The Zhao family thug grunted, "You, you don't get arrogant. Our Nanshan Zhao family is dominant in the medical field. Even the Prefect of Jiangcheng is polite to our elder."
Qin Yexuan tightened his grip slightly, and the kid immediately wet himself. "Sir, sir, please don't. I surrender, I surrender. I'll take you to see the elder right now."
At this moment, Zhao Shuanghe was in his Nanshan villa, warmly entertaining distinguished guests.
Seated at the head of the table was Qi Changhe, the head of the Health Protection Bureau.
To his left and right were Yuan Nanqiu, a prominent figure in Jiangcheng's medical community, and Divine Doctor Fan, representing the Divine Doctor Hall.
Several influential figures in Jiangcheng's medical circles were present.
Qi Changhe raised his wine glass and said calmly, "I understand the Nanshan Zhao family plans to establish themselves in Jiangcheng. As long as you operate legitimately and practice medicine according to the Health Protection Bureau's regulations, we naturally support you."
Zhao Shuanghe, standing beside him, chuckled, "Thank you, Director Qi, for your support. Come, everyone, let's have a toast."
They all drank.
Qi Changhe continued, "The position of the head of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital is crucial, and your Zhao family's Zhao Qingshan is likely not qualified."
This…
Zhao Shuanghe forced a smile, "He is a bit lacking in experience, but with the resources of our Nanshan Zhao family behind Zhao Qingshan, we will be able to lead Jiangcheng's Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital to further development."
It was the Zhao family's resources that Jiangcheng's medical community valued.
Qi Changhe pondered for a moment, "Alright, I will report this matter to my superiors for consideration."
He then couldn't help but look at Divine Doctor Fan, "If the Divine Doctor Hall could send a master to oversee things, I would be most grateful."
Divine Doctor Fan smiled, "The Divine Doctor Hall currently has no suitable candidates."
In reality, the Divine Doctor Hall didn't think much of a mere Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.
Zhao Shuanghe's face grew awkward. Qi Changhe directly appealing to the Divine Doctor Hall in front of him truly showed little regard for the Nanshan Zhao family.
However, he was the head of the Health Protection Bureau. No matter how influential Jiangcheng's medical community was, it was ultimately under his jurisdiction.
He could only use drinking to mask his discomfort.
At that very moment, a loud thud was heard from outside.
Everyone turned to look, and a bruised and swollen figure tumbled in.
"Elder, I, I was caught by that guy named Qin. All three waves of people we sent to watch him were dealt with. He, he forced me to lead him here. I've failed you, you, you must seek justice for me!"
His words were incoherent.
Zhao Shuanghe's face turned ashen, "Useless! Throw him out. Since that Qin fellow is seeking death, then our Nanshan Zhao family will wait for him!"
"Hold on!" Qi Changhe frowned. "What exactly happened? Your Zhao family sent three waves of people to watch him? Who is that person? What is the grievance?"
Zhao Shuanghe then quietly recounted the matter of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, of course, embellishing the story. All fault lay with Su Mingyue and that Qin fellow, while the Zhao family was the victim.
Before he could finish, Yuan Nanqiu, the elder immortal, couldn't help but interject, "That guy named Qin? What's his name? The specific name?"
Yuan Nanqiu had been extremely cautious since his previous encounter with Qin Yexuan. The mention of the surname Qin made his heart pound.
Please don't be Mr. Qin…
Please don't be Mr. Qin…
Yuan Nanqiu silently repeated to himself.
Across from him, Divine Doctor Fan of the Divine Doctor Hall also felt a pang of anxiety.
"Please don't be my Master, please, please don't be my Master…"
"If Zhao Shuanghe has offended my Master, and I'm here drinking with the Zhao family, then it's truly over for me!"
These two were already like startled birds, their hands beginning to tremble.
Qi Changhe, seated at the head of the table, however, felt a sense of anticipation.
"Could it be Mr. Qin?"
"That would be wonderful. Jiangcheng's medical field has been in chaos lately. Mr. Qin himself is a divine doctor. If he could intervene, my work would be much easier."
Qi Changhe stood up abruptly. "Zhao Shuanghe, hurry up and tell me, what is that gentleman's name?"
