‘What incredible technique!’ She thought as she felt a warm current course through her body, causing something within her to change. That feeling was too amazing for words!
After three minutes of gentle massaging, Tang Hao retracted his hands.
“It’s done!” Tang Hao said as he gently exhaled.
Zhao Qingxue was shocked. She wanted more.
Chapter 156 - Leukemia
“That’s it?” Zhao Qingxue blurted. She did not want it to be over.
She realized that her question was quite inappropriate, and a blush appeared on her face.
However, that short massage session was too comfortable. The hands that were on her back were almost magical.
She could feel that her body is incredibly relaxed. Also, her previously lethargic body was filled with energy.
“That’s too amazing!” She muttered to herself.
She turned around, then grabbed Tang Hao’s hands to inspect them closely.
“What are you doing!” Tang Hao said alarmedly. He also felt a little awkward.
Zhao Qingxue’s hands were fair and soft. They could be considered the perfect pair of hands. Her skin felt warm and gentle.
“Your hands look quite good,” Zhao Qingxue muttered to herself after inspecting Tang Hao’s hands for a long time.
“Hey! What techniques did you use? How can the massage feel so incredible?” She lifted her head and stared unblinkingly at Tang Hao.
Tang Hao smiled awkwardly. “It’s a massage technique that I’ve devised, and I’m glad that you’ve found it incredible. Do you feel better now, Officer Zhao? Are you filled with energy?”
Zhao Qingxue nodded.
“That’s good to know. Remember, you shouldn’t wear your bra too tightly…”
As he spoke, Tang Hao’s eyes naturally gravitated toward her chest.
Zhao Qingxue’s face turned bright red when she noticed where Tang Hao was looking. She glared at him.
“I know that alright! By the way, you’re pretty capable! I bet the other Taoist masters know weird things like that,” she said impatiently.
Tang Hao was speechless.
Why did everyone think that he was a Taoist master? What did she mean by ‘weird things’?
“Right, this is for you!” Zhao Qingxue took out a hundred-yuan note from her purse and gave it to Tang Hao.
“There’s no need!” Tang Hao said.
“Take it!” Zhao Qingxue said insistently and shoved the money into Tang Hao’s hands.
Tang Hao kept the money in his pocket and stood up from the couch. “I’ll… I’ll be off then!”
Zhao Qingxue also stood up and sent Tang Hao off at the door.
At the stairs, she seemed to have suddenly remembered something. “Hey! Wait!”
“What’s wrong?” Tang Hao was surprised. He stopped walking and turned around to look at her.
“Your medical skills… How incredible are they? I heard that you saved Secretary Lin’s son and Old Master He.”
“It’s not bad!” Tang Hao said humbly.
“I’d like you to examine a patient for me,” Zhao Qingxue said after some hesitation.
Tang Hao was surprised. “What disease?”
“It’s leukemia!” Zhao Qingxue said.
Tang Hao furrowed his brows.
He knew about leukemia. It was the cancer of the blood and a very scary disease. Chances of a full recovery were minute.
Zhao Qingxue noticed Tang Hao’s hesitation and looked crestfallen.
Even so, she handled her disappointment rather well. Leukemia was not a typical disease. The latest medical technology could not cure it. She should not have put her hopes in Tang Hao.
She smiled apologetically. “Sorry for asking. Never mind then!” Then, she turned around and was about to go back to her house.
Suddenly, Tang Hao opened his mouth. “Wait a second, Officer Zhao. You can tell me more about the patient. Leukemia is a tricky disease to treat, but it’s not impossible to fully cure it.”
Tang Hao would have been helpless if he was asked the question earlier. Things were different now. With his knowledge and experience in pill-making, he could make any medical pill to cure any earthly disease, given that all the appropriate ingredients were gathered.
“Really?” Zhao Qingxue’s face lit up with joy. She felt that it was a little hard to believe.
“There’s hope. That’s all I can say!” Tang Hao said.
Tang Hao did not want to promise a cure before he had made a diagnosis. Furthermore, it was very difficult to make medical pills. Tang Hao was not confident that he could produce a pill with the necessary potency.
