64: 64 episodes.

So it was him.

He Wenbai entered the villa, and Xiao Haiqing quickly came up to greet him, saying, “Vice President He, you’ve finally arrived.”

He Wenbai apologized, saying, “I’m really sorry.

I was just performing a surgery and really couldn’t leave.

How is the patient now?”

Xiao Haiqing sighed, saying, “She woke up once earlier, but now she’s unconscious again.

I really don’t know if she can make it through this time.”

He Wenbai also sighed, saying, “Your daughter’s condition has been maintained until now, which is already quite difficult.

If there really is an accident, please try to accept it, President Xiao.”

Xiao Haiqing’s eyes slightly reddened as he said, “I’ve been prepared for this, but when the day actually comes, it’s hard to let go, after all, she’s my only daughter.”

“Let’s go take a look first.”

Once they arrived at Xiao Yingying’s room, He Wenbai checked her and quietly shook his head before walking out.

“Vice President He, is there any chance of delaying it?” Xiao Haiqing asked, knowing that hope was slim, but still looking at He Wenbai with a hopeful gaze.

He Wenbai shook his head and sighed, saying, “I am powerless.”

Xiao Haiqing’s face turned ashen, and closing his eyes, he took a deep breath and said, “Then how long do you estimate my daughter can last?”

“With her heart condition, she might last a few days, or it could be…

anytime,” He Wenbai said hesitantly, not wanting to state this cruel truth but as a doctor, he had to.

Xiao Haiqing’s lips twitched, and he suddenly looked years older.

Seeing Xiao Haiqing’s state, He Wenbai shook his head helplessly.

Given the situation, he had seen many similar cases in his lifetime.

There was nothing else to do but to accept it reluctantly.

“By the way!” He Wenbai suddenly showed a look of surprise on his face.

“What is it?” Seeing He Wenbai’s expression, Xiao Haiqing immediately became excited and asked, “Have you thought of another way?”

He Wenbai hesitated before saying, “I don’t have another way, but I recently met a master.

If we could invite him, perhaps he might have a solution.”

Xiao Haiqing clung to this like a lifeline, saying urgently, “Good, good, no matter the cost, it’s no problem.

Where is he?

I’ll arrange for someone to book a flight immediately.”

“No need to book a flight.

He’s local.

I’ll give him a call right now.”

Xiao Haiqing’s lips trembled with excitement, saying, “Thank you so much, Vice President He.

This is truly wonderful.”

He Wenbai moved aside to make the call.

Xiao Haiqing, knowing the other party did not want him to listen, stopped in his tracks and saw the bright red slap mark on Xiao Zhiming’s face, frowning and asking, “What happened to you?”

Xiao Zhiming bitterly said, “It was that scammer just now.

I took some men to catch him, but he resisted and he can really fight.

I brought six bodyguards, and he knocked them all down, and I ended up with a slap.”

Xiao Haiqing frowned and said, “Alright, let’s put this aside for now and address it later.”

Xiao Zhiming nodded, understanding that now was not the time to talk about this.

He Wenbai had just gotten through to Song Xiaodong on the phone, saying, “Mr.

Song, sorry for calling so late.”

“It’s fine.

What’s up?” Song Xiaodong asked indifferently.

He Wenbai explained, “It’s like this…

I have a friend whose daughter has a severe congenital heart disease.

Western medicine has completely failed.

She’s very ill and could die at any moment.

You…”

“Is her name Xiao Yingying?”

“Right, right!”

“Tell them I can cure her, but I won’t treat her,” Song Xiaodong said coldly and then immediately hung up the phone.

He Wenbai, holding the phone, was momentarily stunned.

What was that about?

Seeing He Wenbai finish the call, Xiao Haiqing hurriedly came over and cautiously asked, “What did he say?”

He Wenbai unconsciously repeated Song Xiaodong’s words, saying, “He said he can cure her, but he won’t treat her.”

“Oh…

he can’t cure her, huh.” Xiao Haiqing also subconsciously assumed the other party couldn’t treat it, as many cardiology experts around the world had declared it untreatable.

“Not that he can’t treat her, he won’t treat her,” He Wenbai’s lips twitched.

Xiao Haiqing was briefly stunned, then suddenly grabbed He Wenbai’s arm, asking urgently, “What did you say?

You said he can cure her, but he won’t?”

“That’s what he said,” He Wenbai grimaced, “There must be some difficulties.”

“Forget it, as long as he can cure her, that’s no problem.

No matter how much money, whatever he wants, I can provide.

A million isn’t enough?

I’ll give ten million, even a hundred million.

I’ll pay anything to save my daughter’s life.”

As He Wenbai recalled Song Xiaodong’s words, his face suddenly showed a strange expression.

“When I called him, he mentioned your daughter’s name himself.

It seems he must know her, or perhaps has treated her before.” Xiao Haiqing furrowed his brow, thinking, and said, “Really?

None of the doctors I’ve hired have ever said she could be cured.”

“Then why?

From his tone, he seemed very angry.

I wonder why.”

“What’s his name and where does he live?

What’s his number?

I want to talk to him directly.”

He Wenbai said, “His name is Song Xiaodong.

I’ll ask his number first.”

“Song Xiaodong?” Xiao Haiqing felt the name sounded familiar.

Chen Jun, who had no right to eavesdrop on their conversation but was very concerned about Xiao Yingying’s condition, had sneaked over and heard their discussion, immediately interjecting, “President Xiao, that’s the Mr.

Song I brought over earlier.

Didn’t I tell you that Miss’s condition improved a lot the last two times she was under his care?

I had already invited him over, but…”

As he spoke, Chen Jun turned his head to look at Xiao Zhiming with an expression full of regret.

Xiao Zhiming’s face suddenly darkened, and he said urgently, “Impossible, how could it be him?

He’s clearly a scammer.

How could a man in his twenties cure diseases that many famous doctors couldn’t?”

Hearing Xiao Zhiming say this, He Wenbai’s face hardened, and he snorted, saying, “A young man is a scammer?

It isn’t about age; it’s about having the will to do great things.

Many people have made significant contributions when they were young, and some achieve nothing when they’re older.

Judging by appearance…

it’s…”

He Wenbai didn’t finish his harsher words, instead looking at Xiao Haiqing and saying, “President Xiao, it seems you’ve missed a great opportunity.

There’s nothing more I can do.

I’ll take my leave now!”
