"Sinuo, what is he doing?"
Fan Shuyuan, not understanding, turned to Gu Sinuo and asked. Her eyes, surprised by Wan Yunting's hand placed on the little boy's chest, exclaimed, "Such strong internal energy..."
Chen Qiuyun, squatting nearby, her face like autumn water, her naturally charming eyes looking at Wan Yunting in surprise, saw the little boy, whose body was red from the icy water, emitting white steam under the influence of Wan Yunting's powerful internal energy. The skin, reddened by the cold, gradually returned to its normal color.
Seeing that it was enough, Wan Yunting withdrew his hand and quickly wrapped the little boy with a down jacket. He turned to the woman squatting beside him, looking a bit dazed, and said, "Don't worry, your son is alright."
"Good, good, good..."
Chen Qiuyun, who had reacted, looked a little unnatural. She hugged the little boy and quickly nodded to Wan Yunting, "Thank you, thank you..."
Wan Yunting looked up and saw Chen Qiuyun's mature and beautiful face, her willow-leaf eyebrows, her bright eyes as deep as autumn water, revealing a hint of imperceptible nervousness, she dared not meet the man's gaze.
Her straight and beautiful nose, perhaps due to her son falling into the water and her panic, her breathing was rapid, her nostrils seemed to flutter slightly. Beneath her fine and upright nose, her well-defined lips were red, like ripe cherries ready to be picked, evoking a desire to kiss in anyone who saw them.
Although Chen Qiuyun was wearing bulky clothes, it seemed unable to completely conceal her voluptuous and mature figure. The most captivating aspect was her innate charm, a combination of sanctity, elegance, intellect, and a gentle and dignified maternal charm, which ignited a beastly desire in men, making them want to conquer her.
Wan Yunting's gaze paused, staring at Chen Qiuyun's flawless face for a full five seconds before reacting. He looked a little embarrassed, shook his head, and smiled, "You're welcome. Your son is fine. If you're still worried, you can take him to the hospital for another check-up."
"Okay, thank you all so much."
Being stared at by this man much younger than herself, Chen Qiuyun's cheeks flushed slightly. She hugged the little boy and stood up, profusely thanking Wan Yunting and Fan Shuyuan.
The park administrator jogged over to inquire with Wan Yunting and Chen Qiuyun. After confirming they were fine, the administrator dispersed the surrounding people and hurried them away from the ice. The ice on this pond was not very thick, and if many people stood in the same spot, the ice could crack and they could fall in. Fortunately, no accident occurred this time, otherwise, the park would have been in a lot of trouble.
It was also thanks to Wan Yunting's timely rescue. If he had been two minutes later, the little boy would have surely frozen to death in the water.
"Sister, do you really not need to get your child checked at the hospital?"
Fan Shuyuan looked at the little boy in Chen Qiuyun's arms and found that the child wasn't crying or making noise; he seemed stunned from falling into the icy water.
Gu Sinuo also noticed something unusual about the little boy in her arms and said, "Is your child sick?"
Chen Qiuyun looked down at the boy in her arms and then up at Wan Yunting and Gu Sinuo, saying helplessly, "My son had a high fever once when he was three years old. Because his treatment was delayed, his brain was damaged."
"Is that so? How pitiful."
Fan Shuyuan's peach blossom eyes showed a look of sympathy as she looked at the little boy in her arms. Wan Yunting said, "Let me feel his pulse."
"Okay."
Chen Qiuyun agreed without hesitation, presenting the little boy's right arm. Wan Yunting took his small hand and began to feel his pulse. It was indeed as she had said; this boy's brain development was incomplete, and his intelligence was stuck at the level of a two or three-year-old, yet the boy looked about eight or nine years old.
"Sir, may I leave you my contact information?"
Chen Qiuyun's beautiful eyes fixed on Wan Yunting, saying, "You risked your life to save my son. I must repay this kindness. I'll treat you to a meal another day."
