Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Profiting from others’ misfortune

Over twenty minutes later.

Chen Dashan drove the Wuling God Car and arrived at the Town Hospital with Li Hai.

The two of them went to the second floor of the Town Hospital.

In the corridor outside the ward, Zhao Yaqian sat on a chair, wiping her reddened eyes with a tissue.

She woke up from a nap to find Li Xiaobao had been admitted to the hospital, not knowing what was going on, and the Town Hospital had already issued a critical condition notice.

She was the child bride of the Li family, and she had been preparing for the wedding with Li Xiaobao. She never expected that Li Xiaobao would be on the verge of death, which meant she would be left to live as a widow in the future.

Suddenly, Zhao Yaqian saw Li Hai and Chen Dashan coming in and was very surprised.

"Dad, why did you bring this blind man to the hospital?"

Zhao Yaqian asked in confusion.

At the same time, her face turned a bit red, and she didn’t dare to look at Chen Dashan.

Because she had a dream last night in which she was intimate with Chen Dashan, and it felt so real that she woke up with her lower body soaked.

Li Hai frowned and said, "Don’t talk nonsense, Dashan’s eyes have already recovered. I brought Dashan here to check on Xiaobao. Dashan is the only college graduate in our village, and he graduated from Medical University."

"Oh, oh, that’s how it is." Zhao Yaqian nodded.

Li Hai looked at Chen Dashan and said, "Dashan, I entrust this matter to you. Please check on my son and see if there is any way to cure him."

Chen Dashan nodded slightly, pushed open the door, and walked into the ward.

Li Xiaobao lay on the hospital bed with a pale face, hooked up to bottles of medication, and his lower body wrapped in white bandages. He looked like someone at death’s door.

Chen Dashan took hold of his wrist and carefully examined him.

A few days ago, he had injected a wisp of True Qi into Li Xiaobao’s body, which was now disrupting his blood and energy.

If he wanted to, he could retrieve that wisp of True Qi and save Li Xiaobao’s life.

After thinking about it, Chen Dashan walked out of the ward.

"Dashan, how’s the situation?" Li Hai asked anxiously as he walked up.

Chen Dashan said slowly, "Village Chief, Li Xiaobao’s life can be saved, but his manhood can’t be preserved. In the future, your Old Li family will be without descendants, and there will be no continuation of the family line."

"His wounds have worsened and become infected; his reproductive organs can no longer be healed."

Li Hai looked horrified and then pulled Chen Dashan aside to the stairwell.

Li Hai pounded his fist against the wall.

He said painfully, "What kind of sin has our Old Li family committed for the heavens to treat us this way!"

Chen Dashan remained expressionless, coldly laughing in his heart.

Your son caused my brother’s death, and this is karma!

After suffering for a while, Li Hai sighed and said, "Dashan, I hope you don’t disclose this matter to anyone else. My son and Zhao Yaqian are about to get married."

"For the upcoming treatment to save his life, I am entrusting this to you, and I will surely reward you once it’s done."

Chen Dashan said unhurriedly, "Village Chief, I can keep this matter confidential for you. But please clarify what kind of reward you’ll give me."

Li Hai frowned, not expecting the usually meek and easy-to-bully Chen Dashan to negotiate terms with him.

Li Hai asked, "Dashan, what kind of reward do you want?"

Chen Dashan said leisurely, "Village Chief, when I was in Medical University, I knew an old Chinese medicine professor who gave me a bottle of magical ointment that can regenerate flesh and bones. It’s invaluable."

"The old professor told me back then, that this ointment would start at at least three hundred thousand if auctioned, but I kept it to save lives. Now, treating Li Xiaobao will consume this ointment."

"For the sake of Village Chief, I’ll accept a diagnosis fee of two hundred thousand."

"Two hundred thousand!"

Li Hai was shocked; this was no small amount. Over the years he had been the village chief of Stone Village, he had accumulated about two hundred thousand in cash from various sources.

"Dashan, isn’t this ointment too expensive?"

Chen Dashan said calmly, "Village Chief, if you are unwilling to spend this money, I will keep the ointment for myself. Li Xiaobao is your son; it is your decision whether to treat him. I won’t force you."

Li Hai’s expression soured; he felt Chen Dashan was using this as an excuse to extort him, taking advantage of the situation!

Normally, he would give anything to slap this stinking cripple to death!

But now, with his son Li Xiaobao’s life in crisis, he had to rely on Chen Dashan for treatment and could only swallow this anger.

Li Hai gritted his teeth and said, "Treat him! Dashan, I agree to your terms. Treat him, and I’ll transfer the money to you once he’s cured."

Chen Dashan replied, "Okay, Village Chief, please wait outside for my news."

Then, Chen Dashan walked into the ward once again.

He took Li Xiaobao’s wrist and used the Sun and Moon Technique to retrieve the violent True Qi from Li Xiaobao’s body.

He also helped restore the normal flow of Li Xiaobao’s blood and energy.

Then, he walked out of the ward.

"Village Chief, Li Xiaobao’s life has been saved. Let him rest in the hospital for two days, and he can be discharged." Chen Dashan said.

"Really?" Li Hai looked overjoyed.

He hurriedly called the attending doctor of the Town Hospital to check on Li Xiaobao’s condition.

Two minutes later, the attending doctor came out and said to Li Hai with a look of astonishment, "Village Chief Li, it truly is a miracle. Your son’s body has returned to normal! Except for the key area, which cannot recover, he can be discharged after resting for two days!"

"Great, great, great!" Li Hai was elated.

He looked at Chen Dashan with some difficulty.

"Dashan, I’m short on funds right now; can I give you a hundred thousand first? And for the remaining hundred thousand, once Xiaobao’s wedding is done and I have money, I’ll transfer it to you, okay?" Li Hai said.

Chen Dashan thought for a moment, suspecting that Li Hai intended to renege on the remaining hundred thousand, and bluntly said, "You can transfer a hundred thousand to me first, and write me an IOU for the rest."

Li Hai’s face turned blue. As the ruler of Stone Village, when had he ever endured such humiliation, writing an IOU?

But there was no other option; he obediently wrote an IOU for Chen Dashan and transferred a hundred thousand yuan to him.

He thought to himself that once they were back in Stone Village, he would find ways to deal with Chen Dashan.

Chen Dashan received the bank transfer and the IOU with Li Hai’s fingerprint, and left the Town Hospital.

He was about to drive back to the village.

Suddenly, he received a call from Wang Shiman.

"Dashan, I need your help with something urgent. A friend of mine is seriously injured; can you help treat him?" Wang Shiman’s seductive voice came through the phone.

Chen Dashan pondered that given Wang Shiman’s status, her friend was likely not an ordinary person.

Since treating people was his specialty, it might be an opportunity to earn some money.

"Sure, Sis, what’s the condition of your friend?" Chen Dashan asked.

Wang Shiman said, "I’m currently in the county discussing business, so I can’t go with you. I’ll give you his number, and you can contact him yourself."

"My friend is Peng Hu, the owner of Red Leaf Resort in the town. If you can help him this time, there will definitely be benefits. Having one more connection will also be helpful for your future development."
