Upon hearing Gao Jianfei's words, the pale faces of the hundreds of doctors below the stage gradually regained their color. Then, a chorus of sycophantic praises and eulogies, like a frenzied tidal wave, completely engulfed Gao Jianfei!
On the spot, over a hundred foreign doctors expressed their desire to become Gao Jianfei's students! Meanwhile, the Chinese doctors, led by Tang Zude, already idolized Gao Jianfei, addressing him as "teacher" with extreme familiarity. Tang Zude, who had just shown off in front of Gao Jianfei, blushed deeply and almost knelt down to apologize!
Although Gao Jianfei wouldn't honor the bet that risked his life, he didn't destroy the contract he signed with the doctors, which was guaranteed by the American Embassy and Mayor Zuo Qing. Instead, he pocketed it, smiled mysteriously, and said, "This contract is void, but I'll keep it. Who knows, I might need your help someday. Don't pretend you don't know me then... haha..."
Gao Jianfei's intention was obvious... He kept the contract as a tool to control those doctors!
How could the doctors not understand Gao Jianfei's subtext?
They all patted their chests and assured Gao Jianfei that they would maintain their friendship with him forever, and that their admiration for him would not fade with time. In short, they said a lot of cheesy things. They were also afraid that one day Gao Jianfei would lose his temper and make the contract public, which would give them a real headache! After all, it was a life-or-death contract, which they had signed and acknowledged in black and white…
Gao Jianfei chuckled to himself. He never expected that by coming to treat Thomson, he would gain fame and experience points, and also incidentally uncover the secrets of hundreds of authoritative doctors from all over the world!
This harvest was extremely significant...
The American officials and Mayor Zuo Qing now looked at Gao Jianfei with even greater fervor than before… They had all seen that Gao Jianfei had already subdued several hundred world-renowned doctors. Calling Gao Jianfei a mere star in the world of medicine was no longer appropriate… You had to use titles like 'Medical Immortal,' 'Medical God,' or 'Ruler of the Medical World' to bestow upon him!
Gao Jianfei has obtained the fame he needed!
Moreover, this is not just a reputation within China, but a reputation worldwide!
Those American TV stations, newspapers, and magazines will edit this tonight, and tomorrow, Gao Jianfei will be on the front page of authoritative American magazines and newspapers!
On the contrary, newspapers and television stations in country Z were unable to enjoy this valuable first-hand information!
The American staff brought Mr. Thomson a towel and some underwear so he could put them on. Although he had regained his senses and could walk, he still had some difficulty speaking and his spirits weren't very high. Several maids led Mr. Thomson away.
"Respected divine physician, you have cured Mr. Thomson. Our U.S. 'government' will keep its promise and give you sufficient compensation and gratitude!" The U.S. official in charge said sincerely to Gao Jianfei.
"We'll talk about the payment in a few days," Gao Jianfei said with a faint smile. "As things stand, Mr. Thomson's illness is not completely cured. I need to treat him again to eradicate it. Remember, I will come back tomorrow to treat Mr. Thomson again."
After a pause, Gao Jianfei added, “Furthermore, please do not attempt to analyze the ‘medicinal’ solution I used to soak Mr. Thomson. It contains some toxins, and I hope you will dispose of this filthy liquid quickly. Also, even if you analyze the ingredients of the Chinese medicine I used, you cannot assess the dosage of each herb. The dosage of each herb in the medicinal solution I prepared for Mr. Thomson is extremely precise. If the dosage is not properly controlled and the medicine is used rashly, Mr. Thomson's condition will relapse! In addition, my acupuncture technique is unique. Therefore… in this world, only I can cure Mr. Thomson.” Having said this, Gao Jianfei smiled reservedly.
Those American officials were all ashamed! Just now, they had indeed considered analyzing the ingredients of the bathtub full of "medicine" that Gao Jianfei had prepared. After hearing Gao Jianfei's warning, they blushed and quickly abandoned such a thought.
