Chapter 4 Impersonation

Zhou Yongliang asked again, "Is it a temporary alleviation of symptoms or a complete cure?"

Dr. Xie said, "A complete cure, absolutely a complete cure. This child has no problems now, and the family is very satisfied with the treatment effect."

"Dr. Xie, I didn't expect your Medical skill to be so good."

Zhou Yongliang didn't know the truth, and said to Ma Haidong with a smile, "President Ma, your hospital has a master."

Xie Haitao said with a beaming smile, "Director Zhou, you flatter me. As a doctor, this is my duty."

Though he spoke humbly, he was secretly overjoyed. Being appreciated by the head of the health bureau meant his future would be limitless.

There was still a vacant vice president position in the hospital, and it might just be his.

Zhou Yongliang said no more, pulled out his phone, and dialed a number: "Mr. Dong, I have good news for you. Dr. Xie of Jiangnan Hospital has cured this illness. Bring your son over immediately."

Then he made another call: "Deputy Director Zhao, immediately notify the other hospitals to transfer all children with this special illness to Jiangnan Hospital. Dr. Xie Haitao here has found an effective treatment method."

Xie Haitao was completely stunned. He originally thought there was only one such special case, and that he could just take the credit and be done with it, but he didn't expect so many subsequent patients.

Ma Haidong also didn't know what exactly happened and asked, "Director Zhou, what's going on? Why are there so many similar cases?"

Zhou Yongliang said, "These sick children are all students from Jiangnan City Central Primary School. This afternoon, a child picked up a bat, and 12 children who had contact with the bat all developed symptoms of high fever and coma.

It was initially determined to be an infection with a new type of virus, which is not recorded in the national virus database and for which there is no effective medicine.

I dispersed the sick children to various hospitals in Jiangnan City for treatment, hoping someone could cure this illness.

Other hospitals haven't found any effective treatment methods, but Dr. Xie successfully cured that case, and the effect was so good. Jiangnan Hospital has made a great contribution this time."

He then said to Xie Haitao, "Dr. Xie, as long as you cure all these children, I will give you a great commendation."

"Uh…"

Cold sweat ran down Xie Haitao's forehead. He had just stolen Ye Bufan's credit; how could he know how to cure this illness?

Seeing his expression, Ma Haidong asked, "What's wrong, Dr. Xie? Is there a problem?"

"No… no… no problem."

At this point, Xie Haitao couldn't admit that he was an impostor, so he could only grit his teeth and endure.

He had studied some traditional Chinese medicine before and knew a little about acupuncture. Moreover, he was present when Ye Bufan treated the little boy just now and remembered the Acupoints clearly.

He believed that performing acupuncture with the same technique should be able to cure this illness.

Thinking of this, his heart settled down a lot.

At this moment, Ma Haidong saw Ye Bufan and Ouyang Lan standing nearby and asked, "What's going on with these two people?"

Xie Haitao hastily said, "They are the patient who was just cured and his family, waiting to discuss the medical fees with me."

Ma Haidong said, "Discuss things outside; this is the ICU ward, and outsiders are not allowed to enter freely."

"Yes, yes, yes, I'll have them leave now." Xie Haitao turned around and said, "We can discuss the medical fees; I'll talk to you after I'm done."

The implication was that as long as they didn't expose him on the spot, the medical fees would be negotiable.

Ye Bufan's lips curled into a cold smile. He had originally intended to expose this guy, but now he wasn't in a hurry.

To steal his credit, one must have the ability. He would wait and see how he would manage.

He took his mother outside the ICU ward and found a long bench to sit on.

Ouyang Lan said, "Son, we have 20,000 yuan. Let's talk to Dr. Xie later and see if we can use that money to settle the medical fees."

Ye Bufan said, "No, he's overcharging. We can't indulge his bad habits; we won't give him a single cent."

As the mother and son were talking, there was a sudden screech of brakes at the hospital entrance, and two black luxury cars stopped in front of the door.

A Middle-aged Man got out of the car, and four black-suited bodyguards behind him carried a stretcher, on which a comatose little boy lay.

"Mr. Dong, you're here."

Upon seeing the Middle-aged Man, Zhou Yongliang greeted him warmly.

Although he was a bureau chief, the other party's status was also extraordinary: Dong Tianda, chairman of Jiangnan Tianda Group, a magnate in the catering industry.

Tianda Group held significant influence; in Jiangnan City, from the top-tier Imperial Kitchen Grand Restaurant to the common street food stalls, half of them belonged to the Dong family.

(Chapter not finished, please turn the page)

Dong Tianda not only possessed billions in assets but also had an extraordinary background, donating a seven-figure sum to the health industry annually.

Naturally, Zhou Yongliang was extremely polite to such a prominent figure.

However, Dong Tianda was in no mood for pleasantries at this moment. He anxiously said, "Director Zhou, quickly find a doctor to treat my son. He has a fever of 40 degrees, and I'm afraid that too much time will affect the child's intelligence."

"Mr. Dong, don't worry, everything is ready."

Zhou Yongliang said, instructing the nurse to place the little boy on the emergency bed, then turned to Xie Haitao and said, "Dr. Xie, quickly treat Young Master Dong."

"Yes, Director."

Xie Haitao replied and walked over.

Dong Tianda said, "Dr. Xie, as long as you can cure my son, Tianda Group will surely reward you handsomely!"

"Mr. Dong, you're too kind. Treating patients and saving lives is my duty."

Xie Haitao spoke grandly, but his heart was overflowing with joy.

His good fortune had arrived. As long as he could cure Dong Tianda's son, he would gain both the appreciation of his superiors and considerable benefits. This was a win-win for fame and fortune.

While dreaming, he took out the prepared silver needles and approached the little boy's bed.

Ma Haidong asked in surprise, "Dr. Xie, what are you going to do?"

Xie Haitao said, "President, at present, Western medicine has no effective drug for this viral infection. It can only be treated with acupuncture."

Zhou Yongliang said in surprise, "Dr. Xie, you are also proficient in traditional Chinese medicine?"

"Not proficient, but I happened to see an acupuncture technique in a medical book that can treat this illness."

Zhou Yongliang praised, "Dr. Xie is truly extraordinary, proficient in both traditional Chinese and Western medicine. Hurry up and treat him; the other children will probably arrive soon."

Xie Haitao took a deep breath, replayed Ye Bufan's needling technique in his mind, then took out a silver needle and pricked the Shencang Acupoints on the little boy's chest.

With the first needle inserted, the little boy's body trembled. As the second silver needle was inserted, the expression on his face became incredibly pained.

Dong Tianda nervously said, "Dr. Xie, are you sure this method works?"

There was no turning back once the arrow was shot. Xie Haitao gritted his teeth and said, "It definitely works. The previous case was cured this way."

Seeing that Dong Tianda said nothing more, he took out a third silver needle and pricked the Tiantu Acupoints on the little boy's chest.
