Chapter 493: 0494 Don’t touch this person! (Fifth Update)

The Grand Physician of the State.

This elder, who had served as the personal physician to several highly influential figures in China, was none other than the famous Wu Youmin, the Grand Physician of the State.

Speaking of Wu Youmin, in Capital City, everyone knew of him. Although Western medicine dominated the age, among the older generation in Capital City, the belief in the ancient art of Chinese medicine still ran deep.

Wu Youmin stood at the pinnacle of Chinese medicine, having cured many difficult and complicated cases, and rumors said he had even prolonged the life of a powerful figure who was on his deathbed.

In short, there were various incredible stories circulating about Wu Youmin’s medical skills; he was considered a representative of Chinese medicine in China and a national treasure.

Those who could afford Wu Youmin’s services were either rich or noble, and sometimes, whether or not he would treat someone depended on his mood.

The beautiful lady, who was Song Jie’s mother, had come out early to greet Wu Youmin as he arrived at the entrance of the Maple Mountain Villa.

"Grand Physician Wu, please save my son," the beautiful lady immediately bowed in deep respect upon his arrival. Such a distinguished figure demanded respect, and she had to give the highest of honors, hoping Wu Youmin could solve the problem with her son, Song Jie.

Wu Youmin gently helped the beautiful lady up and said indifferently, "Let me see what illness your son has."

"Sure, Grand Physician Wu, please come inside," the beautiful lady immediately gestured with her hand and ordered the butler behind her, "Quickly prepare a pot of Da Hong Pao tea for Grand Physician Wu."

A slight look of satisfaction appeared on Wu Youmin’s face; indeed, Da Hong Pao was not unworthy of his status.

After passing through the hall and up to the second floor bedroom, Wu Youmin finally saw three young men, already bound at their hands and feet, displaying faces full of agony.

"Grand Physician Wu, the three boys are experiencing unbearable itching all over their bodies. We don’t know what disease this is. We can’t stop them from constantly scratching themselves, so out of desperation, we had to restrain their movements to prevent a life-threatening crisis," explained the beautiful lady.

Wu Youmin nodded and agreed, "You did the right thing. Although the itching does not stop, if you had let them continue scratching, the three of them you see now would have turned into bloodied figures from excess blood loss and could have died."

Wu Youmin instantly recognized that the illness affecting Song Jie and his friends was not a typical disease known in Chinese medicine.

He slowly approached them; the butler, the beautiful lady, and others including Jiang Yue and Luo Wenjing waited in silence.

Song Jie, Luo Ming, and Jiang Hao were enduring the most torturous agony of their lives. Every moment, they suffered excruciatingly, both physically and mentally exhausted by the unrelenting severe itching.

They wished they could just cut off their flesh to stop the itching completely.

Upon seeing someone appear, Song Jie’s eyes gleamed a desperate green as he used his remaining strength to yell, "Let me go, let me go!"

His sanity was clearly on the brink of collapse from the torment.

The beautiful lady, seeing her son in such a state, couldn’t help but cry and begged Wu Youmin to heal Song Jie.

Jiang Yuelong and Luo Wenjing also pleaded from behind; their sons were suffering no less than Song Jie. If not for being restrained, they might have even attempted suicide.

Wu Youmin pinched two fingers and placed them on Song Jie’s pulse.

Gradually, Wu Youmin’s expression changed slightly, and he quickly withdrew his hand.

He couldn’t help but exclaim, "What a ruthless method."

Hearing Wu Youmin’s astonishment, the beautiful lady quickly asked, "Grand Physician Wu, what is wrong exactly?"

Wu Youmin’s expression turned grave. He had discovered through his diagnosis that there was a mysterious energy inside Song Jie’s body, constantly releasing a special substance that caused severe itching all over his body.

"Where were they before they started itching? Whom did they meet?" Wu Youmin turned and asked.

The beautiful lady, Jiang Yuelong, and Luo Wenjing exchanged looks, somewhat hesitantly, only to hear Wu Youmin seriously say, "If you don’t want to tell me, I can’t help you."

With no other choice, the beautiful lady recounted the grievances between Song Jie and Ye Qiu.

"So, it seems that their itching was indeed caused by this Ye Qiu," Wu Youmin nodded and concluded. Just as Wu Youmin finished speaking, his complexion suddenly changed, his pupils widened dramatically as he turned to look at the beautiful lady and others and said, "Did you say that person’s name was Ye Qiu?"

