"Xiao Dong... you..."

Xu Weiguo stood at the doorway for a long time, having watched the entire scene of Xu Dong saving someone with a silver needle. 520 official website

Now, seeing Xu Dong come out, he opened his mouth, hesitating to speak, unsure of what to say.

"Dad, I'll explain when we get home. Things are a bit complicated," Xu Dong stepped forward and said in a low voice.

"I assume this must be Mr. Xu's father. To raise such an outstanding son, you must be a great teacher!"

Li Deyuan sighed with emotion, bowing respectfully to Xu Weiguo.

Xu Weiguo was somewhat dazed, asking incredulously, "Just now, was that my son?"

"Indeed! Old Mr. Su was beyond saving, but Mr. Xu's miraculous hands brought him back to life with the Nine Turns Reviving Yang Needle Technique. Even I am far inferior to him in this skill. You really have a talented son!" Li Deyuan replied, praising Xu Dong endlessly.

Xu Weiguo felt a wave of comfort after hearing this, patting Xu Dong's shoulder hard and saying after a long pause, "Good, good, good! You've done well, son! I knew it, a golden talent will shine wherever it goes!"

"Dad!" Xu Dong was also touched inside.

"Let's go! Your mother has woken up, let's go home!"

Xu Weiguo spoke, his words filled with uncontainable excitement.

Originally, he thought Xu Dong would be disheartened by Song Yu's affair, but seeing Xu Dong save someone today, his worries vanished instantly.

Afterward, Li Deyuan personally escorted Xu Dong's family out of the hospital and had his driver take them home.

"Director Li, thank you!" Xu Dong said from inside the car.

"No problem, drive safely!" Li Deyuan smiled.

In the car, Xu Weiguo animatedly recounted the scene of Xu Dong saving someone to Wang Mei.

Wang Mei, after hearing this, also looked at Xu Dong with joy, praising her son for his achievements.

After returning home, Wang Mei prepared a table full of dishes to celebrate the family's reunion.

At the dinner table, Xu Weiguo stared intently at Xu Dong, feeling that Xu Dong seemed to be hiding something from him.

Xu Dong, feeling uneasy under his father's gaze, asked stiffly, "Dad, what's wrong? Why are you staring at me like that?"

"Xiao Dong, tell the truth, are you hiding something from us? I remember you didn't know any medical skills before you went to prison," Xu Weiguo asked.

"Yes, Xiao Dong, did something happen during your four years in prison?" Wang Mei chimed in, now also curious.

After all, they were Xu Dong's parents and knew him well. The sudden acquisition of such medical skills could only mean something significant happened during his time in prison.

Sure enough, Xu Dong, as if he had anticipated this, explained, "It's like this. In prison, I met an old traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. He was very skilled and knew he wouldn't be getting out, but didn't want to waste his medical knowledge, so he passed it all on to me. I have a good aptitude, so I learned a lot."

"Really?" Wang Mei asked excitedly.

"Really!"

Xu Dong said with certainty, but being the first time he lied to his parents, he felt a bit nervous.

However, Xu Weiguo and Wang Mei didn't notice, holding hands and saying excitedly, "That's wonderful! Our family finally has a remarkable person!"

"Yes, the hard times are over. We've worked hard for half our lives, and it wasn't in vain!"

As they spoke, their eyes welled up with tears of joy.

Seeing this, Xu Dong quickly comforted them. Once they calmed down, he took out the bank card given by Su Bo and handed it to Wang Mei, "Mom, the money for treating Old Mr. Su is on this card. You can use it to buy whatever you want!"

After all, the two elders had suffered a lot because of him. Now that Xu Dong had money, he wouldn't be stingy.

However, Wang Mei treated the card like a treasure, saying, "Why spend it? Save it for your wedding house and to get a wife. Now that we have money, we don't even want women like Song Yu!"

"You're right, my dear! Hahaha!"

The room was filled with a joyful atmosphere, a warm and harmonious scene.

After dinner, Xu Dong also asked his parents about the jade pendant, but they clearly didn't know much, only that it was something his great-grandfather had found at a street stall when he was young and had been passed down as a family heirloom.

Hearing this, Xu Dong didn't ask further. Later that night, he sat cross-legged in his room, the Heavenly Medical Canon's Heavenly Profound Technique appearing in his mind, and began his nightly cultivation.

The Heavenly Profound Technique is divided into ten levels, and Xu Dong was currently at the first level, just starting out.

Soon, a warm current flowed through his lower dantian, the qi sea point, and from there to his limbs and every part of his body, making him feel incredibly comfortable and refreshed, a truly amazing sensation.

After a night of cultivation, he felt as fresh as ever.

The next day, Xu Dong ran around the neighborhood, completing about ten laps, about eight or nine kilometers, without feeling tired or breaking a sweat.

"Indeed, it's a good thing!" Xu Dong couldn't help but marvel.

Throughout the day, Xu Dong spent his time in the house, cultivating the Heavenly Profound Technique and studying medical texts, tirelessly until late in the evening. He then ended his cultivation and headed to the Mingzhu Grand Hotel.

The Mingzhu Grand Hotel is the largest and most luxurious five-star hotel in Donghai City, and it was fully booked for a business banquet.

Due to the high standards of the banquet, small companies were not even on the invitation list.

Seeing the luxury cars parked at the entrance and the business elites chatting and laughing, Xu Dong couldn't help but sigh. If he hadn't gone to prison for Song Yu, he would certainly be among them.

Shaking his head, Xu Dong was about to enter the hotel.

However, a doorman at the entrance stopped him, "Sir, may I see your invitation?"

"Sorry, I don't have an invitation. I was invited by Mr. Su."

The doorman sized Xu Dong up, seeing his street stall clothes, and immediately showed a look of disdain, then asked coldly, "Which Mr. Su?"

"Huafeng Pharmaceutical, Mr. Su Bo."

Hearing that Xu Dong was invited by Su Bo, the doorman couldn't help but laugh, "Ha, you? Mr. Su would invite you? What a joke! Wearing street stall clothes and pretending to be here, I've seen plenty of people like you. Get lost!"

Previously, he had encountered many poor people pretending to be friends of celebrities, trying to sneak into the hotel for a free meal. He naturally categorized Xu Dong with them.

Even a short, fat man preparing to enter the hotel couldn't resist mocking, "Hmph, a poor guy claiming to be invited by Mr. Su, really trying to save face!"

"Exactly, every year we encounter a few shameless people, just like clowns."

"Get lost, don't block our way!"

The entrance to the hotel was filled with mocking voices, and the looks in their eyes were full of disdain.

"Mr. Xu is my guest, who dares to drive him away?!"

Suddenly, a voice rang out, and everyone turned to see Su Bo arriving.
