“Brother Yao.”
“Mr. Guo.”
“Look at you. You still call me Mr. Guo,” Guo Zhenghe said.
“May I help you with anything?”
“Yes, there is something that you can help me with. I’d like to ask you to treat a patient,” Guo Zhenghe replied.
“What kind of a patient?”
“This is the patient’s information. You should check it out first. I’ll tell him if you agree to treat him. Otherwise, I’ll reject it for you,” Guo Zhenghe said as he handed over a file to w.a.n.g Yao.
“Sun Yunsheng?” With a glance, w.a.n.g Yao felt that the name was familiar. The name was even more familiar after looking at the case and diagnosis.
He had seen the patient before. He was suffering from a rare, extreme yang illness.
I didn’t expect him to still be alive now! It had already been a few months since w.a.n.g Yao last gave him a diagnosis. It was a miracle that he could still persist!
“What’s the matter?”
“I’ve seen this patient before in Dao City,” w.a.n.g Yao replied directly.
“That’s right. He does, indeed, have a house in Dao City,” Guo Zhenghe answered. “Since you’ve been asked before, why didn’t you treat him?”
“Haha. I was probably too young,” w.a.n.g Yao responded with a laugh.
At that time, it was true that Mr. Sun did not trust him. It was understandable. To look at it from another perspective, such a young Chinese medicine pract.i.tioner was surely not a.s.suring.
“Then, what about this matter?”
“Let me think about it.”
“Okay, I’m waiting for your call. You can look for me if you need anything.” Guo Zhenghe made a move to leave after staying at the small courtyard for a short time.
Guo Zhenghe left. w.a.n.g Yao entered the house, looking at the diagnostic information in his hands.
He knew very well about the illness. It was definitely a difficult-to-treat illness.
It had already been a few months since w.a.n.g Yao last diagnosed the patient. He was afraid that the patient’s condition would only get worse.
…
In a villa in Jing City.
There were a handsome young man and a middle-aged man dressed in a suit.
“Has he agreed, Mr. Guo?” the middle-aged man asked.
“Uncle Sun, don’t address me that way. Just call me by my name. You’re my elder!” Guo Zhenghe said very respectfully. “Why didn’t you listen to him when he was in Dao City last time?”
“At that time, I noticed that he was young and I misjudged him,” Sun Zhengrong replied.
He regretted a lot at that moment. During Guo Lao’s memorial service, he was very curious to see w.a.n.g Yao unintentionally. w.a.n.g Yao had relatives with the Guo family. He then inquired carefully and found out that the young man was actually someone with extraordinary pharmaceutical technology whom the Guo family had to treat with due respect. It was all thanks to him that Guo Lao was able to survive last time.
That was when he realized he had belittled w.a.n.g Yao. He also realized what the master once said was secretly referring to w.a.n.g Yao. Hence, he thought of an idea to meet the Guo family and get them to introduce him to w.a.n.g Yao. Then, he found Mr. Guo.
“I’ve given him Yunsheng’s case. He’ll give me a call if he’s willing to diagnose. If he doesn’t want to, I’ll think of some other ways. You have to know that he is currently the guest of the Su family,” Guo Zhenghe said.
“Thank you, Mr. …”
“Eh?”
“Zhenghe.”
“That’s right. I’ve told Lao Li about this. He’ll spare some time and make a trip to Dao City.”
“Thank you.”
…
In the Su family’s house.
In the s.p.a.cious and airy room, Song Ruiping carefully patted her daughter’s thin arms.
She had been ill in bed for a long time. Even if a divine Chinese Traditional Medical Pract.i.tioner had been invited to stimulate her body with a unique method, the shrinking of her muscles and the deterioration of her body functions could not be prevented. In the past, Song Ruiping did not dare touch her because her skin was festered. She could gently touch her daughter now that new skin had grown on her arms and legs. She had also asked Chen Lao before. She could gently pat, tap, and utilize the external stimulation to restore blood circulation and the normal function of the muscles.
Of course, the effect was actually very minimal.
“Xiaoxue, how do you feel?”
“I’m much better than last time.”
It was a huge improvement that she was able to speak. When Song Ruiping personally heard her daughter call her “Mother” again after more than a year, hot tears welled up in her eyes. She felt that her efforts over the past few years were worthwhile.
They really had to thank Dr. w.a.n.g properly. The Su family owed him a big favor.
w.a.n.g Yao had already told Chen Boyuan about the cost of the medicine.
