The Wang Family.
Since Jiang Xiaoyue last treated Old Master Wang, his health had been gradually recovering.
Today, after dinner, Old Master Wang was preparing to practice calligraphy with a brush in hand.
Before he could even finish writing the first character, the brush suddenly slipped from his grasp.
Following that, the old man clutched his chest and slumped into his chair, his body convulsing violently.
The caregiver by his side was terrified and, after helping him to bed, quickly summoned the Wang Family's private doctor.
Soon, Doctor Zhou arrived to examine Old Master Wang.
Upon hearing the news, the rest of the Wang Family members rushed over.
Seeing Old Master Wang pale and lying in bed, they were all extremely anxious.
Just a few days ago, the old man's health had improved. How could this happen again?
After the examination, Wang Yixue hurriedly asked, "Doctor Zhou, how is my grandfather?"
Doctor Zhou's face was filled with confusion as he shook his head.
"Old Master Wang's condition is quite critical. His organs are beginning to fail, but we can't pinpoint the exact cause. I suggest we urgently call Jiang Xiaoyue."
Although he was a renowned expert in the country, this was the first time he had encountered such a symptom.
Despite the severity of the issue, they couldn't identify the root cause.
Wang Yixue immediately picked up her phone and called Jiang Xiaoyue.
After confirming her location, she quickly arranged for the Wang Family's private helicopter to fetch her.
When Jiang Xiaoyue arrived, she rushed over with her small handbag and began examining Old Master Wang.
After a thorough check, she couldn't help but look puzzled.
The old man's condition was extremely dire, yet she couldn't identify the problem.
"Xiaoyue, what's wrong with my grandfather?"
Seeing the confusion on Jiang Xiaoyue's face, Wang Yixue felt a pang of panic.
The other Wang Family members also looked flustered.
With Old Master Wang, the Wang Family was a different entity altogether.
"I can't determine the issue, but Old Master Wang's condition is indeed critical. If it's not resolved within a day, it could be..."
Jiang Xiaoyue's expression was grim.
She hadn't expected that even with her medical skills, she couldn't diagnose the problem.
This was the first time she had encountered such a challenging case!
Upon hearing Jiang Xiaoyue's words, everyone's faces turned ashen.
If even Jiang Xiaoyue couldn't find the problem, what were they to do?
At the back of the crowd, Wang Rulong's eyes gleamed with a hint of relief.
When Jiang Xiaoyue arrived earlier, he had been extremely nervous, fearing she might uncover something.
Fortunately, she couldn't solve the issue.
Last time, he had planned to collaborate with Young Master Ye to freeze the Wang Family's liquid assets, hoping to oust Wang Yixue from the center of power and take her place.
However, for some reason, the plan had failed!
Not only had Wang Yixue detected the scheme, but she had also turned the tables on Young Master Ye.
It had scared him quite a bit.
Later, seeing that Wang Yixue didn't seem to suspect him, he assumed it was just a minor coincidence, and his identity remained unexposed.
As for today's events, it was all his doing!
After the plan failed, Young Master Ye had come up with another strategy!
He instructed Wang Rulong to target Old Master Wang directly!
With the old man gone, the issue of succession would have to be decided!
According to family rules, the family's power would ultimately fall into the hands of the male heir!
Without Old Master Wang's protection, Wang Yixue's power would be untenable!
"Grandfather, please don't blame me for being ruthless. It's just that you were too biased."
Wang Rulong sighed inwardly, feeling a tinge of guilt.
But compared to power, what did this matter?
"What should we do now? Should we call Jiang the Old Divine Doctor to try?"
Wang Yixue asked, her voice filled with bitterness.
Jiang Xiaoyue shook her head.
"I can't diagnose the problem, and even if my grandfather came, it might not help. This situation is quite troublesome, but there's one person who can assist me."
"Who?"
"Tang Yu." Jiang Xiaoyue replied.
Last time at the Tang Family, she had eavesdropped on Tang Yu's thoughts and discovered that he had mastered the Qingnang Tianjing (a legendary medical text) and had even reached the realm of "Rushen" (a state of divine understanding in medicine).
Since she couldn't find the issue, she could only rely on him to use his Rushen state to determine where Old Master Wang's body was malfunctioning.
Wang Yixue was surprised that Jiang Xiaoyue would suggest bringing Tang Yu over.
But given the life-and-death situation concerning her grandfather, she didn't question it further. She quickly took out her phone and called Tang Yu.
At that moment, Tang Yu was in his office, playing a game with Chi Yin.
He had noticed that ever since he had assigned her to work here, playing games and reporting data daily, she had been quite diligent.
From morning to evening, she barely moved from her seat.
When it came to ordering takeout, she was quite enthusiastic.
At least three cups of milk tea and various junk foods every day.
It was as if she were a slacking, sedentary otaku!
However, Tang Yu was well aware that this was all part of the woman's superb acting skills!
She was merely trying to lull him into a false sense of security with her hardworking appearance, aiming to achieve her goal of stealing classified information.
Tang Yu didn't mind.
After all, all the documents had been tampered with. If she wanted to steal them, she could take as many as she liked.
Upon receiving Wang Yixue's call, Tang Yu picked up the phone and said, "What's up?"
"Where are you now? I'll send a helicopter to pick you up. My grandfather is on the brink of death. You need to come over right away."
Wang Yixue's voice was filled with urgency and a sense of grievance.
At this most fragile moment, she really wanted to see Tang Yu.
"I'm at the company. Have the helicopter land on the rooftop of the office building to pick me up."
Tang Yu didn't waste any time. He dropped the game controller and hurried out of the office, heading to the top floor to wait.
Old Master Wang suddenly falling ill came as a surprise to Tang Yu.
According to the original plot, Old Master Wang remained healthy until the very end.
After waiting for a while, the helicopter soon landed nearby.
Tang Yu quickly boarded the helicopter and began pondering where things had gone wrong.
After several consecutive plot deviations, he had to admit that the storyline of this book had collapsed.
When the helicopter arrived at the Wang Family residence, Tang Yu stepped off and saw Wang Yixue waiting for him, her eyes red from crying.
"It's okay. Old Master Wang is a blessed man. He won't have any problems."
Tang Yu quickly offered gentle words of comfort.
"Alright, please go take a look now."
Wang Yixue grabbed Tang Yu's hand and pulled him toward the house.
Upon entering, Jiang Xiaoyue was in the process of administering acupuncture to Old Master Wang.
Although she couldn't find the problem, easing Old Master Wang's condition was still within her capabilities.
The Wang Family members' gazes all focused on Tang Yu.
They were curious why Jiang Xiaoyue had called Tang Yu over at this moment, as he didn't have any medical expertise.
"What's wrong with Old Master Wang?"
Tang Yu wasn't yet aware of the situation and asked Jiang Xiaoyue as he approached.
"I can't pinpoint where Old Master Wang's illness is coming from. I plan to try the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles to treat him, and I need your help."
