I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 992 - 991: Looking for Someone

If last time was an accident, then this time Beisitian could be sure that Chu Fenglei already knew about her relationship with Little Rui. Judging from his attitude, he seemed to be helping them.Hao Jiacheng’s face didn’t show it, but he was silently judging Chu Fenglei in his heart. What was wrong with this Mystic Doctor, doing this again and again—trying to draw Doctor Bei’s attention?

Hao Rong, however, secretly gave him a thumbs-up. As expected of an adult—look at how he seized the opportunity. He himself had just been wondering how to get a chance to win Luo Yirui over, and this guy managed to say two sentences and immediately win some favor from Luo Yirui’s mom.

Looks like he really needed to learn more.

Beisitian stood up with a smile and walked over to them. Chu Fenglei thanked her and sat down beside Qin Xinyu.

Of course Qin Xinyu had also guessed Chu Fenglei’s intention. This guy... had grabbed the Family Head’s weak spot. It was fine if he used this to build some basic friendship, but if he actually treated Luo Yirui as the Family Head’s weakness, he might end up dying a very miserable death.

Mystic Doctors are doctors, so of course saving lives is their main business; but once forced, the destructive power of a Mystic Doctor is considerable. That’s precisely why the nation has always been focused on winning them over.

Although some people were puzzled by Chu Fenglei’s behavior, when they went to the small house just now, he and Qin Xinyu had walked at the very back together, looking like they got along quite well.

Beisitian turned her head to glance at Luo Yirui. Luo Yirui gave her a small smile. In the eyes of outsiders, this was a perfectly polite smile.

An adult and a child sat together and peacefully finished dinner. Only then did Beisitian return to Heavenly Blessing Hotel feeling content.

Luckily she hadn’t brought Zhuangzhuang this time, or they would have been exposed in minutes.

Back then, the reason she hadn’t let Zhuangzhuang come back with her was exactly because she felt there would be occasions where she’d need him. Thinking about it now, if she had brought Zhuangzhuang along at the time, maybe the outcome would be a little different.

Wei Zhongyuan hadn’t been captured by the other party. He escaped midway, but he was badly injured and was currently recuperating in the small courtyard.

Luo Yirui had asked about this as soon as he got back in touch with his dad. Knowing that Uncle Yuan was fine, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he still felt a bit guilty. Those people had been targeting him—meaning Uncle Yuan was injured because of him.

Luo Yirui rarely slept so well; after one full night’s sleep, his whole mental state was completely different. After recognizing his mom, he was eating well and sleeping soundly, and a lot of things that used to feel difficult no longer seemed like problems at all.

Jing Changle was extremely envious of this. He would probably never feel this way in his life.

After they got back to the hotel, Zhan Hongjun came knocking on the door immediately. Unlike before, he was very polite this time, though his smile looked a bit forced.

"You blaming me for not telling you?" Beisitian sat in the armchair while Qin Xinyu poured water for them.

Zhan Hongjun’s face twisted into a conflicted smile. "No, no, how would we dare blame Doctor Bei!"

Qin Xinyu shot him a glance. His whole face was screaming blame.

Gu Haiqing’s expression darkened slightly as he asked, "Why didn’t you tell us?"

Beisitian tilted her head slightly. "And why should I tell you?"

Heh, that was a perfect answer!

Zhan Hongjun tugged on Gu Haiqing. Don’t be fooled by this man’s usual smiling, easygoing appearance—he was actually not easy to talk to at all. Better not question her like that.

What’s more, what Beisitian said was absolutely right. Why should she tell them? Who did they think they were! After making such a racket in her hotel, she still owed them an update?

In Zhan Hongjun’s mind, a little cartoon version of himself kept ranting these lines, and with every sentence he felt more justified. After that, he couldn’t bring himself to be mad at Beisitian at all...

Honestly, what else could he do?

"Why don’t you just say it straight, and I’ll see if I can help you," Beisitian said.

She phrased it like that mainly to find out what was going on. Whether or not she would actually help—that was up to her.

Gu Haiqing knew he was in a weak position, so he could only follow the step she’d given him. "We’re hoping Doctor Bei can do us a favor."

"Wait. ’We’? Or just you?" Beisitian swept a glance over Zhan Hongjun and Le Jiayang.

Zhan Hongjun and Le Jiayang hurriedly waved their hands. It had nothing much to do with them.

Gu Haiqing ignored these two disloyal bastards and said, "It’s my school of thought—or rather, some other ancient lineages as well."

"How ancient are we talking?" Beisitian asked.

Gu Haiqing: "...Hidden Families of over five hundred years..."

Why did that sound like he was describing ginseng?

This was the first time he’d been asked that kind of question, so he didn’t have a perfect answer prepared...

Beisitian was rather shocked. Over five hundred years meant they’d definitely gone through that blank period in Mystic Doctor history. They might even be the ones who created that blank period.

Beisitian spread her hands. "That’s indeed old enough. But if even hidden lineages like that can’t solve it, what do you want from me? Ask me to help them popularize smartphone usage?"

Popularize smartphone usage... and you actually came up with that!

Gu Haiqing fell silent.

Off to the side, the corners of Zhan Hongjun and Le Jiayang’s mouths twitched. They never thought the head of Qingyu could crack this kind of cold joke.

"We’re all already using smartphones," Gu Haiqing said.

Zhan Hongjun’s face was expressionless. You really didn’t need to answer that so seriously—no one asked you.

"We just hope Doctor Bei can help us find someone. Although our lineage has significant power, it’s not convenient for us to show ourselves openly right now, so we can only look for a suitable person to act on our behalf," Gu Haiqing said.

Beisitian didn’t know what exactly the so-called Hidden Families that came out of Gu Haiqing’s mouth were, or whether they really existed. But whether it was Gu Haiqing or Chu Fenglei, they were both among the outstanding talents of the younger generation. She really couldn’t think of any major family that could groom disciples like them.

She suddenly remembered the message Cheng Shuwei had someone pass to her: "The giant crocodile is about to surface!"

Giant crocodile—just from the sound of it, you knew it was vicious and enormous. Was that metaphor referring to these Hidden Families?

Beisitian grew even more alert. The last thing she wanted was to be swallowed whole by someone and still help them count their money.

"Who are you looking for?" Beisitian asked.

Gu Haiqing was silent for a moment, then said, "We don’t know."

Beisitian: "???" Are you kidding me?

Listening to him toss out one nonsense line after another, Zhan Hongjun was about ready to explode. He rushed to say, "Let me explain. Haiqing just wants to find an agent to help him look for someone out in the open. Of course, that person might not even be in the country. We don’t know any of their distinctive features, characteristics, anything—yep, that’s about it."

Everyone: "..." So after all that, you still know nothing.

Gu Haiqing thought a bit and added, "It’s not completely traceless. I do have two features to go by, but I’d like to tell Doctor Bei alone."

He glanced around at the others.

Zhan Hongjun and Le Jiayang immediately stood up and headed out. But Qin Xinyu, who’d been standing behind Beisitian the whole time, and Tian Zhi, who sat on the sofa working on his laptop, both stayed put.
