It was only then that Li Yifu understood Xia Ruofei's true intentions.
He also felt ashamed, because the first thing that came to his mind was that Xia Ruofei wanted to use Elon Musk's child to threaten the other party. It seemed that he was the one with the dark side!
Chen Xuan and the others hadn't participated in the discussion. After hearing Xia Ruofei's words, Chen Xuan couldn't help but say, "Brother Xia, isn't this too troublesome? After all, we don't know what's going on with that child! "
Yu Xin 'er also agreed. She said, "I think what Sect Leader Chen said makes sense. Moreover, if a super rich man like Musk can't cure his child, I'm afraid we can't … "
Xia Ruofei, Song Wei, and Ling Qingxue looked at each other and smiled.
Then, Xia Ruofei said, "Brother Chen, Miss Xin 'er, I'm still a little confident in my medical skills! No matter what the problem is with Elon Musk's new son, I should be able to cure it. As for the fact that a super rich man like him can't do anything, isn't that good? It means that this health problem is very serious, and even money can't solve it! If we can help him solve this problem, then this favor will be even greater! "
Ling Qingxue also chimed in, "That makes sense! Money isn't everything! Boss Qiao is so rich, so if he needs to die, he'll still die. The more serious Musk's child's condition is, the better! "
At this point, Ling Qingxue also felt that her words seemed to be a little inappropriate, so she quickly explained, "I … I mean, this child's condition is already like this. If Musk's money can't save his child's life, then Ruofei's kindness will be even more precious, right?"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "That's more or less what I mean. Brother Chen, Miss Xin 'er, if we directly use the methods of cultivators, we can indeed force Musk to produce spacesuits for us. However, using such a method to deal with ordinary people wouldn't reveal his face, right? What's more, now that something like this has happened to his family, it seems a little unreasonable for us to use coercion on him. "
Cultivators were also humans, and it was inevitable for them to have emotions and desires. This was especially true for female cultivators like Yu Xin 'er. She had grown up in the secular world and received the traditional education of the secular world. She only entered Soaring Flower Valley to cultivate after she became an adult, so she resonated with Xia Ruofei's words even more.
She nodded in agreement and said, "If his child is really dangerous, it's not appropriate for us to deal with him now …"
Chen Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "I don't insist on using tough means to deal with this person. It's just that I don't know how good Brother Xia's medical skills are. Since Brother Xia is so confident, it's better to use a softer method. I have no objections."
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Yes! I believe that a conciliatory approach is always better than a coercive approach. Since Musk is willing to cooperate with us, we can feel more at ease. After all, we're the ones using the spacesuits. If something is really done to them during the production process, we'll be the ones at a disadvantage. "
Chen Xuan nodded and said, "Agreed! Then let's use Brother Xia's method and try it out! "
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Yifu, hurry up and get someone to find out what's going on with Musk's son."
In fact, no matter what illness Musk's son had, Xia Ruofei was confident that he could treat it with his traditional Chinese medicine methods and the petals of the Spirit Heart Flower. However, before you go to someone's door to help, you have to find out what illness they have, right? If you say that you can cure your child's illness without knowing anything, it would be strange if you don't get beaten up!
Li Yifu nodded and said, "Yes! Martial Granduncle, I'll find a few more detective agencies and try to get the exact information as soon as possible! "
"Yes!" Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "It seems that we haven't even warmed up from sitting here and we have to move to Los Angeles again!"
"Martial Granduncle, I'll arrange a plane …" Li Yifu said quickly.
Xia Ruofei waved his hand and said, "No need, we'll just take the flying boat there!"
"Yes! Martial Granduncle, I'll make some arrangements first … "Li Yifu said.
