Chapter 149: Midnight Visit
Not long thereafter,
Cai Chunlong drove a truck over from the training camp, and together with Ding Tianhu, they loaded the black stones onto the vehicle.
They continuously suppressed the shock in their hearts, not daring to waste more words in front of Shen Feng.
After all the stones were loaded onto the truck, they asked Shen Feng to get on, and the three of them returned to Hell Training Camp.
Ding Tianhu checked the time—it was already 10:35 PM. After taking a deep breath, he looked at Shen Feng with respectful eyes and said, "Master Shen, it's getting late. Why don't you stay here tonight? I'll arrange a room for you."
Cai Chunlong glared at Ding Tianhu and said, "I think the Master should come back with me to the Cai Family to rest. You can't break the rules here; isn't it true that outsiders are not allowed to stay overnight in the training camp? When I wanted to stay here for a few days, you were the one who chased me out."
Ding Tianhu defended himself with conviction, "Old Cai, that's ancient history. I also find the rules set by the higher-ups to be too rigid. After my earnest requests, the rule was abolished starting last month."
Cai Chunlong didn't want to listen to Ding Tianhu's nonsense anymore. Just as he was about to ask Shen Feng, the ringtone of his cellphone suddenly sounded in his pocket.
The call was from Sun Dong Quan.
After finishing the call, Cai Chunlong looked at Shen Feng and said, "Master Shen, Elder Sun said he has something to ask of you. He's on his way here after learning from his second brother that you're here."
With Shen Feng's keen hearing, he naturally heard the content of the conversation, though Sun Dong Quan didn't elaborate on what the matter was.
Regarding the stubborn old man, Sun Dong Quan, Shen Feng no longer held any disgust, and said, "Arrange a room for me first, and call me when he arrives."
Upon hearing this,
Ding Tianhu hurriedly arranged a room for Shen Feng to rest in.
Upon entering the room, Shen Feng didn't immediately start crafting talismans. After spending a substantial amount of Spiritual Energy at Mass Grave, he needed to take some time to recuperate.
A little over two hours later,
a gentle knock on the door was heard. Shen Feng, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes and said, "Come in."
Ding Tianhu and Cai Chunlong walked in, followed by the master and disciple duo, Sun Dong Quan and Zhao Yi.
Upon seeing Shen Feng, Sun Dong Quan immediately called out, "Mr. Shen."
Zhao Yi greeted, "Senior Shen."
Shen Feng nodded slightly, "What do you need from me?"
Sun Dong Quan didn't want to waste time and briefly explained the whole matter.
It turned out he wanted to ask Shen Feng to help treat Wan Guoming, the top leader of South Cloud.
Sun Dong Quan was a member of the South Cloud Health Bureau expert group, often in charge of leaders' health.
Previously, an investment of several billion had been made in South Cloud for tourism development, and today was the official launch day.
As the foremost leader of South Cloud, Wan Guoming naturally needed to attend the launch ceremony.
The ceremony was held at the foothills of the mountains where the tourism development was taking place. After returning from the ceremony, Wan Guoming felt a sudden severe pain in his legs.
At first, he didn't take it seriously, as there were no visible changes on his legs; however, as time passed, the pain in his legs grew worse until they began to slowly turn black.
It was then that Wan Guoming started to fear for his condition and immediately asked to be taken to the hospital but unfortunately, despite the doctors trying everything, they were at a loss.
His legs were getting blacker and more painful, and there was even a trend towards rotting.
After sleeping a night at the old house, Sun Dong Quan received a call from Wan Guoming's wife. He rushed to the hospital immediately, but he was also at a loss with Wan Guoming's illness.
Before Wan Guoming had become the top leader, he had helped Sun Dong Quan promote the development of traditional Chinese medicine a few times in South Cloud.
Sun Dong Quan had always been grateful to Wan Guoming, but in the past two years, as Wan Guoming's power grew, his way of doing things changed a lot.
However, Sun Dong Quan always wanted to repay the favor from back then.
The Wan Family had an overwhelming influence in South Cloud, being the genuine first family, with Wan Guoming being a strong candidate for the next Family Head.
Now, the doctors were advocating for immediate amputation because his condition was deteriorating too quickly.
But if his legs were amputated, then his political career would be completely over, not to mention becoming the Wan Family Head.
After briefly explaining the situation, Sun Dong Quan bowed deeply to Shen Feng and said, "Mr. Shen, this time I would like to ask for your help in treating Secretary Wan, no matter what the conditions are, this old man will agree to them."
To tell the truth.
Shen Feng had no interest at all, whether it was Secretary Wan or any other secretary!
Cai Chunlong frowned tightly and said, "Elder Sun, if Wan Guoming wants Master Shen to take action, shouldn't he come in person? What makes him think he can have Master Shen make a trip? Wan Guoming hasn't earned that right yet."
What a joke.
Although the Wan Family might be the first family in South Cloud, and Wan Guoming the top leader and strong candidate to become the next Family Head, even the entirety of South Cloud's great families weren't much in front of Master Shen.
Ding Tianhu, not knowing Sun Dong Quan, said unceremoniously, "Old man, it was already giving you face allowing you into Hell Training Camp. Don't make some impolite requests here, or don't blame me for throwing you out."
"Wan Guoming has a problem with his legs, can't he be pushed here in a wheelchair? He shows no sincerity at all; does he really think Master Shen is just an ordinary doctor?"
Shen Feng remained silent, looking at Sun Dong Quan who didn't know what to do.
Bearing in mind that the old man had knelt for so long outside the Cai Family's old house, he said, "Prepare ten billion, and I can save his legs. If he wants treatment, let him come himself."
Ten billion was definitely within reach for South Cloud's first family.
Shen Feng had only reluctantly agreed to help seeing the old man's stubbornness. Whether the other party was willing to come here or willing to pay the ten billion in medical fees was entirely outside of his consideration.
Ten billion?
Sun Dong Quan's face slightly changed. For him, that was a huge sum of money. Although he was a famous doctor in South Cloud, his wealth accumulated over the years was only in the millions, and he spent most of the money he earned to help patients in need.
Then again.
Sun Dong Quan thought it through. In the past two years, Wan Guoming had not hesitated to use his power to make money. Although Sun Dong Quan wanted to repay a favor, getting Wan Guoming to cough up some money was also a good thing.
Ding Tianhu, growing impatient, said, "Old man, didn't you hear what Master Shen said? Is ten billion a lot? Isn't Master Shen's medical skill worth ten billion?"

"He's free to seek treatment elsewhere, what's ten billion to Master Shen? I think Master Shen is willing to help out of consideration for you, old man."
Ding Tianhu said mockingly. With Master Shen's abilities, making money was simply too easy!
With such mysterious and unpredictable powers, ten billion probably meant as much as one dollar to Master Shen!
Sun Dong Quan hastily said, "Mr. Shen, please don't misunderstand, I have no dissatisfaction with you. I will call the Wan Family right away. If they are unwilling to come or unwilling to pay the ten billion treatment fee, I won't bother you again, Mr. Shen. Let the Wan Family find their own famous doctor!"
