Gao Jianfei thought to himself that while he couldn't possibly charge Xianyu Yan for her medical treatment, it couldn't be considered a one-sided act of charity either. Gao Jianfei was doing a task to earn experience points!
Upon seeing Xianyu Yan's radiant, shy face and eyes, Gao Jianfei couldn't help but have a thought flash through his mind... "If I were to ask Xianyu Yan to do 'that' with me after she recovers, she would definitely be willing. Ugh, how could I have such a wicked thought? It seems that despite learning so many skills, I'm still a mortal at heart!"
Just as Gao Jianfei was carefully treating Xianyu Yan's illness, a silver-white Lexus sedan drove directly onto the flat ground outside Gao Jianfei's clinic.
Several people got off the bus.
First, Mayor Zuo Qing and District Chief Hua carefully helped a thin, frail old man out of the car. As soon as they helped him down, District Chief Hua carried him on his back, saying, "Grandpa, please bear with it a little longer. The miracle doctor will treat you soon!"
Mayor Zuo gave District Chief Hua an approving look and nodded.
District Chief Hua was utterly flattered. "Mayor, we've arrived at the clinic, let's go in!"
Mayor Zuo nodded, and his wife, Mo Wenhui, also got out of the car. Mayor Zuo said to the driver, "Xiao Niu, you drive back first. Other comrades also need the car. We won't make any special arrangements. I'll call you when I need the car later."
Soon, the Lexus slowly drove out of the village.
Mayor Zuo's gaze sharpened as he looked at Gao Jianfei's clinic. His reaction was the same as District Chief Hua's yesterday; he frowned and murmured with some disappointment, "The Butterfly Valley Physician? This is truly... oh well, what the heck... let's try anything!"
The group went directly into the clinic.
Mayor Zuo and Mo Wenhui were somewhat bewildered. They only saw a large glass partition separating the clinic, but not a single medical staff member!
I also did not see any business license or physician qualification certificate displayed in the clinic.
Mo Wenhui, the director of the D City Administration for Industry and Commerce, blurted out out of professional instinct, "Old Zuo, it can't be... it can't be practicing medicine without a license, can it?"
Zuo Qing's eyes began to turn cold and sharp. He whispered to District Chief Hua, who had his back to Old Master Zuo, "This is the clinic of your so-called miracle doctor?"
Cold sweat beaded on Hua's forehead, but he firmly believed that today would be the day that would change his career!
District Chief Hua gave Zuo Qing a forced smile, then called out through the hole in the glass window, “Miracle Doctor! Hello, I’m the patient you treated for frozen shoulder yesterday. Today, I brought an elderly man here for treatment. Please help him. He’s a veteran of the Red Army, highly respected, and is currently suffering from severe pain…”
District Chief Hua knew Gao Jianfei's temper, so he didn't dare to act recklessly. He simply pleaded in an almost humble tone.
Gao Jianfei's treatment of Xianyu Yan was nearing its end. He gestured for Xianyu Yan to stay still and looked out the glass window... two middle-aged men. One was the man who had come for shoulder pain treatment yesterday, carrying a dying old man on his back; the other was a slightly overweight, handsome, and imposing middle-aged man! Definitely not an ordinary person! There was also a middle-aged woman, whose spirit and demeanor were also far from ordinary!
Gao Jianfei smiled to himself... "Great! My clinic has only been open for a few days, and sure enough, patients are coming in one after another!"
Gao Jianfei called out to the outside in a very serious tone, "I am treating a patient. Please be quiet and wait outside."
“Uh…” Having experienced Gao Jianfei’s temper before, District Chief Hua couldn’t help but turn to look at Mayor Zuo and his wife.
Mayor Zuo's face had turned somewhat pale!
Just then, Old Master Zuo let out a few groans. Clearly, he was suffering greatly from his illness!
Mayor Zuo panicked and rushed over, speaking into the glass, "Hello, doctor, I am Zuo Qing, the mayor of D City. My father's condition is very serious, and I hope you can treat him as soon as possible!"
Zuo Qing directly brought up his official position!
You want him to wait? Wait in this situation? What's the point of him waiting?!
"Hmm? Zuo Qing? Zuo Qing's father?" Gao Jianfei murmured, then suddenly remembered... Damn it! Among the level 5 healing quests I accepted, wasn't one of them related to Zuo Qing's father, the mayor of D City?
A quest worth 50,000 experience points!
This is a huge task!
Gao Jianfei was overjoyed!
