But I reckon that earning this mere million yuan won’t take me long, so why subject myself to your grandfather’s malicious suspicion?”

Bai Yun saw that he was determined to leave and could only persuade Bai Kainan, “Grandpa!

Maybe he really can cure your illness.

What’s the harm in letting him try?

Dead horse as…

ahem!

I…”

Bai Kainan patted her dismissively and said, “You’re still young and don’t understand the treachery of human hearts!

I originally thought he was a rare talent.

Who knew, he turned out to be just another deceitful crook?”

Wu Xiaoyu hadn’t left the villa yet, so he naturally heard their conversation clearly.

Being misunderstood as a crook was bad enough, but saying it right in front of him was truly an intentional insult.

Wu Xiaoyu turned back, glared at Bai Kainan, and said calmly, “If I’m not mistaken, you should have been shot before, right?”

The words ‘been shot’ instantly shocked Bai Kainan.

His mind was like a volcanic eruption.

Who exactly was this young man?

How did he know he had been shot?

“Wait a minute!” Bai Kainan saw that he was about to open the door and hurriedly shouted.

Wu Xiaoyu turned around again, smiling, and asked, “What’s the matter?

Do you have any further instructions?

Or are you planning to imprison me, the so-called crook?”

The fact that Bai Kainan had been shot was something he’d never mentioned to anyone, not even his granddaughter.

Now that Wu Xiaoyu had brought it up out of the blue, how could he not be shocked?

“How did you know?

Who exactly are you?” Bai Kainan took a few steps forward in urgency and asked.

Wu Xiaoyu stopped, smiled slightly, and said, “As I said, I am an accomplished traditional Chinese medicine doctor.”

“When I performed first aid on you earlier, I touched your chest and happened to detect your condition.

As for concluding that you had been shot, it was merely based on the judgment of your scars.”

Listening to Wu Xiaoyu describe his condition, Bai Kainan could simply think he had done some research.

But hearing him mention the bullet wound, Bai Kainan couldn’t help but waver.

Bai Kainan hesitated for a moment and then said, “I might have spoken rashly earlier!

Why don’t we sit down for a bit?”

For someone like Bai Kainan, it was impossible to apologize directly.

Saying something like this, which implied admitting fault, was already quite rare.

Bai Yun took the opportunity to step forward and pull Wu Xiaoyu, tempting him, “A million yuan!

Don’t you really want it?

Besides, you wouldn’t be that petty to leave just because of a misunderstanding, would you?

At least clear your name first, wouldn’t you?”

Oh, great!

If I leave now, wouldn’t that just confirm I’m up to no good?

Wu Xiaoyu glared at Bai Jie and said arrogantly, “It’s you who asked me to stay, not me shamelessly pestering you!”

Having persuaded Wu Xiaoyu to stay, Bai Kainan continued probing, “By the way, I haven’t asked yet, where are you from?”

Wu Xiaoyu wasn’t foolish; he naturally knew this old man still didn’t trust him.

He might as well introduce himself:

“My name is Wu Xiaoyu, from Daxin Village in Anju Town.

Meeting your granddaughter was purely by accident, and bumping into you was an even greater coincidence!”

“You’re so young, how do you know Chinese medicine?”

Wu Xiaoyu yawned and said flatly, “My family has been butchers for generations, so I’m half a veterinarian.

Gradually, I learned to treat people too!”

“Vet…

veterinarian!” Bai Kainan’s face turned pale.

Was this young man insinuating and insulting him?

Bai Yun, sitting beside them, felt helpless seeing them bicker like this.

Wu Xiaoyu could potentially cure her grandfather, yet faced with such relentless questioning, he must already be dissatisfied.

If Grandpa wanted to keep him, why act like this?

“Grandpa!

Why ask so much?

Just let him treat you first, okay?” Bai Yun pleaded while tugging on her grandfather’s arm.

Wu Xiaoyu was surprised to see her act so coquettish; he didn’t expect Bai Yun to have this side to her.

“Alright, I won’t ask anymore!

So…

Wu Xiaoyu, right?

Can you completely cure my condition?” Bai Kainan asked loftily.

Wu Xiaoyu didn’t like his attitude, but for Bai Yun’s sake, he let it slide and confidently said, “Of course!”

Completely cure?

Bai Kainan still doubted his words.

Although he identified the illness, his peptic ulcer was due to gastrointestinal nerve damage that had been persistent for over thirty years.

Numerous famous doctors couldn’t cure it; how could a young man like him be better than them?

Seeing Bai Kainan still showing disdain, Wu Xiaoyu said directly, “If I’m not mistaken, your stomach problem should be the aftermath of being shot!”

Back when Bai Kainan protected the chief, he was hit by an enemy’s bullet, which happened to pierce his stomach.

Although he was saved in time, it left many aftereffects.

The peptic ulcer originated back then, leading to his retirement.

Hearing Wu Xiaoyu now pinpoint the stomach issue being related to the gunshot, Bai Kainan was somewhat pleasantly surprised and intrigued.

“You’re right!

This old stomach problem is indeed a gunshot aftereffect.

Can you really cure it?” Bai Kainan asked excitedly.

Bai Yun felt a rush of fear when hearing that her grandfather had been shot and had such aftereffects.

Fortunately, Wu Xiaoyu claimed he could cure him, so Bai Yun quickly pleaded, “Xiaoyu, you must cure my grandfather!”

Wu Xiaoyu nodded and asked Bai Kainan, “You just had a portion of wontons.

You must be experiencing some gastric acid and burning now, right?”

Bai Kainan, somewhat incredulous, said, “That’s right.

Every time after eating, my stomach hurts for quite a while.

I’ve taken many medications for peptic ulcers, but they only treat the symptoms, not the root cause!”

Hearing her grandfather say he was already feeling uncomfortable, Bai Yun quickly urged, “Hurry and treat my grandfather!”

To Bai Kainan, these words were warming, very comforting.

However, he knew that peptic ulcers were chronic and couldn’t be cured instantly!

“If possible, give me a prescription.

I’ll take the medicine for a few days, and if it works, I will certainly reward you generously!” Bai Kainan said.

Currently, Bai Kainan’s acid and burning sensations in his stomach could be eased by stimulating a few acupoints.

Wu Xiaoyu thought and asked Bai Yun, “Do you have silver needles, the kind used in Chinese medicine?”

“Yes…

yes…

I’ll immediately have someone bring them.” Bai Yun said and then ordered someone to fetch the silver needles.

Bai Kainan was puzzled and asked, “What?

Peptic ulcer requires acupuncture?

Shouldn’t it be treated with Chinese herbs for nourishment?”

Nourishment?

It seems this old man has seen Chinese doctors before?

However, his peptic ulcer resulted from nerve damage caused by the gunshot, which is why it recurrently flares up and doesn’t heal completely.

To cure Bai Kainan’s stomach issue, the nerve damage must be repaired.

Bai Kainan’s nerve damage was not severe; it could be managed by applying hidden force on a few acupoints.

However, to gain his trust, Wu Xiaoyu decided to use silver needles.

Before long, the Bai family’s butler brought a medicine chest.

Wu Xiaoyu took out the silver needles and applied them to several acupoints on Bai Kainan’s chest and back.

Within minutes of being pricked by the silver needles, Bai Kainan felt the acidic, burning sensations in his stomach dissipate suddenly.

He couldn’t help exclaiming at the miracle, wanting to express his joy, but felt like a porcupine, unable to move and sat stiffly by the coffee table.