Afterwards, Gao Jianfei told these Americans the location of his clinic and asked them to drive to his clinic the next day to pick him up for Mr. Thomson's second treatment.
When Gao Jianfei left, many doctors present requested to visit and learn from his clinic. They even wanted to stay there for a few days to listen attentively to his medical experience and insights.
Gao Jianfei, of course, would not refuse these requests!
After all, there are many internal martial arts masters in the village. If they try to stop Gao Jianfei, either he will not go home and will continue to hide outside, or he will bring more influential people with him home. In that case, the internal martial arts forces in the city will have some reservations and will not dare to make a move rashly!
As a result, 45 medical authorities, with hearts full of learning and admiration, returned to Butterfly Village and Gao Jianfei's clinic with Gao Jianfei!
Gao Jianfei's self-built two-story house was immediately filled with occupants! The floor was covered with mattresses!
Just as Gao Jianfei had guessed, Qiu Menghen and the others were dumbfounded when they discovered that Gao Jianfei had brought home a group of well-dressed and imposing people!
Most of these people were foreigners with hooked noses, deep-set eyes, blond hair, and green eyes. Qiu Menghen and the others didn't dare to act recklessly at all!
Gao Jianfei didn't give up his own bedroom for the doctors. He lay on the bed, extremely satisfied. He turned on the virtual display screen, and the exorcism points had returned to '3500'.
"Hmm, I'm getting closer and closer to the level 3 Ghost Martial Arts skill I want. Not bad, not bad!"
Just as Gao Jianfei was getting ready to go to sleep, Mayor Zuo Qing called him directly.
"Hmm? Mayor Zuo, is there some problem with the old man's condition?" The call came in the middle of the night, and Gao Jianfei instinctively thought it might be related to the old man's health; otherwise, Mayor Zuo wouldn't be calling at this hour!
"Uh...no, no, miracle doctor, my father's condition is very stable. There's absolutely no problem! Well, miracle doctor, I just wanted to tell you something. Just now, I received a notice from Secretary Zhan of the Municipal Party Committee that I have to go to London, England, to participate in an inspection. Tomorrow, I'll fly to the capital, study there for two days, and then transfer to London with some officials from the capital. Hehe, my schedule is suddenly very tight."
It was clear from Mayor Zuo's tone that he was also beaming with joy.
Gao Jianfei thought to himself, perhaps this kind of opportunity to go abroad for inspection would be quite good for those officials.
"Well then, congratulations, Mayor Zuo." Gao Jianfei smiled. "Have a safe journey."
"Thank you, Divine Doctor. As for my father's treatment, I'll leave it to you. From now on, I'll have my wife bring him here for treatment every day. In short... thank you for your help!" Zuo Qing stated the main purpose of his call.
Gao Jianfei thought for a moment, "It's nothing, just have Ms. Mo bring the old man over, it's the same."
…… …… ……
City D. District J!
Uncle Yao's villa!
Around 9 p.m., Secretary Zhan of the Municipal Party Committee and Uncle Yao were drinking coffee in the garden of the villa, lying on rocking chairs.
“Uncle, I’ve made all the arrangements for you. Tomorrow morning, Lao Zuo will fly to the capital. Then you can deal with your enemy without worry.” Secretary Zhan smiled and took a sip of coffee. “Uncle, this time, I’ll help him thoroughly. This afternoon, I’ll personally issue an order to arrest that guy, and tonight, you can send someone to take him out.”
Secretary Zhan's meaning was clear: in order to increase the success rate of arrests, he would personally dispatch some armed police to make the arrests, so that the arrested people would not dare to resist!
No matter how powerful someone is, they wouldn't dare to confront the government's armed police, right?
Previously, when Secretary Zhan was chatting with Uncle Yao, Uncle Yao inadvertently told Secretary Zhan that the person he was dealing with was a very capable fighter and quite troublesome.
Therefore, Secretary Zhan took it upon himself to send the armed police to arrest the person first, and then let Uncle Yao easily take the person out.
