“Naturally, we must go to the Liú family to hold a welcoming ceremony for you. Everyone is very much looking forward to your medical skills,” Liu Tianchao said with a smile.
“That would be wonderful! I am also looking forward to meeting everyone from the Liu Corporation,” Song Bing replied with a smile, appearing innocent.
“At this reception, you need to cure my son in front of everyone. This is your chance to prove yourself, and it is related to your future. I trust you won't disappoint me, will you?” Liu Tianchao asked, with a veiled threat.
“Please don’t worry, President Li. Since I have decided to serve the Liu Corporation, I will do my utmost to contribute without seeking any reward.” Song Bing patted his chest, already eager.
“Hahaha, good, I have high hopes for you.” Liu Tianchao couldn't help but laugh.
Liu Xuehai, standing nearby, was a little surprised.
Something was wrong?
This fellow wasn't like this before.
He didn't even give President Li Dà Chéng any face.
Why was he so obedient now?
Could it be that he feared the power of the Liú family?
Yes, it must be.
With this thought, a fierceness flashed in Liu Xuehai's eyes.
From now on, Song Bing would be a dog of the Liú family, someone he could order around at will.
He would definitely make Song Bing repay the humiliation ten, a hundred times over...
Chapter 37: Song Bing Enters the Liú Mansion
Liu Corporation's Grand Mansion.
Nearly a hundred core high-ranking members of the Liú family were gathered here.
Almost every one of them was a hospital director in charge of a region,
or an expert in a certain field of medicine in Anguo.
They were, indeed, high in status and full of honor.
But at this moment, they were all waiting for Song Bing's arrival.
They wanted to see what abilities Song Bing possessed to warrant such a grand effort from the Liú family.
Soon, several black luxury cars drove up to the mansion gates.
Song Bing, Liu Tianchao, and Liu Xuehai alighted from the Rolls-Royce Phantom.
The assembled Liú Corporation executives raised their champagne flutes, appraising Song Bing with great interest.
Seeing how young Song Bing was, many high-ranking members were surprised and began to discuss amongst themselves. The next second...
“Hello everyone, my name is Song Bing. I have joined the Liu Corporation, and from now on, we are all family. Please give me your guidance.”
As soon as Song Bing got out of the car, he became gregarious, and quickly went to shake hands with each of the Liú Corporation executives one by one.
He was so enthusiastic.
Everyone was taken aback by Song Bing's enthusiasm.
If they remembered correctly, Song Bing was captured by them through coercive means, wasn't he?
And yet, the guy was this happy?
Did this guy want to join the Liu Corporation from the very beginning?
With this thought, the initial anticipation of the executives turned into disdain.
After all this effort, wasting so much of their time...
They just roped in someone like this?
“Please give me your guidance.”
“Please give me your guidance.”
“Thank you all for valuing me and taking time out of your busy schedules to attend my welcoming ceremony.”
“I don't have much to give, so let's shake hands! Please don't be polite…”
……
Song Bing, ignoring the changing expressions of the Liú Corporation executives, continued to shake hands enthusiastically, bestowing his blessings.
He didn't miss a single person.
The accumulated two hundred points of merit were rapidly depleting.
But Song Bing didn't feel any heartache.
Look, the Liú family was so enthusiastic, they even went to great lengths to capture him.
It would be impolite not to give them something in return.
Looking at Song Bing's cheerful smile, the Liú Corporation executives were no longer simply disdainful; they looked at Liu Xuehai with suspicion.
Liu Xuehai and Liu Tianchao exchanged glances, their mouths twitching slightly.
They also hadn't expected Song Bing to be so enthusiastic?
It was as if he owned the place.
“Big brother, if this scoundrel can't cure Xiáng Fēng, let me have him for slice research!” Liu Xuehai said venomously in a low voice, his face filled with disgust.
“Xiáng Fēng also wants him to treat him. Let's see first. If he really can't cure him, he's at your disposal,” Liu Tianchao replied, always with a smile, but the ruthlessness in his eyes was even greater than Liu Xuehai's.
He then said loudly to Song Bing, “Young friend Song, everyone present is a core member of our Liu Corporation. Go and treat my son now! Everyone is eager to witness your superb medical skills.”
Song Bing insisted on shaking everyone's hand before coming to Liu Tianchao's side, smiling, “Yes, yes, absolutely no problem.”
As he spoke, he reached out to shake Liu Tianchao and Liu Xuehai's hands again.
He felt that the mental breakdown he had inflicted in the interrogation room earlier was not enough.
So, he gave the two of them a few more potent, explosive illnesses.
Liu Tianchao and Liu Xuehai didn't know why Song Bing liked to shake their hands so much.
But out of their upbringing and habit as people of high standing, they obliged.
