Chapter 427 - First Time In the Capital
“Divine Doctor Tang!” Old Master He’s voice was heard from the other end of the call.
“Is there anything, Old Master He?” Tang Hao was surprised.
Something important must have come up for Old Master He to call him personally.
Old Master He laughed and said, “Where are you now? Are you at the university?”
“No, I was just about to go there!” Tang Hao said.
“Alright, I’ll pick you up at the university entrance. There’s something that I want to discuss with you. It will be beneficial for you!”
Tang Hao was surprised when he heard that.
‘Beneficial for me?’
Old Master He hung up before he could ask any further questions.
Tang Hao reserved his questions for later and rushed to the university. When he neared the entrance, he noticed a black car parked at the side of the road.
He looked closely and saw Old Master He sitting inside.
As he walked near the car, Old Master He opened the car door.
After Tang Hao sat inside, Old Master He regarded him curiously.
“Is there anything, Old Master He?” Tang Hao was still surprised.
Old Master He smiled. “I’m just amazed that you even dare to beat up that Song kid.”
Tang Hao was surprised. “You know about it?”
“The circle isn’t big. News spreads very fast… Especially big news, such as how the Song kid was beaten up and Old Master Song had to fly to Provincial City in the middle of the night.”
Old Master He seemed emotional when he said that.
The Song family was an influential force in the country, but Divine Doctor Tang had beat up the Song family kid without hesitation. That was a bold move.
It made sense when Old Master He thought about it.
‘Divine Doctor Tang might be young, but he is very capable and accomplished, especially his medical skills. Rumor has it that he has supernatural abilities and has a title in the military.
‘Perhaps that is why the Song family would call for peace for now.
‘If it were anyone else, the Song family would have made sure that he would have been dead by now. There aren’t many people in the entire Huaxia that the Song family can’t touch.’
“So you know everything!” Tang Hao smiled sheepishly.
“That’s why I’m here to look for you today. I thought that I ought to help you!” Old Master He said.
“Oh?” Tang Hao was confused.
“The Song family is very influential. They might not do anything to you for now, but if they decide to give you trouble again in the future, you’ll be at a disadvantage, Divine Doctor Tang!
“That’s why I was thinking of introducing you to some other people…”
Old Master He paused for a while. “Divine Doctor Tang, have you heard of… the Zhou family?”
“The Zhou family?”
Tang Hao furrowed his brows and thought about it. Then, his eyes widened.
He heard of the Zhou family before. They were a big and influential family in the Capital, just like the Song family.
One could say that the Song and Zhou families were about equal in power.
“I’ve heard about them!” Tang Hao nodded.
“Alright, I’ll skip the exposition then! The Zhou family has a grudge with the Song family, and they’ve never liked each other. That’s why I’m thinking of introducing you to the Zhou family, and what do you know, the best opportunity presented itself.
“Old Master Zhou is older than me by a few years. You should know that old people easily get sick. He hasn’t been in the prime of his health for a long time, and recently he’s been diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer. There’s no cure for that.”
Tang Hao understood what Old Master He was trying to do.
Old Master He continued, “The Zhou family is anxious now. After all, Old Master Zhou is the patriarch of the family, and losing him would be a huge blow.
“They’ve gathered many experts and renowned doctors this morning to find the best solution to treat Old Master Zhou. They don’t expect that the cancer to be fully cured, but they were hoping that the old master’s life could be extended somehow.
“So, what do you think about it, Divine Doctor Tang? Are you confident?”
Old Master He looked at Tang Hao expectantly.
“Lung cancer…” Tang Hao thought for a while. Eventually, he nodded.
Old Master He breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s great! Actually, Old Master Zhou is good friends with me. He was my superior back then, and we’ve always been in constant contact.
“Thanks to you, I can live for a few more years. I can’t bear to watch him leave before me. That’s the other reason why I invited you today. I hope you don’t mind my selfishness!”
He sounded apologetic when he said that.
“Don’t be sorry, Old Master He. Right, are we going to the Capital now?” Tang Hao said.
Old Master He nodded.
Very soon, the two people got on a plane and flew toward the Capital.
The Capital was the political nexus of Huaxia. It was not as economically developed as River Delta City but was just as crowded and bustling.
After they got off the plane at the Capital airport, a car was already waiting for them on the runway.
The car door opened, and a man dressed in a white shirt and slacks stepped out of the car. He was dressed rather plainly, but one could see that he carried a noble aura.
‘He looks like a high-ranking official!” Tang Hao thought.
There must be many high-ranking government officials in the Capital, and so it should not have been surprising to encounter one there. That person must have been from the Zhou family.
“Uncle He!” The man quickly walked over and greeted Old Master He.
He turned to look behind Old Master He and was surprised. “Where’s the divine doctor you were talking about Uncle He?”
He ignored Tang Hao and looked toward the door of the airplane.
Old Master He smiled. “Zhenghao, the divine doctor is right in front of your eyes!”
Zhou Zhenghao was surprised when he heard that. He looked around but did not fix his gaze on Tang Hao.
Old Master He laughed. He turned around and pointed at Tang Hao. “Look, here he is! Let me introduce you to him. He’s the Divine Doctor Tang that I’ve told you before.
“Divine Doctor Tang, this is Zhou Zhenghao, the third son of Old Master Zhou. He’s a minister!”
Zhou Zhenghao looked at Tang Hao.
He did not believe what he heard. “You must be joking, Uncle He! He’s a divine doctor? How is that possible?
“Don’t tell me… he’s a scammer?”
Old Master He smiled. “It’s normal for you to think that way, Zhenghao, but let me tell you, he is a bona fide divine doctor. He was the one who saved my life.
“I can only tell you that he is not a mundane person, and his medical skills are more than what mundane humans can achieve.”
Zhou Zhenghao furrowed his brows while looking at Tang Hao from head to toe.
He could not believe that the person who looked like a teenager was a divine doctor. However, there was no reason that Uncle He would lie to him. Perhaps the kid was quite capable after all!
“Whatever it is, let’s get into the car first. This way please, Uncle He!”
He turned around and helped Old Master He get into the car.
He glanced at Tang Hao as he stepped into the car. ‘We’ll see later if this kid is actually a divine doctor. There are so many renowned doctors today. He won’t be able to fool everyone’, he thought.
He then started the car and drove toward the Zhou family residence.
