"Okay, let's go." Li Tianqi didn't dare to delay any longer and quickly got into the car with Ye Xingchen.
The Bai family is in complete chaos right now. The old man of the Bai family was a big shot in the police force. Although he has retired, he is still a very influential figure.
One of his two sons was a prominent figure in the military, while the other was the head of the Beijing police system.
Moreover, his favorite person is his granddaughter. Now, Bai Zilin's ward is surrounded by layers of guards, with sentries every three steps and patrols every five steps.
"Hasn't Doctor Yuan arrived yet?" Old Bai looked at his granddaughter on the sickbed, feeling utterly overwhelmed.
"Dad, we just received news from the Imperial Medical Academy that Physician Yuan has returned to his sect to attend a sacrificial ceremony and is not in Yanjing. It seems that Chen Zhengde will be arriving soon, and he has brought a master with him," said a man with a general's star on his body.
He is Bai Zilin's uncle, Bai Tianyu, and the man next to him in a police uniform with a single-digit badge number is Bai Zilin's father, Bai Tianxi.
"Chen Zhengde?" Old Bai frowned slightly.
Although Chen Zhengde was also one of the three heads of the Imperial Medical Academy, ranking only below Yuan Zhengde, Elder Bai did not like him very much.
For no other reason than that his method of treating illness was to fight poison with poison, and he took an unorthodox approach, the kind that would kill a thousand enemies but also lose eight hundred of his own.
“Dad, he’s the only doctor we can get in Yanjing right now, and his senior brother is also here. I heard that his senior brother is also an extremely capable person,” Bai Tianyu said quickly.
"Dad, no matter who it is, as long as there's a way to save Zilin, that's all that matters." Bai Tianxi was extremely anxious.
"Alright then." Old Master Bai nodded slowly.
"Grandpa, Dad, Second Uncle, I've brought Dr. Chen." Just then, a young man rushed in.
The young man is Bai Zilin, Tang Kebai, and Bai Tianyu's son.
Two other people came with him: one was Chen Zhengde, one of the heads of the Imperial Medical Academy, and the other was his senior brother, who was wearing a long robe and exuded a strange aura.
"Dr. Chen, I'm entrusting my granddaughter to you." Old Bai said.
"Please rest assured, Elder Bai, I will do my best. Let me introduce you, this is my senior brother, Jiang Yongkang." Chen Zhengde clasped his hands in a fist salute.
"The Ghost Doctor of Mount Ming, Jiang Yongkang?" Old Bai frowned slightly.
Chen Zhengde used poison to treat illnesses, which cured the disease, but also damaged the patient's health, which he disliked very much.
This Ghost Doctor of the Underworld Mountain has an even more frightening reputation. It is said that his methods of healing include using talismans, incantations, and even spiritual sorcery.
"Dad, I can't ask Zilin for help anymore." Bai Tianxi was very anxious. The person lying on the hospital bed was his own daughter.
"Then I'll have to trouble you two." Old Bai nodded.
"Senior brother, please." Chen Zhengde gestured for him to enter.
Jiang Yongkang snorted, nodded slightly, and walked forward steadily, maintaining a composed demeanor before reaching out to touch Zhe Zilin's pulse.
Unexpectedly, his expression changed drastically upon touching it, and he quickly withdrew his hand and took three steps back.
"Poisonous corpse spirit, this isn't an illness, it's a curse?" Jiang Yongkang looked angrily at Chen Zhengde.
"This... I just arrived and don't know the situation." Chen Zhengde was startled.
Jiang Yongkang's eyes lit up. This was a deadly poison, a corpse poison. Even a tiny bit of it would kill him. Was this bastard trying to kill him?
"It's a poisonous corpse spirit, Mr. Jiang, do you have a solution?" Bai Tianxi asked tentatively.
Although I was furious, I still had to maintain a bit of mystery in front of others.
Jiang Yongkang resumed his aloof demeanor, snorted, and said, "What's so difficult about that? It's just a poisonous corpse spirit; I can cure it with a wave of my hand."
"Mr. Jiang, what is your solution?" Old Bai was slightly taken aback. After all, it concerned his granddaughter's life. If Jiang Yongkang really had a solution, that would be a good thing.
"This is a secret passed down within our sect. Just do as I say." Jiang Yongkang adopted the air of a wise and powerful figure.
Old Bai frowned: "Then may I ask, Mr. Jiang, if he is cured, will there be any aftereffects?"
It's not that he doesn't trust Jiang Yongkang. One poison doctor, Chen Zhengde, is enough. Now that a ghost doctor has appeared, who knows what kind of methods this guy uses to treat and save people?
"Old Bai, do you not trust me?" Jiang Yongkang snorted. "If you don't trust me, I'll leave. I, Jiang Yongkang, am not someone you can just ask to leave."
This guy spoke arrogantly, but he certainly had the right to be arrogant.
After all, the name "Ghost Doctor of the Underworld Mountain" is useful no matter where it is used.
"Mr. Bai, that's not what my father meant. As long as my daughter can be saved, anything is negotiable." Bai Tianxi was only concerned about his daughter's health at the moment: "Please, Mr. Bai, help me save my daughter's life."
"Is this how you ask for favors?" Jiang Yongkang glanced at Bai Tianxi sideways, his expression extremely arrogant.
Bai Tianxi was stunned, and everyone in the Bai family was stunned.
The Bai family ancestors fought alongside the founding emperor; they are truly upright and legitimate. No matter how skilled or famous you, Ghost Doctor, are, you are just a figure in the martial arts world.
Would the Bai family have to ask for favors?
"If you want me to save her, then you're asking for a favor." Jiang Yongkang sneered, "But it seems you don't have the attitude of asking for a favor."
"Senior brother..." Chen Zhengde looked embarrassed.
Yes, my senior brother has a great reputation, and he has been to many places and knows many powerful and influential people.
Those powerful and wealthy people mostly regarded him as a master.
But what kind of family is the Bai family? If you put on airs like this on your first meeting, do you think the Bai family will fall for it?
"Mr. Jiang, it's our first meeting. I don't know your rules for treating patients. Please forgive me if I'm not thorough enough."
Bai Tianxi frowned: "But my daughter is in critical condition. We beg Mr. Jiang to save her. The Bai family will be eternally grateful."
"Hmm." Jiang Yongkang nodded in satisfaction: "I will cure your daughter and make sure she is just like a normal person. But remember, the Bai family owes me a favor, and I will have to accept it later."
"If you can cure my granddaughter and guarantee that she will be just like a normal person, I'll do you ten times over, not just one favor." Old Bai was somewhat displeased.
When treating patients and saving lives, the interests should be clearly explained first; there's no one like Jiang Yongkang.
If it weren't for the fact that it involved his granddaughter, Old Bai would probably have lost his temper on the spot.
“Okay, that’s fine.” Jiang Yongkang nodded. “In that case, let’s begin. Go find ten young and healthy people, I…”
"You've found ten people, are you trying to trade ten lives for one?" Just then, Ye Xingchen's voice came, as he rushed over accompanied by Li Tianqi.
"Who are you?" Jiang Yongkang frowned, clearly displeased.
Wherever he goes, he is always surrounded by people and treated as an honored guest, a master. But here today, these people don't seem to respect him much.
