Chapter 636: District Party Secretary’s condition

Noon.

Wang Anshi’s apartment.

The lunch was ready, and Madam Yan and Wang Yuling placed the dishes on the table.

“Xiao Dong, let’s eat together.” Madam Yan said.

Dong Xuebing quickly replied. “No, thank you. I had lunch before I came.”

Wang Yuling set the table and said. “Have some. I had made the tomato with fried eggs. Try some.”

Wang Anshi did not invite Dong Xuebing and drank his tea on the sofa.

Dong Xuebing had not eaten earlier, and he is hungry. But he still rejected Wang Yuling’s offer politely because he knows Madam Yan and Wang Anshi do not like him. Madam Yan had offered out of courtesy, and he would cross the line if he joined them for lunch. It’s been five to six minutes since he entered the apartment, and he had said what he wanted. He should be leaving as they are about to have lunch. But he did not. He quickly organizes his words in his head.

Madam Yan turns to her husband. “Old Wang, lunch is ready.”

“Let me finish my tea first.” Wang Anshi rubbed his stomach and seemed to be uncomfortable. “You all eat first.”

Wang Yuling got worried. “Uncle, let’s go to the hospital and see what they can do.”

Wang Anshi waved his hand and forced a smile. “I am fine.”

Madam Yan sighed and started eating. But the food had become tasteless.

Appendicitis is very common, and a simple procedure can fix it. But there will be complications if the patient has diabetes. A simple operation might cost the patient’s life. Madam Yan has been worrying about Wang Anshi’s condition these few days. Taking medication cannot stop the pain. He is the District Party Secretary and is very busy. His condition will affect his work and promotion chances.

The room is quiet.

Dong Xuebing looked at them and interrupted. “Secretary Wang, Madam Yan, I have a solution.”

“Oh?” Madam Yan and Wang Anshi looked at Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing continued. “Let me try. Maybe I can cure your illness.”

Madam Yan is stunned. “You?”

Wang Yuling is surprised. “Director, you know how to treat illness?”

Dong Xuebing did not care about being modest and repeated the lies he told Xu Yan. “I had learned traditional healing massage from an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor for a long time and can be considered a master now. Chinese massage treatment massages the acupuncture points, and the patient doesn’t need to undergo any operation. This treatment suits Secretary Wang. Oh, don’t look down on traditional Chinese massage. It can stimulate the patient’s immunity and help the body to heal. It is a form of conservative treatment.”

Madam Yan looks at Dong Xuebing. “Are you confident?”

Dong Xuebing was about to reply when Wang Anshi interrupted. “Forget it. I am feeling much better compared to a few days ago.”

Dong Xuebing said. “But….”

“Uncle.” Wang Yuling added. “Let Director Dong try.”

Wang Anshi stood up. “Let’s have lunch now.”

Dong Xuebing is disappointed and knew Wang Anshi doesn’t believe him. When people mention traditional Chinese medicine, their first impression is older doctors are better. No one will think Dong Xuebing is good at his age. Furthermore, what he said sounds like a conman.

Wang Anshi sat at the dining table and started eating.

Since they didn’t believe him, Dong Xuebing did not stay any longer. “Secretary Wang, I should not disturb you anymore. Wish you a speedy recovery.”

Wang Anshi nodded. “Yuling, help me walk Xiao Dong out.”

Wang Yuling put down her chopsticks and walked over.

The stairwell.

Dong Xuebing smiles. “Alright. Go back and continue with your lunch. You don’t need to come out.”

“Wait. Let me walk you downstairs.”

“It’s alright.”

“Hehe… ok. Drive safely.”

When Dong Xuebing was about to walk down the stairs, and Wang Yuling was about to return to the apartment, they heard Wang Anshi’s groan and Madam Yan’s screams.

“Old Wang! Are you ok? What’s wrong?”

“Arrrgh .…..”

“Yuling, your Uncle is feeling pain again.”

“Ah…. What should we do?”

“Hurry up and call for an ambulance!”

“Ok…. Ok…. I will call now!”