“I’ll have to see the patient first before I can say for sure, ” Tang Hao said.
If the cancer was at an early stage, he could cure it without using medical pills. However, if the cancer was already in its late stages, he needed medical pills to cure it.
“Oh! She’s at the First Public Hospital. I can take you there!”
“Alright!” Tang hao nodded.
Both of them rode in Zhao Qingxue’s car and went to First Public Hospital.
Soon, Tang Hao met the patient in the hospital room.
The patient was a young girl. She had a thin and bony body and a pale and sickly face.
Tang Hao frowned when he saw her.
Just by looking, he could tell that her situation was not looking good.
“Her name is Zhou Xin, and she’s seven years old. Her father was a police officer, but he lost his life on the job several years ago. Now, Lil Xin’er lives with her mom.
“Life is already hard enough for them, and it’s only becoming worse with Lil Xin’er’s disease. Treating the disease needs a lot of money and their family can’t afford it. The police station and our colleagues have been raising money for her.
“Lil Xin’er used to be very cute and active. She’s also very smart, but now…”
Zhao Qingxue felt a lump in her throat and tears welling in her eyes.
Looking at the sickly girl on the hospital bed, she could not hold back her emotions anymore and started sobbing.
Tang Hao was silent.
Nothing tortured the mind and soul like a chronic disease.
“The doctor says that there’s no hope for a full recovery. Current treatments can only prolong her life, and even so, it wouldn’t last for long,” Zhao Qingxue said softly.
Tang Hao looked at her and smiled.
“What are you smiling about? There’s nothing funny about this!” Zhao Qingxue said angrily.
“I’m just surprised that you have a sentimental side, Officer Zhao!” Tang Hao said.
“What do you mean!” Zhao Qingxue said impatiently.
“Wipe your tears! You’re embarrassing yourself.” Tang Hao said as he passed a pack of tissues to her.
Zhao Qingxue was surprised. She pulled several tissues out of the pack and wiped her face.
Tang Hao went next to the hospital bed. He felt sorry for the girl there.
“I’ll try my best!” Tang Hao mumbled to himself. Then, he gently pressed two fingers on the girl’s wrist.
In a short while, he had a diagnosis of the girl’s condition.
At that time, footsteps were heard outside the room.
The door opened, and a young and tall doctor in a coat came in.
The doctor noticed Tang Hao standing next to the bed and anger flashed on his face. “What are you doing? Don’t you know that you shouldn’t touch the patient?” He chided.
He turned to see Zhao Qingxue also in the room and was shocked. “Why are you here too, Qingxue?” He blurted.
Suddenly, his eyes sparked to life, and his gaze upon Zhao Qingxue became passionate.
Chapter 157 - Senior Doctor Chen Is Here
“Doctor Zhang!” Zhao Qingxue greeted him. Her brows were slightly furrowed.
“You’re here, Qingxue!”
Doctor Zhang walked over with a friendly smile on his face. He then turne
d to glance at Tang Hao. “Who is he, Qingxue? I’ve never seen him before,” he said somewhat unhappily.
“Do you have any common sense? You can’t touch the patient as you like! Stay away from her!” Doctor Zhang brusquely while pointing at Tang Hao.
Tang Hao furrowed his brows. He did not reply to the doctor but instead took several steps back.
“Doctor Zhang, I’ve invited him here to take a look at Lil Xin’er,” Zhao Qingxue said.
Doctor Zhang was surprised. “What’s there to look at?” He asked.
“He knows some medical skills,” Zhao Qingxue replied awkwardly.
Doctor Zhang burst out laughing when he heard that. “You must be joking, Qingxue! Look at him! How old can he be? He’s probably just a college freshman. What can he know?”
He thought that Zhao Qingxue was joking with him.
Zhao Qingxue furrowed her brows and looked unhappy. “I’m serious, Doctor Zhang. He knows medical skills!”
Doctor Zhang glanced at Tang Hao and chuckled. “He knows medical skills? What a joke! Don’t tell me he’s a Chinese physician!”
“I guess he counts as one!” Zhao Qingxue said.