Treating Xianyu Yan only yielded 7,000 experience points! But treating Zuo Qing's father gave a whopping 50,000 experience points!
Originally, Gao Jianfei thought that he probably wouldn't be able to find an effective way to treat his father, the mayor of D City, for the time being!
D City is a provincial capital, and its mayor's position is equivalent to that of a provincial governor!
If you were to volunteer to treat the father of someone in such a high position, would he agree? He would absolutely kick you out!
Now look what's happened, they've come to us on their own initiative!
Gao Jianfei said "Oh" to the glass window, then looked at the time on his phone and smiled at Xianyu Yan, "Perfect timing, it's time for your treatment today. I've prepared a few packets of traditional Chinese medicine for you. Go home and decoct them. Come back tomorrow, and you'll be fully recovered."
Afterwards, Gao Jianfei opened the clinic door and saw Xianyu Yan out. Then, he welcomed Zuo Qing, District Chief Hua, and the rest of the group into the consultation room.
"Miracle Doctor! Hello!" District Chief Hua greeted Gao Jianfei respectfully.
Gao Jianfei glanced at the old man's complexion as he carried District Chief Hua, and frowned, saying, "Put him down quickly and let him sit in this rattan chair." Gao Jianfei could tell at a glance that if this old man continued to drag on like this, he probably wouldn't have more than half a month to live!
District Chief Hua carefully placed Old Master Zuo on a soft rattan chair.
The old man was breathing with slight difficulty, his facial muscles were twitching, there was cold sweat on his forehead, and his mouth kept opening and closing, as if he was in great pain, which was devouring every cell of his body!
The old man was in a semi-comatose state, his eyes were closed, and he couldn't say a word!
"Doctor, please take a look!" Zuo Qing said anxiously to Gao Jianfei. And indeed, his eyes held immense suspicion as he looked at Gao Jianfei.
Gao Jianfei, a young man whose age is definitely no more than 25, judging from his appearance!
Moreover, Gao Jianfei was dressed in high-end clothes, but he wasn't even wearing a white coat... This was completely out of place for a "miracle doctor"!
Mo Wenhui also shook her head and sighed.
Then, Zuo Qing glared sharply at District Chief Hua, the unspoken message being... You old Hua, are you kidding me? This is a miracle doctor? Miracle my ass!
Chapter 239 Get Your Sister!
Chapter 239 Get Your Sister!
Gao Jianfei completely disregarded the cold, disdainful, and suspicious attitude of Zuo Qing and his wife.
Gao Jianfei was quite ethical as a doctor. Now that the patient had been brought in, all his attention was focused on the patient.
The patient must come first!
Besides, this is a healing session that costs 5 experience points!
Gao Jianfei moved a stool and sat opposite Old Master Zuo. He gently lifted Old Master Zuo's right wrist and used three fingers to place his wrist pulse.
Gao Jianfei's posture and expression while taking a pulse were quite accurate.
After this, Zuo Qing and his wife, though filled with suspicion and resentment, dared not utter a sound, held their breath, and looked at Gao Jianfei.
District Chief Hua looked at Gao Jianfei nervously, not daring to utter a sound. He had only one thought in his mind… Divine Doctor! My entire career in politics is pinned on you! Please don't say anything like "it can't be cured" or "there's no way"! Divine Doctor, you must rise up!
For a moment, the entire clinic was unusually quiet, with only the intermittent, weak groans of Old Master Zuo.
Two minutes later, Gao Jianfei opened his eyes and said, "Judging from the old man's pulse, he has at most half a month to live. Moreover, during these two weeks, he will suffer extremely painful torment every day! The old man cannot speak or cry out in pain, so it will seem that the pain he suffers is relatively weak. But I must tell you, even a strong man cannot withstand the torment of this disease; he would cry out in pain. The old man is enduring it entirely through willpower!"
"This..." The eyes of Zuo Qing and his wife immediately reddened. Zuo Qing said in a trembling voice, "Doctor, the hospital has told me all of this. Now, I want a result: do you have a solution for my father's illness, or no solution?"
Gao Jianfei revealing Old Master Zuo's lifespan wasn't surprising to Zuo Qing, as this was information already relayed to him and his family by the hospital. Most people who visited Old Master Zuo in the hospital also knew this. Therefore, Gao Jianfei likely overheard this from someone else.
Gao Jianfei ignored Zuo Qing and continued listening to Old Master Zuo's pulse, muttering to himself, "Early-stage liver cancer, early-stage lung cancer, bilateral kidney failure, arrhythmia, cardiovascular sclerosis, coronary heart disease, early-stage rectal cancer, abnormally slow metabolism throughout the body..."
