Mrs. Zhang was stunned. She was wondering if she had misheard.
‘This kid must be insane!’
It was uremia they were talking about! The only cure for it was a kidney transplant. The patient would still need to take medicine worth about a hundred thousand yuan every year after treatment.
She was not the only one who was surprised. Even Uncle Li was surprised too.
“Lil Tang, this disease is incredibly difficult to treat,” Uncle Li said.
“It’s just uremia, right? I’ve heard of it, and I know how to treat it,” Tang Hao said calmly.
Everyone was shocked when they heard that.
Even Uncle Li thought that Lil Tang was lying.
He knew that Tang Hao was expelled from high school, and he had never heard Tang Hao mention that he studied medicine. How could he possibly make such a claim?
Chapter 207 - Paying A Debt of Gratitude
After coming to her senses, Mrs. Zhang started laughing mockingly.
“That’s utter nonsense! Did you escape from some mental asylum? What makes you think that you can cure the illness? Do you think that you’re a child prodigy, or do you just have a wild imagination?”
Behind Mrs. Zhang, Zhang Xiaoyan was also looking at Tang Hao as she would look at a lunatic.
Li Bin and Auntie Zhang did not know how to react.
Both of them knew Tang Hao to be an honest and down-to-earth person. Why would he be boasting and lying?
“Are you OK, Lil Tang?” Li Bin asked out of concern.
Tang Hao broke into laughter when he saw their faces.
He would not have expected them to believe his claims anyway.
“You can get the doctors here if you don’t believe me. They know who I am!” Tang Hao said.
“Ha! The doctors would definitely know that you’re a lunatic!” Mrs. Zhang mocked.
She got up and pressed the beeper, then returned to her seat and looked mockingly at Tang Hao.
Tang Hao was a total lunatic in her eyes. Which sane person in this world would claim that they could cure uremia in a matter of days?
If he was not a lunatic, then he must be a con artist!
Soon. the door to the hospital room opened and a doctor in a white coat came in.
“Doctor, there’s a lunatic here! You’d better examine his head or even lock him up. I don’t feel safe when he’s in the room!” Mrs. Zhang grumbled as she pointed at Tang Hao.
The doctor was shocked. “Lunatic? Where did the lunatic come from?”
He then turned around and looked toward where Mrs. Zhang was pointing.
He discerned clearly who the person was, then his entire body stiffened in extreme surprise.
“That’s him! He’s the lunatic! He’s a very boastful one. He claims that he can cure uremia! Does he think that he’s a divine doctor?” Mrs. Zhang shrieked.
“That’s ridiculous! Isn’t he a lunatic?”
Her face displayed an expression of utter mockery.
However, what happened next caused her to be utterly dumbfounded.
The doctor suddenly smiled and greeted the person. “Divine Doctor Tang!’
Then, he walked toward him and eagerly shook his hands.
The doctor looked like he had seen an old friend. He even looked as though he admired the kid.
A doctor calling a teenager Divine Doctor?
That… That was the most ridiculous thing in the world!
She was not the only one who was dumbstruck. Even Uncle Li, Auntie Zhang, and Li Bin did not know what was going on.
Lil Tang dropped out of high school and was a delivery boy until three and a half months ago. How would he suddenly be a divine doctor?
‘Wait… Don’t tell me Lil Tang quit his job to become a con artist?’ Uncle Li thought about that and his expression changed.
He did not believe that in the few months since Tang Hao quit his job, he picked up medical skills and knew how to cure diseases. The only explanation was that he became an incredible con artist that could even fool the doctors in the hospital!
“Lil Tang, don’t tell me that you’ve become a con artist now?” Uncle Li said sternly.
Tang Hao broke into laughter when he heard that.
The doctor also laughed. “I’m afraid that you are mistaken, Sir. He’s not a con artist at all. He’s a true divine doctor. All the doctors in the hospital think so, too!”
