Chapter 502: It

~8 min read 1,492 words

"It is not that you are not good enough for me, it is that I am not good enough for you. A person like you is someone I cannot afford to climb up to; even being friends is something I am unworthy of. Move aside," He Xueqing said angrily. "It was my fault before. I naively thought we were classmates, that we were friends. Now, I see my position clearly."

Zhang Qiang's face turned livid. He gritted his teeth as he looked at He Xueqing, then nodded fiercely: "Fine, don't regret this."

After Chen Yu stepped out, Xu Wanshan hurriedly came up to greet him: "Let's go, we are going to the VIP ward in the back."

"Xu Lao, what is going on?" Chen Yu asked.

"It is the daughter of a certain leader. The leader had her in his middle age, so he treats her like the apple of his eye. This young miss likes to explore. After she returned from a trip a while ago, she started getting sick. At first, it was just a low fever, but later it developed into a high fever, and she started talking nonsense."

"Now, she is not even conscious, and she has a tendency to attack people. No matter how we examine her, we cannot find the problem. I just looked at her myself and couldn't see what the problem was either," Xu Wanshan sighed.

"She was like this after returning from her trip?" Chen Yu asked.

"Not exactly. About a week after she returned, she started running a fever. No matter how we check, we cannot find the cause. If we cannot find the problem soon, that old leader will really lose his temper. I don't know the reason why," Xu Wanshan sighed and said.

"That is hard to say. I will go take a look at her first," Chen Yu pondered. "Xu Lao, based on your experience, do you think her illness is unusual?"

"Unusual," Xu Lao nodded, saying with a serious face: "And based on my experience in Traditional Chinese Medicine, I think this belongs to an External Evil Invasion."

"External Evil Invasion?" Chen Yu was slightly stunned. Xu Lao was being a bit conservative; what is called an External Evil Invasion is mostly likely being possessed by evil.

"Yes, the situation is very serious. Now, Wu Zhangjiang's wife, Li Bei, is here. Let us go over together to take a look and discuss the condition," Xu Wanshan said.

"That is fine, let us go take a look together." Chen Yu nodded and hurried toward the intensive care unit with Xu Wanshan.

"What are you all good for? Taking the country's subsidies, holding all sorts of titles like professor and expert, my daughter is sick like this, transferred from hospital to hospital, people swapped out, every kind of test exhausted, and yet you still cannot find the cause of the illness?"

Inside the intensive care unit, a woman dressed in luxurious clothing and looking quite elegant shouted at a group of people in white coats.

The woman had an extraordinary bearing, feeling quite graceful and luxurious, and her aura was also very powerful; she was definitely not an ordinary person.

"Madam, we... have really tried our best. All kinds of indicators have been checked, and they are basically all normal," the leading professor, who was over fifty, said cautiously. "My current suggestion... is to transfer hospitals, go to the Shengjing Imperial Hospital; perhaps they have a way."

"Get out, all of you get out." The woman supported her head with her hand and waved it somewhat powerlessly.

The group of people before her acted as if they had been granted amnesty and hurriedly ran out in a flash. The person before them was Li Bei, the wife of the Ning City bigwig Wu Zhangjiang; if she really got angry, they would all be in deep trouble.

"Sister, still haven't found the cause of the illness?" After these doctors retreated, a woman covered in jewelry walked in. Her name was Wang Xin, and she was Li Bei's cousin.

"Cannot find it." Li Bei recovered a little and said somewhat helplessly: "Xinxin, help me contact your cousin-in-law. If it really doesn't work, we can only transfer her to Shengjing."

"Sister, don't be anxious," Wang Xin said. "Look at Xuexue's current situation, she doesn't recognize her own family, bites anyone she meets, has completely lost her senses, and when she is quiet, she has a high fever. This is very obviously... she has provoked something unclean."

"What are you talking about?" Li Bei's brows locked together as she said: "Can you not be so superstitious?"

"Sister, it is really not that I am superstitious. Some things, it is better to believe they exist than to believe they do not," Wang Xin said mysteriously. "There is a master who travels everywhere and is currently in Ning City. I have already entrusted someone to invite him to come and take a look at Xuexue. I guarantee it will work."

"What kind of master?" Li Bei's eyelids twitched. She was the wife of Wu Zhangjiang, and Wu Zhangjiang held a high position, so she had to show a side of high moral integrity. In fact, it was not that she did not believe in some things, but that she could not believe in them.

If it spread to outsiders that the wife of the city's top leader was superstitious, it would damage her husband's reputation abroad. After all, the image Wu Zhangjiang presented was one of being close to the people and benevolent.

"A Daoist priest who understands the arts of Yin-Yang Metaphysics. I heard he can perform Scattering Beans to Form Soldiers, Cutting Paper to Form People, and can calculate everything about your past ten years and the next ten years." Wang Xin spoke more and more mysteriously.

"Enough, stop talking. These kinds of wandering charlatans mostly have no real talent or learning. We must believe in science." Li Bei frowned. Although she was a little tempted, she knew what kind of person her sister was.

Currently, Wang Xin's husband was bidding on a municipal project, and she wished she could stay at her house every day, the purpose being to get Wu Zhangjiang to cut her husband some slack.

And although they were cousins, because her husband held a high position, the relationships between relatives were mostly about pulling strings; there was already no real family affection between them.

As Wu Zhangjiang's supportive wife, Li Bei knew what she should do and what she should not. Even if they were relatives, she had to have some guard against them.

"Sister, look at what Xuexue has become?" Wang Xin had an anxious look. "I feel heartache just looking at her. I have invited the person; you should at least try. If it doesn't work, we can transfer to Shengjing later?"

"This..." Li Bei was tempted. Although she knew this was inappropriate, it concerned her precious daughter's health after all, so she nodded and said: "Alright then, let him come over and try."

"Good, I will have him come over now. Sister, Congwen is currently bidding on a municipal project, do you think brother-in-law..." Wang Xin asked tentatively.

"If he has the ability, he will naturally be able to win the bid." Li Bei's face stiffened, and she was immediately somewhat displeased: "Is it that if your brother-in-law doesn't help with this favor, you won't care about Xuexue's illness?"

"No, no, that is not what I meant, sister. Don't be angry." Wang Xin hurriedly apologized with a smile: "I will have him come over right now."

"Li Zong, Xu Lao is back. He brought a young man with him, saying he can solve the young miss's problem." Just at this moment, an assistant walked in hurriedly.

"Invite them in quickly." Li Bei was overjoyed.

If Xu Wanshan could solve it, that would be best. After all, Xu Wanshan was the president of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association. As long as she did not get involved with those charlatans, outsiders would have nothing to gossip about.

"Hmph, didn't he say he had no way?" Wang Xin was immediately somewhat displeased, but she did not dare to say anything.

"Madam Li, I have found a master of Traditional Chinese Medicine who will definitely be able to solve the young miss's problem." Xu Wanshan walked in with a glowing face, followed by Chen Yu.

"Thank you for your hard work, Xu Lao, please come in." Li Bei said happily: "Where is that master of Traditional Chinese Medicine?"

"It is this one. Let me introduce him; this young man is named Chen Yu, and his medical skills are far above mine," Xu Wanshan laughed. "Little Chen, this is the wife of the city's Secretary Wu, Li Bei. It is her daughter, Wu Yixue, whose health is not very good."

"It is him?" The smile on Li Bei's face immediately stalled.
