed, "No way, did it really cause a brain hemorrhage directly? Just how aggravating was your expression at the ti?"
Lu Zheng couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Utter nonsense. I was in a great mood and smiling warmly. He was the one overthinking it, plagued by paranoia, imagining Xie Feng and I as villains."
"Exactly, he and Xie Feng were totally talking past each other. Not getting mad would be strange, but..."
Lin Wan chuckled, "In the end, he got more information than Xie Feng did."
Lu Zheng shrugged, "What's the use?"
Lin Wan laughed, "His father is a master of Chinese dicine. With your skills, they might invite you to work at a hospital."
"Doctors have it tough, and good doctors risk their lives while bad ones risk going to jail. Why would I go looking for trouble?"
Lin Wan couldn't help but choke a little, "Don't be so extre, being a doctor still holds a high social status."
Lu Zheng shrugged, "If you had a child, would you want them to study dicine?"
"No!" Lin Wan laughed awkwardly, "Let's talk about vacation plans instead."
