Chapter 301: I Wanted to Get You
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Humans were easily swayed by considerations of gains and losses.
In fact, neither Tian Yuantu nor Wei Hai did regard w.a.n.g Yao as a friend; in other words, they were not pure enough to think so. They were businessmen. Hence, they had their eyes on profits. Instead, there was less of the “purity” in between friends. w.a.n.g Mingbao, who grew up with w.a.n.g Yao, did not have those thoughts. Actually, w.a.n.g Yao did not have any of those thoughts. On the other hand, as businessmen, they thought too hard about usefulness.
“You’re back.”
When he returned home in the afternoon, w.a.n.g Yao heard his parents say that w.a.n.g Chengchang, who was severely ill due to the problems with the Feng Shui of his ancestor’s grave, had come back from the hospital. His condition had magically improved. However, his entire body still had no strength. There was no therapeutic effect if he continued to stay in the hospital, though. Therefore, he returned home to nurse his health and reco.
“What illness is he suffering from?” w.a.n.g Yao was very curious about this matter.
Hearing that her son seem to be talking to himself, Zhang Xiuying asked, “What did you say?”
“Oh. Nothing, Mother,” w.a.n.g Yao smiled while waving his hands.
“This child!” Zhang Xiuying did not ask anything else.
At this time, w.a.n.g Chengchang, who was lying on the kang, felt that he had no strength at all. He felt laconic, and he even felt somewhat lightheaded. This feeling was as if he was in a fading dream and he could not completely wake up. This situation had lasted for more than a day. First, there was a sudden lack of willpower as he felt that it was better to die than live. Afterwards, he found that his strength had been completely sapped from him. The illness attacked rapidly. In the hospital in Haiqu City, the specialists could not find a suitable solution at all. After confirming that his life was not in danger, they allowed him to go through the discharge procedure. They only asked him to go back for re-examinations regularly and gave him some antibiotics. His family could not afford the high treatment costs incurred with hospitalization, so he really had no choice other than to come home.
However, lying on the kang was not a solution.
After discussing, his relatives went out to inquire the so-called folk prescriptions. His wife also went out to look for a fortune teller.
Since the Feng Shui master said that his illness was caused by the unfavorable location of the grave of the deceased; and after the relocation of the grave, his condition did improve, so it made sense to think that there was a way to be healed?
Sometimes, in order to cure an illness, no matter how ridiculous the methods were, the patients and his family members would give it a try.
The weather was still very hot the next day.
In the village, an old man in his eighties had pa.s.sed away.
He died because of the heat!
Life is very fragile!
When w.a.n.g Yao heard the news, he sighed with a heavy heart.
He thought of his grandparents right away. He notified his parents and drove to their mountain village, not far away.
The two elders were home. They fanned themselves while watching television. They looked well.
Upon seeing w.a.n.g Yao, the elders asked somewhat curiously, “Yao, why are you here?”
“Nothing much. I’m just here to check up on you guys. Grandpa, are you feeling better?”
“Yes, I’ve recovered. Why did you come on such a hot day?”
“I’ll have a look again.”
w.a.n.g Yao then gave the two elders a checkup. He was only relieved after confirming that their bodies had no major problems.
“It’s too hot outside. You need to be careful. If you’re not feeling well, take the pill that I gave you.”
“Okay,” the old man replied with a smile.
“Your medicine is quite useful,” w.a.n.g Yao’s grandfather said with a smile.
A few days ago, he was not feeling well again. Hence, he consumed just one of those pills. He could feel the effect surging through his body in no time at all. It was very useful.
“It’s good as long as it’s useful.”
After staying for a while, w.a.n.g Yao decided to just head back home.
After returning home, he let his parents know and prepared to go up Nanshan Hill. That was when his phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number.
“h.e.l.lo.”
“What?!” w.a.n.g Yao was startled. “You called the wrong number.”
After that, he hung up.
“I didn’t call the wrong number!” A young man on the other end of the phone was stunned. His facial expression became grave immediately. “He must’ve done it on purpose! Just wait!”
“Crazy!” w.a.n.g Yao mumbled to himself. He did not take this matter seriously and went up Nanshan Hill.
