276 We Meet Again
Hearing this, a hint of shock flashed through Old Lady Zhen’s eyes.
Beside her, Zhen Yiping, who was holding a covered bowl and drinking tea slowly, also raised his eyes to look at Sang Qianqian, his sharp and deep gaze scrutinizing her up and down.
If she didn’t have a certain understanding of Miao Leshan’s character, the old lady might really have suspected that Miao Leshan was coveting the high consultation fees that the Zhen family had paid, or that he had other motives.
After all, even if the Zhen family couldn’t cure the poison, they would still give generous gifts to the doctors who visited them.
“Leshan, do you know that the person who was poisoned is extremely important to our Zhen family? There can’t be any jokes or mistakes when it comes to curing the poison.”
Old Lady Zhen’s face darkened, clearly displeased. “Although the Zhen family is in a hurry to find a doctor, not just anyone can enter the house.”
The doctors who were invited to enter the Zhen family were all famous and had superb medical skills in the country and abroad.
However, the girl in front of her was only in her twenties and was unknown. Whether it was her qualifications or abilities, she was far from the Zhen family’s requirements.
So many famous doctors were helpless against the poison, so how could she cure it?
“Old Lady, you’re wrong. Even if I had the guts, I wouldn’t dare to deceive you.”
Miao Leshan’s smile disappeared and his expression became more serious. “If Qianqian didn’t have the ability to detoxify the poison, I wouldn’t have dared to recommend her to you. I wouldn’t have brought her here personally.”
Old Lady Zhen was still suspicious. She looked at Sang Qianqian and said, “Miss Sang, since you’re a colleague of Leshan, I’m sure you’re also well-versed in the field of Chinese medicine? How could you know about antidotes for foreign poison?”
“I can’t really say I’ve studied it.”
Sang Qianqian replied calmly, “It was just a coincidence that I met a professor who was extremely good at detoxification and thus knew the cure to this poison.”
“A professor who was extremely good at detoxification?”
Zhen Yiping frowned slightly. “I wonder who you’re talking about, Miss Sang?”
The Zhen family had invited all the well-known poison professors in and out of the country to their residence, but this was the first time they had seen this poison. In their excitement, they all treated the solution to this poison as the next difficult scientific research problem to tackle.
At present, some researchers had already obtained samples of the source of the poison, and the Zhen family was investing in research funds to conduct related research without stopping.
Although they have made some progress, it was far from being able to completely detoxify the poison. There was still a long way to go to cure Hanyu.
However, this young and beautiful girl in front of her actually said with such confidence that she knew the antidote. If she didn’t really have a secret technique, then she was just boasting shamelessly and didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth.
Sang Qianqian revealed Professor Fu’er’s full name. “More than 20 years ago, he had made great achievements in the field of pathology and poison. However, he had retired for many years.”
“I’ve heard a medical expert mention this Professor Fu’er. I heard that he’s eccentric and unsociable, and he’s never been in contact with anyone after retirement.”
Zhen Yiping’s eyes narrowed and he said calmly, “This person was admitted to the hospital not long ago because of burns and became a vegetable. Miss Sang, you must be very lucky to have met him.”
In other words, he suspected that Sang Qianqian was lying. However, Zhen Yiping couldn’t be blamed for his doubts.
In order to detoxify Shen Hanyu, he had asked almost everyone he could find.
An old medical professor that he had come into contact with mentioned Fu’er’s name before. Afterward, Zhen Yiping didn’t want to let go of any possibility and sent people abroad to find Fu’er. It took a lot of effort before they found his residence.
However, when the Zhen family’s people arrived, Fu’er’s house had been destroyed by the fire, and he was seriously injured by the fire. The doctor said that the possibility of waking up was extremely low, and it was inevitable that he would be paralyzed.
When the news came back, Zhen Yiping could only sigh and give up.
“You received the news too late. Professor Fu’er passed away a few days ago, and I was the one who took care of his funeral. Mr. Zhen, if you’re suspicious of me, you can go abroad to investigate.”
Sang Qianqian replied neither haughtily nor humbly, “But I don’t think the patient can wait that long. The longer this poison drags on, the more serious the aftereffects will be.”
She paused for a moment. “I’ve brought the antidote. Why don’t you let me see the patient and try this medicine?”
“This medicine was brewed by Qianqian in our hospital’s laboratory for several days. It was developed according to Professor Fu’er’s interpretation of the formula.”
Miao Leshan spoke up for Sang Qianqian as well. He wished he could just pat his chest and vouch for her with every chance he got. “Qianqian’s intelligence is one of the best among the younger doctors in our hospital. I know her best. If she didn’t have absolute confidence, she would never have volunteered.”
Zhen Yiping and the old lady looked at each other, and the latter nodded slightly. “Miss Sang is so sincere, and Leshan even vouched for her, so we naturally don’t doubt anything. However, before you see him, it’s necessary to explain the rules to Miss Sang.”
Old Lady Zhen caressed the cat in her arms and said slowly, “Miss Sang, you must keep everything you see and hear on this trip a secret. If this medicine doesn’t detoxify the poison and instead causes the patient’s condition to worsen or put his life in danger, the Zhen family won’t sit by and do nothing.”
These words were actually very tactful, but how could Sang Qianqian not understand?
“Of course,” she said with a smile. “If anything goes wrong, you can hold me responsible.”
The old lady nodded. “Then I hope that Miss Sang’s antidote can really cure the illness.”
This girl was very confident.
As a result, Old Lady Zhen’s trust in Sang Qianqian had increased by a lot. “Yiping, take Miss Sang to see Hanyu personally.”
Zhen Yiping nodded and brought Sang Qianqian out of the living room.
They walked down the winding path from the back of the house and soon arrived at Shen Hanyu’s residence, which was situated in a separate courtyard within the residence.
“Miss Sang, please wait a moment.”
Zhen Yiping gestured for Sang Qianqian to wait outside the bedroom while he pushed the door open and entered.
The door was ajar, and Sang Qianqian could vaguely hear the sounds of coughing and conversation coming from inside.
“Is there a physician coming today?” Shen Hanyu’s voice was a little hoarse.
“Yes, the other party brought an antidote and vowed that it could cure your poison.”
As the head of the Zhen family and as Shen Hanyu’s uncle, Zhen Yiping didn’t put on any airs in front of Shen Hanyu. Instead, he was extremely gentle. “Your grandmother said that you should try this medicine.”
Shen Hanyu’s voice was emotionless as he said, “Alright,” he said.
Zhen Yiping turned around with a smile and called out to Sang Qianqian, who was outside the door, “Doctor Sang, please come in.”
When he heard this “Dr. Sang”, Shen Hanyu’s eyebrows twitched, and he looked up at the figure who had just walked in.
His eyes widened, and his entire body froze.
“Hanyu, Hanyu?”
Seeing Shen Hanyu staring at Sang Qianqian as if he had lost his soul, Zhen Yiping was surprised. “You know this Dr. Sang?”
This was the first time he had seen Shen Hanyu lose his composure.
Shen Hanyu finally looked away and said calmly, “Uncle, please leave first. I have something to say to Dr. Sang alone.”
