Chapter 411 Infected with Poison
“However, there is one person I cannot refuse, and that person is our group’s Political Commissioner Zhong.”
Gu Dongxing glanced at Mengyu’s expression, noting that she didn’t look angry, then continued, “His father-in-law offended a strange person three years ago. That person said he would cough blood and die three years later.
Consequently, he went to the hospital for an examination but they found nothing wrong. Thinking that the man was merely raving, he ignored it.
This year is the third year, and his father-in-law indeed developed a coughing blood condition. He went to the hospital again, but still, they found nothing. Despite trying various medications, there was no effect. Watching him getting thinner and his face paler, there was nothing they could do.”
Gu Dongxing said this with a bit of embarrassment, “I told him I would come back and talk to you to see if you can cure it before I reply to him. If you can cure it—”
“Alright, let him bring the person here,” Mengyu said.
Gu Dongxing was taken aback, “Bring here? Can’t you make a house visit?”
Mengyu immediately realized that the identity of Political Commissioner Zhong’s father-in-law must be somewhat complicated.
She shook her head, “I have my rules for treating diseases.”
“Firstly, a doctor does not solicit patients. Moreover, I don’t have a medical practice license now, so I can’t make house visits to treat people; but if someone comes seeking treatment at my place, I might make an exception and help.
Secondly, there are three types of patients I do not treat: those who commit heinous crimes, those who are unfilial, and those with whom I have no predestined relationship.”
Gu Dongxing thought for a moment, then said, “That works, I’ll talk to them and see. If they really want your treatment, they will bring the person over.”
Mengyu added, “I have a third rule; each person seeking treatment must give at least one-tenth of their assets. Of course, others charge before treatment, but I treat first and charge later. If I can’t cure the disease, I won’t take a penny.”
Gu Dongxing found it strange, “Your rules are indeed peculiar.”
“These are the rules of the Medical Sect.”
“Medical Sect?” Gu Dongxing was even more puzzled, “Is that your Master?”
Mengyu nodded, “You could say that.”
In Taoyuan Space, she had obtained the Medical Classics and the medicine encyclopedia, associated with the Medical Sect and Medicine Sect.
Having studied the Medical Classics, it was not wrong to say she was from the Medical Sect. Of course, since she had studied the medicine encyclopedia, she naturally belonged to the Medicine Sect as well.
However, she did not know if the Medical Sect and Medicine Sect still existed in this world.
Three days later, Gu Dongxing accompanied Political Commissioner Zhong to bring the person to the City North Courtyard designated by Mengyu.
While Mengyu was hosting a meal for the family members in the courtyard, Gu Dongxing had also invited some people, including Political Commissioner Zhong, so he knew Mengyu.
“Little sister, I didn’t expect that at such a young age, you are a Divine Doctor who can cure even premature aging diseases. My father-in-law’s disease—I believe you can cure it, right?”
Mengyu kept a serious face, “I need to see the patient first before I can be sure.”
The old man, surnamed Long, appeared to be in his fifties or sixties, tall but extremely frail and thin, and was already in a comatose state.
Perhaps it was because they could find no cure in the hospital that they sent him here, treating a dead horse as though it were alive?
Mengyu first took the old man’s pulse and then infused a strand of Wood Spiritual Energy into the patient’s body, circulating it through his meridians.
When it reached the patient’s lungs, she discovered that her Wood Spiritual Energy was being devoured. Activating her Divine Sense for a scan, she immediately spotted the problem: this old man was not sick, but poisoned!
Her eyebrows unconsciously furrowed as she asked, “What kind of person did the old man offend three years ago?”
Political Commissioner Zhong was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Gu Dongxing.