"Haha! That's great! Secretary Zhan, this way, it's absolutely foolproof! Absolutely foolproof!" Uncle Yao laughed heartily. "Tomorrow, I'll call the people monitoring Butterfly Village and ask if that guy works at his clinic. If so, I'll immediately inform Secretary Zhan!"
"Yes, I will personally issue the arrest warrant," Secretary Zhan said casually. It was as if arresting someone was as easy as stepping on an ant.
"Thank you, Secretary Zhan! As for Miss Tian, she's currently at the Jinjiang Hotel. She's booked a room, so Secretary Zhan can go directly there and have a chat with her. Hehe." Uncle Yao smiled knowingly.
Secretary Zhan stood up abruptly. "Then, I'll take my leave. Uncle, I'll be waiting for your call tomorrow!"
After Secretary Zhan left, Uncle Yao ran excitedly to a guest room in the villa and reported to Luo Huazi and the others from the Qingcheng Sect, "Esteemed Taoist priests, tomorrow, the 'government' will directly arrest Gao Jianfei. Tonight, I can bring Gao Jianfei to you all with complete peace of mind, and you can deal with him as you see fit!"
"Hmm, very good. It's good that you can use worldly methods to capture people from the secular world. Excellent!" Luo Huazi smiled approvingly.
…… …… ……
The next day, after Gao Jianfei got up, he pretended to discuss some medical topics with those dozens of medical experts.
After learning Hu Qingniu's medical skills, Gao Jianfei became quite interested in medicine itself. Moreover, Gao Jianfei was proficient in traditional Chinese medicine but not in Western medicine, which was perfect for bringing up certain topics so that everyone could combine traditional Chinese and Western medicine for discussion.
It's still a very meaningful thing.
…… …… ……
At noon, Uncle Yao made a phone call to the local internal martial arts practitioners in D City who were holding down the fort in Butterfly Village, and asked them one question... "Does Gao Jianfei have a clinic?"
After receiving a positive reply, Uncle Yao called Secretary Zhan directly!
Today, Secretary Zhan did not go to work. From last night until noon, he spent the entire time discussing some issues with the beautiful and charming Ms. Tian.
I've studied it several times!
Miss Tian's skills were highly proficient; she served Secretary Zhan to his utmost satisfaction, making his soul soar and feel incredibly good time and time again.
When I received Uncle's call, Secretary Zhan was sitting in a chair, and Miss Tian was kneeling between his legs, her head bobbing rhythmically. Her long, black hair swayed back and forth, which was truly exquisite!
"Hmm? That person is from Butterfly Village today? Okay, Uncle, that's the person, I'll handle it right away!" Secretary Zhan hung up the phone and immediately called his good friend, a high-ranking officer in the D City Military Sub-district, asking him to help arrest someone. A vicious and ruthless person.
With the Party Secretary of D City speaking out, arresting a few people is certainly not a big problem.
So, in the afternoon, dozens of armed police officers, fully armed and on high alert, stormed into Gao Jianfei's clinic and arrested him!
This action enraged dozens of doctors, both domestic and foreign, at Gao Jianfei's clinic, who then denounced the armed police officers.
However, the armed police officers were merely carrying out orders. They were going to arrest people, and they had to arrest them. As for why there were so many foreigners living in the places where the arrested people lived, that was not their concern. At most, they would just report these situations to their superiors.
Faced with dozens of armed police officers, the doctors could only protest at most; none of them were willing to stand in front of Gao Jianfei and use their own flesh and blood to prevent the armed police officers from taking Gao Jianfei away.
Gao Jianfei was also confused... When did I offend the local army? When did I offend the government? No, right?
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Gao Jianfei… The moment Mayor Zuo left D City today, someone came to arrest me!
This is truly something to ponder!
"Uncle Yao! It must be Uncle Yao who's behind this!" Gao Jianfei instinctively thought of Uncle Yao!
As the top figure and leader of the province's underground forces, Uncle Yao could indeed use his connections to get a group of armed police to come and arrest him!
