After all, Wu Hao went to great lengths to hire bodyguards to ensure his family’s safety. If he didn’t thoroughly check their past records and backgrounds, he wouldn’t feel secure arranging for them to be around his parents!

The slight pressure Wu Hao exerted in front of these bodyguards was mainly to remind them of their duties and also because he hoped to cultivate a team completely loyal to him.

In fact, most private bodyguards, apart from a few recruited by the security company from universities or martial arts schools, generally have a military background.

Moreover, they aren’t ordinary soldiers; most of them are retired from special forces. Among those Wu Hao recruited, Shen Lin stood out the most.

Wu Hao had carefully reviewed Shen Lin’s past records and background, which led him to choose him without hesitation and appoint him as the team leader.

After several hours of driving, Wu Hao and his team arrived in the provincial capital and checked into a five-star hotel closest to the hospital.

Since Wu Hao and his bodyguards were in casual clothes, they didn’t attract much attention when entering the hotel. This was because Wu Hao didn’t have them wear their uniform ‘work clothes.’ If they were all in black suits, it would have been a different story.

After resting for a night at the hotel, Wu Hao accompanied his parents to the hospital for a check-up the next morning. During this time, his parents and sister Wu Xiaoxiao were quite worried and anxious about his father’s results. It wasn’t until the doctor informed them of the results at noon that they were completely relieved.

However, while they were relieved, the hospital’s doctors were still in shock. It turned out that the doctor in charge of Wu Hao’s father was the same one who had treated him the previous year.

“Excuse me for interrupting, but could you tell us what kind of treatment Mr. Wu received after leaving the hospital?”

Hearing the doctor’s question, Zhang Huilan hesitated and looked at Wu Hao. More than a month ago, Wu Hao had instructed her not to reveal the use of the elixir to anyone. The doctors could tell from her expression that they wouldn’t get any useful information.

“Sorry, my father did take some medicine and received special treatment, but it was from a wandering doctor. After the treatment, he left, and we promised not to disclose his identity.” Wu Hao explained with a slight smile, knowing his excuse was flimsy but better than telling them his father took an experimental drug from a foreign lab.

If it were the former, they couldn’t pursue it, but if it were the latter, they might go to great lengths to find it.

“That’s really unfortunate!” The doctors doubted Wu Hao’s explanation but knew they wouldn’t get any more information from him.

“Yes, very unfortunate,” Wu Hao nodded slightly, but he didn’t think so. While he couldn’t use the elixir to make a cure for cancer, his gene lab was now complete. In time, he was confident that gene research would find a solution.

However, there was no need to rush. Even if he developed such a drug, it would need a proper way to be promoted. So, this couldn’t be hurried.

After bidding farewell to the doctors, Wu Hao and his parents returned to the hotel.

Not long after they left, the hospital organized a small seminar.

“Director, are we just going to give up? This is a major event in the medical field! If we figure out the medication and treatment method, it could benefit all of humanity!” The speaking doctor was passionate and righteous, but the underlying reason was the fame and profit for the hospital.

Everyone present understood this unspoken truth.

“That’s true, but judging by the patient’s family’s attitude, it seems unlikely we’ll get anything valuable. Besides, the patient’s identity appears unusual.”

“Indeed, but we can’t just give up.”

The doctors and directors debated fiercely but couldn’t come up with a good solution. Eventually, the hospital director ended the meeting, assigning some to communicate with Wu Hao’s family and others to further study Wu Hongguo’s blood samples. The findings were also reported to higher authorities.

If it were a usual case of late-stage cancer recovery, they wouldn’t react so strongly, merely marveling at the miracle. Cases of cancer self-healing, though rare, do happen.

However, Wu Hongguo’s case was different. Months ago, they found his condition was controlled by some unknown drug. Now, his complete recovery and improved physical condition puzzled them.

Because such an event had never been recorded before, the hospital’s reaction was understandable.

Meanwhile, Wu Hao and his family happily dined at the hotel. During this time, Wu Hongguo learned about the initial concealment of his condition by Wu Hao and his mother.

Although surprised, Wu Hongguo didn’t blame them. Instead, he felt grateful, knowing he wouldn’t have handled the news of his terminal illness so calmly.
