From Evil Sect Leader to Doctor-Chapter 414 - 388: Pressure Point

Forty minutes later, Wang Sixuan personally arrived at the Qiao Family. A few hours ago, he had crossed paths with Xu Chunliang but hadn’t acknowledged the young man. Now, for the sake of his son’s illness, he had to swallow his pride and come humbly to ask for help. It truly encapsulates the saying, today you ignore me, tomorrow you cannot reach me.

Qiao Rulong was appointed as the head of the Hua Tou Disciplinary Inspection and Supervision Team, and a member of the Party Committee. His entrance into Hua Tou in this manner was a clear slap in the face from Elder Qiao to Wang Sixuan.

Wang Sixuan now realized Elder Qiao’s methods. Hours ago, he had come to apologize to Elder Qiao, hoping the old man could forgive him, and now he had to ask Xu Chunliang for help for his son.

Wang Sixuan began to understand that so-called authority in Hua Tou was nothing in front of Elder Qiao. Those who could elevate him could also bring him down. He didn’t want to lower himself to ask for medical help from a junior, but his friend, National Medical Master Zhang Boxu, determined that Wang Zeqiang’s condition was not ordinary madness but was caused by someone blocking his acupoint. Only the person who tied the bell on the tiger could untie it.

If there was any other way, Wang Sixuan wouldn’t have come to ask a young brat for help.

When Wang Sixuan arrived, Elder Qiao had gone to his study, likely to avoid him and because he didn’t want to see him.

Qiao Rulong accompanied Wang Sixuan.

When they arrived, Xu Chunliang was drinking tea in the living room with Mei Ru Xue and Ye Qingya. Mei Ru Xue was in a good mood, as she could tell Xu Chunliang’s performance tonight had won her grandfather’s favor. Ye Qingya was also happy for them, discussing calligraphy with Xu Chunliang, whose understanding of calligraphy impressed her greatly.

Seeing Wang Sixuan arrive, Mei Ru Xue and Ye Qingya both stood up. Ye Qingya said, "Uncle is here."

Although Xu Chunliang also stood up, he did not greet Wang Sixuan but instead said to Qiao Rulong, "Hello, Mr. Qiao."

Qiao Rulong nodded and introduced Wang Sixuan to him.

Wang Sixuan reached out his hand to Xu Chunliang, "Dr. Xu, I’m here to ask for your help." Everyone understood the situation, so there was no need to beat around the bush.

Xu Chunliang said, "Mr. Wang, I’m not a doctor. I don’t have a medical practicing license."

Wang Sixuan replied, "Rulong just explained the situation to me. I still earnestly request that Mr. Xu come to our humble home to take a look at my son."

Wang Sixuan had already lowered his posture enough.

Mei Ru Xue said, "What Chunliang means is that he doesn’t have the qualifications to practice medicine and is concerned that it may be considered illegal practice if it gets out."

Qiao Rulong said, "A certificate doesn’t mean much; a healer’s benevolence is what’s important. I believe Dr. Xu won’t ignore someone in distress." His words had a hint of moral coercion.

Xu Chunliang said, "I’m not a doctor; I don’t have a healer’s heart or a duty to save lives. Wang Zeqiang’s character isn’t good, so I really don’t want to go. But Elder Qiao insisted I help, so I feel it is better to comply than to refuse politely." Ultimately, he was tying the whole thing back to Elder Qiao.

Everyone understood that he was going for Elder Qiao’s sake. If anyone dared to make an issue out of his lack of qualifications, it would be repaying kindness with ingratitude and would be against Elder Qiao.

Even as Wang Sixuan was humiliated to his face, he could only swallow his pride and say, "Thank you! Please!"

Xu Chunliang got into Qiao Rulong’s car. Mei Ru Xue initially wanted to go with him, but Xu Chunliang told her it wasn’t necessary.

Watching Xu Chunliang get in the car and leave, Mei Ru Xue was still a bit concerned and whispered, "I should probably still go."

From behind came Elder Qiao’s voice, "That boy is agile and cunning, even daring to lead me around; what are you worried about?"

Mei Ru Xue hadn’t even realized when her grandfather had come out. "Grandfather, he doesn’t have a medical license."

Elder Qiao said, "Certificates are just for show. If the Wang Family wasn’t out of options, they wouldn’t bow to him."

Qiao Rulong, driving, glanced at Xu Chunliang with his peripheral vision and whispered, "Do you really not have a medical license?"

Xu Chunliang said, "My records clearly state, I haven’t even been to college, so where would I get a medical license?"

Qiao Rulong thought to himself, this guy was clearly hinting for him to check his records, and calmly said, "I didn’t do my homework."

Xu Chunliang said, "Mr. Qiao, were you the one who recommended me to the Wang Family?"

Qiao Rulong shook his head, "Not me. National Medical Master Zhang Boxu is my uncle’s good friend. He examined Wang Zeqiang and believes his madness was caused by someone blocking his acupoint."

"Oh? This Zhang Boxu does have some skills." Xu Chunliang only then learned the backstory, and by saying this, he was implicitly admitting to having blocked Wang Zeqiang’s acupoint.

Qiao Rulong sighed internally; no wonder his sister was interested in this guy—he indeed had some skills.

Qiao Rulong said, "I always thought acupuncture only existed in martial arts novels."

Xu Chunliang said, "There’s a lot of Chinese traditional culture lost to the tides of history, including martial arts."

Qiao Rulong said, "You can perform acupoint techniques, so you must be a martial arts expert?"

