36: Chapter 035 Starting Treatment_1 36: Chapter 035 Starting Treatment_1 “Little Zhong, you’re here! I’m counting on you this time!” Xiao Yujie deeply looked at Lv Zhong getting out of the car and solemnly spoke to him. Xiao Yujie was a very intelligent matron. Asking Lv Zhong to treat her husband came with great mental torment for her. But from her life experience, she could tell that Lv Zhong was not someone who would deceive others. Moreover, she knew Lv Zhong was smart. She understood that Lv Zhong would not overlook the consequences that would come from deceiving the Zhao family, which Lv Zhong and his family couldn’t bear. Additionally, understanding Lv Zhong’s family background, she decided not to belittle him because of his age and chose to believe in him once. Although she felt that she was being too reckless this time, she decided to ignore many oppositions and stick to her decision of having Lv Zhong treat her husband, since she realized there wasn’t a need for him to deceive her. She was prepared to give Lv Zhong a chance, and her husband a chance of recovery without surgery. Actually, Lv Zhong was not dumb and naturally knew the pressure that Xiao Yujie was under. Moreover, there was a heavyweight figure next to her who could influence her judgment and put immense pressure on her! However, even under such strong opposition, Xiao Yujie managed to suppress all objections with her determination. It showed how decisive this lady was. “Auntie’s trust in me is unwavering. I won’t let you down.” Lv Zhong also solemnly replied. Although this was the first time Lv Zhong was practicing medicine, he possessed deep confidence. Having obtained Lv Yue’s True Spirit and his memories, he knew how potent the Pathogenic Worm was. “So you are Lv Zhong?” Zhao Yuanyi, who was standing by the side, glanced at Lv Zhong with a gloomy face and coldly huffed: “If you can’t cure my brother’s illness, don’t blame me for being rude. I will make your Lv family pay the price! I will let you know that deceiving the Zhao family is something you can’t afford!” Zhao Yuanyi had longstanding experience in the officialdom and naturally held a strong authority. An average person might not stand a chance against his intimidating gaze. Even more so when he was truly furious. Lv Zhong’s gaze lightly swept over Zhao Yuanyi. A trace of coldness and anger flashed in his eyes. However, he still suppressed his anger and scoffed: “Don’t think you’re wonderful just because you’re an official. In my eyes, you’re also a patient, and a special one at that. Excuse me for asking, Mr. Zhao, do you realize your fertility is an issue, your wife can’t conceive because of you. There’s a problem with your meridians. If you don’t seek treatment, you may not be able to have children in the future…” Lv Zhong was not one to expose other’s weaknesses, but Zhao Yuanyi’s threat provoked him to reveal Zhao Yuanyi’s shortcoming in front of everyone. With the existence of a cultivator’s spiritual sense, even without activating his Heavenly Eye, Lv Zhong could easily diagnose Zhao Yuanyi’s innate blockage of the Bladder Meridian of Foot-Taiyang and the Kidney Meridian of Foot-Shaoyin. Several of his vital acupoints were affected and his Yang energy was extremely weak. He pointed out the “illness” that had plagued Zhao Yuanyi for over two decades. After hearing Lv Zhong’s words, the originally furious Zhao Yuanyi turned beet-red, his facial expression drastically changing. This was Zhao Yuanyi’s biggest problem! Despite being one of the leaders in Yan City, he could not conceive a child with his wife. It was something that no man could tolerate. This secret was only known to him and his wife, Ji Ying. He never thought a student like Lv Zhong would expose it as soon as they meet. This almost made him lose control completely. He gazed at his wife, Ji Ying, in anger, only to find Ji Ying looking at him in grievance. Knowing his wife’s personality, Zhao Yuanyi swiftly realized that the leak was not from his wife. Besides, he and Ji Ying had been married for seven years, during which Ji Ying had followed him loyally and without complaint, reflecting her good character. It was obvious that Ji Ying would never divulge such a secret. Zhao Yuanyi was suddenly struck with excitement: “Could it be that this student really did diagnose it correctly?” If that were true, then based on this extraordinary diagnostic ability alone, Lv Zhong might genuinely be proficient in medicine!

