Under Wu Tian's spiritual energy healing, Zhao Qi's chest wound stopped bleeding.
Unseen by others, the wound began to heal, and his internal organs gradually recovered.
His deathly pale face started to regain its color.
The weak gasps were replaced by rhythmic breathing.
Wu Tian stood up and said, "He is out of danger now. A couple of days of rest will have him fully recovered."
No one spoke, not even daring to breathe. Everyone had almost lost their ability to think.
This was truly astonishing!
To save someone from the brink of death with just a touch?
This wasn't like a movie!
Wang Damao trembled and asked, "Wu Tian, what's going on? I don't remember you being this powerful before!"
Wu Tian didn't answer Wang Damao but looked at Sun Sheng and said, "I've already saved your life. If you do something like this again, I won't be able to save you."
Sun Sheng jolted awake, his anger instantly subsiding.
It was only then that he finally realized how foolish he had been.
He squatted down, buried his head in his hands, and wept bitterly, his sobs filled with such sorrow that they tugged at the heartstrings.
Wu Tian couldn't help but sigh.
They were all pitiable people.
Afterward, the police arrived, took Sun Sheng away, and sent Zhao Qi to the hospital.
Wu Tian and Wang Damao returned to the village.
Three days later, Wang Damao found Wu Tian.
Wang Damao said that Zhao Qi was fine and that he knew Wu Tian had saved him. He invited Wu Tian to visit the Water Conservancy Bureau.
Wu Tian thought this was a good opportunity for negotiation, so he went with Wang Damao.
Upon entering the director's office, Wu Tian saw Zhao Qi drinking tea.
His complexion had completely recovered, and he looked no different from a normal person.
"Director, your guest has arrived," the beautiful secretary said respectfully to Zhao Qi.
Zhao Qi's face lit up when he saw Wu Tian, and he quickly stood up and walked over.
"Hello, hello, you must be Wu Tian!" he said warmly, shaking Wu Tian's hand.
Wu Tian smiled and replied, "Yes, Director Zhao, I am Wu Tian."
Zhao Qi invited Wu Tian and Wang Damao to sit on the sofa and then asked his secretary to pour tea for Wu Tian.
Zhao Qi said gratefully, "Wu Tian, I've heard all about what happened that day."
"Thank you so much!"
"If it weren't for you, I'd probably be dead by now!"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Don't say that, Director Zhao. It was just a small gesture on my part. You are blessed by heaven, Director Zhao."
Wu Tian's words made Zhao Qi even happier.
He felt that Wu Tian was very eloquent and seemed like a good young man.
He sized Wu Tian up and said, "I never expected that at such a young age, you would possess such abilities. Your future achievements will be extraordinary!"
"The doctor told me that even if I had been taken to the hospital, it would have been difficult to save me."
"But you saved me with your bare hands, and there wasn't even a scar left. It's truly incredible."
"To be honest, when I first heard about it, I thought a celestial being had descended to save me!"
Wu Tian replied politely, "You are too kind, Director Zhao. I'm not that capable."
"It was just luck this time. Please don't take it to heart, Director Zhao."
Although Wu Tian said this, Zhao Qi certainly didn't believe it.
To be able to bring someone back from the dead with bare hands, what did that have to do with luck? This was a miraculous skill!
But Wu Tian's humility only made him admire him more.
He smiled and said, "Wu Tian, you saved my life, so from today onwards, you are my benefactor."
"Tell me how you want me to repay you. Even if you want to be a deputy director, I will do my utmost to help you achieve it!"
When this was mentioned, Wu Tian's expression gradually became serious.
He shook his head and said, "Director Zhao, I don't need your gratitude. But I do have something I'd like to ask of you."
Zhao Qi waved his hand and said, "Oh, what are you saying? What's there to ask or not ask."
"Just say the word today, and I'll do anything for you!"
Wang Damao was overjoyed to hear this, knowing that the matter of connecting tap water to Taohua Village was basically settled.
Wu Tian said, "It's like this, Director Zhao. I'm from Taohua Village. Our village has never had tap water connected for so many years, so I hope you can help us connect the tap water."
He paused and continued, "Also, it would be best if you could connect tap water to Luotu Village as well."
"Taohua Village? Luotu Village?"
Zhao Qi was stunned, and then he said in surprise, "Haven't these two villages already been connected to tap water?"
Now it was Wu Tian's turn to be surprised. He said incredulously, "No, our village is still using well water!"
"That shouldn't be the case!" Zhao Qi said. "We had a meeting at the beginning of last year to connect tap water to all the impoverished villages in the county, including Taohua Village and Luotu Village."
"I handed this matter over to Chen Sheng, the director of the planning department. Did he not carry it out?"
"Did he do it? He did jack shit!"
Wang Damao's anger flared up when he heard this, and he couldn't hold back any longer.
He cursed, "That scoundrel, I went to him every time, and he ignored me every time!"
"The last time I went to see him, he asked me for fifty thousand yuan. Director Zhao, tell me, is such a person a beast?"
"Fifty thousand yuan?" Zhao Qi frowned. "What did he want so much money from you for?"
"According to regulations, rural water supply is a support project and does not require the village to pay!"
Wang Damao said irritably, "What else could it be? That guy was clearly taking bribes!"
Zhao Qi looked doubtful, "Is there really such a thing?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Tian knew that Zhao Qi must have heard some rumors before.
He spoke up and said, "Director Zhao, I can testify to this matter. It is absolutely true."
"Also, I think you must know some of the reasons why that person attacked you last time."
"As the village head of Luotu Village, he had also approached Chen Sheng first, but Chen Sheng also demanded fifty thousand yuan."
"If you pay, he'll do business. If you don't, there's no room for negotiation, which is why he lost his mind and did what he did."
"Scoundrel!" Zhao Qi slammed the table in anger.
He said indignantly, "That bastard Chen Sheng, I had heard before that he was corrupt, but I never dared to believe it."
"But I didn't expect this guy not only to be corrupt but also to dare to falsify information and betray the trust of the organization. He deserves to die!"
"So, it turns out that guy was the fuse!"
"Come with me now, and I will definitely seek justice for you!"
