Shangguan Hou pondered briefly and replied ambiguously. "Perhaps."

His acupuncture treatment was unable to cure the patient, but he was certain that the perpetrator could do it.

However, Shangguan Hou did not tell Mr. Yuan about this.

"You have to save my son. He's so young," implored Mr. Yuan with his eyes red.

Despite Mr. Yuan's words, Shangguan Hou remained unmoved. Since he was here at the behest of Fan Shun, he said, "I'll need to go back and figure out what we can do about his condition."

The moment he finished his sentence, he took his things and left.

Mr. Yuan promptly walked Shangguan Hou out.

Yuan Xi stood at the bedroom door and watched from behind as they left. She raised her head and turned to look at Yuan Huan lying in the room with her fists tightened for some time, but she did not dare to enter the room.

Shangguan Hou's words kept reverberating in her ears. There was a chance to save Yuan Huan.

If her older brother recovered fully, god knew what would happen. Yuan Xi inhaled deeply. She paused briefly, took out her phone, swiped down to Huo Yao's chat group, and sent her a text message.

Huo Yao was still outside when she received the text message. She had just met up with Lei Xiao. She promptly replied to Yuan Xi's text message: [Did you find someone who could treat your older brother?]

Yuan Xi replied: [The doctor didn't say it for sure. He just said maybe.]

Huo Yao raised her brow and answered: [Perhaps he's just lying.]

Considering her acupuncture technique, it was impossible for Yuan Huan to survive. She only went easy on him since he was Yuan Xi's older brother.

Yuan Xi was uncomfortable, but she felt a little better after hearing what Huo Yao said. She thought about the imposing Chinese physician she saw earlier and composed a new text message: [The guy looks quite different from a usual doctor. He was dressed in a traditional Chinese suit and looked like he knew what he was doing. Since he came at the recommendation of my father's friend, I'm sure he's good.]

Huo Yao kept thinking about the mysterious Chinese physician dressed in a traditional Chinese suit.

Huo Yao tapped on the screen gently before she asked: [What is his name?]

Yuan Xi replied: [I don't know either. I heard Dad addressing him as Mr. Hou.]

Who was this Mr. Hou?

Huo Yao kept trying to recall if she knew someone like him, but no one came to mind. She stopped asking about the doctor and they ended the conversation before long.

Meanwhile, on the other end.

Shangguan Hou went straight to the hotel after leaving the Yuan residence.

Shortly after tapping his key card, his phone rang.

Shangguan Hou took out his phone and saw it was Fan Shun calling him. He knew Fan Shun must be calling to ask for an update about Yuan Huan's condition.

"Mr. Shangguan, how is he?" Fan Shun's cool voice could be heard over the phone.

"He's a lost cause," said Shangguan Hou as he opened the door and entered the bathroom to retrieve a box from the sink counter.

The box contained a vial of medicine and a stirrer. He picked up the glass by the side, filled it halfway with water, and added two drops of medicine to it.

After stirring its contents, he dipped his index finger and middle finger into the glass and applied the medical solution to his face deftly.

Fan Shun narrowed his eyes the moment he heard Shangguan Hou's reply. "Is there no hope for him? Is there really no way you can treat him? What about making him regain consciousness short term then? Why can't you treat him? Aren't you from the Shangguan clan?"

Shangguan Hou looked into the mirror while he applied medicine. When he heard what Fan Shun said, he paused briefly.

He quickly suppressed his displeasure and said mildly, "If you want Yuan Huan to recover, you need to find the culprit behind this. That's the only person who can do anything about his condition."

Fan Shun tightened his grip on the phone. If his men were able to find the culprit, he would not approach Shangguan Hou for help, especially since he would rather not owe Shangguan Hou anything.

He pressed his brow. He thought about the incredible test statistics shown in Yuan Huan's email attachments and that's why implored Shangguan Hou to help save Yuan Huan.

He had to figure out the subject of Yuan Huan's testing and bring the subject back to the base for research.