Whether it was the Muscle Revitalization powder or the Blood Deblocking powder, they were formulas provided by the system and were sold at a fixed price. Furthermore, the Su family could afford it. Even if they had to pay the consultation fee and the medical expenses, they still felt that they still owed w.a.n.g Yao a huge favor.
“Doesn’t he have any other request?”
It was not that w.a.n.g Yao had no desires. He just did not have one at the moment.
…
That afternoon, Zhang Xiufang did not go to work. She tried to meet the boy who was in a relations.h.i.+p with her daughter.
He was medium-sized, thin, and had regular features.
Zhang Xiufang was actually a housewife who was not good at talking. Regarding such a matter, she really did not know what to say, but she knew she had to say what must be said.
“You and Li Na are still young, and you’re both attending school now. You should focus on your studies.”
…
After half an hour, both of them parted on bad terms.
The boy did not listen to any of Zhang Xiuying’s earnest and sincere advice. He looked pretty honest, but he spoke quite bluntly. He retorted back at Zhang Xiufang with a few words.
“Aunty, we aren’t young anymore. We can decide some things by ourselves.”
He said that they were not young anymore. They have not even graduated from high school and have not been exposed to the real society. How could you even make your own decision?!
The more Zhang Xiufang thought about it, the angrier she was. She began to understand that in most cases of puppy love, the girl would be the one at a disadvantage.
I have to make Li Na transfer to another school. She finally made a decision and called w.a.n.g Yao.
“Alright, Aunty. I got it.” w.a.n.g Yao’s response was very calm.
He could hear a faint anger in his second aunt’s tone. Obviously, her conversation with the boy was not pleasant.
He hung up the phone and lifted his head to look at Chen Ying who was busy in the kitchen.
“Help me set up a meeting with the boy as soon as possible.”
“Okay,” Chen Ying replied.
“Oh right, what’s his name?”
“Zhang Fei.”
“What? The valiant general?” w.a.n.g Yao was startled.
“No. It’s another ‘Fei."”
“Okay.”
At night, the view of Jing City was magnificent.
w.a.n.g Yao, Chen Ying, and Zhang Fei, who looked pretty honest, were inside a fancy restaurant.
w.a.n.g Yao stared at the boy in front of him. His gaze was very calm, but Zhang Fei, who sat opposite him, felt uncomfortable.
This was the first time that he had come to a restaurant of this caliber.
His breath was unstable and the look in his eyes was uncertain. His footsteps were also light.
He had the look of indulging excessively in s.e.xual activity at a very young age.
This was not a good thing!
The exquisite Huaiyang dishes were served.
“Let’s eat first.” w.a.n.g Yao first picked up his chopsticks.
Zhang Fei was very reserved and uncomfortable.
While they were eating, w.a.n.g Yao looked at the boy opposite him from time to time. Soon, Zhang Fei’s body became sweaty. There was sweat on his forehead as well.
It was not only him; Chen Ying, who was to the side, also felt that w.a.n.g Yao suddenly had a mighty aura.
“From today onwards, stay away from Li Na. You’re not allowed to contact her again.” w.a.n.g Yao’s words were very calm but in a firm manner.
When w.a.n.g Yao said that, Zhang Fei’s hand which held the chopsticks trembled. The chopsticks almost dropped.
“Why? I really like Nana,” Zhang Fei said while looking up at w.a.n.g Yao.
“Haha.” w.a.n.g Yao laughed. “What’s the matter about He Wenmei?”
Before meeting him, w.a.n.g Yao asked Chen Ying to carefully investigate the boy now sitting in front of him. He would not know about it if he had not checked. Once he had checked, he freaked out.
The boy who looked somewhat shy had started to date in junior high school. He was even more terrible in high school. He did not have a spare moment since 10th grade. Now, he was even dating two girls at the same time. One was Li Na, and the other was a girl called He Wenmei. If it was not investigated beforehand, he might have really been fooled by the boy.
The boy looked pretty honest. The youngsters these days were so impressive. Was each of them a skilled actor?
w.a.n.g Yao remembered that he absolutely could not tell a lie this slyly at this age.
After hearing what w.a.n.g Yao said, the look on Zhang Fei’s face changed abruptly.
“You investigated me.” For a split moment, he actually looked somewhat sinister.
It was amazing how fast his facial expression changed.
“I checked into you, and the content was very rich!” w.a.n.g Yao said calmly.
The boy in front of him looked shy on the outside, as if he was very honest. It was a different situation in his heart. If this continued, he would definitely become a calculating and sly person who might harm many people.
