At this time, Gao Xinhua came out from inside, and Xu Chunliang approached him: "Uncle Gao, how is the situation?"

Gao Xinhua said, "The patient was brought in promptly. Besides a large cut on the scalp, the other injuries aren't serious, and there is no internal organ damage; don't worry."

He glanced at Shu Yuanhang, wondering if this fair-skinned, refined young man could really be Tong Guangsheng's son. It was also his first time seeing Shu Yuanhang today.

Xu Chunliang said to Shu Yuanhang: "Mr. Shu, let me introduce you. This is our Dean Gao, who is also your father's comrade-in-arms."

Gao Xinhua reached out to Shu Yuanhang, who showed him his scarred hands and said, "Sorry."

Gao Xinhua asked Xu Chunliang to take Shu Yuanhang to the emergency room to treat his wounds. Even though they were just surface wounds, infection is never good.

Gao Xinhua then asked Shu Yuanhang where he would stay that night. Xu Chunliang said he would arrange it, depending on what Shu Yuanhang wanted. If he wanted to stay with his father, he could rest in the ward; if not, Xu Chunliang would book a hotel for him.

After Gao Xinhua left, Xu Chunliang took Shu Yuanhang to the emergency room to treat his wounds. Shu Yuanhang did not bandage them, just had a simple cleaning and disinfection.

It was almost one o'clock, and Xu Chunliang received a message from Mei Ru Xue, telling her to rest assured as everything was going smoothly.

At this time, Xu Chunliang thought there was no need to go back to trouble the old man and sought Shu Yuanhang's opinion, who decided to stay at the hospital that night.

After so much hassle, none of them had eaten. Xu Chunliang asked if Shu Yuanhang wanted to grab a bite, but Shu Yuanhang politely declined.

Just then, Wang Jinwu came out looking for Xu Chunliang and saw Shu Yuanhang looking all beaten up. Wang Jinwu believed everything that happened tonight was Shu Yuanhang's fault and thought he deserved the punch from earlier for losing his temper on the mountain.

Wang Jinwu didn't greet Shu Yuanhang, and Shu Yuanhang ignored him, turning and heading to the ward.

Watching Shu Yuanhang's back, Wang Jinwu said angrily, "Look at his miserable state; if it weren't for President Tong, I'd beat him until he couldn't find his teeth."

Xu Chunliang said, "Aren't you afraid the boss will settle accounts with you later?"

"Let him settle accounts if he wants to; I just can't swallow this anger!"

Xu Chunliang suggested going to grab some food, and Wang Jinwu was also in the mood. The nightlife in Dongzhou was still quite monotonous, and at this hour, the only places still open were mostly barbecue joints.

The two of them went to Sister Ling's BBQ near the hospital, where the environment was nothing to brag about, filled with smoke, but it was lively with people.

The lamb here was quite fresh, cut, and skewered on the spot. Outside, the autumn rain was falling nonstop, and there was already a chill of late autumn.

Neither Wang Jinwu nor Xu Chunliang liked beer; there weren't any good liquors here either. Wang Jinwu chose a bottle of Beidacang selected, which was one of the few pure grain liquors available at this price range.

The two of them filled a glass of white liquor, clinked, and drank half in one go.

Xu Chunliang found Dongzhou's barbecue quite good; he hadn't had this stuff before. There were quite a few varieties here, like roasted cicada, roasted scorpion, roasted silkworm pupae. Xu Chunliang ordered four skewers of roasted scorpion.

Wang Jinwu didn't dare try it. Watching Xu Chunliang eat with relish, he couldn't help but ask if it pierced the mouth.

Xu Chunliang handed him a skewer, but Wang Jinwu worried it might be poisonous and waved his hand, saying, "You go ahead and eat; this stuff just scares me. Eat less, or it'll be troublesome if you get poisoned."

Xu Chunliang said, "The tails have been cut off; there's no poison." Actually, the best way to eat scorpions is the same as with drunken shrimp; grilling or frying scorpions takes away their essence, especially after removing the venom.

Wang Jinwu, worried about Tong Guangsheng's illness, asked, "Brother, is President Tong's illness very serious?"

Xu Chunliang said, "It probably isn't minor."

Wang Jinwu said, "I heard leukemia is blood cancer. You know, President Tong has been righteous all his life, done so many good deeds; how could he end up with such an illness?"

Xu Chunliang said, "Disease doesn't care if you're a good person or a bad person. You shouldn't worry too much; there are many treatments for leukemia now. I'll ask my grandpa if he has any secret remedies."

Wang Jinwu shook his head and said, "President Tong doesn't believe in traditional Chinese medicine; how about Changxing in this regard?"

Xu Chunliang said, "We don't get to say how he should be treated; Uncle Tong has a son, and Shu Yuanhang himself is a doctor."

"That heartless bastard, just mentioning him makes me angry." Wang Jinwu downed his glass in one gulp.

Xu Chunliang advised him not to lose his temper. In fact, Shu Yuanhang wasn't as cold-blooded as he thought. Shu Yuanhang was the first to find Tong Guangsheng, and it was Shu Yuanhang who treated him in time; otherwise, Tong Guangsheng would have been in big trouble.

Xu Chunliang didn't take the credit, attributing all the praise to Shu Yuanhang. After this incident, his impression of Shu Yuanhang completely changed.

