From Evil Sect Leader to Doctor-Chapter 334 - 309: Tracing Clues Through Pulse Diagnosis

Chapter 334: Chapter 309: Tracing Clues Through Pulse Diagnosis

The arrival of Gao Xinhua made Zhao Daqiang very happy. He asked his wife to quickly prepare a few dishes as the two of them planned to have a good drink together.

Gao Xinhua and Zhao Daqiang have a deep friendship, and he’s never courteous at the Zhao family. In fact, before Zhao Feiyang took up his position at Changxing, Gao Xinhua visited more frequently. Ever since Zhao Feiyang became the director, he has been somewhat apprehensive.

Zhao Daqiang took out a bottle of Moutai with an iron cap: "Xinhua, we’ll drink this for lunch, plenty."

Gao Xinhua said, "Captain, I thought you went bird hunting."

"Bird hunting my ass!"

"Winter birds, there are more on the western shore of Hidden Dragon Lake. I saw quite a few people photographing there while I was jogging."

Zhao Daqiang sighed, "Damn it, don’t bring this up, it makes me angry. I don’t even dare to carry my gun down the street anymore. The way people look at me is as if I’m a corrupt official, like all my stuff is my son’s ill-gotten gains. Can’t I buy it myself? Don’t I have a salary?" Being upset, he started slapping the table, making it bang.

Gao Xinhua laughed, "Don’t get so worked up. With your equipment, just a set costs as much as a small car. It’s normal for people to gossip."

Zhao Daqiang said angrily, "Why didn’t anyone say anything in the past? It’s all because of that kid getting involved in shady dealings. Damn it, he resigned without a word. A county-level position and he just quit, all that effort wasted! Just for that bit of money? Personal and national interests, which is more important? A public servant worse than a stinking businessman?"

Gao Xinhua advised him to take it easy. Although Zhao Feiyang resigned from public office, he’s still the director of Changxing, just serving the people in a different way now.

Talking about this made Zhao Daqiang even angrier: "Serves the people, my ass. I’ve heard quite a few people cursing him lately."

Gao Xinhua said, "Maybe we’re hearing different things. There were indeed many curses at him earlier, but recently the number has decreased. I mean in the hospital, more and more employees are recognizing his reforms."

Zhao Daqiang invited him to drink. After two glasses, Zhao Daqiang sighed, "Honestly, I’m worried about him causing trouble every day now. That kid has a wild heart and a bad habit of being arrogant. A person like that is prone to falling. You must keep an eye on him for me. In crucial moments, rein him in. If he doesn’t listen to you, tell me, I’ll whip him."

Gao Xinhua couldn’t help but laugh, "Captain, he’s an adult now."

"No matter how old he is, he’s still my son."

Gao Xinhua said, "Has Feiyang talked to you about his personal matters?"

Zhao Daqiang banged his glass on the table, "You’re talking about that woman? No way! Our Zhao family will never let her in. She caused a perfectly good family to break up."

Gao Xinhua said, "Captain, I have to say something fair, Feiyang’s divorce wasn’t because of her. From what I know, he met Pei Lin after the divorce."

"I don’t care about that. How old is he? Almost forty, and that woman is only in her twenties. What does she see in him?"

In his heart, Gao Xinhua thought, men are like a blooming flower at forty. Zhao Feiyang still has his charm. In today’s society, many young women prefer this age group, good-looking, successful in their careers, with tricks and depth, what can young kids in their twenties compare to? The former is like Moutai, the latter is like a glass of plain water.

Of course, there are exceptions. Xu Chunliang is one such exception.

Gao Xinhua didn’t forget what Zhao Feiyang asked of him. He knew the old captain well, so he spoke directly, "I’m here today at Feiyang’s request."

"He’s planning to get married, so he wants to first seek your opinion."

"No way!" Zhao Daqiang took a sip of wine and placed the empty glass in front of Gao Xinhua.

"What if, I mean, what if you have a grandson?"

Zhao Daqiang was stunned.

Gao Xinhua knew his Achilles’ heel. Although Zhao Daqiang doted on his granddaughter, he still deeply wanted a grandson. But in the past, his daughter-in-law was unwilling to have a second child. Zhao Daqiang once got drunk and complained to him that the Zhao family would end this way.

Gao Xinhua helped him fill the glass, and Zhao Daqiang silently drank it dry, placing it back on the table.

Gao Xinhua filled it again, "Children have their own blessings. Some things you can’t control."

Zhao Daqiang sighed heavily, "He never lets me have peace of mind. Going on like this is heading for trouble."

Gao Xinhua said, "He hasn’t made any mistakes yet, Captain. I think you should think carefully about this matter. Feiyang’s decision to get married shows responsibility."

Zhao Daqiang said, "That woman’s motives for marrying him aren’t pure. How can that kid not see it?"

On this point, Gao Xinhua shared the same view as he did. Zhao Feiyang wasn’t blind; he was probably stuck in a dilemma now.

Over the weekend, Zhao Feiyang arrived in Nanjiang. He first visited Tong Guangsheng, who was hospitalized, and then had lunch with Shu Yuanhang for an honest conversation. Both parties were very satisfied with the meeting.

Xu Chunliang did not attend their talk. After arranging everything, he returned to the party school to participate in the graduation ceremony of this training class.

