“OK,” the old man said .
Wang Yao took a close look at the old man to make sure he was alright .
“I’ll give you an acupuncture therapy when your wife is back,” Wang Yao said .
The old man’s wife soon came back from outside . She had a bottle of soy sauce in her hand . Apparently, she had gone grocery shopping .
“Hello, Dr . Wang,” the old woman said .
“Hello, Ma’am . Are you feeling better?” Wang Yao asked .
“Much better . There is no pain in my legs anymore,” the old woman happily replied .
“Good . I was about to take a look at your husband . It is a bit cold here,” Wang Yao said . He didn’t feel cold, but the old man would feel cold after taking his clothes off for massage and acupuncture therapy .
“I’ll start a fire,” she said . Soon, the heatable brick bed was nice and warm . The room was warmer, too .
“Sir, can you take your clothes off?” Wang Yao asked .
The old man took his clothes off . His body was skinny .
Wang Yao started an acupuncture session . He put the needles in the old man’s body and manipulated the needles . Then, he covered the old man’s body with a light sheet . Following the acupuncture session, Wang Yao gave the old man a massage .
After the treatment session was finished, the old man felt very warm and comfortable . He would have gone to sleep right away if there had not been a guest in his house .
“All done,” Wang Yao said .
“Have lunch here,” the old woman said .
“No, thank you . My parents have cooked lunch for me,” Wang Yao replied .
“You don’t need to bring us anything . We are really grateful that you come all the way here to see us,” the old woman said .
The elderly couple felt Wang Yao was too nice to them . They didn’t let Wang Yao leave until giving him some free-range eggs and homemade salted duck eggs .
“What a nice young man,” the old man said .
Wang Yao had seen eight patients . He just needed to see two more patients to complete his mission, which was curing people with tricky conditions . The mission needed to be completed in three days .

Will I fail to complete the mission? Wang Yao was a bit worried . But, worrying didn’t do any good .
When he drove into the village, he saw Sun Yunsheng walking from the clinic .
“Hello, Yunsheng . ” Wang Yao stopped the car and got out to say hello to Sun Yunsheng .
“I have the results from the sample you gave me . Here you are,” Sun Yunsheng said . “Let me know if you need me to do any further tests . I can contact a laboratory overseas . ”
“OK . Let me take a look first,” Wang Yao said . “When will you go home?”
“In the afternoon,” Sun Yunsheng asked .
“Do you want to have lunch together? My treat,” Wang Yao said .
“Sure, but my treat . ” Sun Yunsheng felt flattered .
“No, no, my treat,” Wang Yao insisted .
They didn’t eat at home . They went to the restaurant in the neighborhood . The owner of the restaurant was about to close the restaurant .
“Hello, Dr . Wang,” the owner said .
“Hello . Two people, four dishes, one soup, as usual,” Wang Yao said .
“Got it,” the owner said .
Wang Yao brought a bottle of wine from home .
The two of them chatted during lunch . Sun Yunsheng had lived in Wang’s village for two months . Wang Yao found him to be quite a nice person . He wasn’t spoiled like a lot of other rich kids . He was a kind person . Or, he had just changed after recovering from that horrible disease . Regardless, Wang Yao concluded that Sun Yunsheng was a fine young man who was worth making friends with .
Although Sun Zhengrong’s old enemy had caused big trouble for the village, Sun Zhengrong and his son had made compensation . In addition, Pan Jun had brought Wang Yao an important news the other day that he was selected to be one of the prominent doctors in the province . The senior officers had made the decision . The rest was just a ritual . Since Wang Yao had mentioned the election to Sun Yunsheng, he knew Sun Yunsheng and his father must have helped him get elected . It was a big favor . Wang Yao wanted to thank Sun Yunsheng for it .
“When will you come back here?” Wang Yao asked .
“I’m not sure,” Sun Yunsheng said .
His father had told him to prepare to take over the family business after the Chinese New Year . He had a lot of preparations to do . He didn’t think he would have a lot of spare time in the near future .
“Dr . Wang, thank you for curing me and your assistance to my family . Cheers!” Sun Yunsheng lifted his wine glass .

