Chapter 575
Chapter 575: Chapter 567 He Found What Chapter 575: Chapter 567 He Found What All he had hoped for was that Tong Shu could uncover that acupuncture technique, advancing their Tong Family further and taking them to higher levels.
However, the wait was too long.
Generations of the Tong Family had been searching, again and again, life after life.
How many cycles of reincarnation had passed, nobody knew.
Yet, they were still unsuccessful in finding the Chen Family’s Rejuvenation Acupuncture Technique.
They even debated the existence of the Chen Family.
Did the Chen Family possess such a life-sustaining acupuncture technique?
Did the Chen Family still have descendants?
These were questions they did not know the answer to, and had no way of finding out.
He stood up and walked out of the house.
He began practicing Tai Chi in the courtyard.
He felt that his breath had smoothed out over several rounds of movement and, his heart felt calmer.
However, what weighed heavily on his mind was the Chen Family’s Rejuvenation Acupuncture Technique.
If they couldn’t find it, he might end up like his great-grandfather, grandfather and father who passed away with regret and unfulfilled wishes.

In a sense, the Chen Family’s Rejuvenation Acupuncture Technique was inscribed on the hearts of their Tong Family just like a devil.
They spent their entire lives searching for it, but their final discovery was only their lifetime of perseverance.
Ending his posture, Tong Feng returned and sat down, no longer restless or upset.
He wouldn’t have been so anxious if the Tong Family had another talented heir like him.
Ever since Tong Shu’s incident occurred, he realized he lacked foresight in his selection.
Tong Shu was not the perfect heir in his mind; just as the moon has phases and flowers can’t bloom all the time, no one could be perfect.
A person couldn’t be completely perfect.
Even if the heir he had wasn’t perfect, he was the only one left.
That’s why he wanted to find a way to maintain their family’s legacy.
After sitting for a while, he started feeling restless and stood up again.
He began pacing the room and his thoughts were once again frenetic.
Just as he was about to go outside for more Tai Chi, he spotted a CD that he didn’t recall leaving aside.
“What is this…?”
He walked over and picked up the small disc labelled Dr.
Xiaozhang.
His grandchildren often used it to play movies for him.
He initially decided to put the disc aside and walk away, but then he picked it up again.
He might as well watch it.
He had nothing else to do and it was time for him to understand why Principal Zhu had such a high opinion of the young doctor they had under his care.
He was able to recognize the disc because of the words written on it, it said, “For Hospital Use Only”.
He remembered receiving a copy.
He might be old, but he wasn’t senile, he remembered such matters.
After inserting the disc, he sat down and began to watch.
He was curious about the progression of today’s youth.
Though without much expectation, he knew the disc probably contained elements of Western medicine.
Traditional Chinese medicine in his country had gradually been losing its relevance.
It wasn’t inferiority; Western medicine was more direct, obvious, or to put it simply, more quick-fix oriented, unlike traditional Chinese medicine.
Practice of traditional Chinese medicine required time, calmness, talent, and destiny.
Except for their traditional Chinese medical families, it is hard to bring up a suitable practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine.
He leaned back as the screen showed an operating room.
It was a surgical procedure.
The patient’s face wasn’t visible, only their legs protruded from under the drapes.
The legs looked distressing to anyone who saw them.
They were mangled, with exposed bone.
Tong Feng squinted his eyes.
For an injury like this…
Amputation may be the only option.
Even he, with his skills, might not be able to save these legs.
However, the ensuing scenes made him sit upright abruptly.
His face changed from calm to flushed, and then gradually turned to pale, before returning to its natural color.
With a snap, he turned off the TV and took out the disc, holding it in his hand.
“Grandpa, were you looking for me?”
Returning from the hospital, Tong Shu came straight to Tong Feng.
Since the incident, she felt that her grandfather was not as warm towards her as before.
Could she be blamed?
Even if her talent was extraordinary, she could still make mistakes.
Who would have known that the woman’s leg would end up in such a state?
Who could have thought an irretrievable situation would lead to her grandfather needing to personally step in to resolve the situation?
If not, she might not have been able to keep her job as a doctor.
Yes, that’s correct.
She might not be able to continue being a doctor.
And regardless of how hostile Tong Feng may be, he wouldn’t stand by and watch his carefully nurtured successor be destroyed by a minor surgery.
“Has that woman been discharged?”
Tong Feng questioned Tong Shu.
One could tell from a glance that the woman was not simple and would likely try to extract some form of compensation.
Tong Shu’s face darkened, she was indeed full of grievances.
“She’s demanding fifty thousand.”
Fifty thousand, huh, fifty thousand.
Just mentioning this amount made Tong Shu’s teeth grind.
Fifty thousand, how many years would an average person have to work to earn that amount?
Yet, she had the audacity to demand it.
This was outright extortion.
To many people, fifty thousand was indeed a lot since many earned just a thousand or so a month, possibly even less.
This fifty thousand might require a family’s ten years of savings.
“If she demands it, give it to her.”
To Tong Feng, money was not important.

The Tong Family was his priority.
Plus, fifty thousand, his eyes flickered for a moment.
There were certain things others might not understand but he definitely would.
Fifty thousand could buy someone’s life for possibly ten years.
This was a worthwhile investment.
Of course, he wouldn’t say this to anyone.
As for how many years the woman could live after taking the money, that would depend on her fate.
Upon hearing Tong Feng’s decision, Tong Shu no longer dared to complain.
She understood her grandfather’s character very well.
Once he had made a decision, it was final and would not be changed.
“Do you know who the student is that Principal Zhu recommended to me back then?”
Tong Feng asked Tong Shu nonchalantly.
Back then, he had seen Tong Shu’s reaction and she was clearly indifferent.
Tong Shu must know who Zhu, the principal, meant.
“Of course, I do.”
