Chapter 14: The Entertainment Big Shot Seeks Medical Attention

  That night, the incident at Jang Ho-dong's barbecue shop where top stars collectively sought medical attention was known to hardly anyone except those present and a few serving staff. But there is no wall that doesn't leak in this world, so how could people who often meet Liu Zai-shi, who has extensive connections in the Korean entertainment circle, not know about his usual mental state?

  A rumor began to circulate among South Korea's top celebrities that Kim Jong-kook knew a highly skilled doctor who had solved many unspeakable and stubborn diseases for many stars. For a time, stars who were not feeling well physically all liked to get close to Kim Jong-kook, hoping to be introduced by him to this legendary Chinese medicine doctor.

  Even the party with the stars that night, he had been staying at Li's house for several days, taking care of Han Ankang, his sworn brother who was exhausted. He hadn't gone out in a few days, but news about him spread quickly through the Korean entertainment circle. Moreover, as the rumors were passed down, they became exaggerated and it was said that Kim Jong-kook knew a divine doctor who could 'cure dead people'.

  Kim Jong-kook, who didn't know the situation would turn out like this, found out after the dinner party that night that Han An-keun only had a month in Korea. Moreover, he has been busy taking care of a friend's relatively serious illness recently and hasn't had time to meet up.

  It was just a call from an entertainment industry big shot, and Kim Jong-kook really didn't know how to refuse. Although the big shot didn't mention it explicitly, he wanted Han Ahn-kang to help treat one of his relatives' illnesses. But considering this big shot's usual behavior, he wouldn't normally call someone like Kim Jong-kook, a star, and even shared that there was a family member who had fallen ill at home.

  As long as Kim Jong-kook isn't stupid, he should know that this rumor is no longer under his control. If he doesn't ask Han An-ke for help, I'm afraid that entertainment big shot will say something unpleasant to him and he'll be in a difficult situation in the entertainment circle.

  It's clear that this matter must be told to Han Ankang, and Jin Zhongguo, who was originally reluctant to trouble him again, had no choice but to call Han Ankang once more. He truthfully told Han Ankang about the negative impact brought by their last gathering, and at the same time, sincerely apologized for the trouble he caused Han Ankang.

  Han Ankang also felt that it was just treating a few patients, but it caused a big stir in the city, which was indeed unexpected. However, he also knew that this matter, the real troublemaker was not him, but Jin Zhongguo, the first person he met. Han Ankang, who never liked to bring trouble to his friends, thought that Li Zongwei's treatment had already ended, and what was left was just recuperation.

  He readily agreed, and can go to see the illness of that entertainment mogul's elder. As for whether he can cure it or not, it depends on the situation. After all, he knows some medical skills, but also doesn't dare guarantee that he can cure all diseases.

  For Han Ankang to give himself such face, Jin Zhongguo was undoubtedly grateful from the heart. He also knew that as long as Han Ankang was willing to go, it didn't matter whether he could cure the illness of that big shot's elder or not. At least he had shown his sincerity. Therefore, even if he couldn't cure the illness of that big shot's elder at that time, he believed that the big shot wouldn't bother him either.

  Having received Han Ankang's reply and confirmed the time, Jin Zhongguo, who had hung up the phone, quickly picked it up again to call that big shot back. Of course, the meaning of the words was that he knew a Chinese medicine doctor from Huaxia who had some unique skills in medical treatment, and hoped to help the elder of this big shot with all his heart.

  The entertainment mogul, who was waiting for this call himself, was very pleased with Kim Jong-kook's tact and said he would give a heads up to the people below and also personally go to pick up Kim Jong-kook's friend. Moreover, he made an exception and let Kim Jong-kook visit his old mansion as a guest. Knowing that he couldn't refuse this favor, Kim Jong-kook readily agreed that the doctor was available at any time and could take him in for treatment whenever it was convenient for the mogul.

  Recently, his father was suddenly afflicted with a strange illness, which made the entertainment mogul's home restless. He had also invited many famous doctors in South Korea to come and diagnose his father's condition. Whether it was Western medicine or traditional Chinese medicine, none of them could find a cure for his father's strange illness. Watching his father suffer from the illness and being on the verge of death, as a son, he naturally sought medical attention everywhere.

  Even rumors heard from subordinates are taken as a lifesaver, and personally calling Jin Zhongguo, a star who is hard to see even once in normal times, undoubtedly gave Jin Zhongguo enough respect. Who made his group have an irresistible share in the Korean entertainment circle?

  The SK Group, in the Korean economic circle, has a greater influence on the entertainment industry than big brands like Samsung.

  When Kim Jong-kook told him that the young Chinese doctor, who was famous in the celebrity circle for his exceptional acupuncture and massage skills, would be able to help his father, SK Group Chairman Choi Ji-ho couldn't think of anyone else in South Korea who could save his father's life. He decided to ask this Chinese doctor to take a look at his father, hoping that he would turn out to be the lifesaving doctor he had been searching for.

