Gu Jun's face turned pale: "Dr. Zhang, I am a cautious person and did not mean to look down on you. I apologize to you and beg you to save me."
Zhang Fan: "No, I need to bleed you, but I don't have a needle. Let me go borrow one."
Gu Jun breathed a sigh of relief: "I have a three-edged needle."
Gu Jun has diabetes and needs to test his blood sugar frequently. Sometimes it's inconvenient to go out, so he keeps a blood sugar meter, a prism, and alcohol in his car.
Zhang Fan sprayed alcohol on Gu Jun's feet: "I'll treat you today to delay things a bit. Bring the stuff to me in a few days so I can take a look."
Gu Jun asked worriedly, "What if the poison suddenly flares up in the next few days? What will happen to me?"
Zhang Fan: "Don't worry, you'll be fine within three days."
Zhao Lin comforted him, saying, "I've almost died several times, and it was Dr. Zhang who saved me. I trust Dr. Zhang."
With Zhao Lin's comfort, Gu Jun's anxiety gradually subsided. Zhang Fan's rescue of Zhao Lin just now really showed some skill.
Zhang Fan disinfected the area with alcohol, then pricked Gu Jun's thumb acupoint with a three-edged needle. He then circulated his spiritual energy to draw out the poison along the meridians.
As Zhang Fan continued his actions, the sticky, foul-smelling blood gradually drained out. At first, it was black and smelled like a stinking ditch. After Zhang Fan's repeated detoxification efforts, it eventually turned into a bright red.
Although Zhao Lin had witnessed Zhang Fan treating patients many times, he was still amazed. He stared intently, afraid of missing this miraculous scene.
In less than five minutes, Zhang Fan had expelled all the poisonous blood from Gu Jun's body, but more poison had penetrated deep into his internal organs, requiring further treatment.
Zhang Fan disinfected his hands with alcohol and said in a gentle voice, "There's no risk of getting sick in the next couple of days. Once you find the poison, I'll treat it accordingly."
Gu Jun said gratefully, "Dr. Zhang, if there's anything I can do to help you in the future, I'll do it without hesitation!"
Zhang Fan: "Meet at Zhao Lin's house in three days."
He happened to be treating Zhao Lin and Sun Yan, so they would go to the doctor together.
Gu Jun and Zhao Lin wanted to take Zhang Fan back, but Zhang Fan refused, as he didn't want to be too high-profile.
With no other option, Gu Jun and his companion had to leave with regret.
The policewoman was asleep in the passenger seat. Gu Jun was driving, and Zhao Lin was sitting in the back seat.
Gu Jun gave the policewoman a loving look before starting the car and driving away at a steady speed.
On the bus, Gu Jun wanted to recruit Zhang Fan, so he asked Zhao Lin about Zhang Fan's situation.
Zhao Lin showered Zhang Fan with praise, saying that there was no one else as outstanding as him in the world.
This was the first time Gu Jun had heard Zhao Lin speak so highly of someone. Previously, a friend's son, who had always been a prodigy, had only been praised by Zhao Lin as having a promising future.
His heart sank further, but he still tentatively asked, "What do you think about me letting him work under me?"
Zhao Lin shook his head: "Come on, the wages here are low and the work is tiring. Besides, Dr. Zhang's skills are top-notch, even in the whole country or the world."
These were all true, and Gu Jun was completely disheartened, muttering, "What a pity."
Zhao Lin: "It's a real pity. If only I had a daughter, I would definitely marry her to her. By the way, Lao Gu, I heard you also have a daughter."
Gu Jun glanced at the policewoman and sighed, "My daughter has always had her own ideas. I hope she can listen to me."
...
Zhang Fan did not go home immediately, but went to Zhang Youde's house instead.
Inside the main room, Zhang Youde sat under the dim light, his double eyelids drooping.
Upon seeing Zhang Fan, Zhang Youde instantly sobered up, poured Zhang Fan a glass of water and handed it to him: "Zhang Fan, it's been a long time since we had a private chat."
Zhang Fan: "Third Master, I know what you're going to say. Don't worry, as long as they don't bully me, I won't do anything to them."
Zhang Youde was afraid that the villagers would offend Zhang Fan, so he pleaded for them.
Zhang Youde sighed: "Child, the village has wronged you. Most of them are not bad people, but they are poorly educated and easily swayed. You should understand what I'm saying when you've seen the outside world."
"Third Master, I understand."
Poverty breeds cunning, wealth fosters conscience.
Because of the poor economy, people have a narrow perspective. They are surrounded by people who are like that. They have never seen the wider world, so they are easily influenced by the thoughts of others.
However, Zhang Fan only wants to make money now and doesn't want to waste his energy on these meaningless family matters.
Zhang Youde suddenly felt a heavy weight on his head, which slammed heavily onto the table. Fortunately, he managed to steady himself just before hitting the table, otherwise his head would have been split open.
"Third Master, let me take a look at you."
Zhang Youde's mood fluctuated too much today, the effects of the Qi-boosting pills had worn off, his body couldn't handle it, and he was slightly deficient. Diluting the Qi-boosting pills in water would have no effect.
Zhang Fan took out the Qi-replenishing pill, and was thinking of a way to get Zhang Youde to take it when Zhang Youde spoke up: "Is this the medicine you gave me before?"
Zhang Fan: "Does Third Master know?"
Zhang Youde: "Old people don't need much sleep. You sneaked into my house before and put something in the water. After I drank it, I felt much better. Also, the kimchi that Li Chunyan made, did you add something to it too?"
Zhang Fan never expected that Zhang Youde knew everything. The Third Master knew that he had added something to the water, and he even drank the water.
"Third Master, aren't you afraid I'll add something to the water?"
Zhang Youde: "Don't I know you, Zhang Fan? Anyway, you wouldn't hurt me."
Zhang Fan felt a warmth in his heart. Someone had added something to his water late at night, and he could drink it without worry, which showed that the other person trusted him extremely.
