The bet was that if Mr. Hu won, Mr. Jiang must work with them to unite all the pract.i.tioners of traditional Chinese medicine to escort Ding Ning for reviving traditional Chinese medicine.
If Mr. Hu lost, he would give Mr. Jiang his ancestral bronze acupuncture statue, which he regarded as priceless.
Mr. Hu in the south and Mr. Jiang in the north. The bet between the well-known leading scholars of the traditional Chinese medicine community immediately attracted the attention of Minister Jiang, who came to Ninghai for inspection.
Minister Jiang wanted to see how incredible the medical genius, whom Mr. Hu strongly praised, was, while Mr. Hu exceedingly welcomed Minister Jiang"s attention, so they all came here today.
Among all people present, Mo Fei might be the only one who knew that Ding Ning could definitely cure these two patients. On hearing the conversation between Mr. Hu and Mr. Jiang, he said with a soft smile, "Mr. Hu, make the bet with him. I trust Ding Ning."
Mr. Hu and others looked at him with amazement. Because of the special nature of Mo Fei"s work, his ident.i.ty was confidential. Everyone considered him one of the retinue of Minister Jiang.
But how could one of the retinue be so impolite? He stirred up the dispute between them even before the leader talked, which made everyone look displeased.
Although Mr. Hu trusted in Ding Ning"s medical skills, before the two comatose patients were added into the a.s.sessment, everyone present had checked them and could do nothing to help them. It made Mr. Hu have no confidence in whether Ding Ning could cure the two patients.
"I don"t care whether you trust him or not. If you can offer something that can interest me as the bet, I will make the bet with you."
Mr. Jiang was eccentric. During the period of working for the leaders in the national health care team, he even dared to argue with the top Chief when he got angry. On hearing Mo Fei"s words, he talked back to Mo Fei with a sting in his words.
Mo Fei didn"t take it seriously and said with a chuckle, "Well, I will make a bet with Mr. Jiang. If I lose, I"ll give Mr. Jiang a set of flint needles made of Sibin top stone needle. What do you think of it?"
"Are you serious?" As Mr. Jiang heard that, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Of course, a word from a man of honor cannot be withdrawn." As the director of the National Security Bureau, although Mo Fei knew nothing about medical skills, he really had a set of top flint needles. He had been waiting for the highest bid and thought that he could offer it to a highly skilled doctor for treating him when he got seriously sick.
Stone needle took effect in some treatment and health care through the wave bands of microcrystalline, infrared ray and pulsed. Pulses became wave-shaped through the induction of heat caused by Friction. Stone needle was not simply used as a simple sc.r.a.ping tool.
It was considered in traditional Chinese medicine that the top stone needle had the effects of calming the nerves, recuperating the vitality and dredging the meridians. The ancients treated the pain and diseases with stone needle before they invented the ironmaking technique. In ancient times, there were medical tools such as flint needles, flint knives and so on.
It was detected by modern medical means that Sibin stone needle could emit many far-infrared rays and ultrasonic pulses which were beneficial to the human body and thus to promote microcirculation and regulate metabolism. It was equivalent to a far-infrared therapeutic apparatus plus an ultrasonic therapeutic apparatus.
It was easy to get flint needles, but extremely difficult to get top flint needles. Thus, it was extremely tempting to all pract.i.tioners of traditional Chinese medicine. Mr. Jiang was no exception, and even others looked jealously at him with a sparkle in their eyes.
Although Mr. Jiang was extremely tempted, he had not been dizzy with greed, "What should I offer if I lose?"
"If you lose, you don"t need to offer anything else. You just need to do your best to implement the bet with Mr. Hu."
Mo Fei said with a smile. He knew that he wouldn"t lose. If he could take this opportunity to befriend Mr. Hu without displeasing Mr. Jiang, why wouldn"t he do that?
After all, anyone in his family could be sick. It was an incomparable bargain to make the leading scholars of the traditional Chinese medicine community owe him a favor.
