Xiao Ming's renewed entreaty was somewhat expected by Zhang Guodong! He feared that Gan Shuang might be lying, and that the life force of the demon, aided by traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis, could confirm most illnesses. If the hospital's equipment was adequate, targeted examinations should yield results as he predicted.
After they parted ways yesterday, Chu Xiaoming did indeed go to the hospital for a checkup. He was also influenced by what his classmate Li Zhimin had said, and decided to believe it rather than risk it. So he asked an acquaintance to get targeted tests done, and the results came back this morning, which shocked him: it really was cirrhosis of the liver, and it was in the middle stage!
For a moment, Chu Xiaoming couldn't accept the result and felt very panicked. This illness was no ordinary cold; it was a troublesome, life-threatening disease. Even in good hospitals, conservative treatment could only involve slow recuperation and rest. There was a certain chance of recovery, but the chance was not high. Surgery, which involved removing the diseased liver, was a major operation, and the risks made him hesitate.
He's currently in an important position, at the prime of his political career, and he can't let anyone know he has health problems. Otherwise, it could affect his political future. He's even warned that acquaintance about it.
He thought of Li Zhimin. Li Zhimin had also gone to the hospital after they parted ways yesterday. He called to ask. Suddenly, he felt a surge of trust in Zhang Guodong. As expected, Li Zhimin had also been diagnosed with early-stage diabetes!
That's amazing!
Sure enough, early this morning, Chu Xiaoming called Fatty, using the guise of cooperation to also invite Zhang Guodong. In Chu and Li's eyes, Zhang Guodong was truly capable. It was fortunate they were warned early; otherwise, if these illnesses had progressed to a late stage, it would have been too late.
To be honest, Zhang Guodong also felt that ordinary people's bodies are actually quite prone to problems. If you were to actually check them, if you randomly picked ten people on the street, six or seven of them would probably be unhealthy.
People in officialdom, business, and especially those in the sub-healthy group. Even my father, Zhang Zhengrong, and mother, Ye Cuihua, had health problems before. But after using elixirs to improve their condition and now exercising regularly, they are no longer in poor health and are even healthier than healthy people.
Around noon, as soon as Zhang Guodong arrived, Chu Guanming did his best to facilitate Chen Hongxiao and Li Zhimin's investment in Zhangba Township. He seemed very enthusiastic. Li Zhimin readily agreed, promising to conduct an inspection within a week and finalize the investment. However, the minimum investment would be three million yuan to establish a vegetable processing plant, and if it proved successful, additional investment was possible.
Both parties verbally reached a cooperation agreement, and Fatty also introduced the future development direction of Zhangba Township, the concept of a "green township," which won the other party's approval.
Although the concepts of green vegetables and pollution-free vegetables have been around for a few years, their potential has not been fully realized, so there is a lot of money to be made in this area.
Even without the finest items from Green Treasure Pavilion, there's still plenty to discuss. And at this second dinner, the other party didn't mention Green Treasure Pavilion again; otherwise, it would be too mercenary and would offend Zhang Guodong.
Chu Xiaoming and Li Zhimin needed Zhang Guodong's help. At least, judging from Zhang Guodong's diagnosis yesterday, he seemed quite relaxed. They had something to ask him.
Chen Hongxiao took the opportunity to ask Zhang Guodong to take his pulse, and they actually found some problems.
Therefore, Zhang Guodong wasn't too polite about the diagnosis fees for the two bags of money—20,000 yuan each for Chen Hongxiao and 100,000 yuan for Li Zhimin. However, he only accepted 20,000 yuan of the 100,000 yuan. He made it clear that he wouldn't treat anyone unless the fat man invited him. Zhang Guodong couldn't accept Chu Xiaoming's money.
This favor is more effective than money. Besides, Zhang Guodong doesn't lack the money. In officialdom, having more favors is always useful. That's why Chu Xiaoming was much more enthusiastic towards Zhang Guodong this time.
At the fat man's request, Zhang Guodong agreed to prepare some medicinal herbs for the three of them in a few days. Of course, whether they dared to take them was their own business.
After having dinner and drinks at the hotel, followed by a massage from a woman, it was already evening when I left. [This website's address has changed: 脚联凹鹏嵌请登6圆读]
"Xiao Liu, Xiao Qi, you two go back to your hometown first. Be careful on the road. You don't need to pick me up. I'll take a taxi back tomorrow!" The fat man accompanies Xiao Liu and Qi, without even taking the car.
After drinking, the fat man no longer wanted to go back to his hometown.
"I'm so curious. Guodong, you've changed so much!" The fat man looked at Zhang Guodong as if he were a monster. "I'm not going back to my hometown tonight. How about you tell me some inside information? Like those three people I met yesterday. How did you figure out they weren't ordinary people? Perfect timing, we haven't had a proper chat since we left university. Let's stay at a hotel tonight, it's a rare chance to get away and relax!"
The two chose to walk.
Under the cover of night, neon lights shimmer, a cool breeze blows gently, and walking along the streets is incredibly relaxing. More people are out at night, making it even more lively.
“My changes are indeed not…” Zhang Guodong smiled, carefully organizing his thoughts before speaking.
"Fatty, do you believe that there are some people in this world who are incredibly powerful? Far more powerful than ordinary people, like being able to dodge bullets or block projectiles?"
The fat man's drunkenness subsided considerably, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Are there really internal energy masters among these people? Flying over rooftops and scaling walls? You're not kidding me, are you?"