After the handshake, they directly led Song Bing to a room on the second floor.
The other executives also followed up.
They watched with an air of amusement.
The door opened, revealing the scene inside.
Liu Xiáng Fēng was lying on a hospital bed.
However, he was bound by ropes and connected to various expensive instruments.
His face was sallow, his hair unkempt, and his limbs had been amputated to save his life.
His teeth had been pulled out to prevent him from biting his tongue to death if rabies set in.
His skin was covered in bandages due to ulceration.
…
It was hard to imagine that the once elegant eldest young master of the Liú family had become this way.
But for Song Bing, it was not surprising at all.
In fact, it was much better than he had anticipated.
Hmm, it seemed he hadn't inflicted enough illness back then.
Seeing Liu Xiáng Fēng's condition, the Liú Corporation executives found it difficult to look directly at him.
But they still played along, wiping away tears, though whether they were genuinely crying was unknown.
“Song Bing, this is my son. I know you two know each other. But now that you have joined the Liu Corporation, all past grievances between you and Xiáng Fēng are now settled. What do you think?” Liu Tianchao broke the silence, looking at Song Bing and smiling, with a hint of a threat.
Song Bing sneered inwardly.
Past grievances?
Colluding with Wú Yàxuě to frame him.
Causing him to be sued, banned from practicing medicine, fined, and his shop sealed...
Making him the object of public scorn.
This was called minor grievances?
“President Li, what are you saying? Let bygones be bygones. We only care about the present.” Song Bing also smiled.
He no longer cared about the past.
He only cared about the present.
“Hahaha, young friend Song is truly magnanimous. Then please proceed to diagnose and treat Xiáng Fēng!” Liu Tianchao said with a satisfied smile.
He felt that he had Song Bing under control.
“No need for a diagnosis. I have already identified the young master Liú's illness.” Song Bing smiled confidently.
As soon as he said this, many people began to sneer.
Liu Tianchao narrowed his eyes but still asked with a smile, “Then what is Xiáng Fēng's condition?”
“If I'm not mistaken, young master Liú suffers from more than one illness, but a rare combination of 22 types, many of which are incurable. These 22 types are rabies, impotence, sterility, AIDS…” Song Bing looked at Liu Xiáng Fēng on the sickbed and began to speak fluently.
Silence.
A dead silence.
Everyone looked at Song Bing, from initial sneers to shock.
Their eyes widened. Astonishment was an understatement.
Because Song Bing not only accurately listed the 22 diseases Liu Xiáng Fēng had contracted but also detailed their effects.
After all, during the period when they were treating Liu Xiáng Fēng, they had only managed to identify these diseases using high-end instruments.
This was also why they had sneered earlier.
Yet, Song Bing had seen it at a glance and stated it accurately.
How could this not shock them?
Of course, they didn't know that these illnesses were exactly what Song Bing had inflicted on Liu Xiáng Fēng...
Compared to everyone's astonishment, Liu Tianchao was undoubtedly the most shaken.
Because he understood Liu Xiáng Fēng's condition the best.
“Young friend Song, please treat Xiáng Fēng quickly! Tell us what medicinal herbs or instruments you need.” Liu Tianchao's gaze towards Song Bing had changed, filled with hope.
“Cough, cough, cough… Divine Doctor Song, save me. Divine Doctor Song, please, save me. I was wrong, I was wrong. I apologize for my past actions…” At this moment, the comatose Liu Xiáng Fēng also woke up. The moment he saw Song Bing, a glimmer of hope for survival appeared in his dim, death-seeking eyes, and he became agitated.
During this period, he had seemingly endured all the cruel tortures in the world.
22 incurable diseases! All miraculously appeared in him.
Isn't that amazing?
“Young master Liú, don't worry, I will do my best to cure you.” Song Bing gave Liu Xiáng Fēng a comforting glance.
Then, with his hands behind his back, he said calmly, “Prepare three hundred extra-large silver needles, one ginseng root over five hundred years old, a medical gown, gloves, masks, and alcohol.”
Song Bing instantly exuded the aura of a master.
Everyone was momentarily stunned by Song Bing's sudden change in demeanor.
It was Liu Tianchao who reacted first, “What are you standing around for? Didn't you hear what Divine Doctor Song said?”
“I… I'll go.” Liu Xuehai quickly went to prepare.
As the most accomplished member of the Liú family in medicine, he was in charge of various instruments and expensive medicinal materials.
……
Chapter 38: Song Bing Displays His Might, Astonishing the Liú Family
Soon, Liu Xuehai rushed back, holding a tray in his hands.
On it were all the items Song Bing had requested.
Song Bing calmly opened the box containing the six-hundred-year-old wild ginseng.
Then, under everyone's expectant gaze.
He began to eat it.
