Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him-Chapter 674: Lu Yingxue, Go Resolve It

Lu Bannong bowed deeply and didn’t rise for a long time.

This scene moved others in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association greatly, unexpectedly seeing that Chairman Lu and Cheng Han had mutual respect and understanding, both as opponents and confidants.

Qiao Xi stared coldly at the back of Lu Bannong.

So pretentious!

An exceptionally skilled viper in acting.

After Lu Bannong and Lu Yingxue finished paying their respects, they walked up to Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou.

Qiao Xi’s face was pale, unable to hide her fatigue.

Looking clearly distressed, Lu Yingxue smirked slightly, easily imagining just how pained Qiao Xi was right now.

"Qiao Xi, you were a disciple of Mr. Cheng, which makes you my junior. If you need any help in the future, feel free to come to me," Lu Bannong said kindly, "You’re even younger than my daughter."

Qiao Xi raised her eyes to look at him and said coldly, "Chairman Lu, do you think my master’s death was an accident?"

"Why wouldn’t it be? In the deep mountains and forests, many accidents can happen. The old sir spent his life practicing medicine and went into the mountains alone for herbs. We’re also saddened by the accident,"

Lu Bannong said with a straight face, without a hint of guilt.

It was clearly his people who caused Cheng Han’s death, yet he could remain so calm.

"Qiao Xi, I know your master’s death has saddened you greatly, but please take heart!"

Lu Bannong pretended to comfort her, "Life has to go on, and with us elders around, we’ll help you. Even though Cheng Han is gone, we will take care of you as his only disciple."

Qiao Xi scoffed and impulsively stepped forward, saying angrily, "Take care? If I remember correctly, Mr. Huang once told me that Chairman Lu once wanted to become Grandpa Cheng’s disciple but was refused by him. Speaking of which, we are of the same generation; what kind of elder are you!"

She was intense in the mourning hall,

surprising many directors of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association.

"Chairman Lu, what makes you qualified to be my elder? My elders are of the Liu Family, the Huo Family, and those who have passed. They have nothing to do with you, so don’t flatter yourself."

Qiao Xi’s emotions were indeed abnormal, and Lu Bannong knew that with Huo Xingzhou present, she must have had suspicions about the cause of Cheng Han’s death.

But so what!

They didn’t have any evidence.

Qiao Xi’s helpless anger was exactly what he wanted.

"Qiao Xi, your words are too harsh. My father was just concerned about you. But we understand your pain from losing your master, so we’ll forgive you this time."

"Yes, Vice Chairman Qiao, you’re still young and shouldn’t talk to Chairman Lu like that."

"Condolences, Mr. Cheng would also want you to recover quickly!"

"Vice Chairman Qiao, we understand how you feel."

They all thought Lu Bannong was innocent and defended him.

Qiao Xi’s face was very unpleasant to look at as she noticed Lu Bannong’s almost unconcealable smile in his eyes, her anger on her face growing more obvious.

"Father, let’s leave quickly. Some people may not want to see us."

"She’s probably too sad, and it’s not suitable for us to stay long."

The Lu father-daughter duo acted in harmony, appearing generous and considerate.

Others also followed suit, getting ready to leave.

Qiao Xi shouted, "Vice Chairman Lin, could I take a few minutes of your time? I have something to discuss."

Lin Chunsheng was stunned for a moment and said, "Oh, okay. You all go ahead and wait for me outside, I’ll be right out."

The Lu father-daughter duo left with the others, puzzled.

Lin Chunsheng asked softly, "Vice Chairman Qiao, what can I do for you?"

"I’d like to ask about those homeless volunteers in the Association’s Inpatient Department, are there any regulations related to them? I heard they are all without any family connections."

"Yes, none of these people have any living relatives, and they’re quite a financial burden on the Association. If it weren’t for the donations from kind-hearted people in society, our accounts might look pretty bad."

Qiao Xi calmly continued, "So... under what circumstances can they leave the Association?"

"Normally, they can’t, but if someone with any distant connection is willing to take care of them and can provide the necessary medical conditions, they can take them away. But honestly, if they had the ability, they wouldn’t leave them in the Association in the first place."

These people suffer from rare diseases or costly chronic conditions.

Distant relatives who have little to do with each other wouldn’t take on such burdens, it’s better for them to stay in the Association and receive good treatment.

"What proof is needed?"

"Proof of assets and proof of relationship. These aren’t set in stone, as long as you can provide these, you can take them away. You must also accept our Association’s subsequent regular visits, as we’re ultimately responsible as doctors."

"What if I find a reputable insider to vouch for me to confirm my relationship with the patient?"

Vice Chairman Lin hesitated for a moment, then said, "If the person’s social status is high enough, then yes."

"Alright, thank you, Vice Chairman Lin."

Qiao Xi’s eyes glittered.

She might know what to do now.

If Lu Yingxue wants to hesitate, let her.

Lin Chunsheng asked curiously, "Vice Chairman Qiao, why do you need this information?"

"I want to honor my elders and do something considerate for them. I hope Vice Chairman Lin can keep this confidential for me. If anyone asks what I spoke with you about, please don’t reveal the truth."

"Okay."

Lin Chunsheng responded and then walked out.

Huo Xingzhou’s expression was indifferent, "Do you think he’s trustworthy?"

"He should be trustworthy. After all, having stayed under Lu Bannong for so many years, he seems easygoing and good-tempered, no threat at all. Lin Chunsheng doesn’t need to curry favor with Lu Bannong, so I trust him."

Besides, what if he can’t be trusted?

What she needed to do must be done even if the word got out.

Huo Xingzhou’s lips curled slightly, and his deep eyes looked at her, "It seems you’ve really understood the rules of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, to have discovered this regulation."

"To use the rules, you must study them. Xingzhou, this is what you taught me. It was only last night I got this inspiration, and since father and daughter want a paternity test, then that report is the best proof. But Lu Bannong won’t let go easily, so I need someone to vouch for us."

Qiao Xi took a deep breath, took his hand, and continued, "The person should know about the past and have had many dealings with Grandpa Cheng."

"It’s Old Mr. Huang with the Gold Needle Technique."

"Exactly!"

Huo Xingzhou’s eyes were full of admiration. He raised his hand to stroke her soft hair and said, "You can guess everything I’m thinking."

Knowing every step thoroughly!

Leaving no stones unturned!

Qiao Xi looked at him, her eyes full of small, bright smiles, "Was my acting good just now?"

"Very out of character, Lu Bannong surely won’t suspect..." he whispered almost biting her ear, "Cheng Han is still alive."

"That’s good then."

Qiao Xi’s delicate face carried a hint of coldness, "We’ve waited so long, it’s finally our turn to take control."

The good days for the Lu family are numbered!

Huo Xingzhou’s voice was slightly hoarse, light and faint in her ear, "Qiao Xi, I’ve discovered something particularly interesting. Would you like to know?"
