Overwhelmed with emotion, seeing his mother, who had suffered from rheumatism for years, suddenly completely healed and free from any pain, Mr. Chen felt a surge of joy. He immediately said to his son, "Taixian, write a check for your Uncle He and thank him properly. Your mother has suffered her whole life from this illness. Whether it's cured or not, at least your mother is no longer in pain. That's a great kindness from him!"
Mr. Chen's son, Mr. Chen Taixian, quickly took out his checkbook, wrote a check for one million US dollars in a flash, and respectfully handed it to Mr. He with both hands, saying, "Uncle He, thank you for your trouble!"
Old He's hands trembled slightly as he took the check. Although he had been living a life of mediocrity, neither too bad nor too good, neither too comfortable nor too frugal, he had always paid the old lady several hundred to several thousand dollars for each acupuncture treatment, but never more than ten thousand dollars. Today, however, he was given a check for one million US dollars. How could he not be excited!
This was, of course, because Zhou Xuan did an excellent job. He cured the old lady's illness completely with just hand massage, without taking any medicine or injections. It was unimaginable.
But we still need to accept this million-dollar check. It's the best way to get Lao He out of his predicament and allow his family to live a better and more comfortable life.
But what Lao He couldn't understand was that Zhou Xuan actually had such profound medical skills. It was truly unexpected. This young man was not boastful, but rather highly skilled and daring. This million was actually entirely due to his efforts!
Old He was considering how much he should pay Zhou Xuan. Even if he had used Zhou Xuan's reputation, it was Zhou Xuan who cured the old lady. If it were him, he would never have been able to relieve the old lady's pain. He might have relieved it a little or made it less severe, but he could never have done it so miraculously, making her feel like nothing had happened in just a few minutes!
Old He thought he should give Zhou Xuan half the money, 500,000 yuan, because the credit was his, and he was just using the name to let Zhou Xuan see it. But he definitely couldn't say that here.
So Lao He remained silent. The gratitude and thanks from Lao Chen's family were all directed at Lao He. Zhou Xuan was his apprentice, so the medical skills naturally came from his hands. If the apprentice could use them, the master could naturally use them too. As for why he hadn't cured the old lady before, Zhou Xuan explained that this technique was newly developed, which also covered up for Lao He. It was a reasonable explanation.
Old Master Chen quickly instructed the servants to serve tea and water, and invited Old He and Zhou Xuan to sit down. He was full of gratitude and asked during the meal, "Dr. He, what new medical techniques have you been researching? Your apprentice's medical skills are truly superb. I wonder what diseases this acupressure qigong technique can treat?" Old He smiled, picked up his teacup to drink tea, and glanced at Zhou Xuan to indicate that he should answer.
Zhou Xuan chuckled and said generously, "This is my master's new detection method, which combines Qigong with acupressure. It has good therapeutic effects, especially for certain diseases. I have tried it on several cases, treating uremia, cancer, leukemia, and so on. Basically, the results are ideal and very good!" The Chen family and Lao He were all taken aback. Lao He was using drinking tea as a cover. If he was too surprised, it would arouse suspicion from the Chen family, so he had to restrain himself. However, the Chen family did not pay attention to Lao He at all. They were all stunned by Zhou Xuan's words and stared at him.
It can cure cancer, uremia, and leukemia, which are all incurable diseases in medicine. This is far more serious than rheumatism. Although rheumatism is serious, it is not fatal in the short term, but these incurable diseases are life-threatening!
Upon hearing this, Old Master Chen's son, Chen Taixian, had a complex expression. After thinking for a moment, he stood up and said, "Dad, you and Uncle He talk first. I have some things I'd like to discuss with this young Dr. Zhou, about medical skills!" Old Master Chen chuckled and said, "You only know how to make money, what do you know about medicine? Hehehe, fine, you can talk to Dr. Zhou about whatever you want. I think Dr. Zhou's medical skills are beyond reproach; he's truly inherited Old He's skills, hehe!"
Old He gave an awkward smile, took a sip of tea, and was too embarrassed to say more. Old Master Chen's words made him feel proud, but he was really embarrassed. Fortunately, he understood Zhou Xuan's intentions. Zhou Xuan had asked him to take the credit and wouldn't expose his true nature.
Zhou Xuan didn't know what Chen Taixian wanted to say, but guessed it might be about medicine. Could he be suffering from some unspeakable ailment? Zhou Xuan chuckled and followed him into the inner room, while using his supernatural ability to probe Chen Taixian's body. However, under the probe, Chen Taixian's body basically showed no symptoms or major problems. Of course, it's normal for men to have some minor ailments, such as kidney deficiency. Thinking about it, it was possible. Rich people usually have promiscuous private lives. Maybe he just wanted Zhou Xuan to prescribe some tonics for him.
