She racked her brains for a solution, and then she suddenly remembered asking Dean Gong for Xiangbao. Dean Gong was a descendant of the royal physicians, so he must have many strange and unusual medical books and herbs.
"Yes, we should be able to find a way," a glimmer of hope suddenly flashed in her despairing dark eyes.
"Master, I've got an idea!" Her face lit up, and she took two steps forward, excitedly grabbing Professor Chen's arm again.
"What method?" Professor Chen was stunned. He, a top medical professor in Country A, had no solution, but she, a mere apprentice, had one? He looked at her in disbelief.
"Master, you are a leader in the medical field. You should know many highly skilled medical professionals. You must know Dean Gong, right?"
"Well, I know most of the legendary figures in the medical field. Dean Gong is one of the top three medical figures in Country A. He is a descendant of the royal physicians and has some unique and powerful techniques. I originally thought of him, but didn't he die in prison?"
His regretful look, of course, as a doctor, saving lives is his duty, and he had thought of every possible way, so how could he not have thought of this one?
“He is dead, but he has rare medical books and rare medicinal herbs. We can go and find them.” Bai Zhi’s firm tone, along with her master, a person with such high medical skills, made her feel that the chances of success were much greater.
"Xiao Zhi, do you think I haven't thought about going to Dean Gong's place? Dean Gong's daughter, Gong Ru, is cunning and mean-spirited. Her family has many bodyguards and is heavily guarded. I can't even get through the door! I can't understand it, and I don't know what Gong Ru is thinking?"
"The medicinal herbs and medical books that have been passed down are for treating diseases and saving lives. How can she be so selfish as to monopolize them all, saying that these things will only be passed on to her own family and that no one else can even get a glimpse of them! I have been turned away several times."
"What a pity for those valuable things. How many lives could they have saved if they had been passed down through generations? Like father, like daughter. Gong Ru and her father are the same, both equally selfish. It makes me angry just thinking about them!"
Professor Chen spoke with a belly full of resentment, saying that it was a disgrace to the medical community to have such selfish people!
Bai Zhi frowned and pondered for a while, then came up with a solution. "Let my mother handle this. She has always had a good relationship with Dean Gong, and she should have a close relationship with Gong Ru. She will definitely be able to open a channel for us to enter the Gong family."
"Good." Professor Chen looked at Bai Zhi with an appreciative gaze. The little girl who was once ignorant and naive in his eyes had truly grown up.
She was fearless in the face of danger and calm in her actions. In just a short time, she was able to come up with so many solutions, which was a world of difference from Bai Zhi, who knew nothing when she was young and relied on her master for everything.
A hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. His apprentice was becoming more and more outstanding, more and more capable of handling things independently, which made even this old man admire him.
As soon as Bai Zhi finished speaking, she picked up her phone from the table and immediately called Mrs. Ou in the United States. Upon hearing the news of her son's serious illness, Mrs. Ou instantly broke down.
After hanging up the phone, Mrs. Ou quickly called Gong Ru. Ten minutes later, Mrs. Ou called back, saying that the Gong family had agreed to let them go find the medicine and that she would be returning to China today.
Immediately afterwards, Bai Zhi and Professor Chen went to the Gong family's residence.
The Gong family's butler led Bai Zhi and Professor Chen toward the Gong family's old residence. On the way, the butler said that Dean Gong had lived here when he was alive, but after Dean Gong passed away, the house was left vacant, and Miss Gong would only come here occasionally.
However, this is the most important place in the entire Gong family, and it is usually guarded by dozens of bodyguards. No one can get in even if they have wings.
Bai Zhi and Professor Chen felt a pang of regret upon hearing the housekeeper's words. Fortunately, Madam Ou had a deep friendship with Dean Gong; otherwise, how could they have made it here?

The three of them arrived at the entrance of the old house. The old house was a traditional Chinese building, giving people a sense of antiquity and holiness. The entrance of the old house was brightly lit, and sure enough, a group of bodyguards in black stood at the entrance. The bodyguards greeted the butler respectfully, and their voices were deafening.
The butler smiled and nodded at them, exuding an air of supreme authority.
"I never imagined the Gong family was so powerful and wealthy. Even their steward holds such a high and mighty position. It's astonishing," Bai Zhi thought to herself.
Wow, the Gong family really has a grand display!
Ah, the Gong family's defenses are truly impregnable!
Wow, with such tight security, what kind of magical creatures must be inside this old house?
Bai Zhi and Professor Chen were already very excited. Bai Zhi was increasingly convinced that there must be some amazing prescriptions and medicinal herbs inside that they would never expect.
As if possessed, all her nerves were on edge with excitement. She couldn't wait to plunge into that magical world of medical books and that wondrous pharmacy to find a way to cure Zihan.
Immediately afterwards, the bodyguards at the door stood respectfully in two rows, making way for them. The butler did not follow them in, and Bai Zhi and Professor Chen entered the old house.
The old manor is very large, stretching as far as the eye can see. It looks like it would take half an hour to walk there to get to the old manor.
The manor has pavilions, terraces, rockeries, and lakes—everything you could want. Colorful lights adorn the courtyard, twinkling and shimmering, making the whole place feel like a fairyland—so tranquil and beautiful.
Being there makes you feel calm and at ease.
But how could Angelica dahurica remain calm and composed while appreciating the beautiful scenery?
