Alert! Miracle doctor released from prison

"There are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests."

Wu Chengze suppressed his anger and patiently said, "Our Wu family has already paid a bloody price. I admit defeat and admit my mistake. Now let's talk about your conditions for saving my son."

"No rush," Chen Huo said calmly. "Tell me about your son's condition. Only if I'm certain I can cure him will further negotiations be necessary. What do you think?"

Chen Huo was not persuaded by Wu Chengze.

Instead, he was very interested in what methods Zhang Xinglin had used to put Wu Yue in a life-or-death crisis and make Wu Chengze, the head of the Wu family with a superior position, lower himself to beg him.

"Let Zhang Xinglin tell you about this."

Wu Chengze handed the phone to Zhang Xinglin.

Zhang Xinglin naturally wouldn't say that Wu Yue's current condition was caused by the medicine he administered; he only described Wu Yue's current physical condition and illness, as well as his own assessment.

"Soul locked..."

After considering Zhang Xinglin's description for a while, Chen Huo nodded.

"Your judgment is correct. It is indeed a case of spiritual blockage. The medicine Wu Yue took must have been tampered with. Under normal circumstances, this symptom would not occur."

Chen Huo spoke with great certainty.

That's indeed the case.

With the phone on speakerphone, Wu Chengze could hear everything clearly.

The direct descendants of the Wu family are investigating the matter, and there are no results yet, but all indications suggest that it is very likely that it was done by a collateral branch of the Wu family.

The trigger for this incident was likely the suppression of the Wu family's collateral branches during his previous purge of internal traitors; however, the specifics will depend on the results of the subsequent investigation.

The most important thing now is to treat the illness; Wu Chengze has no time to worry about who did the dirty work.

"Dr. Chen, can you cure me?" Wu Chengze asked nervously.

"Of course it can be cured," Chen Huo said casually.

Wu Chengze was overjoyed upon hearing this: "That's wonderful! Doctor Chen, tell me your conditions, and I will do everything in my power to fulfill them! I'll even go and apologize to you in person!"

"An apology is unnecessary," Chen Huo said calmly. "I only want the Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower. If you help me get it, saving your son will be a piece of cake."

Upon hearing this, Wu Chengze's face fell.

"Dr. Chen, let's change the terms. If I could get my hands on the Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower, Yu Shu wouldn't have died back then." As he said this, Wu Chengze subconsciously clutched his chest. His daughter's death was a pain he could never erase from his heart.

"Then I'm sorry, but apart from this, I really can't think of anything else from your Wu family that would interest me," Chen Huo said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Wu Chengze became anxious.

"Money! I can give you all the money the Wu family has accumulated over the years—a sum you'll never imagine! Plus priceless antiques, calligraphy, paintings, jade, and more!"

"I have no interest in these things," Chen Huo said, shaking his head.

Just as Wu Chengze was at a loss for what to do, Chen Huo suddenly said:

"By the way, I can provide you with clues about the Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower. You know the Yamamoto family of the Japanese pirates, right? They have the Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower. If you help me get it, I'll use it to cure your son's illness."

He talked to Wu Chengze in such roundabout ways, but his ultimate goal was to use the Wu family to get the Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower from the Yamamoto family. Although the possibility was very small, there was still some hope.

As for Wu Yue's illness, he will definitely cure it once he gets the goods.

However, he's just a defeated opponent; it's not too late to settle scores after he's healed.

Upon hearing this, Wu Chengze's expression changed slightly.

Yamamoto family.

If this family were in China, he would be somewhat confident that he could acquire them.

But that family's stronghold was in Japan.

The Wu family had virtually no influence among the Japanese pirates.

Furthermore, it's no secret that Yamamoto Juichiro went to Jinzhou to make contact with Chen Huo, and then died mysteriously, and that Yamamoto Kyono took over the Jinzhou affairs and negotiated with Chen Huo.

The Wu family already knew.

The two sides broke down in negotiations because of the Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower.

The Yamamoto family is using the Crimson Flame Sunflower as a bargaining chip; why would they give it to him?

"Dr. Chen, you're asking too much of me. I really can't get my hands on anything from the Yamamoto family. Let's find another way," Wu Chengze said, his voice tinged with pleading.

"If you can't get it, then forget it," Chen Huo said coldly.

He hung up the phone after saying that.

Wu Chengze's blood pressure spiked instantly, and his face turned bright red with anger.

"That brat has gone too far!"

As he spoke, he slammed his phone to the ground again.

boom!

My newly replaced phone is now in pieces again.

Seeing Wu Chengze's furious yet helpless expression, Zhang Xinglin felt a surge of satisfaction. But that wasn't enough. To bring down the Wu family, he had to intensify the internal strife within the family.

"Master!"

Zhang Xinglin solemnly reminded him, "Getting the Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower from the Yamamoto family is too difficult. It takes time, and I'm afraid the young master won't be able to wait that long. We'll have to find a way ourselves!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Chengze hurriedly asked, "Do you have a solution?"

"It's not exactly a great solution, but it gives me a glimmer of hope."

"Stop talking nonsense and speak!"

Wu Chengze said impatiently.

Seeing this, Zhang Xinglin quickly said, "Investigate! Find out who tampered with the young master's medicine. If we know what medicine was added, we might be able to come up with a solution."

Upon hearing this, Wu Chengze looked at Wu Yi'an.

Wu Yi'an nodded as well.

"There is indeed an opportunity; why not do both things at the same time?"

"good!"

Wu Chengze gave a low shout, summoning Wu Qingfeng and Wu Chengjiang, the two elders who were loyal to him. His expression was slightly ferocious as he said:

"You two will personally be in charge of investigating Yue'er's poisoning. I authorize you to use any means necessary, even dead bodies! I just want results as soon as possible!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Chengjiang was startled: "Absolutely not! Doing this will alienate the collateral branches of the family and seriously jeopardize the future of the Wu family!"

Wu Qingfeng also advised, "Yes, it's better to use gentler methods!"

"shit!"

Wu Chengze coldly retorted, "My son is the future of the Wu family. Without him, the Wu family has no future!"

The two wanted to say something more, but Wu Chengze waved them off.

"It's settled then. Do as I say!"

Seeing this, Zhang Xinglin secretly sneered. Wu Chengze had really lost his mind. If he continued like this, the Wu family would soon be riddled with problems and would decline on its own without the help of other powerful families.

He wasn't worried about getting himself implicated.

Everything is arranged.

Now it's up to Wu Chengze to figure out how to get the Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower from the Yamamoto family. If he takes it by force, that would be great. If some of the Wu family's experts die, they'll be wiped out even faster.

Wu Yi'an frowned slightly, feeling that something was not right. He knew how much Zhang Xinglin hated Wu Chengze, so why was she so proactive in this matter?

Normally, they would be more than happy for Wu and Yue to die.

We need to get to the bottom of this.
