The head of the savings bank reported to the police. As Xiao Ming and Long Xiao were about to leave, he stopped them.
“You two have helped us tremendously. Could you wait for the police to arrive? I’ll recommend you for merit.”
Long Xiao shook his head and said, “Your security guard was being dutiful. This merit should belong to him.”
The savings bank director had seen Xiao Ming and Long Kui standing and chatting earlier. By saying this, Long Xiao clearly intended to give the credit to the security guard.
“Alright, I understand. You two have a good day.” The director respectfully escorted them to the door and opened the glass door for them.
After getting into the car, Long Xiao drove for a while, then parked on the roadside. He pondered for a moment and asked, “Xiao Ming, did you notice my father’s expression just now?”
Xiao Ming replied, “I was watching the robbers, I didn’t look at Grandpa.”
“When facing robbers, my father didn’t seem flustered at all.”
Xiao Ming thought about it and nodded, saying, “It does seem so. I feel like Grandpa must have been through many big situations before.”
“I have that feeling too,” Long Xiao said.
Xiao Ming and Long Xiao returned to Xinglin Caotang. Tong Hui came out of the house with a paternity test report.
“Boss, the test results are out. They are father and daughter,” Tong Hui handed the paternity test report to Long Xiao.
Long Xiao carefully examined the report and immediately called Luo Bao, informing him of the results.
Upon hearing the result, Luo Bao was extremely excited and immediately brought people to Xinglin Caotang.
“She is truly my daughter. This is wonderful, I’ve finally found her.” Luo Bao was as excited as a child.
“Don’t get too happy yet,” Long Xiao looked at Luo Bao and said, “Mr. Luo, your daughter has memory problems. She doesn’t recognize you right now.”
Hearing Long Xiao’s words, Luo Bao’s joyous expression vanished instantly. He said, “Master Long, I’ve heard that you are not only a skilled doctor but also a master of metaphysics. Please help my daughter.”
Long Xiao glanced at the elderly man beside Luo Bao and the four bodyguards behind them. “Mr. Luo, there’s something I need to tell you alone.”
Luo Bao asked the elder and the four bodyguards to step back. Long Xiao lowered his voice and said, “Mr. Luo, do you know that a lotus flower has been planted inside Yu Ru?”
As he spoke, Long Xiao kept his eyes on Luo Bao, observing his expression. He suspected that Luo Bao knew about the lotus flower inside Luo Yan and that it was related to the Luo family.
Luo Bao’s face showed surprise. “There’s a lotus flower inside Yu Ru? How is that possible? How can a lotus be planted inside a person?”
“I also thought it was impossible, but there is indeed a lotus inside her, and it contains immense power. I’ve temporarily suppressed the growth of the lotus with my vital energy, but it won’t last long. You need to find a solution as soon as possible.”
“What will happen if the lotus continues to grow?” Luo Bao asked worriedly.
Long Xiao shook his head. “I don’t know either. This is the first time I’ve encountered such a situation.”
Now that Luo Yan not only had amnesia but also a lotus inside her, Luo Bao felt a wave of bitterness.
The joy of finding his daughter was suppressed by this sudden news, and he couldn’t feel happy at all.
After a moment of silence, Long Xiao said, “Mr. Luo, the vital energy I’m using to suppress the lotus growth inside Luo Yan could fail at any moment. Therefore, I suggest she temporarily stay at Xinglin Caotang.”
Luo Bao looked at Long Xiao. “Master Long, perhaps I should take Yu Ru for a check-up to see if the hospital can help with the lotus inside her?”
“It’s up to you to decide about your daughter. If she is in danger, inform me as soon as possible, and I will do my best to help her.”
After their discussion, Long Xiao took Luo Bao to find Luo Yan.
Luo Yan was helping out. She was silent after seeing the鉴定 results.
Luo Bao said, “Yu Ru, I’ll take you to the hospital for a check-up. Perhaps there’s a way to remove the lotus inside you.”
Luo Yan shook her head slightly. “Can you tell me about my past?”
Long Xiao found a private room for the Luo father and daughter to be alone, and he took Tong Hui to the backyard.
The dozen or so hospital rooms in the backyard were all occupied by terminally ill cancer patients.
After staying for a few days, these patients felt much better than before. Within ten days, some secretly went to the hospital for examinations and found that their tumors had shrunk to varying degrees.
Now, everyone acknowledged Long Xiao’s treatment methods and trusted him implicitly.
He prescribed medicine for everyone again and gave them individual instructions on their daily routines.
Tong Hui followed Long Xiao, recording all the prescriptions, and he also kept detailed notes of what Long Xiao said to each patient.
Long Xiao’s medical skills were improving rapidly. Now, as long as the illness wasn’t immediately life-threatening, he no longer needed to use his own vital energy.
Returning to the front yard, Long Xiao saw Mi Tianfu pointing and discussing with some construction workers, holding blueprints. Upon seeing Long Xiao, Mi Tianfu quickly handed him the construction blueprints and asked for his opinion.
Long Xiao returned the blueprints without even looking at them. “Brother, you handle the renovation of the clinic. I know you’ll do a great job.”
Mi Tianfu took the blueprints back. “Long Xiao, it will be completed in a month. The first courtyard will be for initial consultations, and serious illnesses will come here. Minor ailments will be treated and sent home directly.”
Long Xiao nodded. Mi Tianfu continued, “You need to quickly arrange for diagnostic equipment and hire operators. Also, our pharmacy needs to be established quickly, and the necessary equipment should be purchased in advance.”
Transforming a small clinic into a large medical hall was something Long Xiao lacked experience in, so he delegated these matters to Tong Hui and Xue Meiqin.
Mi Tianfu took the construction workers to the adjacent courtyard. Luo Bao and Luo Yan came out of the room.
“Brother Long, I’ve decided to return to Beijing with my father for a while. Thank you for your trouble during this period.”
“You’re welcome,” Long Xiao smiled and said, “It’s good to go back and visit. If your health deteriorates, contact me immediately.”
As Luo Bao was about to leave with Luo Yan, he took a bank card out of his pocket and handed it to Long Xiao.
Long Xiao looked at the bank card and shook his head. “Yan’er and I are friends, so there’s no need for payment.”
Luo Yan took the bank card from Luo Bao and put it into Long Xiao’s hand. “Brother Long, this is for my meals during this time. Thank you for saving me. I’ll come back after a while. I like the feeling of being by your side.”
Long Xiao escorted Luo Bao and Luo Yan to the door and watched them get into the car. Luo Yan’s reluctant gaze made Long Xiao feel a little uncomfortable.
Watching the car drive away, Long Xiao turned back into the courtyard of Xinglin Caotang. Just as he was about to help with patients, his phone rang.
Seeing that it was Lin Xuan’s number, he quickly answered.
“Wife, miss me?” Long Xiao asked with a smile.
“Stop being silly. I need you for something. Come to the Xuanxiao Group building immediately. I’ll be waiting for you in my office.”
Lin Xuan’s voice was urgent, indicating she was clearly in trouble and couldn’t discuss it over the phone.
“Okay, I’m coming right away.”
