At 52, he could become a provincial governor, or even the provincial party secretary. His age was already a significant advantage. After his fourth term, he would be only 57, far from retirement age. With good fortune, it wasn't impossible for him to rise further to become a leader of the Party and the state.
For members of the Politburo of China, this vice-state-level position, the retirement age has been extended by a few years, but it mainly depends on individual health conditions. If health permits, they can retire at the designated retirement age; if health does not permit, they can retire before the newly set retirement age, all depending on the doctor's diagnosis. The article assumes that the retirement age for enterprise workers nationwide has recently been revised to 65, while administratively, this level has been extended to 70, citing breakthroughs in medical and health technology as the reason.
Based on this calculation, the age at which one should succeed is quite young.
This sudden retirement was a huge blow to him.
But Wang Yunyi's call left him somewhat bewildered, yet also somewhat tempted. He just couldn't believe that the young miracle doctor Wang Yunyi had just mentioned would suddenly appear in his bedroom.
Down below, neither the nanny nor the son called or came up to greet him. How did this person get in? Is it really as Wang Yunyi said, that there was a force of nature at play?
Ying Chenggong calmed down. If the other party said that, then they probably weren't criminals. Otherwise, what a coincidence! This Standing Committee compound isn't a place just anyone can enter.
As he was pondering, Zhang Guodong said again, "You don't need to think about it anymore. I came up from your balcony. That five or six-meter height is like flat ground to me! Are you willing to treat me? Or will you refuse? My time is very limited!"
Ying Chenggong was immediately surprised.
However, noticing Zhang Guodong's impatience, he immediately said, "Since it's a miracle doctor invited by Secretary Wang, I might as well give it a try. At worst, it won't cure me. How bad can it get?"
Zhang Guodong was surprised for a moment, but without saying a word, he grabbed the other person's wrist, placed it on his wrist, and sent a wisp of his magic power inside.
Upon seeing this, Ying Chenggong's face immediately fell, and he became even more disheartened.
Taking the pulse? Even the instruments can't detect it, so how can taking the pulse be effective? But anyway, we've already tried it, so let's give it a shot!
Magical power is beyond the perception of mortals. But the more Zhang Guodong explored Ying Chenggong's body, the more his brows furrowed. He found the source of the illness in Ying Chenggong's dantian. That source of illness was like a living organism, an invading force—poison! It was resisting the invasion of Zhang Guodong's magical power and relentlessly absorbing Ying Chenggong's life force every second. No wonder he had lost so much weight in just a few days. If this continued, he would die in less than half a month.
However, this poison retreats step by step when it encounters magical power, clearly indicating that magical power seems to be its greatest nemesis. Hypothetically speaking, even a near-master or master would likely be unable to cure him.
This also shows that someone wants to kill Ying Cheng! Who would expect a true master to intervene and heal a mere mortal? It's practically impossible!
Mortals are just mortals; they can never catch the eye of cultivators.
,Can
Having identified the source of the disease, Zhang Guodong simply used his magic to isolate it, preventing it from spreading, and then withdrew.
Just then, a sound came from downstairs, and footsteps echoed on the stairs.
"Knock knock knock!"
"Dad, are you alright?"
"Secretary Wang has come to visit you."
It was a male voice. It must have been Ying Chenggong's son; his voice sounded somewhat anxious.
Ying Chenggong glanced at Zhang Guodong before calling out, "I'm fine, let Secretary Wang come up!"
Since Zhang Guodong was recommended by Wang Yunyi, they should know each other.
Ying Chenggong went to open the door himself, while Zhang Guodong remained unmoved, only slightly shifting his feet. The Poison Study was hidden away. He didn't want Governor Ying's son to know of his existence.
Sure enough, his son and Wang Yunyi were outside the door. Ying Chenggong waved to his son and said, "Go down, I'm fine. Yunyi, come in."
After hitting his son, Ying Chenggong took Wang Yunyi into the room.
Wang Yunyi had never been to this bedroom before.
Seeing that Governor Ying was alright, Wang Yunyi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Zhang Guodong exclaimed, "Uncle Wang!"
"You're here! How did it go? Has Governor Ying's illness been checked?" Wang Yunyi's eyes lit up when he saw Zhang Guodong, and he asked hurriedly. This hope rested on Zhang Guodong!
Ying Chenggong looked at Zhang Guodong with a glimmer of hope. This illness had struck suddenly, and doctors couldn't even detect it. Could this young man really be such a skilled doctor?
Thinking about it, Wang Yunyi shouldn't be lying to me!
Zhang Guodong nodded, but his face was somewhat grave. He said, "The examination has been done; Governor Ying doesn't have an illness!"
"What?!" Wang Yunyi and Ying Chenggong were both stunned.
It's not an illness? Then why is my health getting worse every day?
"Guodong, are you sure? What's the reason? Do you know?" Wang Yunyi believed that Zhang Guodong wasn't just talking nonsense. There must be some basis for his claims.
