"Very well, Divine Doctor Lin. As for the consultation fee..." Liu Tianyi was no fool; if the other man did not bring up the fee, he still could not omit it - to pretend ignorance would be to show a lack of tact.
"Grandpa Guan, do you have a bank account? Just transfer it directly," Wei Zhao said, turning to Guan Xuewen.
"Transfer it to me?" Guan Xuewen was briefly taken aback, then understood that Wei Zhao meant for him to handle the planning of the pharmaceutical company. He nodded. "That works. Then transfer it to me for now. Mr. Liu, you know my account number, I trust?"
"I have it," Liu Tianyi said with a nod. He had already planned to transfer two million yuan to Guan Xuewen as a consultation fee, so he had jotted down Guan Xuewen's number as well. Liu Tianyi called one of his subordinates directly and had him transfer the prepared one hundred million yuan into Guan Xuewen's account. Moments later, Guan Xuewen's phone chimed with a deposit notification.
Once everything was confirmed, Wei Zhao nodded in satisfaction. Liu Tianyi, it seemed, was a man of his word; there was no need to cut all ties with him in the future. It was just that wife of his - she truly defied all praise.
In an empty room upstairs, Wei Zhao had Liu Zhenhu lie flat on his back. He asked Guan Xuewen for a box of silver needles, then quietly fixed his gaze on Liu Zhenhu, in no hurry to begin needling, turning a matter over in his mind.
He had already examined Liu Zhenhu's condition the first time they met, so there was no need to check again. What he was mulling over now was the treatment plan: how to cure Liu Zhenhu's angina pectoris as quickly and effectively as possible.
Of course, a complete cure was impossible - at least not now. Some of Old Man Wei's miracle elixirs were tucked away as jealously as treasures, and there was no way he could get his hands on them even if he wanted to.
But keeping the attacks at bay for ten years - that much was doable. It just carried a faint whiff of deception.
Wei Zhao sighed. Never mind. He would hold it in check for ten years first; later, if Liu Zhenhu really could live to a ripe old age, it would not be too late to think of something else.
With that thought, Wei Zhao swiftly began inserting needles into Liu Zhenhu's body, so fast that even Guan Xuewen, master of acupuncture, was stunned - flowing clouds and running water, done in one continuous breath.
Two minutes later, Wei Zhao began lifting, thrusting, twirling, and rotating each needle...
"Neiguan, Ximen, Yinxi, Juque, Shanzhong - channel your energy and feed it in..." Elder Jiao's voice suddenly sounded at Wei Zhao's ear.
Wei Zhao was overjoyed. He had no idea what manner of being Elder Jiao really was, but with his help, things would clearly go twice as well with half the effort! Wei Zhao hastened to do as instructed...
At that moment, the handles of the energy-fed silver needles abruptly began to tremble with a "buzz buzz," as though driven by something; even after Wei Zhao's hand left the handles, the needles went on quivering over Liu Zhenhu's body without pause...
Guan Xuewen's eyes went wide as he stared in disbelief at the silver needles on Liu Zhenhu's body! What kind of acupuncture was this? He had never seen anything like it - had never even heard of it! He had never known that silver needles, once parted from the practitioner, could still "dance" upon the patient's body!
