The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 175: The Needle Eliminates the Disease
Chapter 175: Chapter 175: The Needle Eliminates the Disease
Zou Wenhai was stunned for a second or two, and a flush of anger suddenly rose on his face. If it weren’t for the kindness and recognition from Elder Ye, the fury within him would have erupted long ago.
Obviously, Zou Wenhai had interpreted Ye Chenfeng’s "You’re sick" as an insult. After all, he was the Secretary of the Tianhai Municipal Committee! Who would tolerate being pointed at and scolded with "You’re sick"? Moreover, the person scolding him was a notorious scion in Capital City.
Zou Wenhai’s wife, Qiao Yi, was equally furious. Who would curse someone upon meeting them? And it was her husband who was being cursed! She couldn’t understand why Zou Zedong had brought such a person back with him, even claiming that Ye Chenfeng was a Divine Doctor. If such a person could be a Divine Doctor, then the title really wasn’t worth much.
"Ye Chenfeng, don’t think that I’ll be afraid of you because of your status. Please leave immediately; our family does not welcome you," Zou Wenhai said, his tone fierce and intimidating.
Ye Chenfeng casually picked up the teacup from the coffee table in front of him, gently sipping the still-warm tea, and again spoke indifferently, "You’re sick."
This time, Zou Wenhai couldn’t bear it anymore. His chest heaved with anger as he exclaimed, "Ye Chenfeng, please leave our home immediately."
"Exactly, our home does not welcome people like you," Qiao Yi chimed in immediately.
Ye Chenfeng shrugged nonchalantly, stood up from the sofa, and said, "Secretary Zou, looking at you, you must not have slept well last night, right? At the very least, you’ve been suffering from insomnia for more than two weeks now?"
At these words, Zou Wenhai was slightly taken aback. Ye Chenfeng was right; he had started suffering from insomnia two weeks ago. Even taking sleeping pills every night was futile; he was still tossing and turning, unable to sleep. After visiting the hospital three or four times and being prescribed different medications, there was still no improvement. This wretched sleep quality was torturing him to the point of despair.
As the Secretary of the Municipal Committee, he had countless matters to attend to daily, and being fully alert was the best state for work. However, in these past two weeks, he had no energy for work at all and had to keep drinking coffee just to stay alert, even making several small mistakes on the job!
While Zou Wenhai was still in shock, Ye Chenfeng was already walking towards the exit. Just before he was about to leave the living room, he turned back and said, "Secretary Zou, don’t be so hot-tempered. It will only worsen your sleep quality."
Zou Wenhai had yet to come to his senses, but Qiao Yi was the first to react. She slept in the same bed with Zou Wenhai every night and was well aware of her husband’s distress. Yet, this young man had pinpointed her husband’s ailment in just one sentence, even accurately determining the duration, which was simply unbelievable.
Zou Wenhai’s insomnia was a secret not even Zou Zedong and Zou Linlin knew, so the young man in front of them could not possibly have learned of Zou Wenhai’s condition through them.
Qiao Yi quickly strode up to Ye Chenfeng and said, "Please wait, how do you know about Wen Hai’s illness? Do you have a way to cure it?" Her tone had clearly softened a great deal.
By this time, Zou Zedong and Zou Linlin had also caught on. They both had been stunned by Ye Chenfeng’s "You’re sick," and seeing the reactions of Zou Wenhai and Qiao Yi, they realized that Ye Chenfeng’s statement was not an insult, but the truth that Zou Wen Hai was indeed sick.
"Chenfeng, we haven’t had dinner yet! What’s the rush to leave? Consider it doing me a favor!" Zou Zedong spoke up, noticing that his son seemed to know Ye Chenfeng and that his son didn’t seem to have a high opinion of him.
Seeing Zou Zedong speak, Ye Chenfeng didn’t leave after all. Besides, Zou Wenhai was, after all, an official from his grandfather’s faction. And in the past, Ye Chenfeng had indeed caused quite a bit of trouble for this Secretary of the Municipal Committee in Tianhai, which explained why others might not be fond of him.
"Wen Hai, Xiaoyi, will you two please explain what’s going on?" Seeing Ye Chenfeng stop, Zou Zedong hurriedly asked Zou Wenhai and Qiao Yi.
