Super Insane Doctor of the Goddess Chapter 3 - 3: Can’t Live A Few Days More
Previously on Super Insane Doctor of the Goddess...
The entire room was struck dumb in an instant!
The original assumption was that Su Qingmei and Su Wanqiu had arrived to participate in the engagement festivities!
Clearly, that was far from the truth!
Furthermore, it appeared that Third Madam Su and Young Miss Su had come specifically for this wild brat!
But how could such a thing be possible?
On one side stood the prestigious Su family, while on the other was a boy who lived like a savage. There was simply no basis for comparison between them.
Even Yang Luo was surprised that these two stunning women had actually tracked him down here!
“Beautiful, are you feeling any better?”
Yang Luo turned toward Su Wanqiu and inquired.
With a soft smile, Su Wanqiu replied, “It is all thanks to you, Mr. Yang. My health has improved significantly.”
Liu Changhe stepped forward, his face full of bewilderment. “Third Madam Su, are you actually acquainted with this boy?”
Su Wanqiu gave a cool nod. “This gentleman is both my savior and my friend,” she stated flatly.
Liu Yuwei also approached, forcing a stiff laugh. “Third Madam Su, could there be some misunderstanding? This kid is just a hillbilly from the mountains…”
Su Qingmei cut her off with a frown before she could finish.
“What does coming from the mountains have to do with anything? Does that disqualify him from being our friend?”
She had sensed the friction between Yang Luo and the Liu family the moment she entered, so she saw no reason to be polite to them.
Liu Yuwei scrambled to explain, “Miss Su, you misunderstand me.
“I only mean that given your noble status as the Third Madam and Young Miss of the Su Family, how can you associate with someone of such low caste?”
Su Qingmei’s gaze turned icy. “Miss Liu, I don’t believe the Su family needs your permission regarding our choice of friends, do we?”
Stunned by the sharp retort, Liu Yuwei stood there with her mouth agape, unable to find words.
However, Liu Yuting spoke up irritably, “We’re only trying to warn you against befriending such shady characters. Why are you being so rude?”
“Hmm?”
Su Qingmei turned slowly, her cold eyes boring into Liu Yuting.
Terrified, Liu Changhe immediately barked at Liu Yuting, “Shut your mouth!”
Liu Yuting felt wronged and complained, “Grandpa, I didn’t say anything wrong!”
“I told you to shut up!”
Erupting in a fit of rage, Liu Changhe lunged forward and slapped Liu Yuting across the face.
The force of the blow sent Liu Yuting hitting the floor, where she began to sob loudly.
Wiping cold sweat from his brow, Liu Changhe forced a smile and said, “Miss Su, I hope you can overlook the ignorance of the younger generation!”
He had no choice. While the Liu family was considered wealthy, they were insignificant compared to the Su family.
Offending the Su family would make it nearly impossible for the Lius to maintain their standing in Jiang City.
“Miss Su, your reputation precedes you. I am Zhao Tianheng of the Zhao family!”
Zhao Tianheng chose this moment to step out, wearing a smooth smile as he offered his hand to Su Qingmei.
As the woman of every young master’s dreams in Jiang City, Su Qingmei was someone he had long desired to meet.
“Are we close?”
Su Qingmei’s expression remained frigid, and she made no move to accept his hand.
Feeling the sting of rejection, Zhao Tianheng pulled his hand back awkwardly. “Miss Su, I’ve simply been looking for a chance to introduce myself…”
Ignoring him entirely, Su Qingmei smiled warmly at Yang Luo. “Mr. Yang, my aunt and I have a favor to ask of you. Would that be possible?”
The sight of Su Qingmei’s radiant smile left every man in the room breathless. Their hearts throbbed as if they were experiencing the rush of a first love all over again!
Yang Luo grinned and nodded. “Of course.”
“Wonderful!”
Su Qingmei beamed with joy. “Mr. Yang, let us speak privately outside!”
“Very well.”
Yang Luo nodded, preparing to depart with the two women.
