Chapter 188: 157 Lu Han asks for help (3 updates)_1

Lu Han suddenly stopped seeing patients, which led to a lot of dissatisfaction among patients and their families.

It was already difficult to secure an appointment with Lu Han; some patients even traveled long distances from neighboring provinces and cities. While waiting for an appointment, they had to stay in hotels, which was already a financial burden.

Finally getting an appointment after much trouble, they were either referred to another doctor or told to come back tomorrow. Who would reimburse the extra day’s expenses?

Yet, even so, Lu Han could no longer afford to care about that.

After saying goodbye to his colleagues next door, he asked Bai Dingkai for the car keys and just left.

Bai Dingkai felt guilty inside. It was on his watch that Tang Su disappeared, so naturally, he had to join Lu Han in searching for Tang Su.

On this side, patients were making a loud fuss, causing a commotion so big that even the pediatric and dental departments were disturbed.

Learning that it was Lu Han who caused the disturbance, Jiang Shanshan finished up with her young patient and then hit the pause button, since she didn’t have that many patients every day anyway.

Taking it easy wouldn’t have too much impact.

She ran over and saw that nurses from the ENT department had all come over to help maintain order and placate the patients’ emotions, and Bai Dingxian was also there.

After all, Bai Dingxian was an emergency department staff and had a knack for handling such urgent situations.

"If it’s a minor illness or a rather urgent case, our hospital’s doctors are quite capable. If you insist on being seen by Doctor Lu, and if you came for a follow-up, you can come back tomorrow, and I will help everyone get a stamp," he said.

"Come back tomorrow? Easy for you to say. Who will reimburse the hundreds of dollars in expenses for one day?"

"I will cover it. The nearby hotel calculates by bed, with the cheapest being twenty dollars per bed, and there are rooms around one hundred dollars too. I’ll calculate it at a mid-range rate for you, one hundred fifty dollars for a room. I’ll pay for it, okay?"

The noise from the commotion subsided quite a bit, as the concerns they raised were addressed. It seemed there was no more reason to stay and cause trouble.

Besides, many patients had nothing but praise for Lu Han. Thinking of the expression on Lu Han’s face when he left, everyone guessed that Doctor Lu must have encountered some emergency situation.

Everyone is human, and everyone has emergencies, like family accidents and such. Anyway, it was understandable and there was no need to make such a big deal out of it.

Moreover, Doctor Bai’s attitude in solving the problems was very sincere.

Once the complaining patients and family members left, the nurses also breathed a sigh of relief. Doctor Bai, not being as serious and stern as Doctor Lu, had his image transformed quite a bit in this moment.

Especially when patients questioned who would compensate for their losses, Bai Dingxian took responsibility without hesitation, not causing any trouble for the hospital. Such magnanimity truly commanded respect.

His image suddenly grew more impressive.

Jiang Shanshan was not interested in how Bai Dingxian resolved the medical disputes. She was more concerned about what had actually happened to Lu Han, and why he had suddenly stopped seeing patients.

Lu Han had always put his patients first, often turning down social gatherings and important receptions for the sake of his patients.

Jiang Shanshan was anxious on his behalf. He was a good doctor, conscientious and responsible towards his patients, but he was not as responsible when it came to himself and people around him.

After all, attending some necessary social functions could help in his promotion, which was crucial for his career.

She also knew that Lu Han didn’t care about such promotions. However, when faced with a difficult and complex disease he could not solve, he would spend all his free time looking through medical books, researching information, and trying every method to see if there was any historical precedent.

If there wasn’t, he would try to figure it out on his own.

Even if some diseases could not be completely cured, providing temporary relief from pain was still beneficial.

Lu Han’s professional ideals were indeed lofty, it’s just that lofty ideals couldn’t be eaten as food.

Jiang Shanshan asked several nurses, but they didn’t know why Lu Han had suddenly interrupted his work. They only knew that Lu Han’s complexion didn’t look good when he left.

Jiang Shanshan was full of doubts.

Don’t tell her that Lu Han’s unusual behavior was because of Tang Su?

If that was the case, Tang Su was being too...

No, it couldn’t be because of her. What qualifications did Tang Su have?

Jiang Shanshan absolutely didn’t want to admit that Tang Su’s impact on Lu Han had grown to this extent.

**

Hua City, Longmen Mansion.

