Urban Genius Divine Doctor

Chapter 87: Chapter 87: New Resources, New Protective Umbrella

"Principal Lu, Dr. Wang, hello. I’m Lou Yongyue!" A middle-aged man in his fifties, who appeared to be the leader of the group, came forward and extended his hand. "We had our people bring you here today because we’re hoping you can do us a favor."

After a simple handshake and greeting, the middle-aged man who introduced himself as Lou Yongyue got straight to the point.

This was a high-level sanatorium. Among the people recuperating here was a highly respected figure who had rendered great service to the nation. However, years of hardship and battle had taken their toll, leaving him with chronic illnesses. Despite various treatments, there had been no significant improvement.

After watching Wang Chenning’s livestream earlier today, they had contacted Lu Yuanshan to invite Wang Chenning over for a consultation, hoping he could work a miracle.

"Why don’t we see the patient first?" Wang Chenning, of course, wouldn’t make any explicit promises. After all, he hadn’t even seen the patient yet.

In medicine, no one can guarantee one hundred percent success. Wang Chenning never made absolute claims.

"Please, follow me." Lou Yongyue nodded and gestured for Wang Chenning and Lu Yuanshan to follow him.

Wang Chenning and Lu Yuanshan followed Lou Yongyue for a short distance to another small building.

In the garden in front of the small building, a man in his fifties was sitting leisurely, drinking tea and reading a newspaper.

Hearing voices and footsteps, he quickly looked up.

Wang Chenning was met with a very stern and imposing face. The man had an air of authority that commanded respect without anger, creating a palpable pressure.

"Old Ling!" Lou Yongyue greeted the imposing-looking middle-aged man with a smile. "How have you been feeling these past few days? Any improvement?"

"Ah, Old Lou!" The man called Old Ling chuckled and patted his leg. "I’m feeling a bit better. But with this broken body of mine, it hardly matters anymore."

"This is Wang Chenning, grandson of the great titan of traditional medicine, Wang Chongjiu. His medical skills are exceptional. We’ve invited him here today to take a look at you." Lou Yongyue pointed to Wang Chenning and Lu Yuanshan, introducing them. "And this is Mr. Lu Yuanshan, the Vice Principal of the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. He is Wang Chongjiu’s disciple. Between the two of them, uncle and nephew, I’m sure they can give us a pleasant surprise!"

Lou Yongyue went on to explain to Wang Chenning and Lu Yuanshan that Ling Weiguo had fought for the country for many years and sustained multiple injuries. The severity of these injuries had damaged his neurons, leading to poor motor coordination. He could no longer walk on his own. Despite trying various treatments, none had been effective in alleviating his symptoms.

"Oh, I remember now. You’re the young man who hangs out with Xiao’an!" Ling Weiguo said, a smile spreading across his face after studying Wang Chenning for a few moments. "I’ve heard Luo Yaqian mention you!"

This remark quite surprised Lou Yongyue, but he was tactful enough not to ask any further questions.

"Mr. Ling," Wang Chenning said with a smile, stepping forward and giving Ling Weiguo a slight bow. "Zhao Xiao’an and I are friends who’ve only recently met. This morning, we organized a live broadcast of on-site treatments for patients with difficult cases. As soon as the broadcast ended, Principal Lu brought me here. I didn’t expect you to know Xiao’an, Mr. Ling. If I’d known, I would have asked her to come along!"

"That girl? She’s bound to cause trouble if she comes. Better not to have her here!" Ling Weiguo said with a chuckle. "I’ve heard about you. Xiao’an even interviewed you. I originally didn’t believe someone so young could possess such exquisite medical skills, but since Xiao’an holds you in such high regard, I’ll give it a try!"

Then he turned to Lou Yongyue and said, "Old Lou, if Xiaowang actually cures me, won’t that be rather embarrassing for all of you?"

"Not at all!" Lou Yongyue laughed and shook his head. "Both Dean Zhang from Yandu Hospital and Principal Lu hold Xiaowang in such high esteem. A whole group of old men were practically begging to become his disciple. It’s rare for a reputation to be so well-deserved. I’m actually looking forward to Xiaowang proving us all wrong!"

After a couple of jokes, Lou Yongyue lowered his voice and said to Wang Chenning, "Old Ling was frequently injured when he was younger, quite severely a few times. Now that he’s older, the old wounds are showing signs of flaring up."

"His injuries have affected his neurons. If the condition is left to progress, nerve conduction will eventually fail to control his muscles, leading to problems with motor coordination. He’ll become unable to walk or move, confined to a bed. In a severe case, even his respiratory muscles could become paralyzed."

If his respiratory muscles become paralyzed, he won’t be able to breathe on his own and will need a ventilator. If phlegm builds up in his lungs, he won’t be able to cough it out, which could lead to death by suffocation.

The treatments they’ve tried so far can only slow the deterioration; they can’t offer a cure.

"I’ll give it a try," Wang Chenning said honestly. "But I can’t make any guarantees."

In truth, Wang Chenning didn’t need Lou Yongyue’s explanation. He had already observed Ling Weiguo’s motor impairments.

Ling Weiguo’s hand movements were still functional, but there was a noticeable difference compared to a healthy person.

His legs could no longer move on their own, meaning he couldn’t walk and had to rely on a wheelchair.

"It’s fine. I’ve already given up hope, anyway," Ling Weiguo said with a smile. "Compared to my comrades who are eternally resting in foreign lands, I’m lucky enough."

"I salute you," Wang Chenning said, looking quietly at Ling Weiguo. "In any era, those who fight for their country are heroes."

"Alright, enough idle talk. Let’s start with the examination," Ling Weiguo said with a couple of hearty laughs, extending his hand to Wang Chenning.

Wang Chenning took Ling Weiguo’s pulse, reviewed his various medical reports, and listened to his chief complaints, getting a fundamental understanding of his condition.

"I’ll start by treating you with my Wang family’s acupuncture technique. We’ll see what the effects are afterward. When it’s over, just tell me honestly how your body feels. Don’t hide anything, whether it’s comfortable or uncomfortable."

Ling Weiguo was very cooperative and lay down as Wang Chenning instructed.

Wang Chenning’s method for treating Ling Weiguo was different from the techniques he used on Luo Yuqing and Yang Xiaofei. The silver needles he used were also completely different.

The silver needles he selected were much thicker, and he focused the acupuncture primarily on the spine and head.

Furthermore, inserting each needle required much more effort.

The treatment lasted for nearly an hour. Ling Weiguo was drenched in sweat, and Wang Chenning’s back was soaked as well, leaving Lu Yuanshan and Lou Yongyue to watch, dumbfounded.

"I just used half my strength to treat you, Mr. Ling." Wang Chenning said as he removed the needles, asking Ling Weiguo, "I wonder what effects you’re feeling? Please don’t hide anything, just tell me honestly."

"It feels incredible. I haven’t felt this comfortable in years! It’s like all the discomfort is gone!" Ling Weiguo called over his secretary and a nurse to help him sit up. "Look! My hands are moving much more nimbly than before. And while my legs still can’t move, I can feel waves of warmth flowing through them. Young friend Chenning, your medical skills are truly amazing. I suddenly feel full of hope for my recovery!"

Then, he gave Wang Chenning a solemn bow. "Thank you so much!"

Seeing this, Lu Yuanshan let out a long sigh of relief.

’It actually worked!’

It seemed his gamble had paid off.

He was already thinking about what kind of resources Wang Chenning’s help today would earn them.

One thing was certain: both he and Wang Chenning had just gained a powerful safety charm...
