“Mengmeng, what’s wrong?”

“Grandpa, I have something to tell you...”

After listening to Du Mengnan, Du Gang’s expression became extremely serious, his eyes flickering, clearly deep in thought.

He knew about the Pengcheng First People's Hospital, which was the best hospital in the region, with doctors renowned not just in China but worldwide.

He also knew about the incident last year, where a person declared by experts to have no chance of survival miraculously lived, a medical miracle.

A person with no hope of recovery, even through plastic surgery, had their appearance restored and their lame leg healed through traditional Chinese medicine.

If this story were told, no one would believe it, but he trusted his granddaughter. Though she was often forgetful, she never lied. He believed what she said.

A child who had visited all major and minor hospitals in the country without any improvement was now able to stand and walk again, thanks to this young man.

Both of these events were beyond the norm, miracles within miracles, and both happened to the same person. This indicated that the young man possessed extraordinary skills in traditional Chinese medicine.

If it were himself, he would have no hesitation in bringing the young man over, but his old leader was not an ordinary person. Even renowned traditional and Western doctors had to go through rigorous vetting to gain access to that family. He could take the young man there, but if anything went wrong, he would be a sinner for eternity.

“Mengmeng, this is a serious matter. Let me discuss it.”

“Grandpa, Grandma Luo has been given a critical notice. I can vouch for Zhao Xinyu’s character. He said his medical skills were taught by his grandfather. The ointment I gave to Grandma Luo and her family was also prepared by Zhao Xinyu.”

Du Gang was slightly taken aback, a hint of surprise in his eyes. “You mean the ointment you used was prepared by him?”

“Yes.”

Du Gang’s eyes flickered. “Alright, go find that child immediately and take him to the airport. Remember, don’t tell him who he’s going to see.”

At the gap in the east wall, Zhao Xinyu was standing as usual, watching people fishing. In the courtyard, Jiang Fei and Qu Qianfan were helping Jiang Pengxin with his rehabilitation training.

Unlike before, although Jiang Pengxin still couldn’t put weight on his legs, he could at least stand, though only for a minute or two.

Even so, Jiang Fei and Qu Qianfan were thrilled, knowing that previously, he couldn’t stand even for a second.

“Brother Jiang, Sister Qian, where’s Zhao Xinyu?”

The three turned their heads, seeing Du Mengnan return with a serious expression, having just left not long ago.

Jiang Fei pointed to the east wall. “Xinyu is watching people fish.”

Before he could finish, Du Mengnan rushed to the east wall, leaving Jiang Fei and Qu Qianfan exchanging puzzled looks, unsure of what was going on with Du Mengnan.

“Zhao Xinyu, come with me quickly,” outside the east wall, Zhao Xinyu saw Du Mengnan approach. He was about to ask what happened, but Du Mengnan didn’t give him a chance, pulling him away without a word.

Only when he was pulled into the car did Zhao Xinyu have a chance to speak. “Mengmeng, where are we going?”

“One of my elders is sick. I need you to come and see them.”

“Ah,” Zhao Xinyu was taken aback. He could tell that Du Mengnan came from a distinguished family. For her to ask him, who didn’t even have a medical license, to treat her sick elder, he was truly at a loss.

“Who is it?”

“Don’t ask. When you get there, don’t ask any questions. Just focus on the treatment. If you’re confident, treat them. If not, don’t say anything.”

This left Zhao Xinyu even more confused, but he could tell that the situation was serious.

At the Pengcheng airport, Zhao Xinyu was completely bewildered. “Mengmeng, I don’t even have my ID.”

“You don’t need to worry about it.”

At the airport entrance, Zhao Xinyu saw two middle-aged men with stern expressions. They were dressed simply, but Zhao Xinyu sensed a killing aura from them. Their waists were bulging, and he guessed that Du Mengnan came from a powerful family.

At the security checkpoint, the middle-aged men showed their credentials, and Du Mengnan and Zhao Xinyu were allowed through without any checks. What shocked Zhao Xinyu even more was that there were only eleven people on the plane: an elderly man with white hair, a middle-aged man, and nine other stern-faced middle-aged men, all with bulging waists.

“Zhao Xinyu, this is my grandfather.”

“Hello, sir. I’m Zhao Xinyu,” though he had guessed that the old man was important, Zhao Xinyu remained calm and composed.

Du Gang was taken aback by Zhao Xinyu’s reaction. He had already investigated Zhao Xinyu when Du Mengnan went to fetch him, as Du Mengnan had described.

As Du Mengnan said, Zhao Xinyu came from a humble background, living with his brother and grandfather. His brother, Zhao Xinxing, was a troublemaker, and the money Zhao Xinyu earned from hard work was mostly spent by Zhao Xinxing. His grandfather had recently passed away in an accident.

He had expected Zhao Xinyu to be obsequious, but instead, Zhao Xinyu was composed and calm, which piqued Du Gang’s curiosity. He wondered what kind of person could raise such a child.

When Du Gang looked at Zhao Xinyu, his eyes narrowed, seeing a familiar figure in him.

Shaking his head, Du Gang’s eyes returned to Zhao Xinyu, his heart pounding. How could there be such a similar person in the world?

He looked at his granddaughter, Du Mengnan, feeling a pang of sadness. “You must be Zhao Xinyu. Come, sit down. Let’s talk about your studies in traditional Chinese medicine.”

While asking about Zhao Xinyu’s studies with his grandfather, Du Gang also inquired about his background.

When he heard that Zhao Xinyu and his brother Zhao Xinxing were orphans raised by their grandfather, Du Gang felt a strange sensation, though his face remained calm despite the turmoil in his heart.

“Zhao Xinyu, what was your grandfather’s name?”

“Zhao Lu, but my grandfather said that wasn’t his real name. He said a name is just a symbol, and no one remembers it once they leave a place.”

Du Gang nodded. “Mengmeng told me that your culinary and medical skills were passed down from your grandfather, and that Drunken Linglong was also brewed by him.”

“Yes.”

“Since your grandfather had such skills, why was your life...”

Zhao Xinyu sighed and shook his head. “My grandfather said money is a deadly poison. As long as we don’t starve, it’s fine. He never treated anyone and never let me show my culinary or medical skills.”

This made Du Gang frown. “Your brother...”

“He’s different. He never showed interest in these things. My grandfather didn’t force him.”

Zhao Xinyu’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Du Gang. “How did you know I have a brother?”

Du Gang smiled faintly. “I have a junior at the First People's Hospital. He saw your brother when the incident happened.”

Hearing this, Zhao Xinyu’s face darkened. For years, he had been exploited by his brother, thinking it was his duty as an older brother. But at the hospital, Zhao Xinxing took the 50,000 yuan compensation without any regard for family ties, which left Zhao Xinyu deeply disappointed.

When his grandfather had an accident, though the grandfather said he fell, Zhao Xinyu didn’t believe it. Zhao Xinxing was there at the time, which made him even more suspicious. When the grandfather passed away, the villagers called Zhao Xinxing, but he never came back.

Though the grandfather had asked him to take care of Zhao Xinxing on his deathbed, Zhao Xinyu had already lost all hope in his brother.
