Urban God-level Youth

Qin Hao showed no sign of pride, speaking calmly, "I didn't expect Mr. Xu had heard of my name."

Xu Jiekang felt relieved when Qin Hao responded to him, "Qin Hao, your fame has long spread across the nation, it's not an exaggeration to say it's a household name."

Upon hearing his praise, Qin Hao smiled and said, "You flatter me, Mr. Xu. Let's go inside to talk."

Liang Chengwang came to his senses, "Right, right, look at my memory, please, everyone come inside."

The group walked into the pharmacy, and then under Liang Chengwang's guidance, they went into a room in the back.

Liang Ya brought over a set of tea utensils and brewed a cup of fragrant tea for each person.

Xu Jiekang started directly, "Qin Hao, I've asked you to come over this time to have a look at my daughter's illness."

Qin Hao nodded slightly. Xu Jiekang seemed to have aged a bit since before, his demeanor carried a trace of worry.

Since that return trip, he had taken his daughter to see many traditional medicine experts.

It was from that time that her illness became apparent and grew increasingly severe.

However, those traditional medicine experts didn't know how to treat it, and eventually, he had no choice but to think of Qin Hao.

Now his daughter's complexion was extremely poor, looking like a woman in her thirties.

Xu Siyao looked at Qin Hao, with a glimmer of hope deep in her eyes.

These days she had grown a lot, and likewise had come to see the true colors of many people.

Those so-called good friends from the past, not one of them came to see her when she fell ill, and some even avoided her.

What was more unbearable were the former friends who mocked her behind her back.

In just a month's time, she had recognized too many faces and seen through too many hearts, and equally matured a great deal.

Qin Hao: "You should know how difficult your daughter's illness is to treat, right?"

Xu Jiekang nodded. If those experts could treat her, he wouldn't have come to find Qin Hao.

He said, "Qin Hao, name your price. As long as you can cure my daughter, I can accept any cost."

A smile appeared on Qin Hao's face, "I heard Mr. Xu runs a pharmacy in Jianghai City?"

Xu Jiekang: "That's right, a nationwide chain of pharmacies."

Qin Hao asked with a smiling tone, "So what is the total asset value of Mr. Xu's company?"

Liang Chengwang, Liang Ya, and Xu Siyao were stunned by his question, what did he mean?

Could it be that he intended to make a huge demand?

This was a golden opportunity, one that others wouldn't even have the chance to make such a demand.

Right now, only he could cure Xu Siyao's illness.

Xu Jiekang hesitated before saying, "The company's total assets are worth tens of billions, but I only hold thirty-one percent of the shares."

Thirty-one percent, which meant his assets were worth more than thirty billion.

Qin Hao: "If you want me to save your daughter, I want all of your shares."

Before Xu Jiekang could speak, Xu Siyao said directly, "Impossible, don't even dream about it."

Liang Chengwang and Liang Ya were shocked, but as this was a matter they couldn't comment on, they could only sit there and watch silently.

Xu Jiekang's brow furrowed slightly; he was caught in a dilemma between his daughter and over thirty billion in assets.

It was a difficult choice.

If it were him, Qin Hao thought he would also find it challenging—to go from being a billionaire to having nothing at all.

To have lived a life of wealth and luxury, and then to live in poverty, is no easy feat.

It's easy to slip from frugality into extravagance, but hard to go from extravagance to frugality.

Xu Siyao rose to her feet and approached her father, taking his hand to leave, "Dad, I don't want to watch anymore. Even if I die, I can't let this bastard benefit from it."

...

Qin Hao's expression remained unchanged, still wearing a faint smile on his lips.

Xu Jiekang did not move; he was still considering his options.

Xu Siyao knew how hard it had been for her father to strive until now after her mother's death in a car accident.

And now, to save her, her father would have to give up all his hard-earned accomplishments—something she could not accept.

Lately, she had been recalling many past events, feeling that she had been very willful and rude, causing her father endless worry.

She did not want her father to pay too much just for her sake anymore.

Xu Siyao's eyes reddened slightly, "Dad, I'm begging you, let's go back. I won't get treatment. I've been willful for so many years; please let me be this one last time, alright?"

By the time she finished speaking, her tears couldn't be held back anymore.

Liang Chengwang sighed internally upon seeing this scene, and said nothing.

Liang Ya's gaze towards Qin Hao had completely changed compared to before; she hadn't expected him to be that kind of person, her eyes showing a hint of disgust.

Xu Jiekang looked at Qin Hao, his eyes flickering with a determination, "I agree to your terms. Thirty-one percent of Yuan Kang Pharmaceutical Group's shares for you, as long as you can cure my daughter."

"Okay," Qin Hao nodded slightly in agreement.

Xu Siyao, already weak and exhausted, fainted on the spot after hearing her father's words and Qin Hao's response.

Xu Jiekang, who was close by, quickly caught his daughter, pleading earnestly, "Qin Hao, I'll agree to anything, just save my daughter."

In that moment, he was no longer the domineering General Manager of Yuan Kang Group but a father full of paternal love.

Qin Hao said, "Take her to a room."

Xu Jiekang hurriedly carried his daughter to a room and laid her down on the bed.

Qin Hao said, "I will need to perform acupuncture on her abdomen's dantian area soon. You don't mind, do you?"

Xu Jiekang replied, "It's no problem at all, Qin Hao, please go ahead with the treatment."

Qin Hao nodded slightly, "Mr. Xu, go prepare the documents. Mr. Liang should have a printer here. No one must disturb me while I am treating her."

Once everyone had left, Qin Hao stood by the bedside and asked Xiao Ying, the system, "Xiao Ying, to what level must my medical skill reach in order to cure her illness?"

He possessed a life-saving elixir, but he did not want to waste it, for it was a miraculous medicine for saving lives.

Xiao Ying replied indifferently, "Level 3."

Qin Hao used up 3,600 skill points to raise his medical skill to Level 3, and with it, new information flooded his mind.

After digesting the information, he looked towards the bed where Xu Siyao lay.

Xu Siyao was wearing a dress, which presented him with a dilemma; it would have been easier if she had been wearing a T-shirt and shorts.

How should he remove the dress? If she was not wearing anything underneath, wouldn't that take undue advantage of her?

Qin Hao turned his head and saw a pair of scissors on the dressing table; he picked them up and cut out a piece of the fabric over her abdomen.

Now that his medical skill had reached Level 3, he could perform the Nine-Nine Returning to the Origin Needle Skill, specifically designed to treat conditions like Xu Siyao's, which stemmed from a congenital deficiency of vital energy.

The needle application did not take long, but after more than half an hour, only when Xu Siyao's complexion became rosy did he remove the silver needles.

He then found paper and a pen, and wrote down a prescription.

With just one and a half months of taking the medicine, her condition was almost certain to be cured.

To many experts, her illness seemed difficult to treat, even feeling impossible to begin with.

But to a true master of traditional Chinese medicine, the answer was simple: with the right skill and medicine, cure follows naturally.

Just like problems that seem difficult to laymen are actually quite simple in the hands of professionals.
