Chapter 2822 - 2884: For Evolution and Elimination

The treatment for the little girl had been completed twice, and just as the third session was about to begin, Li Yifei received a call from the little girl’s father. On the other end, the father sounded a bit anxious, "Mr. Li, are you... available?"

"Hmm?"

"Something’s happened here and we really don’t know what to do. We wanted to ask for your help!" the little girl’s father said.

This family was not one to constantly ask for favors, Li Yifei knew that. So since they were calling for help, it clearly indicated they were facing trouble. Li Yifei replied, "What happened? You tell me first."

After hearing the little girl’s father’s description, Li Yifei was also taken aback. It turns out that before going to the big hospital for treatment, the girl’s parents had believed what their friends had said: that there was an old Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor in Haicheng. This person was especially miraculous, familiar with many long-lost medical techniques, particularly powerful in treating cancer. Rumor had it that under his care, many types of cancer had been completely cured.

From this alone, Li Yifei knew this was a scam. Cancer at the current stage, worldwide, is basically incurable. Those that can be cured are either miracles or detected early, with small affected areas, leading to some isolated treatments. This only means there is a possibility of cure, not a guaranteed cure.

To claim that anyone can guarantee a cure... well, that would be a one hundred thousand percent scam. Even Li Yifei couldn’t claim a one hundred percent cure for cancer. He’s no deity—and knows how much effort he’s truly put into treating the little girl.

So when someone claims to be a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine, would Li Yifei just believe them? Li Yifei could be one hundred percent sure this was deceitful; such medical techniques couldn’t exist. Treating cancer with acupuncture and ’fire needles’? That’s pure nonsense. How low an IQ must one have to believe this?

Okay, according to the little girl’s father, it’s not just that someone believes it, but many do. That doctor named Dan Guimin, he—or rather his schedule—is packed daily, so much that even squeezing in appointments is impossible. And the cost of treatment is high; a single session costs a thousand, and a typical course involves ten to fifteen sessions.

Li Yifei considered himself quite worldly, yet even hearing this made him feel Huaxia truly is vast with many people, where more people means more fools, and more fools naturally means more swindlers, due to enabling conditions. What made him angrier, though, was that having cured the little girl, the credit had been claimed by someone else—what kind of behavior is that? No wonder Li Yifei found scars on the little girl’s stomach and back; he had initially thought these were due to cancer lesions until it turned out to be burns from some ’fire needle.’

This is extremely comical and indeed very ironic. Although Li Yifei hadn’t yet seen the specific treatment process, merely hearing the father’s description was enough to definitively conclude this was utter nonsense, deceit. A countless number of scientists, countless medical workers conducting clinical treatments, drug trials, with tens of thousands globally possibly tackling various cancers daily, yet you tell me... burning skin with some kind of Mugwort stick cures cancer?

This isn’t science; it’s metaphysics. This is more outrageous even than the True Qi cultivated by cultivators. Of course, saying one hundred percent is a bit too absolute. What if there was some chance, like if the person was a cultivator too and practiced very niche, medical focused cultivation, so as to conceal their extraordinary skills, using this absurd approach to treat, leading to genuine cancer cures...

Of course, such a possibility is extremely slim. In any case, having heard of this, Li Yifei couldn’t just ignore it. Contracting cancer, beyond being an incurable disease, is already severe enough for patients due to immense pain, both physically and mentally, watching themselves die day by day—it’s terrifying. The patient’s family, too, feels powerless witnessing their loved ones suffer, with almost no means to alleviate the pain, sharing in the psychological torment. Yet, at such a time, there are those who deceive patients and families, offering false hopes, swindling their money, increasing their suffering.

Since Li Yifei learned of this, he was determined to investigate thoroughly. If the person was genuine, Li Yifei would apologize. If it was a scam, then such people would definitely face consequences from Li Yifei.

Especially now that the person was using the little girl’s case to advertise: "Look, the little girl’s sickness has healed; the severe cancer, the spread cancer cells, all cured after his treatment." Doesn’t that imply his medical techniques are outstanding?

If that leads to more believers, wouldn’t it mean more victims?

Having agreed to meet with the little girl’s father, Li Yifei also mentioned the case to Wu Shuwei, who was attending a lecture.

"What are you going for?" Wu Shuwei soon replied.

Li Yifei briefly explained, and hearing such a matter, Wu Shuwei immediately said, "Wait for me ten minutes, I’m done with class in a moment. No classes this afternoon, I want to join you."