Xu Chunliang replied, "I’m okay, but I’m the kind of person who never causes trouble unless someone offends me. If someone crosses me, I’ll definitely make them pay a heavy price!"

Qiao Rulong laughed, "Are you saying that for my benefit?"

Xu Chunliang said, "I wouldn’t dare. You’re Xiaoxue’s brother; if I don’t respect the monk, I must at least respect the Buddha."

Qiao Rulong slowed down the car and drove into the Hongliu Academy where the Wang Family was located.

The atmosphere in the Wang Family was heavy and oppressive. In the living room, National Medical Master Zhang Boxu quietly awaited the arrival of Xu Chunliang. Wang Zeqiang had been immobilized at the Su Dian Acupoint. Su Dian is an extra acupoint located in the depression at the base of a certain vital area.

Zhang Boxu, though knowledgeable about acupoint techniques, quickly noticed that the acupoint method used was very peculiar. The technique used by the acupuncturist differed from normal massage, containing both visible and hidden strength.

Generally, a human acupoint is a single point, but its reaction area is spread out. The acupuncturist doesn’t directly strike the point but uses the penetrating force of two different strengths to reach the point. The reaction area then manifests the effects of the acupoint technique, with one force penetrating multiple acupoints on several meridians. With this acupoint technique, regardless of whether the point struck has acupoints, once the inner force penetrates the opponent’s body, any area with an acupoint reaction will be effective in incapacitating the enemy.

The effects of this acupoint technique last longer and are more difficult to neutralize. If neutralized forcibly, it could worsen the victim’s condition, especially with a sensitive area like the Su Dian Acupoint, potentially leaving Wang Zeqiang unable to recover or even sterile for life.

Zhang Boxu realized he was dealing with a master. He told Wang Sixuan that only the person who set the issue could resolve it. Wang Zeqiang’s madness couldn’t be cured even in a hospital. To be precise, it wasn’t an illness but an immobilized acupoint.

After calming down, Wang Sixuan first let Qiao Rulong invite Xu Chunliang over to release the acupoint, but Xu Chunliang insisted that he visit himself. If it weren’t for his son, Wang Sixuan wouldn’t bow to a junior.

Visiting the Qiao Family twice in one day, Wang Sixuan felt his dignity was trampled twice by the Qiao Family. He even suspected Xu Chunliang’s arrogance was because Elder Qiao supported him.

Even though Qiao Rulong helped his uncle, he didn’t sympathize with the Wang Family’s plight; instead, he relished in it. Xu Chunliang’s previous words deeply resonated with him: if someone offends him, he will make them pay a heavy price. What could his uncle do about it? Having chosen to join Hua Tou, his next step was to oust his uncle and replace him.

To not give face to the Qiao Family was to be ungrateful. To him, this uncle had already become a stranger.

Qiao Rulong and Xu Chunliang arrived at the Wang Family. Wang Sixuan had gotten there ahead of them. Concerned about his son’s health, Wang Sixuan dared not be careless.

Zhang Boxu did not expect the perpetrator to be so young. Staring at the handsome young man before him, Zhang Boyu couldn’t hide his surprise: "Is it you?"

Upon Qiao Rulong’s introduction, Xu Chunliang proactively extended a hand to Zhang Boxu, "Hello, Teacher Zhang!" His demeanor was very humble and modest.

Zhang Boxu shook his hand, finding it hard to believe that this young man in his early twenties possessed such intricate acupoint techniques. During the handshake, he observed Xu Chunliang’s palm but found nothing out of the ordinary.

Wang Sixuan said, "Please trouble Dr. Xu to release my son’s acupoint."

Xu Chunliang smiled, "I’m not a doctor. I’m not sure about your son’s condition. Does Teacher Zhang think it’s an acupoint issue?"

Zhang Boxu replied, "Yes, it seems someone immobilized the Su Dian Acupoint, possibly along with other acupoints." He understood the situation and believed Xu Chunliang was the acupuncturist, but no one had proof.

Xu Chunliang said, "Since Teacher Zhang says so, it should be correct. Why don’t you release the acupoint?"

Zhang Boxu replied, "The technique is special, and I dare not act rashly."

Xu Chunliang continued, "If even you can’t do it, I’m afraid it’ll be tough for me too."

Wang Sixuan said, "Please, Mr. Xu, at least take a look at my son." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Xu Chunliang said, "I’m thirsty."

Wang Sixuan saw that this fellow was deliberately wasting time but, in need of assistance, didn’t say much and quickly ordered someone to prepare tea.

Sitting on the sofa, Xu Chunliang chatted with Zhang Boxu about Wang Zeqiang’s condition, ostensibly to learn about the illness but actually to delay. Wang Sixuan gave a pointed look to his nephew, Qiao Rulong, who urged Xu Chunliang, "Xiaoxu, you’d better take a look at my cousin first."

Xu Chunliang responded, "Without your reminder, I almost forgot why I came. He smiled at Zhang Boxu: "I really clicked with Teacher Zhang here."

Zhang Boxu thought inwardly, "Clicked my foot! You’re just trying to drag things out so Wang Zeqiang suffers more."

Everyone moved to Wang Zeqiang’s room, where they could hear muffled noises from outside. Upon entering, they saw Wang Zeqiang tied to the bed with ropes on his hands and feet, a cloth gagged in his mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue in his madness.

Aunt Wang Siqi sat by his side, wiping away tears. She had raised this nephew from a young age, and seeing him like this broke her heart.

Xu Chunliang deliberately said to Zhang Boxu, "Dr. Zhang, why does he look like he has rabies to me?"