Liu Xuehai: “……”
Liu Tianchao: “？？？”
The Liú Corporation executives: “(#?Д?)”
What was going on?
Why did he start eating it?
Wasn't it supposed to be given to Liu Xiáng Fēng? Did he have to chew it and feed it to him?
Even Liu Xiáng Fēng himself parted his dry lips.
Completely bewildered.
However, seeing Song Bing's profound and steady demeanor, no one spoke.
Only after Song Bing finished the entire ginseng root and let out a satisfied burp.
His tenfold physical fitness prevented him from getting a nosebleed.
Hmm, not bad, just a bit monotonous in taste.
He'd try something else next time.
Song Bing smiled inwardly, glanced at everyone, then calmly put on his medical gown and went to Liu Xiáng Fēng.
Liu Xuehai's eyes flickered, and he closely followed Song Bing.
He hadn't been able to witness Song Bing's treatment that day, and now, on his home turf, how could he miss it?
The other executives also stared intently.
Seeing this, Song Bing immediately began his act.
Song Bing closed his eyes slightly, raised his hands, and began to circulate his energy.
“Pfft~”
Under the expectant gazes of the Liú family members, he farted.
“Young master Liú, bear with it. It will be over soon.”
Ignoring their strange expressions, Song Bing grabbed the three hundred extra-large silver needles and smiled slightly at Liu Xiáng Fēng.
Looking at these extra-large silver needles that felt longer than his life, Liu Xiáng Fēng's sallow face changed, and his body shivered inexplicably.
“Ha!”
However, Song Bing gave him no chance to regret it. With a loud shout, he began to insert the needles.
Starting from the mouth.
Song Bing's hand speed was incredibly fast, unleashing his 'ghost hand,' moving like a blur.
Focusing on accuracy and speed, he aimed for efficiency.
“Ahhh…”
After inserting just a few needles, Liu Xiáng Fēng let out a piercing scream. Everyone shuddered.
Watching those long, thick, extra-large silver needles penetrate Liu Xiáng Fēng's body, it was painful just to look.
However, seeing Song Bing's blur-like ghost hand, everyone's heart trembled.
There was no doubt in their minds; they just found it unfathomable.
Who among normal people had such hand speed?
“Could this be a lost ancient Chinese acupuncture technique?”
“Yes, highly likely.”
“What a profound acupuncture technique, it has truly opened my eyes.”
The Liú Corporation executives, ignoring Liu Xiáng Fēng's screams, began to discuss amongst themselves.
Their initial disdain and suspicion towards Song Bing began to turn into shock.
Liu Xuehai, observing closely from the side, his eyes darting around, felt dizzy.
Fast, too fast.
He couldn't see clearly at all, let alone learn it.
At this moment, his doubts about Song Bing vanished.
Feeling the astonishment from everyone, Song Bing's confidence soared, and he inserted the needles even more vigorously.
Full hand speed, avoiding vital points. Who cares about the needle technique, as long as it looks cool?
At this moment, he was like Rong Mama tempering people!
“Ah~”
Song Bing was engrossed in inserting the needles.
The Liú Corporation executives were engrossed in watching.
However, Liu Xiáng Fēng wasn't keeping up. Before Song Bing could even insert the 299th needle, he let out a final scream, foam came out of his mouth, and he began to convulse.
Seeing this, Song Bing quickly inserted the last needle, then stepped forward to comfort him, “Young master Liú, deep breaths, deep breaths. Dizziness is normal!”
“Song… Divine Doctor, stop… stop stabbing. I can't take it anymore.” Liu Xiáng Fēng pleaded while convulsing.
His eyes were already rolling back.
【Ding~ The patient's body is about to collapse due to rabies, asthma, and epilepsy. Host, please treat him quickly!】
Song Bing's expression changed slightly. He quickly withdrew these three diseases.
He didn't want the patient to die completely.
He hadn't tortured him enough yet.
Indeed, after withdrawing the three diseases, Liu Xiáng Fēng's convulsions stopped.
He gradually regained vitality, and on the heart monitor and other instruments, his readings became more active.
It was as if all the credit belonged to the acupuncture just performed.
Liu Tianchao and the others, who had been tense, saw this scene and were completely convinced of the profoundness of this acupuncture technique.
“Heh, how do you feel, young master Liú?” Song Bing asked with a chuckle.
“I… I feel much better, really much better. Thank you, Divine Doctor Song, thank you, Divine Doctor Song.” Liu Xiáng Fēng felt himself carefully and discovered that his body suddenly felt much lighter, and he became extremely excited.
Even his speech became more fluent.
“You're welcome, it's my duty.” Song Bing said with a smile.
“Hahaha, Divine Doctor Song truly lives up to his reputation.” Liu Tianchao also excitedly stepped forward.