"Okay, no rush. You head towards the entrance after class, I’ll wait for you there," Li Yifei said.

After the incident with Xiang Ba, although there were still classmates enamored with Wu Shuwei, none dared act impulsively anymore. No one was sure what kind of relationship she and Li Yifei had, as the two were living together, they’d seen them leave together and return late.

After discovering Li Yifei’s identity, along with recent happenings, Zhang Bai sensed Li Yifei’s strength and dominance and dared not show off for the time being. Despite still wanting to seize this opportunity—Wu Shuwei was exceptional in every aspect, such a rare find.

Of course, that’s just his one-sided thought. Right now, attending class intentionally, seeing Wu Shuwei arrive alone while Li Yifei was absent, Zhang Bai wanted to ask her to lunch after class. Seeing Wu Shuwei sending messages, with a happy smile, Zhang Bai felt displeased, but could only swallow that.

After class finally ended, Zhang Bai hurriedly approached, trying to flirt with Wu Shuwei, "Miss Wu, no classes this afternoon, let me take you to lunch. A restaurant opened a few days ago, quite unique. Let’s try it together."

Wu Shuwei moved aside and said, "Sorry, Zhang, I have something to attend to soon."

"Ah?" Zhang Bai was slightly disappointed but didn’t give up, saying, "Well, take care of it first, dinner works too. But you’re leaving campus, right? Let me drive you, I brought my car today."

"No need, someone’s waiting for me," Wu Shuwei replied.

Still not giving up, Zhang Bai said, "Well... alright, let’s just walk out together, I’m leaving campus too."

Wu Shuwei didn’t respond, and Zhang Bai walked beside her. As they neared the entrance, Zhang Bai looked around and saw no one, just about to offer to send her again, when he noticed Li Yifei standing in the shade with a cigarette. Zhang Bai’s heart sank instantly; this was the man who had dismissed him several times. Facing him made Zhang Bai truly panic inside.

With a smile, Wu Shuwei walked over, completely ignoring Zhang Bai, while he lowered his head, avoiding eye contact. Li Yifei naturally acted as if he didn’t see him; characters like flies—if they know their place, they quietly leave; if not, they can’t blame others for being rude.

The scene that nearly made Zhang Bai’s eyes bulge unfolded: Wu Shuwei walked over to Li Yifei, who extinguished his cigarette, disposing of the butt in the trash, then reached out—Wu Shuwei’s little hand fell into Li Yifei’s, and the two walked hand in hand. Zhang Bai’s teeth trembled a few times as he stood there, just watching the couple leave campus, with pain surfacing on his face.

No wonder the two were living together right from the start; no wonder Wu Shuwei always responded with that attitude; no wonder Li Yifei always had that unfavorable look towards him... He realized he was the clown, performing enthusiastically, only now understanding these two had long been together.

For a moment, Zhang Bai even resented Wu Shuwei: "Why didn’t you say earlier that you were together? Why let me hold on to hope? Damn it, it’s like being played with, like a monkey!"

Of course, that was just his perspective; ultimately, it was his own doing and unrelated to others.

Li Yifei and Wu Shuwei walked out of campus, possibly in front of classmates, in front of school staff, publicly holding hands—she still felt shy, particularly in broad daylight. But Li Yifei’s attitude was firm, holding her hand without letting go; Wu Shuwei tried to pull away twice but failed, so she could only... with a hint of delight, acquiesce.

The joy stemmed from her genuine desire to walk hand in hand with Li Yifei, wherever they were headed. And Li Yifei now fulfilled this wish of hers.

They hailed a taxi, Li Yifei mentioned the location, first going to meet the little girl’s father, and coincidentally conduct the third treatment. Anyway, the little girl’s recovery was good, completing the final treatment session was ideal.

Upon meeting the little girl, Wu Shuwei presented her with a gift—a tablet computer. A gift spotted yesterday while dining out and shopping. While not extremely expensive, it was still over two thousand yuan. The family hesitantly refused several times, but Li Yifei urged, "Accept it. The child’s recovery is what matters; study well and repay your parents in the future!"

"Uncle, don’t worry, I’ll definitely study hard and aim for a good university," the little girl promptly promised. Li Yifei nodded and didn’t correct her address of him—’Uncle’ was fine at his age. After an hour-long third treatment, confirming the little girl’s complete recovery, they left, intending to visit the so-called Master Physician practitioner.
