Chapter 394 Agreed to Save Someone

Jiang Yuheng said, "Tell Tang Jinglong and Fang Bingqing about Duan Bingtian’s misdeeds, I think with their character, they should support you in doing this."

Xu Yang’s eyes lit up, "That’s actually a good idea."

Jiang Yuheng glanced over at Fang Bingqing and added, "Fang Bingqing seems fine now, let’s go over there."

The two of them walked over.

At that moment, Fang Bingqing and Tang Jinglong were conversing, with no intimate gestures; they weren’t even holding hands, just talking like ordinary friends.

They were not participating in interviews; the ones being interviewed at the moment were other scions of the Medical Family and rich second-generation heirs.

All they needed to do was make a concluding statement at the end.

Noticing Xu Yang and Jiang Yuheng approaching, the two stopped talking.

"Mr. Tang, Miss Fang, hello, I’m Jiang Yuheng from River City." Jiang Yuheng was somewhat acquainted with Tang Jinglong and had only seen Fang Bingqing without ever conversing with her. Fang Bingqing probably didn’t recognize him, so he introduced himself.

Tang Jinglong and Fang Bingqing nodded with a smile in response, and then their gaze fell on Xu Yang.

"Mr. Tang, Miss Fang, this is my friend…" Jiang Yuheng promptly began to introduce Xu Yang.

But before he could finish, Fang Bingqing interjected, "You’re the owner of River Dredging Pick, Xu Yang, right?"

Xu Yang was taken aback, not expecting the other party to know him. He nodded and said, "Hello, Miss Fang, I am Xu Yang."

Fang Bingqing smiled and said, "I’ve seen your photo before. I especially like going to your River Dredging Pick for hotpot; the service is just too good. They say the owner of River Dredging Pick is a commercial genius. In just a short year, he became a billionaire. I’ve been thinking about when I might have the chance to meet you, and I didn’t expect to run into you here."

River Dredging Pick had already expanded to the domestic second-tier cities, including the provincial capital.

Tang Jinglong also said with a smile, "I’ve seen your photo too and often go to River Dredging Pick for hotpot. Bingqing and I have been there many times together. I also thought about when I could have the chance to meet you. They say I’m the leading figure of the younger generation in the province, but in front of you, I feel like I’m nothing. Your commercial achievements make me ashamed."

It wasn’t clear whether the two were being sincere in their praise.

Thinking to himself, Xu Yang said, "Mr. Tang, Miss Fang, I’m glad you know me, and I’m happy you both enjoy dining at River Dredging Pick. But Mr. Tang, you’re being too modest. My little success is all down to luck; I’m not in your league."

Tang Jinglong merely smiled and didn’t comment further on the matter.

Xu Yang didn’t want to chatter on pointlessly, so he looked at Fang Bingqing and said, "Miss Fang, actually, I came here to ask you for a favor."

Fang Bingqing asked curiously, "What is it?"

The two had just met, and she wondered what Xu Yang could possibly ask of her.

Xu Yang explained his situation, "My wife was in a car accident and has been in a coma ever since, with doctors saying she might never wake up. Jiang Yuheng helped me find out that your grandfather is a master of Traditional Chinese Medicine, with his acupuncture techniques being nothing short of miraculous, having cases where he cured such patients.

So, I would like to visit your grandfather and ask him to help save my wife. Is that possible?"

Fang Bingqing shook her head and said, "My grandfather is old and in poor health, he’s not able to help."

"Not able to help?" Xu Yang became extremely disappointed. He had a glimmer of hope, but now it was shattered.

He didn’t think Fang Bingqing was deceiving him.

After all, they were meeting for the first time. If Fang Bingqing’s grandfather could help, she could have found other excuses to brush him off, rather than saying her grandfather was in poor health and unable to help.

If Grandfather Fang was fine, Fang Bingqing’s words would be cursing her own grandfather, which would be completely unnecessary.

Jiang Yuheng had told him how much Grandfather Fang dotes on Fang Bingqing and how much she cares for her grandfather.

Fang Bingqing smiled and said, "You don’t have to be disappointed. Even if my grandfather can’t help, there are others who can."

Xu Yang’s spirits lifted, "Who else is there? I’d ask Miss Fang to tell me. As long as the person is willing to help save my wife, I’m willing to do anything."

From the side, Tang Jinglong said with a smile, "Mr. Xu, Bingqing has inherited her grandfather’s mantle and has even surpassed him in skill."

"What!" Xu Yang’s eyes widened before he spoke excitedly, "That’s wonderful, Miss Fang, can you really save my wife?"

Fang Bingqing nodded and said, "Of course, there’s no problem, My Medical Family has been in the field of medicine for generations, and I learned medicine precisely to treat the sick and save lives."

Xu Yang, still thrilled, asked, "Then, may I ask when Miss Fang would be available so I can bring my wife to the provincial capital?"

Fang Bingqing replied, "There’s no need to bring her to the provincial capital. Based on what you’ve described about your wife’s condition, I can make a basic assessment that she’s not fit for long-distance travel. If she were to knock her head, there might be further complications. It’s better I make a trip to Jiang City."

Xu Yang asked, "When will you be free to go to Jiang City?"

Fang Bingqing pondered for a moment and answered, "There are quite a few funds to confirm and finalize after this charity event. How about three days later?"

Xu Yang was overjoyed, "Thank you, Miss Fang. How much do I owe you for your help?"

Having finally settled the matter, Xu Yang let out a sigh of relief.

Fang Bingqing’s intervention came naturally at a cost.

It wasn’t simply a matter of good deeds and charity.

Fang Bingqing said, "I haven’t thought it through yet. I’ll tell you tomorrow, let’s connect on WeChat."

Xu Yang nodded, "Alright."

The two of them connected on WeChat.

Tang Jinglong, watching from the side, glanced over with a flicker of interest in his eyes.

Afterward, Xu Yang added Tang Jinglong on WeChat as well.

He felt very positive about both of them; they seemed like the kind of people he could be friends with.

Having such friends was also quite nice.

After chatting some more, Xu Yang brought up the situation concerning Duan Shaohui’s grandfather, Duan Bingtian.

"Duan Shaohui’s grandfather is that kind of person?" Fang Bingqing’s eyes widened in shock.

She wasn’t very familiar with Duan Shaohui, only sometimes joining him when friends went out together, with Duan Shaohui accompanying Tang Jinglong.

Tang Jinglong seemed quite fond of Duan Shaohui, entrusting him with various tasks, essentially making him Tang Jinglong’s top assistant.

Duan Shaohui also had a way with words.

Duan Shaohui addressed Tang Jinglong differently from others.

Others called Tang Jinglong ’Young Master Tang,’ but Duan Shaohui called him ’Brother Long.’

From this manner of address, one could discern the relationship between Tang Jinglong and Duan Shaohui.

If they weren’t close, Duan Shaohui wouldn’t have the privilege to call him ’Brother Long.’

In the past couple of days, ever since she became Tang Jinglong’s girlfriend, Duan Shaohui started calling her ’sister-in-law’ all the time.

As for what kind of person Duan Shaohui was, she had no idea, let alone knowing his grandfather was such a person.

And whether Tang Jinglong knew or not, she was also unsure.

"Is Duan Shaohui’s grandfather really that despicable?" Tang Jinglong’s expression turned somewhat unsightly, "I only knew that Duan Shaohui and his grandfather aren’t locals; they are new here. What’s your purpose in telling us this?"

There must be a certain purpose behind Xu Yang sharing this, it couldn’t be just to tell the story.
