Chapter 240 The Gu Family Goes Bankrupt
Those veteran Chinese medicine doctors didn't have the same level of freedom they have now, even when they were in other hospitals.
The boss doesn't want them to prescribe more medicine, nor does he want to make more money off ordinary people.
Every ordinary person who goes to Wu Tao's clinic for treatment goes back and speaks highly of how good Wu Tao's clinic is.
Not only is treatment here less expensive, but the key is that the traditional Chinese medicine doctors here are all highly skilled.
Even some stubborn illnesses can receive timely treatment when they come to Wu Tao's clinic.
In no time, Wu Tao's clinic became a highly praised clinic in the southern part of the city.
Ordinary people aren't stupid; they know exactly what it's like to see a doctor at other hospitals and what it's like here—it goes without saying.
When you get sick, each check-up at a big hospital costs thousands of yuan, but here you can get a diagnosis with just a registration fee.
The key is that it costs very little money; a few tens or hundreds of yuan can cure a disease that has plagued me for many years.
With such positive results, word spread among the people, and naturally everyone knew how good this place was.
Every day before dawn, Wu Tao's clinic is packed with people queuing up outside. The thirty traditional Chinese medicine doctors are always extremely busy.
It's quite remarkable that these veteran traditional Chinese medicine doctors are seeing such a long queue of patients here.
As a doctor, one naturally hopes to bring good news to more people. At Wu Tao's clinic, they don't need to consider profits; instead, they try every means to save money for the people.
Every veteran traditional Chinese medicine doctor harbors a desire to benefit the public, a desire they couldn't fulfill before, but can fully realize here.
If the clinic didn't only have so many consultation rooms, Wu Tao would probably have had to recruit even more doctors.
Wu Tao certainly wouldn't continue to expand the clinic; his schedule is already quite full.
We have over thirty regular clients, plus occasional unexpected patients coming to the clinic every day. Sometimes, we even get called to the clinic on Sundays.
This is still traditional Chinese medicine. Patients with sudden illnesses will choose large hospitals first. Otherwise, Wu Tao would really be spinning like a top.
Since Huang Li went shopping with Liu Yun and the others last time, she's been acting rather suspiciously these past few days. When Wu Tao asked Huang Li about it, she flatly denied it.
Wu Tao didn't want to press her for answers; it's hard to understand a woman's thought process. Despite having lived many lifetimes, Wu Tao still couldn't grasp women's thinking.
While Wu Tao was busy, the Gu family had already gone bankrupt.
It was Huang Li who told Wu Tao the news of the Gu family's bankruptcy.
Aside from feeling a little wistful, Wu Tao wasn't particularly concerned. After all, he wasn't familiar with the Gu family, and Gu Qinghan had long since become a stranger in his mind.
It wasn't until the other person appeared at Wu Tao's clinic looking haggard that Wu Tao, if not for his sharp eyesight, would have been able to tell that the other person was actually Gu Qinghan.
The girl who used to be so elegantly dressed, always adorned with jewels and incredibly proud, is now no different from any ordinary woman.
Upon seeing Wu Tao, Gu Qinghan immediately knelt on the ground, grabbed Wu Tao's trouser leg, and began to beg for mercy.
"Wu Tao, I beg you, my father has been arrested, our family is now bankrupt, and my mother has been hospitalized because of the anger. Wu Tao, I can't find anyone to help me now. Please, for the sake of our previous marriage agreement, help my family."
Gu Qinghan cried her heart out, but Wu Tao was somewhat annoyed.
He didn't think he had any connection with the Gu family. Even the marriage agreement was only made by Wu Chengzhi and Gu Chunsheng for the sake of their respective businesses.
Now that Wu Tao barely contacts even the Wu family anymore, why would he get involved in Gu Qinghan's messy affairs for her sake?
"Miss Gu, I think you may have come to the wrong person. I don't seem to have any connection with you. Besides, your father's arrest must be because he did something wrong. Even if you beg me, there's nothing I can do. Well, I think you should try to find a solution elsewhere, Miss Gu."
"No, Wu Tao, I've heard that you're a guest of honor for many important people. If you want to help me, you definitely have a way."
Gu Qinghan completely ignored Wu Tao's indifference. All her former friends were now avoiding her, and after much thought, she decided to beg Wu Tao for help.
Although Gu Qinghan no longer holds much status in the industry, she can still gather information.
Knowing Wu Tao's current reputation in high society, if he were willing to help, there would definitely be hope for his father to get out.
Gu Qinghan's plan was sound. If Wu Tao was truly willing to help, not only would releasing the person be easy, but the Gu family could also return to its former state without much difficulty.
The key question is why Wu Tao wanted to help, given how much harm Gu Qinghan's actions had caused to the original owner of this body.
Wu Tao was able to refrain from taking action himself only because he had long anticipated the fate of the Gu family.
The greatest punishment would be to kill Gu Qinghan outright and let her continue living a miserable life.
As for offering help, that's definitely not going to happen.
Gu Qinghan was eventually dragged out of the clinic by security guards, and she never had the chance to enter the clinic again.
Wu Tao turned around and went to see the patient. Such a piece of trash deserves to suffer the consequences of her actions.
Gu Qinghan was thrown outside by the security guards, but she was still somewhat unwilling to give up.
At noon, Wu Tao got into a car to go home for lunch. Gu Qinghan tried to stop the car, but was stopped by the bodyguard.
Even though Wu Tao possesses the skills of a top special forces soldier, he would never put his own safety in danger.
As soon as he became wealthy, he arranged for over a dozen bodyguards. They always went out in three cars, making it impossible for anyone to directly locate Wu Tao, even if they tried to scheme against him.
Although he has a personal space that allows him to instantly hide in and save his life even in the event of an explosion, Wu Tao does not want to reveal this secret.
As long as this secret remains unrevealed, he will always possess his biggest trump card. If he is ever betrayed, the other party should be wary of his relentless revenge.
Wu Tao never underestimates the terror of the enemy. He has already prepared a small armory in his personal space, including various escape equipment.
In addition to his special forces skills, Wu Tao has no weaknesses whether facing individual or group attacks.
Of course, all of this is a secret; the outside world only knows that he is a young man with extraordinary medical skills.
Wu Tao knew that this world wouldn't be like the cultivation world where one could live for ten thousand years, so he wanted to live comfortably until he died of old age at the age of one hundred.
This has become standard practice for Wu Tao after he travels through time; he does this every time he travels to a new world, unless there are no other options.
Otherwise, his first priority would be to recover his health, and then prepare various supplies to deal with any risks at any time.
Of course, even if he is now well-prepared to launch a small-scale war, Wu Tao will still not let anyone know his trump card.
This way, the enemy will make a misjudgment when they plot against him. They will think he is on the third floor, but they will not know that Wu Tao is on the eighth floor.
No one dislikes having too many cards up their sleeve. As a seasoned schemer, Wu Tao hopes his cards will be layered like Russian nesting dolls.
He particularly enjoyed seeing the desperate look in the eyes of his enemies after they discovered his trump card.
