Ah-Can lay on the sofa, his mind filled with erratic thoughts.
When he had first received the medical report, seeing that he indeed had cancer, though only in its early stages, felt like being struck by lightning on a clear day.
He had no idea what to do next.
All he could do was to call Wang Dayong in a panic.
Then, ignoring the hospital doctor's advice, he rushed directly to the tea house, hoping that Mu Jinyu, the Divine Doctor who had immediately detected his cancer, could cure him.
Though one million yuan was a bit steep, treating early-stage liver cancer in a hospital wouldn't require so much money; but hospital treatments were cumbersome, and there was no guarantee of a cure. If the cancer worsened, the situation could be even more terrible.
Thus, he could only place his hopes on Mu Jinyu, the Divine Doctor.
As Ah-Can's mind was in disarray, he felt Mu Jinyu lift the hem of his shirt and then felt the Silver Needle puncture the region of his liver.
'Starting with acupuncture? Is this really effective?' he thought to himself.
Soon after, he felt a warm current flow into his liver, so comforting that he wanted to howl with pleasure.
But before he could fully savor the sensation, Mu Jinyu suddenly withdrew the needles and said indifferently, "Done, your liver cancer is gone."
"Ah? It's cured already?" At those words, Ah-Can, astonished, looked up, staring blankly at Mu Jinyu.
One million yuan for a few needle stabs, and it's gone?
But was his cancer truly gone?
"Do you think it should take longer?" Mu Jinyu raised an eyebrow, looking at Ah-Can with a half-smile, "Do you feel that spending one million yuan in just a few minutes is not worth it, thinking that treating cancer should take months, or even years of painful treatments to feel you've spent your money well?"
"No, no, no..."
Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, Ah-Can shuddered and quickly shook his head.
If one million yuan could either cure his cancer in a few minutes with a few needles, or take years of painful treatments, he would definitely choose the former.
But the problem was, the credibility of the former was really low.
Could a few simple stabs with needles truly cure cancer? He couldn't help but doubt it.
Watching Ah-Can's skeptical gaze, Mu Jinyu said calmly, "Can't you feel it yourself, within your own body? Do you still have that loss of appetite, upper abdominal bloating, nausea, and vomiting?"
When Mu Jinyu mentioned it, Ah-Can carefully assessed his bodily state and discovered that the uncomfortable feelings had indeed vanished with those few needle stabs.
His eyes widened with surprise, and he looked at Mu Jinyu, "It's really gone!"
Mu Jinyu said softly, "I know you probably still don't fully believe me, and I understand. You can go to the hospital now to re-examine your body and see if the symptoms are still there..."
"This..." Upon hearing this, Ah-Can felt quite awkward and unconsciously rubbed his bald head.
In fact, even if Mu Jinyu hadn't mentioned it, he would have gone back to the hospital to check several more times; without the confirmation from the hospital's precise instruments, he wouldn't feel at ease!
"I'll write you a prescription, take the medication on time to recuperate your body, and you'll be fine."
Mu Jinyu said, taking out a little notebook and pen, briskly writing down a prescription, and then tearing it off to hand to Ah-Can.
"I'm leaving, you can go check at the hospital yourselves. Contact me if there are any issues."
Mu Jinyu left rather openly.
He didn't think to accompany them to the hospital, wait for the report to come out to prove he hadn't deceived them before leaving.
Nonsense, why waste so much time for that little amount of money?
They could believe it or not; he had cured them anyway.
…
After Mu Jinyu left, Ah-Can and Wang Dayong didn't hesitate. They quickly packed up and headed to the nearest hospital.
Money opened the way, with simplified procedures, and the medical reports came out quickly.
Wan Dayong's original condition of azoospermia had been cured, and the vitality of his sperm had reached over seventy percent, which is the state of a normal healthy man.
And Ah-Can's cancer was also gone.
They were overjoyed, but because they were also worried that the hospital might not be reliable, they went to several other hospitals for repeated checks afterward.
Concerning their most pressing issue, they had to be extremely cautious!
And the final results showed that they still had no problems.
"Divine Doctor, truly a Divine Doctor!"
Ah-Can held several medical reports in his hands, his eyes burning with excitement as he murmured.
Wang Dayong echoed, "Yes, if you hadn't come with me at the time and hadn't gotten a physical examination, and if it had been delayed until the cancer cells spread, that would have been torturous death not knowing whether there was a cure or not. One million yuan treated it without pain or injury; it was really worth it."
...
Mu Jinyu left the teahouse but did not go home immediately; instead, he went to the bank first, transferring the freshly earned one million, one hundred and eighty-eight thousand yuan to his bank card before heading home.
On the way home, recalling that there wasn't much food left at home, and now that Gu Xiyan was there, he decided to stop by the supermarket to buy some groceries.
By the time he got home, it was already four thirty.
Mu Jinyu, after all, didn't really treat Wen Rou as a maid, and he didn't wait for her to come home to cook dinner. Seeing that it was almost dinner time, he started cooking in the kitchen himself.
Just after cooking a few dishes.
"Ding-dong!"
"Bang, bang, bang!!"
The doorbell rang, followed by a series of intense knocks on the door.
"Hmm? Who is courting death?"
Initially, Mu Jinyu thought it was Wen Rou and the others when he heard the doorbell, but upon hearing the subsequent knocking, he knew someone was courting death!
Putting down the spatula and untying his apron, Mu Jinyu, with a stern face, walked out of the kitchen to the entrance and directly opened the security door.
"Bang, bang…"
Standing outside was a woman in her forties who had been furiously knocking. As Mu Jinyu suddenly opened the door, she nearly lost her balance and fell inside!
"It's you!"
Mu Jinyu recognized who the death-seeking woman was.
It was Wen Yan's mother, Wen Rou's Second Aunt.
Mu Jinyu's expression was cold as he stood in the doorway, his initial intention of kicking the person out after opening the door had to be suppressed, and he coldly asked, "What are you doing at my house?"
Although it was a question, he knew full well that Wen Rou's Second Aunt was surely here about Wen Yan's imprisonment!
After Wen Rou's Second Aunt regained her footing, she raised her hand to point at Mu Jinyu's nose, prepared to furiously berate their heartless acts.
Seeing this, Mu Jinyu's expression darkened, he reached out and grabbed her finger and then twisted it downward!
"Crack!"
The clear sound of a bone fracturing rang out.
Wen Rou's Second Aunt was momentarily stunned, then—
"Ow!!!"
A pig-like shriek instantly spread throughout the entire building.