Only after hearing Xu Chunliang's explanation did Wang Jinwu realize how much had happened in between. Thinking of the punch he threw at Shu Yuanhang, he couldn't help feeling a bit guilty: "So, did I misunderstand him?"

Xu Chunliang said, "It's hard for an outsider to judge domestic matters. We don't really know what situation his father and he are in. I think there must be a misunderstanding, and misunderstandings will eventually be cleared up. We outsiders should not add to the confusion."

Wang Jinwu said, "I just don't get it. It was President Tong's ex-wife who abandoned him and ran off with their son. So why does Shu Yuanhang blame President Tong?"

Xu Chunliang said, "Ask Uncle Tong."

That night, Xu Chunliang stayed at a hotel across the hospital. The next morning, he went to Changxing to visit Tong Guangsheng. After a night's treatment, Tong Guangsheng's condition had improved a lot. His head was wrapped in gauze, and he was sitting on the bed chatting with Gao Xinhua.

Gao Xinhua had been there for a while, letting the two chat while he had other matters to attend to.

Xu Chunliang didn't see Wang Jinwu and Shu Yuanhang. After asking Tong Guangsheng, he learned that Wang Jinwu had been sent back early in the morning since someone needed to oversee Xianhong Farm. As for Shu Yuanhang, he hadn't been seen since the morning.

Tong Guangsheng's memory of being rescued last night was a bit hazy. Facing Xu Chunliang, he seemed a bit embarrassed, explaining that he accidentally slipped down Erdaoya, not intending to end his life. If he truly wanted to die, drinking pesticide would be quicker.

Xu Chunliang knew Tong Guangsheng wasn't someone looking to end his life. He was just curious why he went climbing Shiliang Mountain alone. Everyone has their secrets; if someone doesn't want to tell, Xu Chunliang wouldn't ask.

Tong Guangsheng explained why they hadn't found his footprints at the mountain's base: he once served as a reconnaissance soldier, so avoiding detection wasn't difficult.

Seeing him in good spirits, Xu Chunliang knew Tong Guangsheng must have shaken off yesterday's depression. He told Tong Guangsheng that if not for Shu Yuanhang, he might not have survived this disaster.

Tong Guangsheng said nothing verbally, but in his heart, he felt greatly relieved. His son wasn't as indifferent as he appeared; he still cared about his father.

Xu Chunliang urged Tong Guangsheng to rest easy. In Changxing, he would receive the best care and medical resources. If he wasn't confident in Changxing's experts, they could connect him with the country's top hematology experts.

Knowing Tong Guangsheng's aversion to traditional Chinese medicine, Xu Chunliang didn't bring it up. After all, Chinese medicine isn't almighty, and even he wasn't fully confident in its effectiveness for leukemia.

After visiting Tong Guangsheng, Xu Chunliang went to the director's office to ask Yao Zemin about Tong Guangsheng's condition and found that Shu Yuanhang was also there. He and Yao Zemin had just finished a discussion, so Shu Yuanhang wasn't as indifferent as he appeared and still cared about his biological father.

After Yao Zemin escorted Shu Yuanhang out, he briefed Xu Chunliang on the situation, telling him that Shu Yuanhang had already provided a treatment plan.

According to the current situation, Tong Guangsheng likely had acute myeloid leukemia. The traditional treatment method involves using chemotherapy to wipe out white blood cells in the body, followed by a bone marrow transplant. Another method is autologous stem cell transplantation.

Of course, the latest medical technique is CAR-T, an abbreviation of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, a type of targeted therapy not yet available in Changxing.

Shu Yuanhang provided a treatment plan for this. Just now, he even helped Yao Zemin connect with Dr. Kobayashi Mitsuo, a renowned hematology expert in Asia, to discuss Tong Guangsheng's condition and offered suggestions.

Yao Zemin marveled, "This Shu Yuanhang is impressive, with profound medical insights and a high level of expertise."

What truly amazed him was Shu Yuanhang's circle of contacts. Kobayashi Mitsuo is an authoritative figure in Asian hematology; Yao Zemin once listened to his lectures in Nagoya and greatly admired his medical skills.

While they were talking, Dean Zhao Feiyang called. Zhao Feiyang had already heard about Tong Guangsheng's condition and called Xu Chunliang to gain detailed insights into the situation.

Zhao Feiyang hadn't expected Tong Guangsheng's illness to be so severe. Back when Xu Chunliang reported to him, it was still gout. How did it suddenly turn into leukemia? Because of the gout, he waived the medical fees, but leukemia is different.

Zhao Feiyang regretted making such a big promise back then. What if Tong Guangsheng took it seriously? If he kept his promise, it could be a bottomless pit. If he went back on his word, he'd break his promise.

Xu Chunliang reassured Zhao Feiyang that, following his instructions, the division's fees were waived. As for the expenses incurred after arriving at the main hospital, he didn't mention them; Tong Guangsheng would cover those himself.

Only then did Zhao Feiyang relax, showing that Xu Chunliang was mindful enough not to convey his words verbatim. This also served as a reminder for him to leave room when speaking. Though he is the head of Changxing, he can't decide everything, as his powers are limited.

If Tong Guangsheng incurred tens of thousands of expenses, he could easily waive them, but leukemia is a bottomless pit, possibly costing hundreds of thousands. Luckily, Xu Chunliang didn't relay his boastful words verbatim; otherwise, it would have been awkward.