The Liú Corporation executives looked at Song Bing with changed eyes.
A divine doctor, undoubtedly.
“President Li flatters me.” Song Bing smiled humbly, then said with a grave expression, “Now, I have helped young master Liú cure three diseases. The remaining 19 can only be treated in stages. Otherwise, I fear young master Liú's body might not be able to withstand it.”
“Then let's take it slow. We are now completely convinced of Divine Doctor Song's medical skills.” Liu Tianchao nodded repeatedly in praise.
No one doubted him.
After all, Liu Xiáng Fēng clearly couldn't take it anymore just now.
If he had continued, he would probably have really died.
“President Li, you can have him checked. If I'm not mistaken, young master Liú's rabies, epilepsy, and asthma should be cured.” Song Bing said with full confidence.
“Heh, how could we possibly doubt Divine Doctor Song? The banquet has been prepared. Divine Doctor Song, please!” Liu Tianchao said with a smile, gesturing with his hand.
The executives also made way as if parting for royalty.
At this moment, Song Bing became the protagonist.
He was escorted into the hall as an honored guest by the Liú family.
Liu Tianchao signaled Liu Xuehai to conduct the examination, then followed.
At the banquet, the atmosphere changed.
The Liú Corporation executives came forward to toast Song Bing themselves.
Liu Tianchao, as the head of the family, treated him with great courtesy.
His gaze towards Song Bing was filled with heat.
He had already regarded Song Bing as a future cash cow for the Liu Corporation.
To this, Song Bing did not refuse, smiling broadly at the Liú family.
The banquet lasted until late at night.
Liu Tianchao personally sent Song Bing back in a car.
Of course, as someone who had signed a contract with the Liu Corporation, Song Bing also had to be available whenever called.
It was equivalent to becoming a servant for the Liu Corporation, at their beck and call.
Song Bing was quite happy about this.
Whenever he came to the Liú family, he could have a good time tormenting the Liú family members. Why wouldn't he be happy?
Only a fool wouldn't be happy.
……
After Song Bing left, the Liú family's living room quieted down.
The smiles on the faces of the Liú family members all disappeared.
Liu Xuehai came downstairs at this moment, excitedly saying, “Not a single bit off. After examination, the rabies, asthma, and epilepsy on Xiáng Fēng are indeed gone.”
“Boom~”
As soon as he said this, the Liú Corporation executives all sharpened their gazes, their breathing quickening.
“This child is likely the son of some declining ancient Chinese medicine family,” someone speculated.
The executives nodded in agreement.
Diseases like rabies were incurable by modern Western medicine; only certain traditional Chinese medicine remedies might work.
“Then why not imprison him and make him serve the Liu Corporation forever?” one person asked, puzzled.
The executives' eyes were filled with greed, and they all looked towards the family head, Liu Tianchao, seated at the head.
To be able to cure so many incurable diseases, one could imagine the immense value of Song Bing.
It was conceivable how much money he could bring to the Liu Corporation in the future.
It was even possible to develop the Liu Corporation into the world's number one pharmaceutical group.
“Don't worry. The moment he signed the contract, his life was destined to be that of a dog to our Liú family. To turn a good dog into a loyal one, you must feed and brainwash it slowly. Pressuring too hard at once can lead to bites,” Liu Tianchao said, glancing at everyone, with a slight curl of his lips and a sinister smile. “What we want is not just for this child to serve the Liu Corporation, but for him to willingly pass on his medical skills to our Liú family.”
Upon hearing this, everyone trembled, and the greed in their eyes intensified.
“Family Head, your wisdom is unparalleled!”
……
Chapter 39: Sī Yǎ's Engagement
After the beginning of autumn.
The bustling nights of Andu grew a little colder.
Sī Family Grand Mansion.
In the magnificent dining room, more than a dozen direct family members of the Sī family were seated around the largest jade dining table.
Behind each family member stood a maid responsible for serving.
The dining table was laden with all sorts of luxurious and expensive delicacies, each dish almost costing the equivalent of an ordinary person's monthly salary.
Sī Hǎihuá sat at the head of the table. No one dared to pick up their chopsticks first.
The family seemed to be waiting for something.
“Grandfather, it's past dinner time, and Sī Yǎ still hasn't arrived. She's doing this on purpose,” Sī Ruǐ, dressed in a skirt, said with a pout from the seat at the far right.
“I'll go make a call to hurry her up.” Sī Yǎ's father, Sī Míng, his expression changed slightly.
“No need. This family dinner was prepared for Little Yǎ. What's the harm in waiting a little longer?” Sī Hǎihuá said displeasantly.
Sī Ruǐ's pretty face flashed with resentment, but she dared not speak further.
“I apologize. I'm late because of traffic. I'm here.”
