Chapter 904 - Forceful Medical Treatment (2/2)
Li Qiang quickly shook his head and said, “No. I’m just a bit curious how you knew where I live, though.”
“Would it be difficult for me if I wanted to investigate someone’s address?” asked Tang Xiu with a smile.
Li Qiang recalled Tang Xiu’s identity and he immediately let out a dry smile and said, “It’s a cinch for you indeed.”
“Alright, let’s spare the small talk, shall we?” said Tang Xiu as he continued, “If my guess is correct, you should have an ill family member here, right? You’ve been with me tonight and you also heard that a lot of people address me as Divine Doctor Tang, so I came to your place to dissolve the rest of your worries.”
Li Qiang was shaken inwardly and he hastily said, “B-Brother Tang… I… I indeed have an ill family member. It’s my wife. She has heart disease, as well as some mild symptoms of kidney failure. However, I just signed the sales contract. With the commission from it, I will have enough money for my wife’s surgery.”
“What’s wrong? You don’t believe me, do you?” asked Tang Xiu smilingly.
With his thoughts pointed out and laid bare, Li Qiang let out a dry smile and said, “… Why would I? You’re a famous Young Divine Doctor. It’s just, can Chinese medicine cure heart disease?”
“Can it? Well, you gotta try to know,” said Tang Xiu with a smile. “Alright, get ready. If your wife is still awake, I can treat her soon.”
“But, Brother Tang…” Li Qiang hesitated, “The hospital has given her a specialized treatment program, I…”
“I can leave immediately if you don’t believe me,” interrupted Tang Xiu immediately. “Of course, if you want me to try it, I’ll never harm your wife even if I’m unable to cure her illness.”
Upon hearing those words, Li Qiang immediately felt at ease and hurriedly said, “Brother Tang, Big Sis-in-law, please have a seat first. I’ll call my wife out.”
Immediately after, Li Qiang quickly entered the bedroom half-running.
“I’ve heard everything. Who exactly is that Young Divine Doctor?” asked Luo Yu softly.
“He’s the Young Divine Doctor Tang Xiu from the Star City Chinese Medical Hospital. He’s also famous as a very amazing practitioner of Chinese medicine in the country,” said Li Qiang in a whisper. “Wife, he said that he won’t harm you even if he can’t cure your heart disease. Would you like to give it a try?”
Luo Yu nodded and said, “I’ve heard of him too. He’s a very amazing young miracle-working doctor. I’m going to try it since you say it’s OK.”
Outside, in the living room.
Tang Xiu could clearly hear the couple’s conversation and, after they came out, he observed the complexion of Luo Yu as he nodded and said, “A Yin-Yang deficiency and renal function decline. Can I check your pulse?”
“Alright!” Luo Yu extended her wrist after taking a seat in front of Tang Xiu.
Quickly after, Tang Xiu let out a smile and took out a box of silver needles from his interspatial ring and said, “You only have a very common heart disease, a very easy case for me. That’s right—Li Qiang, boil some water. We’re going to use it a bit later.”
“Got it!” replied Li Qiang immediately as he dashed to the kitchen.
A smile began outlining on the corners of Tang Xiu’s mouth. He grinned and said softly, “Take off your pajamas quickly. I need to take out the heart pacemaker in your chest. Also, you may feel some pain, but please endure it.”
“Pardon? You… Do you want to take out the pacemaker device in my heart? This…” Luo Yu was scared stiff and dumbfounded, looking at Tang Xiu with a dumbstruck expression.
Tang Xiu glanced at the kitchen door and immediately stunned Luo Yu, making her faint. With Xue Yu’s help, he undressed Luo Yu out of her pajamas and moved lightning fast. He constantly pierced the main acupoints in the area around Luo Yu’s heart with silver needles, before taking out a sharp scalpel…
“HEY! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!!”
A few minutes later, when Li Qiang came out of the kitchen with a half-pot of hot water, the scene he saw made him scream and fly into a rage as he roared and dashed forward.
“If you don’t wanna have your wife have complications, just shut up!” shouted Tang Xiu back.
Li Qiang put the hot water pot on the floor and watched Tang Xiu’s hand that kept dancing and moving smoothly with the scalpel. His eyes were seething in rage, but he forcefully suppressed it and angrily growled, “Divine Doctor Tang, I don’t give a fucking shit whether you’re a true miracle-working doctor or not. But if something goes wrong with my wife, I’ll drag you to hell with me!”
“Noisy,” hummed Tang Xiu apathetically as he kept moving the scalpel’s tip to take out the pacemaker device from Luo Yu’s chest, quickly injecting his Primal Chaos Force into her body to stop the bleeding and support the repairment of her heart.
Time fleeted by, and, after more than 20 minutes, Tang Xiu finally ceased injecting his Primal Chaos Force. He then took out the needle thread and carefully began to suture the wound. Both his hands were very steady and calm. Even though the stitching wasn’t dense, the effect was remarkable. After he was done with the suturing process, he washed his hands in the basin of warm water and looked at Li Qiang, stating, “There are 12 silver needles around the heart of your wife’s. Keep in mind that you must not pull them out in the next 24 hours. I’ll come back here 24 hours from now; at that time, you’ll know if my treatment worked or not.”
Li Qiang truly wanted to put up a desperate fight with Tang Xiu so much. Tang Xiu actually dared to do such a surgery to his wife without his or his wife consent, even using such a crude and superficial method. However, at this point, he could only accept the state of his wife. He could only pray to the Gods, to Heaven for a blessing and protection of his wife—for her to be safe and sound in the end.
