"Yes, yes, Mr. Lu is absolutely right!"
Wei Changqing became excited again after hearing Lu Yang's words.
"I will first perform acupuncture on Elder Wei to clear his meridians, and then assist with medicinal soup to nourish him slowly. If he persists for three months, Elder Wei will be completely cured!"
Lu Yang stated directly.
Upon hearing this, everyone present wore expressions of extreme astonishment.
For so many years, Elder Wei's illness had been seen by countless renowned doctors, yet none could cure it, only alleviate the pain. Unexpectedly, the young man they encountered by chance today could actually cure Elder Wei's ailment.
This news filled all the Wei family members with overwhelming joy.
"As long as Mr. Lu can cure my grandfather's hidden ailment, Mr. Lu will be our Wei family's great benefactor from now on. The Wei family, from top to bottom, will serve you with utmost loyalty!"
Wei Xingchen said to Lu Yang with great reverence.
"Young Master Wei is too kind. There's no time to delay, I will perform acupuncture on Elder Wei now!"
As Lu Yang spoke, he took out the silver needles he had prepared earlier. In Elder Wei's bedroom, he administered acupuncture to Elder Wei, clearing all the meridians in his body. With the meridians unblocked, the medicinal soup prescribed by Lu Yang could better treat Elder Wei's hidden ailment.
Half an hour later, Lu Yang wrote a prescription and handed it to Wei Xingchen.
"Young Master Wei, please procure the herbs according to this prescription, decoct them, and give them to Elder Wei to consume twice a day!"
Lu Yang instructed Wei Xingchen.
"Mr. Lu, rest assured, I will strictly follow your instructions!"
Wei Xingchen immediately replied.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll be taking my leave!"
Lu Yang glanced at his watch; it was almost six in the evening. He had only come to treat Elder Wei and had no intention of staying for dinner.
"Mr. Lu, please stay. It is already dinnertime. If I let you leave now, people will say our Wei family is ill-bred and lacks basic hospitality!"
Wei Changqing said to Lu Yang immediately.
At this moment, a middle-aged man pushed open the door. He was dressed in a crisp suit, with a handsome face, exuding an aura of natural authority. As he entered, a commanding presence immediately filled the room.
"Uncle!"
"Dad!"
Wei Xingchen and Wei Mengyao called out simultaneously.
Lu Yang's heart skipped a beat, already guessing the identity of the newcomer. It was indeed the eldest son of the Wei family, the mayor of Jiangbei City, Wei Guozhen!
"We have a guest!"
Wei Guozhen said with a smile, glancing at Lu Yang.
"Dad, this is Mr. Lu. He just saved Grandpa's life, was invited to our home by Grandpa, and has cured Grandpa's hidden ailment!"
Wei Xingchen quickly introduced Lu Yang to his father.
"What?"
Upon hearing this, even Wei Guozhen, who, despite his high position, had long cultivated an unflustered demeanor, opened his mouth in surprise.
He knew his father's health better than anyone. For years, his father had seen countless doctors, all of whom were helpless. Yet, this young man before him, who appeared to be only twenty-four or twenty-five years old, possessed such remarkable skills that he could cure his father. It was simply unbelievable!
"You must be Mayor Wei, correct? I have heard much about you. It is an honor to meet you!"
While Wei Guozhen was still in a daze, Lu Yang extended his hand.
"Young Doctor, at such a tender age, to possess such medical skill is truly a blessing for China!"
Wei Guozhen, recovering from his surprise, quickly shook hands with Lu Yang, saying excitedly.
"Mayor Wei is too kind. Mayor Wei has dedicated much of your life to serving Jiangbei City; having you here is truly our fortune!"
Lu Yang replied humbly.
"Dad, I will arrange dinner immediately. Our Wei family must properly thank the young doctor today!"
After saying this, Wei Guozhen personally went to arrange the dinner.
Seeing this, Lu Yang felt it would be impolite to insist on leaving, so he sat down and had dinner with the Wei family.
During the meal, Wei Changqing brought out a bottle of wine that had been aged for fifty years, intending to share a few drinks with Lu Yang.
"Grandpa, your body cannot tolerate alcohol!"
Wei Mengyao immediately objected.
"Grandpa is so happy today, he'll just have one cup!"
Wei Changqing said with a smile.
"Old Master, in fact, drinking two liang of wine daily is beneficial and harmless to your body. Drinking too much is harmful, but a little can be good for your health!"
Lu Yang said with a smile, looking at Wei Changqing.
"Did you hear that? The young doctor has spoken!"
Wei Changqing said cheerfully, while Wei Mengyao pouted, harboring a hidden resentment towards Lu Yang.
"Young Doctor, I toast you, thanking you for curing my father's illness!"
Wei Guozhen raised his wine glass, looking at Lu Yang and smiling.
"Mayor Wei, you are too polite!"
Lu Yang, neither subservient nor overbearing, raised his glass with Wei Guozhen and drank it down. Subsequently, other members of the Wei family also took turns toasting Lu Yang, and after a round, half a catty of wine had been consumed.
However, since he began cultivating the "Black Dragon Art," Lu Yang's body had become exceptionally strong. This amount of alcohol posed no issue for him.
At this moment, Wei Guozhen's phone rang.
Wei Guozhen made no move to avoid Lu Yang and answered the call directly.
"Mhmm, I know!"
"The Qinglongwan project is set to commence next month. This is the core investment of the municipal government this year, and all aspects must be handled meticulously!"
Wei Guozhen spoke briefly and then hung up the phone.
Lu Yang, seated at the banquet, was shaken by what he heard.
"Mayor Wei, did your call just now mean that investment will be made in Qinglongwan?"
Lu Yang asked in surprise.
"That's right. The municipal plan has been released, and the next step is to invest in Qinglongwan. However, it will still take some time. I have only received the approval; the specifics of the investment have not yet been finalized!"
"Mr. Lu, this is municipal confidential information. It's fine for you to know, but you mustn't spread it!"
Wei Guozhen said to Lu Yang with a smile.
"I understand!"
Lu Yang smiled faintly.
He hadn't expected that after traversing mountains and rivers where there seemed to be no path, a new vista would open up.
Originally, the Wang family intended to use the false news of the Qinglongwan project to siphon money and then abscond. Unexpectedly, the municipality suddenly planned to invest in the Qinglongwan project. By the time the Wang family fled, they would have realized what a lucrative opportunity they had missed.
However, they would have no way of knowing this information, as it was municipal confidential data. If Lu Yang hadn't saved Wei Changqing, he wouldn't have learned such sensitive information in advance.
After dinner, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. Wei Changqing had his bodyguard escort Lu Yang back to Cloudtop Villa.
Lu Yang, still concerned about Tang Shimin, called her again.
"Shimin, have you purchased the land for the Qinglongwan project yet?"
"Lu Yang, don't try to persuade me anymore. Our Tang family has already bought six hundred mu of land in Qinglongwan for a total of 110 million. Once I make money from reselling it, I will immediately give you the money, divorce you, and completely sever ties with you!"
Tang Shimin, assuming Lu Yang was calling to dissuade her from buying the land, spoke furiously and then hung up the phone.
