Xu Wendong was not discouraged.
Not only that,
He also developed a strong sense of challenge.
The more complex the situation in Haicheng, the more it could showcase his abilities, couldn’t it?
Four in the morning.
Xu Wendong finished treating Chen Guoan.
"Uncle Chen, you can try walking now!" Xu Wendong’s face broke into a slight smile. He could feel that Chen Guoan’s condition had greatly improved.
Chen Guoan nodded excitedly, then, using his hands to support the wheelchair, unsteadily stood up.
Although his body was wobbly, giving the impression that he might collapse at any mont,
Still,
He managed to straighten his body with tenacious determination, lifted his feet with difficulty, and slowly moved a few steps forward, stopping only when he reached the desk.
At this mont, tears of excitent filled his eyes.
Because he had been prepared to face death,
Yet, unexpectedly, he defeated the illness and stood again.
After all, he had been suffering from ALS.
Chen Guoan was overwheld with gratitude, "Thank you, Doctor Xu, thank you!"
Xu Wendong found paper and pen, wrote a prescription, and handed it to him, "Uncle Chen, your illness has mostly recovered, but after you go back, you should still take so tonic soups. As long as you continue taking it for a while, I guarantee you’ll live to a ripe old age!"
Chen Guoan nodded solemnly.
"By the way," Xu Wendong suddenly said, "make sure not to tell anyone that I saved you."
"I understand." Chen Guoan sighed quietly.
He had already figured out Xu Wendong’s plan.
His aim was simple,
He hoped that after returning to work in the province, he would continue to be Wang Jun’s backing.
In this way, they would inevitably be in opposition.
After all,
Xu Wendong had toppled Wang Jun shortly after arriving in Haicheng. They were destined never to be friends.
Chen Guoan suddenly said, "Doctor Xu, you might want to keep an eye on Jiang Yuanbo. I feel like there are many secrets about him!"
Xu Wendong took note of Chen Guoan’s words, then left the sanatorium like a phantom before dawn.
Returning to the civil servant complex, he took off his clothes, lay in the warm bed, and, holding Liu Shii’s soft, tender body, drifted into sleep.
He slept straight through to ten in the morning.
Feeling a gentle warmth and dampness, he opened his sleepy eyes.
He saw Liu Shii kneeling in front of him, her face flushed.
Being woken in such a manner was truly delightful.
And as he engaged in Dual Cultivation with Liu Shii,
The True Qi he had expended treating Chen Guoan gradually recovered.
------
Four in the afternoon.
Xu Wendong and Liu Shii returned to the sanatorium and went to where Shen Wenhui was staying.
The mother and daughter, Wang Juping and Shen Shiwu, had already been inford of Xu Wendong’s visit and awaited him for a long ti.
When Xu Wendong arrived,
They were both excited and placed Shen Wenhui on the bed to receive treatnt from Xu Wendong.
Compared to Chen Guoan, Shen Wenhui’s illness was much lighter.
Of course,
This was only in Xu Wendong’s view.
For others, it remained a formidable ailnt.
Using acupuncture and massage, Xu Wendong treated Shen Wenhui for over an hour and then waited quietly for him to wake up.
During this ti, Wang Juping and Shen Shiwu prepared an elaborate dinner to entertain Xu Wendong.
While the four were having dinner, the sleeping Shen Wenhui awoke, walking weakly out of the bedroom.
Seeing this, both Shen Shiwu and Wang Juping were overjoyed to tears.
"Where am I?" Shen Wenhui looked haggard, his voice weak, completely unaware of his location.
"Dad, we’re at the sanatorium now!" Shen Shiwu quickly supported her father and helped him to the table, then explained how he had a stroke and could not look after himself.
She also officially introduced Xu Wendong,
He was not only the deputy director of the Urban Planning Bureau but also her father’s lifesaver.
Shen Wenhui felt relieved.
He never expected so much had happened to him.
"Thank you, Doctor Xu, for saving my life. Words alone cannot express my gratitude; let toast you with tea instead of wine!" Shen Wenhui said gratefully.
Xu Wendong quickly replied, "Director Shen, you’re too kind. You are my senior, and I am just doing what I can."
"Though you have just recovered, and your body’s functions have yet to restore, you should have so liquid food these days!"
Wang Juping quickly said, "I’ll go make so porridge!" As she headed to the kitchen.
Shen Shiwu said, "Mom, I’ll help you."
"I’ll go help too," Liu Shii sensibly chose to leave as well.
She knew,
Xu Wendong and Shen Wenhui certainly had sothing to discuss.
Xu Wendong cut to the chase, "Director Shen, earlier, Miss Shen ntioned that before you had the attack, you said soone wanted to harm you?"
Shen Wenhui’s expression beca stern. He glanced at Xu Wendong and said in a low voice, "Doctor Xu, I know there must be strong backing behind you, but I still want to advise you to leave Haicheng soon!"
"Otherwise, you’ll fall here!"
At the age of twenty-four, as a deputy director of the city planning bureau, it’s obvious that soone with that kind of position has significant backing.
However,
The situation in Haicheng was too complicated.
No matter how high Xu Wendong’s background was, he couldn’t stand his ground here.
Xu Wendong said, "I appreciate Director Shen’s advice, but since I dared to co here, I was prepared ntally."
"Even though the situation here is complex, I believe I can leave unscathed." He said with a confident and charming smile.
Shen Wenhui hesitated for a mont and couldn’t help but add, "Do you believe in ghosts?"
"Ghosts exist?" Xu Wendong was startled.
Well,
In reality, he knew about the existence of ghosts more than anyone, as he had encountered a female ghost on Qingyuan’s Lake Heart Island.
However, he couldn’t admit he believed in ghosts,
Otherwise, this topic with Shen Wenhui would end right there...
Shen Wenhui’s expression turned solemn, "Actually, my health has always been good; I undergo regular check-ups every year. My physical functions are akin to those of a thirty-year-old adult. Don’t you find my sudden stroke unusual?"
Xu Wendong nodded, acknowledging, "Indeed, it’s sowhat bizarre."
Shen Wenhui looked ashen, with eyes full of terror, "It wasn’t a sudden stroke. I saw a ghost, and the fright caused my cerebral artery to rupture!"
Xu Wendong asked in astonishnt, "Where did you see the ghost?"
Recalling, Shen Wenhui said, "At my ho."
"It was a woman in a red dress with disheveled hair; she had six fingers on her right hand and appeared directly before ."
"She said I deserved death and soone wanted to take my life!"
"I tried to ask who wanted dead, but she didn’t say. Instead, she entered my head directly."
"And then...
I saw Mortal Purgatory, dozens of corpses hanging before my eyes, rivers of blood on the ground, and after that, I lost consciousness!"