"Sure, why don't you add me on WeChat?"
Fan Shuyuan immediately took out her phone. Chen Qiuyun's expression faltered. She glanced at Wan Yunting, nodded with a slightly unnatural smile, and they added each other on WeChat.
Gu Sinuo watched Wan Yunting's body still emitting heat. He was dispelling the cold with his internal energy, which was why he was like this. She said, "Do you want to go back and change your clothes?"
"Mhm."
Wan Yunting nodded. The little boy was fine, and it was time to go back.
"Sister, you should also go back quickly, don't let your child get cold."
Fan Shuyuan waved goodbye to Chen Qiuyun. She nodded and said, "Okay, I'll contact you another day."
"Mhm mhm."
Fan Shuyuan smiled and nodded at her before following Wan Yunting and Gu Sinuo as they left.
Chen Qiuyun stood up, holding her child, her beautiful eyes gazing at Wan Yunting and the others as they left, revealing a complex expression.
"How is it?"
Suddenly, Zhu Yangyu appeared behind her, startling Chen Qiuyun, who trembled and turned to nod slightly at him.
"Let's go, Master wants to see you."
Zhu Yangyu glanced at Wan Yunting and the others who had already walked away, took the little boy from Chen Qiuyun's arms, and led her away.
In the Gu Residence, in the reception hall.
"What? Sima Boyong knows your identity?"
Gu Shiren and Gu Yuanbai exclaimed in shock upon hearing Wan Yunting's words.
Wan Yunting nodded, frowning, "He must have guessed it."
Gu Yuanbai and Gu Shiren exchanged a look, and the two elders also frowned.
Fan Shuyuan and Gu Sinuo, standing by, were confused, not knowing Wan Yunting's identity, which could make their grandfather and Old Gu so surprised, their faces becoming solemn. "Xiao Wan, this could affect you!"
"Yes."
Gu Shiren nodded, "Mr. Gongsun's reputation was ruined overnight back then. Everyone scolded him as a quack doctor. If Sima Boyong reveals that you are Mr. Gongsun's disciple at this time, it will have a huge impact on you."
Wan Yunting frowned. This was why his mood had been heavy all the way. Sima Boyong knowing his identity was undoubtedly fatal. Moreover, the National Traditional Chinese Medicine Conference was tomorrow, and Sima Boyong would surely reveal this matter publicly at the conference.
At that time, who would dare to support him? It might even implicate Gu Yuanbai and the entire Lingnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association!
Gu Yuanbai frowned deeply and turned to Gu Shiren, "Teacher, think of a countermeasure."
Gu Shiren shook his head and sighed, "What countermeasure can there be for this matter? Alas..."
Everyone fell silent, not knowing how to respond.
It was clear that Sima Boyong asking to meet him today was a deliberate attempt to present them with a difficult challenge.
"Master, people from the Ouyang family are here to see you!"
At this moment, the butler walked in and reported.
"What is it?"
Gu Shiren looked up and asked.
A middle-aged man followed the butler into the hall and bowed to Gu Shiren, saying, "Old Mr. Gu, our boss would like to invite Doctor Gu and Doctor Wan to see our young lady!"
Wan Yunting and Gu Yuanbai were startled, looking at the middle-aged man with confusion, "Aren't the Sima family members treating Director Ouyang's daughter?"
The middle-aged man said to them, "The Sima family's doctors could not cure our young lady's illness, so Director Ouyang specifically sent me to invite you over to see if you can find a solution."
This made Wan Yunting and Gu Yuanbai exchange glances. Yesterday, Sima Xuanyu had confidently said that he could cure Ouyang Zhixin's daughter's "stinky fish syndrome" with his medicinal bath method. How could he now say it couldn't be cured?
But this was undoubtedly an opportunity!
