"Xiao Tang, you--" Cao Jianjun frowned.
Tang Xiaobao remained unmoved.
The old man's heart moved, but he remained calm and said, "Are you trying to trick me?"
"Haha, Old Master, you know better than me, don't you? I'm sure many doctors have examined you. You don't have any particularly fatal illness, but almost every part of your body has some minor problems. This is a sign of natural aging and death. You can also say it's the result of the deterioration of body functions and the beginning of organ failure."
"Normally speaking, there is really no medicine to cure it. Only maintenance can prolong life. And I think the old man must have taken good care of himself to live to this age..." Tang Xiaobao said surprisingly.
Everyone looked at Tang Xiaobao with strange expressions.
The old man's health had been like this for several years. He had consulted many doctors, and the final diagnosis was almost the same as Tang Xiaobao's.
"Xiaoying, it was you who told him, right?" The old man turned and asked Cao Ying.
Cao Ying shook her head: "Grandpa, I didn't tell him a word about your health problems."
"You have never lied to me." The old man frowned.
Cao Ying said: "Grandpa, I still didn't lie to you this time."
The old man's expression was no longer as calm as before. He stared at Tang Xiaobao and said, "Even if what you said is the truth, you said that this kind of problem is simply incurable. Do you want to replace all my organs? Then I will no longer be myself. What's more, this won't solve the fundamental problem."
Tang Xiaobao knew his words had finally worked, and he felt much more relaxed. He was no longer as reckless as before, and said gently, "Ordinary doctors are indeed powerless. Even if you search the whole world, I guess there are not many people who dare to say that they can prolong your life. But I can!"
"Defying the will of heaven to extend your life?" the old man muttered to himself, and finally extended his thumb: "What a great way to defy the will of heaven to extend your life! Fighting against heaven is endless fun. Hahahaha, young man, you are very much to my taste. I just don't know how you can extend your life?"
Tang Xiaobao smiled and said, "With herbal medicine as the main method and acupuncture as the auxiliary method, it will naturally be able to defy fate and prolong life."
"You really can?" The old man blinked.
Tang Xiaobao said confidently, "I've cured many cancer patients before. Your illness isn't any more serious than theirs, it's just a little more complicated. I'm naturally 100% confident."
"But there is something I must say first." "You go ahead." The old man was now very interested, and he seemed to be full of life.
It was not only because he had some trust in Tang Xiaobao's doctor, but also because what Tang Xiaobao said was very much to his liking.
"The old man should be almost ninety years old this year, right?" Tang Xiaobao asked.
"After the Spring Festival, you will be exactly 90 years old. Your eyesight is very good." The old man said with a smile.
Tang Xiaobao smiled and said, "Old Master, your life expectancy is ninety. Even if I could extend your life against all odds, you can only live for five more years at most. However, in these last five years, I can guarantee that you will be free of illness and pain and die peacefully."
This is a very direct statement. If most people knew how long they could live, it would probably be difficult for them to accept it.
But Tang Xiaobao knew that Old Master Cao would be able to face it calmly.
After all, the old man has experienced too much in his life and has long seen through life and death.
As expected, Old Master Cao wasn't angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "If you really have this ability, five years is enough. Being able to spend five years with your children and grandchildren and enjoy your old age is naturally the best outcome. Even if you are a miracle doctor, you can't make people immortal. I understand that."
"It's just... I have a question for you now, and I hope you can answer honestly."
"Grandpa, please ask, and I will answer truthfully." Tang Xiaobao said solemnly.
Old Master Cao's question was also very direct. "You came to cure my illness, but do you have something to ask for? In other words, what do you need me to do for you? What do I need to pay for it?"
Tang Xiaobao was stunned and laughed out loud, "Grandpa, you're overthinking this. As I said, Sister Ying is my friend, and I'm developing a new drug. Your Cao family has become the domestic general agent for my new drug. We have a cooperative relationship. I'm just here to treat you at Sister Ying's request. I really don't ask for anything in return."
The old man was a little surprised. He was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I believe what you say. However, if you can really extend my life against the will of heaven, then my Cao family will definitely cooperate with you sincerely. I can guarantee this."
Cao Jianguo on the side also nodded and said, "Not only that, if we are needed in the future, we will definitely do our best."
The old man continued, "By the way, you can make another request now. If you can help me recuperate and successfully extend my life, I can fulfill your request."
Tang Xiaobao frowned. He really didn't have any other ideas, which put him in a difficult position. He was about to say no, but Cao Ying suddenly said, "Grandpa, he's had some issues with the Chen family, and a few days ago he had an unpleasant experience with the Gu family in Yanjing. I'll make a request on his behalf. If he can really cure your illness, our Cao family will guarantee him for three years."
Cao Jianguo frowned.
Old Master Cao looked at his granddaughter with some surprise, then smiled and said, "Girls are extroverts, it seems that's true. Okay, I'll do as you say."
"But everything has its limits. We can only do our best. What do you think, young man?"
"I don't ask for anything. Since the old man said so, Tang Xiaobao would like to thank you in advance. If there are no other questions, I can give you acupuncture now." Tang Xiaobao said readily.
Old Master Cao was also a straightforward person. He stood up, and the housekeeper behind him came forward to support him, and the two brothers of the Cao family also came forward to support him.
"No, I can do it myself."
The old man waved his hand and told everyone not to support him.
Tang Xiaobao smiled and said, "The old man's illness is not as serious as you think. Let him walk around on his own."
"Hey, it's still Xiao Tang who has the temper with me." The old man laughed.
The group walked towards a courtyard not far away.
Cao Ying and Tang Xiaobao walked together. Cao Ying touched his arm and whispered, "You are really brave."
"Well, of course. I don't have any other abilities except these two: one is courage, and the other is skill." Tang Xiaobao said jokingly.
"Are you praising your skill and courage?" Cao Ying's eyes flickered with a strange color, and she smiled, "Well, I hope you can do it."
Tang Xiaobao was a little unconvinced: "Do you think I'm bragging?"
"Do you know how many doctors were helpless before this?" Cao Ying asked, "and do you know which doctors treated him?"
Tang Xiaobao smiled and said, "Let the facts prove everything, but I still have to thank you for speaking up for me just now."
"The prerequisite is that you have to cure Grandpa's illness, otherwise everything will be useless. And even if he agrees to it, there is still a limit." Cao Ying said seriously: "Our Cao family is not omnipotent. There are not many who are more powerful than the Cao family, but they are not less powerful either."
Tang Xiaobao's heart skipped a beat, but he said nothing more.