Qiao Yi told Zou Zedong about Zou Wenhai’s severe insomnia, which couldn’t be cured by any medication.
Zou Wenhai said, "Dad, why did you ask Ye Chenfeng to stay? Is he the guest you mentioned? Hurry up and send him away!" It seemed that Ye Chenfeng’s image was deeply ingrained in Zou Wenhai’s mind.
Zou Zedong didn’t pay attention to his son but looked at Ye Chenfeng with an apologetic face and said, "Chenfeng, I apologize on behalf of Wen Hai. Look, Wen Hai has insomnia. Could you possibly treat him?"
Insomnia can be a minor or serious condition. If it’s not too severe, taking a small amount of sleeping pills or other medications can help regulate it. However, after hearing his daughter-in-law Qiao Yi’s description, Zou Zedong knew that his son’s insomnia was very serious. Although he was also a doctor, he did not have Ye Chenfeng’s miraculous methods. He believed that if Ye Chenfeng took action, his son’s insomnia might be cured immediately.
"Dad, you want Ye Chenfeng to treat my illness? Are you joking?" Zou Wenhai didn’t know what got into his father’s head. Why would he let a profligate young master treat his severe insomnia?
Zou Zedong, however, had nothing but praise for Ye Chenfeng’s medical skills. Seeing his son speak in such a tone, he was so angry he almost smashed his cup and scolded, "You blind fool, do you think being the city committee secretary is so great? Chenfeng is a guest I invited. If he weren’t so much younger, I would want to make him my brother! It seems like you’ve regressed as you’ve grown."
In the entire Capital City, probably only Zou Zedong dared to scold the city committee secretary Zou Wenhai so directly. Seeing that the old Mr. Zou was truly angry, Zou Wenhai flushed and didn’t dare to retort.
"Dad, you mustn’t underestimate Chenfeng. His medical skills are truly exceptional! Just now, in the hospital, he cured a late-stage cancer patient with just a few silver needles," Zou Linlin interjected.
Curing a late-stage cancer patient with a few silver needles? This sounded like a tall tale to Zou Wenhai and Qiao Yi. After all, for someone with late-stage cancer, it was like being sentenced to death. In their view, it was complete nonsense from their daughter.
Just as Zou Wenhai was about to scold her, Zou Zedong spoke again, "You two should not disbelieve what Linlin said. How can you be so short-sighted? If there really is a Divine Doctor in this world, then Chenfeng truly deserves that title."
"Dad..." Zou Wenhai thought Zou Zedong and Zou Linlin were completely hoodwinked by Ye Chenfeng, the profligate young master.
Zou Zedong waved his hand, indicating he didn’t want to hear any more nonsense and turned to look at Ye Chenfeng with a smile and said, "Chenfeng, look, can you help them expand their horizons? Save them from thinking this old man has been tricked by you."
"That’s right! Chenfeng, please cure my dad’s insomnia!" Zou Linlin echoed.
Ye Chenfeng nodded. Although Zou Wenhai didn’t think much of him, during his previous time in Capital City, Zou Wenhai had indeed covered for him many times. Besides, curing his insomnia was just a trivial matter for him. So, he said, "Alright! Since Mr. Zou and Linlin both say so, I will cure his insomnia."
Upon hearing Ye Chenfeng’s words, Zou Wenhai’s frown deepened even more. The way Ye Chenfeng said it made it sound as though he was some kind of expert. Wasn’t he just an ignorant profligate?
Ye Chenfeng ignored Zou Wenhai’s gaze, casually took out a silver needle, sterilized it with a lighter, infused a bit of Soul Force into the needle, and then shot it straight at Zou Wenhai, piercing accurately into an acupoint on his chest.
Zou Wenhai didn’t even have time to react. When the silver needle entered the acupoint on his chest, he only felt his eyelids become incredibly heavy, and involuntarily yawned. With a thud, he fell to the ground and entered a state of sleep.
The bizarre way Zou Wenhai fell asleep astounded Zou Zedong, Zou Linlin, and Qiao Yi, especially Qiao Yi, who witnessed Ye Chenfeng’s miraculous method for the first time. Now she truly began to believe that this young man before her was a Divine Doctor. (To be continued.
