Tang Haoran?
Han Lang was a little puzzled.
"Tang Haoran shouldn't be very old. What kind of chronic illness does he have?"
"This has to start with the Tang family's background."
With that, Sun Liansheng began to introduce the Tang family to Han Lang in detail.
"The Tang family is a rather mysterious family in Lecheng. According to rumors, the entire Tang family has a very strong military background. However, the Tang family has never given a direct response to this matter."
"However, most members of the Tang family do work in government agencies. And their positions are almost all not low. In the entire legitimate circle of Lecheng, the Tang family has a presence in almost every stratum."
Han Lang was astonished after hearing this.
"Then wouldn't their family have absolute control in Lecheng?"
Sun Liansheng couldn't help but give Han Lang a sideways glance and said.
"That's you being small-minded. Although the Tang family has considerable power in Lecheng, almost everyone is just and upright, enforcing the law with integrity. There have been no rumors of corruption."
"What about the Tang Group? As far as I know, their business scope is exceptionally wide, covering almost everything from medicine and education to real estate. If you say they haven't used any power, I don't think anyone would believe it!"
Sun Liansheng did not object this time, but instead agreed and said.
"You're not wrong to say that. But even if there are some minor irregularities, it doesn't necessarily mean they are illegal."
"Although the Tang Group is involved in businesses across various industries, all project bids are definitely reasonable and legal. Moreover, their public welfare projects are also deeply popular."
"From my personal perspective, who earns the money doesn't matter. The Tang Group at least satisfies the basic national policy of being based on urban development and aiming for the happiness of the people."
"Besides, isn't it also by me using some power that your clinic opened? Although this is somewhat unfair, isn't the purpose to benefit the people?"
"So, some things can't be taken too seriously!"
After hearing Sun Liansheng's words, Han Lang couldn't help but nod in understanding.
"That's true! In that case, the Tang family can at least be considered a conscientious enterprise. Alright, these are not things a commoner like me should worry about. You should tell me about Tang Haoran's condition."
Seeing that Han Lang was no longer curious or bothered, Sun Liansheng quickly began to introduce Tang Haoran's condition.
"The Tang family head is only in his fifties this year, and his body is still quite strong. However, he suffered many hidden injuries when he served in the special forces in his early years. According to him, every time he has an attack, he is in excruciating pain. For so many years, he has been looking for folk remedies everywhere, but they have been almost useless. That's why I thought of you!"
"Tang Haoran was also in the military?"
Sun Liansheng seemed somewhat surprised by Han Lang's question. After he had said so much, Han Lang's focus was actually on whether Tang Haoran had served in the military?
"Yes. Otherwise, why would they say their family has a military background?"
"Then which special forces unit did he serve in? Snow Leopard, Falcon, or Dragon Flame?"
"How would I know that? Besides, that's a state secret!"
Han Lang was immediately disappointed, but then he thought, Sun Liansheng was right.
"Okay! I understand the basic situation. We'll discuss the rest after we meet!"
As they chatted, the car quickly drove into a high-end villa complex.
This place was completely different from other communities. Even the guards at the entrance seemed to have received special military training. Their precise salutes made Han Lang feel a surge of excitement.
As soon as they reached their destination, they saw a middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit waiting at the entrance with a smile.
"Elder Sun is here!"
Before they even got out of the car, the middle-aged man stepped forward to greet them.
"Oh, Deputy Officer Liu. How could I trouble you to come and greet me here?"
The middle-aged man smiled.
"Elder Sun, you flatter me. I've retired, so there's no such thing as a deputy officer anymore! You can just call me Old Liu."
"Alright, then I won't be polite from now on, Old Liu!"
"That's more like it, haha... Let's go inside, the family head is waiting."
After speaking, he politely welcomed the two into the villa.
"Boss, Elder Sun is here!"
Tang Haoran, who had been lying on the sofa rubbing his temples, heard this and excitedly walked over to shake Sun Liansheng's hand and said.
