Chapter 26

"WHAT! My illness can be cured!" Wu Potian's words made the middle-aged man even more convinced that Wu Potian must have known about his condition beforehand and deliberately found an excuse to approach him. After all, he had been suffering from this illness for many years and had even consulted experts at the Yanjing General Political Hospital, who were unable to cure it. How could he not be suspicious when a young man confidently claimed he could cure his illness?

However, despite his suspicions, the middle-aged man did not immediately question Wu Potian. His condition had indeed improved very naturally today, and the other party had indeed alleviated his symptoms without any medication. He asked Wu Potian with a puzzled look, "Doctor! Are you serious? Can my illness really be cured?"

Wu Potian was unaware of the middle-aged man's true thoughts. After obtaining the method to treat epilepsy, he was very confident and certain about treating the middle-aged man's condition. He nodded firmly and replied, "I am a doctor and would not joke about my professional ethics. As long as you follow my instructions and receive treatment, I can guarantee that you won't have to worry about this illness in six months."

"Six months! Even the experts at the Yanjing General Political Hospital said my illness cannot be cured, yet a young man dares to claim he can cure it in six months." Wu Potian's words made the middle-aged man even more convinced that Wu Potian had a hidden agenda. However, to find out Wu Potian's true intentions, the middle-aged man did not immediately expose Wu Potian's lie but instead put on a grateful expression and replied, "Doctor! As long as you can cure my illness, I am willing to pay any price."

Wu Potian, though unaware that his words had led the middle-aged man to misunderstand his intentions, chuckled when he heard the middle-aged man's promise and replied, "Sir! You don't need to pay anything. I am helping you because of my professional ethics. The treatment cost for your illness, including all the medications, will not exceed 8,000 yuan."

Wu Potian's words left the middle-aged man even more confused. In his mind, Wu Potian must have had a hidden agenda for approaching him, but he could not detect any hint of a plot from Wu Potian's words. Could it be that he was being too sensitive?

"Sir! Although the treatment cost is not high, you need to fully cooperate during the treatment process. If you, the patient, do not cooperate, even if I have the means, it will be of no use."

The middle-aged man, who had begun to doubt his own suspicions, immediately changed his mind after hearing Wu Potian's words. He became convinced that today's events were not a coincidence and that Wu Potian had a hidden agenda. He coldly asked, "Doctor! What kind of cooperation do you need from me?"

The middle-aged man's change in attitude left Wu Potian momentarily stunned. At this moment, he finally realized that the middle-aged man had been trying to get him to reveal his intentions all along. However, considering his age, the middle-aged man's reaction was understandable, so Wu Potian did not feel offended by the middle-aged man's doubts. He smiled and replied, "Sir! Are you suspicious that I am deceiving you? When I said I need your cooperation, it was not to gain anything from you, but to ensure that you follow my treatment methods. After all, curing an illness is one-third the doctor's effort and two-thirds the patient's effort."

Wu Potian then turned to a flight attendant standing beside him and asked, "Miss! Do you have paper and a pen?"

The flight attendant standing beside Wu Potian was Wang Peishan. When she heard Wu Potian's question, she snapped out of her reverie. Realizing that she had become infatuated, a blush rose on her smooth, delicate face, and she shyly replied, "Doctor! Yes, yes! I'll get them for you right away."

Wang Peishan quickly turned and walked to the front work area, gently patting her prominent chest and muttering to herself, "Wang Peishan! What's wrong with you? Just because he's handsome, do you have to act so infatuated?"

Wang Peishan soon returned, and Wu Potian thanked her with a smile. He took the paper and pen from her, quickly wrote down a prescription and his contact information, and then handed the paper to the middle-aged man, who was still on the ground. He instructed, "Sir! I have written down your treatment method. If you trust me, follow the prescription and buy the medication from a pharmacy. I have also written down my contact information. If you have any questions, you can call me anytime."

After handing the paper to the middle-aged man, Wu Potian continued, "Sir! If you take the medication I prescribed, remember to avoid smoking and drinking during the treatment period. Also, be moderate in your sexual activities and absolutely avoid excessive indulgence and the use of any auxiliary drugs." With that, Wu Potian turned and walked back to his seat.

Seeing Wu Potian leave and return to his seat, the middle-aged man became even more confused. If Wu Potian had a hidden agenda, how could he know about his private life and the fact that he relied on medication for his sexual activities?

"Sir! I think you might have misunderstood the gentleman who saved you. Although I am not a doctor, he did not use any medication to alleviate your pain; he only used a few silver needles. Can you imagine that such a doctor would be a fraud?" Seeing that the middle-aged man did not even thank Wu Potian for saving him and was instead questioning his motives, several flight attendants felt very dissatisfied. However, due to their job, they did not dare to question him. Only a middle-aged woman sitting in a nearby seat spoke up for Wu Potian.

With this opening, other first-class passengers began to criticize the middle-aged man for his ungrateful behavior.

Faced with the passengers' criticism, the middle-aged man became even more confused. Recalling the process of Wu Potian's treatment, he began to doubt his own suspicions and thought to himself, "Could I have really misunderstood him?"

As Wu Potian was flying back to Rongcheng, in the apartment he had rented in Yanjing, a young man angrily kicked the computer desk left behind and shouted, "Wu Potian! You made me lose my job. Don't think that leaving Yanjing will make everything okay. I will settle this with you sooner or later."

"Passengers! Our plane has reached the airspace above Rongcheng and is preparing to land. Please return to your seats, fasten your seatbelts, and stop using the restroom." More than an hour later, the cabin was filled with the polite announcement of a flight attendant.

With the sound of tires rubbing against the ground, the plane Wu Potian was on landed on time at Rongcheng Airport. As Wu Potian carried his backpack to the cabin door, a flight attendant with a youthful aura, comparable in appearance to Wang Peishan, immediately stepped forward, shook Wu Potian's hand, and thanked him softly, "Mr. Wu! Hello! I am the chief flight attendant of this plane. On behalf of all the crew members, I thank you for your help. We hope you will have the opportunity to fly with us again."

Wu Potian, thinking about the middle-aged man's suspicions, smiled helplessly and replied, "Chief Flight Attendant! I was just doing what any ordinary person would do."

With a heart full of doubts, the middle-aged man walked out of the airport. A car stopped beside him, and a young man quickly got out, took the middle-aged man's suitcase, and greeted him respectfully, "Secretary Lin! You're back!"

The middle-aged man, hearing the young man's greeting, opened the back door of the car. Just as he was about to get in, he saw Wu Potian pulling his suitcase out of the airport. He then instructed the young man standing outside the car, "Xiao Wang! Do you see that young man in the blue shirt over there? Find out his identity and report to me tomorrow morning."
