Chapter 1653: 1597 Just a Parasite (Alliance Leader STpeter Bonus Chapter 3)

Master, we still have a request. At this time, my senior brother's son, who is also our next-generation sect leader." Song En lowered his head, showing extreme obedience, and said: "Let him stay by your side to receive the baptism of your aura."

Eh, Zheng Ren instantly realized, this child should be considered a hostage.

Zheng Ren glanced at the child; his eyes were big, looking somewhat clever and lively.

He also didn't show much fear, and as Song En said, Zheng Ren vaguely felt his eagerness to try.

"Boss, this is a hostage; they're worried you won't feel at ease." Su Yun stood beside Zheng Ren and whispered.

"What happened to your senior brother?" Zheng Ren asked.

"The doctors at the National Hospital diagnosed it as… a disease you're best at treating; they can also perform surgery, but the success rate isn't high." Song En said, then wanted to lie down but endured, "Please forgive my offense; it's all my fault, unrelated to my senior brother."

Saying this, Song En reached out.

A sharp blade was placed into his hand.

Song En held the blade against his own arm and said: "This…"

As he spoke, he exerted force with his hand, trying to cut off his own arm.

Zheng Ren stepped forward, his palm striking the spot where Song En's blade‑holding arm's brachioradialis, pronator teres, flexor carpi radialis, and palmaris longus tendons converge.

Song En's hand went numb, and the blade fell.

Really damn genuine, Zheng Ren thought. If he kept going like that, bloody, don't scare Yi Ren.

If it weren't for the experimental subject in the System Operating Room, Zheng Ren would actually kind of want to watch an autopsy. But now, as long as he's willing, he can see it anytime—totally unnecessary.

Dingdong~~

At the same time, a clear sound rang in his ears.

【【Urgent Task: Heart's hot blood.

Task content: Treat the Gu master who raises parasitic worms with "heart's hot blood".

Task rewards: Peak Experience ×1, gain Gu master worship, Experience Points 100,000, Skill Points 10,000.

Task time: 24 hours.】

Eh, there's a quest?!

Zheng Ren happily looked at the quest appearing on the System Panel.

Gaining the Gu masters' worship, this reward is somewhat nonsensical. The other quest rewards are thin—only one Peak Experience, and the Experience Points and Skill Points can only be considered mediocre.

Now Zheng Ren can be considered everyone's great undertaking, Fame Under Heaven third stage, progress already at 976/1000, it will finish anytime.

Only that kind of long‑term main‑line quest can be called richly rewarded.

But even if the lice are tiny, they're still meat—just an upper GI tract vomiting blood, portal hypertension; doing a TIPS procedure isn't a big deal.

Such quest rewards are truly easy to obtain.

Moreover, the Big Pig Trotter has certified it as a parasite, not some mysterious unnameable entity.

As long as it can be explained, it's not so mysterious or fearful.

Zheng Ren gleefully looked at the System Panel, forgetting Song En to the side.

The situation was once awkward.

Song En didn't know what Zheng Ren was doing, stopping himself from self‑harm but not speaking—was this meant to give himself a greater punishment?

Just thinking about the punishment victors inflict on losers among Gu masters, he almost fainted.

His leg went weak, and Song En knelt down again.

"Master…"

Only then did Zheng Ren wake from his delight; he glanced at Song En and said: "Wasn't it said to stand up and speak?"

Song En's heart chilled, but his whole body was wet and cold, he couldn't muster any strength.

Someone nearby came to help him up, and Zheng Ren said: "We're leaving; you can do whatever you want. I'll first take a look at your senior brother's medical record."

After saying that, he turned back and said: "Yi Ren, you all go rest first."

Also arranging Fan Tian Shui and the class monitor to protect these people, Zheng Ren then felt somewhat relieved.

Turning back, seeing Song En's helpless expression, Zheng Ren realized.

This is damn, no medical record brought.

"Do you even look like someone asking for a check‑up? You didn't bring any medical records! I've never seen such a patient's family."

Zheng Ren muttered to himself.

"Boss, you really want to go?" Su Yun asked.

"Eh, go take a look; it's a simple TIPS procedure." Zheng Ren said.

"Don't turn yourself into a farmer." Su Yun warned.

"It's just doing a surgery; interested?" Zheng Ren asked with a smile.

"Surely, I'm wondering where they keep the worms in their bodies. If there's no hepatitis B but cirrhosis still appears, it might be the liver. But just thinking about it feels weird." Su Yun's curiosity and gossip flared up.

"Zheng Ren, be careful." Xie Yiren didn't stop him, but instead hugged his arm and whispered.

"Eh, at ease." Zheng Ren smiled, also ruffling Xie Yiren's head, "Go get a good sleep; I'll be back."

Xie Yiren nodded, gentle and obedient.

"Zheng Lao Ban, this…" Wang Nan said with difficulty, looking at that child.

"Keeping a child by your side, how depraved can be. I'm just a doctor; curing disease and saving people, I don't need that. Let's go to the hospital to have a look; I'll leave this side's affairs to you." Zheng Ren laughed.

Wang Nan saw Zheng Ren had made up his mind, didn't overly dissuade him, but watched them leave the hotel lobby and immediately contacted his own father.

He told the Wang family elder about this side's affairs; Wang Nan emphasized describing Song En's worship posture, causing the Wang family elder to be puzzled one after another.

When did Gu masters become so easy to talk to?

Returning to the National Hospital, Zheng Ren deliberately didn't first go see Chu Nu Ang Sai, but first looked at his related examination and medical record.

Improving his medical level cannot rely entirely on the Big Pig Trotter; this is also preparation for the 5G era.

Zheng Ren felt the pressure, tried to take early precautions to avoid the tragedy of being clueless when the 5G era arrived.

If he were eliminated by the 5G he had been longing for, Zheng Ren would cry to death.

To die at his father-in-law's hands, or to be the one who pushed it himself, would be utterly frustrating. The damn Big Pig Trotter isn't smart at all about this.

Song En, exhausted, weakly said something to Zheng Ren and then fainted outright.

He was sent away, and another person took his place to accompany Zheng Ren.

That person's gaze at Zheng Ren was full of fear, similar to how the doctors at the National Hospital looked at him.

Zheng Ren also ignored him, instead sitting down and flipping through the medical records.

Chu Nu Ang Sai, male, 45. Zheng Ren felt a bit wistful: evil arts are after all evil arts, to contract such a serious illness at only 45.

It seems that feeding insects with one's own body is not nonsense.

Because of vomiting blood, he was hospitalized for treatment at the National Hospital.

Abdominal B-ultrasound: severe congestive hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, massive ascites, bilateral massive pleural effusion.

Abdominal CT showed it was a typical manifestation of portal hypertension.

Zheng Ren stared at the image, continually pondering.

"Boss, the symptoms and imaging findings are quite typical." Su Yun said: "Just do a TIPS surgery; can you do it yourself, or should I set up the platform for you?"

Zheng Ren slightly shook his head, narrowed his eyes, and stared intently at the liver image.

"It's just portal hypertension; can you see anything else?" Su Yun said disdainfully.