Li Shaoyang was very irritated. He had not been bullied this way since he was young.
He was inexplicably framed by someone. He was continuously hospitalized and he had suffered from extreme and humiliating kinds of pain. Furthermore, he could not approach women for at least three months, which was extremely unbearable for him.
What did it mean for a person who loved wine as his much as his life to not drink alcohol for three months?
What kind of a torture was it for a person who could not live without meat to not be able to eat meat for three months?
He had started dating when he was in junior high school and it got out of control. In the past few years, many girls were destroyed by his appearance in their lives. In addition, his family indeed had some power, so he had the support to act that way until one day, he kicked an iron board and injured himself.
He would not let go of this kind of matter easily. Then, after carefully inquiring, he was sure he figured out who was most likely to frame him. He then gave him a call. He had not even finished speaking, but the guy had already hung up.
“d.a.m.n. You think you’re in Haiqu City and I can’t punish you, right?” Li Shaoyang’s eyes were full of rage.
At this point, he thought that even if it was not w.a.n.g Yao, he had to teach him a lesson, just because of his att.i.tude. He had nowhere else to vent his anger.
Haiqu City?
He was pondering about where to even begin. After all, he only knew w.a.n.g Yao’s phone number and name for now.
…
“He can’t be cured.”
In the village, Pan Jun sat across w.a.n.g Yao. He had a worried look written all over his face.
His uncle found out that he was in the terminal stage of cancer. A few days ago, he had just gone to the hospital in Wei City for surgery. His body was extremely emaciated. The doctor said that he could only sustain his life, but the duration would be dependent on the patient’s own willpower. Without any reason, Pan Jun thought of w.a.n.g Yao, so he came over. Before coming, he still had a glimpse of hope.
What was cancer? It was a terminal disease.
This was not the first time that w.a.n.g Yao had met a cancer patient. In Jing City, He Qisheng had also once asked him to treat his mother. She was also suffering from this disease.
He could not be cured; at least, it was impossible with w.a.n.g Yao’s current ability.
Perhaps he could be healed in the future.
“Sorry to bother you.”
“It’s okay. You just have to think of ways to make the patient happier,” w.a.n.g Yao replied with a smile.
His words were frank, but a bit optimistic. Who had such a big heart that he could be happy and laugh, even when he was suffering from a terminal disease?
“Okay,” Pan Jun responded and left.
w.a.n.g Yao was thinking about this matter.
Cancer?
He had to face this disease sooner or later.
Could he think about some countermeasures and methods on how to cure it earlier? Perhaps he could meet a patient directly and give it a try?
Of course, these were just ideas that came to his mind.
…
“Miss, you’re back.”
In the airport in Jing City, He Qisheng came to pick up Guo Sirou who came back from abroad.
“How’s the matter about Dr. w.a.n.g?”
“There’s a bit of a problem.”
“This is a small matter. Who is getting in the way?” Guo Sirou frowned.
It was only a qualification certificate. For her family, how could a problem, which could be solved by just a phone call, been riddled with so many mistakes? Now, even the Su family had intervened. Was this a joke?
“You should ask the chief about this.”
“What is my father thinking again?”
Guo Sirou sighed. Since the pa.s.sing of her grandfather, she seldom went home. Her father was more and more obsessed with power with each pa.s.sing day.
“I don’t know.”
“I’ll go home first, then. Help me book a plane ticket to Haiqu City tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
…
The great heat had just pa.s.sed, but the weather was still so unusually hot that people could not stand it. The sun was already glaring early in the morning.
“It’s so hot!”
“Why did you come? Did the business that bring you into town not occupy you for long?”
w.a.n.g Yao poured w.a.n.g Mingbao a cup of tea.
“I actually have something to ask you.”
“Go ahead,” w.a.n.g Yao replied with a smile.
“Do you have any friends in Deng Province who can lend a helping hand?”
“Deng Province? What’s wrong?”
“My cousin got into trouble there and he was taken to the bureau. My uncle went and the matter isn’t easy to resolve,” w.a.n.g Mingbao explained.
“This…”
w.a.n.g Yao contemplated. He really did not know anyone in Deng Province though.
