Shen Nong Agricultural Science was also an industry Ling Tian acquired from the Wang family. This company primarily produced traditional Chinese medicinal materials, serving as a support for Bing Tian Pharmaceutical.
In recent days, with Ling Tian's capital injection, Shen Nong Agricultural Science had developed smoothly, acquiring many medicinal fields.
This time, they jointly acquired Xue Lian Pharmaceutical with Tian Xi Group, securing nearly 80% of the domestic snow lotus cultivation output. Bing Tian Pharmaceutical no longer had to worry about other companies controlling the supply of snow lotus.
Of course, Ling Tian would not cheat his teacher by asking Tian Xi Group for help. If this were a losing deal, Ling Tian would not drag others down.
Although they paid nearly 8 billion yuan in premium for the acquisition, the company's market value surpassed their investment within just one year.
After this, Ling Tian had no further involvement. Wang Kun and Lu Kai, accompanied by the senior management of Xue Lian Pharmaceutical, went directly to their production bases to inspect the snow lotus growth. They also planned to make further investments to expand snow lotus production.
Ling Tian did not accompany them. Instead, he contacted Lawyer Zhu Chengxiang directly.
Lawyer Zhu Chengxiang personally picked him up at the hotel and took him to his home.
Lawyer Zhu's home was in the old district of the capital, a three-bedroom old apartment, less than 100 square meters.
It wasn't that he didn't want to buy a better house for his mother, but his mother had lived there for decades, surrounded by old neighbors. The elderly lady didn't want to move.
The old lady was very happy to see Ling Tian. Ling Tian examined her and found that her physical condition was very good, with very few cancer cells remaining in her body.
Although tumors still existed, they were largely benign and within a controllable range.
Most importantly, the size of the tumors had also significantly decreased compared to before.
"Mr. Ling Tian, my mother's attending physician said that her condition has now improved. The doctor suggested that surgery can be performed to remove the tumor. What are your thoughts on this?" After the treatment concluded and the elderly lady was sleeping soundly, Zhu Chengxiang asked Ling Tian this question.
Ling Tian pondered for a moment.
"Surgery is possible, and I trust the doctors at Xie He. Their medical standards are well-established. However, given the elderly lady's age, her recovery ability is not as strong as that of younger people, and this surgery requires an open chest, which is extremely taxing. My recommendation is conservative treatment. Every one to two months, you can bring her to me, or I can come to the capital, and I will administer acupuncture treatment, supplemented by herbal decoctions, which can also achieve a complete cure!"
"Alright, we will proceed with your plan!" Lawyer Zhu readily agreed to Ling Tian's proposal. After all, he had personally witnessed the medical miracle that had occurred with his mother.
"By the way, Ling Tian, can you treat glioblastoma? Glioblastoma, commonly known as brain cancer, is also a very tricky disease."
Due to the tumor being in the brain, surgical removal is often difficult to achieve completely, and the surgery can damage other brain tissues, causing severe side effects. Chemotherapy is also not very effective. The human brain has a blood-brain barrier that, while preventing toxins and bacteria in the blood from harming the brain, also blocks the efficacy of many drugs.
Therefore, doctors both domestically and internationally are often helpless against this disease, only able to rely on medication to maintain the condition, hoping that cancer cells do not spread rapidly or self-destruct within the brain. It is important to remember that the human brain is extremely fragile; even a blocked or ruptured blood vessel can lead to very serious consequences.
Ling Tian thought for a moment and said, "It depends on the patient, their overall condition, the stage of tumor development, and its location."
Ling Tian was speaking the truth. If the tumor in the brain was in a particularly difficult location that his silver needles could not reach, then even with all his skills, Ling Tian might find it hard to resolve the issue.
"I hope you can come and see this patient. This patient is my teacher. He is less than 70 years old, and it is truly a pity that he has contracted this disease. My teacher is a leading figure in the domestic legal community. I can say that my current network and achievements are largely due to his guidance and support," Lawyer Zhu Chengxiang said sincerely.
"Alright, I will be in the capital for the next few days. You can make arrangements."
"That..." Lawyer Zhu hesitated to speak.
"Please, tell me if there's anything."
"My teacher has a rather special status. To treat him, we would need to go through some departmental reviews... Have you heard of the Bao Jian Bureau?"
Ling Tian nodded. This organization could be considered the modern-day imperial physicians. Those who managed to enter the purview of this institution were undoubtedly doctors with exceptional medical skills, impeccable backgrounds, and who had passed rigorous tests.
"If you want to treat my teacher, they will definitely conduct a review, and possibly even an interview... They might ask some very intrusive questions..." Lawyer Zhu had a clear understanding of social dynamics. When he first saw how young Ling Tian was, he had absolutely no trust in him. If they were to go to the Bao Jian Bureau and encounter those arrogant national medical masters, who knew what offensive things they might say to Ling Tian.
Now, in Lawyer Zhu's mind, Ling Tian was on par with those national medical masters. Lawyer Zhu did not want to offend Ling Tian because of this matter.
"Alright, no problem!" Ling Tian agreed readily. He understood that this was a challenge, but also an opportunity to build his network, which would undoubtedly become a valuable asset in his future quest for revenge!
"Good, then I will contact my teacher immediately. Oh, and there's something else I almost forgot," Lawyer Zhu said, tapping his forehead.
"That boss Fang Yong has been arrested. His assets have been seized and are being used to compensate the victims. His company and properties are currently being auctioned. His alleged fraud crimes are also under investigation."
"Thank you, Brother Zhu, for your righteous intervention!"
"It's nothing, it's what I should do. I've reviewed the case files, and this scoundrel has harmed so many people, causing many to lose their fortunes. Some owners of small wineries were even forced to commit suicide due to his high-interest loans."
"That's too wicked, utterly wicked!" Ling Tian's anger flared upon hearing Lawyer Zhu's account. He had only intended to help Old Zhou get justice, but he had also done a good deed by eliminating a menace.
"Then keep up the good work and ensure he serves his full sentence."
"Okay, you can wait for my good news. I guarantee that by the time he gets out, he won't have the strength to harm anyone else!"
Ling Tian declined Lawyer Zhu's invitation to dinner and went directly to see Old Master Lan Ruo Ting, who was, after all, his nominal teacher.
