Chapter 136: Chapter 136: The Lu Family of Yanjing

"Director Ren, don’t leave just yet!"

Fang Bai spotted Ren Ping, the former director of the emergency department, among the dispersing crowd and called out loudly.

"I... I still have things to do..."

The incident today was orchestrated by Ren Ping. Seeing a reversal and failing to smear Fang Bai, he was greatly disappointed. Feeling guilty, he was ready to leg it.

"Heh, it wouldn’t hurt to clear things up before leaving!"

Fang Bai stepped forward, grabbed Ren Ping’s arm, and forcibly dragged him into the acupuncture and tuina room.

Fang Bai had plenty of ways to make Ren Ping confess to setting him up.

He touched Ren Ping’s bald head and secretly used the "Soul Searching Technique." Under Fang Bai’s verbal guidance, Ren Ping, in a dazed state, spilled the beans about the whole affair.

While "interrogating" Ren Ping, Fang Bai signaled Wu Tian to record the session with his cellphone, keeping it as evidence.

After Ren Ping finished talking, there was an uproar in the acupuncture and tuina room. Whether doctors or interns, everyone was filled with righteous indignation and condemned Ren Ping’s despicable and shameless actions.

Department head Liu Zhenguo and elder doctor Xu Yida immediately took the video Wu Tian recorded to Dean Zhang’s office and jointly reported Ren Ping.

On the same day, Ren Ping was announced to be dismissed from Yanjing Hospital and left in utter disarray.

The incident didn’t cause much commotion in Yanjing Hospital and soon subsided.

The halo around Fang Bai remained as dazzling as ever. Not only did the doctors and interns of the acupuncture and tuina department look up to him with admiration, but doctors from other departments also came to seek his advice whenever they could.

To those seeking advice, Fang Bai invariably refused with the excuse "I am very busy," and wasn’t afraid to offend anyone.

Besides, Fang Bai had no relatives or friends among those doctors. Why should he teach them?

When he first arrived, hardly anyone in the hospital paid him any attention. Now that they knew about his miraculous skills in saving Lu Xingping’s young son and becoming a guest of honor to Lu Xingping, they all flocked to him. What was that about?

It was a classic case of opportunism!

In both his previous and current life, Fang Bai had always despised such people and kept his distance from them.

In fact, Fang Bai was indeed very busy.

He had always had a full schedule, and now, with the treatment of Lu Jianfeng added, he was even more pressed for time.

He had even turned down Su Linglong’s invitation to dine several times.

During that time, he had also called his landlord Qiu Zhan to inform him he would be staying at the hospital and couldn’t return home, and casually asked about Qiu Zhan’s wife’s health condition.

Qiu Zhan did not say that his wife’s condition was good or bad, only that it was more or less the same. Fang Bai knew that Qiu Yuzhi wasn’t in immediate danger.

Although he had no chance to exercise in the morning recently, Fang Bai discovered that when he used True Yuan to perform acupuncture on Lu Jianfeng, even though he would be drained of True Yuan and almost faint from exhaustion every time, after a night of recuperation, the True Yuan in his Qi Sea would increase a bit. The effect was almost as good as morning exercise.

Over the next ten days, Fang Bai administered acupuncture to Lu Jianfeng twice and brewed the herbs he personally prescribed for eight days. On the tenth day, Lu Jianfeng was indeed able to get out of bed and walk.

According to Fang Bai, Lu Jianfeng was now ready to be discharged and return home, where he could focus on recuperating for a while, and his injury would heal back to its original state.

On the day of discharge, the excited expressions on the faces of the husband and wife, Lu Xingping and Li Yujie, overflowed with words. Li Yujie held one of Fang Bai’s hands and kept expressing her gratitude.

In these ten days, Fang Bai got along quite well with Li Yujie, who had grown very fond of him. She even hinted at adopting Fang Bai as a godson because he greatly resembled her deceased elder son.

Unfortunately, Fang Bai’s attitude towards this was unclear, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, which made Li Yujie feel somewhat regretful.

On the day Lu Jianfeng was discharged, Tang Wenrou also arrived.

Lu Xingping and his wife invited Fang Bai and Tang Wenrou to visit their home, stating that Old Master Lu wanted to meet Fang Bai.

Old Master Lu, Lu Shengguo, once held an important military position, and had numerous students and old friends. Even though he was now retired, he still possessed considerable influence in Huaxia. His initiative to meet Fang Bai was mostly due to Fang Bai saving his grandson, Lu Jianfeng.

When heading to the Lu’s residence, Lu Xingping and his wife took one car, while Fang Bai and Tang Wenrou took another. Together with the lead and follow bodyguard sedans, there was a total of four cars, all of which were armored vehicles.

The four sedans from the Lu family left Yanjing Hospital and after more than twenty minutes of driving, they entered a mountainous area in the West Suburb of Yanjing.

The terrain of this mountainous area was gentle, with lush vegetation and flowing water, a tranquil environment that was the ideal place for cultivating one’s body and mind.

The sedan slowly climbed up along a mountain road, passing by at least three checkpoints with armed guards every few steps.

The guards at the checkpoints were all fully armed, unyielding soldiers who required even Lu Xingping to hand over his pass for inspection before being allowed to proceed.

Upon reaching the mountaintop, a secluded high-walled compound came into view.

The guards at the compound checked the identities of Lu Xingping and others, conducted a thorough security check on the four cars, and then waved them through.

"Do you feel that the defense here is excessively strict?" Tang Wenrou suddenly asked Fang Bai after the car entered the high-walled compound.

Fang Bai responded with a noncommittal smile.

From the base to the summit of the mountain, there were numerous checkpoints, each guarded by soldiers with live ammunition. Additionally, there were visible and hidden surveillance systems assisting with the guard duties.

To the ordinary person, such defensive measures appeared impregnable, so much so that even a fly would find it difficult to infiltrate.

However to Fang Bai, even under such tight defense, he could still find some weaknesses to exploit to reach the top of the mountain, though it would take some time.

Seeing that Fang Bai remained silent, Tang Wenrou explained, "Although Old Master Lu has retired, his influence in the military hasn’t diminished much. His actions still have a significant impact on Huaxia. Considering Old Master Lu’s personal safety, it’s appropriate for the defenses to be stringent."

She paused before adding, "It’s said that not long ago, Dongfang Leiming, who had retired from the Department of Commerce and Trade, was attacked by a group of gunmen and nearly faced a serious incident. The Prime Minister was infuriated upon finding out and ordered an immediate enhancement of security measures for high-ranking officials."

At the mention of "Dongfang Leiming", Fang Bai’s heart stirred.

No wonder he had sensed an authoritative air about Dongfang Leiming when he saved him last time. It turned out that he was a retired high-ranking official.

Martial artists have their own imposing aura, just like influential leaders do, and both can exert pressure on others.

The imposing aura of a high-status individual is intimidating to the ordinary person but not to a martial artist.

And the aura of a martial artist cannot necessarily suppress those who have held important positions for a long time.

Of course, when a martial artist’s strength reaches a certain realm, even the highest-ranking individuals can feel oppressed.

After all, no matter how high their status, they are still human beings.

But when a martial artist’s strength reaches a certain realm, they can transform into immortals or gods, grasping the creation of heaven and earth, turning decay into magic, changing the wind and clouds with their breath, and destroying the heavens and earth with a snap of their fingers.

Fang Bai, as the Immortal Emperor in his previous life, possessed Supreme Divine Power and was unrivaled in all nine domains of the Immortal Realm.

Now, Fang Bai was still a long way from his peak in his previous life, and this was the goal he was striving for.