"Liansheng, you're finally here. I haven't slept all night. Look at my dark circles, they're almost like a national treasure!"
Sun Liansheng looked at Tang Haoran with a serious expression and asked with concern.
"Did it act up again? You should have called me. Didn't I say I'm available anytime?"
"What are you saying! I, Tang Haoran, am not a tyrannical emperor, and you, Sun Liansheng, are not my private doctor. It's the middle of the night, and it's not an emergency, so how could I disturb you?"
"You are indeed stubborn!"
"Oh, right, I brought a friend. Let me introduce you. Young sir?"
Tang Haoran heard Sun Liansheng's address and looked incredulous.
"This is?"
Han Lang was not shy and extended his right hand friendly.
"Hello, Patriarch Tang. I am Han Lang."
Seeing Han Lang's composed and polite demeanor, Tang Haoran quickly shook his hand.
"Good, good! A fine young man!"
Sun Liansheng also joked.
"Old Tang, your judgment is indeed sharp. Although Young Sir Han is young, his medical skills are far superior to mine. I invited him here today to treat you."
Tang Haoran's eyes widened in shock upon hearing this, as if he had thought of something and asked cautiously.
"Could it be that Han brother that Old Cao talks about every day!"
"It's him!"
Upon receiving the affirmative answer, Tang Haoran appeared even more flattered.
"Oh my, then I have truly been negligent! Come, come, Young Sir, please come in and sit!"
As Han Lang took a seat under Tang Haoran's warm invitation, he was inwardly amazed.
Although this was his first meeting with Tang Haoran, not only did Tang Haoran treat him as an honored guest, but he also showed no airs of a prominent family.
For Han Lang, this was truly a first, like a bride getting into a sedan chair.
In contrast, whether it was the Cao family back then, or later Party Secretary Liu Xiangdong and Zhang Jianguo, none of them had shown complete trust in him from the outset.
Han Lang could understand the arrogance in the hearts of these social elites and was willing to be friends with them.
However, when compared, the Tang family, as one of the four great prominent families, had a much higher caliber. Not only did Tang Haoran, the family head, show no pretension, but even the butler, Old Liu, who had greeted them earlier, was extremely courteous.
In Han Lang's opinion, this was not a matter of arrogance or not. Some people truly believed in the equality of all people from the bottom of their hearts, and therefore, they would give everyone the most basic respect.
Han Lang had to admit that even Cao Xuerong, Cao Jian, and even Liu Xiangdong and Zhang Jianguo had not done this well. Even Han Lang himself, if he were honest, might not be able to achieve this.
Therefore, the way the Tang family treated people made Han Lang deeply respectful.
"Patriarch Tang, you don't need to be so polite. Let's talk about your condition first!"
Since Han Lang had said so, Tang Haoran had no reason to refuse and immediately began to speak.
"This illness of mine has been with me for over ten years. Back in the military, during a combat mission, I was accidentally shot by an enemy sniper, right here."
Tang Haoran said, pointing to his left chest.
"Fortunately, I was wearing a special bulletproof vest, so the bullet didn't penetrate. However, the impact force sent me flying, and I vomited blood. Fortunately, I was rescued in time, and my life was saved."
"However, since then, my left lung has suffered irreversible damage. Even breathing is not as smooth as before, and every so often, my left chest hurts terribly, to the point of near death. Fortunately, Liansheng can always help me alleviate it."
"I've looked for many folk remedies over the years, but they've been basically useless."
As Tang Haoran spoke, a hint of fear, controlled by his illness, flashed through his eyes. It seemed that the pain of the illness had made him fearful.
But for some reason, Han Lang felt that what he said didn't seem quite right.
"Alright. I understand the basic situation. Patriarch Tang, let me take your pulse first."
Upon hearing this, Tang Haoran immediately extended his hand. But as soon as Han Lang took his pulse, he immediately realized what was wrong.
"Patriarch Tang, your injury shouldn't have been caused by a sniper rifle. In my opinion, it should have been caused by artillery fire at least!"