  As the influential SK Group Chairman Choi Jae-won in the South Korean entertainment industry, he appeared at Kim Jong-kook's company and had a cordial conversation with Kim Jong-kook. The news immediately caught the attention of many stars in the entertainment industry, wondering when this Kim Jong-kook got involved with such an unapproachable big shot.

  When the fleet arrived at Lee Chong Wei's villa area, the security guard of the district was also frightened by the large fleet. Until under Jin Zhongguo's command, the fleet stopped in front of Lee's house, Lee Chong Wei who was resting at home was also startled. He wondered about the license plate number of the luxury car in front and the corporate logo on it. Having been in South Korea for some time, Lee Chong Wei was curious how they parked their cars in front of his own door.

  Until he saw Han Ankang's calm and peaceful words: "These people are here to pick me up, you don't go out for the next few days, just stay at home honestly. I've called Uncle, if he doesn't see you when he comes back, he said he'll break your dog leg. I'm leaving first, if I don't come back tonight, I'll call you later."

  With that, Han Ankang slung the somewhat outdated travel bag over his shoulder and walked out of the villa's front gate. It was also the first time he had seen the entertainment mogul who had been forced to seek help from Jin Zhongguo.

  Facing the politeness of this big shot, Han Ankang also calmly said: "I know your identity is extraordinary, and you can personally come to pick me up for the sake of your elder's illness, which proves your filial piety. So I'll go with you to take a look. However, you should be clear that if it's not a difficult disease, I estimate you wouldn't have thought of finding me through Brother Jin either."

  Although I have some unusual medical skills that others do not possess, I also dare not guarantee that I can cure all illnesses. Therefore, later on if the illness is indeed something that I am unable to treat, I still hope that you will not blame Ge Dage for it. If by chance I am able to treat it, then I will definitely do my best to help your elder relieve their symptoms.

  "If you accept my terms, I'll go with you right now. If you think it's unnecessary to discuss terms with a small doctor like me, then just leave. As a doctor, all I see are patients, and in my eyes, there is no distinction between the noble and the humble. Do you understand what I mean?"

  Listening to this young doctor who was somewhat surprising, he bluntly stated his request without any courtesy, not taking into account his identity as the chairman of SK Group. Choi Ji-ho not only didn't dare to get angry but on the contrary clearly understood that a doctor who ignored his identity must have extraordinary medical skills unknown to others. As long as he could help his father solve his illness, Han Ahn-kang wouldn't mind his unreasonable behavior.

  Only Kim Jong-kook, who had just introduced the two of them and was standing on the side, felt a mix of fear and gratitude in his heart towards this young brother he had just met, for looking out for his interests. It was also because of Han Ahn-kang's sincerity that Kim Jong-kook would later truly regard him as a close brother, taking good care of the ladies Han Ahn-kang befriended in the Korean entertainment circle.

  Seeing Cui Zhihao still maintaining a humble and gentle attitude after hearing these words, Han Ankang felt that the resentment in his heart had also disappeared. Sitting in the back of the luxury car, he asked Cui Zhihao about his father's illness, what was so special about it. Why couldn't any doctor cure him despite their wealth.

  Choi Ji-ho saw that although this doctor was a bit overbearing, he was meticulous in treating illnesses, and also felt a glimmer of hope for the young Han Ankang's medical skills. He handed over the examination report that had been prepared long ago to Han Ankang to look at. At the same time, he told Han Ankang all about his father's illness in detail.

  After hearing that Cui Zhihao's father, after retiring, loved collecting antiques and recently spent a high price to buy a Ming dynasty jade pendant from an antique dealer. Overjoyed, he often wore the jade pendant on his body and called this behavior "nurturing jade".

  It was only after he started playing with the jade pendant that his father's body began to show symptoms, from initially feeling uncomfortable and itchy all over, to eventually growing some black blisters. When Cui Zhihao realized something was wrong, he sent his father to the hospital for a check-up.

  But as the doctor told him, these black blisters were caused by his father's skin allergy, and after a targeted treatment, there was no effect at all. On the contrary, the more he treated the disease, the more serious it became. Those original black pimples that were just blisters began to burst one by one, making Cui Zhihao's father feel like he was going to die from the pain every time one burst.

  Cui Zhihao, who had seen many doctors without any effect, was thoroughly panicked. Trying every possible means, he invited relevant Chinese and Western medical experts, but the final conclusion was that either the cause of the disease could not be found or some treatment methods could be thought up, but there was still no way to cure this strange disease.

  As he watched his father's breath grow weaker day by day, Cui Zhihao recently even left many company affairs behind and went to ask for famous doctors to come and treat his father, but they were all ineffective.

  Later, in the company, he occasionally heard employees say that there was a rumor circulating in the entertainment industry about a Chinese doctor who was particularly close to Jin Zhongguo, and only then did he think of asking Han Ankang to come over and help with the diagnosis. Because he really couldn't think of any other famous doctors to ask!
