A song from Chengdu revived a closed-down pub.

At that moment, He Xiaoxiao was at her maternal grandfather Qu Feiming's house. She was peeling garlic for the old man when the phone rang.

Having just overheard what Su Fan had encountered, she said, "I'll have Xiao Meng ask her if she has any resources over there."

So He Xiaoxiao called Xu Meng.

Xu Meng was in the living room of the Xu family's old house, where, as was customary, she was accompanying her grandfather, Xu Shuhan, to receive guests.

Just then, Ye Yao and Ye Yun came to offer their New Year's greetings.

After finishing the call, Xu Meng's expression changed slightly. She walked over to Xu Shuhan and explained what had happened.

Xu Shuhan frowned, put down his teacup, and was about to get up to make a phone call when Ye Yun spoke first.

"Grandpa Xu, the cardiology department at the military hospital is the most authoritative in the country. Let them go there."

Xu Shuhan glanced at her and nodded: "Okay, Xiaoyun, you make the arrangements."

Ye Yun didn't say much. He got up, walked to the side, took out his phone, and made a call.

Su Fan had just finished a phone call with Qu Feiming and was waiting for a reply when his phone rang.

Ye Yao is displayed on the screen.

He paused for a moment, then answered the call.

Ye Yao skipped the pleasantries and said directly, "The hospital arrangements are all set. Once you've booked your flight, send me the flight number."

Although Su Fan didn't know why Ye Yao was the one who called back when he called Qu Feiming.

But now is not the time to dwell on this.

He thanked them, hung up the phone, and began making arrangements: "Brother Cheng, Sister Shan, the three of us will go to Kyoto. The rest of you go back to the hospital and take good care of Aunt Liu."

So Su Fan started booking a flight to Kyoto.

Xiang Hong and Zhao Jie drove Su Fan's car back to the orphanage.

The plane landed in Kyoto, and an ambulance came right away.

Ye Yao and Xu Meng also arrived.

Without exchanging pleasantries or unnecessary formalities, the medical staff pushed over a stretcher, and Su Fan gently placed Xuanxuan on it. The group then boarded the ambulance and headed straight for the hospital.

Hospitalization, examinations, and treatment plans are all proceeding at top speed.

Su Fan took a moment to call Aunt Liu: "Aunt Liu, don't worry, Xuanxuan is fine. We're at the best hospital in Kyoto... Okay, I promise to bring Xuanxuan back safely... Don't worry, I'll let you know if there's any news."

After hanging up, he called Xiang Hong again, asking her to make sure to comfort Aunt Liu and not let her overthink things.

After everything was arranged, Su Fan turned around and solemnly thanked Xu Meng and Ye Yao, who had been waiting in the corridor.

Xu Meng waved her hand and said, "Xiaoxiao called me. It just so happens that Sister Yao and Sister Yun were visiting my grandfather for the New Year. By the way, Sister Yun arranged the hospital visit."

Su Fan still didn't know who Sister Yun was, as Xu Meng had mentioned. Ye Yao added from the side, "Ye Yun is my uncle's daughter, Ye Xuan's older sister."

Su Fan paused for a moment, then nodded without saying anything more, only adding "thank you" again.

He remembered this favor.

Just then, a middle-aged doctor in a white coat walked over, his mask still on, and scanned the corridor with his eyes: "Who is the child's guardian?"

Su Fan stepped forward: "She's an orphan, and we're her older brothers and sisters. If she needs any signatures, we're all willing to sign."

The doctor removed his mask, glanced at Su Fan, then paused, his voice tinged with uncertainty: "You are... Su Fan?"

Su Fan, puzzled, nodded: "Yes, that's me."

The doctor stepped aside and gestured for them to come in, his tone much more respectful than before: "Please come with me."

The people in the corridor didn't pay much attention, thinking it was just a signing process.

Only Ye Yao frowned slightly.

She noticed a detail: the doctor was more than ten years older than Su Fan, but he addressed her with the respectful form of address.

She had witnessed the excitement of fans meeting their idols, but that excitement was usually passionate and outward.

