“Okay, let me know if there is anything I can do to help,” said Sun Zhengrong.

“Now that you mention it, I do have a question to ask,” said Wang Yao.

“Sure, what is it?” asked Sun Zhengrong.

“I’m curious about the treatment your son underwent in order to survive with such a fierce medical condition,” said Wang Yao as he looked into Sun Zhengrong’s eyes to see his reaction.

“Well,” said Sun Zhengrong, surprised.

No wonder! Things are not as simple as I thought! thought Wang Yao

Sun Zhengrong was thinking about what he should tell Wang Yao.

The way he used to keep his son alive was unusual. It could even be called evil. He was afraid that Wang Yao would not agree with what he had done, although he didn’t care if it would cause problems.

“You don’t have to tell me now. I just found something special in your son’s body, which could be used to treat your son’s condition. However, I’m not sure where it could have come from,” said Wang Yao.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Fine, I’ll tell you,” said Sun Zhengrong.

He decided to tell Wang Yao what he had done after thinking about it for a while.

“Can we talk elsewhere?” asked Sun Zhengrong.

“Sure,” said Wang Yao.

“Hao, please stay here and keep an eye on Yunsheng,” said Sun Zhengrong.

“Sure.” The man with no facial expression gave a very brusque answer.

Sun Zhengrong led Wang Yao to the lounge. Someone came to make them a pot of tea immediately.

“I have tried all sorts of ways to save my son since he became ill. I’ve taken him to see a number of medical experts not only in China, but overseas as well,” said Sun Zhengrong after a short pause.

“I see,” said Wang Yao.

Wang Yao clearly knew how powerful Mr. Sun was. He wouldn’t have any problem getting most medical experts to treat his son. As for the specialists overseas, he had money, so most of them would be more than happy to see his son.

“However, my son’s condition wasn’t getting any better. On the contrary, he had been getting worse, and I was very worried,” said Sun Zhengrong.

“That’s understandable,” said Wang Yao.

“Then I got to know a few doctors who had unique treatment methods through some friends. They provided some folk prescriptions,” said Sun Zhengrong.

“Folk prescription?” asked Wang Yao.

He was not unfamiliar with the term folk prescription. This was not the first time he heard the term from a patient or a related family member. In fact, a lot of people believed that folk prescriptions could treat severe medical conditions. However, one had to be very cautious in using folk prescriptions. But if a disease couldn’t be cured in the best hospitals in this country, while they could be cured by some folk prescription, why should those big hospitals exist?

“One of the methods was to use recently killed children as medication,” said Sun Zhengrong hesitantly. He was observing Wang Yao’s facial expression while talking.

Wang Yao frowned without thinking about it.

Sun Zhengrong noticed it.

As I expected, this Dr. Wang is against this treatment method.

Sun Zhengrong stopped. He wasn’t sure whether he should go on.

“Please continue,” said Wang Yao as he rubbed his forehead.

“That doctor said the grudge from those dead children would offset the yang toxins inside Yunsheng’s body, and nourish his body,” said Sun Zhengrong after he took a sip of the tea.

“The grudge?” asked Wang Yao.

He was thinking while listening to Sun Zhengrong.

He had never encountered stuff like this. It was a form of metaphysics.

Wang Yao knew about witch doctors, but there were not many around nowadays. Most of them were just frauds.

However, Wang Yao felt the Qi suppressed inside Sun Yunsheng’s belly.

Why is there Qi in his belly?

“So you used the grudge from the dead children?” asked Wang Yao.

“Yes, and there was another folk prescription,” said Sun Zhengrong after some hesitation.

“Another one?” said Wang Yao in surprise.

“Yes,” said Sun Zhengrong.

He had told Wang Yao one folk prescription. He might as well tell him the other one.

“A doctor from Miao territory told me that the yang toxin inside my son’s body could be offset by a woman’s yin energy,” said Sun Zhengrong.

“A woman’s yin energy?” Wang Yao was shocked.

Of course, he knew what it meant.

Yin and yang energy existed in the human body. They were compatible to each other and supported each other. If yin and yang were balanced, one’s meridians would not be blocked and would stay healthy.

In a theory based on metaphysics, because the world was comprised of men and women, men represented yang energy and women represented yin energy.

“So how did you get the yin energy from women?” asked Wang Yao.

“Well, by having sex with a woman,” said Sun Zhengrong.

“I see,” said Wang Yao.

He had guessed the answer when Sun Zhengrong mentioned using yin energy from a woman.

Sun Zhengrong did everything he could for his son. God knew how many women were forced or tricked into having sex with his son, and how many children used for his medication could still be alive.

Sun Zhengrong has destroyed thousands of lives to save one person.

Wang Yao’s face darkened with anger as he thought about it.

Sun Zhengrong could tell Dr. Wang was angry.

Sun Zhengrong didn’t want to use those methods anymore.

Wang Yao breathed a sigh.

It was quiet in the lounge.

Wang Yao didn’t want to treat Sun Zhengrong’s son. However, if he didn’t treat that young man, he knew that Sun Zhengrong would continue to use those evil methods to keep his son alive.

It was torture for Sun Yunsheng to stay alive like this. If it were him, Wang Yao would rather be dead.

“Have you taken him to the northern end of the earth?” asked Wang Yao after keeping silent for a long while.

