Chapter 269 - I Can Solve It
In that moment, Soong Wanzhong's memories, long buried beneath the dust of time, were stirred by Jiang Hao's unexpected question.
Eight years ago, he and Mu Xinxin had traveled to Myanmar's Divine Jade Mine to select jade stones. It was then that they had just received the blessing of the enigmatic owner to enter the mine. As Mu Xinxin was choosing a fine piece of ice jade, she suddenly collapsed.
Her symptoms were a mirror image of what was happening now. She was overcome with cold, shivering uncontrollably, and kept crying out from the chill. Despite consulting numerous doctors, none could provide a remedy.
?Ultimately, it was the mysterious mine owner who, upon hearing of their plight, sent word that he had the means to heal Mu Xinxin. That was the first time Soong Wanzhong truly met the mine's elusive lord—an elder whose body was nearly withered away. Yet, his frail appearance belied his authority; not a soul dared underestimate him. His followers were a mix of fear and fervent devotion, never daring to cross him.
After examining Mu Xinxin, the mine owner looked up, shaking his head. “Your wife isn't ill; she simply has a unique constitution,” he declared. “I can save her, but in exchange, there will come a time when I face a calamity, and I will need your help to overcome it.”
With those mysterious words, the choice was left to Soong Wanzhong. He was perplexed. The mine owner wielded immense power in Myanmar—what possible misfortune could he face? How did he know of a future calamity? And why was he so certain that Soong Wanzhong could be the one to save him? Though Soong Wanzhong was formidable, he was no doctor, and his influence paled in comparison to the mine owner's.
?But in that critical moment, with Mu Xinxin's condition dire and all others powerless to help, Soong Wanzhong, driven by the deep love for his wife, agreed to the terms.
True to his word, the mysterious mine owner fulfilled his promise, and Mu Xinxin was healed.
The enigmatic mine owner had cautioned that Huiling must avoid touching jade or anything cold in the future.
?From that point on, he resolved to be the family's breadwinner, while Huiling's sole duty was to remain as lovely as a flower.
Jolted by Jiang Hao's reminder, Soong Wanzhong's memories of the long-buried past came flooding back.
In that instant, Soong Wanzhong's face took on a new shade of concern. He rose swiftly and approached Jiang Hao.
“Nephew, indeed, eight years ago, your aunt suffered from the same affliction as today!”
“But she was healed by a master healer at that time!”
Soong Wanzhong's revelation sent ripples of astonishment through the crowd.
All eyes turned to Jiang Hao.
“How does this kid know so much about it?”
They were all echoing Soong Wanzhong's own bewilderment.
Soong Wanzhong fixed his gaze on Jiang Hao.
“Nephew, how did you come by this knowledge?”
With the confirmation from Soong Wanzhong, Jiang Hao felt a surge of confidence.
“Uncle, please take me to Auntie at once! I have the solution to her problem!”
Jiang Hao's bold declaration left everyone in the room taken aback once more.
The doctors exchanged glances, their eyes filled with skepticism as they looked back at Jiang Hao.
“Each of them is at least a senior physician by rank!
How could this young fellow possibly cure what has stumped even our most senior doctors?”
“Surely he's not just boasting?”
At that moment, one of the younger doctors stepped forward, unable to contain himself.
“Mr. Soong, while I understand your concern, we're still in the dark about the cause of your wife's illness.
Now is not the time to let just anyone take a shot at it!”