“You are welcome,” Wang Yao said . He had a few drinks during lunch .
Sun Yunsheng left with his men in the afternoon . His house was empty . He left a set of keys to Wang Yao and told him that he could stay in the house any time . Wang Yao didn’t accept the keys . He wouldn’t need them .
“You don’t want to visit Tong Wei’s parents?” Zhang Xiuying asked in a low voice during dinner that evening .
“I know what to do,” Wang Yao said .
In Beijing, an old man was badly coughing .
“What’s going on? Dad just got better . How come he’s caught a cold?” Wu Tongxing’s brother asked .
“Don’t blame Xiaoguan . It was me . I wanted to go out for a walk,” the weak old man said .
“That’s fine,” Wu Tongxing’s brother said .
“Where are the pills Tongxing took home? Give one to Dad,” Xiaoguan said .
“Right, I almost forgot,” Wu Tongxing’s brother said .
The old man took one Nine Herbs pill . He quickly stopped coughing .
“Dad, how do you feel?” Wu Tongxing’s brother asked .
“Hmm, the pill worked . I feel much better,” the old man said . This is wonderful!
“Where is Tongxing?” Wu Tongxing’s brother asked .
“He took the plane to Lianshan to invite Dr . Wang to come here before Chinese New Year,” Xiaoguan said .
“Nine people?” Wang Yao was surprised when he opened the control panel of the system . He accidentally found that he had made progress with his mission . He only need to cure one more patient .
Who have I just cured? He thought for a while, but couldn’t figure out who he had cured . He stopped thinking about it since it was good news .
After worshiping the Kitchen King, it was almost time for the celebration of Chinese New Year .

Wang Yao had several clients in the morning, including Li Maoshuang, Secretary Yang’s assistant, and Sun Changfeng . Everyone came with presents .
“Will we have any more visitors today?” Zhang Xiuying asked at lunch time . “The villagers might think you held an important position in the government . ”
“I don’t think we’ll have any more visitors today,” Wang Yao said .
As soon as he said it, another visitor came .
“Hello, Mr . Wu,” Wang Yao said with surprise . It was the fifth time Wu Tongxing had visited him in the same month .
“Hello, Dr . Wang, I’m sorry to bother you this time of the year,” Wu Tongxing said .
He brought a lot of gifts with him . Zhang Xiuying looked at her son with confusion .
“Please come in,” Wang Yao said .
Since Wu Tongxing was there, Wang Yao couldn’t drive him out of the house .
“Dr . Wang, have you been busy lately?” Wu Tongxing asked .
“Not really . It’s almost Chinese New Year . I haven’t had many patients,” Wang Yao said .
“Can you please visit my father in Beijing?” Wu Tongxing asked .
“His condition has gotten worse?” Wang Yao asked .
“He was better after taking the pills you gave me . However, his condition was not stable . He caught a cold lately,” Wu Tongxing said .
Wang Yao didn’t immediately say anything . He looked through the window .
Wu Tongxing was waiting for Wang Yao’s response . He looked at Wang Yao and hoped that the doctor would go see his father . However, it was nearly Chinese New Year . It was not appropriate to ask a doctor to do a home visit at this time of the year . Wu Tongxing had to be desperate .
“We leave tomorrow,” Wang Yao said after keeping silent for a while . “I’ll have to come back in three days . You arrange the trip for me . ”
“OK,” Wu Tongxing happily said . “Thank you . Thank you very much!”
“Don’t thank me yet . I can’t guarantee I can cure your father,” Wang Yao said .
Wu Tongxing left feeling happy .
“You are going away?” Zhang Xiuying asked . It was almost the end of Lunar year . She really didn’t want her son to go away .
“I need to go to Beijing, but I will come back in three days . I’ll visit Auntie in Beijing,” Wang Yao said .
“You are leaving tomorrow?” Zhang Xiuying asked .
“Yes,” Wang Yao replied .
“OK, I’ll prepare something for you to bring to your auntie . Also, talk to your youngest auntie before you leave,” Zhang Xiuying said .
“Sure thing,” Wang Yao said .
Wu Tongxing waited outside early in the morning the next day . Wang Yao took some local food with him .
“Dr . Wang, you have relatives in Beijing?” Wu Tongxing asked .
“Yes, my mom’s second sister,” Wang Yao replied .
“I see,” Wu Tongxing said . He remembered this valuable information .
The took the bus to Dao and then called a taxi to the airport . They flew to Beijing directly from Dao . There was no one on the plane . Wang Yao was surprised to realize that the plane was specifically for him, which indicated Wu Tongxing’s extraordinary background .
It was afternoon when the plane landed in Beijing .
“Dr . Wang, would you like to eat something?” Wu Tongxing asked .
“No, thanks . Let me see your father first,” Wang Yao said .
“OK,” Wu Tongxing said .
A car took them to the a place with maximum security .
Wang Yao saw the patient there . He was a skinny old man . He didn’t see how powerful the old man used to be . He could only see an old and weak man . He was no different than the old people in his village . The only difference was this old man lived in a special place .
“Dad, this is Dr . Wang . I’ve mentioned him to you before,” Wu Tongxing said .
“Hello, Dr . Wang,” the old man said .
“Hello, sir,” Wang Yao said .
The old man was in critical condition .