Zhou Xuan had seen that Lao He's living conditions were only so-so, not very well-off. Since he had made such a good friend despite the age gap, he might as well help him out. Although he was rich, it would be embarrassing for Lao He to just openly give him money. In that case, they would no longer be friends, and they would never be able to go back to where they started. He would become a benefactor, which would be meaningless.
Old He's garden is full of medicinal herbs. If I could just use my supernatural abilities to help him grow Ganoderma lucidum, Polygonum multiflorum, and ginseng, turning them into thousand-year-old medicinal treasures with extraordinary medicinal properties, they could fetch a high price. If I could also prepare a powerful tonic for this Mr. Chen, I could definitely earn millions in reward. If I could handle a few of these matters for Old He, I could completely get him out of his predicament and allow him to live a more comfortable life.
This relaxed situation allows Lao He to feel that the income is his own, and in that case, the two can still have a good relationship. A relationship without any ulterior motives is a pure relationship.
After inviting Zhou Xuan into the inner room, Chen Taixian closed the door tightly. Then, he leaned close to Zhou Xuan and deliberately lowered his voice, saying, "Dr. Zhou, what I want to ask is... what I want to ask is..." Although they were in the inner room, Chen Taixian still found it difficult to say it and was very embarrassed to say it.
Zhou Xuan really thought that was the case and was about to ask him, but Chen Taixian finally spoke up, "Dr. Zhou, what I want to ask is, since you can treat those terminal illnesses, is it possible for you to cure AIDS?"
These words were truly unexpected for Zhou Xuan. He had thought that Chen Taixian wanted to treat his own kidney deficiency, but to his surprise, he asked if he could cure the disease!
Zhou Xuan pondered the severity of AIDS. He had heard of it before, but had never met anyone with the disease, so he had no reason to say whether it could be cured. Without seeing the patient and testing him with his supernatural abilities, he dared not agree immediately. Although he felt in his heart that the disease could be cured, he could not readily agree. If it couldn't be cured, then agreeing would be an exaggeration. Whether it could be cured and whether it could be cured well would have to be determined after seeing the patient in person and testing him with his supernatural abilities.
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Xuan replied, "Well... because I have never treated this kind of patient before, I need to see the patient and examine him to know whether he can be cured. Moreover, I need my master's guidance. My medical skills are far inferior to my master's."
Chen Taixian hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll ask Dr. Zhou and Uncle He to come over. But please keep it a secret in front of my family. I'll just say I'm taking you back, and then use this as an excuse to take you to see that patient!" Zhou Xuan nodded and said, "Okay, I won't say anything once we're out. You can tell my master!" Since it was agreed upon, Chen Taixian didn't hesitate and immediately took Zhou Xuan back to the hall. After Zhou Xuan entered the hall, he said to Old He, "Uncle He, I think we should go back first!" As soon as Zhou Xuan and Chen Taixian returned to the hall, Zhou Xuan said he wanted to leave. Old He knew very well that there was definitely a problem, so he immediately stood up and said to Old Master Chen, "Master Chen, Madam Chen, then we'll take our leave. My nephew has something to attend to and needs to rush back!"
Chen Taixian immediately chimed in, "Dad, I'm taking Uncle He and Dr. Zhou home. They're my two benefactors. I was going to thank them properly and treat them to a meal, but since I'm taking them home now, I think I'll find another opportunity to treat them later!"
Old Master Chen, of course, did not object. He nodded repeatedly, looked around, and then asked, "Tai Xian, the eldest and second eldest are here, but where is the third? I remember not seeing the third one for about a week. Where is he? That kid, all he does is fool around!"
The eldest and second eldest sons that Old Master Chen mentioned were Chen Taixian's sons, that is, his biological sons.
Chen Taixian said, "Dad, I recently sent the third son to work in another state. That kid is hopeless and needs to be trained properly. I can't let him have it too easy and make him forget his place. I need to discipline him first!"
Upon hearing his son Chen Taixian's answer, Old Master Chen nodded. None of the three sons of the Chen family were very promising. It seems that the saying "wealth doesn't last three generations" holds true. It is certainly true that Chen Taixian should discipline his sons strictly. Moreover, it is only right that he should. None of his three grandsons are very good, especially the third son, who is outrageous. He indulges in eating, drinking, gambling, and whoring. It would be even better if Chen Taixian disciplined him!