Uncle Li was shocked when he heard that. He was not sure if he should believe the doctor’s claim.
It was too ridiculous!
The doctor turned and looked at Auntie Zhang on the bed. He even looked happy. “Are you going to cure this patient’s illness, Doctor Tang?”
Tang Hao nodded.
The doctor became even more excited. “How are you going to cure her?”
“This is easier than last time. I’ll use acupuncture followed by medication. She’ll be cured in a few days!” Tang Hao said.
“Acupuncture? That’s not very scientific, but I trust in your methods, Divine Doctor Tang!” The doctor said passionately. “Wait for me here. I’ll get the Hospital Director and the others to come.”
Then, the doctor dashed out of the room.
The people who remained in the room were stunned and did not come to their senses for a long while.
They felt as though they were in a dream.
‘Don’t tell me… this boy is actually a divine doctor? Why doesn’t he look like one?’
“Lil Tang, you…” Uncle Li said, still in a daze.
“Don’t worry, Uncle Li. I can cure Auntie Zhang’s disease! You’ve helped me during my most difficult times and gave me a job. I’ll be repaying my debt of gratitude to you today,” Tang Hao said.
Uncle Li’s jaw dropped and could not say anything.
Soon, footsteps were heard from the corridor outside. It sounded like a very large group of people.
A group of doctors in their white coats flooded into the room. All of them wore excited expressions on their faces.
“Divine Doctor Tang is here again!”
“If Divine Doctor Tang is here, that means the patient is saved!”
The group of doctors chatted and discussed among themselves, while some of them came over to shake hands with Tang Hao.
The people in the room were once again wide-eyed and slack-jawed when they saw the scene.
They were forced to admit that what Tang Hao said was true. He would not have been able to deceive so many doctors at once.
Mrs. Zhang, standing aside, felt ashamed of herself.
She had laughed at the boy and said that he was a lunatic. Who knew that he was a true divine doctor!
From what the doctors said, it seemed that there was a high chance of curing the disease. If that were the case, the Li family would have saved a lot of money.
She began to regret her decision earlier.
“Mr. Li, Divine Doctor Tang has amazing medical skills. With his help, I can say that your wife’s illness is all but cured. I would highly recommend that you allow him to treat your wife,” the hospital director told Uncle Li.
“Well… Alright then, I’ll let him try it!” Uncle Li said.
“I agree with it too. I trust Lil Tang,” Auntie Zhang said.
“Do you need anything, Lil Tang?” The hospital director asked Tang Hao.
“I need two nurses. That’s all,” Tang Hao replied.
“Alright! Let’s go outside and wait!”
The group of doctors went out of the room.
“It’s up to you, Lil Tang!” Uncle Li said as he firmly shook Tang Hao’s hands.
“Don’t worry!” Tang Hao said with a smile.
Everyone else left the room while two nurses came in.
Tang Hao walked toward the bed and retrieved his set of golden needles. “Don’t be nervous, Auntie Zhang. It’s just acupuncture. It won’t hurt a bit.”
Then, he instructed the nurses to lift Auntie Zhang’s shirt, exposing her abdomen.
Uremia was caused by declining kidney function. At that stage, one’s kidneys had already failed, and modern medical technology could not save them. The only possible cure was a kidney transplant.
However, Tang Hao had a way.
If the kidneys had failed, he only had to revive them.
He would stimulate the meridian points in her body, then channel qi into her body to revitalize the kidneys.
Acupuncture alone would not cure her uremia. He would also need to provide her with medicine to nourish the kidneys.
Chapter 208 - Back to First High Again
The atmosphere in the hospital room was tense.
Tang Hao stood in front of the bed. He gently picked up a golden needle and pierced Auntie Zhang’s abdomen with it.
Each golden needle pierced a meridian point. He gently spun each needle and channeled the qi in his body in Auntie Zhang’s body, which stimulated the meridian points and gradually repaired her kidneys.
