The others in the room also gathered around.
When they saw the black thread in Du Fei's hand, they all showed surprised expressions.
"This, this is simply unbelievable. How could something so fine and soft penetrate a skull? The skull is one of the hardest parts of the human body."
Hua Chengfeng touched the black thread with his hand. It felt soft, and he didn't know what material it was made of.
However, he couldn't understand how something so soft had been inserted into Situ Rou's head. As he had just said, the skull was incredibly hard, yet the black thread was as limp as a cotton rope.
"That's not necessarily true."
After Du Fei finished speaking, he channeled his true qi into the black thread with his right hand. The black thread, which had been hanging loosely, instantly became straight.
In the room, apart from Fang Chao and Situ Guang, who remained calm, everyone else was in an uproar.
"I never expected this young friend to be able to release internal energy externally at such a young age. Fortunately, we didn't act rashly just now, or we would have brought shame upon ourselves."
A master standing beside the butler saw Du Fei's display and was glad they hadn't made a move earlier. Otherwise, even if all of them had attacked together, they would not have been Du Fei's match.
Du Fei glanced at him but said nothing.
After observing, Hua Chengfeng bowed to Du Fei. "I'm impressed, truly impressed. So, young man, not only is your medical skill extraordinary, but you also have extraordinary talent in martial arts. You have truly opened my eyes."
"Dr. Hua, you flatter me too much."
Du Fei had a good impression of Hua Chengfeng because he had spoken up to remind him earlier.
When Hua Chengfeng bowed, Du Fei immediately reached out to help him up.
"Ah, I'm a very unconventional person. As the saying goes, the wise lead. Your medical skills are superior to mine, so you are my senior. Would it be convenient to exchange contact information? If I encounter any rare illnesses in the future, I can seek your advice."
Hua Chengfeng didn't feel awkward about it at all.
Du Fei nodded and gave Hua Chengfeng his contact information.
Afterward, Hua Chengfeng said he had some matters to attend to and left.
Once Hua Chengfeng had left, Situ Guang came before Du Fei and bowed solemnly.
"Benefactor, please accept my bow."
Du Fei stopped Situ Guang before he could fully bow. Although Situ Guang's tone had been unpleasant earlier, Du Fei could understand, as he was concerned about his daughter. He figured anyone would have had the same reaction seeing Du Fei about to operate on their unconscious daughter.
"Young friend, since you have saved my daughter, I, Situ Guang, will keep my word. Whatever request you have, I will fulfill it for you."
Situ Guang didn't even ask what Du Fei's request would be, clearly confident in his own capabilities.
Du Fei then listed the medicinal ingredients he needed, one by one.
Situ Guang was taken aback when he heard the list. He never would have imagined that Du Fei's request would only be for some medicinal ingredients. Although the ingredients Du Fei mentioned were rare, they were insignificant compared to his daughter's life.
Situ Guang turned to the butler and said, "Go and bring out all the precious medicinal ingredients from the warehouse. Deliver them to our benefactor later."
Du Fei didn't know how many precious medicinal ingredients Situ Guang had at home, but considering that even with Fang Chao and himself searching all over Rongcheng, they couldn't find the herbs he needed, and Situ Guang had them all, it was clear how rich his collection was. Now, he was going to give him a portion of all of them, and Du Fei truly felt overwhelmed.
"Mr. Situ, since you are giving me such a grand gift, I can't accept it for nothing. How about this, I will write you a prescription later. Give your daughter one dose a day, and in a month, her body will recover to be like a normal person's."
Although Situ Rou had woken up, she had been kept alive by nutritional fluids for so long that her body was now very weak, suffering from a deficiency of qi and blood, as it is termed in traditional Chinese medicine. The prescription Du Fei gave Situ Guang would effectively improve and regulate Situ Rou's body, allowing her to gradually regain her normal bodily functions.
"Then I must thank you again."
Situ Guang's face lit up with joy. Although he had many good things to help with recuperation with his wealth and resources, Du Fei was a divine doctor who could even cure his daughter after she had been in a coma for so long. The prescription he provided would naturally be extraordinary.
Situ Rou needed rest and quiet after waking up. So, Situ Guang led Du Fei and Fang Chao to his study.
As soon as the three of them sat down, the butler brought in several cups of tea. After placing the teacups before the three of them, the butler stood behind Situ Guang.
"Du Fei, although you said you only needed some medicinal ingredients, you saved my daughter's life. I can't bear to accept such a great kindness without doing anything in return," Situ Guang paused, then continued, "Here is a check for one hundred million, which can be cashed at any time. Please accept it."
Following this, Situ Guang's butler approached Du Fei and presented him with a check with both hands.
Du Fei originally intended to refuse, as he wasn't there to save people for money. However, Situ Guang's gaze was persistent, and after some understanding, Du Fei realized that the Situ family was deeply rooted and likely comparable to the richest man in Rongcheng. One hundred million might just be a number to him. With this in mind, Du Fei accepted it.
Indeed, seeing that Du Fei had accepted the check, a faint smile appeared on Situ Guang's face.
"By the way, Mr. Situ, may I ask how your daughter was injured? Of course, if it's inconvenient to say, then forget it."
Thinking of Situ Rou's peculiar injury, Du Fei couldn't help but want to know what had happened. However, he also understood that some things might not be convenient to disclose to him, so he added a final sentence.
"Ah, there's nothing that can't be said. My daughter was injured because of an item passed down from our ancestors... Although I still don't know what that item is used for, our family's ancestral instructions for generations have been that the item exists as long as the Situ family exists, and if the item is gone, the Situ family has no reason to exist."
"Therefore, no matter how the other party threatened me, I did not hand over the item."
"Actually, when I think about it, for an item whose purpose I don't even know, I almost endangered my daughter's life. I was truly too stubborn!"
Situ Guang usually had no one to confide in about his troubles. Being asked by Du Fei, he poured out everything. Fortunately, heaven favored the persistent. Heaven arranged for Du Fei to appear and cure his daughter. Otherwise, Situ Guang would never have forgiven himself.
Afterward, the three chatted for a while longer, and then Du Fei and Fang Chao got up to leave. Situ Guang personally escorted them to the door.
When Du Fei saw the two large trucks parked outside the door and Situ Guang told him that the trucks were filled with medicinal ingredients for him, Du Fei was stunned. Du Fei was very grateful for the medicinal ingredients Situ Guang was giving him, but he truly had no place to store them. Subsequently, Situ Guang directly gave Du Fei two commercial properties in the city, suggesting he transport the items there. Hearing this, Du Fei could only sigh at the immense wealth of the Situ family.
