Chapter 358: Gu Yan Visiting to Treat Someone

As it is said, when good things happen, the spirit is lifted.

Today, Gu Yan was in an excellent mood because he was experiencing a double blessing. He was beaming with joy as he made his way.

The first of these blessings was related to love.

Yesterday was the three-year anniversary of his marriage to his wife.

Oddly enough, his wife, who had always been insistent on a divorce, did not show up to finalize it at the civil affairs office yesterday.

In fact, she didn’t come home at all yesterday.

Though she claimed to be staying at a good friend’s house for a few days.

But Gu Yan knew better.

“Yuning has always been adamant about getting a divorce. She wouldn’t just forget about it on such an important day.

“So, now that she’s doing this, it must be because she doesn’t want a divorce anymore.”

“And she’s staying at her friend’s house because she’s embarrassed.”

“After all, she was so determined to divorce, but now she doesn’t want to. With her character, Yuning must be feeling awkward.”

“So, out of shyness, she’s avoiding me and went to her friend’s place!”

His reasoning was “well-founded,” and the more he thought about it, the more convinced he was.

“Alas, at the Old Madam’s birthday banquet, I was plotted against by that despicable Wang Haoran and had a little accident.”

“But despite this, Yuning still doesn’t want to divorce me!”

That, he concluded, was true love!

He felt both happy and moved.

“We are a loving couple, pursuing each other wholeheartedly!”

“Wang Haoran, you bastard, trying to steal my wife is just wishful thinking!”

However, although he thought this way, the influence of Wang Haoran’s family, the Wang Group, was quite significant.

He was worried that Wang Haoran might retaliate by causing trouble for the Su family’s company, which would be problematic.

“For the sake of a happy life with Yuning, I must give it my all at the Han family today!”

Riding his electric scooter, Gu Yan was filled with fighting spirit.

And that brought him to his second blessing of the day.

The head of the Han family, who had a good relationship with him, introduced him to a high-profile patient.

Reportedly, it was Zhao Ruilong, the head of the Zhao family, a prestigious family in city V!

This status was far more influential than anything related to Wang Haoran’s Wang Group!

Even though the Zhao family’s base was in city V, Zhao Ruilong, upon coming to city S, would still command respect from Wang Haoran.

Gu Yan was excited.

As long as he cured Zhao Ruilong, he could secure the support of the prestigious Zhao family.

In addition, with the Han family, the second most powerful family in city S, just behind the Wang family.

Combining these strengths, even toppling the Wang family wouldn’t be impossible!

“Haha, Wang Haoran, you’ll realize soon enough.”

“Driven by lust, you’ve provoked a fearsome enemy!”

***

Navigating through the twists and turns on his electric scooter, Gu Yan arrived at the Han family estate.

The guards respectfully led him to a villa.

“Brother Gu, you’re here!”

The head of the Han family, Han Yuanzhong, greeted him warmly.

“Master Han!”

Gu Yan responded with a smile.

The two had a good relationship.

Previously, at just over forty years old, Han Yuanzhong had suffered an unmentionable injury and sought treatment for years without success.

Ultimately, it was Gu Yan who helped him recover.

Revitalized and grateful, Han Yuanzhong was deeply impressed by Gu Yan’s medical prowess and admired him greatly, treating him as a distinguished guest.

But now.

Gu Yan noticed that Han Yuanzhong seemed… thinner and frailer than before? His back slightly hunched?

Moreover…

“Master Han, why does your voice sound hoarse?”

“My voice? Haha, that’s because… I had barbeque yesterday and overdid it. Plus, I drank the whole night, so my throat got affected!”

I see. Gu Yan kindly reminded him:

“Master Han, I’ve advised you before, you should quit drinking.”

“Both wine and women can do harm, but wine does more damage!”

“You’re drinking so much now, there’s a high chance of your condition relapsing!”

“In that case, I’d have to trouble Brother Gu again in the future!”

Brushing it off with a laugh, Han Yuanzhong led Gu Yan inside the house.

“Brother Gu, come with me.”

“The head of the prestigious Zhao family is inside!”

“He had the same condition as I did before, so, after hearing that I was cured by you, he hurried over!”

They entered a room filled with various medical instruments.

In the middle, on a bed, lay a middle-aged man.

Seeing the two enter, the middle-aged man immediately asked anxiously.

“Master Han, is this young man the renowned doctor?”

“Yes indeed! Brother Gu’s medical skills are exceptional!”

At Han Yuanzhong’s signal, Gu Yan approached and conducted a preliminary examination.

Then, seeing Gu Yan close his eyes in contemplation, occasionally frowning, the middle-aged man grew nervous.

“Doctor, can it be cured?”

“…It will be difficult.”

Gu Yan’s expression was serious.

But in reality, curing the middle-aged man’s condition was easy for him.

His performance aimed to make the head of the Zhao family understand the “effort involved,” ensuring greater gratitude after a successful treatment.

That’s the way of the world!

However, outwardly, he maintained a pressured look—

“But I will do my best and give it my all!”

Han Yuanzhong trusted Gu Yan’s capabilities: “Haha, Master Zhao, rest assured! With Brother Gu in charge, there’s no problem!”

Then he turned to Gu Yan.

“Brother Gu, do you need nurses or assistants?”

“No need, let everyone leave; I need to concentrate!”

Gu Yan, not requiring anyone’s help, began the serious treatment after the others left.

***

Nearly an hour later.

Gu Yan finally exited the room.

Han Yuanzhong immediately went to check on him, concerned: “Brother Gu, did it go well?”

With a slight smile, Gu Yan replied, “Everything went smoothly. Master Zhao is feeling much better already!”

“With two more treatments, he’ll be completely cured!”

“As expected of Dr. Gu!”

Han Yuanzhong joyously praised, “Now we can secure the friendship of the prestigious Zhao family!”

Subsequently.

In high spirits, he quickly poured Gu Yan a cup of tea.

“Brother Gu, after working so hard, you must be thirsty. Have some tea!”

Tea?

Han Yuanzhong handed him a cup of steaming hot tea, though not scalding hot.

Feeling a bit thirsty, Gu Yan accepted the cup.

“Master Han, you are too kind!”

He then drank the tea in one gulp.
