Zhang Qiming, who had become the Health Bureau Director of Yanjing City, was naturally no fool. When he saw the expressions on the faces of the experts, he immediately realized their intentions. These experts, who were not good at treating diseases, were surprisingly adept at such matters. At this moment, they completely ignored his father's condition, which made Zhang Qiming's heart boil with anger. He immediately drove away Chen Zengguang and the others, who were still not giving up: "Chen Zengguang! What are you doing? Xiao Wu needs to rest now. Go do what you should be doing and don't disturb his rest here."
Chen Zengguang, hearing Zhang Qiming's angry rebuke, finally remembered what was most important at the moment. Seeing Zhang Qiming's angry expression, Chen Zengguang quickly changed the subject and replied to Wu Botian: "Xiao Wu! Since that's the case, we won't disturb your rest for now. We'll come back to see you tomorrow morning, and then we can discuss Grandpa Zhang's treatment plan together."
Wu Botian, who was now focused on practicing all the movements of the first level of the Body Cultivation Technique, was most worried about these doctors纠缠着他 (constantly纠缠着他). So when he heard Chen Zengguang's words, he immediately replied: "I have already explained the patient's condition very clearly. As long as the patient takes the medication I prescribed on time, there will be no danger to his life within a year or two. As for a cure, with my current abilities, I am powerless in the short term."
"Doctor Wu! Is there really no way at all?" Zhang Qiming, hearing Wu Botian's reiteration that he could not treat his father's illness, immediately became anxious.
Wu Botian, seeing the worried expressions on Zhang Qiming and his sister, replied helplessly: "Director Zhang! Although your attitude, which is superior to others, makes me very uncomfortable, your filial piety has moved me. That's why I'm telling you the truth. With my current abilities, I indeed cannot treat your father's illness. However, just because I can't treat it now doesn't mean I won't be able to in the future. Before I leave the hospital, I will prescribe a formula for the patient. As long as the patient takes the medication according to the formula on time, there might be a chance for surgery in the future."
Seeing that Wu Botian had said so much, Zhang Qiming knew that Wu Botian was not deliberately shirking responsibility. Although this result was very disappointing, Wu Botian had given him a glimmer of hope. He immediately stopped pressing and thanked Wu Botian: "Doctor Wu! Thank you!"
Because today's treatment process made Wu Botian deeply realize his shortcomings, he was eager to improve his abilities. After his repeated requests, the hospital finally agreed to let him be discharged.
To quickly digest the medical techniques transmitted by Qinglong and learn all the movements of the first level of the Body Cultivation Technique, Wu Botian spent the next month and a half immersed in the learning space, except for eating, bathing, and using the restroom.
Although a month and a half is not a long time, in the compressed learning space, it was over two years. During these two years, Wu Botian not only successfully mastered all the movements of the first level of the Body Cultivation Technique but also fully digested the basic medical techniques transmitted by Qinglong. He also gained rich clinical experience through countless virtual treatments.
Of course, although Wu Botian's current learning and practice were progressing smoothly, he was not a genius. He occasionally made mistakes during his studies and practice, which led to system penalties. However, these penalties were negligible compared to the benefits he gained.
"Passengers, please note that the flight from Yanjing to Rongcheng is about to take off. Please fasten your seat belts and turn off all electronic devices." As the flight attendant's customary announcement in Chinese and English sounded in the cabin, Wu Botian looked out the window at the bustling Yanjing airport.
Recalling the summer four years ago when he had flown here alone, full of hope for the future, he never expected that the four years would leave him with only bitter memories. At this moment, Wu Botian silently vowed in his heart that one day, when he stepped back onto this land, he would make the city boil for him.
With a loud roar, the plane took off into the sky. Wu Botian looked down at the bustling city and silently said to himself, "Farewell, Yanjing! One day, I will definitely return."
As the city below gradually shrank and eventually disappeared from view, Wu Botian turned his gaze from the window. Thinking of his home, which he had been away from for over four years, and his parents who were always on his mind, Wu Botian wished he could fly back to them immediately.
"Sir! Would you like a drink or some tea?" Just as Wu Botian was sitting there, reminiscing about his childhood, a pleasant and friendly voice reached his ears, pulling him back to reality.
Hearing the flight attendant's polite inquiry, Wu Botian smiled and turned his head, his chiseled face showing a warm and approachable smile. He replied with a magnetic voice, "Miss! Thank you, just a glass of plain water will do."
At the moment Wu Botian turned his face, the flight attendant standing in the aisle seemed to be drawn to him like a magnet. Her beautiful eyes fixed on the seated Wu Botian, and her heart suddenly began to race.
"Wow! I've worked for so many years and occasionally served some celebrities, but I've never seen anyone as handsome as him. His fair and smooth face makes even me, a woman, jealous. His deep, black eyes seem to look into a deep, clear pool of water, hiding a profound and intelligent wisdom. Just one more look, and I feel like I'm about to be drawn in. If my boyfriend were even a third as handsome as him, I would be happy no matter what!"
Seeing that the flight attendant was not bringing him the water, Wu Botian felt very puzzled. Just as he was about to remind her again, Qinglong suddenly transmitted a message: "Master! The other party's magnetic field is chaotic, and her female hormones are rapidly increasing. Her desire to mate is very strong. If you give her some hints, her hormones will definitely reach the mating threshold."
Wu Botian, receiving Qinglong's message, was clearly taken aback. Although the flight attendant was in the service industry, she was at the top of her field and saw countless people every day. He did not believe that she was really as infatuated as Qinglong said. He quickly countered Qinglong with his mind: "Qinglong! What are you talking about!"
He then gently reminded the flight attendant, "Miss! Could you please bring me a glass of plain water?"
Hearing Wu Botian's reminder, the flight attendant snapped out of her reverie. Thinking about how she had lost her composure due to his handsomeness, her heart raced, and her face turned red. She subconsciously avoided Wu Botian's gaze, poured him a glass of water, and said softly, "Sir! Here is your plain water. If you need anything, please press the service button above your head, and we will serve you at any time."
Seeing the flight attendant's beautiful and blushing face, Wu Botian believed Qinglong's assessment to some extent. Recalling how Guo Aili had once tried to reverse the situation due to his changes, a confident light shone in Wu Botian's eyes. He took the cup from the flight attendant and thanked her warmly, "Miss! Thank you. If I need anything, I will press the service button."
Hearing Wu Botian's thanks, the flight attendant's heart raced like a startled deer, beating uncontrollably. Thinking about her infatuated behavior, a voice in her mind scolded her, "Wang Peishan! You consider yourself a beautiful and talented woman, and those so-called handsome men can't even catch your eye. Today, you lost your composure in front of this man, disgracing the Wang family's women."
"What disgrace? The love of beauty is universal. Men love beauty, and women love handsome men. It's only natural to look at a handsome man a few more times. It's not a big deal."
As this thought arose in Wang Peishan's mind, another voice immediately countered her previous thoughts.