Auntie Zhang’s kidneys were seriously damaged. Repairing them required a very long amount of time.
Tang Hao repeatedly twisted the golden needles and channeled qi through them.
Three hours later, the first signs of recovery were observed. He completed the procedure another hour later.
Auntie Zhang’s kidneys had recovered certain functions and were working again.
That was the most crucial step in the procedure. With the kidneys’ functions restored, the illness was all but cured. Modern medical technology could bring her kidneys back up to normal working condition.
With Tang Hao’s medicine, Auntie Zhang could recover even faster.
“Phew! I’m done!” Tang Hao breathed a sigh of relief after removing the golden needles.
“How do you feel now, Auntie Zhang?”
Auntie Zhang looked incredulous. “How did you do that, Lil Tang? My body feels especially energetic now.”
“That’s how it should be! I’ll send over some medicine tomorrow. You’ll be fully cured in a few days!”
After that, Tang Hao opened the door and went out.
“How is it, Divine Doctor Tang?” The doctors crowded around him and looked at him with anticipation.
“There’s no problem!” Tang Hao said with a smile, “You can examine her body.”
Uncle Li and Li Bin breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that. They were finally at ease.
“Go, go! Let’s check up on her!” The doctors rushed into the room.
Tang Hao walked toward Uncle Li. “The procedure went fine, Uncle Li. I’ll bring some medicine tomorrow. Auntie Zhang will be cured in a few days!”
Tears of gratitude welled up in Uncle Li’s eyes. He gripped Tang Hao’s hands tightly and said, “Thank you so much, Lil Tang!”
“Don’t mention it! I should be the one thanking you!” Tang Hao said with a smile.
“How much does it cost, Lil Tang?” Uncle Li asked.
“There’s no need for money!” Tang Hao shook his head urgently. “Didn’t I say that I’m repaying my debt of gratitude to you? I don’t want a cent from you! Furthermore, I’m not short of money now.”
Uncle Li hesitated for a while and accepted the offer.
“Lil Tang, you’re now…” After a while, Uncle Li asked somewhat curiously.
Tang Hao smiled. “I picked up some medical skills from an expert. I guess I’m considered half a doctor now!”
“Oh!” Uncle Li exclaimed in surprise. “You’re quite the accomplished young man, Lil Tang!”
Zhang Xiaoyan and Mrs. Zhang felt extremely regretful as they watched all that happen.
Now that Auntie Zhang was cured, the Li family did not have to spend their money on her treatment, which meant that they were still rich. Li Bin was a good boy with many positive characteristics and would have been the perfect husband for Zhang Xiaoyan.
Once news got out, the Zhang family would be disgraced.
“Well… Bin, how about if we… think through this a little more thoroughly? See, my Xiaoyan still likes you…” Mrs. Zhang said.
Li Bin smirked coldly. “That’s a very quick turnabout! You said earlier that we’re not a good match. Now that my mother is cured, we’re a good match again?
“Since you said that we’re not a good match, then it’s better that we break up. Remember to return the bridal gifts to us.”
Mrs. Zhang was shocked. “Why must you trouble yourself, Bin? Don’t you like Xiaoyan?”
“Not anymore!” Li Bin said coldly.
“Don’t worry, Brother Bin, I can introduce another woman to you. I have many beautiful single ladies in my company,” Tang Hao said.
“Your company?” Uncle Li was shocked.
“Oh! I started a company selling healthcare products,” Tang Hao said.
Uncle Li became very excited upon hearing that. “You’re so amazing now, Lil Tang! When you quit your job back then, I didn’t expect that you’d be accomplishing so many things in such a short time.”
Mrs. Zhang heard that and became even more regretful.
She wanted to say something, hesitated, then turned around and left the scene defeatedly.
The next day, Tang Hao delivered the medicine as promised.
Auntie Zhang would be fully cured in three or four days after taking the medicine.
