SRGA Chapter 156: Mr. Xu, There's Something Wrong Here!

Lin Tian drove away, leaving the onlookers stunned. Next to Lu Hongchuan, a man exclaimed, "Mr. Lu, wasn't that Zhao, the secretary?"

Lu Hongchuan glanced at him.

The middle-aged man he was speaking to was an insider, so recognizing Zhao, the secretary of the Second Elder, wasn't surprising.

"Yes, it was him. Don't spread rumors," Lu Hongchuan reminded him.

"Wow!" The middle-aged man gasped in astonishment.

The fact that the Second Elder had sent his chief secretary to pick up Lin Tian, the boyfriend of Lu Bingning, raised questions about his background.

"I understand, I understand," the middle-aged man quickly replied.

"What were you all talking about, honey? Who was that person just now? He said he was sent by a senior official to pick up Lin Tian," a woman next to the middle-aged man asked.

"Don't pry into matters that don't concern you. Mr. Lu, it seems like your Lu family might be moving up in the world," the middle-aged man said enviously.

Originally, he thought it was a pity that Lu Bingning had casually found a boyfriend, but now it seemed that his thinking was too narrow.

"Lin Tian's identity is probably quite extraordinary."

"A lengthened Red Flag sedan with two small red flags in front. Didn't that give you any hints?"

"Excluding deliberate showiness, that's impressive."

The others murmured among themselves.

Lu Hongchuan cleared his throat. "Everyone, there are other matters to attend to at home. Let's part ways here."

"Be careful on your way back."

Sometimes, they would return to the Lu family's villa estate.

After Lu Hongchuan's words, everyone dispersed.

"Ice, where did Lin Tian go?" Lu Hongchuan asked Lu Bingning.

Lu Bingning shook her head. "Brother, he didn't say. Dad, should I message him and ask?"

"No," Lu Hongchuan shook his head. "If he didn't say, his itinerary today might involve classified matters. Don't ask."

"Let's go back. We still have to deal with your uncle's matters."

...

An hour passed.

The car Lin Tian was in arrived at the Beijing Military Region General Hospital.

Director Cheng was waiting.

Although Lin Tian was young and might not be able to solve the problem, he was personally invited by the Second Elder.

"Mr. Lin, I'll wait for you in the parking lot."

"After you're done, give me a call, and I'll bring the car over."

Mr. Zhao, the secretary, said very politely.

He knew that Lin Tian was highly skilled in medicine, but more importantly, he knew Lin Tian's true identity—he knew Lin Tian was a martial arts master.

"Mr. Zhao, you don't need to wait. I may need quite some time, so I'll just take a taxi back when I'm done," Lin Tian hurriedly said.

Since Mr. Zhao was the chief secretary of the Second Elder, who had a driver when he traveled, and it wasn't him driving today, it was already a sincere gesture for him to personally come to pick them up.

Should he make him wait downstairs?

"Mr. Lin, but—"

"Mr. Zhao, there's no 'but.' If you wait downstairs, I'll be distracted during treatment."

"Mr. Lin, then I'll leave first."

The Red Flag car departed, and Director Cheng warmly said, "Mr. Lin, I've heard about Mr. Yang's rumors, you're quite promising at a young age."

"Director Cheng, let's not exchange pleasantries. Let's go straight in," Lin Tian said.

"Alright."

A few minutes later, they arrived outside Mr. Xu's ward.

A man in his fifties or sixties was standing outside the ward.

"Mr. Lin, this is Mr. Xu's son, Xu Xingguo."

Director Cheng introduced.

Xu Xingguo reached out and shook Lin Tian's hand. "Mr. Lin, Director Cheng said you might be able to help my father."

"Whether you can help or not, I'm very grateful."

Lin Tian nodded. "Director Cheng, arrange for him to have an examination. I suspect he has early-stage liver cancer."

Xu Xingguo was taken aback.

Director Cheng's face changed slightly. "Alright, I'll arrange it. Xu Xingguo, have you had your annual check-up this year?"

