"Old Liang!"

Just then, the director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine department suddenly walked over and said, "Vice Mayor Zhao is here. The hospital director would like to invite you over!"

Liang Zhenxing frowned. "What does Vice Mayor Zhao want with me? You all know I don't like socializing with those officials!"

Liang Zhenxing waved his hand impatiently.

The head of the Traditional Chinese Medicine department looked helpless and said, "It's not a social invitation for you, it's for Vice Mayor Zhao. He has a serious illness, and the Western medicine doctors can't help him. He would like to ask you to come and take a look!"

"What? Vice Mayor Zhao is sick?"

Everyone looked astonished.

Vice Mayor Zhao, Zhao Guangcai, is a former leader of Harbin.

Unlike other leaders, Zhao Guangcai rose through the ranks from the grassroots level in Harbin, making him a local leader. He did many practical things for the people and was a well-regarded leader among them.

Therefore, the news revealed by the director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine department surprised everyone.

Liang Zhenxing couldn't maintain his airs of being a grandmaster any longer, so he immediately said, "Alright, I'll go with you to take a look!"

"Grandpa, I want to go too!"

Afterwards, Liang Zhenxing and his grandson followed the head of the Traditional Chinese Medicine department to the dean's office.

The office was filled with smoke.

Dean Gao Qing personally lit a cigarette for a dignified old man wearing a dark blue jacket.

With a helpless smile, he said, "Old boss, the worst thing for your condition is smoking. You should have been more considerate!"

Cough cough!

Zhao Guangcai coughed twice, took a deep breath, and said, "I've been smoking my whole life, how can I quit! In the office, my secretary manages me; at home, my children and grandchildren manage me. What, you want to manage me here too?"

"Oh, old leader, what are you saying? I was just trying to help you, wasn't I?" Gao Qing cried out that he was wronged.

Zhao Guangcai waved his hand, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said, "I'm already this old, and now I have this illness. How many good days do I have left? I should smoke more!"

His words were filled with resentment and helplessness.

In fact, given Zhao Guangcai's age, he could have taken another step up the career ladder.

After all, he's an ambitious person! Besides, the retirement benefits for the head and deputy head positions are completely different, and if he can advance further, the impact on the family will be even greater.

I'm in my prime, I'm not willing to give up!

Gao Qing pursed his lips and advised, "Old leader, don't be discouraged. It's not like there's absolutely no chance of a cure. There are precedents for curing late-stage lung cancer!"

Zhao Guangcai smiled and sighed, "Xiao Gao, you don't need to comfort me. Last time I went to Beijing for a meeting, I went to see Harmony Hospital. They have all the top doctors there. They even gave me a critical condition notice. I know my situation perfectly well!"

Gao Qing looked helpless.

Having practiced medicine for so many years, he was used to seeing these things.

Illness will not yield to a person's identity.

Birth, aging, sickness, and death are the natural order of human life, and no one can escape them.

All beings are equal!

However, he still comforted him, saying, "Old leader, don't be discouraged. If Western medicine doesn't work, let's try traditional Chinese medicine. I've already sent someone to invite Dr. Liang! Dr. Liang even cured the mayor's wife's cancer, maybe he can help!"

Zhao Guangcai shook his head with a wry smile, "Do you think I haven't seen any traditional Chinese medicine doctors? I even went to Tongrentang, where a 108-year-old legendary doctor shook his head after feeling my pulse!"

Gao Qing was deeply moved.

Rumor has it that there is a legendary doctor in Tongrentang who is over a hundred years old and is the former head of Tongrentang. He usually stays in Zhongbeihai and does not hold a clinic. He only treats some important officials.

If even this old, renowned doctor says there's nothing he can do, then even if Liang Taidou were to come, I'm afraid...

Ta-da!

As they were talking, there was a knock on the door.

Then, the director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine department led Liang Zhenxing and his granddaughter Liang Qingxia in.

Gao Qing quickly stood up. "Old Liang, you've finally arrived!"

Zhao Guangcai also slowly stood up. In Harbin, who didn't know the name Liang Taidou?

When he fell ill, he wanted to see Liang Zhenxing, but his children didn't really believe in traditional Chinese medicine, so he put it off.

Unexpectedly, the two were destined to meet, and with Gao Qing acting as a go-between, they finally got to meet today.

"Mr. Liang, I've long admired your reputation!" Zhao Guangcai greeted him with a warm smile and extended his hand.

Liang Zhenxing deliberately kept a straight face, "You know my great name, yet you only come to see me now. Leader Zhao, you are clearly looking down on this old man!"

"Uh..."

Zhao Guangcai was stunned for a moment, and his expression immediately turned awkward.

But the next second, Liang Zhenxing laughed, "Leader Zhao, please don't take offense, I was just joking! Anyway, I'm glad you found me! I've always respected you, and I will do my best to help you get better!"

"Uh, hehehehe!" Zhao Guangcai immediately shook his head and laughed. "Old Liang is really humorous! But I'll remember what you said. My illness depends entirely on you!"

Even so, Zhao Guangcai couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

In fact, he didn't have much hope at all. After all, even the old doctor of Tongrentang couldn't do anything. Could it be that Liang Taidou was even more powerful than the old doctor?

"Sit down, let me take your pulse!"

Without wasting words, Liang Zhenxing directly invited Zhao Guangcai to sit down and took his pulse.

He placed his five fingers on Liang Zhenxing's wrist, squinted his eyes, and sometimes released them, sometimes pressed them down again.

After a long while, he slowly withdrew his arm, a solemn expression on his face.

“Liang Taidou, my illness…” Zhao Guangcai asked nervously.

Liang Zhenxing sighed deeply and shook his head, saying, "It's too late! If you had found me two months earlier, there might have been a chance. This has dragged on for far too long!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Guangcai's eyes instantly dimmed.

He immediately shook his head with a wry smile. This was not much different from the result he had expected, and he was not disappointed.

"Old Liang, is there really no other way?" Gao Qing asked anxiously from the side.

Zhao Guangcai was his former superior. As long as Zhao Guangcai was in charge, the medical system would not be in chaos. Otherwise, with a new official taking office, there would probably be another upheaval. Naturally, he hoped that Zhao Guangcai could do well and continue to take charge of the overall situation.

Liang Zhenxing pondered for a moment and said, "If it were before, there might really be no way, but now, we can give it a try!"

"really?"

Zhao Guangcai's eyes immediately lit up, as if he had seen a glimmer of light in the darkness.

Life is only once, and especially for someone in a high position with great ambitions, he naturally wants to live more than anyone else.

Liang Zhenxing said calmly, "I never speak with certainty. I can only say I'll give it a try!"

"Qingxia, come and give Leader Zhao acupuncture!" Liang Zhenxing turned to his granddaughter and said.

Everyone was stunned!

Even Brigitte Leung herself was a little confused.

I never expected that my grandfather would ask me to treat such an important patient.

The others were also puzzled. Could it be that this little girl's medical skills were comparable to those of Elder Liang?

Ignoring everyone's doubts, Liang Zhenxing smiled and said to his granddaughter, "Try the acupuncture technique that Doctor Lin just taught you on Leader Zhao. Grandpa believes in you!"
