Zhu Yanyi suspected there might be a special patient here.
After dinner, Gu Jingtian took Zhu Yanyi away. Dong Bocao seemed unsurprised. She just waved to Luoyang Jun and the others, telling them to keep shopping. Zhu Yanyi wondered if it was her imagination, but Dong Bocao’s shopping seemed just as intense as any woman’s. She loved to browse and loved to buy, acting almost crazy.
Gu Jingtian put Zhu Yanyi in a taxi. After telling the driver where to go, she looked at Zhu Yanyi and asked, "Aren't you afraid I’ll sell you?"
Zhu Yanyi glanced at Gu Jingtian. "First, you are my senior brother. Second, Senior Brother Yaonie wasn’t curious about me going with you. That means you both know where I’m going. Places you both care about usually involve patients. So, you must be taking me to see a patient."
Gu Jingtian gave Zhu Yanyi a thumbs-up. "Little Junior Sister, how did you grow such a smart head? You guessed it right."
"It’s so simple, of course I guessed it. My head isn’t just filled with tofu; it has knowledge too," Zhu Yanyi said, feeling amused. She didn’t understand why she needed to praise her for this.
Gu Jingtian spoke seriously. "The family I’m taking you to today is the Huang family. In the 1920s, they were once the dominant power in Mingzhu City. But when the world became chaotic, they stopped fighting for power and moved their whole family to this country. The person I’m taking you to see is the current head of the Huang family, Huang Yongtian."
Gu Jingtian shared what he knew. "Huang Yongtian is seventy-three years old. In this land full of gold, he showed everyone what true genius means. He is very respected among overseas Chinese. If overseas Chinese face difficulties here, they often ask him for help."
Zhu Yanyi understood a bit more. "So, she is a patriotic overseas Chinese."
"Yes," Gu Jingtian continued. "Five years ago, he survived an assassination attempt. He wasn’t hurt, but for some reason, he suddenly went blind. Doctors from all over the world couldn’t help him. This case wouldn’t have come to me, but you are too amazing. You cured blood cancer, a terminal illness. So, they had hope and came to me. I thought, let you see him. It’s good for you."
Zhu Yanyi understood what Gu Jingtian meant. They came to this country to promote Traditional Chinese Medicine. If she could cure Huang Yongtian, it would show everyone the power of TCM.
Zhu Yanyi tilted her head and looked at Gu Jingtian. "Senior Brother, your medical skills are good too. Why did it come to me?" Zhu Yanyi knew Gu Jingtian had mastered the Thirteen Needles of Reviving Withered Wood. She could solve many difficult cases.
Gu Jingtian smiled. "Little Junior Sister, this opportunity should be yours." Gu Jingtian knew better than anyone that China needed a figure of faith in medicine. Right now, Zhu Yanyi was the most suitable person. "Also, I really can’t do it."
Zhu Yanyi nodded. She understood Gu Jingtian’s intentions, so she didn’t refuse. "Okay, since that’s the case, I’ll give it a try."
Actually, Zhu Yanyi was very interested in any difficult disease. Solving a difficult case meant creating new hope for humanity.