The most important thing was that he wanted to make use of this opportunity to help Ding Ning. After all, he was the chief physician of the Chief"s daughter Shen Muqing. Ding Ning had such incredible medical skills, so he tremendously expected to see how far Ding Ning could go in the future.
"Okay, I"ll make the bet!"
On hearing that he didn"t need to offer anything else as the bet, Mr. Jiang immediately agreed.
In fact, Ding Ning"s medical skills had conquered him. At least he was incapable of curing the vegetative patient. He deliberately said that he might not make every effort, but he just said that out of habit. He hated to see Mr. Hu"s complacent face, so he talked back to him on purpose.
Mr. Hu glanced at Mo Fei with some surprise and grat.i.tude. For him, anyone who was willing to help Ding Ning was his friend.
He took the initiative to hand out a business card, "Just contact me when you need my help."
"Thank you, Mr. Hu."
Mo Fei respectfully took the business card with both hands and carefully placed it in his business card holder.
"This is my business card. Just tell me if there is anything that Mr. Hu is unable to help you with."
Mr. Jiang squinted at Mr. Hu, while recklessly handing his business card. He deliberately embarra.s.sed Mr. Hu, making Mo Fei smile bitterly but still politely take it.
Although there were not many situations where he would ask Mr. Jiang for help, he had better be prepared in case of accidents.
Mr. Hu smiled faintly and did not take it seriously. He had long got used to being opposed to Mr. Jiang. After all, Mr. Hu put up with Mr. Jiang as much as he could, because he felt guilty.
There was a long history between them. When Mr. Hu was young, he almost became Mr. Jiang"s relative by marriage.
Mr. Jiang"s younger sister, Jiang Kaili, was deeply in love with Mr. Hu. Unfortunately, Mr. Hu was in love with someone else. He only treated her as his sister and married the woman he loved.
Jiang Kaili, who was sad and disappointed, married into a foreign country. She had never returned to China, and eventually died and was buried there.
Mr. Jiang and his young sister had relied on each other since their childhood, and he blamed Mr. Hu for all this. He was extremely displeased with Mr. Hu. They competed in medical skills and argued with each other as soon as they met.
After decades of compet.i.tion and argument, as Mr. Jiang grew older, he understood that forced love did not last, and they would not be happy if Mr. Hu married his sister reluctantly.
Although he had already got over it, his habit formed during decades made him feel uncomfortable if he didn"t argue with Mr. Hu when they met. It had almost become his special hobby.
Minister Jiang stared at the big screen, wondering if this young medical genius could create a miracle again. As the deputy minister of the Ministry of Health, he was well aware that the country was vigorously supporting the recovery of traditional culture and thus to promote the cultural deposit of China.
Traditional Chinese medicine was one of the most important links. If he did a good job, the old minister was about to retire and it would be promising for him to be promoted and get the position he had longed for.
This was one of the reasons why as the deputy minister of the Ministry of Health, he was willing to come to watch the a.s.sessment of a little-known young man.
Of course, the most important reason was to be on good terms with these medical experts. After all, the Traditional Chinese Medicine a.s.sociation led by the country was going to be established, and his visit could be considered advanced research.
Ding Ning"s performance made him both shocked and ecstatic. Ding Ning could even cure the vegetative patient. His incredible medical skills were simply the best example of the recovery of traditional medicine.
He should make a good plan to establish this young man as the representative figure of the recovery of traditional Chinese medicine and then promote the recovery of traditional culture across the country with this breakthrough. He could make a better resume for his promotion.
Compared with his joy, Du Zewen sitting next to him was even more excited. As the mayor of Ninghai, he had paid attention to the previous event of a miracle-working doctor.
Although he considered Ding Ning very remarkable, Ding Ning had not caused his enough attention. However, this alternative a.s.sessment made him realize that Ding Ning was really an incredible doctor.
The political task of promoting the recovery of traditional medicine was important, but it was still less important than awakening his wife, who became a vegetative patient because of a car accident.
