Chapter 493: Chapter 493

Xu Hao and Anna nodded, and Ji Feng had no objections either.

Wei Family Restaurant.

Returning here, the restaurant manager already recognized Xu Hao.

When he saw Xu Hao arriving with Ji Feng, the director of Huadu University Medical School, he immediately felt great admiration. Young Master Xu really lived up to his name. No matter where he went, he seemed to thrive like a fish in water.

In just a few days, he had managed to have the esteemed director treat him with such respect and even invited him to a meal.

Indeed, with his discerning eye, he could easily tell that the one inviting them to the meal was Ji Feng.

Ji Feng smiled and said, "Manager Wang, please prepare the best private room for us."

"Haha! Of course! Welcome, Director Ji, Divine Doctor Guan, Young Master Xu, Miss An. Please, right this way," the manager gestured for them to enter.

Ji Feng asked in surprise, "Manager Wang, you know Professor Xu?"

When Manager Wang heard Ji Feng refer to Xu Hao as "Professor Xu," he was momentarily taken aback. Had Young Master Xu become a professor at Huadu University?

Money indeed makes the world go round!

He knew it must be some kind of honorary professorship, but that was still extremely rare.

He hurriedly said, "Yes, Young Master Xu is friends with our Third Young Master, and Elder Master Wei places great importance on the relationship with Young Master Xu."

Guan Wenzhi chuckled and said, "Director Ji, Young Master Xu's influence in Huadu far exceeds your imagination. You'll understand in time."

Ji Feng nodded, his curiosity about Xu Hao growing. Who exactly was this Young Master Xu?

Why did so many people show him such immense respect?

During the meal, Ji Feng asked Xu Hao countless questions, to which Xu Hao replied fluently, even to some that the international medical community had not yet solved!

Although Ji Feng did not fully understand many of the answers Xu Hao provided, he knew that his gains today were absolutely tremendous.

After the meal, having asked quite a few questions, Ji Feng had virtually no doubts about Xu Hao's medical expertise. Even if Xu Hao's ability to treat patients wasn't strong, he didn't care; after all, hiring Xu Hao as an honorary professor was intended to have him teach the students.

However, just as they stepped out of the private room, they heard a commotion outside. It seemed there was an argument.

They couldn't hear clearly, but Xu Hao heard everything distinctly.

Xu Hao furrowed his brows slightly, thinking that this place was, after all, owned by the Wei family, and Elder Master Wei had been quite cordial to him. He suggested, "If you both have time now, shall we go have a look?"

Ji Feng and Guan Wenzhi both nodded in agreement.

As the four of them reached the staircase on the third floor, they heard someone shouting outside one of the private rooms, "Someone's been killed by the food! Someone's been killed by the food! The dishes at the Wei Family Restaurant have killed someone!"

"Could it be a case of food poisoning?" Ji Feng quickened his pace as he spoke.

"It's likely, considering this is a restaurant, and they're talking about someone being killed by food," Guan Wenzhi also picked up his pace. Human life was at stake, and they needed to be there at the first moment to save lives.

Seeing the urgency of the two, Xu Hao nodded slightly; this was a natural demonstration of a doctor's benevolent heart, showing that they took the matter of healing and saving people very seriously in their daily lives. Broughttoyoubythefolksat*.

Soon, they arrived at the door of the private room, only to see several men lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth, eyes rolling back, their bodies twitching slightly—it was clear they had been poisoned by food.

A middle-aged woman shouted, "Someone's died at the Wei Family Restaurant, you conscienceless, money-grubbing butchers! You're not human! Poor my big brother, my husband, my son! They just came here to have a meal, and you've poisoned them to death!"

Manager Wang was a bit flustered at this point, but he replied with composure, "Madam Huang, please don't get agitated. Our restaurant's food is definitely problem-free; it absolutely wouldn't cause food poisoning in our customers. We'll have to wait for the doctors and security personnel to determine the real reason behind this incident."

Ji Feng promptly bent down to examine the condition of the three, and the middle-aged woman immediately shouted, "Who are you? Don't touch my son's body! Get out! Get out! Get out!"

Someone nearby, upon recognizing Ji Feng, exclaimed in awe, "It's Ji Feng, Director Ji of Huadu University Medical School! With him here, these three poisoned people should have a chance of survival."

When the middle-aged woman heard it was Ji Feng, she immediately beamed with joy and with shining eyes, she said, "Director Ji! Director Ji, please, can you check and see if there's still hope for my son and them?"

"Please stay calm, big sister, let me examine them first before I come to any conclusions."

Ji Feng had initially thought the incident might have been staged by the people involved, as such underhanded tactics are used in business competition. However, seeing the genuineness and urgency in the middle-aged woman's tone and demeanor, he believed he might have been overthinking.

"Alright, alright, Director Ji, please go ahead and check," the middle-aged woman quickly made way.

Xu Hao's eyes flickered and he stayed quiet, feeling that things might not be as simple as they seemed. But without any evidence, it wasn't appropriate for him to speak out just yet, so he waited.