"Confirmed! We also know the cause of the illness." Zhang Guodong nodded slightly. "Furthermore, I can treat it too! However..."
"Ha, it's good that it can be cured. Then what are we waiting for? As long as Governor Ying and I can do your request..."
"I'll grant your request! Your words are probably the best outcome Wang Yunliao could hear."
Sure enough, Ying Chenggong also seemed excited. Perhaps this young man had really found the cause of his illness? Seeing Wang Yunyi so excited, he was also infected by it.
“Since Yunyi is your elder, what he promised is what I promised. As long as it’s within my power, you can ask for anything!” Ying Chenggong said.
Getting a promise from a future provincial party secretary and a future governor is quite a favor. However, Zhang Guodong was more concerned about who had actually poisoned the place.
If it were just this once, that would be fine, but since they dared to poison me, they might dare to do it a second or a third time!
Zhang Guodong had considered things quite deeply. Wang Yunyi and Ying Chenggong, however, were unaware of this. But Wang Yunyi was overjoyed to hear Governor Ying's words. Now, he and Governor Ying were truly on the same side!
"I'm wondering, who poisoned him? The poison in Governor Ying's body was added by someone, not something he produced himself! This poison is like a tenacious life force, constantly absorbing the life force from the body. You could say the patient changes every day, becoming weaker and weaker. In twenty days, a normal person's life will come to an end," Zhang Guodong said slowly.
"poison?"
“That’s right, it wasn’t poisoned by an ordinary person!” Zhang Guodong glanced at Wang Yunyi and said intentionally.
"You mean, it's possible that Governor Ying's political enemies hired someone to do it?" Wang Yunyi's expression changed, and he suddenly realized something. If the other party had also hired a legendary cultivator to poison Governor Ying, then this matter would no longer be just about treating Governor Ying; it would become much more complicated!
"It shouldn't be wrong! This kind of poison can't be cured unless you're at a certain level. Luckily, I'm an exception!" Zhang Guodong said vaguely.
Ying Chenggong, standing nearby, was completely bewildered, but he grasped the general meaning. First, this young man could cure his "illness." Second, this "illness" wasn't an illness, but a poison? Had someone neutralized his poison?
Reflecting on the past few days, and considering Zhang Guodong's words that things change every day and that vitality is constantly slipping away, he felt that it seemed to be true!
"Yun Yi, what are you talking about?" Ying Chenggong asked.
Wang Yunyi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Governor, there are some powerful humans in this realm. Guodong is one of them. He discovered that your body was poisoned by some people with 'natural abilities.' It seems your political enemies hired these people."
Ying Chenggong's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.
He never imagined it was his political enemy who was behind it; he thought he was just unlucky and had contracted a terminal illness. He never expected someone to poison him!
And those people weren't ordinary humans?
Compare. ,Ten thousand
This was beyond his imagination! How could they possibly compete with these humans if they were to challenge them?
Then all these realms will be in chaos!
Seemingly sensing part of Governor Ying's meaning, Wang Yunyi immediately said, "Governor, Guodong said that although these humans with powerful abilities exist, they are not allowed to break the rules of mortals."
"Oh." Ying Chenggong breathed a sigh of relief. If that's really the case, then that's good.
“Uncle Wang, I think we should focus on treatment first. Tomorrow is the major reshuffle!” Zhang Guoping said. “As for the person who poisoned him, I will secretly follow Governor Ying tomorrow. I don’t believe he won’t show himself.”
Ying Chenggong was filled with trepidation. He saw Zhang Guodong holding one of his wrists and then felt a warm current enter his body through his wrist, which greatly surprised him!
"He really is a miracle doctor!"
Only now, with success, can I truly believe that Zhang Guodong is no ordinary person. This is a personal experience!
That heat was actually a magical power of Gafu. Zhang Guodong did it on purpose. Mortals are superstitious, and he conveniently created the illusion of being profound.
Although the life-devouring poison was stubborn and automatically resisted the invasion of Zhang Guodong's magical power, magical power is magical power, and it is the nemesis of this poison. In less than half an hour, the poison was completely dissolved.
Just in case anything went wrong, after Zhang Guodong expelled the poison, he took out a few pills and gave them to Ying Chenggong. The latter, however, had no qualms and swallowed them whole.
These pills include detoxifying pills and health-strengthening pills.
"After taking the pill, the body goes through a detoxification process. There's nothing more for me here, so I'll take my leave first! Tomorrow morning, I'll secretly follow Governor Ying!" After treating Ying Chenggong, Zhang Guodong said goodbye to Wang Yunyi, then darted out of the bedroom and disappeared in the next second.
This sight astonished Wang Yunyi and Ying Chenggong, but they were even more excited. Today, they had finally witnessed the legendary type of people, and indeed, they were real!
What does it taste like?
"Governor, it seems like it's detoxing? I've experienced this before. Quick, get to the bathroom right now, otherwise the smell in this room won't dissipate for days! But after one night, your body will feel a few years younger."