Dong Xuebing’s face changed, and he quickly rushed back into the apartment. He saw the chair Wang Anshi was sitting on earlier had toppled, and he was curled up on the floor. He is trembling and frowning in pain. Beads of sweat are pouring from his forehead. Madam Yan is panicking and trying to help her husband up.

“Madam Yan, let me help you.” Dong Xuebing walked over and carried Wang Anshi to the sofa.

Wang Yuling puts down her phone. “Aunt, I had called for an ambulance, and they are on their way.”

Madam Yan held her husband’s hand. “It was the same the last time. You suffered from the pain the whole night at the hospital. What should we do?”

“Uncle.” Wang Yuling asked. “How are you feeling?”

Wang Anshi clenched his teeth and could not reply. He is still sweating profusely.

Dong Xuebing grabbed the painkillers on the table and passed them to Madam Yan to feed Wang Anshi. But the painkiller’s effects are not immediate, and he is still groaning in pain. Dong Xuebing looked at him and said. “Madam Yan, let me try.”

Madam Yan doesn’t believe Dong Xuebing. “Are you confident?”

“Yes.” Dong Xuebing replied.

Wang Yuling added. “Aunt, the ambulance is not here yet, and there’s nothing we can do. Let Director Dong try and see if he can relieve Uncle’s pain.”

Madam Yan thought for a second and said. “Alright.”

Dong Xuebing nodded and quickly rolled up his sleeves. He stood in front of the sofa and took a few deep breaths while looking at Wang Anshi’s appendix’s position. After that, he massaged Wang Anshi’s waist, back, and thighs acupuncture points. These are all a show for Wang Anshi and the rest. After doing the ‘preparatory’ work, he focused on Wang Anshi’s appendix area.

Alright.

REVERSE!

The time immediately reversed, and Dong Xuebing’s remaining time started to drop.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

Four seconds.

REVERSE deactivated.

Dong Xuebing pulled back his hands and observed Wang Anshi’s face. He knows Wang Anshi appendicitis suddenly appeared two days ago, without any obvious symptom before that. That’s why Dong Xuebing reversed his appendix and surrounding area to their conditions four days ago. If the pain and illness started from this area, he should be fine now.

Madam Yan and Wang Yuling are shocked when they see Wang Anshi stop showing signs of pain. He blinked and frowned before sitting up from the sofa. The pain had stopped miraculously.

Madam Yan asked anxiously. “Old Wang, are you feeling better?”

“Uncle, you…. Are you alright now?” Wang Yuling is stunned.

Wang Anshi is puzzled. “I am feeling better now compared to the time before I got this illness. I feel like appendicitis had not happened.”

Madam Yan is ecstatic. “Are you feeling ok now?”

Wang Anshi stood up and walked around the living room with a smile. “I am alright now.” He turns and looks at Dong Xuebing. “Thank you, Xiao Dong.”

Madam Yan quickly added. “Thank you.”

Wang Anshi and Madam Yan only saw Dong Xuebing massaging and pressing on a few acupuncture points earlier, and he recovered after one minute. This is a miracle, and they finally believe Dong Xuebing’s skills.

Dong Xuebing modestly replied. “Don’t mention it. My method can temporarily relieve the pain, and you are not fully recovered. Maybe the pain might act up a few days later. Errr…. You can call me again if the pain returns. I will think of a way to help you.”

Wang Anshi smiles. “This is good enough. I didn’t have a good night's sleep these few days.”

Wang Yuling laughed. “Oh, Director. You are also a miracle doctor.”

Dong Xuebing cleared his throat. “No…. It’s just a coincidence today that my skills happen to curb Secretary Wang’s illness.”

The ambulance arrived.

Madam Yan wants her husband to go to the hospital for checks, but he refuses. Since the pain had stopped, he wanted a good meal and sleep. He sent the ambulance and the medics back.

After they left, Wang Anshi patted Dong Xuebing’s back. “Come, let’s eat together.”

Dong Xuebing replied modestly. “I shall not bother you anymore. I will go back now since you are feeling better.”

Wang Anshi ignored Dong Xuebing and told his wife. “Go and prepare two more dishes.”

Madam Yan persuaded. “Xiao Dong, have lunch before you go.”

Dong Xuebing did not reject their offer anymore and sat at the table to have lunch with them.
