Chapter 88: Chapter 88: This Woman Is Unusual

Wang Chenning wasn’t satisfied with what Ling Weiguo said, so he asked very detailed questions.

Ling Weiguo answered patiently and was very cooperative during Wang Chenning’s follow-up examination.

Combining what Ling Weiguo said with his own examination, Wang Chenning gained a deeper understanding of the complexity of the condition.

Afterward, he gave Ling Weiguo another treatment.

This treatment session was a bit longer, lasting an hour and a half.

By the time the treatment was over, the city lights were just beginning to glow as night fell.

"Haha, that felt amazing!" Although Ling Weiguo was drenched in sweat and felt utterly exhausted, his spirits were incredibly high, and his laughter was heartier than usual. "Not only can I feel my legs again, but my hands have a greater range of motion, and even my mind feels much clearer. Chenning, my young friend, I have just one word for your medical skills: Impressive! If I had to use two words, it would be: Very impressive!"

The normally stern and unsmiling Ling Weiguo actually made such a joke, leaving everyone around him dumbfounded.

Wang Chenning’s strength was nearly depleted. Drenched in sweat, he collapsed onto the floor, exhausted, and said with a weak smile, "Mr. Ling, have someone prepare a pen and paper. I’ll write you a prescription. The combination of acupuncture, therapeutic massage, and medicine should yield good results. As for the massage, I won’t be doing it myself. Just have one of your attendants massage you for a period of time each day. I’ll write down the specific technique!"

Ling Weiguo immediately ordered one of his aides to prepare pen and paper.

After taking the pen, Wang Chenning wrote out the prescription with a remarkably elegant flair. He then emphatically stressed one point: all the ingredients on the prescription had to be of the highest quality, and they must be wild-grown, not cultivated.

He then wrote down the acupressure massage method and handed both documents to the staff member waiting by his side.

Wang Chenning’s handwriting was magnificent, almost comparable to that of a master calligrapher.

"They say a person’s handwriting reflects their character, and it’s absolutely true!" Ling Weiguo said, praising him repeatedly after taking the prescription and massage instructions from Wang Chenning and looking them over. "This calligraphy of yours is truly excellent. When you have time someday, write a piece for me. I’ll hang it in my room!"

Ling Weiguo’s words once again left those around him stunned.

This was an unmistakable signal that he held Wang Chenning in particularly high regard!

In all these years, who had ever received such treatment?

"No problem!" Wang Chenning readily agreed. "When the time comes, I’ll write Wang Changling’s ’Out of the Fortress’ for you, Mr. Ling!"

"Excellent!" Ling Weiguo laughed heartily again. "If the Flying General of Dragon City were still here, the barbarian cavalry would not dare cross the Yin Mountains. Chenning understands my heart, haha!"

After everything was settled, Wang Chenning declined Ling Weiguo’s invitation to stay for dinner and prepared to take his leave.

This was a great disappointment to Lu Yuanshan.

It was a rare opportunity to be here, and he was getting along so well with Ling Weiguo. In his mind, this was the perfect time to further strengthen their relationship.

Ling Weiguo’s status was extraordinary. If they could establish a connection with him, neither of them would have to worry about their futures.

And the dinner table was the best place to build rapport and deepen personal bonds.

But since Wang Chenning wanted to leave, he couldn’t very well stay behind, so he had to leave as well.

As Wang Chenning was leaving, he instructed Ling Weiguo not to drink any alcohol, to go to bed early that night, and to have his aides give him a thorough massage first thing in the morning to consolidate the effects of today’s treatment.

Ling Weiguo readily agreed and also requested that Wang Chenning stop calling him "Mr. Ling" in the future. "You should call me ’Uncle,’ just like Xiaohan does!"

Wang Chenning accepted immediately. "Uncle Ling!"

Just as Wang Chenning and Lu Yuanshan left the small building where he lived, Ling Weiguo picked up the phone on his desk and dialed a number.

