"Hmm, it seems Liu Hui followed my advice and has established a security company, partnering with Haitong Group. Excellent!"
Lu Yang felt a sense of relief seeing these former hoodlums transformed into members of the security company.
"Work hard, and Haitong Group will not treat you unfairly!"
Lu Yang smiled gently and patted their shoulders.
"Please rest assured, boss, we will work diligently!"
The five men said in unison.
After assigning tasks to the group, Lu Yang checked the time. It was nearing the time for the apprenticeship ceremony, so he got into his car and headed towards Changlin Medical Hall.
Meanwhile, Tang Yuan had already been taken to Changlin Medical Hall. Liang Weijie had also invited his master over early to treat Tang Yuan.
After diagnosing Tang Yuan's condition, Meng Hongda shook his head.
"The patient has a heart problem, with blocked cardiac meridians. If treated promptly, there would indeed be hope for recovery. However, the blockage is now too severe. With my medical skills, even if I manage to cure him, he would be confined to bed for the rest of his life!"
Meng Hongda said, shaking his head.
"What?"
Upon hearing this, all the Tang family members were deeply disappointed.
Tang Yuan was the pillar of their Tang family. If he were to pass away now, their Tang family would suffer an immense loss.
"Divine Doctor Meng, is there any way to save our Tang family head? As long as the elder can be saved, our Tang family is willing to pay any price!"
"Yes, our Tang family is in troubled times, we cannot be without the elder!"
"Please, Divine Doctor Meng, save him!"
"..."
The Tang family members tearfully pleaded with Meng Hongda.
"I am helpless at the moment. However, today I am to be apprenticed, and my master has extraordinary abilities, he should be able to save the Tang family head!"
Meng Hongda pondered for a moment and said to the Tang family members.
Hearing this, all the Tang family members' eyes lit up, and hope was instantly ignited.
Before long, the entire Changlin Medical Hall was crowded with people, many of whom had come to attend Meng Hongda's apprenticeship ceremony. After all, who could be so formidable that they could take Meng Hongda, a leading figure in Jiangbei City's traditional Chinese medicine circle, as their disciple?
"May I ask who Divine Doctor Meng's master is?"
Tang Mingyuan walked up to Meng Hongda and respectfully asked.
"His surname is Lu. His medical skills are at a height I can never reach in this lifetime. As long as he makes a move, even the dead can be saved!"
Meng Hongda's praise for Lu Yang was unprecedented. Everyone listened clearly and became even more expectant of this divine doctor.
At this moment, Lu Yang had arrived at Changlin Medical Hall. As he reached the entrance, he encountered Tang Zixuan.
Lu Yang could guess with his toes why Tang Zixuan was here.
However, Tang Zixuan had no idea why Lu Yang would appear here at this moment.
"You good-for-nothing, what are you doing here?"
Tang Zixuan asked Lu Yang with disdain.
"Of course, I'm here to attend Meng Hongda's apprenticeship ceremony!"
Lu Yang said directly.
"Is Meng Lao's name something you can just casually utter? Who the hell do you think you are?"
Tang Zixuan roared fiercely at Lu Yang.
"Our Tang family is currently asking Meng Lao to treat our elder. And you, you're here to cause trouble. It's clear you want to sabotage everything!"
"Lu Yang, you are the Tang family's worthless live-in son-in-law. Get lost! If anything happens to the elder, I will hold you accountable!"
Tang Ziqi was not to be outdone and also yelled angrily.
"What a pair of mad dogs. I'm attending Meng Hongda's apprenticeship ceremony. Does that have anything to do with you? If you delay me, don't be surprised if not only is the elder's illness left untreated, but the Tang family will also suffer misfortune!"
Lu Yang said coldly to the brother and sister.
"Lu Yang, what do you mean by that?"
At this moment, Tang Shimin came out and heard Lu Yang's words, her face instantly turned cold.
She had felt grateful for Lu Yang's willingness to step forward that day, but hearing his words now, she felt disheartened once again.
"Our grandfather is suffering from such an illness, and we are already feeling terrible. I didn't expect you to curse our Tang family. What are your intentions?"
"Shimin, you've misunderstood. Back at the Tang family, you refused when I wanted to treat Grandpa. That's why Grandpa's illness was delayed!"
Lu Yang quickly explained.
"You treat Grandpa? You're trying to kill me with laughter! If I had let you treat Grandpa back then, he might have already passed away!"
"We know your character better than anyone!"
Hearing Lu Yang's words, Tang Zixuan burst into laughter.
"Indeed. Why don't you take a look at yourself in the mirror? Besides running your mouth all day, what else can you do? And today you're here to attend Divine Doctor Meng's apprenticeship ceremony. I think you're just here to test the waters so you can brag about it later!"
Tang Ziqi also looked at Lu Yang sarcastically.
"Think whatever you want. However, you missed Grandpa's optimal treatment window. If you want to cure Grandpa's illness now, you will still have to ask me!"
Lu Yang sneered.
He had long understood Tang Yuan's condition and knew that Meng Hongda's methods would not be able to cure him. He would have to step in himself.
Originally, it would have only taken two needles to cure him, but now that the optimal treatment window had passed, it would require considerable effort.
"Oh, you're getting more arrogant, acting like you know everything. Who are you showing off for?"
Tang Zixuan continued to speak.
Just then, Liang Weijie came out, intending to chat with Tang Shimin, but he spotted Lu Yang standing at the entrance.
"What are you doing here? My master doesn't welcome trash like you!"
Liang Weijie was filled with hostility towards Lu Yang. He had even noticed that this good-for-nothing seemed to genuinely understand medicine, and what he had said about Tang Yuan earlier was mostly correct. The more this was the case, the more Liang Weijie hated Lu Yang.
"Your master?"
"Even if your master stood before me, he wouldn't dare speak to me like that!"
After hearing Liang Weijie's words, Lu Yang immediately let out a cold laugh.
"What did you say?"
"In our Changlin Medical Hall, you dare to insult my master? You're looking for death!"
"Security, beat this good-for-nothing's legs!"
Liang Weijie was instantly enraged and shouted.
Soon, two security guards standing not far away ran over. Upon hearing Liang Weijie's command, they took out their batons and prepared to attack Lu Yang.
"Divine Doctor Liang, please, forget it. After all, he is still my husband. If he gets beaten here, it will be an embarrassment to our Tang family!"
Tang Shimin sighed and pleaded with Liang Weijie.
"Hmph, if it weren't for Shimin's sake, I would have broken your legs today!"
Liang Weijie said with a cold laugh.
Lu Yang did not say anything further. Since he was not allowed in, he would wait. By twelve o'clock, Meng Hongda would personally come out to invite him.
"Divine Doctor Liang, I heard that Meng Lao is taking a disciple this time. May I ask who this esteemed person is?"
At this moment, more and more guests were arriving, and some could not help but look at Liang Weijie and ask.
