As expected of a business elite, Situ Hao immediately controlled his emotions and used the "cater to their preferences" strategy from business skills. He asked in a very respectful tone, "Angel Teacher, you must have some important matter that requires money urgently for healing and saving lives. This does not diminish our respect and admiration for you. May I ask how much money Angel Teacher needs? We can provide it immediately."
Lin Yao inwardly praised Situ Hao. He truly lived up to his reputation as a business elite; the person who built this large chain of supermarkets was indeed different. His business acumen was undeniable, and his words were always spot-on. Particularly noteworthy was that he had instantly pinpointed the truth, explaining that he needed money for medical treatment and to save lives—a truly remarkable feat.
Lin Yao thought to himself, "My family is desperately short of funds. Can you really provide all of that?" Suppressing these chaotic thoughts, he tried to speak in a calm voice, "Five million. Treatment and recovery will cost five million in total. Professor Yue can check and verify the initial treatment after it begins, and one million two hundred thousand will be credited to your account within three days. If you have confidence in my medical skills by then, the remaining three million eight hundred thousand will be credited to your account within a week. Of course, this price is the after-tax price stipulated in the agreement; I am not responsible for paying income tax."
Situ Hao pondered for a dozen seconds, then immediately made a decision and said, "Okay, no problem. Angel Teacher, please do your best to treat my daughter. I will transfer all the money you mentioned to the designated account tomorrow."
At this moment, Situ Hao made his decision. Since Professor Yue Qiqiu had already approved of Lin Yao, he chose to trust him. There could be no hesitation or bargaining at this point. Just like in business competition, risk and opportunity coexist. As long as he was willing to invest, making this miraculous doctor with extraordinary medical skills have a good impression of his family was more important than anything else.
Five million is not a small amount, but it's nothing to my family. This kind of investment opportunity is rare, and we must seize it, even if the other party is really a swindler. You should know that no one can refuse this kind of investment return.
Lin Yao glanced at Situ Hao, his eyes full of admiration. He enjoyed dealing with intelligent people; it saved him time and effort. Situ Hao looked back at Lin Yao, his eyes filled with respect and admiration. He knew this young man would go far and high in the future, and establishing a connection now would benefit his family's future business and health.
At this moment, only Yue Qiqiu, a pure expert and scholar, was somewhat frustrated. He couldn't understand why Lin Yao had abandoned the benevolence a doctor should possess, nor could he understand Situ Hao's decisiveness and apparent joy. He could only suppress his frustration and decide to carefully observe and learn from Lin Yao's medical skills. At this moment, the image of the angelic teacher in his mind plummeted, having already fallen from its pedestal into the abyss.
"Let's begin. Please make sure the three of you stand at least two meters apart. Under no circumstances should you disturb my treatment," Lin Yao solemnly instructed the three people in the room before walking towards the little girl.
"Little girl, your brother will help you treat your illness. It won't hurt much. You have to be strong, okay?" Lin Yao said to the girl, whose appearance had completely turned masculine, as he walked to the bedside.
"Yes, big brother, I believe you. I'm not afraid of pain. You must heal me," the little girl said in a hoarse voice, her voice as rough as a middle-aged man's.
"Don't worry, your brother will definitely cure you. You'll become as beautiful as your mother, I promise." Lin Yao raised his right hand in a gesture of assurance, and then said, "In a moment, I'll cover your eyes with a strip of cloth so you won't move around when you see the needles, which would interfere with your brother's treatment, okay?"
The girl nodded emphatically, her eyes filled with longing and trust.
With a whoosh, the melodious sound of the hands, now only a blur, vibrating from the gold and silver needles covering the girl's body, intertwined to create a breathtaking scene. The three people watching the treatment were stunned, their mouths agape, and they even stopped breathing for a moment.

After the treatment, Lin Yao fell into a state of exhaustion again. This time, he sat on the ground for a full hour before he could recover a little bit of his true energy. His pale face was heartbreaking to see.
The little girl named Situ Yan was already fast asleep, while Professor Yue Qiqiu was still observing her forehead. He couldn't understand how such a thick gold needle could penetrate the skull from the forehead and go deep into the skull before being pulled out, leaving no hole on the forehead. There was only a faint red spot indicating that there had been a problem there. This incredible medical skill really shocked him. This skin repair technique alone had reached the highest level in the world, and it should be said that it had surpassed all similar techniques in the world.
