Fearing that Jun Dao might not know who Chen Xiao was, Song Kaichao pointed furiously at Chen Xiao while speaking, his expression filled with excitement. He thought, "Once the Dragon King is detoxified and lives, I will be his savior, and the Song family's resurgence will be just around the corner!"
However, to Song Kaichao's disbelief, as soon as he finished speaking, Jun Dao, whose back was as straight as a javelin, suddenly bowed ninety degrees to Chen Xiao: "Dr. Chen, are you available to make a house call now? Miss Wan Nong and I had already arranged to invite you again tonight, but the Dragon King has suddenly fallen critically ill and cannot wait any longer!"
As his words fell, the dozen or so black-clad bodyguards behind him also bowed deeply to Chen Xiao. Their movements were uniform, their presence imposing, which terrified Song Kaichao, making his heart pound.
"Dragon King?"
Chen Xiao was initially confused, then suddenly understood: "Are you a family member of the patient whose symptoms are almost identical to Song Kaichao's?"
On the way to Central Hospital, Jun Dao hadn't held out much hope. After all, Long Aotian had sought medical help countless times over the years, tried numerous treatments, yet his condition had not only failed to improve but had worsened. Now, he was on the brink of death, with no other option but to try anything, even if it seemed hopeless.
But upon witnessing Song Kaichao, whose condition was even more severe than Long Aotian's, miraculously recover and even be able to walk, Jun Dao immediately recognized Chen Xiao's extraordinary abilities. At this moment, he wished he had wings to carry Chen Xiao to Long Aotian. How could he possibly care about Song Kaichao's accusations that Chen Xiao had malicious intentions?
Maintaining his humble posture of a deep bow to Chen Xiao, he nodded with immense reverence: "Yes, my codename is Jun Dao. I am acting under military orders to request Dr. Chen's services to treat the Dragon King."
"Military orders!"
Song Kaichao and Song Xiangyu were instantly terrified, their hearts pounding, cold sweat streaming down their faces.
Chen Xiao recalled that it was the Dragon King's help that allowed him to return to work at Central Hospital. He couldn't afford to delve into Jun Dao's background or the Dragon King's identity. Without hesitation, he nodded: "Let's go."
"Please!"
Jun Dao was both surprised and moved, his eyes reddening. He quickly and respectfully led the way.
After Chen Xiao and Jun Dao's group took the elevator downstairs, Song Xiangyu finally recovered from her shock. Ignoring the fact that her stockings were already soaked, she leaned against the wall, still shaken, and said, "Old... Old Master, our family... our family is completely finished this time!"
Song Kaichao slumped to the ground, his hospital gown soaked with cold sweat. His expression was filled with terror and despair. He tried to speak several times but couldn't utter a sound. Finally calming down, he shook his head and muttered to himself as if trying to comfort himself: "No! It can't be! The strange poison that afflicted me and the Dragon King is something even renowned physicians like Lin Huichun and other famous doctors, both domestic and international, couldn't cure. This kid named Chen is only in his early twenties. If he wasn't involved with the real culprit who poisoned us or the perpetrators who made the poison, how could he possibly detoxify it so easily? The Dragon King's military might is like a mountain, his eyes are like torches, he will surely tear him to pieces and grind his bones to dust!"
Facing the situation, Song Xiangyu was also more inclined to imagine a positive outcome. She nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes! If that's the case, it would be as if you saved the Dragon King. And once we have the Dragon King's support, our struggle for supremacy with the Ye family will surely be completely reversed, and we will make a comeback!"
As they were speaking, Chen Xiao and Jun Dao and their entourage had already reached the underground parking lot downstairs, where seven or eight understated vans were waiting.
At Jun Dao's respectful invitation, as Chen Xiao was about to get into a car, Vice Dean Jiang Xiuzhu suddenly called: "Chen Xiao, I order you, in my capacity as Vice Dean, to come to my office immediately!"
Chen Xiao frowned slightly, his step towards the car halting: "What is it?"
"Don't you know what you've done?" Jiang Xiuzhu threatened with extreme malice: "The people Tian Shao sent are waiting in my office. If you want to get Tian Shao's forgiveness, hurry over here!"
"Heh."
Chen Xiao sneered dismissively and hung up the phone.
Jiang Xiuzhu seemed to have fixated on Chen Xiao like a mad dog. As soon as Chen Xiao got into the car, she called again: "Chen, I'm warning you one last time. No matter who is backing you, if you don't get to my office within ten minutes, I'll have Tian Shao find someone to pressure the medical department into firing you!"
Chen Xiao, annoyed beyond measure, turned off his phone. Then, suppressing his anger, he said to Jun Dao, "Please wait a moment, I need to go back to my office to handle some personal matters!"
Jun Dao had excellent hearing. It was difficult not to overhear Jiang Xiuzhu speaking on the phone in the quiet car. He said indignantly, "Dr. Chen, may I be so bold as to ask who Tian Shao is? Hmph! If he dares to obstruct Dr. Chen from saving the Dragon King, I can make him rot in prison with one phone call. There's no need for Dr. Chen to personally intervene!"
