Chapter 97: Drowning Sorrows in Alcohol

At this moment, Xie Wendong, having regained consciousness, learned of Lin Yu's identity through Zhang Yuru's words. He sneered, "So you're that guy who relies on President Zhang to live. I thought you were a doctor; I didn't expect you to be here playing god and acting like a ghost."

Lin Yu glanced at Xie Wendong and said indifferently, "Believe it or not, there is indeed a tumor in your brain. That is a fact."

This sentence infuriated Zhang Yuru: "Lin Yu, that's enough! You don't understand medicine at all. Stop pretending to be a doctor to deceive people."

The old man who had just been cured by Lin Yu stood up: "Young lady, you can't say it like that. He cured my headache; how can you say he doesn't understand medicine?"

Just as the old man was about to continue arguing, a nurse suddenly ran in, saying anxiously, "Director Xie, those two patients who were transferred here—they've become possessed."

At this time, Li Xueying stood in the corner of the ward with her hair disheveled, looking exactly like a female ghost.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yongling sat on the hospital bed, eyes closed and legs crossed in meditation, muttering, "This Immortal Venerable has descended to the mortal realm today; why have you mortals not yet come forward to pay your respects?" The nurses at the door were so frightened their faces turned pale.

As soon as Zhang Yuru entered the room, she urgently wanted to speak, but was so startled by a scream from Li Xueying that she nearly fell over.

"Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, Mother Goddess of Thunder, manifest quickly..."

"Mom, Dad, it's me... I'm Zhang Yuru," Zhang Yuru shouted, trying to calm the chaotic situation.

Zhang Yuru tried to wake her parents, but all she got in return were their blank smiles.

Now, she was truly panicked. She turned to look at Xie Wendong, who was standing at the door not daring to enter, and anxiously begged for help.

"Director Xie, what exactly is wrong with my parents?"

Xie Wendong had never encountered such a situation and was completely at a loss. He suggested, "This is the neurosurgery department. I can't treat this kind of illness. You'd better take them back to the Third Hospital."

However, Zhang Yuru firmly disagreed: "No, we can't go back. My parents are not mentally ill."

Xie Wendong felt very helpless and was unwilling to take on this difficult problem. His expertise lay in surgery, not in dealing with such unexplained conditions. At this moment, Lin Yu arrived and understood the situation with just one glance.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine theory, this condition is called "possession" and falls under the category of the Zhu You Branch.

Simply put, after suffering a major blow, the brain activates a self-protection mechanism, leading to abnormal behavior that makes it look like they are being controlled by some invisible force.

"This isn't a matter of money; this is a mental illness, and I am powerless to help," Xie Wendong emphasized again.

Despite this, Zhang Yuru still could not find a suitable hospital for a referral.

Just as they were at a stalemate, Lin Yu walked into the ward and quickly inserted a few silver needles into the heads of Zhang Yongling and Li Xueying.

This action left Zhang Yuru shocked and furious. She angrily questioned Lin Yu, "How dare you do this? These are my parents; you cannot mess around."

Lin Yu did not argue. As he left the ward, he explained, "This is a phenomenon of self-hypnosis born from despair, similar to a spirit medium state."

Zhang Yuru did not believe him and roared at him to get out.

However, after Lin Yu left, she discovered that her parents' behavior had indeed returned to normal.

Zhang Yongling sighed, turned to his daughter, and said softly, "Daughter, before we went, I told your mother that it was the Lin family's ancestral home; they would never give it to you."

"Although your mother didn't listen to reason, in the end, she was mistaken for a lunatic and sent to a mental hospital."

"There, no matter how we explained, the hospital staff didn't believe we weren't patients. Even worse, the doctors at the hospital lacked the proper respect for us."

As Zhang Yongling recounted this experience, he couldn't help but shed tears of grievance. Zhang Yuru also felt very uncomfortable. Although it was wrong for her parents to go and cause trouble at Lin Yu's house, it was truly excessive that such behavior had led to her family being sent to a mental hospital.

On the other hand, when Xie Wendong saw that Lin Yu had used acupuncture to treat the patients and their condition had really improved, his heart was filled with fear.

He couldn't help but touch his own head, worrying whether he had also developed a brain tumor.

To confirm, he quickly underwent an MRI scan and, thanks to his father-in-law's connections, received the results quickly.

The doctor looked very surprised after viewing the images: "Director Xie, how did you get a brain tumor too?"

Hearing this, Xie Wendong was startled, and his face turned pale.

A flash of imperceptible satisfaction crossed the doctor's face as he pretended to be sympathetic: "The disease has already spread severely; it is late-stage brain cancer. I'm afraid there is no point in surgery."

Holding the CT scan, Xie Wendong returned to the ward in a daze. He himself saw the small tumors covering his brain on the film, as if they were announcing his fate.

Suddenly, he saw Lin Yu coming out of the ward and immediately rushed forward to kneel and beg for help: "Master Lin, I believe you must have a way to save me."

The nurse on duty was stunned by this scene. When had Xie Wendong ever begged someone like this before?

"What's wrong with Director Xie? Why is he kneeling to a young man?"

"I don't know. Maybe he's done too many bad things."

Two young nurses whispered on the side.

However, Lin Yu just coldly glanced at the CT scan and told him that even if the surgery were successful, he would only end up in a vegetative state.

Although Xie Wendong knew this, he still held onto a last shred of hope and begged Lin Yu for help: "Master Lin, since you can see my illness, you must have a cure. Please, save me."

Facing Xie Wendong's plea, Lin Yu regretfully stated that he was powerless, informing him that he had at most two months left.

"What?" Xie Wendong couldn't believe his ears.

"Master Lin... Zhou Min is awake."

Hearing Zhou Yuanli's call, Lin Yu quickly turned and entered the ward.

As the sun began to rise, it illuminated Zhou Min, who was struggling to sit up, looking at his father in confusion.

"Dad, why am I here?" Zhou Min asked.

Immediately after, he noticed Lin Yu standing to the side and smiled: "Old classmate, you're here too?"

Lin Yu frowned deeply. The thing he had a premonition about had happened after all. He asked cautiously: "Do you remember the class reunion yesterday?"

Zhou Min looked puzzled: "Class reunion? What reunion?"

Lin Yu was even more certain in his heart and asked again: "Then do you remember Lan Feng breaking up with you?"

Zhou Min was instantly filled with rage: "Don't mention her. It was because of her that I got drunk."

From this, Lin Yu concluded that Zhou Min had lost the last two years of his memory.

Subsequently, he tentatively asked: "Do you know your mother is sick?"

Zhou Min became anxious: "What's wrong with Mom? Is it serious?"

Zhou Yuanli observed his son's changes from the side and comforted him softly: "It's okay now. Thanks to your classmate, he cured your mother."

Looking at his son's injured head, Zhou Yuanli said with heartache: "Why are you so foolish? As my son, what kind of girlfriend can't you find? Why drown your sorrows in alcohol? Look at you, drinking until you fell and got hurt; you really worried me." ===== CHAPTER 98 =====