Driving out of the hospital, Lu Han remained silent during the journey, with Bai Dingkai sitting in the passenger seat. Without exchanging a single word, he drove to Longmen Mansion in the eastern district of Hua City.

Bai Dingkai felt guilty, and since Lu Han was not speaking, even as his elder brother, Bai Dingkai did not dare speak rashly.

He feared touching Lu Han’s raw nerve and setting him off.

Regardless of whom Lu Han was looking for, Bai Dingkai did not feel it was right to suggest reporting to the police first.

When the car stopped, Bai Dingkai looked at the mansion before him, which was decorated in a low-key yet luxurious style. He knew that whoever lived here must be a capable person.

But how did Lu Han even know such a person?

Could the residents help find Tang Su quickly?

The moment the car stopped, more than a dozen men in black suits surrounded them.

Bai Dingkai: "..."

The situation looked troublesome.

Lu Han slowly rolled down the window and, like a magician pulling something out of thin air, produced a pocket watch. The leader saw this and bowed to Lu Han, "Doctor Lu, please."

The gate opened, and Lu Han drove straight in.

Behind the gate was a fountain that was still spraying water. All the decorations seemed to be arranged by a feng shui master, for Bai Dingkai had once filmed a movie about feng shui.

He had learned some basic feng shui knowledge. He couldn’t articulate the specifics, but judging by the arrangement of the decoration, he knew the owner must have consulted a feng shui master.

As soon as he entered, he felt the feng shui was exceptionally good.

Lu Han parked the car to the right of the fountain, unbuckled his seat belt, got out of the car, and a small electric bus was already waiting to take him to the main house inside.

Bai Dingkai worried about Lu Han. Those men in black, all strong and muscular, were either bodyguards or enforcers. Whoever could afford so many enforcers and bodyguards must not be easy to deal with.

And that name of the mansion, Longmen?

It sounded like a dubious organization.

How did Lu Han get to know such people?

Even though they were desperate to find Tang Su, Bai Dingkai felt that calling the police was the best option, rather than dealing with ruthless people.

"You just wait in the car, no need to get out."

"You won’t let me accompany you?" Bai Dingkai was not reassured, thinking that if a fight broke out, he could at least offer some help.

Of course, he knew Lu Han was capable of fighting; one Lu Han could take on ten of those enforcers without any problem. But what if there were hundreds or thousands of them inside?

Lu Han would be at a disadvantage, alone and outnumbered.

He had already lost Tang Su, and if Lu Han came out all beaten up, how would he explain it to his aunt? His cousin was her precious son; if anything happened to him, she would be devastated. And whoever caused her grief would suffer misfortune.

"No need, I’ll be out soon."

Having said that, Lu Han got off the car and boarded the electric bus, heading into the main house.

Bai Dingkai was restless. Fortunately, at that moment, Bai Dingxian’s call came through. The men in black outside paid him no mind as he took the call.

Bai Dingxian asked, "Brother, where did you and Lu Han go? Did you call the police?"

"No, Lu Han drove me to Longmen Mansion, but I’m waiting in the car, he went in alone."

"He actually went to Longmen?" Bai Dingxian was incredibly surprised.

Longmen in Hua City might not be well-known to outsiders, but the locals were very aware of it.

The existence of Longmen had a long history, seemingly present since times of unrest, and tracing back seriously, it was over a hundred years old.

In times of turmoil, fighting and killing were inevitable to survive.

Now, in a society of peace and law, Longmen naturally didn’t need to resort to violence anymore. However, the paths they took were completely different from ordinary people.

They understood the law and used it, but when they encountered issues that the law couldn’t resolve, their true nature was revealed.

Lu Han knew the people of Longmen because the patriarch of Longmen, who was also the current Sect Leader’s grandfather, had once received Lu Han’s help and treatment.

To express his gratitude, the old Sect Leader gave Lu Han a pocket watch, saying that should he encounter issues he couldn’t handle, he should bring the watch to Longmen, and everyone there would assist him.

That important pocket watch had always been kept casually in the car, where he kept his driver’s license and other items.

Lu Han had also said that he might never use this pocket watch in his lifetime and that he would return it to the old Sect Leader when the opportunity arose.

Bai Dingxian had not expected that today, for the sake of Tang Su, Lu Han would actually go to Longmen with the pocket watch.

He was truly afraid that something might have happened to Tang Su.
