Elder Huang smiled and replied, “Of course I know him. I was even fortunate enough to speak to him. Your grandfather used to be one of the leading doctors in the Chinese Imperial Doctors Association, but when his health deteriorated, he returned to his hometown to recover. After that, I never saw him again.”

Since Yu Gangan’s surname was Yu, he had been thinking about someone with that surname. Who would have thought that her grandfather was He Chengshou?

“No wonder you know how to apply gold needles,” he sighed.

Elder Jiang gently cleared his throat, “Why haven’t I heard of He Chengshou from the Chinese Imperial Doctors Association?”

“Then, do you know the infamous, Elder Cai?” Elder Huang asked.

The old man nodded his head, “Of course.”

“Elder He was Elder Cai’s student. Elder Cai wasn’t proficient with gold needles, so he used to bring this student with him to all of his consultations. Of course, he also passed down a lot of his knowledge to Elder He. The two of them were 10 years apart in age, so rather than teacher and student, they were more like friends that complemented each other. After Elder Cai passed away, Elder He fell sick and returned home. Although I never saw him again, I heard he opened a clinic in his hometown.”

“If Elder Cai wasn’t proficient with gold needles, who did Elder He learn his acupuncture skills from?”

“I heard that it was passed down from his ancestors. His technique was very special when applying needles. He was very particular about the techniques he used and the length of needle retention, and the technique he chose was determined by his patient’s condition. For example, the slow-quick technique, the lifting-inserting technique, and the twisting-twirling technique.”

As Elder Huang spoke, he looked at Yu Gangan and smiled, “It seems like you’ve inherited your grandfather’s skills.”

Yu Gangan was shocked. She didn’t know her grandfather was so famous. In her memory, her grandfather was just a normal old man that was a doctor of Chinese medicine inside a small city.

She suddenly snapped out of her daze and replied gently, “My grandfather taught me everything he knew.”

Elder Huang then smiled at Yu Gangan and asked, “Is your grandfather well?”

Yu Gangan’s eyes sank as she said sadly, “My grandfather passed away 2 years ago.”

Elder Huang’s expression changed. He was disappointed as he comforted Yu Gangan.

After Elder Huang left, Elder Jiang looked at Yu Gangan. Although he wasn’t full of smiles, his expression was obviously much better than before.

As Yu Gangan left, he asked casually, “When will you be returning for a follow-up consultation?”

“Don’t you already have Elder Huang to do that?”

As soon as the old man heard this, his expression darkened. “Elder Huang is Elder Huang, you are you. You’re still young, don’t try to slack off. I was treated by both of you, so both of you need to check my pulse again,” he said fiercely.

The old man was acting arrogantly again. Yu Gangan smiled helplessly and nodded her head, “Fine, I’ll come back in a couple of days to follow-up with you.”

After hearing this, the old man was satisfied. He then waved his hand in an annoyed manner, “Hurry and leave.”

…

Jiang Baian never expected that Yu Gangan was actually a doctor.

Moreover, she was a doctor invited by Fang Zhihan.

While Yu Gangan and Elder Huang were checking Elder Jiang’s pulse, he pulled out his phone and made a phone call in secret.

As soon as the call connected, he instructed, “Help me investigate someone: the doctor that Fang Zhihan invited. Her name is Yu Gangan.”

The person on the other end paused and asked, “Yu Gangan?”

“What? Do you know her?”

“He Shigui’s student.”

Jiang Baian’s expression immediately changed.