Yue Qiqiu's feelings were complex. In just a few hours, or rather, a little over twenty hours, he experienced a rollercoaster of emotions. From respect and admiration, to surprise and doubt, then to conviction and anticipation, followed by incomprehension, and finally, astonishment at the other person's medical skills. It could be said that Yue Qiqiu's entire life experience of over sixty years was not as rich as those short twenty-odd hours.
Looking at Lin Yao sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, Yue Qiqiu wondered to himself, what kind of person is he?
Lin Yao opened his eyes and saw Situ Hao's concerned gaze. He smiled and greeted him. At this moment, he was really exhausted. He had used his true energy three times in one day to save people, and he might have to use it again in a few hours to treat Nannan. He felt a little overwhelmed.
"Angel Teacher, please take a shower first. I see you're soaked in sweat. We've prepared a change of clothes and a towel here. Thank you for your hard work today," Situ Hao said softly in a reverent tone. At this moment, he completely believed in Lin Yao's angelic identity. When that kind of miraculous medical skill, which was only in legends, appeared before him, he immediately knew that his daughter could be saved. His admiration for the angel deepened, and money was completely ignored. He should agree to any conditions proposed by this divine doctor.
"Okay, thank you!" Lin Yao also felt a bit uncomfortable. Sweating profusely three times a day had made him smell rather foul, and he definitely needed a shower. Lin Yao was very pleased with Situ Hao's thoughtfulness and couldn't help but admire his good manners. They say details determine success or failure, and this was certainly true. He felt quite pleased with himself, thinking that he would find it hard to refuse Situ Hao's help in the future, or at least he would seriously consider it.
When Lin Yao came out of the bathroom, Situ Hao had already prepared a late-night snack. The light and rich flavors were well-balanced, showing that he had put a lot of thought into it. This made Lin Yao even more satisfied with Situ Hao, and even admire him. It would be an injustice if someone like him didn't get rich.
"Teacher Angel, I am also a registered member of the forum, and I have always admired you." Situ Hao's words were just right, neither too loud nor too soft, showing respect without giving the impression of flattery.
“Just call me Xiao Yao, or A Yao is fine too. Anyway, we Chinese medicine students deal with medicine all the time. If you start calling me Teacher Angel, it will cause trouble later.” Lin Yao said with a smile. He was preparing to get closer to Situ Hao, and changing how he addressed him was the first step.
"I wouldn't dare, the people on the forum would kill me if they found out." Situ Hao was very happy to hear Lin Yao's words. He knew that the other party had accepted him, but his usual composure prevented him from losing his mind. He had to control his identity and position.
At this moment, Situ Hao's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood Lin Yao's intention to keep a low profile. He even hid his name, indicating that the other party did not want to be exposed at this time. So he tentatively said, "How about I call you Mr. Yao when we meet outside in the future?"
"Alright, Mr. Yao, he has the same master as Huang Yaoshi, haha." Lin Yao was very satisfied.
“Mr. Yao, we have prepared some of the precious medicinal materials you mentioned earlier. We don’t know if they will be suitable. These are some deep-sea pearls, South Sea pearls, toad molts, wild ginseng, cordyceps, and some other things. We don’t know how good or bad they are. Please see if they can be of any use to you,” Situ Hao continued.
"Hmm, these deep-sea pearls are of good quality. One of them looks to be over two hundred years old. Tian Shan snow lotus, South Sea pearls, and toad molts can all be used for Situ Yan's treatment. These medicinal materials can help her quickly recover her appearance. The other medicinal materials are also good, but they are not needed. Don't let Situ Yan use these medicines when you get home." Lin Yao knew at a glance that the deep-sea pearls were treasures, and the toad molt was definitely not the horn skin shed by an ordinary toad; it was a rare treasure.
"Mr. Yao, please use what you can to treat Yan'er. Keep the rest for you and use it on other patients in the future. We don't understand these things, and we wouldn't dare to use them casually even if we kept them. It's better to leave them with you." Situ Hao was very happy that this young miracle doctor was so fond of him. He immediately took the initiative to offer some gifts, just in case the other party refused.
Lin Yao nodded and smiled without saying anything, agreeing to accept these extra gifts, as he happened to be short of these precious medicinal herbs.
