Legendary Person: I brought my skills back to reality!

Chapter 87 Su Shizhong pays respects to Physician Xu!

Xu Hao turned his head and saw the person who called Su Qing's name. It was an elderly woman with gray hair but a vigorous spirit.

Su Qing smiled, quickly stood up, and asked with a hint of surprise and delight, "Dad, what brings you here?"

The old man was Su Qing's father, Su Shizhong. He smiled slightly, his gaze shifting between Su Qing and Xu Hao.

“There’s not much going on at the market today, so I just happened to come and sit for a bit. The receptionist said Xiao Qing was here, so I came to see my precious daughter.” Su Shizhong’s voice was steady and strong, carrying the unique kindness and concern of an elder. His gaze fell on Xu Hao, and suddenly, it seemed as if he had discovered something new and interesting.

Su Shizhong's gaze lingered on Xu Hao for a moment, his brows furrowing slightly. He carefully examined the young man's face, feeling a strange sense of familiarity. Suddenly, a scene flashed through his mind—a video he had seen a few days ago in the surveillance room of the traditional Chinese medicine market.

That day, a mysterious young man came to his Chinese medicine market, took out a prescription, and filled the medicine according to the prescription. The shopkeeper noticed that the prescription was wrong, and afterwards came to him, only to be recognized by him as a prescription for an elixir.

Su Shizhong was convinced that behind this young man stood a divine physician skilled in alchemy who could cure his beloved daughter's illness. Therefore, he searched extensively for the young man's whereabouts.

Now, the mysterious young man stood before him. Su Shizhong was secretly surprised; he had originally thought the man would reappear at the medicinal herb market, but unexpectedly, they met here. His gaze lingered on Xu Hao.

Xu Hao noticed Su Shizhong's gaze and politely stood up. Su Shizhong nodded slightly, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes. He slowly walked to Xu Hao, a kind smile on his face, but a scrutinizing glint in his eyes.

"Young man, I feel like I've seen you somewhere before." Su Shizhong gently stroked his chin, his tone tinged with a hint of probing. "Did you visit our medicinal herb market a few days ago?"

Xu Hao was slightly taken aback, not expecting his whereabouts to be discovered. Just as he was about to speak, Su Shizhong added, "I remember a young man came to get medicine with a special prescription, and that prescription was no ordinary one. In the end, he even left the prescription on our counter."

Su Shizhong's gaze was fixed on Xu Hao's changing expression, awaiting his response. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense. Su Qing also watched this scene curiously, not understanding why her father was so interested in Xu Hao.

Upon hearing Su Shizhong's words, Xu Hao was first taken aback, then a slight smile appeared on his lips as he chuckled. He recalled the scene at the medicinal herb market that day; in his haste, he had indeed left the prescription on the counter.

He looked up at Su Shizhong and saw the old man looking at him meaningfully. This old gentleman was a discerning man!

Unless one has a deep understanding of traditional Chinese medicine, one cannot see the extraordinary nature of that prescription.

Xu Hao took a deep breath and decided to be honest. He nodded slightly, meeting Su Shizhong's gaze frankly: "Mr. Su has a good eye. I did go to your market to get medicine that day. That prescription..." He paused, "...was left behind by me."

Su Shizhong's eyes flashed with surprise upon hearing Xu Hao's answer. He pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "Young man, that prescription is no simple matter. You said you left it behind, so... which physician you know made it?"

Xu Hao nodded frankly: "I wouldn't dare say that, it was something I figured out myself."

Su Shizhong frowned slightly, clearly somewhat disbelieving. He coughed lightly and said, "Young man, let's not beat around the bush. That prescription is for alchemy, not for making pills at a street pharmacy. You're so young, how could you..."

He thought to himself, "This kid is really good at bragging. Could it really be something like 'The Carefree Little Doctor'? Aren't you afraid of getting your knowledge mixed up?"

Seeing her father's somewhat aggressive attitude towards Xu Hao, Su Qing couldn't help but interject, "Dad, don't be like this. Xu Hao, he..."

She paused, glanced at Xu Hao, and then continued, "Xu Hao is now a special advisor to our Zhongtian International, and he's my colleague. He's very capable, and the company values ​​him highly."

Upon hearing this, Su Shizhong's expression froze instantly. His gaze swept back and forth between Xu Hao and Su Qing, his brows furrowed.

“Zhongtian International?” Su Shizhong repeated in a low voice, his voice filled with disbelief.

As a seasoned veteran of the business world, Su Shizhong was well aware of Zhongtian International's peculiar nature. On the surface, it was a multinational corporation, but those in the know understood it was a secret government department hidden beneath a commercial guise. Moreover, his daughter worked there, and the level of secrecy was extremely high; she wasn't told anything about it.

Within the upper echelons of ZZ City, the existence of this mysterious entity may be unknown, but everyone tacitly understands what Zhongtian International represents.

Su Shizhong took a deep breath, trying to calm his shock. "I see," Su Shizhong said slowly, his tone noticeably gentler.

That puts my mind at ease! Coming from that mysterious place, is this kid really a miracle doctor? It seems he probably is!

Su Shizhong hesitated for a moment, a slightly embarrassed blush creeping onto his face. He coughed lightly, moved a little closer to Xu Hao, and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Xu, I have a favor to ask. You might not know... my daughter, Xiao Qing..."

His gaze unconsciously drifted towards Su Qing, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Seeing this, Su Qing's cheeks flushed slightly. She guessed what Su Shizhong wanted to say and quickly stepped forward to grab her father's arm: "Dad, don't do this."

She took a deep breath, looked at Xu Hao, her eyes filled with gratitude and shyness: "Actually... my condition has improved a lot."

She continued, "The Flame Fusion Pill that Xu Hao prescribed for me is really effective. I take one pill every morning and evening, and in less than a week, my symptoms have lessened by more than half."

Upon hearing his daughter's words, Su Shizhong's eyes lit up with surprise. He carefully examined Su Qing's face and noticed that her complexion was indeed much rosier than usual, and her eyes were brighter and more spirited. The sickly look on her face had completely disappeared.

The old man's hands trembled as he reached out and gently grasped Su Qing's wrists. He closed his eyes, focusing intently on feeling his daughter's pulse. As time passed, Su Shizhong's expression gradually shifted from concentration to surprise, and finally to overwhelming joy.

"Xiao Qing, let me check again." Su Shizhong released his right hand and then carefully took her pulse on her left wrist.

About two minutes later, Su Shizhong slowly opened his eyes, his eyes already moist. His hands trembled as he tightly grasped his daughter's hand, his voice choked with emotion: "Xiao Qing, Xiao Qing, you're really cured! Your pulse has recovered so quickly, it's unbelievable!"

Su Qing continued, "Xu Hao said that as long as I continue taking the medication for another month, I can be completely cured."

As she spoke, she took out an exquisite jade bottle from her bag, shook it gently, and heard the crisp sound of pills colliding inside.

After listening, Su Shizhong's eyes were filled with relief and gratitude. He turned to Xu Hao and said solemnly, "Xiao Xu, thank you so much. As your father, I owe you a huge favor!"
