Chapter 992: Chapter 0992: Making Good Connections 1

This was a new guard, one Feng Qingxue had not seen, at least not among those she had encountered in the old chief’s home. She only heard Guo Ming asking, "Xiaoliu, you’ve come to see me—is there something wrong with the old chief?"

Xiaoliu scanned the people in the room and saluted respectfully, "The old chief has been coughing rather severely, so Secretary Zhou sent me to find you."

"I will go right now, right now," Guo Ming said hurriedly as he reached for his medical kit. "I’ve told the old chief many times to quit smoking, quit smoking; smoking damages the lungs, but he just can’t part with those few cigarettes. He really doesn’t take good care of himself."

Xiaoliu smiled but said nothing, clearly reluctant to pass judgment on the old chief’s actions or on what Guo Ming had said.

Such careful consideration was admirable.

Before leaving, Guo Ming instructed his wife, Mrs. Guo, "You know where the things I promised to give to Xiaoxue are. When you have a chance, hand them to her so she can study them thoroughly at home. There’s no need for formal goodbyes when she leaves the Capital—we don’t care for such empty formalities."

"Understood. Now hurry, don’t delay the old chief’s matters!"

After Guo Ming and Xiaoliu left, Mrs. Guo indeed fetched a wicker-bound book chest and moved it to the hall. "Xiaoxue, inside are all the medical notes your master could preserve, including those from his student days as well as from his practicing years. He has recorded all sorts of challenging cases and his experimentation and treatment methods. Take it and I hope you won’t squander your master’s hard work."

Feng Qingxue took it with great reverence as if receiving a great treasure, "Don’t worry, Master’s Wife, I definitely won’t let Master down."

"Alright, sit down. I’ll tell you about your several senior brothers—the good and the bad—to avoid awkwardness in case you meet them later not knowing they are your fellow disciples," Mrs. Guo said with a hint of jest.

Feng Qingxue listened respectfully and attentively.

Wang Xinsheng had his own job, and upon learning of the old chief’s discomfort, he naturally wanted to visit and meet with other comrades who were visiting the old chief as well. So, after giving Mrs. Guo a heads up, he left, taking Lu Jiang with him.

When better to network with the old leaders if not now?

For Wang Xinsheng, Lu Jiang was no different from his own son, and a father naturally wishes to promote his son.

Mrs. Guo didn’t mind, and said to Feng Qingxue, "Throughout your master’s life, he has trained many doctors, both in traditional Chinese and Western medicine. However, only three can truly be called his disciples, and that’s excluding you."

"May I know the esteemed names of these three senior brothers?" Feng Qingxue asked, recalling the records about Guo Ming where his students were all prominent figures, let alone his disciples.

In the history of modern medicine, the names of Guo Ming and his disciples were well-known.

Mrs. Guo said softly, "The eldest is named Zang Yuying, now in Shanghai. We don’t know his specific circumstances; it’s been a long time since we’ve heard from him, and messages we sent vanished like stones thrown into the sea. The second is named Lian Fengguo, working in the Capital’s hospital, currently doing very well. Primarily, it’s his Western surgical skills that are known, while his Chinese medicine remains relatively unrecognized. The third..."

When it came to the third, Mrs. Guo paused briefly, then stopped.

"What about the third senior brother?" Feng Qingxue asked, remembering that according to the records about Guo Ming, the third senior brother should be Leng Tianxing, a top-notch traditional Chinese medicine practitioner in Jinling, a master among masters. Before she crossed over, this senior brother was still diagnosing patients at over ninety years of age, with his medical appointments fetching thousands of yuan.

Mrs. Guo’s words confirmed what she had found, "Your third senior brother, Leng Tianxing, is in Jinling City. Because he is most proficient in Chinese medicine, he is the one your master and I worry about the most."