Doctor Zhang’s face immediately darkened. “Ha! He’s a con artist! Qingxue, how can you trust unlicensed doctors like him? He must be here to scam you of your money. I’ve seen this happen too many times,” he said with a smirk.
“It’s my first time seeing such a young scammer though!” He said as he glared coldly at Tang Hao.
Zhao Qingxue frowned. “Don’t assume things, Doctor Zhang. He’s not a con artist.”
“Why are you siding with him, Qingxue? Are you muddled? Does he look like he’s a medical practitioner? Furthermore, you should know that this is leukemia we’re talking about, and there’s no cure for it. Why would you believe his lies?
“No matter how skillful a Chinese physician might be, he cannot cure leukemia!” Doctor Zhang tried to be helpful.
Then, he pointed a finger at Tang Hao and shouted angrily, “Get out of this room now! Otherwise, I’ll call the security!”
“Just let him take a look at the patient, Doctor Zhang!” Zhao Qingxue said frantically.
“You still believe in this scammer? Get out of this hospital now!” Doctor Zhang stepped toward Tang Hao as he yelled.
“Wait!”
Zhao Qingxue ran in front of Tang Hao and blocked him.
Her body was inches away from Tang Hao.
“Don’t go. We’ll only leave after you’re done with your diagnosis!” She told Tang Hao.
Doctor Zhang’s eyes flashed with envy when he saw that.
His expression became ghastlier than ever. “What are you doing, Qingxue? This is a hospital!”
“You doctors can’t cure her anyway. Might as well let him treat her. There might still be hope!” Zhao Qingxue said coldly.
Doctor Zhang laughed out of anger. “Yes, we can’t cure her! But this is leukemia we’re talking about! Is there any doctor in this world that can cure it? Much less this unlicensed con artist?
“There’s no hope for Xin’er, but at least we can keep her alive for some time. If you let him treat Xin’er, I don’t think she’ll survive past two weeks. You’re harming Xin’er, Qingxue!” Doctor Zhang roared agitatedly.
Tang Hao finally opened his mouth.
“Doctor Zhang, right? Who says that leukemia can’t be cured? I can cure Xin’er!”
Doctor Zhang and Zhao Qingxue were stunned by his words.
Zhao Qingxue looked ecstatic. “Really?” She blurted.
“Yes! But I’m only about seventy percent confident though!” Tang Hao said.
“Seventy percent? Haha!” Doctor Zhang laughed out loud.
To him, that was the funniest joke in the world!
A kid of about eighteen said that he could treat leukemia? With a seventy percent confidence? Was that not a joke?
Everyone knew that leukemia, otherwise known as cancer of the blood, was very difficult if not impossible to cure.
‘What’s wrong with this kid? Is he crazy, or is he a brazen liar?’ Doctor Zhang thought to himself.
“That’s a good one, kid! You have thick skin! Alright, you just wait here while I get the security to throw you out of the hospital. If you dare step into the hospital again, I’ll throw you out just the same!” Doctor Zhang said fiercely.
Then, he stepped out of the hospital room and shouted toward the end of the corridor. “Get me the security guards!”
He returned to the room and smirked at Tang Hao.
Tang Hao was impassive. “You seem to have a biased opinion of me, Doctor Zhang!” He said calmly.
“Biased opinion? Aren’t you just a con artist?” Doctor Zhang said angrily.
“Do you know Senior Doctor Chen?” Tang Hao said.
“Senior Doctor Chen?” Doctor Zhang was surprised. He thought about it and recalled that there was only one senior doctor in the hospital whose surname was Chen. He was a famous neurologist.
“Of course I know him, he’s my senior too! What about it?” Doctor Zhang said.
“You can call him over, and he can judge if I’m a con artist!” Tang Hao said.
“Ha! Don’t tell me you know Senior Doctor Chen too!” Doctor Zhang laughed with disdain.
In his eyes, the kid must be bluffing. How would a con artist like him be acquainted with Senior Doctor Chen?
“Do you think that I won’t get him to come here? Alright, I’ll call your bluff! Let’s see what you can do when he’s here!”