Since Old Master Chen didn't object, Chen Taixian naturally quickly invited Zhou Xuan and Lao He into his car and personally drove them to his other house.
This is Chen Taixian's private villa. Chen Taixian hurriedly drove Zhou Xuan and Lao He here, and then asked them to wait in the living room while he went to the inner room to fetch someone.
Zhou Xuan had already used his special ability to probe inside. There wasn't even a doctor, medical staff, or servants in the room. There was a young man in his early twenties lying on the bed, groaning. His face and body were showing very unsightly signs, which indicated that he was in the late stages of AIDS.
No wonder Chen Taixian locked his son up here. He had already flared up and was afraid his family would find out, so he kept it a secret and locked his youngest son up here. However, this disease is incurable. Although Zhou Xuan cured the old lady's rheumatism, rheumatism and AIDS are two different things. Naturally, he had no confidence at all. But having a glimmer of hope is better than having no hope at all. After all, Zhou Xuan did something very miraculous, which is why Chen Taixian had a glimmer of hope.
While Mrs. Chen went to the inner room to talk to her son, Old He quietly asked Zhou Xuan, "Little Zhou, what exactly did President Chen want to talk to us about?"
"Old He didn't ask about this matter in the car. Zhou Xuan had just said goodbye because he had to go back, but once in the car, he knew that Chen Taixian had other things to do, because the road back was not the road to his clinic, but in the opposite direction."
However, when Lao He saw that Chen Shixian's brows were furrowed, he did not ask him what was wrong. It was not until they sat down in the living room and Chen Tai entered the room first that Lao He asked Zhou Xuan about the reason.
Zhou Xuan also whispered, "Old He, let me tell you, it was this General Manager Chen who secretly told me that he has a relative who has contracted AIDS and asked me to see if he could treat him. Because of the special nature of the condition, he brought us here and didn't dare let his family know."
"AIDS?" Old He couldn't help but gasp!
This disease is not rheumatism; it's a life-threatening one, even more serious than cancer, leukemia, or uremia. Cancer, if detected early, can be treated with surgery to remove the cancerous tissue. Leukemia can also be treated with bone marrow transplants and sperm regeneration. The same applies to uremia. Although these are serious diseases, they are relatively terminal, meaning they are in their late stages. If detected early, there are still ways to treat them, though it's not certain. There is a possibility of a cure.
Once AIDS is discovered, whether early or late, there is no way to cure it. At least for now, the world's medical technology is not confident that it can be cured!
Old He pondered for a moment. Although Zhou Xuan's medical skills were profound, beyond his imagination, he would definitely be helpless if he encountered such a disease. If you get AIDS, you can only wait to die, and it will also make your family afraid and disgusted!
Without needing any instructions or words, Zhou Xuan immediately used his supernatural abilities to probe the young man, examining his physical condition and checking for any abnormalities in his blood.
In this young man's blood, his special abilities detected some unusual and abnormal cell molecules. Their activity level was not very high, but they were very stubborn, like grass. Even if you wipe off the top, it will still grow back from the ground!
He then tried to use his supernatural abilities to force out the pathogen molecules from the blood and cells. Although it was difficult, it was manageable. This was similar to the situation when he treated Old Master Wei's cancer. However, the AIDS pathogens were even more difficult to expel, but it wasn't impossible. Zhou Xuan tried it and immediately understood. Then he whispered to Old He, "Old He, I can cure this disease, but I would like to ask you to take all the credit. I am just assisting you in the treatment. Only you can do the actual work!"
Old He asked in surprise, "What do you mean? I can't cure this disease, and you want me to treat it? You watch, how can it be cured like this?"
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Old He, just use your method to treat him. Consider it an act. I have my own way. But whether now or in the future, Old He, you can only say that you treated him. You can't tell anyone else. That's all I can do. If Old He can't agree to this condition, then I can't treat him. Go back and let President Chen's son fend for himself!"
To be honest, most people are too scared to even look into AIDS.
However, since Zhou Xuan had said so, Lao He was still half-believing and half-doubting. Since he was already here, he could only do whatever Zhou Xuan said.
What Old He found strange was that Zhou Xuan was also a medical student. Which medical student wouldn't want to be famous? Wouldn't they want to become famous? Once you're famous, the fees for treating anyone will be different, and the greater your fame, the more wealthy people will come to treat you, and the money will naturally flow in!
Why does Zhou Xuan, who doesn't want to be famous, insist on giving credit to him for curing such a difficult, almost incurable disease?
