“I see . We should invite him for a proper meal,” said Sha Zhihua .
“You are right, I’ll call him,” said Zhou Xiong, who also wanted to express his gratitude to Wang Yao .
As they were talking, the doorbell rang .
“That should be him,” said Zhou Xiong .
He opened the door, and saw Wang Yao standing there .
“We were just talking about you, please come in,” said Zhou Xiong .
“What did you talk about?” asked Wang Yao with a smile .
“We want to invite you for dinner to express our gratitude,” said Zhou Xiong .
“You don’t need to, but thank you,” said Wang Yao .
After greeting to one another, Wang Yao had a look at Zhou Wuyi and gave him another treatment . The treatment went well . Zhou Wuyi was one step closer to a full recovery .
“Everything is going well . You are recovering well,” said Wang Yao .
“Okay, thanks,” said Zhou Wuyi, smiling .
“You seem to be more calm now,” said Wang Yao .
“Yes, I took your advice and have read several scriptures, from which I gained a lot,” said Zhou Wuyi .
He was telling the truth . At the beginning he found the scriptures too boring . However, he forced himself to read the scriptures several times every day . After a few days, he noticed the change in his mood .
“You will gain more if you can continue to read the scriptures,” said Wang Yao, smiling .
A calm mind and positive attitude were helpful in one’s recovery from any illness .
Wang Yao turned down Zhou Xiong’s invitation for dinner, and drove back to the village at 4pm .
“Hmmm, how come he is still not here?” A business van was parking outside Wang Yao’s clinic . Three people sat inside the vehicle, two men and one woman .
“Is this doctor reliable?” asked one of the men .
“I’ve spoken to a number of people . They all told me that although the doctor was very young, he was fantastic and absolutely reliable,” said the other man .

“Didn’t you see the sign on his door? It says he’s out,” said the woman .
“Yes, let’s wait for another half an hour . We’ll leave then if he doesn’t come back,” said one of the men .
“Maybe we should go to a proper hospital,” said the other man .
“Go to a proper hospital? What can we explain to the doctors there? You’ll end up in that horrible place,” said the woman .
A new patient? Wang Yao saw the vehicle parked next to his clinic .
Who would come at this time of the day?
He had a glance at the time, then parked his car before he unlocked the door of his clinic .
“Hey, look, he’s back!” said one of the men .
“Is that the doctor?” asked the other man .
“I think so, let’s go and ask him,” said the woman .
“Do you guys come to see me?” asked Wang Yao .
“Yes,” said one of the men .
“Please come in,” said Wang Yao .
All of the three people were quite young, in their 20’s . However, they had uneven breathing and unsteady gait . Their faces were pale . Their eyes were fixed, and they kept yawning .
“How can I help you?” asked Wang Yao .
“Are you a doctor? Can’t you tell what’s wrong with us?” said one of them, who was slightly overweight . The person was quite rude .
Wang Yao looked at him .
“You should leave if you don’t want to cooperate,” said Wang Yao . He didn’t want to waste his time on any non-compliant patients .
“Sorry, please don’t take him seriously . He can be really rude sometimes . I’ll go first . I have a headache and hallucinations,” said the other young man .
“Hallucinations?” Wang Yao was surprised to hear it . It was his first time to see a hallucinating patient that was so young .
“Yes,” said the young man .

“When did it start?” asked Wang Yao .
“Hmmm, about 20 days ago,” said the young man .
“Let me take a look . ” Wang Yao took a good look at the young man . Then his face went stern .
“You — wait, no . Actually, all of you have taken drugs, right?” asked Wang Yao .
The three young people looked shocked .
“What are you talking about!?” said the young man .
No wonder they had hallucinations and were seeming to hide something . Wang Yao believed that they had taken drugs, which caused symptoms such as hallucinations .
“Stop playing dumb!” said Wang Yao in a low and thick voice .
Om! The three of them suddenly experienced eardrum fluttering, as if someone was hitting a big drum right next to their ears, giving them a big headache .
“It hurts!” shouted the young woman .
“We did take drugs, and we are addicted,” said one of them, a skinny young man .
“How long have you been taking drugs?” asked Wang Yao .
“About a month,” said the young man .
“A month! Have you been to the hospital?” asked Wang Yao .
“No, we didn’t want anyone else to know,” said the young man .
“Then why did you come here?” asked Wang Yao .
“My grandma had seen you before . She told me you are a very good doctor,” said the young woman, who looked delicately pretty .
“Doctor, can you help us?” asked the skinny young man .
Wang Yao shook his head . He was speechless .
They came to the wrong place . They should to go a rehabilitation center instead of his clinic .
“Doctor?” said the pretty young woman gently as Wang Yao had kept silent for a while .

