Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

Chapter 607: Chapter 606, Bizarre Case

Xu Wendong looked astonished.

He clearly hadn’t expected Wang Jun to say such things.

Although he didn’t like himself,

there was no need to voice such remarks.

After all, one must keep their emotions in check in the political arena; only in this way can others remain unaware of your true depths. Someone as outspoken as Wang Jun would find it very difficult to survive in politics.

Upon reconsideration, he felt at ease.

Presently, Wang Jun was a free man, having left the political scene and no longer needing to tread carefully as he once did.

Coming back to his senses, Xu Wendong smiled and said, ”As a newcomer, I should come to visit the former leadership of the planning bureau.”

”I heard Vice Mayor Wang is also here, so I came specifically to pay a visit and to inquire about some matters concerning Haicheng.”

Wang Jun replied coldly, ”You can go ask someone else.”

Xu Wendong said, ”I heard that ten years ago, a very bizarre case took place in Haicheng, where over eighty people in a village died mysteriously. This case was led by you at the time, wasn’t it?”

Wang Jun’s pupils suddenly quivered, his eyes filled with shock as he looked at Xu Wendong: ”How do you know about this?”

Indeed, he had led the investigation into that case back then, but they had never determined the cause of death for those people.

However,

The number of people who knew about the case was very few, and it had been classified as a top-secret matter afterward.

That Xu Wendong, newly arrived in Haicheng, knew about this case, how could it not shock him?

”I naturally have my channels.” Xu Wendong exhibited a mysterious smile.

Although the case was top-secret,

however,

The Dragon Court possessed powers beyond the imagination of ordinary people, allowing them to access all classified news in Great Xia.

And it was Qingluan who had previously informed him of this matter.

Next to him, Chen Guoan also showed a solemn expression. It was he who had personally delivered the case file to Jingdu back then. No one in Haicheng knew about it.

Let alone anyone in the province.

It was evident

that Xu Wendong must have connections up north.

And quite extraordinary ones at that.

Wang Jun muttered, ”Since you know about this matter, then you should not be asking me. Everything I knew was written in the files!”

Xu Wendong said, ”I believe there might be details that weren’t written in the files!”

Wang Jun shook his head, ”I wrote everything that needed to be written, there were no omissions.”

Xu Wendong did not continue pressing, instead turning his attention to Chen Guoan, smiling as he said, ”You must be Vice Governor Chen? I’ve long looked up to you, and today I am finally fortunate enough to meet you!”

Chen Guoan sighed, ”I never thought anyone would still remember the name Chen!”

Xu Wendong said, ”Some names are destined to be remembered, much like the sun overhead. Even if we don’t often look up to admire it, we all know it’s there in the sky.”

Chen Guoan smiled without saying much more.

”Vice Governor Chen, how is your illness?” Xu Wendong asked with concern.

Chen Guoan replied nonchalantly, ”It’s just like that, living one more day is one more day!”

ALS.

It was an incurable disease in the medical world. Stephen Hawking had lost his life to it.

It is a chronic neurological illness that initially leads to body muscle atrophy, rendering the body immobile, and then gradually leads to death.

This illness not only tortures the body but also has a profound impact on and torment of the soul.

Xu Wendong said, ”If you trust me, I could examine your body. Although I haven’t treated ALS before, I have treated many other difficult diseases.”

”Sure!” Chen Guoan agreed with a smile.

”Old Leader, don’t trust him,” Wang Jun quickly interjected. ”This guy is so young, how could he know medicine?”

He feared Xu Wendong might make things worse, exacerbating the Old Leader’s illness.

”No worries!” Chen Guoan remained calm.

He had become indifferent to life and death.

And he didn’t mind whether the illness worsened.

Because he didn’t want to refuse Xu Wendong’s kind offer.

After all,

he was now just a good-for-nothing drifting through life, and besides Wang Jun, everyone else looked down on him.

Xu Wendong moved a stool to sit in front of Chen Guoan, swiftly taking his pulse, then closed his eyes to assess Chen Guoan’s condition.

The human body is constructed of flesh and blood and a nervous system, the human brain being akin to a spring, and each nerve akin to a river.

And now, he could clearly sense signs of blockage in Chen Guoan’s nervous system and a lack of activity in the brain neurons.

Xu Wendong asked, ”Vice Governor Chen, would you mind acupuncture?”

Chen Guoan replied with a bitter smile, ”I have to endure dozens of needles daily.”

”Alright then,” said Xu Wendong as he retrieved the silver needles he carried with him, placed the pouch on the table, opened it, extracted a few needles, sterilized them, and then inserted them into Chen Guoan’s leg one after another.

Initially, Chen Guoan remained calm, as being needled had become routine in his life, something he was used to.

However,

after Xu Wendong inserted seven silver needles, his expression grew serious, and fear filled his eyes: ”Why does it hurt so much?”

Wang Jun gasped, ”Pain? That’s not right, Old Leader, didn’t you say your legs had lost feeling?”

His body was suddenly covered with a thick layer of goosebumps.

Chen Guoan was also startled.

That’s right!

His legs had already lost feeling.

Now feeling pain was definitely not a bad thing.

It was a sign of recovery!

Struggling to suppress his excitement, he sat in the wheelchair while Xu Wendong inserted silver needles into his legs. Xu Wendong then followed by inserting over a dozen needles into his head, which looked quite terrifying.

However,

Chen Guoan’s previously haggard face now showed a hint of vitality.

”Old Leader, how are you feeling now?” Wang Jun asked nervously.

But he soon discovered

that Chen Guoan had actually fallen asleep in his wheelchair.

”Xu Wendong, you’ve really got something!” Wang Jun said with admiration. At first, he hadn’t taken Xu Wendong seriously, but now he realized this guy possessed significant skills.

Just considering his medical skills, they were unmatched by ordinary doctors.

He knew Chen Guoan’s condition; his illness directly affected his sleep, usually resulting in very poor quality sleep.

And now, being able to fall asleep sitting showed that after Xu Wendong’s treatment, the Old Leader’s condition had significantly improved.

It was good news!

”It’s just that,” said Xu Wendong, somewhat fatigued as he sat to the side.

Though simple to perform,

helping Chen Guoan with acupuncture had exhausted all his True Qi and mental strength.

He was lucky to possess the cultivation level of the Fifth Level of Qi Refining; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to treat Chen Guoan’s ALS.

As to whether Chen Guoan’s condition had truly alleviated, it would not be known until he woke up.

Somewhere else.

Shen Shiwu anxiously asked Liu Chunyang, ”Divine Doctor Liu, is there a chance my father’s illness can be cured?”
