"Okay, I understand. I'll go pack up now."
Ye Weiwei readily agreed, then went upstairs to change her clothes, and came downstairs with her first-aid kit on her back.
Although it was Grandpa Qin who personally led her there, Ye Weiwei still had to go through three layers of checks before she could see Grandpa Long.
This high-ranking military officer was a very kind-looking old man. If you saw him on the street, you would think he was just an ordinary old man from a humble family. He was very approachable.
However, Ye Weiwei didn't take it seriously.
Although Grandpa Long acted very kindly, he could not hide the air of authority that he inadvertently exuded in his every move.
"This must be Comrade Xiao Ye? I've heard so much about you."
Grandpa Long looked Ye Weiwei up and down, then smiled and said.
Ye Weiwei's smile was also very obedient: "Elder Long."
Grandpa Long suddenly joked, "This isn't like you. I've heard you're not exactly known for your gentle temper."
Ye Weiwei's smile remained unchanged: "But hedgehogs don't always stick their quills out and prick people, do they? Besides, I've always believed in not offending others unless they offend me, so I naturally treat civilized people in a civilized way."
Grandpa Long couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hmm, you're quite frank, young comrade!"
Grandpa Qin also laughed and said, "Weiwei, you've misjudged him. He's not a civilized person at all. He doesn't show any mercy when it comes to dealing with people. He'll do whatever it takes to be ruthless!"
Ye Weiwei remained unfazed: "Oh, those people must have needed to be taught a lesson!"
Grandpa Long was amused by Ye Weiwei's words, and his laughter grew even more hearty. He pointed at Grandpa Qin and said, "You old fellow, your thinking isn't even as advanced as that young comrade's."
Old Master Qin grunted twice and then fell silent.
After chatting for a while, Ye Weiwei took Grandpa Long's pulse.
After examining the left hand, I switched to the right, my brows furrowed slightly the entire time.
Old Master Qin was the first to ask, "How is it? Can it be cured?"
Grandpa Long, on the other hand, was much calmer. He smiled and said to Ye Weiwei, "Don't feel pressured, just say what you want."
Ye Weiwei thought for a moment, then looked at Grandpa Qin and then at Grandpa Long: "It can be cured, but it's quite troublesome."
"It's good that it can be cured, it doesn't matter if it's troublesome or not!" Old Master Qin was relieved.
Ye Weiwei looked at Grandpa Long: "You've been taking traditional Chinese medicine to regulate your body. Do you have the prescription and the doctor who wrote it? I need to see him."
Old Master Long then ordered someone to find Doctor Zhao.
Over the years, Dr. Zhao has been taking care of his health.
Dr. Zhao's medical skills are renowned throughout China.
A short while later, Dr. Zhao arrived.
Actually, he had been waiting for this for a long time. Even if Ye Weiwei didn't ask to see him today, he would still find an opportunity to meet with her.
Elder Long's health is of utmost importance, so he must be extremely careful.
Ye Weiwei was invited here today only after going through layers of review and investigation.
When Dr. Zhao saw Ye Weiwei, his expression stiffened. Although he already knew that Ye Weiwei was a young girl, he was still very surprised when he saw her because she was so young.
As someone trusted by Elder Long, Dr. Zhao quickly recovered from her doubts and did not show any arrogance or disdain when discussing the illness with Ye Weiwei.
However, after much deliberation, he hesitated to immediately agree to some of the treatment methods proposed by Ye Weiwei.
Especially the prescriptions given by Ye Weiwei.
"Comrade Ye, is there something wrong with this prescription?" Dr. Zhao frowned deeply when he saw the herbs on the prescription.
Ye Weiwei glanced at the three medicinal herbs he pointed out, and said with a half-smile, "Isn't this the reason you came here today for me to take your pulse?"
Dr. Zhao: ...
Having his thoughts exposed, Dr. Zhao couldn't hide his embarrassment and was somewhat taken aback by Ye Weiwei's keen insight.
Now that he'd been exposed, Dr. Zhao didn't try to hide it anymore and readily admitted, "To be honest, we did want to use you to find these three medicinal herbs. However, we don't know if you still have them, so we thought we'd test the waters."
These three medicinal herbs are: an aged ginseng, an aged Ganoderma lucidum, and an elixir of immortality.
While aged ginseng and lingzhi are rare, they are not difficult to find. However, finding the legendary herb of immortality is as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Ye Weiwei's prescription was not much different from Dr. Zhao's prescription, which Dr. Zhao had spent countless hours and effort to create, but he could never find all the ingredients listed.
He overheard Old Master Chu talking to Old Master Long on the phone, mentioning that his grandson Chu Zhao's health had greatly improved. Old Master Long was surprised, and Old Master Chu boasted that his grandson had received help from a master and was given medicine by the same master. He only found out that Ye Weiwei had the herb of immortality after the pills were added.
However, this herb of immortality is extremely precious and rare. They didn't know if Ye Weiwei had any more, or if she was willing to give it to Elder Long to cure his illness, so they came up with this idea to meet her.
Old Long was shocked to learn that Dr. Zhao had done so much behind his back, and said helplessly, "Old Zhao, you..."
He assumed that Lao Zhao was saying Ye Weiwei's medical skills were superb, no less than Dr. Zhang's, and wanted to invite Ye Weiwei over so the two of them could discuss his condition together. He never expected that Lao Zhao was after the good medicine she had and had this idea.
Seeing that Elder Long was truly unaware of the matter, Ye Weiwei didn't take it to heart.
Moreover, Dr. Zhao was only testing the waters; he didn't try to extort or take anything from us. His use of moral blackmail wasn't offensive.
“I know where to find ginseng and lingzhi. I also have a few of these immortal herbs on hand, and I can spare two of them.”
As soon as Ye Weiwei finished speaking, Dr. Zhao became extremely excited and looked at Ye Weiwei nervously: "Two plants are enough, more than enough! Comrade Ye, name your price or any conditions, and we are willing to cooperate."
As long as we can get our hands on this life-saving medicine!
Ye Weiwei looked at Old Master Qin, who said, "Just say what you want, don't be shy. We Qin family members will eat anything and never suffer a loss."
Old Master Qin hadn't expected that his visit for the pulse diagnosis was for this reason, so he didn't hesitate.
Old Master Long looked helplessly at Old Master Qin, then smiled at Ye Weiwei: "Go ahead and say it."
Ye Weiwei said, "There is indeed one thing I want to ask Elder Long. If I were to drive out the members of the Qin family's collateral branches and take back the Qin family mansion right now, would Elder Qin be accused of something else and exiled?"
Old Master Long was stunned for a moment, looked at Old Master Qin to the side, and then couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"No way! The deed to that house is in Old Man Qin's hands right now, isn't it? It's perfectly reasonable for you to want to take back your property. If anyone dares to cause you trouble, let them come find me!"
Ye Weiwei immediately beamed: "Then it's settled. I've been annoyed with those people for a long time!"