Every time Gao Jianfei said something, Zuo Qing and his wife would tremble.
What Gao Jianfei said is exactly the same as the medical records that the hospital gave to Zuo Qing and his family!
Zuo Qing had never shown the medical record to any outsiders, but now Gao Jianfei had recounted it in detail, as if he had seen the medical record with his own eyes!
This completely shocked Zuo Qing and his wife! They were utterly stunned!
"Doctor...you...you...do you have a treatment plan?" Instantly, Zuo Qing's attitude towards Gao Jianfei underwent a complete 180-degree turn! He even began to address Gao Jianfei with respect!
Gao Jianfei sighed, "My medical skills are not good enough."
Upon hearing this, Zuo Qing and his wife, as well as District Chief Hua, felt their hearts sink.
"I really have no choice," Gao Jianfei said with a wry smile.
Zuo Qing and his companions' hearts continued to sink.
"With so many ailments on one person, any doctor in the world would have a headache," Gao Jianfei continued.
Zuo Qing and his companions were utterly devastated.
"I can only extend the old man's life by a maximum of five years," Gao Jianfei shrugged helplessly. "To cure the old man, I, a quack doctor, have no way, no ability. Extending his life by five years, allowing him to spend the rest of his life peacefully and happily, no longer suffering from illness... that's my limit!"
"ah?!"
What is meant by the transition from great joy to great sorrow?
After hearing Gao Jianfei's words, Zuo Qing and the other two, whose hearts had sunk to the bottom, suddenly felt their spirits rise again!
Their faces turned red!
With just a few simple words, Gao Jianfei manipulated the emotions of these three officials of considerable status in D City.
Of course, this wasn't just Gao Jianfei playing a prank. He mainly wanted to tell the Zuo family... "Don't push your luck and try to find a doctor in this world who can completely restore the old man to normal. That's impossible! It will only extend his life by a few years!"
Zuo Qing rushed over and grabbed Gao Jianfei's shoulders!
"Doctor! You...you're telling the truth? Extend my dad's life by 5 years? It really can extend my dad's life by 5 years?" He was like a drowning person grasping at a straw, his emotions completely out of control!
Originally, Zuo Qing's biggest goal was to ensure that his father could live out his remaining years without illness! With his family by his side, he could speak and eat, and die happily.
He didn't dare to even hope to extend his life!
However, Gao Jianfei dropped a bombshell... extending lifespan by 5 years!
The couple, Zuo Qing and his wife, are on the verge of an emotional breakdown!
Of course, this is not a collapse of pain and despair, but rather a collapse of joy!
As for District Chief Hua, he thanked Jesus, the Jade Emperor, Guanyin Bodhisattva, and Buddha in his heart, and thanked Gao Jianfei's ancestors for dozens of generations... Once the miracle doctor extended the old man's life by a few years, wouldn't he, as the recommender, rise to prominence from then on?
This is an immense favor! For the Zuo family, it is an immense favor!
Gao Jianfei smiled and waited until Zuo Qing and the others calmed down before saying, "I said I could extend the old man's life by five years, and I'm definitely confident. However, extending the old man's life is a very complicated task, and it also requires some special medicinal materials. In short, I will do my best! Alright, don't say any more now, I'll start treating the old man right away!" As he spoke, Gao Jianfei stood up, went to the drawer, took out a set of silver needles, and then washed his hands repeatedly with hand sanitizer under the tap, as if he was preparing something.
Indeed, Gao Jianfei was brewing it.
When it comes to prolonging the old man's life, the acupuncture technique must be executed with the utmost care. There can be absolutely no deviation whatsoever; even a fraction too much or too little pressure will not work.
Although Gao Jianfei's medical skills were superb, he dared not be careless!
It took me 10 minutes to wash my hands!
Then, Gao Jianfei sat opposite the old man, took a deep breath, and inserted three silver needles into three acupoints on the old man's head.
After inserting the three silver needles, Gao Jianfei did not continue. Instead, he looked directly at the old man and said softly, "Grandpa, try to open your eyes now. Yes, open your eyes."
The old man was extremely weak; he hadn't opened his eyes for days, as if he had lost even the strength to do so! But now, he... miraculously opened his eyes again!
And, haltingly, she said, "Doctor... give me a quick death! I... I... I don't want to drag this out... I don't want to drag this out any longer..."
Not only did it open its eyes, it also spoke! And it said a whole sentence!