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "There's no need to rush this little bit of time …"
Then, Xia Ruofei looked at the time and said, "It takes time to gather information. It's already evening. Why don't we just stay here for the night and leave tomorrow morning? Everyone, rest well in your rooms! Just treat it as recharging your energy! Of course, if you want to go out for a walk, it's fine. After all, this is the territory of the United States, we won't come here often … "
Chen Xuan smiled and stood up and said, "Then we'll go back to our rooms first! Old man, I'll have to trouble you here! "
Chen Xuan was talking to Li Yifu. After all, Li Yifu was an old man. Facing an old man with white hair and beard, Chen Xuan didn't feel right to call him by his name. However, Li Yifu's cultivation and seniority were very low. Chen Xuan couldn't call him "senior," so he could only use a more neutral term – old man.
Li Yifu quickly said, "Young Master Chen, you're too serious. It's my duty to serve Martial Granduncle. I wouldn't dare to say that it's hard! Please go back to your rooms and rest. I've already arranged a banquet. I'll have to invite everyone to come later! "
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "We have to come! When we arrive in the United States, Yifu is the host. We're all here to eat from the rich! Brother Chen, Miss Xin 'er, go back to your rooms and rest for a while. I'll call you when it's time to eat! "
"Then, I'll accept your invitation!" Yu Xin 'er said with a smile.
Chen Xuan and Yu Xin 'er went back to their rooms. Li Yifu also got up and left to arrange the trip to Los Angeles. He wanted to contact more private detectives to inquire about Musk's family.
In the evening, Li Yifu hosted a banquet to entertain Xia Ruofei and the others.
Because the things they had to do in the United States hadn't been done yet, everyone naturally wasn't in the mood to drink. After dinner, they went back to their rooms to rest.
The next morning, Li Yifu took everyone to the hotel's buffet restaurant for breakfast. Then, everyone prepared to go directly to Los Angeles.
Naturally, Li Yifu didn't need to personally deal with things like checking out. After breakfast, they went directly to a relatively secluded place. After Xia Ruofei released the Obsidian Flying Ship, everyone quickly jumped on the flying ship.
Xia Ruofei controlled the flying ship to ascend and asked, "Yifu, did you find out any specific information?"
Li Yifu looked ashamed and said, "No one has replied to me yet."
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Maybe the time is too short. Let's go to Los Angeles first!"
From San Francisco to Los Angeles, an ordinary civil aircraft took about one and a half hours. Using the Obsidian Flying Ship, it was even faster. In twenty minutes, everyone had already arrived in Los Angeles.
Xia Ruofei followed Li Yifu's guidance and found a relatively secluded place near the famous Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles to slowly land the flying ship.
After everyone jumped off the flying ship, Xia Ruofei quickly put away the Obsidian Flying Ship.
Not far ahead was the Beverly Hills Hotel. Li Yifu had already booked a room here in advance.
The people arranged by Li Yifu had already made arrangements. The room was also booked in the name of someone else, so they didn't need to check in at the hotel. They directly got the room card from the staff of Li Yifu's company and went straight to the room.
This was the most famous five-star hotel in Los Angeles. It also had a long history.
Although the hotel was old, the facilities were still very advanced. In recent years, it had been upgraded many times and maintained a fairly high standard.
Xia Ruofei and the others first came to one of the luxury suites together, and then Li Yifu began to make phone calls to understand the situation.
Xia Ruofei took out a tea set and Taoyuan Da Hong Pao from the Ring-Tu space and sat around with everyone to make tea and chat. In a hotel in the United States, it was definitely impossible to find any good tea leaves. There would also be no kung fu tea sets unless they specifically requested from the hotel.
Even the water used to make the tea was the Spirit Pond water that Xia Ruofei took out from the Ring-Tu space.
The Spirit Pond water was filled with a five-liter kettle.
Many people were very particular about the quality of the tea, so it wasn't strange that Xia Ruofei stored some tea water in his storage magic treasure. Everyone didn't care. Instead, they were all full of praise for the taste of Taoyuan Da Hong Pao.
After a while, Li Yifu came over and said, "Martial Granduncle, it's basically clear. Musk's child was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma yesterday. This kind of tumor is relatively malignant, and the prognosis is not very good."