"I need to rest for a while. Please wake me up at four o'clock in the morning. I'll get up and give Situ Yan another acupuncture and some medicine. Then I have to go out to run some errands. You can stay here. We'll contact each other by phone later." After Lin Yao finished speaking, he went to a corner of the room to meditate and cultivate his Qi. He needed to quickly recover his true Qi and physical strength, otherwise he wouldn't be able to handle the day's affairs.
I was woken up at four in the morning. After giving Situ Yan acupuncture, I left Shangri-La and rushed to the train station to pick up Ge Yong and Nannan and take them back to my rented house. Lin Hongmei had already cleaned the room and prepared breakfast to welcome Nannan.
After Nannan took three emergency pills on the train, her condition was brought under control and there were no further relapses, which put Lin Yao at ease. He didn't give her acupuncture and medication until they got back to their residence, and then let her get some sleep.
Ge Yong appeared very restrained; this valiant man was restless, his heart filled with conflict and trepidation.
On one hand, Ge Yong was overjoyed that there was hope for Nannan's recovery. Nannan's illness had been given a death sentence by leading domestic experts, who even predicted she would die within half a month. He and his wife had resigned themselves to their fate, intending to make Nannan happy as much as possible during her final days. Unexpectedly, they met Lin Yao, who gave their family an unparalleled new life. He was extremely grateful to Lin Yao and would do anything for him now, even if it cost him his own life.
On the other hand, Ge Yong was also in a dilemma. The moment he saw Lin Yao, he accepted him as a brother from the bottom of his heart. He came from the country's special forces and was proficient in various skills of stealth and assault, including psychology and even the ancient and mysterious art of physiognomy. All his observations made him accept Lin Yao's purity and nobility at first glance.
Now that Ge Yong himself was destitute, seeing the living conditions at Lin Yao's house, he naturally understood their financial situation. Although Lin Yao had promised to find a way to pay for precious medicinal herbs to treat Nannan, the fact that Lin Yao, who possessed medical skills surpassing those of experts at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, was struggling to find the funds to purchase the herbs indicated that each of them was an extremely rare and expensive treasure.
This heavy burden was about to fall on Lin Yao, whom he had only met twice, which Ge Yong found hard to accept. However, he couldn't raise any more money. Was he just going to watch his daughter have a chance to recover but give up on her?
Ge Yong wanted to cry. This strong and resolute man felt lost and helpless for the first time after voluntarily leaving his beloved army. This society was too realistic and cruel, far less pure and rule-abiding than the army. It's true that a penny can drive even a hero to his death.
“Brother Ge Yong, don’t worry. Although it takes several precious natural herbs to cure Nannan’s heart disease in order to promote the growth of missing valves and the inner wall of the heart, I can control the condition to prevent it from worsening and can even alleviate it a little.”
Lin Yao sensed Ge Yong's complicated feelings and comforted him, "You don't need to worry about the money. Actually, I already have enough money to buy medicine, but I have something more important that I need the money for right now, so I can't go buy medicine immediately. I will definitely not let anything happen to Nannan. After this period, our family will not be short of money. At that time, I will help Nannan get better as soon as possible. These days, you and your sister-in-law can stay here to take care of Nannan. Our family members are all quite busy and won't have much time to stay here."
While checking the time in the taxi on his way to the North Railway Station, Lin Yao noticed a text message from Situ Hao saying that six million yuan in cash had been transferred to his bank account. He couldn't help but feel even more satisfied with Situ Hao; such a thoughtful and generous person, whose interactions with others were like a breath of fresh air, made Lin Yao decide to accept Situ Hao as a friend.
Among the medicinal herbs given by Situ Hao, deer placenta and deer heart ear can be used to treat Nannan. With these two herbs, Lin Yao is more confident that Nannan will not be in danger. After the production and sales of the drought-resistant beverage stabilize, he will buy enough medicinal herbs to completely cure Nannan.
"Thank you, Dr. Lin!" Ge Yong's voice was dry, and his nose felt a little sore.
"Brother Ge Yong, don't be shy. Just call me Xiao Yao from now on. People will laugh at me if they hear me called Dr. Lin." Lin Yao deliberately brought up some lighthearted topics to divert Ge Yong's attention.
"Brother Ge Yong, you guys rest first. The food at home is all prepared. Make your own lunch. We can't make it back in time. Call us if anything comes up. I didn't sleep tonight, I'm going to take a nap." After saying that, Lin Yao left the bedroom and went into the small storage room.
