Rural Doctor Enters the City: Whoever Touches My Wife, I'll Take Them Down!-Chapter 19 - The Great Victim!
19: Chapter 19: The Great Victim!
19 -19: The Great Victim!
Zhou Yu’s statement directly shocked everyone.
After a brief moment of stupor, Zhao Heng ‘thump’ fell to his knees before Zhou Yu.
“Divine Doctor Zhou, as long as you can cure my father, my Zhao Family will do everything in its power to repay you.”
Zhou Yu smiled faintly and helped Zhao Heng to his feet.
“No need for this, let me treat the old master first.”
Zhou Yu walked up to Zhao Jianfeng and took out a pack of silver needles.
“Old Master Zhao, what follows might be somewhat painful, please bear with it.”
Seeing the confidence in Zhou Yu’s eyes, Zhao Jianfeng took a deep breath.
“Okay.”
…
Elsewhere, within the Zhao Family estate, a lush green patch of lawn was filled with drinks, refreshments, and a band performing.
Time passed by second by second.
The Zhao Family members had yet to show themselves.
The gathered guests were initially exchanging pleasantries but, as time went on, they started to show looks of confusion.
“It’s been over an hour past the time the banquet was supposed to start, why haven’t the Zhao Family members appeared?”
“Nothing serious must’ve happened, right?”
“Shush, keep it down!
Careful not to jinx it!”
“Let’s just wait patiently.”
Compared to others, the Lin Family members were even more anxious as this banquet was a matter of life and death for them.
The Lin Family members were on tenterhooks, frequently scanning the surroundings, hoping to catch sight of Old Master Zhao Jianfeng.
At that moment, Lin Wanhao suddenly caught sight of someone, his eyes lighting up.
“Dad, there’s Old Master You over there.
I’ve prepared a gift, and now would be the perfect time to give it to him.”
“Besides, I can also inquire about the Zhao Family’s situation.”
Lin Chaodong hesitated, then nodded his head.
“Alright.”
Lin Wanhao promptly walked briskly toward the other side of the banquet area.
There, several portly middle-aged men were chatting and drinking, among them an elderly man.
“Old Master You, long time no see.”
Lin Wanhao called out cheerfully with a laugh.
This elderly man was none other than You Wan.
You Wan turned around and a flash of surprise crossed his eyes.
“Lin Wanhao?
What brings you here?”
Lin Wanhao quickly said:
“Thanks to Old Master You’s invitation, the Lin Family had this opportunity to be here.”
“I heard Old Master You likes Buddha, so I had a gold Buddha specially made.
Please, accept it.”
Lin Wanhao immediately handed over the box he was carrying.
You Wan, though unsure of what had happened, quickly thought on his feet and then waved his hands with a laugh:
“It’s nothing, just a minor favor.
There’s no need to be so courteous.”
“Besides, didn’t you help me out a few years back as well?”
Lin Wanhao laughed and said, “Old Master You, we are both in Yancheng’s business circles, we should help each other.
This time, no matter what, please accept this.”
You Wan did not demur and had his people take the item.
Lin Wanhao seized the opportunity to ask:
“Old Master You, since you have close ties with the Zhao Family, do you happen to know what has happened at the Zhao Family today?”
You Wan said with a laugh:
“The Zhao Family indeed has some matters today, but don’t worry, just wait patiently.”
Actually, You Wan had no idea what had happened with the Zhao Family; he was just putting on an air of profundity.
Lin Wanhao took his words for the truth.
“I see, thank you, Old Master You.”
“No problem.
I’ve got other matters to attend to, so I can’t continue chatting.”
“That’s alright, Old Master You, you go ahead with your business.”
Lin Wanhao turned around and left.
You Wan glanced at the gold Buddha in the box, his expression turning curious.
Why would the Lin Family come to thank him?
He hadn’t sent an invitation to the Lin Family.
Could they have sneaked in?
But rather than concern himself with it, if the Lin Family wanted to play the fool and give a gift, he certainly wouldn’t turn it away.
…
In the depths of the estate, within a small courtyard.
After two long hours of treatment.
Zhou Yu finally finished administering the acupuncture.
“Alright, Old Master Zhao, try moving and tell me if you feel any discomfort,” Zhou Yu said.
Zhao Jianfeng, with a face full of disbelief, lifted his hand and shook it before his eyes.
“My eyesight has returned!!!”
Zhao Heng rushed over, intending to help Zhao Jianfeng get up, but Zhao Jianfeng pushed him away.
“I can do it myself.”
As the crowd watched in astonishment, Zhao Jianfeng climbed off the bed, his movements appearing quite nimble.
Then, he got off the bed by himself, easily managing the whole process.
When Zhao Jianfeng stood steadily on the floor, he shook with excitement.
“Divine Doctor Zhou, you are simply miraculous.”
“I never imagined I would be able to stand again.”
“Incredible, absolutely incredible.”
In just a couple of hours, Zhao Jianfeng had transformed from a sickly figure to his current state, looking as though he had turned back the years.
Although Li De’an, Li Shuangshuang, and others had already witnessed Zhou Yu’s medical skills, this scene still seemed like a dream to them.
Zhao Heng was so moved that tears streamed down his face.
“Mr.
Zhou, I cannot express enough gratitude for what you’ve done.
In the future, should you need anything, my Zhao Family will spare no effort to repay you.”
Zhao Jianfeng looked at Zhou Yu with admiration.
“Young friend Zhou, I have seen many doctors over the years, but I had never heard of you before.
May I ask who you were apprenticed to?”
Zhou Yu replied, “Old Master Zhao, I have always been learning medicine in the village with an old man and have not been in Yancheng for even a week.
It’s quite normal that you haven’t heard of me.”
“As for the old man, he’s a free spirit and has forbidden me from revealing his name to others.”
Zhao Jianfeng exclaimed in admiration,
“So it turns out you’re the disciple of a hermit expert.
The heavens have been kind to me in letting me meet you, young friend Zhou.”
“From now on, you will be an honored guest of the Zhao Family.
Should you need anything, direct your requests to Zhao Heng.
I dare not boast, but within the bounds of Qinzhou, there are very few things the Zhao Family cannot accomplish.”
Moved by the offer, Zhou Yu said,
“Actually, there is one thing.
If possible, I’d like to ask the Zhao Family for help.”
