Among these people, Pang Wenxian, who was worldly-wise, had already noticed that this three-way brotherhood was not simple.

The most important one, however, was the young man with Lin Lao. Could he also be a profound physician?

This was a significant matter.

According to Chinese etiquette, those attending the ceremony should present a gift.

But now, with nothing valuable to offer and unable to give money, even if they did, the elderly would not accept it. However, this had to be mentioned!

"Old Chief, we are honored to witness your brotherhood ceremony, which rivals the Peach Garden Oath. But I came in a hurry and should have prepared a small gift. Uh, please let Young Master Rong bring it tomorrow."

Gu Meiyun was about to speak, but was preempted by the worldly-wise Pang, leaving her slightly displeased.

Li Desheng's face darkened, "What to send! I lack nothing, we appreciate your intentions, now go and get busy! Third Brother, I won't see you off, but if my head hurts again, I'll call you!"

Zhao Zhiqiang smiled, "Alright, Big Brother, with me here, you'll definitely sleep well." He was confident that the spiritual energy had taken effect in the meridians, and now it seemed that the elderly Li Desheng was in good spirits.

At this moment, everyone realized that this young man was indeed a doctor...

Lin Shoushan suddenly thought that the Qi-guiding technique was not easy to learn. Perhaps his medical skills would be easier for the third brother to learn?

"Third Brother, I want to teach you the acupuncture techniques for treating headaches and the kidney meridian. Perhaps it will be better for you to treat Big Brother?"

"Hehe, Second Brother, why wouldn't I want to learn? I thank you, Brother. Why don't you teach me now?" He was even more eager than Lin Lao, as with this medical master leading him, combining acupuncture with Qi-guiding, he could study more efficiently how to use Qi-guiding in treatment.

"Hmm..."

The three who had just been dismissed immediately returned to the main living room.

At this moment, everyone outside finally understood.

Li Yuan looked at Zhao Zhiqiang, realizing that this person was not someone who schemed or flattered his father. Instead, it seemed that his father was deliberately protecting him.

He put aside his guard and felt ashamed of his previous thoughts.

Gu Meiyun, Pang, He, and others knew that Lin Lao had been in seclusion for decades and had never heard of him having disciples. They never expected that he would now be eager for the young man to learn from him.

This person... was extraordinary.

They must thoroughly investigate who he is.

...

A few minutes later, Lin Shoushan led Zhao Zhiqiang out of the 001 high-ranking cadre sanatorium. Zhao Zhiqiang then saw that the entrance sign read "Linzhou Cadre Retirement Home," which was connected to the city hospital through a small gate.

Li Shangbo had already asked the hospital staff, and Aunt Zhao had been discharged. The hospital wanted to send her off, but she was taken away by a wealthy businessman named Gu Quanyou.

"Little Li, you said Gu Quanyou? The boss of Jinda Company?"

Gu Meiyun, who had hastily bought a few hundred yuan worth of gifts, was surprised because Gu Quanyou was her cousin.

Li Shangbo, who was interning in the Organization Department of the southern city, knew a bit about his beautiful superior, "Yes. I specifically asked, and it's correct, they helped with the discharge..."

"Oh." Gu Meiyun took out a small phone, found the number, and dialed. After a few rings, the call was answered.

"Big Brother, did you pick up Comrade Zhao Zhiqiang's mother?"

"Where are you now?"

After a few words, the even more surprised Gu Meiyun met Zhao Zhiqiang, who was about to get into Lin Lao's car.

"Old Lin, Master Zhao, I just called. Aunt has been taken home by my brother and sister-in-law. So, shall we go directly to the house?"

Zhao Zhiqiang remembered the matter with Chen Liqin and Gu Quanyou, but he didn't expect Gu Quanyou to be her brother!

"Oh, that's the case, Second Brother, then you go back to Bincheng directly. I'll visit you during the New Year. I'll accompany the two leaders back to the village. Since my mother has been discharged and is home, there's no need for so much trouble."

Lin Lao thought for a moment, "Hmm, that's fine. But when you come to Bincheng, bring your mother. We'll discuss that plan together."

"Okay, I'll follow Second Brother's advice."

"Hmm," Lin Shoushan was greatly pleased.

Wonderful, wonderful, a thousand-year-old technique, turning decay into magic!

"Remember, I've already asked Tian Ren and Lin Xueqian to prepare the medicine. They will deliver it tomorrow. When it arrives, try the acupuncture first according to the method we discussed. Maybe surgery won't be necessary."

Li Desheng, who was seeing them off, also knew that Zhao Zhiqiang would use the Qi-guiding technique to treat the illness, "Hmm, be careful, take it step by step. If it doesn't work, I'll be the first to try, hahaha, I have plenty of illnesses anyway!"

Others couldn't understand what they were talking about, as it seemed related to treatment, and it wasn't appropriate to interrupt. They waited for Lin Shoushan's car to arrive and sent him off first.

The middle-aged uncle, however, smiled and said to Zhao Zhiqiang, "If I have the time, I really want to spar with you..."

"Spar? What to spar, you know, now I, Old Li, and Little Zhao are sworn brothers, you should call me Uncle!"

!!!

"Uncle, please accept my bow!" The middle-aged uncle did not hesitate, about to perform the three-kowtow salute.

How could Zhao Zhiqiang let a man in his forties kneel?

With a light push, he smiled, "Hehe, we are sworn brothers through medicine and martial arts, no need for such formalities. I still need to learn medicine from Second Brother, and martial arts from you. I've only learned some combat techniques and have a bit of strength."

This strength...

The middle-aged uncle, who weighed nearly 180 pounds, couldn't move at all!

It was not just brute strength; he was being modest!

"Hehe, we're all family, no need for formalities. He's called Su Ya, also a descendant of an old friend, with excellent martial arts skills, a former soldier and bodyguard, and has been with me ever since. Su Ya's idea is also good. When Third Brother goes to Bincheng, we have a martial arts school there. I haven't seen your skills yet!"

"Right, I heard you were a weapons specialist. Ha, I might test your gun skills!" Li Desheng suddenly thought of this.

Su Ya drove, and Lin Lao left.

"Phone number?"

Li Desheng rarely used a phone, pulling out an antique second-generation Ericsson, fiddling with it for a while, and preparing to write down the number, "Hehe, Old Lin didn't even ask for a phone number, he's so happy!"

"Uh, I don't have a phone..."

Zhao Zhiqiang really didn't have a phone, as he had been sick at home after leaving the military and hadn't gotten one.

"Use mine, I have one!"

Gu Meiyun immediately turned around and took a black smartphone from her handbag in the car.

"This is the one my brother just bought for my father. My father thinks the text is too small and unclear, so it's perfect for Teacher Zhao. Old Chief, please give me your number, and I'll call you back."