He loved his wife and they had helped each other in humble circ.u.mstances for many years. Besides, the powerful support behind her family was an indispensable part of his official career.
As an ugly duckling man who came from a poor village, he was able to hold the current position. It was related to his unique strategic vision and extraordinary resolution, but the greatest support was from his unconscious wife lying on the sickbed. The connections and power that her family could provide were extremely horrifying.
However, as his wife remained unconscious, her family seemingly still treated him with enthusiasm but obviously had alienated him, which made his hope of getting a promotion decline.
He did not bear a grudge against them for this. He could fully understand if he considered the problem from the perspective of his wife"s family.
After all, after it became hopeless for their daughter to regain consciousness, their son-in-law would become an outsider sooner or later. They would lose more than gain if they wasted numerous resources on him to help him get the promotion.
Without the bond of relation by marriage, who dared to say that their son-in-law would strike out a new path and turn to their political enemies or not? When the time came, they would try to weep but fail to shed a tear
It made Du Zewen trapped in an extremely embarra.s.sing situation at present. He had been labeled as a member of his wife"s family, but he didn"t get any support from them and had to face the attack of their political opponents.
He was an incorrupt official with a tough approach and real capability and had never been engaged in illegitimate business, leaving his political enemies no chance to attack him. Otherwise, after losing the support behind him, he might have been unable to hold his position.
It was simply a lost game with no solution. He could only linger on in the steadily worsening condition and struggle desperately with no capability of making a breakthrough. He could only wait helplessly until the leadership transition, hold a position with no practical duty in an inst.i.tution with meager funds and material benefits and completely ended his political career.
But at this moment, he saw a trace of slim hope from Ding Ning. As long as Ding Ning could awaken his wife, everything was no longer a problem, and all problems would be solved.
Ding Ning, who had been entangled for a long while, finally gnashed his teeth and decided to cure them. If it was a blessing, it wasn"t a catastrophe. If it was a catastrophe, he was unable to avoid it. If he died, he would lie supine. Otherwise he could live for tens of thousands of years!
The two kidnappers fell into a coma because he cut off several main meridians of them with his True Qi. As soon as he connected the broken meridians, they would soon wake up.
However, the two kidnappers had been in a coma for too long. Even if they woke up, their vitality would be greatly undermined, they would be weak with sickness and unable to engage in hard physical work, and even their life expectancy would be affected.
Although he could consume a lot of True Qi to make them recover, he was not so kind-hearted to consume his True Qi for two kidnappers.
Anyway, those special departments just wanted to get their confessions. He believed that they would be very satisfied with this result.
Indeed, as Ding Ning expected, with Monkey in their hands, Mo Fei actually didn"t care about these two people"s lives. Today he just suddenly had the thought of warning Ding Ning.
He was really reckless to hijack the military aircraft.
The National Security Bureau wanted to thank him because he had saved Monkey. However, he actually threatened the National Security Bureau and intended to avoid getting himself killed by making these two kidnappers unconscious. This was simply an undisguised provocation. Mo Fei couldn"t tolerate it and must take the opportunity to warn him.
Thus, watching Ding Ning"s complicated expression, Mo Fei secretly felt complacent, "Brat, since you dare to provoke me, if I don"t teach you a lesson, you will be so c.o.c.ky that your tail will stick high up in the air."
This was the reason why Mo Fei knew that he couldn"t do anything to Ding Ning, but still didn"t ask him to save the two kidnappers. He would be delighted only by making this lad live in constant fear.
Nevertheless, Mo Fei was very appreciative of Ding Ning. Ding Ning dared to hijack the helicopter to save people and seek the quality for equally negotiating with the National Security Bureau by this means. These made him feel delighted and admire Ding Ning"s character, not to mention Ding Ning"s extraordinary medical skills.
Unfortunately, he couldn"t expect how careless Ding Ning was.
If it weren"t for this inexplicable a.s.sessment in which the two kidnappers appeared in front of him as patients, he couldn"t think of these two unlucky guys.