Rather than this kind of respectful greeting, almost like a junior meeting an elder.

She muttered to herself, "Are fans all this polite these days?"

Ye Yao mistook the doctor from earlier for a fan of Su Fan.

Su Fan followed the doctor into the office, and the door closed behind him.

He was about to ask about Xuanxuan's condition when he saw the middle-aged doctor turn around and respectfully bow: "Jingchen, greetings to Junior Uncle."

Su Fan was completely dumbfounded.

He stood there, stunned, his mind racing, before he could barely make sense of it all.

He tentatively asked, "Who is your master...?"

At this moment, the doctor named Jing Chen said, "My mentor, Xu Xingzhi, I went to Longhu Mountain before the New Year, and he told me about you."

Su Fan finally understood, and couldn't help but think to himself, "Just how many disciples have my senior brothers taken on? First there was Qu Feiming, and now Jing Chen has appeared. I wonder if they have any connections in the capital's officialdom. If they do, does that mean I can just walk around the capital like a madman?"

Su Fan looked at his junior apprentice and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Since it's our first meeting and she's an elder, I should at least show some appreciation.

Su Fan said, "Since it's our first meeting, I don't have much to give you. I'll have your master give you something later."

These words left Jing Chen speechless.

Su Fan stopped joking and said seriously, "Let's get down to business. How's the child?"

Jing Chen turned around, picked up a stack of test reports from the table, opened them, pointed to the data and images on them, and his tone returned to professionalism and composure: "Congenital heart disease, ventricular septal defect, the location is quite special, close to the aortic valve, the left ventricle has already shown slight enlargement, and the pulmonary artery pressure is also rising. Fortunately, it was not discovered too late, and no irreversible damage has occurred."

Su Fan listened attentively without interrupting.

Jing Chen turned to the next page and continued, "There are two treatment options. One is conservative treatment, which involves using medication to control the symptoms and having regular check-ups, but the child will always have this hidden danger, affecting their quality of life. The other is surgery, which repairs the defect and solves the problem once and for all."

Su Fan asked, "Is the surgery high-risk?"

Jing Chen said, "We perform hundreds of these surgeries every year here; it's not a big deal."

Su Fan let out a long breath: "Alright, let's proceed with the surgery."

……

As Su Fan emerged from the office, several people in the corridor turned to look at him simultaneously.

The first question posed by the equation was: "How is it?"

Su Fan said, "It's alright, it can be treated. The doctor said it's not a big deal."

He didn't mention Jing Chen's identity or the unexpected relationship; he only told the most important result.

After listening, Fang Cheng and Yuan Shanshan finally relaxed.

When asked about this, Yuan Shanshan said, "You're not lying to us, are you? Otherwise, why would the doctor not tell us in front of us, but instead have to talk to you alone?"

Su Fan remained expressionless and casually replied, "He's a fan who wants to talk to me privately."

As Su Fan said this, he was also thinking to himself, "I'm his senior apprentice, so it's not unreasonable for him to call me a fan."

Yuan Shanshan looked at him suspiciously and muttered, "Are you really that charming?"

Su Fan didn't respond to that, and suddenly changed the subject: "By the way, Sister Shan, you're a nurse, so your husband works at the hospital too, right? How's it going there?"

Yuan Shanshan said, "Our hospital is small, we're exhausted every day, but the pay is okay. Why are you asking?"

Su Fan thought for a moment and said, "I was thinking, if this place expands its recruitment, wouldn't it be much better for you and your brother-in-law to work here than before?"

Yuan Shanshan rolled her eyes at him, annoyed: "Do you think the hospital is yours to own? Or do you think one of your fans would vouch for you? Don't dream about it."

Su Fan smiled and said, "You still have to have dreams, what if they come true?"

Yuan Shanshan didn't argue with him anymore and casually said, "He'll come over after work in a bit."

Su Fan said, "Then let's have dinner together tonight. I'll make the arrangements."

Yuan Shanshan didn't hold back: "Then I'll have to eat your bread."
