Some licorice roots could make the human body light and younger, but Wang Yao couldn’t get those licorice roots at the moment.

“Thank you,” said Guo Sirou after keeping silent for a long while.

“Please don’t thank me. I couldn’t help you,” said Wang Yao.

After staying in the club for a while, Wang Yao went back to the cottage and found He Qisheng had been waiting for him outside.

“Hello, Dr. Wang, you are back,” said He Qisheng.

“Please come in,” said Wang Yao. “We are in Beijing now; why do you still bring gifts?”

“It’s not nice to come here with bare hands,” said He Qisheng with a smile.

The two of them had known each other for quite a long time and had kept in contact regularly, so they both of them felt comfortable talking with each other.

“How can I help you?” asked Wang Yao as he noticed He Qisheng was hesitating.

“I need a favor,” said He Qisheng.

“What is it?” asked Wang Yao.

“Well, I would like you to see a patient,” said He Qisheng.

“Who do you want me to see?” Wang Yao neither declined nor consented.

“I would like you to see my mother,” said He Qisheng.

“Is she in Beijing?” asked Wang Yao.

“Yes,” said He Qisheng.

“Okay, can I see her tomorrow morning?” asked Wang Yao.

“Of course! Thank you so much!” said He Qisheng excitedly. After spending time with Wang Yao several times, he had known Wang Yao well enough that nothing would make Wang Yao do what he didn’t want to do.

“Please don’t tell anyone about it,” said Wang Yao.

“I won’t,” said He Qisheng.

After staying for a short while, he left.

Wang Yao went to Su Xiaoxue’s house in the afternoon again.

After the gauze had been removed from Su Xiaoxue’s left hand, quite a few black and purple scar tissue dropped off. They were replaced by new and fresh muscle tissue. Half of her left hand had turned pink. Although it still looked horrible, Su Xiaoxue’s family had seen hope.

“Can someone unwrap the gauze on her face?” asked Wang Yao.

The face was different from the hands, so Wang Yao didn’t unwrap the gauze on Su Xiaoxue’s face himself.

The nursing staff slowly unwrapped the gauze from Su Xiaoxue’s head. The process of removing the gauze was extremely slow, and the nurse did it gently. Wang Yao was observing the process closely as he wanted to learn how to remove gauze properly. As a Traditional Chinese Pharmacist, he had the basic knowledge of how to dress a wound and remove a gauze, but he had limited chances to practice it. He had never dealt with wounds before seeing Su Xiaoxue.

What is this?!

Although Wang Yao was prepared, he was shocked to see Su Xiaoxue’s face.

Her face was full of scars and ulcers.

It shouldn’t be called a human face!

If people saw her face at night, they would probably be scared to death, thinking that they had met a ghost.

“Dr. Wang, please help her,” said Song Ruiping gently. Her heart was wrenched when she was looking at her daughter’s face. She wished she could suffer for her daughter.

“I’ll try my best,” said Wang Yao.

Wang Yao applied the green decoction to Su Xiaoxue’s face. The decoction went straight into the wounds. The face was much bigger than the hands, so more drops of decoction were required. Wang Yao conducted the treatment extremely slowly and carefully.

Meanwhile, Su Xiaoxue started to feel cool in her face which had been burning hot. The drops of decoction went quickly into the muscles and even into the bones. They slowly removed the excruciating pain and hot feeling, as if she were wearing a face mask made of snow.

Wang Yao spent nearly one hour applying the decoction to Su Xiaoxue’s face.

“Done, please cover her face with gauze,” said Wang Yao.

The biggest risk for open wounds like these was infection. Human skin was the first and strongest line of defense against bacteria and virus.

“I’ll be back tomorrow night,” said Wang Yao.

Song Ruiping was very grateful.

Wang Yao started to think of another problem on his way back to the cottage.

If he had enough Muscle Revitalization powder to be diluted in pure water, he could allow Su Xiaoxue to submerge her body in the diluted decoction as a form of hydrotherapy. Would this method be more effective?

Wang Yao knew the Muscle Revitalization powder was working, but he didn’t have adequate powder.

One decoction almost cost all his bonus points. If everything went as he expected, he wouldn’t be able to brew the same amount of Muscle Revitalization powder any time soon.

I need to write the method down.

When Wang Yao had returned to the cottage, he found there was a stranger waiting for him at the door. The stranger was in his 40’s. He wore a formal suit and was slightly overweight.

