Super Soldier King and Cute CEO

Chapter 12: Chapter 12 Mother Tiger (Seeking Recommendations)



The old lady, upon hearing Tang Zhong's words, was momentarily stunned before hurriedly asking, "Young man, are you a doctor?"

"Sort of!" Tang Zhong led with this, since he had performed surgeries like setting bones and extracting bullets, all with a hundred percent success rate. He figured there shouldn't be any disease too difficult for him!

"Then… then thank you so much." The old lady seemed to see a glimmer of hope: "Please, come with me, my granddaughter is right here in the Mingcheng Hospital!"

Looking up, Tang Zhong realized for the first time that the huge building behind him was actually a hospital, a four-story building with 'Mingcheng Hospital' hanging on the topmost level!

"First, take me to see her condition!" Tang Zhong said.

"Yes, young man, let me tell you, if you can save my granddaughter, I would be willing to do anything for you!" The old lady said excitedly, her eyes welling up with tears, clearly showing how important her granddaughter was to her life.

"Rest assured."

The old lady quickly led Tang Zhong into the hospital, and soon they reached the intensive care unit.

There lay a girl of about fourteen on a hospital bed, with many tubes inserted into her nose, currently in deep sleep, with medical equipment buzzing beside her.

Seeing her granddaughter, the old lady's eyes instantly reddened, and her hands, wrinkled with age, grasped the girl's hand: "Tiantian, wake up, look at grandma, grandma is still waiting for you to go to college, how can you just sleep like this?"

Tang Zhong felt a twinge in his nose, seeing that this girl must have grown up with her grandparents. His gaze then fell on the girl, his brow furrowing slightly.

He saw that the girl's complexion was pale and she looked extremely weak, with sweat still beading on her forehead.

These were clearly the early symptoms of leukemia!

She needed to be treated promptly. If the condition wasn't managed soon, the girl's life could really be in danger.

At this moment, the girl woke up, barely opening her eyes: "Grandma, why are your eyes red?"

The old lady quickly wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes, smiling and saying, "My eyes aren't red, you saw wrong, see for yourself!"

As she spoke, the old lady opened her eyes wide so the redness could not be seen.

The girl smiled and said, "You're joking, right, Grandma? Is it because the doctor said I'm not going to make it?"

"Who said that, the doctor said you're fine, nothing's wrong, you'll be out of here in a few days!" the old lady said, forcing a smile.

All this Tang Zhong observed with a stirring in his heart, thinking this grandma was truly worthy of respect!

If that old man didn't come back, he would pay for this operation himself!

The little girl smiled again and then continued to sleep; her body was very weak and could not last much longer.

Only then did the old lady let go of her granddaughter's hand and led Tang Zhong outside the hospital room where nurses and patients moved back and forth.

"Savior, can you cure my Tiantian's illness?" the old lady asked anxiously.

"For now, go find a specialist and let them start the operation. I'll front the cost for the surgery," Tang Zhong said. In reality, he could cure the disease, but the method shouldn't be used unless absolutely necessary. After all, issues that can be resolved with money are minor issues!

The old lady was stunned, her eyes visibly trembling: "You… our Tiantian's benefactor, I am kneeling for you!"

With that, the old lady actually kneeled down.

"No, Grandma, by kneeling like this, you're shortening my life!" Tang Zhong hastily intervened.

Hearing the mention of shortening his life, the old lady quickly got up, but her face bore a strong expression of gratitude.

"Don't worry, young man, when my partner comes, we will pay you back."

"Money is a minor matter, go quickly and find a specialist, let them start the surgery!" Tang Zhong said.

The old lady hurried off to find a nurse at the front desk to prepare for the surgery.

When the nurse at the front desk, a woman in her thirties, heard the old lady wanting surgery, she promptly called the specialist. They all knew the old lady came from rural areas, felt extremely sorry for her struggle to treat her granddaughter, and did not dare to delay. In no time, the call was connected.

"Bed 021 for surgery, contact Dr. Zhang immediately!"

"OK."

The nurse put down the phone and hurriedly assured the old lady with a smile: "Auntie, please wait in the ward, I've already notified them, the specialist will be here soon!"

Hearing this, the old lady was moved to tears, grasping the nurse's hand and repeating endlessly, "Thank you, thank you, you are all good people, we will always remember you!"

At that moment, Tang Zhong took out his phone to call Monkey.

After all, who knew his card number? Only two people in this world: one was Monkey, and the other was his fierce wife Xia Yuqing, who usually managed his finances strictly. Naturally, only Xia Yuqing knew initially, but once when Tang Zhong asked Xia Yuqing for his card number, she bluntly told him to buzz off, refusing to let him squander money. With no other choice, he sought help from Monkey, who with some hacking skills managed to retrieve Tang Zhong's card number. Later, when Xia Yuqing found out, she strung Monkey and Tang Zhong up on a tree for a beating, accusing them of reckless spending, which led Tang Zhong to fear spending his hard-earned money and even forget his card number. Now he was calling to have Monkey check it again.

