I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 767: Chapter 766: I’ll Take You Home

Recently, a task appeared on the Association’s task board, sparking much discussion among the people. It was a task that had been posted before, but the Mystic Doctor who accepted it gave up on it. Although giving up would mean losing points, if the task couldn’t be completed, it shouldn’t be forced, right? So, such situations are not uncommon and didn’t attract much attention, except that the person who abandoned the task was Jiang Mingzhong from the renowned Qingyu School, leading to a small wave of discussions.

This matter quickly disappeared like a pebble thrown into the sea. However, recently, the same task was posted again on the task board. It was identical to the previous one, except that it specified someone in particular to accept it!

This way of posting a task was unprecedented, intriguing many. Seeing that the specified individual was Jiang Mingzhong from the Qingyu School, everyone immediately recalled that Jiang Mingzhong had previously abandoned this very task.

Since his name now often carried a prefix, many doubted Qingyu’s reputation when he abandoned the task. Qingyu had been dazzling time and again, and although they had the support of the Great Power, Beisitian, jealousy was inevitable.

Usually, things were fine, but as soon as any issue arose, it would instantly invite a flood of negative comments.

And with this task, the issuer was the same person, clearly indicating that Jiang Mingzhong’s previous abandonment was likely not due to inability but related to the treatment costs. Such task disputes were also common within the Association.

If Jiang Mingzhong had not abandoned the task due to inability, those doubting voices would naturally be quelled.

Some even suspected this person to be a decoy set up by Qingyu and reported it to the Association. However, the Association investigated the matter and confirmed that it was not a decoy from Qingyu, listing the task release times and order of Zhou Tielong.

After Jiang Mingzhong accepted the task, Beisitian handed him the medicine, instructing him to let the woman consume it. The disease was peculiar due to artificial bacteria, something Beisitian had encountered before and knew how to handle.

There were three bottles of medicine in total, to be consumed over a week. Once the growth of the artificial bacteria was suppressed and subsequently killed, the patient would soon awaken.

Despite not holding much hope, Beisitian still asked Wei Zhongxun to keep an eye on the woman, just in case she didn’t lose her memory?

But thinking logically, if one wished to protect their safe haven, they certainly wouldn’t want anyone to remember the way. Memory loss was the best option.

After Jiang Mingzhong resolved the task from Zhou Tielong, he was looking forward to observing how Beisitian would tackle the problem with the Qin Family. Watching the drama was supposed to be a leisurely activity, but unexpectedly, troubles caught up with Jiang Mingzhong.

That day, Jiang Mingzhong received a phone call claiming to be for him. He was puzzled, having recently come to Beijing; who would call him?

Upon answering, Jiang Mingzhong heard a voice so familiar it couldn’t be more so.

”Dad, where are you?”

It was his son, Jiang Fei.

Jiang Mingzhong paused for a moment, his voice somewhat unsteady, carrying a slight tremor, ”What is it?”

He thought he had no emotions left, but hearing that voice, he couldn’t control his feelings.

”Dad, I’m here to take you home!” Jiang Fei’s voice came through.

Jiang Mingzhong was dazed for a moment. Hearing this plan was a sharp stab to his heart.

If Jiang Fei had said that before he was kicked out, before he jumped into that great river, he might have forgiven him; but now...

”No need, I’m doing well,” Jiang Mingzhong said, ready to hang up.

”Dad, please don’t hang up. Lixia realized her mistake, and I have scolded her too. We just want to bring you back home. We are all in Beijing now, just tell me your address!” Jiang Fei’s voice carried a hint of happiness.

Being able to bring Jiang Mingzhong back home made him feel somewhat better.

Hearing this, Jiang Mingzhong tightened his grip on the phone, tears immediately streaming down, ”Good son... You really are a good son!” He said before hanging up with a snap.

He wasn’t crying because Jiang Fei scolded Jin Lixia and wanted to bring him home; he wept at seeing through Jiang Fei’s real motive, filled with endless irony at his ”good” son.

Jiang Fei and his family being in Beijing implied they had learned about Jiang Mingzhong’s current life and status, deliberately reaching out. No wonder Jiang Fei suddenly wanted to bring him home!

After hanging up, Jiang Mingzhong cried tears of bitterness. It was his fault for not raising his son properly; he had grown so distorted without his knowledge. He deserved all these as his punishment!

Tian Zhi took the phone from his hand, sighing. This phone was Qingyu’s contact number to the outside. Jiang Fei probably found some of Jiang Mingzhong’s old friends, who gathered information through the Association.

Therefore, Jiang Fei likely had a rough understanding of his father, Jiang Mingzhong, knowing at least that he was better than before, perhaps even better than before.

Wei Zhongxun and Tian Zhi went out, and Beisitian sighed before leaving the living room, leaving only Jiang Mingzhong and the bewildered Jiang Xin behind.

Jiang Mingzhong quickly composed himself emotionally, sitting on the sofa with a hoarse voice addressing Jiang Xin, ”I’d like to be alone for a while.”

Jiang Xin was a bit worried but eventually left, glancing back every few steps.

After crying, Jiang Mingzhong felt much better, at least not as suffocated. He just couldn’t accept the reality that his own son could shamelessly resort to this.

After sitting idly for a while, Jiang Mingzhong adjusted his emotions and started planning. Since Jiang Fei was in Beijing, he wouldn’t just leave like that; he probably encountered some difficulties.

Jiang Fei managed to find Qingyu’s external phone number, who knows if he might find the address of the small courtyard. Jiang Mingzhong didn’t want these annoying matters to disrupt Beisitian anymore; Beisitian had given him so much, and he hadn’t even started repaying, yet more trouble was surfacing.

Jiang Mingzhong contemplated how to send Jiang Fei and Jin Lixia back. He had no intention of following them. When Jiang Fei arrived, he would lay bare all his actions for him to hear.

Jiang Mingzhong had made up his mind; no matter how Jiang Fei pleaded, he wouldn’t follow them back!

Just as he had resolved his thoughts, the next day Jiang Fei and Jin Lixia showed up.

Jiang Mingzhong, seeing the two standing in the courtyard, was utterly stunned. He never knew his son could have such extraordinary capabilities, not only finding the phone number but also locating his residence!

Yes, not Beisitian’s small courtyard, but the place Jiang Mingzhong and Jiang Xin were staying!

Seeing Jiang Mingzhong, Jiang Fei knelt down with a thud, ”Dad, I’m sorry, please come home with me!”