“How did you become drug addicts?” asked Wang Yao .
“Well, when we went for a drink in a pub one night . We just had one cocktail,” said the young woman .
“Let me take another look,” said Wang Yao .
Wang Yao took a good look at all of them again . Their condition was still considered an illness, as they were intoxicated by the drugs . However, their situation was very different from the other patients .
The three young people had been in the clinic for about 20 minutes . They kept yawning, as if they hadn’t had a good sleep . This was one of the typical symptoms of drug addicts .
Ouch! Oh!
The young man who was slightly overweight suddenly started to shake . He held his shoulder with his arms .
“Long!” The other two looked terrified . They could tell their friend was about to go through withdrawal .
The young man whose name was Long started to see shadows, and heard people talking .
He also heard cats and dogs making sounds, and music .
“Ah!” He suddenly became short of breath and he looked confused .
“Give me some, be quick!” said Long .
“No!” said the skinny young man .
“Just a little bit!” said Long .
As the two of them were about to say something, they suddenly felt suffocated, as if the air around them had been evacuated .
Wang Yao flapped one of his hands on the young man who was going through a withdrawal . He patted and poked on that young man’s body rapidly .
“Ouch!” screamed the young man .
He stopped shaking, and his eyes became clear again .
“Wow!” His friends were in shock .
This was fascinating to them . They were amazed that their friend’s withdrawl stopped after being patted by Wang Yao several times . They believed they were in the right place . This young doctor, who seemed only a few years older than them, was definitely a highly capable person . He could probably help them get rid of their drug addiction .
“How are you feeling now?” asked Wang Yao .
“I feel much better now, thank you,” said Long .
He was not stupid . This was not the first time he had ever experienced withdrawal symptoms . Previously, he had to continue taking drugs to feel better . Every drug addict knew the harm . However, it was too hard to get rid of the addiction . Only people with extremely strong willpower could possibly quit the drug . Otherwise, they had to be put in a rehabilitation center . Who could expect drug withdrawal could be stopped with a single hand?
When Wang Yao was patting Long, he transferred his Qi into Long’s acupuncture points and meridians rapidly . The Qi eased the pain and repaired the damage caused by the drugs to stop Long’s drug withdrawal symptoms .
“Doctor, can you help us?” asked Long .
“Yes, but you need to notify your parents, all of you,” said Wang Yao .
“Oh, no! Please! My dad will kill me!” said the skinny young man .
“Then I can’t help you,” said Wang Yao without even a moment’s hesitation .
“Doctor, please help us! Please! We are happy to pay anything you demand,” said the skinny young man .
“No, you must notify your parents and bring them here,” said Wang Yao .
The three of them were too young to be able to control themselves . It would take a while for them to get rid of their addiction . Wang Yao could help them in the clinic, but they could fall back into their old habits in no time without proper supervision . That would throw Wang Yao’s effort to cure them into the drain . If Wang Yao couldn’t make sure the three young people would stay away from drugs permanently, he would rather not to treat them at all . Therefore, for the best interest of the three young people, Wang Yao believed that their parents should know what was going on . No matter how strict their parents were, they loved their children and didn’t want them to be drug addicts .
“Go home and have a good think about it,” said Wang Yao .
As the three of them couldn’t convince Wang Yao to treat them, they had to leave .
“Think long and hard about it . You guys are still young . Your life will be irreparably damaged if you don’t stop taking drugs,” said Wang Yao before they left .
“That doctor is such a douchebag!” said the overweight young man grumpily after they left the clinic . He probably had forgotten who just saved him . “It’s not like we won’t pay him . ”
“What can we do? Tell our parents?” asked the skinny man .
“No way, they’ll kill us,” said the young woman .
“Well, I think the doctor can help us get rid of our drug addiction . Look, let’s try to get some money, as much money as possible . Then, we come back with cash . I don’t believe that he won’t help us,” said the overweight young man .
The other two exchanged a glance .
“Okay, let’s try it,” said the skinny young man .
“Okay!” agreed the young woman . “How much should we get?”
“Well, how about each of us try to get 30 thousand?” suggested the overweight young man .
“What? Where can I get so much money? I only get a few thousands a month for pocket money,” said the skinny young man .