After today’s ceremony, there will be organized social practice activities in the next two days. Attending is voluntary. Xu Chunliang didn’t plan to join the activities, intending to take a day to teach Tong Guangsheng the Qi cultivation methods he summarized from "Tianyoupian".

Tong Guangsheng has now been transferred back to the Hematology Department of the Provincial People’s Hospital for further treatment. Since the surgery, his vitality has been severely damaged, and given his current physical condition, the planned chemotherapy has had to be postponed.

As Xu Chunliang passed by the hospital outpatient building, he saw a beautiful young girl pushing a wheelchair past him. It turned out to be Su Qing, a host from Dongzhou TV Station.

Sitting in the wheelchair was a middle-aged man around fifty years old, with his head tilted and one hand curled up, clearly a hemiplegic patient.

Xu Chunliang didn’t expect to meet her here, so he went over and greeted her.

Su Qing initially thought she saw wrong, but when she confirmed it was Xu Chunliang, she smiled, "What a coincidence, running into you even in the provincial city."

Xu Chunliang looked at the middle-aged man in the wheelchair, "This is..."

"My dad!" This middle-aged man was Su Qing’s father, Su Tianyu.

Xu Chunliang greeted Uncle Su, and Su Qing told him that this time she specifically accompanied her father to the provincial city for a medical consultation. Her father had a stroke last year and hasn’t recovered well. They visited several hospitals in Dongzhou, and all recommended that she come to the Provincial People’s Hospital. The rehabilitation department here is the best in the province.

Seeing her forehead covered in fine sweat, Xu Chunliang figured she was quite exhausted bringing her father from Dongzhou to here alone, and he offered to help.

Su Qing said there was no need, as she had already made an appointment with a specialist.

Xu Chunliang, without further ado, took over the wheelchair and accompanied her to the rehabilitation department.

They arrived at the rehabilitation outpatient clinic and waited for more than half an hour before seeing the specialist. After examining Su Tianyu, the specialist told Su Qing that his condition was due to unsatisfactory early treatment, leading to severe sequelae, and said that even if he was admitted for systematic rehabilitation, the results would not be very good.

This specialist was considered a conscientious doctor and advised Su Qing not to waste money, implying that Su Tianyu couldn’t be cured and would spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

Su Qing couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed; in fact, she had anticipated this result.

Xu Chunliang quietly observed Su Tianyu, noticing his dark complexion, sunken eyes with visible fine dark veins, and dull, bluish fingernails.

Though Su Qing had cared for him very cleanly, if smelled carefully, there was still a faint fishy smell from his body.

From Xu Chunliang’s perspective, Su Tianyu seemed to be chronically poisoned. While Su Qing was discussing the condition with the specialist, he took Su Tianyu’s pulse.

Su Tianyu’s pulse was weak and scattered, indicating his meridians had suffered serious damage. From his pulse, Xu Chunliang deduced that Su Tianyu must have practiced cultivation and someone destroyed his Inner Strength.

Although Su Tianyu couldn’t speak, it didn’t imply a muddled mind. He could see that Xu Chunliang was taking his pulse and thought to himself that this young man was quite enthusiastic.

Su Qing talked with the specialist for more than ten minutes, feeling somewhat dejected when she returned. However, she did not show it in front of her father, comforting him, "Dad, the director said that as long as the systematic treatment is done, your condition will improve."

Su Tianyu squeezed out a faint smile as a response to his daughter.

Su Qing unscrewed a thermos cup to feed her father water. She was very considerate and meticulous. She first tied a towel around her father, then fed him spoonful by spoonful. Because Su Tianyu’s lips were crooked, he usually spilled more than half with each spoonful.

Xu Chunliang watched from the side, silently admiring, Su Qing had it really tough. No wonder she didn’t choose to work in a big city as Su Tianyu evidently needed someone around to care for him.

After Su Qing finished feeding her father water, she noticed Xu Chunliang hadn’t left yet, apologizing, "Sorry, I was too busy taking care of my dad that I didn’t even thank you."

Xu Chunliang said, "Why did you come here alone?"

Su Qing replied, "There’s no one else at home, and I can manage by myself."

Xu Chunliang asked, "Have you seen a traditional Chinese medicine doctor?"

Su Qing nodded, "Yes, we have, but it was not effective. You can go if you’re busy, I can manage alone."

Xu Chunliang said, "Where are you heading later? I’ll get a taxi for you."

"No need, I drove."

"In that Beetle of yours?"

Su Qing said, "I borrowed an Odyssey."

Xu Chunliang insisted on accompanying them, and when they arrived at the hospital parking lot, Su Qing opened the car door, first helping her father into the car, then skillfully folding and securing the wheelchair. Xu Chunliang deliberately didn’t lend a hand, wondering how Su Qing managed to get Su Tianyu into the car, surprised at her strength.

Su Qing started the car, turned on the air conditioner, then got out again, saying to Xu Chunliang, "Thank you so much for today."

Xu Chunliang replied with a smile, "No trouble at all, just friends helping out. Are you heading back now?"

Su Qing shook her head, "It was quite the effort coming here; I plan to stay in Nanjiang for the night and take him to Gulou Hospital tomorrow, visit a few places, maybe there will be a miracle."