Having figured this out, Gao Jianfei felt at ease.
"Alright, everyone," Gao Jianfei said with a smile in a low voice to some of the doctors, "Don't worry about me. I've always been a law-abiding citizen and have never done anything illegal. I'll go with them now, so don't worry, I'll be fine. However, please tell the people at the American embassy that I might not be able to go to treat Mr. Thomson today. Uh... things are a bit complicated. If Mr. Thomson isn't treated in time today, his condition might worsen... Sigh, there's really nothing I can do. Just pass on the message for me."
After saying that, Gao Jianfei confidently followed the armed police out.
Gao Jianfei thought to himself, "Uncle, are you trying to mess with me? I'd like to see who's messing with whom this time!"
No sooner had Gao Jianfei been taken away than the doctors immediately called the U.S. Embassy. Some even went directly to Mr. Thomson's villa to embellish the story of Gao Jianfei's arrest and tell Mr. Thomson and officials at the U.S. Embassy.
Furthermore, after Gao Jianfei was taken away by the group of armed police officers, he was directly handed over to the D City Public Security Bureau.
Gao Jianfei was detained in an interrogation room at the Public Security Bureau, but no one came to interrogate him.
Gao Jianfei chuckled, casually smoking in the interrogation room, thinking to himself… Damn, Uncle Yao is really cunning. If he had notified the internal martial arts factions to arrest me, or even the Qingcheng Sect, I would definitely have resisted. But he specifically mobilized the 'government'! Well, I can't resist that. I'm a good citizen, after all. However, he miscalculated… Heh, just wait and see!
…… …… ……
City D. Municipal Party Committee Office.
After finishing his conversation with Ms. Tian, Secretary Zhan returned to his office in the afternoon.
Sitting behind his desk, Secretary Zhan received a call from the Public Security Bureau. On the other end of the line, the D City Public Security Bureau Chief personally told Secretary Zhan that the person he wanted had been brought to the city's Public Security Bureau. However, the Public Security Bureau Chief also told Secretary Zhan that something was amiss… Apparently, when the “criminal” was arrested, there were a large number of foreigners at the “criminal’s” residence!
Secretary Zhan frowned. "I've come here personally to check the situation. There shouldn't be any major problems. Our city, D, does have a large number of foreigners."
Just then, a secretary knocked on the door and came in. The secretary, slightly nervous, said to Secretary Zhan, "Secretary Zhan, some officials from the US Embassy in D have come directly to the Municipal Party Committee, claiming they want to see you immediately."
"Huh?" Secretary Zhan was taken aback. "This... let them in."
A few minutes later, five furious Americans stormed into Secretary Zhan's office. One of them, who spoke Chinese, shouted, "Secretary Zhan, we have a strong protest against you!"
"This... what's going on? Please sit down, everyone. I have absolutely no idea what your so-called protest is all about!" Secretary Zhan was dumbfounded.
"Listen, Secretary Zhan, you have arrested a highly respected medical expert! He happens to be the expert whom our President of the United States will personally award the Medal of Honor to! If you don't give us an explanation immediately, we will withdraw all engineers from several projects in your D City! The American teachers at several elite schools in your D City will also resign en masse! Furthermore, we will unilaterally withdraw all funds and technical personnel from several investments that we have negotiated with D City!"

Chapter 268 International Disputes
D City, Municipal Party Committee Office!
Party Secretary Zhan just returned from the Jinjiang Hotel, looking quite pleased with himself. The Miss Tian that his uncle arranged for him is simply a wonderful person! How charming and lovely she is.
Moreover, several million more in rewards appeared in Secretary Zhan's anonymous bank account!
The price to pay is simply to catch someone for Uncle Yao!
In fact, on the official front in D City, Secretary Zhan holds the reins of power; in the underground forces of D City, Uncle Yao is the leader!
With that kind of power, they could arrest someone with absolute impunity!
Moreover, that person is said to have some background, but his only protector is Mayor Zuo!