Then, he stepped out of the room again and yelled, “Get me Senior Doctor Chen here! Tell him it’s urgent.”
“Tang Hao, do you really know Senior Doctor Chen?” She asked uneasily.
“Don’t worry! We’re more than acquaintances!” Tang Hao said calmly.
The two people were whispering to each other and looked very intimate. Doctor Zhang became angrier when he saw that.
He did not think that they were a couple, but he was envious anyway, looking at how close the two people were.
A few minutes later, footsteps were heard on the corridor.
Two security guards came into the room.
“What happened, Doctor Zhang?”
“It’s good that you’re here. Quick! Throw this guy out! He’s a con artist!” Doctor Zhang said as he pointed at Tang Hao.
“What? A con artist?” The security guards became angry. They rolled up their sleeves as they walked toward Tang Hao.
Just then, they heard a voice coming from the corridor. “Who’s the con artist? What’s going on?”
That voice belonged to Senior Doctor Chen.
Soon, Senior Doctor Chen appeared at the door.
“Senior Doctor Chen! Don’t you know that there’s a con artist here? He’s very boastful too! He says that he knows how to cure leukemia. Don’t you find that funny?” Doctor Zhang said.
Senior Doctor Chen laughed when he heard that.
“What an interesting character! Is leukemia that easily treatable? Right, which one is it? I want to meet this joker myself!”
“That’s him!” Doctor Zhang roared and pointed at Tang Hao.
Senior Doctor Chen looked in the direction where Doctor Zhang pointed, and the smile on his face froze.
Chapter 158 - The True Divine Doctor
“Di… Divine Doctor Tang!” Senior Doctor Chen blurted in extreme shock with an incredulous expression on his face.
He did not expect the so-called ‘con artist’ was actually Divine Doctor Tang!
Then, feeling ashamed of himself, his face turned bright red. He was prepared to laugh at the con artist who was going to make a fool of himself.
He was not a con artist at all! In fact, he was a divine doctor!
Doctor Zhang was stunned by Senior Doctor Chen’s reaction. He did not know what was going on.
‘Did Senior Doctor Chen call that kid a divine doctor? That’s impossible! Right, that ‘Divine Doctor’ must be what the kid calls himself.
‘It looks like the con artist is a regular here. Even Senior Doctor Chen knows him.’
His disdain grew as thoughts raced past his mind.
Suddenly, Senior Doctor Chen’s shocked expression turned into a smiling face. He stepped around Zhao Qingxue, then grabbed Tang Hao’s hand and shook it eagerly.
“Ah, Divine Doctor Tang! It’s been a long time since we last met! I’ve been thinking about you. I didn’t expect to see you here today! Haha! This must be fate!
“Leukemia… right? It’s very hard to cure indeed, and there’s almost no hope of recovery. However, I believe that if you, Divine Doctor Tang, can show us your skills, there should be no problem.”
Senior Doctor Chen laughed heartily as he continued shaking Tang Hao’s hand.
He was extremely excited at that moment.
There was no scientific explanation for Divine Doctor Tang’s skills. One could almost call them miracles.
The first time, he had used acupuncture to restore consciousness to a comatose person. That had already caused him to be shaken beyond belief. The second time was even more amazing: With acupuncture, he had pulled a dying old man back from death’s door and extended his life by three years.
The medical skills he had witnessed had exceeded his imagination.
This time, Divine Doctor Tang said that he was confident of curing leukemia, the cancer of the blood. He was incredibly excited to see what he could do.
Meanwhile, Doctor Zhang was utterly dumbfounded.
He stood on the spot. His eyes were lifeless and his mind was blank.
He could not believe what was going on in front of him.
‘Why would the senior doctor of a department, who is also incredibly famous, be so friendly toward a con artist? Unless… Senior Doctor Chen has also gone mad?
‘If he isn’t mad… why would he say something like that?’
Not only Doctor Zhang was confused. Even Zhao Qingxue was clueless about what was going on.
She stared at Senior Doctor Chen and found his words hard to believe.
‘Oh my god! Isn’t this Chen guy a famous doctor? Why is he so chummy with that Tang kid? He looks like he admires him too!’