"Elder Zhao, I met the young man who’s dating Xiao’an today." Ling Weiguo spoke with a hint of reverence as he recounted what had just happened, then added his own assessment: "This young man is impressive. He carries himself differently from others. There’s an inherent self-respect in him that’s neither servile nor overbearing, so you don’t find him arrogant. From what I can see, he’s no ordinary person. If he’s given the chance, his future accomplishments will be anything but small!"

"I understand. I’ll meet him one of these days."

"Good!"

Ling Weiguo didn’t say much more. After saying goodbye, he hung up the phone.

After Wang Chenning and Lu Yuanshan walked out of the small building, the tall woman who had led them in a few hours earlier reappeared.

It was dark now, but she still wore a mask over her face, which felt a bit strange.

She said to Wang Chenning and Lu Yuanshan in a toneless voice, "I’ll lead you out."

As they were walking out, Wang Chenning couldn’t contain his curiosity and asked, "Why are you still dressed like that so late at night?"

The woman stopped in her tracks. After staring at Wang Chenning for a moment, she reached up and pulled down her mask.

And so, Wang Chenning saw a face covered in scars.

The woman had to be quite young; there wasn’t a single wrinkle at the corners of her eyes. Wang Chenning estimated she couldn’t be more than twenty-five. But there was a noticeable scar between her eyebrows, another running from her right ear to the corner of her eye, and a very distinct mark below her left eye.

There were also several other obvious scars on her forehead.

It was as if someone had taken a knife and slashed her face over and over again. The sight was, at first glance, rather horrifying.

Seeing the woman’s face, Lu Yuanshan’s expression changed in an instant.

Wang Chenning was also startled, but he immediately understood something.

"Principal Lu, please go wait for me in the car. I’d like to have a private word with this lady," Wang Chenning said, gesturing for the woman to step aside with him.

Lu Yuanshan tactfully took his leave and went to wait for Wang Chenning in the car outside.

"Logically, even if you were injured, you shouldn’t have been left with scars this severe," Wang Chenning said, signaling for the woman not to put her mask back on so he could get a closer look. "There are only two possibilities for this outcome: one, the wounds weren’t treated in time, and they formed scars after scabbing over; or two, the blade that cut you was coated in a poison that disrupted the skin’s natural healing process."

"What are you trying to say?" the woman asked, her face cold as she stared at Wang Chenning. A thick killing intent filled her eyes, making her scarred face seem all the more terrifying. "If you’re trying to mock me, believe me, I’ll..."

"You know who I am. I’m a doctor, and an exceptionally skilled one at that," Wang Chenning interrupted her bluntly. "I might even be able to cure Ling Weiguo’s injuries, so what makes you think I can’t handle a few minor scars on your face?"

Wang Chenning’s words made the woman’s expression change again.

Although her gaze was still intimidating, the killing intent in her eyes had vanished, and her voice softened slightly. "You can get rid of the scars on my face?"

"While no one can give a one hundred percent guarantee in medicine, when it comes to your scars, I’m confident I can remove them completely."

The woman was clearly becoming agitated, which was evident from the rise and fall of her chest.

The woman was very tall, probably over 172 centimeters, and well-developed. However, her quickened breathing and heaving chest didn’t come across as sexy. She was a woman who exuded a murderous aura from head to toe, inspiring only fear.

"Then treat me!" the woman demanded stiffly. "I will thank you properly!"

"First, tell me your name."

"Wu Ziyue." The woman hesitated for a moment but still told Wang Chenning her name.

"Miss Wu Ziyue, this is my phone number." Wang Chenning recited his number to Wu Ziyue. "Come find me when you have five consecutive days free. After five days, your face will have begun to recover to its former appearance."

He paused, then added, "I can even make your face more perfect than before."

Wu Ziyue asked, "And what do you want in return?"

Wang Chenning replied with a grin, "What are you willing to give me in return?"