“Yes,” said Sun Zhengrong immediately. “I’ve taken him to the northern end of the country, as well as to Russia. In the beginning, the coldness outside offset the burning heat in my son’s body, but soon it no longer worked.”

“Well, stop those folk prescriptions now!” said Wang Yao firmly.

“Okay,” said Sun Zhengrong.

“There is still part of the decoction left. If he has an episode again, get him to take the rest of the decoction at once and inform me of the situation,” said Wang Yao.

Nearly half of the decoction had been taken by Sun Zhengrong’s son. Wang Yao thought he might as well left the rest to Sun Zhengrong.

“Sure,” said Sun Zhengrong.

“And I don’t want to see the decoction appear anywhere else,” said Wang Yao.

He stood up and was ready to go. He didn’t want to see Sun Yunsheng right now.

“Dr. Wang, please listen to me. I’m the person to blame, not my son. What I have done has nothing to do with Yunsheng,” said Sun Zhengrong as he walked Wang Yao out of the house.

“I will try my best to save your son,” said Wang Yao.

“Thank you,” said Sun Zhengrong.

Chen Ying had been waiting for Wang Yao outside. She pulled the car up as she saw Wang Yao come out. Sun Zhengrong opened the door of the car for Wang Yao and watched them leave.

“That Dr. Wang is a Kung Fu master,” said the man with no facial expression, his voice not betraying any emotions. Sun Zhengrong didn’t know when the man appeared behind him.

“I see. How is Yunsheng?” asked Sun Zhengrong

“He is fine now. Would you like to call Dr. Li?” asked the stoic man.

“Okay,” said Sun Zhengrong.

“Mr. Guo said that Dr. Chen and Dr. Li were very interested in the herbs Dr. Wang put into his decoctions,” said the man with no facial expression.

“I will ask Dr. Li to come around, but I am not going to show him the decoction Dr. Wang gave me,” said Sun Zhengrong after thinking for a while.

“Okay,” said the man with no facial expression.

Wang Yao looked through the window while he sat inside the car. He looked serious.

What Sun Zhengrong told him shook him up a lot.

The methods that the rich Mr. Sun used to save his son were not folk prescriptions—they were evil prescriptions.

They were the evillest treatment methods he had ever heard of since he became a doctor.

He felt depressed and helpless.

This was what the world was like.

He could save one person, or ten people, or even hundreds of people, but he couldn’t change people’s minds. He knew there were even worse treatment methods that existed in this world, he just hadn’t come across any until now.

Chen Ying didn’t ask any questions as Wang Yao was lost in his own thoughts.

Wang Yao went to his room to document the treatment session for the day once they returned to the cottage.

He required an elixir and other unique medications to treat Sun Yunsheng.

The yang toxin inside Sun Yunsheng’s body was extremely fierce. He had to resolve the toxin, drive it out, or offset it.

The first method Wang Yao thought through was to use yin energy to offset the yang toxin.

A lot of information related to licorice roots appeared in Wang Yao’s head. In the Catalogue of Magic Herbs, 108 licorice roots were documented. Among those licorice roots, some were of high quality, some were of average quality and some were of low quality. All the licorice roots had their own effect on people.

Given his current condition, he had only come across and used over ten licorice roots, and he had already been amazed by the effects.

Some licorice roots could treat the symptoms caused by yang toxin. One of them was called Yellow Spring grass, which contained strong yin energy and could move all the yang toxin and burning heat inside the human body.

However, Wang Yao needed a lot of bonus points to buy this licorice root. He couldn’t afford to buy it at this stage.

Now, he could only use Frost grass to partially offset and resolve the yang toxin inside Sun Yunsheng’s body, then use herbs of mild yin nature to nourish Sun Yunsheng’s body, just in case he couldn’t tolerate stronger medications.

Wang Yao was writing and thinking at the same time. He spent hours working in his room. He forgot to have lunch.

Chen Ying waited for Wang Yao for over an hour after she had cooked lunch. Then she went to knock on the door of Wang Yao’s room.

“Dr. Wang, lunch is ready. Would you like to eat?” asked Chen Ying.

“Okay,” said Wang Yao.

He stopped working.

Meanwhile, a slightly overweight but energetic elder was visiting an alert Sun Yunsheng inside Sun Zhengrong’s house in Beijing.

“Wow, good work!” exclaimed the elder after a while.

He knew well of Sun Yunsheng’s condition. He had seen Sun Yunsheng only a few days ago, when Sun Yunsheng was extremely ill and the yang toxin inside his body couldn’t be suppressed. The elder thought Sun Yunsheng was beyond saving. He didn’t expect the horrible toxin to be suppressed for now.

As a doctor, Dr. Li felt a bit embarrassed. He had been regarded as an extraordinary doctor for years and had decades of experiences, but he was beaten by a young man in his 20’s. Even if Wang Yao started to learn medicine since he was born, he could only have a little over 20 years of experience. How could he be so good?!

“How did Dr. Wang treat Yunsheng?” asked Dr. Li curiously.

“He brewed a decoction for Yunsheng,” said Sun Zhengrong.

“What decoction is it?” asked Dr. Li immediately.

“I’m sorry, Dr. Li, I am not sure.” Sun Zhengrong shook his head.

In fact, he had the decoction right now. He still had half a bottle of the decoction.

After Wang Yao had left, Sun Zhengrong went to see his son right away. He would always remember the shocked facial expression on the face of his right-hand man, who never had any facial expression, no matter what had happened.