"Rhabdomyosarcoma?" Xia Ruofei said as he took out his mobile phone to search. "Is this disease very troublesome? Even someone as rich as Musk can't cure it? "
Chen Xuan and Yu Xin 'er couldn't help but exchange a look. Yesterday, Xia Ruofei confidently said that there was no problem with his medical skills. Why did it seem like he hadn't even heard of the name of this disease today? Why did he have to search for information on the spot? Did he really rely on Baidu to see a doctor? Was this guy reliable or not?
Xia Ruofei happened to look up at that moment and saw Chen Xuan and Yu Xin 'er's strange looks.
He immediately guessed what they were thinking. He couldn't help but smile and say, "Brother Chen, Miss Xin 'er, my medical skills are mainly in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. This rhabdomyosarcoma is what Western medicine calls it. I have to check the situation first …"
In fact, although Xia Ruofei's medical skills had reached a very high level, when he treated some malignant diseases or difficult diseases, he used more simple and crude methods. He used the petals of the spirit heart flower directly, and it was tried and tested time and time again.
However, this was not something outsiders could tell.
Chen Xuan and Yu Xin 'er nodded skeptically.
No matter how good Xia Ruofei's medical skills were, there was no harm in trying. If this method really didn't work, they had other means to force Musk to submit.
Xia Ruofei quickly checked the situation of the rhabdomyosarcoma and found that it was a malignant tumor that mainly appeared in children. According to Western medicine, it was usually treated with surgery, combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
Xia Ruofei quickly browsed through the relevant information and said, "This disease is quite serious, but it seems that the cure rate is not bad. Musk is so rich, so the child shouldn't lose his life, but he will definitely suffer a lot. "
Li Yifu said, "Grandmaster, according to the information we have, this child's rhabdomyosarcoma is a relatively malignant type. This sarcoma grew on his arm. When he was born, we thought it was a red birthmark. We didn't expect it to be such a serious disease. I heard that the disease has now affected the kidneys and some other important organs. Also, under normal circumstances, the survival rate of this type of rhabdomyosarcoma is less than one-third, so it's still quite dangerous. "
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "I understand! That means he should be able to keep his life for the time being, but the probability of recurrence is very high. "
"Yes!" Li Yifu nodded and said.
"Yifu, contact Musk!" Xia Ruofei said, "Be sure to get him to agree to meet with us!"
"Yes! Grandmaster! "Li Yifu replied.
Los Angeles, Bel Air.
In a somewhat retro Spanish-style mansion, Elon Musk was having a meeting with his personal doctor and several pediatric oncologists.
Next to Elon Musk, his girlfriend, Grimes, looked haggard. Elon Musk himself was frowning.
He said somewhat impatiently, "So, the only solution now is surgery? But Little X is so young. Can he withstand this kind of surgery? "
Elon Musk had named his newborn son Little X, a very unique name. It was said that it was not only because his company was called SpaceX, but also because of that, but it seemed to have more meaning.
Elon Musk's personal doctor, Manuel, exchanged glances with several experts, then nodded cautiously and said, "Mr. Musk, in order to prevent the condition from deteriorating further, we suggest that the surgery be performed as soon as possible. Of course, because the patient is too young, some risks in the surgery process are inevitable, but we can do sufficient preoperative preparations through scientific means to reduce the risk of the surgery as much as possible. "
Elon Musk asked directly, "Dr. Manuel, tell me, what is the success rate of the surgery?"
Manuel hesitated for a moment, then he said, "In terms of the surgery itself, the success rate should be more than 80%. What we need to pay attention to is the post-operative infection, as well as the problems of the immune system caused by the follow-up radiation and chemotherapy. Of course, the most important thing is the probability of recurrence … From a macroscopic point of view, the combination of these factors is the standard to measure the success of the surgery."
Elon Musk asked, "Then, according to this standard, what is the probability of the surgery being successful?"
"About 30%," Manuel said. "If we can avoid post-operative infection and successfully complete comprehensive treatment such as radiation and chemotherapy, the survival rate should increase to 40% to 50% …"