"Internal strength masters? You could say that. In short, these people possess abilities unimaginable to ordinary people. Even a mid-level guard like you might not be their match. Even a low-level one of these people is comparable to a mid-level guard! The three you encountered today were this type of person! If you encounter a master among them, you could wipe out a hundred or so opponents with a wave of your hand..." Zhang Guodong deliberately downplayed the exaggeration. He just wanted the fat man to know that there were such people in this world!
Once they stood still, they realized they were no longer in their original spot, but three or four meters away. A person had appeared in that original location.
"Wow, not bad. You actually have such good skills?" The man exclaimed in surprise, revealing himself. It was none other than "Zhong Zi," the one who had caused trouble at the hotel yesterday!
However, he was alone at the moment, and his two companions were nowhere to be seen.
"You can teleport people more than three meters in an instant. That's pretty good. I underestimated you during the day. Hmph. But being fast is nothing. I told you yesterday, we'll meet again!" Zhong Zi chuckled coldly.
"Who are you? Who is your master?" Zhang Guodong released the fat man and told him to move aside. This area was bordered by a small grove of trees, and while there weren't many people around, there were quite a few cars parked along the roadside.
The other party came to us, and the location they chose was quite good. There were few people around, so we didn't have to worry about being discovered.
"You think you can find out, you little nobody? Try to last three moves against me first!" Zhong Zi sneered and immediately attacked. He lunged at Zhang Guodong, and with a sharp crack, the two exchanged blows. The opponent clearly had a martial arts background!
Zhang Guodong's expression changed slightly, and he retreated several steps. His opponent, however, remained motionless, forcing Zhang Guodong to create distance. Of course, Zhang Guodong was faking it. Being forced back by a level four plant cultivator was truly a joke.
Zhang Guodong can crush his opponent in an instant.
However, he wanted to know who these people were backed by, Kuang, and what they were doing here. Perhaps there was something in that suitcase he'd seen yesterday. He was interested in anything that could be helpful to Zhi Xiu.
"Hey, you do have some skill. No wonder you dare to look down on martial arts." Zhong Zi said with slight surprise. "However, this level of strength is not enough. Then there's only one outcome for you: death!"
The next sentence was somewhat menacing. The fat man was dumbfounded; the speed of their exchange had been far too fast, happening in the blink of an eye—clearly beyond his comprehension. Could Zhang Guodong's words just now have been a lie?
The thought of death spurred the fat man into action, and he quickly pulled out his phone to call the police. He realized something was wrong.
"Hmph, if I were you, I wouldn't even bother calling the police!" Zhong Zi glanced at the fat man and sneered. He looked at him like a wild beast, ready to explode at any moment.
"Fatty, put your phone away, no need to call the police!" Zhang Guodong said calmly, regaining his composure.
The other party seemed somewhat surprised. But that was all.
"That's already one move. Bring on all your tricks! Otherwise, you won't be able to hold us back today!"
"Haha, that's arrogant enough, I like it. I only used five-tenths of my strength just now, but I'll use my full strength this time!" Zhong Zi laughed angrily.
"Take this punch!"
Zhang Guodong curled his lip. He quickly dodged a few times, managing to avoid the second attack. Although his dodges looked somewhat clumsy, he still managed to avoid it. The force of the punch grazed his ear, and it even had a slightly burning sensation.
Boom!
The opponent couldn't stop his punch and it slammed into a tree as thick as an arm, snapping it in half with a crack. A level four plant cultivator. To break such a thick tree with a single punch, he certainly used his full strength.
This power is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
When Zhong Zi saw that Zhang Guodong had dodged, he became somewhat annoyed. Without saying a word, he flipped his right hand, and something strangely swept through the air. Zhang Guodong immediately felt a large amount of life force from his hand flow upwards, condensing into a complex and profound, almost tangible, form in the air. However, it was invisible to the naked eye of mortals.
A dangerous aura!
"What kind of attack is this?" Zhang Guodong's expression changed slightly as he sensed the hand. The bell seemed to be barely forming, but seeing Zhang Guodong's tense expression, it sneered repeatedly, as if looking at a dead man.
No sooner said than done. The gesture was frozen in an instant, incredibly swift.
"Hmph!" The mysterious attack came towards Zhang Guodong. Zhang Guodong immediately felt as if he had been precisely locked onto, and he felt that if he dodged, the attack would follow immediately.
The fact that it was like a shadow following him wasn't what worried Zhang Guodong. What truly alarmed him was that the profound attack was like a sharp blade, indestructible and unbreakable. It gave Zhang Guodong the illusion that he had lost faith in his own defenses.
However, he wasn't afraid; on the contrary, he was somewhat excited. Today, he had witnessed a novel attack method, one that even the Grand Elders hadn't mentioned in the history of the Great Continent.
"Want to know what kind of attack this is? Try taking it if you dare!" Zhong Zi's face was somewhat pale, a symptom of overusing his life force. However, he didn't believe Zhang Guodong could withstand this attack. His master had said so. This attack was extremely fast, and most people of the same level would find it difficult to resist.
The only drawback is that it consumes too much of one's life force and demonic energy.
"Hmph, afraid of you?!" Zhang Guodong was also provoked, a surge of pride rising within him. So what if he took an attack from you? Before absolute strength, any attack was utterly insignificant! "Mere child's play!"
"One punch shatters the heavens!"
A shockwave attack! This is Zhang Guodong's most triumphant punch! Equally overwhelming. Its power is boundless!