The three, the beautiful lady, Luo Wenjing, and Jiang Yuelong, were somewhat puzzled, feeling that Wu Youmin’s reaction was a bit dramatic.

But it was indeed Ye Qiu.

"Yes, his name is Ye Qiu," the beautiful lady confidently confirmed again.

Upon hearing this, Wu Youmin displayed a bitter smile, "No wonder this name seemed so familiar... Ye Qiu... How could I have forgotten him."

Hearing Wu Youmin, a renowned doctor, speaking to himself and evidently familiar with Ye Qiu, the trio was shocked. The beautiful lady asked, "Doctor Wu, you know this person?"

Wu Youmin nodded bitterly, "Yes, like me, he is proficient in the art of Chinese medicine. I had been puzzled about who could be behind that itchy energy sensation; if it is indeed the Ye Qiu you mentioned, then it’s no surprise."

"Only those who have integrated Chinese medicine with martial arts can master such energy. This Ye Qiu is even beyond me!" Wu Youmin exclaimed.

The beautiful lady and the others were not foolish; they could hear Wu Youmin’s admiration and emotion for Ye Qiu, which was the most shocking revelation to them. It appeared that Ye Qiu was no ordinary man.

Fearing she might have unwittingly provoked a major figure unknown to her, the beautiful lady tentatively asked, "Doctor Wu, if we were to move against this Ye Qiu, could it potentially cause unnecessary waves?"

The implication of her words was whether any interventions against Ye Qiu would meet obstruction, and the beautiful lady raised this to ascertain whether someone powerful indeed backed Ye Qiu.

Wu Youmin slowly shook his head, "This young man comes from an ordinary family and possesses outstanding medical skills. Compared to any family in the Capital City, he is nothing special." Hearing Wu Youmin say this, the beautiful lady, Luo Wenjing, and Jiang Yuelong were just about to breathe a sigh of relief, showing looks of joy when Wu Youmin continued, "However, he has treated an old leader, and the latter had instructed not to target talented youths..."

"Old leader?" The trio was stunned. If Wu Youmin referred to someone as an old leader, that person must be... Instantly, the trio felt a chill run down their spines. To provoke such a lofty figure in all of China was unthinkable.

Cold sweat streamed down their backs as the beautiful lady, Jiang Yuelong, and Luo Wenjing thanked Wu Youmin profusely, his words having saved them all.

Had they continued targeting Ye Qiu or employed political power, the consequences could have very well angered the influential old leader Ye Qiu had once treated.

Should such a situation arise, not just their Song and Jiang families, even the four biggest families of the Capital City would quake!

Grateful!

Gratitude and a trace of fear shone in the eyes of the beautiful lady and her companions.

Ye Qiu must not be touched!

"I advise you not to provoke him; this young man is far from being as simple as you think," Wu Youmin kindly reminded them, after all, these people had summoned him and letting them know was also a way to return the favor; how they proceeded was up to them.

"Doctor Wu, does that mean only Ye Qiu can treat my son’s itching ailment?" the beautiful lady asked.

Wu Youmin nodded, "Logically, that’s the case. I can only identify the cause of the disease, I cannot cure this type of itching."

"I have met this young man Ye Qiu once; if you want to save your children, only he can help, otherwise not even gods could save them."

The beautiful lady, Jiang Yuelong, and Luo Wenjing suddenly looked alarmed, blurting out simultaneously, "Oh no!"

They all thought of the expert they had summoned who was currently targeting Ye Qiu.

Suddenly, the faces of the trio fell.

"You weren’t thinking of attacking him, were you?" Wu Youmin exclaimed.

The beautiful lady, Jiang Yuelong, and Luo Wenjing nodded, their expressions grim, "If we’re not mistaken, they might already be clashing."

Wu Youmin rubbed his forehead, feeling that the trio before him was beyond help!

"Stop it quickly, otherwise you’ll never see your sons recover," Wu Youmin warned loudly.

Immediately, the beautiful lady, Jiang Yuelong, and Luo Wenjing began making phone calls, trying to contact the experts they had enlisted.

Seeing this, Wu Youmin sighed, "Let’s hope it’s not too late."
