"By the way, Elder Gu, this morning I saw Liu Ping Tang and the people from Chun Ren Tang leaving in a hurry. Do you know what happened?" Wan Yunting asked as he drank his tea.
Gu Yuanbai shook his head slightly and said, "I'm not too clear. Liu He and the others left in a hurry today too. When I asked them, they didn't say anything, clearly avoiding me!"
"Oh?"
This surprised Wan Yunting, who hadn't expected even Gu Yuanbai to be in the dark.
Just then, his phone on the table rang. Wan Yunting saw it was Li Yuxiu's number, which startled him. He picked up and asked, "Dr. Li, have you had lunch? Are you back at the clinic?"
"No."
Li Yuxiu's voice on the other end was very serious as she asked, "I need to trouble you to come to Xiehe Hospital."
"Uh, what do you need to go to Xiehe Hospital for?" Wan Yunting asked, confused. Gu Yuanbai also looked up at him.
Li Yuxiu said, "You just come over first."
"I..."
Before Wan Yunting could finish, the call was hung up, leaving him speechless.
"What do you need to go to Xiehe Hospital for?" Gu Yuanbai asked curiously.
Wan Yunting shook his head and said, "It seems something has happened!"
Gu Yuanbai nodded and said, "Then you go. I'll call Old Wei and the others to investigate the matter of the growers."
"Alright, I've already paid the money. I'll trouble you with this matter, Elder Gu."
Wan Yunting got up and left. Gu Yuanbai nodded, took out his phone, and called Wei Datong...
Wan Yunting went downstairs, got in his car, and drove towards Xiehe Hospital in the capital. If Li Yuxiu called him personally, something must have happened.
At this moment, in a high-class ward at Xiehe Hospital, a group of people were gathered in the living room outside. Familiar faces like Liu Yuan, Tian Xiangrong, Zhang Shunchang, Wu Shengbai, and Xue Tonghua were there. Even his father, Xue Dongshan, Liu Pingyi, Li Tiangui, Liu He, and Xue Xialan were present.
He also saw Gu Zichen and Gu Sinuo, siblings he hadn't seen in a while. At the same time, almost all the other doctors from the capital's traditional Chinese medicine circles were there. They were all gathered in the living room outside the ward, murmuring in hushed voices, discussing the matter.
Just then, the ward door opened, and Li Yuxiu walked out alone. Li Tiangui, Liu He, and others immediately stepped forward and asked, "Yuxiu, how is he?"
Li Yuxiu's expression was solemn, and she shook her head slightly.
"Alas..."
Seeing this, all the doctors in the living room shook their heads and sighed.
At this moment, several people in formal attire entered. The one leading them was Gu Xintang, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs. His expression was serious, and his tone was exceptionally grave as he asked, "How is Ambassador Will of the UK? His condition is not good..."
"Minister Gu, Ambassador Will's condition is not optimistic. It's very likely..."
Liu Pingyi, Xue Dongshan, Li Tiangui, and Liu He also shook their heads with solemn expressions, no longer daring to guarantee that they could save the critically ill foreign ambassador lying in the ward.
Gu Xintang's eyes widened, and just as he was about to say something, several foreigners came out of the ward. They were Ambassador Will's assistants and other UK officials. They said to Gu Xintang with great dissatisfaction, "Deputy Minister Gu, you must understand the seriousness of this matter. Ambassador Will has always been in very good health in our country. Yet, after just a few days in your Huaxia, something like this has happened. You must use the best doctors and medicines to save our Ambassador Will, or you will bear the consequences!"
Facing Hanks, Ambassador Will's assistant, who was aggressive and impolite, Gu Xintang's expression became heavy. He said in English, "Hanks, please correct your wording!"
"We don't know if your Ambassador Will's health has always been good, but please correct your wording. It is not that his health deteriorated after coming to our Huaxia."
Hanks was furious, pointing at Gu Xintang and angrily stating, "I don't care. Now that our Ambassador Will is ill in your Huaxia, you are responsible. If Ambassador Will has an accident, our Prime Minister will hold you accountable."
These words made Gu Xintang's face darken with gloom. Undeniably, Ambassador Will had suddenly fallen ill in Huaxia. If something really happened, they would indeed bear unavoidable responsibility and severe consequences.
For a moment, Liu He, Liu Pingyi, and the others around saw Gu Xintang's face as dark as coal and knew the gravity of the situation, but they could only exchange helpless glances and shake their heads.
Since receiving the notification this morning, the three National Medical Masters Liu Pingyi, Li Tiangui, and Xue Dongshan, along with their colleagues from the capital's traditional Chinese medicine circles, had rushed over. They had personally examined Ambassador Will's pulse, but were all powerless.
Even Li Yuxiu had personally performed acupuncture to rescue Ambassador Will, but it could not change anything. That's why she had called Wan Yunting from the ward earlier, asking him to come personally.
In addition to traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, even the most renowned Western medicine doctors in the capital had been invited, but they were also unable to change anything.
Gu Xintang, having received a call from his superiors, very solemnly reported the situation to them. The reply from above was that they must find a way to save Ambassador Will.
Hanks also received a call and was immediately overjoyed, "Immediately invite Professor Holsen over. He will surely have a way to save Ambassador Will."
The foreigner nodded and went out to handle it. Hanks then happily said, "Our UK's most famous Professor Holsen has just flown from our Shang Hai City to the capital. You should send someone to the airport to pick him up immediately."
"Deputy Minister Gu, you should pray that Professor Holsen can save Ambassador Will. Otherwise, if he has an accident in your Huaxia, our Prime Minister will pursue it to the end."
