A lucky cat fell from the sky.

Chapter 33 The Hao Family's Predicament

The Hao family's villa is also located in Qifeng Mountain, Longqiu City.

The houses on Qifeng Mountain are unaffordable for people with money but no power.

Each villa costs at least tens of millions.

Of course, the Hao family's villa is no match for the Gu family's. Although the Gu family is one of the four major families in Longqiu, their wealth far exceeds that of the other three families. Next are the Bai family, the Zhong family, and finally the Hao family.

Although the Hao family has considerable assets, they are only influential in Longqiu. If you were to compare them to those in Xiyang, they probably wouldn't even rank highly.

At this moment, Hao Tianqi, the head of the Hao family, was looking worried. His three sons stood in front of him with their hands hanging down, none of them daring to speak.

Not long ago, the Hao family admitted a patient with a strange illness. They sought medical help everywhere but no one could cure him. Then they heard that Hao Zhihong, the third son of the Hao family, was a skilled doctor, so they sent him to the Hao family overnight.

They said they were willing to pay 100 million yuan as a consultation fee if they could cure the patient's illness.

Originally, according to the eldest brother Hao Henduo's idea, if they weren't confident about treating this patient, they shouldn't admit him if possible.

However, Hao Henxin, relying on his superior medical skills and coveting the 100 million yuan consultation fee, had his son pull strings to finally get the patient accepted.

After accepting it and inspecting it, Hao Yanxin was also a little dumbfounded.

He couldn't cure it either.

Since the Hao family couldn't cure the patient, they wanted to send him away.

But inviting a god is easy, sending him away is difficult.

When the Hao family admitted this patient, they only had a basic understanding of the patient's family background, knowing only that the patient's family was wealthy.

But when they were about to send the patient away, they discovered that the patient's family was not just rich.

The patient came from the Du family in Xiyang. Although Longqiu City is developed, it is only a city under Xiyang in terms of administrative level.

The Du family is one of the two major families in Xiyang. The head of the family, Du Fuhu, holds an important position in Xiyang and has many retainers. It can be said that if the Du family stomps their feet, the entire Xiyang will shake.

The patient, Du Yuno, is Du Fuhu's most beloved granddaughter.

Sending the patient away now would offend the Du family. If they offended the Du family, Du Fuhu could simply lift a finger and the Hao family would cease to exist.

So now Du Yuno is a hot potato, and the Hao family is in a real dilemma.

These days, the Hao family has been discussing countermeasures every day, but no matter how they discuss it, they can't come up with a solution. Du Yuno is getting weaker and weaker every day, and it is estimated that she will die in the Hao family if things continue like this.

Just as everyone was frowning in worry, the phone rang for the eldest brother, Hao Henduo.

He went out to answer the phone, and when he came back a while later, he shouted excitedly, "Our Hao family is saved!"

Hao Tianqi looked up at Hao Henduo. His eldest son was usually timid and weak-willed, and never dared to speak loudly in front of him. This time, however, his voice was much louder.

It seems they've really found a solution this time. Hao Tianqi asked, "Did Lu Dongxuan agree?"

Hao Henduo recounted how Hao Xiachan had found Wu Cheng.

He had barely finished speaking when Hao Henxin said, "Brother, what time is it? Why are you still making jokes like this?"

"How did I joke? What do you mean by that, Third Brother?"

“Brother, if there really were such a miraculous doctor in this world, how could your good-for-nothing daughter have run into him?” Hao said with resentment.

Hao Zhiguang became a little anxious upon hearing this: "Third brother, explain yourself clearly. Our Xia Chan is one of the Four Beauties of Longqiu, how can she be considered useless?"

"A good-for-nothing who can't even master the Hao family's martial arts and medical techniques, abandoning the Hao family's medical path to go to a traditional Chinese medicine college to study medicine, what else can you call such a person but a good-for-nothing?"

Hao Henduo became even angrier: "Fine, you call her a good-for-nothing, but a good-for-nothing wants to save our Hao family. You are a genius, but it is you, the genius, who brought about the great disaster for our Hao family. You should have your son go and ask around to get the patient admitted to the Hao family."

These words infuriated Hao.

Seeing his two sons arguing incessantly, Hao Tianqi's face was extremely gloomy, and his lips were trembling.

At this moment, the second brother, Hao Henren, spoke up: "Alright, eldest brother, third brother, you two should say less. The third brother is just trying to help the Hao family, isn't he? As for this so-called miracle doctor, why don't we call him over and examine him?"

"If this miracle doctor is truly skilled, wouldn't our family's disaster automatically be resolved? If he's not, we can just shift the blame onto him."

“That’s a good idea,” Hao Tianqi said. “Second brother always has the best ideas.”

"However, I'm a little worried that if something really goes wrong, the Du family won't just let it go so easily, so we might have to send someone out to take responsibility."

Hao Zhiming looked at Hao Henduo.

Hao Henduo was also a smart man. The three brothers in the Hao family of this generation seemed to be harmonious, but in reality, they were fighting openly and secretly for the position of head of the Hao family.

Originally, Hao Henduo was the rightful heir.

However, Hao Henduo gave birth to a useless son, Hao Xiachan.

Hao Xiachan was exceptionally intelligent when she was young and became Hao Tianqi's most beloved granddaughter. However, when she started practicing the Hao family's martial arts "Martial Medicine Technique" at the age of six, it was discovered that Hao Xiachan had health problems.

She has no way to cultivate the martial arts medical technique.

Without the ability to cultivate martial arts and medical techniques, there is no hope of inheriting the Hao family's medical knowledge.

Therefore, Hao Xiachan was regarded as a useless person.

Incidentally, Hao Henduo's lineage also lost any hope of inheritance.

At this time, the third brother, Hao Henxin, showed his genius side. His achievements in medicine surpassed those of his two older brothers, making him the most likely next head of the Hao family.

Originally, admitting Du Yuno was the best way for Hao Henxin to rise to power, but unexpectedly, things went wrong.

Now that the second son, Hao Henren, has made such a proposal, Hao Henduo immediately understands that the second son is trying to expel his branch of the Hao family and completely cut off his chances of inheriting the position of head of the Hao family.

Hao Henduo couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. The Hao family had already fallen to this state, yet his two younger brothers were still thinking about vying for power.

This really shows a lack of appreciation for the taste of rotten rats.

On the surface, the Hao family is a prestigious family of doctors and martial artists, owning a villa on Qifeng Mountain and possessing abundant wealth. However, in reality, they have long been facing internal and external troubles. These troubles were not apparent before, but now that problems have arisen, the internal troubles have suddenly become apparent.

Hao Henduo was only heartbroken for his daughter. Even though she had already escaped the Hao family, she was still seeking help from all sides because of the Hao family's predicament. However, the Hao family would not appreciate this favor because the second and third sons were both thinking about becoming the heir of the Hao family. They schemed and plotted, but they did not know that if the Hao family could not survive this crisis, even if they became the heirs, it would be meaningless.
