Old Ding is in his forties. If he hadn't been injured and paralyzed, he would have been promoted by now.

He was overjoyed to see Bai Zilin arrive and immediately told his wife to go buy groceries, insisting that Bai Zilin stay for dinner no matter what.

"Master, don't keep your wife busy. I just came to see you today." Bai Zilin sat down on the edge of the bed and looked at her master leaning against the bed. She felt a little sad.

If it weren't for her, Lao Ding might be a deputy director now; he has made the most contributions among his peers.

"No, that won't do. We've come all this way, Xiaoru, go buy the groceries." Old Ding instructed his wife.

"Zilin, you should stay here. Your master often talks about you," said Zhang Ru, Lao Ding's wife, with a smile. She had taken care of her husband all these years without any complaints. The house was kept clean and tidy, and Lao Ding had no injuries.

She picked up her shopping basket and went out.

"Master, why did you move here?" Bai Zilin looked around, feeling a little sad. She hadn't visited her master for two years.

“Xiaoqiang, aren’t you going to take the postgraduate entrance exam? The house over there is rented out. Anyway, it’s just your teacher’s wife and me usually, so we can’t live in such a big house. This place is close to the hospital and convenient, so we came here. It’s fine.” Old Ding grinned.

“Master, if you have any difficulties, you must tell me. Don’t keep them to yourself,” Bai Zilin said.

"Haha, don't worry, I'll definitely tell you if you have any difficulties. Hey Zilin, I saw in the newspaper the other day that you've done something good again." Old Ding said with a smile, "Not bad, you're worthy of being my apprentice, you've really made your master proud."

At this point, Bai Zilin became even more distressed. Her master treated her almost like his own daughter, but she had been so busy all these years that she hadn't even had time to see him.

"What cases have you encountered recently?" Old Ding asked.

"Yes, six girls have mysteriously disappeared. A special task force has been set up. I'll go back and take charge of the task after I see you," Bai Zilin said.

"A case that warrants the formation of a special task force must be extraordinary. The missing persons must all have unusual identities, right?" Old Ding asked.

“Yes, they are all daughters of wealthy families, aged between fifteen and eighteen…” Bai Zilin said, “The higher-ups have ordered that the case be solved as soon as possible.”

"Okay, send me the case file later, and I'll analyze it for you." Old Ding nodded.

"How about this," Ye Xingchen suggested, "Master Ding can return to the police force and work with Miss Bai to solve this case?"

"Who is this?" Old Ding was taken aback, only then realizing that there were other people in the room.

Seeing Ye Xingchen's age and extraordinary aura, he seemed to understand: "Oh, you're Zilin's boyfriend, right? Come, come, have a seat."

"Master, you've misunderstood. He's not... he's a friend of mine who knows medicine." Bai Zilin blushed. "Right, what did you just say? You meant my master?"

"The fall from a height damaged my spine," Ye Xingchen said. "It damaged my motor nerves, which caused the paralysis, but it's not difficult to treat."

"You can cure my master?" Bai Zilin stood up abruptly, her expression a mixture of surprise and delight.

"I told you, it's not difficult to treat, and I guarantee that after he recovers, he'll be just like a normal person. As long as he doesn't want to switch to an administrative position, he can return to the criminal investigation team at any time," Ye Xingchen said with a smile.

"That's wonderful, Ye Xingchen! If you heal my master, I'll marry you!" Bai Zilin was overjoyed.

For so many years, she had felt guilty about her master's injury, but today Ye Xingchen said he could cure her master's paralysis.

If that's true, that would be wonderful.

"Don't keep asking me to marry you. I'm a doctor, and I've cured countless people. If I wanted to marry you, I really wouldn't be able to." Ye Xingchen said, both amused and exasperated.

"I'm so happy, Master! Did you hear that? You can get up! You can go back to the police force!" Bai Zilin said excitedly, holding Lao Ding's hand.

"Really? Thank you then. But my master has been paralyzed for several years now, and we've tried everything." Old Ding smiled and said, "If your friend is confident, he can give it a try, but even if it doesn't work, it's okay. I'm used to it."

“Master, he’s different from others, really. If he says he can, he definitely can.” Bai Zilin had complete confidence in Ye Xingchen; she believed he could definitely cure him.

"Alright, let's give it a try. Xiao Ye, right? I'm counting on you." Old Ding said with a smile.

Although he spoke lightly, he was full of hope in his heart. After all, his dream was to go back, and if he could really stand up again, that would be the best thing ever.

"It will be done soon, Master Ding." Ye Xingchen took out the gold needles and began to perform acupuncture.

This type of spinal injury is extremely difficult to heal. In response to this condition, foreign countries have developed alloy skeletons that use alloys and artificial intelligence to support people's ability to walk.

However, this method is still in the experimental stage and has not been widely used. Moreover, the high price and subsequent maintenance costs are beyond the reach of ordinary families.

Ye Xingchen's needlework may seem simple, but in reality, every single needlestroke is carefully executed.

It was perfectly timed, the location was ideal, and the people were harmonious. Moreover, with each needle insertion, true energy was released, repairing Old Ding's damaged body.

More than ten minutes passed in a flash, and Ye Xingchen removed all the gold needles: "Alright, Master Ding, you can stand up now."

"That's it? I can stand up now?" Master Ding looked incredulous; he couldn't believe he was all better.

"Yes, it's really healed. You can stand up and try it." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly.

"Master, let me help you, let's try." Bai Zilin was more excited than anyone else, and she held onto Master Ding's hand.

Master Ding no longer hesitated. He slowly sat up straight, and then he was surprised to find that his body, which was originally paralyzed and unable to move, could now sit up straight.

He tried to move around a bit, and apart from being a little stiff, he felt almost no discomfort.

With Bai Zilin's help, he slowly stood up.

The moment he straightened up and thrust his spine forward, he was completely shocked.

The feeling of standing up again was like being reborn. He was so excited that he couldn't speak for a long time.

"Master, you're really alright." Bai Zilin cried tears of joy.

"I'm fine now, I can walk again, and I can use my strength again. Zilin, you, your friend is truly a miracle worker!" Master Ding was so excited that he was incoherent.

Over the past few years, I've visited countless hospitals, folk healers, and quack doctors, but the injury is too severe, and there's simply no way to recover.

He had already given up, but he never expected that such a young man could heal his injury so easily. This was truly a great joy for him.

"Master Ding, please take some rest. After all, your old injuries from back then are still quite serious." Ye Xingchen said with a smile, "I'll give you a set of training methods and some traditional Chinese medicine to help you recover. In six months, I guarantee your body will be back to its peak condition."