Xu Xingguo cleared his throat. "I feel fine physically. I've been busy this year and haven't had my check-up yet."

"You should go for a check-up soon."

Director Cheng said.

Xu Xingguo shook his head. "Director Cheng, it's not urgent. I still need to talk to Mr. Lin about my father's condition."

"Mr. Lin, please come in."

Lin Tian and the others entered the ward.

Mr. Xu, Xu Xingguo's father, was awake, but he didn't look too good, appearing very weak.

"Director Cheng, you're here."

"Help me up."

"Xingguo, did you bring the laptop I asked you to bring? I can still contribute to the country."

Mr. Xu said as he tried to sit up forcefully.

"Mr. Xu, don't move yet."

"This young man is highly skilled in medicine. If he can't cure you, I'll agree to your request, how about that?"

Director Cheng quickly stepped forward to hold Mr. Xu down.

"Okay, that's what you said," Mr. Xu agreed, somewhat surprised as he looked at Lin Tian. Lin Tian appeared quite young, so why did Director Cheng trust him so much?

"Mr. Xu, let me take your pulse," Lin Tian said with a smile as he sat down beside him.

He placed his hand on Mr. Xu's wrist, and soon Lin Tian understood that Mr. Xu didn't actually have any major illnesses.

"Mr. Lin, how is it?" Director Cheng quickly asked as Lin Tian withdrew his hand.

Lin Tian replied, "Mr. Xu doesn't have any major illnesses. He's been overworked for a long time, and his body is nearing exhaustion."

Mr. Xu exclaimed in surprise, "Young man, you're indeed skilled. You can discern so much just by feeling my pulse."

"I'm beyond treatment, just help me up," Mr. Xu smiled as he said.

"Mr. Xu, I didn't say you're beyond treatment," Lin Tian corrected him with a smile.

"Huh?" Director Cheng and Xu Xingguo looked at Lin Tian in pleasant surprise.

Lin Tian took out a small bottle from his pocket and poured out a round pill from it.

"Mr. Xu, take this pill."

Lin Tian handed the pill to Mr. Xu.

Without hesitation, Mr. Xu took the pill and quickly swallowed it with some water nearby.

"Young man, unless this is a miraculous pill, otherwise, even if I have one foot in the underworld, you won't be able to save me," Mr. Xu joked.

"Xingguo, bring out the laptop. I have some new ideas to discuss with you about the upgraded stealth aircraft," Mr. Xu urged anxiously.

Xu Xingguo looked at Lin Tian. Currently, Lin Tian was in charge of treating his father, so only Lin Tian knew the situation after taking the pill.

Lin Tian smiled. "There's no problem with helping Mr. Xu up."

"But the effect of the pill takes a few hours to kick in. I need to stay nearby to monitor. Will that be an issue?" Lin Tian asked.

Mr. Xu said, "Young man, feel free to stay. If you can understand what we're talking about, that would be a great boon for our country."

As it involved stealth aircraft, it was definitely classified information, but such confidential matters couldn't be understood just by glancing at them.

Xu Xingguo looked at Director Cheng.

Director Cheng smiled. "Mr. Lin was invited by the Second Elder, so there's certainly no problem with his identity."

Soon, Lin Tian and Xu Xingguo helped Mr. Xu up.

The pill gradually took effect, and Mr. Xu felt a warmth in his abdomen, and his spirits seemed a bit better than usual.

Xu Xingguo opened the laptop he brought.

"Xingguo, I have some new ideas and thoughts about improving the performance of the upgraded stealth aircraft," Mr. Xu began.

Xu Xingguo occasionally discussed with Mr. Xu.

Lin Tian sat on the side, able to see the laptop screen filled with various patterns and formulas.

"Mr. Xu, there's an error in the data here," Lin Tian pointed to one of the sections.

"Huh?" Mr. Xu and Xu Xingguo both looked at Lin Tian in astonishment.