“Hello, are you Dr. Wang?” asked the man politely. “My name is Liu Gang, are you available to talk?”

“Sorry, I don’t have time,” said Wang Yao before Liu Gang explained his purpose of visit.

Wang Yao didn’t know Liu Gang, but apparently, Liu Gang was not an ordinary person. Wang Yao had no interest in knowing him.

“It won’t be long,” said Liu Gang.

“Okay.” Wang Yao stopped.

“Can you please see a patient, and the fee—” said Liu Gang.

“You are talking to the wrong person!” Wang Yao interrupted him before he could finish the sentence. Then Wang Yao turned around and entered the cottage with a smile, leaving Liu Gang standing outside.

“As I expected, he is not an easy going person,” murmured Liu Gang.

Liu Gang wasn’t upset. He turned around and left.

“Who was the man waiting outside just now?” Wang Yao asked Chen Ying as soon as he went into the cottage.

Chen Ying told him the whole story.

Trouble is coming! Wang Yao immediately realized it.

He then called Guo Sirou without hesitation. He had made an agreement with Guo Sirou that if anyone tried to disturb his life, Guo Sirou would deal with it. He was in Beijing at the moment, so of course, he would ask Guo Sirou for help.

After knowing who Liu Gang was, Guo Sirou promised that she would deal with him.

Who released information about me? thought Wang Yao after hanging up.

There were only a handful of people who knew about him—Guo Sirou and her brother, Su Xiaoxue’s family, Chen Ying and He Qisheng.

“Ying, who do you think told Liu Gang about me?” half-joked Wang Yao.

“I think it should be a man,” said Chen Ying.

A man?

Wang Yao was surprised. Chen Ying’s indication was obviously. After thinking for a while in the courtyard, Wang Yao thought about a person.

It shouldn’t be him. It doesn’t make sense!

Wang Yao documented his thoughts about hydrotherapy in his notebook after dinner and added a few key points.

Meanwhile, Su Xianghua and Song Ruiping were talking to each other.

“The condition of Xiaoxue’s left hand has been improving. Dr. Wang just applied some herbs on her face today,” said Song Ruiping.

“Oh, good!” said Su Xianghua.

“Do you think Dr. Wang is going to leave again?!” asked Song Ruiping. It was what she worried about most.

It happened last time. Wang Yao left when Su Xiaoxue was slightly better.

“You have to ask Dr. Wang,” said Su Xianghua.

“I don’t think you care a lot about Xiaoxue!” whined Song Ruiping.

“How can that be possible? Xiaoxue is my daughter! Well, you should communicate with Dr. Wang regularly and try to convince him to stay in Beijing for as long as possible. But if he really wants to go home, make sure you arrange his trip before he leaves,” Su Xianghua.

“My dear minister, can you also speak to Dr. Wang at your most convenience?” asked Song Ruiping.

“Okay, okay, I’ll speak to him tomorrow.

Wang Yao started to practice Chinese boxing in the courtyard at night. He almost never practiced Chinese boxing at night, but he had a sudden impulse to do it. So, he went off straight away.

There were different types of Chinese boxing including Tai Chi, Xing Yi and some he never even heard of. His movements were sometimes fast and sometimes slow. The energy surrounding him was enormous. Although it was not visible, if someone stood close to Wang Yao at the moment and was touched by him by accident, they would probably fall to the ground immediately.

Chen Ying could see Wang Yao moving up and down through the window of her room. She had practiced Kung Fu since she was a little girl and learned it from a famous Kung Fu master. She knew how good Wang Yao was for sure.

His Kung Fu skills have improved in such a short period of time!

After one had practiced Kung Fu for many years and reached a certain level, it would be extremely hard to make even a little bit of improvement.

From Chen Ying’s point of view, Wang Yao was pretty good at Kung Fu, although he was not yet a master. It was extremely rare for someone at Wang Yao’s age to have extraordinary Kung Fu skills. It was a miracle for Wang Yao to improve his skills in such a short period of time.

Whooh! The wind was howling outside. The leaves of the plants in the courtyard were making rustling sounds.

Wang Yao crouched down and hit out. Pooh! The air was split by Wang Yao’s fist.

It was Air-splitting fist. Wang Yao split the air with his fist.

One fist after another from different angles and with different speeds and strength, Wang Yao’s every fist made the pooh sound.

Shoosh! A number of leaves dropped from the trees.
