25 Finished Drinking

Cang Liu frowned. "Is it that exaggerated? Why haven't I seen my brother in critical condition? Forget it, call them in. We might not have to care about Old Master Song, but we have to give face to the Minister of Health and the people from the research institute."

At the entrance of the Cang manor, Song Xuelan secretly heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the iron gate open. As expected, they had to invite the Minister of Health and the academicians of the Chinese Medicine Research Institute to enter the Cang manor.

The Minister of Health, Minister Xu, did not know much about Traditional Chinese Medicine, but the respected Old Master Song personally came to him and told him about the stakes. He also consulted the three academicians of the Chinese Medicine Research Institute and confirmed that there was something wrong with the prescription. That was why he had no choice but to visit late at night. After all, Cang Xu's identity was too special and noble. If anything happened to Cang Xu while he was recuperating in Country Z, it would definitely cause an international dispute.

Regarding Cang Xu's identity, the story had to start decades ago. Decades ago, government researchers of Country Z found a mermaid fossil and carried out a mermaid modification project. They wanted to extract the genes of the mermaid from the mermaid fossil and inject them into the fertilized human eggs to nurture mermaids that had long gone extinct. Countless human babies were sacrificed for this modification project.

In the end, it finally nurtured a groundbreaking and one-of-a-kind mermaid. A beautiful mermaid's tail would appear when she entered the water. After leaving the water, she could have beautiful legs that could walk upright like ordinary humans. This mermaid was named Xia Xi. From the moment she was born, she became the national treasure of Country Z.

However, Xia Xi contracted chronic myeloid leukemia when she was two years old. In order to save Xia Xi, Xia Xi's parents participated in the mermaid modification project again and gave birth to another mermaid. Sadly, this mermaid was very ugly and was despised by her parents. After she was born, her only mission was to provide Xia Xi with bone marrow. Later, Xia Xi was cured, and the ugly six-year-old mermaid was mercilessly abandoned by Xia Xi's parents and thrown into the sea.

This matter should have stopped here, but unexpectedly, more than ten years later, this ugly mermaid would return surprisingly as the queen of a country. Moreover, she was hundreds of times prettier than Xia Xi. The ugly duckling had simply transformed! The country she established was not a country on land, but a country that existed in the legends and in the book "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea": Atlantis.

The ugly mermaid, who had been heartlessly abandoned by Xia Xi's parents, had unintentionally lifted the mysterious veil of the Atlantean Empire and was regarded as the god of the sea by the residents under the sea and they were extremely respectful. No one in Country Z had expected that a failed mermaid created by scientific researchers would eventually become the queen of the country.

Moreover, the queen had married the richest man in Country Z, Cang Qingtian, and had two sons and a daughter. The eldest son was called Cang Xu, the second daughter was called Cang Yaorao, and the third son was called Cang Liu.

Cang Yaorao and Cang Liu had inherited their mother's mermaid genes and were regarded as national treasures by Country Z. Although Cang Xu had not inherited his mother's mermaid genes, he was indeed the famous crown prince of Atlantis. Not only did he have high status, but he was also highly respected globally. If he accidentally died while recuperating in Country Z, it would bring about international dispute and war! How could the Minister of Health, Mr. Xu, dare to be careless?

Seeing Cang Liu standing at the entrance of the villa to welcome him, Minister Xu hurriedly got out of the car and shook hands with him. "Third Young Master, I heard that a Chinese medicine practitioner surnamed Long came to the manor and prescribed medicine for Eldest Young Master for three days. Has Eldest Young Master taken the third dose of the medicine?"

Cang Liu replied, "Yes, he did."

"Oh no!" Minister Xu relayed what Old Master Song had told him to Cang Liu. "Third Young Master, Miss Long doesn't know Chinese medicine at all. You don't even know her medical skills. How could you let him drink the Chinese medicine she prescribed?"

Cang Liu replied, "How is it that she doesn't know Chinese medicine? I think her medical skills are quite good. Even the best doctors couldn't do anything about my nephew's fracture. In the end, Miss Long cured my nephew's leg immediately. On the other hand, some respected Chinese medicine masters, hehe… I don't know what to say about them."

Cang Liu led a group of people into the living room. He was too lazy to look at Old Master Song and Song Xuelan. Even when he was making tea, he only asked the butler to make tea for the Minister of Health and the three academicians of the Chinese Medicine Research Institute. Old Master Song and Song Xuelan did not have a share.
