Chapter 192: Chapter 192 Doctor Song’s Pride

"Your sister-in-law is truly beautiful, and she looks so gentle. Mr. Song, you two must be very much in love, right?" Shen Yue walked with Song Xiaodong, opting for the fire escape stairs instead of the elevator.

"Yes, our relationship is very good," Song Xiaodong answered with a smile.

"Do you have a boy or a girl at home? I forgot to check earlier."

"Cough cough... a boy," Song Xiaodong felt there was no need to explain to Shen Yue and replied offhandedly.

Shen Dongyang was just two floors up in the inpatient ward. They hadn’t talked much before they arrived, and Shen Yue excitedly opened the door, saying, "Mom, Dad, guess who I brought?"

Sun Dongxiang was sitting by the bed. Recognizing Song Xiaodong as he entered, she immediately stood up and said, "Ah, isn’t this Doctor Song? Please come in, quickly!"

Song Xiaodong nodded his head and looked towards Shen Dongyang, who was lying on the bed. Shen Dongyang, who had regained full consciousness, asked Song Xiaodong, "Is this the Doctor Song who performed my surgery?"

Shen Yue excitedly said, "Yes, yes, I happened to run into him today and dragged him over here."

Sun Dongxiang, with a warm smile, said, "Doctor Song, we’ve been wanting to meet you and thank you personally for the past few days, but we couldn’t find your contact information. I hope you don’t mind that my daughter did this."

Song Xiaodong smiled and said, "It’s fine. Let’s check on Deputy Mayor Shen’s recovery." Since he was there, he might as well go all out.

Sun Dongxiang hurriedly made way, and Song Xiaodong took Shen Dongyang’s pulse, saying, "The recovery is quite good; there shouldn’t be any problems. Just take it slow with the recuperation."

Shen Dongyang immediately said, "Doctor Song, I heard that you are a very skilled practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Do you have any way to speed up my recovery? I have a lot of work to get back to."

Sun Dongxiang glared and said, "You’re injured like this and still talking about work? The world won’t stop turning without anyone. Can’t the large government function without you?"

Shen Dongyang frowned and said, "But the projects I’m handling require a long process for anyone else to take over. It would definitely cause delays. Giving them too much time would allow them to prepare even more, which is not good for our work."

Song Xiaodong narrowed his eyes and asked, "Deputy Mayor Shen, are you working on anti-corruption?"

Shen Dongyang paused, then said gravely, "Yes!"

Song Xiaodong’s mouth quirked up as he said, "Since Deputy Mayor Shen is engaged in such beneficial work for the country and the people, I will help you with your treatment and guarantee you can be discharged in three days."

"Really?" Shen Dongyang became excited immediately.

Song Xiaodong waved his hand and said, "Deputy Mayor Shen, please, don’t get too excited; it’s not good for your condition."

"Yes, yes!" Shen Dongyang, accustomed to controlling his emotions due to his high position, immediately calmed himself.

Sun Dongxiang and Shen Yue were ecstatic. The doctors had said that Shen Dongyang needed to stay in the hospital for at least another half month. If he could be discharged in three days, that would be ideal—no one wants to stay in the hospital every day.

Song Xiaodong immediately called He Wenbai to come over. When He Wenbai heard that Song Xiaodong was going to perform acupuncture on Shen Dongyang, he rushed over immediately, not wanting to miss such a great opportunity to observe.

During the surgery, Shen Dongyang was completely unconscious, and even though he knew that Song Xiaodong had performed the surgery and saved his life, he had not realized how skilled Song Xiaodong was. Now, seeing He Wenbai, the deputy chief of the hospital, speak to Song Xiaodong like a student, he was inwardly amazed. It appeared he had completely underestimated Song Xiaodong.

Watching Song Xiaodong insert one needle after another into Shen Dongyang’s head, Shen Yue and Sun Dongxiang were extremely nervous. A slight mistake could be fatal.

After a full half hour, Song Xiaodong finished the acupuncture and sat down on a chair, exhausted, while Shen Yue and Sun Dongxiang, feeling depleted, finally let out a long breath of relief.

He Wenbai, observing their reaction, shook his head and said, "Madam Shen, Doctor Song’s acupuncture technique is truly miraculous, and not just anyone has the chance to experience such measures from him."

Sun Dongxiang felt a bit embarrassed and hurriedly said, "It’s not that we don’t trust Doctor Song; it’s just that seeing so many needles in his head was nerve-wracking."

At that moment, Shen Dongyang also came to his senses, pressing his forehead, he suddenly displayed a look of amazement and said, "Doctor Song is truly a Divine Doctor! I can’t explain how comfortable my head feels now; the swelling and pain from the last few days are almost gone."

Song Xiaodong stood up and said, "I will come again the day after tomorrow to perform another session of acupuncture. Let’s leave it at that for today."

Sun Dongxiang hurriedly said, "Doctor Song, please wait a moment." She quickly took out a document envelope from her bag and said, "Doctor Song, thanks to you for saving Old Shen’s life, here is a small token of our appreciation. Please accept it."

Song Xiaodong’s expression darkened as he said, "Deputy Mayor Shen is working on anti-corruption, and you are giving me a red envelope now?"

Sun Dongxiang was extremely embarrassed, holding the envelope and not knowing what to do.

He Wenbai then said, "Madam Shen, you should know that Doctor Song doesn’t just treat anyone. If I hadn’t told him that Deputy Mayor Shen is an upright official, no amount of money would have made Doctor Song treat him."

Sun Dongxiang hesitated, then said, "This... I truly meant no offense. If I didn’t show my gratitude after Doctor Song saved Old Shen’s life, it would have been very impolite."

Song Xiaodong waved his hand and said, "Consider it fate. I hope Deputy Mayor Shen can continue to excel in the anti-corruption effort. If so, I would consider my intervention worthwhile."

Although Shen Dongyang was still lying in bed, he then spoke sternly, "You can count on that. I, Shen Dongyang, will definitely not let those people off."

Even lying on the sick bed, Shen Dongyang exuded an aura that commanded respect.

Song Xiaodong nodded his head and left the hospital room with He Wenbai.

Sun Dongxiang and Shen Yue escorted them out, then went back to the room. Sun Dongxiang said, "Doctor Song is truly a great doctor."

Shen Dongyang said, "Not only is his medical skill excellent, but his medical ethics are even better, and he’s so young too. Such young people truly are dragons among men."

Sun Dongxiang looked at Shen Yue and suddenly said with a sly smile, "Old Shen, what do you think... should we introduce Little Yue to him?"