As for Li Bin, Tang Hao introduced him to several single women in his company. It would be up to Li Bin if he could score himself a new girlfriend.
Li Bin was a fine young man. It would not be difficult for him to find a girlfriend.
Two days later, Tang Hao received a phone call from Vice Governor He.
“Lil Bro Tang! I’ve procured a spot for you at Z University. However, I need some personal information from you, and you’ll need to go to your high school to settle some paperwork.”
“Alright!” Tang Hao replied.
They chatted for a while more before Tang Hao ended the call.
“I’ll have to go back to First High! Right, I ought to visit Yan’er. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen her. I wonder how she is now?” Tang Hao mumbled.
He gave a call to Yan’er after that.
Phones were not allowed during school hours. It was already in the afternoon, so there should be no problem.
The phone call was answered a while later.
Yan’er’s chirpy voice was heard from the other end of the phone.
“Hello! Brother Hao!”
Tang Hao was reminded of Shi Yan’er pure and cute face when he heard her voice.
Yan’er beautiful was unique from Sis Xiangyi or Assistant Han. She was still young and looked pure. Her innocent smile had mysterious healing powers.
“What are you doing now, Yan’er?” Tang Hao said.
“I just had lunch, and I’m taking a walk! You haven’t called me for a long time, Brother Hao. Is there anything?” Yan’er said excitedly.
“I’ll be going to First High soon to settle some paperwork. I’d like to meet you since I’m there!” Tang Hao said.
“Really?” Yan’er exclaimed. She sounded incredibly excited.
“Yup! I’ll be there in a while. I’m just letting you know,” Tang Hao said.
“Alright! Call me when you’re here.”
“Sure!”
After he ended the call, Tang Hao rode in his car and drove to First High.
Tang Hao parked the car at the entrance of First High and went into the school compound.
He gave Yan’er a call.
“I’m still in the dorm, Brother Hao. You’ll have to wait for a while longer,” Yan’er said apologetically.
Tang Hao was surprised, then understood that she went back to the dorm to change her clothes.
He smiled. “Alright! I’ll be waiting for you right outside your dorm.”
He ended the call, then walked toward the female dormitory. Then, he leaned against a tree and waited.
About three minutes later, a beautiful figure emerged from within the dormitory building.
S
he wore a black pleated skirt. Under the exquisite and delicate folds of the skirt was a pair of long, slender, and fair legs.
Her body was tall and curvy, and her long hair bobbed like flowing water when she walked.
The most attractive aspect of all was her pure face. Her eyes were bright, her teeth were flawless, and her eyebrows looked like brush strokes. Her beauty was breathtaking.
Chapter 209 - Honorary Alumnus
The beautiful figure slowly walked out of the building.
Her jet-black hair bobbed like flowing water and the hem of her skirt fluttered in the wind. Her beauty was breathtaking.
The other female students who were passing by were stunned by her appearance. Their faces displayed expressions of admiration or envy.
“Isn’t that Shi Yan’er? She’s usually in her school clothes. Why did she dress up today?” Some of the female students mumbled.
Everyone in First High knew who the pure beauty queen was.
Yan’er stepped out of the entrance of the dormitory building. She looked around and saw the familiar figure standing under a tree. Her beautiful eyes sparkled.
She quickly walked over. A charming smile appeared on her face.
“Brother Hao!” She greeted Tang Hao with a sweet voice when she came over.
The female students all around were shocked when they heard that.
“Who’s that guy?”
Gossip started to spread among the girls like wildfire.
Their eyes were focused on the somewhat handsome boy in a white button-down shirt standing under the tree.
“I don’t think I’ve seen him before!”
The female students whispered among each other.
Suddenly, someone shouted excitedly. “That’s him! The beauty queen’s boyfriend!”
The surroundings went silent for a while, then everyone exclaimed in surprise.
The girls heard about the gossip that the beauty queen had a boyfriend who was a legend in First High.