Looking at Hanks' condescending and commanding tone, Gu Xintang's face was grim and angry, but he could only suppress his anger.
"Professor Holsen from the UK? He is indeed a very famous professor in the medical field."
Guo Kangyu, the president of Xiehe Hospital, who was by Gu Xintang's side, said, "He came to Huaxia not long ago to give a lecture at our Ou Ya Hospital in Shang Hai City. He is probably here in the capital for an event today. I will send someone to pick him up now."
"Good, take people with them and go quickly," Gu Xintang instructed, pointing at Hanks' subordinates.
Guo Kangyu nodded and personally led Hanks' men to pick up the professor...
Gu Xintang turned back to Liu Pingyi, Li Tiangui, and the others, his eyes filled with immense disappointment. He had thought inviting these National Medical Masters would save Ambassador Will's life, but the result was unexpected.
Liu He quickly said, "Deputy Minister Gu, don't worry. We have already sent for Elder Gu!"
At that moment, Gu Zichen, who was sitting nearby, received a call, nodded, and hung up. He got up and said, "My grandfather is downstairs. I'll go get him."
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Seeing this, Liu He immediately went out with Gu Zichen to pick up Gu Shiren downstairs.
At the entrance of the Xiehe Hospital building, a luxurious Bentley car slowly pulled up. It was Wan Yunting driving. He found a parking spot, parked the car, got out, and headed towards the hospital entrance. At the same time, he was preparing to call Li Yuxiu on his phone to ask where she was.
"Huh? Elder Gu?"
To his surprise, he saw Gu Shiren, being supported by the old butler, also at the hospital entrance. Wan Yunting exclaimed in surprise and hurried over, "Elder Gu, why are you at the hospital?"
Gu Shiren turned his head upon hearing the voice. Seeing Wan Yunting, he was overjoyed and said with a smile, "Oh, it's Young Wan! Haha, you haven't been to our house for drinks recently."
Wan Yunting smiled and said, "The clinic has been quite busy lately. Elder Gu and I will definitely visit you some other day and have a good drink with you."
"Good, good, good."
Gu Shiren nodded, his face full of joy, and then asked, "Are you also here to see that foreign ambassador?"
"Foreign ambassador?"
Wan Yunting's expression faltered, and he became confused. Gu Shiren said, "Yes, an ambassador from the UK. He suddenly fell ill. Old Liu and Old Xue all came this morning, but they said the ambassador was critically ill, so they called me over."
Wan Yunting's expression was stunned. It turned out that Li Yuxiu probably asked him to come over because of this matter!
"Grandfather..."
Gu Zichen and Liu He hurried over, but upon seeing Wan Yunting, they were surprised, "Brother Wan?"
Seeing Liu He, Wan Yunting smiled and said, "Vice Chairman Liu, you're here too. Zichen, long time no see."
"Brother Wan," Gu Zichen also nodded in greeting and went to support his grandfather, Gu Shiren, saying, "Let's go up quickly. Everyone is waiting for you."
"Mm, Young Wan, let's go," Gu Shiren turned and smiled.
"Okay, I'll support you."
Wan Yunting also stepped forward to support him. Gu Shiren waved his hand and laughed heartily, "Haha, no need. Although I'm old, I don't need anyone to support me yet. I can walk by myself..."
Liu He narrowed his eyes and, walking beside them, couldn't help but ask, "Brother Wan, are you also here to see Ambassador Will? Who invited you?"
Wan Yunting glanced sideways at Liu He and smiled, "Didn't Vice Chairman Liu invite me?"
"Me?" Liu He's expression faltered, and he chuckled, "Brother Wan, you are truly joking..."
"Heh heh."
Wan Yunting also chuckled and couldn't be bothered with him anymore.
Soon, the group arrived at the high-class ward. Gu Zichen pushed open the door and invited his grandfather in. The colleagues present saw Gu Zichen and respectfully called out, "Elder Gu, you've arrived..."
"Hmm, why is he here too?" Tian Xiangrong, Zhang Shunchang, Xue Tonghua, and others saw Wan Yunting and were astonished and confused.
"Whoa, everyone's here..."
Wan Yunting saw the group of famous traditional Chinese medicine doctors from the capital gathered there. He smiled and greeted those he knew, "Elder Liu, Elder Xue..."
Liu Pingyi, Xue Dongshan, and Li Tiangui raised their eyebrows, wondering why Wan Yunting was here. But since he had greeted them proactively, they naturally nodded...
"Elder Gu, you're finally here." Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Gu Xintang quickly stepped forward, took Gu Shiren's old hand, and said solemnly, "This matter is very serious. Please, Elder Gu, you must save Ambassador Will."
Gu Shiren waved his hand and said, "Let me go in and take a look first."
"Okay, please come in quickly..." Gu Xintang personally led Gu Shiren to push open the ward door, and Wan Yunting naturally followed. Then, Liu He frowned and called out, "Brother Wan, please stop. You should just watch from outside."
As soon as he said this, everyone's gaze turned to Wan Yunting. He stopped and glanced sideways at Liu He. Gu Xintang noticed him and said in surprise, "Are you Wan Yunting from the Ouyang family?"
Wan Yunting didn't recognize Gu Xintang but politely nodded with a smile.
Gu Xintang was delighted and said, "I've heard of your great reputation for a long time. I've heard that many people have sought you out for treatment recently, and all were cured immediately. Since you're here, why don't you go in with Elder Gu to see Ambassador Will?"
"Alright."
Wan Yunting smiled and nodded, then looked back at Liu He with a provocative gaze, a faint smile on his lips, and ignored him. He followed behind Gu Shiren and entered the spacious ward...
As the ward door closed, Liu He's face immediately turned grim...
