Lan Guoming put away the prescription, his eyes showing a hint of excitent: "Young man, I'm really grateful to you. I know that for any doctor, you have to pay for treatnt. Na your price, and as long as it's within my capability, I'll definitely pay."
"And about what happened just now, I'm very sorry—it was my oversight," Lan Guoming added.
Luo Chao smiled faintly: "If I were in your position, I would certainly think I'm not a Divine Doctor, but a charlatan."
"Haha." Lan Guoming burst into laughter. He hadn't laughed so happily in a long ti. Recovering from a serious illness, nothing was more joyous than this.
Lanya covered her mouth and giggled, but when she looked at Luo Chao, her beautiful eyes showed a hint of gratitude.
Lan Guoming spoke again: "Young man, how much is your consultation fee?"
This rogue must be asking for an outrageous price, Lanya thought bitterly to herself. If he dares to ask for more, she will teach him a lesson.
"No need," Luo Chao waved his hand: "I'm here because I owe Lanya a favor."
"A favor?" Lan Guoming was slightly taken aback and asked with curiosity, "Lanya, what kind of favor does he owe you?"
Hearing this, even Luo Chao, who considered himself thick-skinned, couldn't help but blush. He mused in his heart, should I tell the municipal party secretary that it's because I spanked your daughter's little bottom, which led to three conditions of favor owed.
Lanya's pretty face flushed with two shades of red. She retorted, "Dad, I saw that Luo Chao had great potential, so I transferred him to my departnt."
"Having potential and still going to your departnt? You fool around, that's one thing, but don't drag Luo Chao into it," Lan Guoming glared at his precious daughter. He knew about the logistics departnt of the Tengyuan Group; it was completely a place to slack off.
Lanya initially coaxed and acted cute in front of her cousin Ning Wanxi to beco the head of the logistics departnt. Although Lan Guoming strongly opposed it, he had to turn a blind eye because his niece doted on her and was willing to give her a salary for living expenses.
Lanya humd lightly, indicating her protest. Lan Guoming looked at Luo Chao: "Luo Chao, where did you learn your dical skills?"
Luo Chao said, "I learned them from my ntor."
"Who is your ntor? I would love to pay him a visit," Lan Guoming asked with curiosity.
Luo Chao sighed deeply: "My ntor has already passed away."
This ti Luo Chao wasn't lying. He truly had a ntor. Once, while on a national mission, he was ambushed by a terrorist organization in a desolate mountain. He survived by chance, though gravely injured. When he was on the brink of death, he was rescued by a mysterious old man who lived deep in the mountains and took him as a disciple.
Luo Chao only knew his ntor's na was Mo Yuntao and nothing else. However, the ntor treated him extrely well and, within a year, imparted all his life's knowledge to him, teaching him martial arts and traditional Chinese dicine, and also taught him the "Eighteen Needles of Returning to Life." This acupuncture technique had been lost for a hundred years, and its reappearance was sure to cause a stir.
This was the ntor's warning before his death. The rule of balance stated: with righteousness cos evil, and with yin cos yang. The so-called "Beyond Redemption," also known as "Eighteen Needles of Inadequate Skill," could easily make life worse than death. Beyond redemption indeed!
The Eighteen Needles of Inadequate Skill were extrely terrifying, and there was also a mysterious organization in the world possessing such sinister acupuncture techniques. The ntor instructed him not to use the Eighteen Needles of Returning to Life unless absolutely necessary, and his dying wish was for Luo Chao to eliminate this loathso organization.
The acupuncture just perford was rely a glimpse of the Eighteen Needles of Returning to Life, as Secretary Lan's condition wasn't that severe.
Lan Guoming said apologetically: "Sorry, I didn't know your ntor had passed, what a pity."
"It's alright," Luo Chao stood up: "Secretary Lan, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
"Lanya's mother should be back soon. Stay for a al before you go," Lan Guoming stood up as well, trying to keep him.
Luo Chao shook his head: "Thank you, Secretary Lan, but I have so things to attend to."
Lan Guoming smiled slightly: "Alright, next ti I'll treat you to a al. Here, take my number. If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to call ."
A word from Secretary Lan could make Jiangning City tremble. He was indeed a mountain-divine level figure. Luo Chao certainly wasn't going to refuse. They exchanged numbers with Secretary Lan.
After all, who can guarantee they'll never have any problems? Lan Guoming also had his own considerations.
"Lanya, see Luo Chao off," Lan Guoming said to his precious daughter.
"Alright!" Lanya nodded. After sending Luo Chao to the door, she said with a playful smile: "You did well today. Rember, you still owe two more conditions!"
Luo Chao rolled his eyes and took the elevator downstairs. Watching his disappearing figure, Lanya huffed heavily: "What an attitude that was! He doesn't see as a leader at all. I'll have to properly control him in the future so he knows my strength!"
When Luo Chao got to the bottom floor, as he was about to get into the car, his phone rang in his pocket. Without checking the caller ID, he answered the call. From the other end ca a sweet and slightly familiar voice: "Luo Chao, do you still rember ?"
"Who are you?" For a mont, Luo Chao really couldn't recall.
"Hmph, you forgot so quickly."
Listening to the increasingly familiar voice, Luo Chao smiled and asked: "Are you Li Ruotong?"
Li Ruotong, still sowhat annoyed, said: "Good thing you rembered ; otherwise, I would have been furious. Didn't you save my number?"
"I didn't check the caller ID. Besides, if you got angry to death, I definitely wouldn't survive either."
Li Ruotong giggled: "This ti I'll forgive you. Are you free tonight? Let treat you to dinner."
"I'm free," Luo Chao hesitated for a mont before saying. He knew that this al was inevitable because the big star had ntioned it twice, and it wasn't good to refuse any longer.
"Then co to the Rihao Grand Hotel now. I'll be waiting for you there."
"Alright, I'll be there right away."
Rihao Grand Hotel is a five-star hotel in Jiangning City, covering an area of ten thousand square ters, with floors reaching up to sixty-eight stories high. It's a landmark building in Jiangning City, and the Rihao Hotel is an asset of another super large group, the Hongxing Group.
Luo Chao stood in front of the Rihao Grand Hotel, where the pedestrians were endless and all the arriving people drove luxury cars, either of noble status or super wealthy.
"Luo Chao!" A lodious voice like the singing of orioles ca from afar. There stood Li Ruotong at the entrance, waving at Luo Chao.
Today Li Ruotong wore a white lily dress, and even with a mask on, her graceful figure was highlighted with curves, her long hair cascading like a waterfall over her shoulders, exuding a faint and alluring fragrance.