As for Xia Yuqing, Tang Zhong would never dare ask her; he could never forget this woman's place in his life—his cousin, practically a demon in human form!

When he first arrived in Langya, caught watching a movie at midnight, she had caught and severely thrashed him, causing him to remain ignorant about female anatomy to this day.

Back then, while others were enjoying their adolescence and flirting with girls, Xia Yuqing didn't allow him to flirt and even stood in front of him challenging him to try it on her. In the presence of Xia Yuqing, Tang Zhong was scared witless, let alone flirt!

Back then...

A teenager capable of developing morally, intelligently, and physically was ruthlessly stifled.

Talking about it brings tears.

Now, the important thing is to get through to Monkey's phone.

But it's unreachable, and several times it has been, "The number you have dialed is switched off."

Tang Zhong furrowed his brows. What's going on? Even if Monkey was scared of settling accounts with him, there was no need to be this afraid, to not turn his phone on for so long!

Now he needed money, there was no other way, he could only go to the tigress!

Suddenly, the hand Tang Zhong was holding his phone with began to tremble, just hearing the tigress speak made his heart tremble.

After some effort, he found the saved number, in the first position, because this Nokia phone was bought by Xia Yuqing for him.

Clenching his teeth, Tang Zhong pressed the call button.

He thought he would hear the tigress's voice, but unexpectedly the phone responded, "Sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off."

"No way, the tigress has her phone off too?" Tang Zhong couldn't believe it.

Then he redialed, but it was the same.

Both Monkey and the tigress had their phones switched off, they must have gone to complete a task.

Unable to get through on the phone, not knowing his own account number, where was he to find the money for medical expenses!

This was the crucial problem.

At that moment, Tang Zhong saw an old lady nodding and bowing to a doctor, heading in this direction; likely, this man was the so-called expert.

Soon, the old lady brought the expert over.

Along the way, every nurse and doctor they passed looked at the expert.

"I heard he's a leukemia expert. He has treated leukemia before, really impressive!"

"Do you guys know what this expert's name is?"

"No idea!"

"He's Zhang Wen, incredibly skilled, has published many medical papers domestically and internationally, very famous. I heard he even dined with the medical authority Yan Beitian!"

Suddenly, the young nurses around them gazed at Zhang Wen with admiration, not just for his capabilities, but having seen Yan Beitian was very admirable; after all, Yan Beitian was a true medical authority!

At that moment, Zhang Wen was walking arrogantly alongside the old lady, clearly looking down on her. If it weren't for maintaining his image, he would have left long ago. He was at Mingcheng Hospital to give a lecture, not to perform surgery, but then the old lady rushed on stage, announcing her granddaughter was sick. Zhang Wen couldn't lose face, so he agreed, though it would cost money.

This was Zhang Wen deliberately making things difficult, seeing the old lady's attire, knowing it would cost a lot of money, she would definitely look worried and wouldn't be able to pay, and he would be off the hook.

But unexpectedly, the money was sufficient, catching Zhang Wen off guard, so he was reluctantly prepared to proceed.

Along the way, as the old lady talked about working like a horse and ox, Zhang Wen was completely annoyed. Did he really need to work that hard for them?

They finally reached the door of the ward.

Zhang Wen saw Tang Zhong and immediately looked uncomfortable, figuring this laborer must be family with the old lady. Despite his thoughts, he needed to keep up appearances, so he said to the old lady next to him, "I've told you clearly, the medical fee this time is one hundred thousand!"

"One hundred thousand..." The old lady's expression changed slightly, but she nodded, "Don't worry, I've got it handled!"

Tang Zhong stood to the side!

"Let's go make the payment now!" Zhang Wen said.

The old lady walked hesitantly to Tang Zhong's side. "Young man, thank you so much, don't worry, I'll definitely repay you!"

Tang Zhong's face looked slightly uncomfortable; he had never expected to be unable to get through to either Monkey or the tigress, and now he was completely out of money. He could only chuckle awkwardly, "Grandma, I'm sorry, I... can't contact the person who has my money!"

The old lady looked somewhat sad.

"But don't worry, doctors have the heart of a parent—just mention it, and the surgery will surely proceed. In any case, Grandpa is on his way here, and we can let him go first. Once Grandpa arrives, we can make the payment then." Tang Zhong said.

Then he walked up to Zhang Wen.

Seeing Tang Zhong coming over, Zhang Wen said, "Why haven't you made the payment yet? Once the payment is made, we can start. My time is very valuable. Don't waste it!"

"Well, doctor, is it possible to start first? The money is on its way and will be here soon." Tang Zhong said.

Suddenly, Zhang Wen's expression darkened, and he said coldly, "Without money, what surgery would you have? Really, don't you know I'm an expert, isn't my time valuable?"