He looked at Lv Zhong with a complicated expression, hoping for his medical skills. He wanted to say something to alleviate the tension but was at a loss for words. His face alternated between red and green. For a moment, everyone in the Zhao family was shocked. They saw Zhao Yuanyi’s furious look transforming into one of confusion, then of complexity, as he silently stared at Lv Zhong. As the Zhao family members just regained their senses, they stared in disbelief, stunned. They never thought Zhao Yuanyi himself had a problem. Everyone had thought that Zhao Yuanyi, a star civil servant, was just too busy and had temporarily put off having children, not realizing that there was a problem in his meridians, resulting in his wife’s inability to conceive. Infertility was not a great issue, but since Zhao Yuanyi was a figure of status in Yan City, he felt embarrassed to go for medical checks. He even had a somewhat aversion to medicine, but this was not a significant issue. Even though Xiao Yujie and others cared greatly for Zhao Yuanyi, they were unaware of his health problem. Since Zhao Yuanyi and Ji Ying had been childless, Xiao Yujie and her husband thought it was because Zhao Yuanyi was too busy and had put the matter of parenting on hold. They never would have thought of this. If they had known earlier, they would have forced him to seek treatment and would not have let him delay. “Auntie, please take me to see Uncle Zhao!” Lv Zhong turned to Xiao Yujie and said, without paying no further heed to Zhao Yuanyi. “Sigh!” Xiao Yujie sighed and gave her uncle-in-law a complicated look before speaking to Lv Zhong, “Little Zhong, follow me.” At this point, Xiao Yujie’s faith that Lv Zhong could cure her husband increased a notch. Being able to diagnose Zhao Yuanyi’s “illness” at a glance proved that Lv Zhong was undoubtedly skilled in medicine. If she had a chance, she would like to ask Lv Zhong to also help treat Zhao Yuanyi. However, fearing that Lv Zhong was still angry, she did not ask immediately. After all, another serious patient was waiting for Lv Zhong’s treatment. Although the Zhao family’s villa was splendid, Lv Zhong had no heart to admire it. He followed Xiao Yujie all the way to Zhao Yuancan’s room. The others were also very curious about how Lv Zhong was going to treat Zhao Yuancan, so they followed as well. When he arrived at Zhao Yuancan’s bedside, Lv Zhong found Zhao Yuancan to be sound asleep. However, his complexion was a bit sallow and his breaths were somewhat heavy. Lv Zhong discreetly activated his [Micro Yin-Yang Eye] and used its penetrating function to examine Zhao Yuancan’s condition. Having gathered some understanding of it, he reached out to feel Zhao Yuancan’s pulse. Around five minutes later, Lv Zhong finally spoke: “Uncle Zhao has a malignant tumor near his gastric antrum, elliptical in shape, roughly 3*2cm in size, with localized ulceration. It’s gastric cancer(BII- BIII), low differentiated adenocarcinoma, with some signet-ring cell carcinoma… fortunately, there’s no need for a gastrectomy. I can treat him…” Listening to Lv Zhong’s diagnosis of Zhao Yuancan’s condition, many people in the room gasped in shock. Without using a CT scan, without ultrasound, without any modern equipment, he accurately described Zhao Yuancan’s condition? Zhao Yuanyi began to suspect that Lv Zhong had obtained Zhao Yuancan’s medical file from Doctor Zhang Xiande, the chief of the oncology department at the Affiliated First Hospital. However, Zhang Xiande, the dean of City Affiliated Hospital No.1, would never disclose Zhao Yuancan’s medical condition to a student like Lv Zhong. If Lv Zhong didn’t have prior knowledge of Zhao Yuancan’s condition, then his medical skills were truly astonishing! The key point was Lv Zhong’s final statement – he said he could treat it! This… this was cancer! Not only was Xiao Yujie trembling, even Zhao Yuanyi had a horrified look on his face. At that moment, he suddenly felt that perhaps the student standing before him was a genuine miracle doctor. “Phew… ” Xiao Yujie took a deep breath and solemnly saluted Lv Zhong, saying, “Little Zhong, we’re counting on you this time. If Old Zhao can be cured, my Zhao family will express our deep gratitude.” “You’re too kind, Aunt Xiao. I’m a good friend of Xin Ge, and naturally, wouldn’t stand by while his father is in trouble. So, there’s no need for extravagant thanks!” Lv Zhong waved his hand to deny. It’s not that Lv Zhong was being humble, but because he felt a bit embarrassed to have manipulated the emotions of the Zhao family. Moreover, if he could cure Zhao Yuancan’s disease, he would gain considerable benefits too. Xiao Yujie, seeing Lv Zhong’s demeanour, nodded secretly. Even though she didn’t say anything at the moment, she was determined to express her gratitude if Lv Zhong really managed to cure Zhao Yuancan. Seeing that Lv Zhong declined, Xiao Yujie didn’t press further. She just asked another question: “So, do we need to prepare anything?” “Hmm, leave one person here to help, and any irrelevant people should leave. It wouldn’t be good if something went wrong…” Lv Zhong said indifferently. Xiao Yujie nodded and said, “Then I’ll stay, and the others can wait outside the room.” After saying that, Xiao Yujie glared at the people crowding into the room. “Mom, can I stay too? I am young and strong…” Zhao Ziyu pleaded. “This…” Xiao Yujie looked towards Lv Zhong. “No! I can’t afford to be disturbed while treating patients. The fewer unrelated people there are, the better. If someone inadvertently disturbs me and causes the treatment of Old Zhao to fail, I can’t bear that responsibility.” Lv Zhong rolled his eyes and decisively declined. This was already pushing his limit. He had allowed one person to stay simply to placate the Zahos. Leaving any more people presented a risk that the [Pathogenic Worm] might be exposed. That would not only scare the Zhao family but also be extremely detrimental to him. “Ziyu, it’s fine for you to leave. Having your mom here would be enough!” Although the people from the Zhao family wanted to stay and see how Lv Zhong would treat the patient, they couldn’t go against the authority of Xiao Yujie, and reluctantly left the room. The others were still fine, but Zhao Ziyu clenched her fist at Lv Zhong, her eyes full of warning. Lv Zhong merely shook his head, completely dismissing Zhao Ziyu’s threat. After everyone left Zhao Yuancan’s room, Lv Zhong quickly locked the door, walked over to Zhao Yuancan’s bedside and then quietly said to Xiao Yujie, “Aunt Xiao, please set the room temperature as high as possible….” “Okay!” Xiao Yujie nodded and went to get the remote control. Meanwhile, Lv Zhong seized this opportunity to silently release the [Pathogenic Worm] larvae from the [Plague Pearl], which he had prepared a long time ago. In a split second, he summoned nearly eighty [Pathogenic Worms] and they quickly crawled into Zhao Yuancan’s mouth…