But before stepping out, Yang Luo cast a detached glance at Liu Changhe. “Liu Changhe, a word of advice.
Go ahead and order a coffin. Your time is running out.”
“You little brat, you—”
Liu Yuwei started to snap back, but a sharp look from Liu Changhe silenced her.
He could see clearly that the Su family women were protecting Yang Luo, and he wasn't about to jeopardize his relationship with the Sus over a boy.
Nevertheless, Liu Changhe’s face was dark with suppressed fury.
Such a curse would enrage anyone.
He dismissed it as an empty threat, however. He felt perfectly healthy and believed he had at least another decade of life left in him.
What truly bothered him was how a boy fresh from the mountains had managed to connect with the Su family.
Meanwhile, Zhao Tianheng stared with eyes full of malice, burning the grudge against Yang Luo and his interaction with Su Qingmei into his memory.
As the three of them exited the Liu family estate…
Yang Luo asked, “So, what kind of assistance do you two beauties require?”
He felt a measure of goodwill toward them. They had given him a ride into town and had just helped him humble the arrogant Liu family, so he was inclined to help.
Furthermore, being new to Jiang City, having influential allies would be beneficial for his future endeavors.
Su Qingmei explained, “Mr. Yang, I need you to save my grandfather’s life.”
Yang Luo gave a confident nod. “Then you’ve come to the right man. There isn't a single malady in this world that I cannot cure.”
“Mr. Yang, you haven't even heard the diagnosis yet. How can you be so certain?”
Su Qingmei knit her brows, thinking Yang Luo was being boastful.
He hadn't even examined the patient, yet he spoke with such arrogance.
She began to wonder if bringing him along was a mistake.
Yang Luo caught her expression and smiled. “Have no fear. As long as there is still a breath in his body, I can bring him back.”
Though she found his confidence borderline delusional, Su Qingmei realized he was her only remaining hope.
Su Wanqiu spoke up, “Mr. Yang, let’s head to the hospital immediately.”
“Lead the way.”
Yang Luo agreed and climbed into the car with them, speeding toward the Jiang City Central Hospital.
…
Inside a VIP ward at the Jiang City Central Hospital…
Huang Tai’an, the most prominent of the four divine doctors in the city, was focused on the elderly man lying in the bed.
The atmosphere in the room was thick with anxiety.
Tang Dexin, the hospital dean, was particularly frantic.
The stakes couldn't be higher; the patient was Su Guoxiong, the patriarch of the Su family—the most powerful clan in Jiang City.
In his prime, Su Guoxiong had been a top-tier provincial official with immense influence.
If the old man died under his watch, Tang Dexin’s career as dean would be over.
The minutes ticked by.
After half an hour of intense work, Huang Tai’an let out a heavy sigh and began removing the silver needles from Su Guoxiong’s acupoints.
“Divine Doctor Huang, what is the status of Old Master Su?”
Tang Dexin asked urgently.
The rest of the family looked on with bated breath.
Huang Tai’an shook his head mournfully. “If only I had mastered the final three stages of the Nine Needles of Revolving Yang, I might have stood a chance. Regrettably, that level of skill is beyond me…”
“Divine Doctor Huang, there must be something else you can do!”
“Please, if you save my father, the Su family will grant you anything you desire!”
Su Wenfeng and Su Wenbin, the old man’s sons, pleaded desperately.
Huang Tai’an looked pained. “I hold Old Master Su in the highest regard. If a cure existed within my power, I would provide it. But my medical expertise has reached its limit.
“To speak plainly, I doubt the Old Master will survive past midnight. It is time to make the funeral arrangements…”
All hope vanished!
If the Great Divine Doctor Huang had surrendered, then no one in Jiang City could possibly succeed!
Su Wenfeng and Su Wenbin collapsed into despair.
The dean and the other doctors could only offer silent sighs of grief.
Suddenly, a voice rang out from the doorway.
“And who decided this old man won't make it past midnight?”