Yes, if Wan Yunting could cure Ouyang Zhixin's daughter's "stinky fish syndrome," it would prove his medical skills. Even if Sima Wentang publicly revealed at the National Traditional Chinese Medicine Conference that he was a disciple of the Ghost Hand Divine Doctor, people's attitudes would likely not be so resistant.
Back then, Gongsun Xiuliang's reputation was ruined overnight, and everyone accused him of being a quack.
Now, decades later, except for the older generation who knew who Gongsun Xiuliang was, the younger generation didn't know who the Ghost Hand Divine Doctor was at all.
Wan Yunting just needed to prove his medical skills to turn the situation around. So, he immediately stood up and said, "Okay, we'll go with you now."
Gu Yuanbai and Gu Shiren also hurried to stand up and asked, "Xiao Wan, do you have a way to cure Director Ouyang's daughter?"
Wan Yunting turned and nodded at them, smiling, "I flipped through some medical books and ancient texts last night, and I also heard my master talk about similar illnesses, so I thought of a method. As for whether it will work, we'll have to try."
"Good."
Gu Yuanbai was happy. As long as Wan Yunting could cure Ouyang Zhixin's daughter's "stinky fish syndrome," then everything would be easier to handle.
Wan Yunting went back to get his medical kit, and he and Gu Yuanbai immediately left the Gu Residence with the middle-aged man, taking his car directly to Ouyang Zhixin's home.
In the living room of the villa in the No. 99 villa manor within the Longtang Garden villa complex in the capital city.
"Director Ouyang, let me try again."
Sima Xuanyu took off his mask and said to Ouyang Zhixin, who was sitting on the sofa with a cold expression, "Perhaps I used a few herbs incorrectly. Once I research a new prescription, I can definitely cure your daughter's illness."
Ouyang Zhixin turned his head, his sharp gaze casting a sideways glance at him, "What did you say yesterday? Now you say the herbs were used incorrectly. What do you take my daughter for, your test subject?"
"It's not like that, Director Ouyang. I didn't mean that."
Sima Xuanyu shook his head, trying to explain, "The case of stinky fish syndrome is inherently rare. There are still few cases worldwide. Our treatment is essentially groping in the dark. If you don't give me a few chances to adjust, how can I cure your daughter's..."
"That's enough, you don't need to say any more."
Ouyang Zhixin waved his hand, stood up, and turned to leave, saying, "I've seen many arrogant young people like you. I've already invited Doctor Gu and the others over again. You can go back now. For the medical fees, please get them from my secretary."
Sima Xuanyu was anxious and chased after him, trying to explain. But at this moment, the middle-aged man arrived with Wan Yunting and Gu Yuanbai. Upon seeing Wan Yunting, Ouyang Zhixin completely ignored Sima Xuanyu, who was following behind him and chattering incessantly, and hurried to greet them, saying, "Doctor Gu, Doctor Wan, you're here."
Sima Xuanyu behind him saw that Ouyang Zhixin had indeed invited Wan Yunting and Gu Yuanbai, and his expression immediately turned grim.
Wan Yunting saw Sima Xuanyu was also there and glanced at him, then nodded to Ouyang Zhixin with a polite smile, "Hello, Director Ouyang."
"Good."
Ouyang Zhixin looked at him and also smiled. He felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if this young man in front of him was his long-lost son. He softly asked, "Doctor Wan, have you had lunch? Why don't you join me for lunch first?"
Wan Yunting shook his head and waved his hands, "Director Ouyang, we've already eaten. Let me go up and feel your daughter's pulse first."
"Good, come with me."
Seeing this, Ouyang Zhixin couldn't even bother with lunch. He turned and personally led Wan Yunting and Gu Yuanbai towards the villa where his daughter resided. He passed by Sima Xuanyu without even looking at him.
Wan Yunting and Gu Yuanbai also glanced at Sima Xuanyu without saying anything.
This made Sima Xuanyu fume inwardly with a cold snort, but he didn't leave. Instead, he followed them.
