Thinking of this, the middle-aged man was undoubtedly very grateful that he had come to Hancheng today; otherwise, he would have missed such an important moment. At this moment, the middle-aged man hurriedly thanked with joy, "Doctor Wu! Alright! I'll come back to Hancheng to see you in a week!"

When Wu Potian heard the middle-aged man's gratitude, he was about to respond when a message suddenly came from his brain: "Congratulations, Master, for gaining two points of gratitude!"

The system's prompt undoubtedly surprised Wu Potian. The last time he treated the middle-aged man, he didn't gain any gratitude points, but now he had, even though it was only two points. However, many ants can still make a lot of meat. At this moment, he looked very serious and earnestly instructed the middle-aged man, "Last time I told you to remember to avoid smoking and drinking during the medication period. Additionally, you need to be a bit restrained in your sexual activities. Absolutely do not indulge excessively, and do not take any auxiliary drugs."

When the middle-aged man heard Wu Potian's words, his face immediately showed an awkward expression. He glanced at the patients around him and, seeing that they were not paying attention, he assured Wu Potian, "Doctor Wu! Rest assured! I guarantee I will not violate your instructions during the treatment period."

Treating a disease, no matter how difficult it is, ultimately relies on the doctor for one-third and the patient for two-thirds. If the patient does not cooperate, even the most skilled doctor will be of no use.

Wu Potian was very confident in treating the middle-aged man's condition with the method he had exchanged for reward points, but the entire treatment process required the patient's full cooperation. Any slight carelessness would result in the treatment failing, and it might even worsen the patient's condition. To avoid this, despite the man's assurance, he still sternly warned, "Mr. Lin! Your condition is different from ordinary diseases. There can be no carelessness in the treatment process. If you cannot do this during the treatment period, not only will all the efforts be in vain, but your condition may also worsen. What I need is not your assurance but a 100% commitment. If you cannot do it, you'd better find another doctor."

Seeing Wu Potian's serious expression, the middle-aged man seemed to realize how difficult his condition was to treat. However, thinking that the disease that had tormented him for years might be cured, he firmly assured Wu Potian, "Doctor Wu! You can rest assured. I definitely won't joke with my own life."

The middle-aged man then took out a business card from his pocket, which read "Lin Xudong," and handed it to Wu Potian with both hands. He then politely asked, "Doctor Wu! This is my business card. I wonder if you could give me your phone number. If I need to consult you about the treatment, I can contact you."

Wu Potian's phone number was from Yanjing. If used locally, it would be charged as a long-distance call. After leaving Yanjing, he had planned to bid farewell to Yanjing and return to get a local number, but due to the recent busy schedule, he hadn't had the chance to do so yet.

At this moment, when Wu Potian heard Lin Xudong ask for his phone number, he remembered this matter and apologized to Lin Xudong, "Mr. Lin! My original phone number is from Yanjing, and I plan to stop using it now. For the time being, you can call my home phone number, which is 05. Write it down."

Lin Xudong wrote down the clinic's phone number, glanced at the corridor in the backyard, and a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes. He then politely said goodbye to Wu Qingsheng and Wu Potian and left the clinic by car.

When Wang Hu had someone upload the video in the morning, although many people saw it, it was during working hours, so most netizens didn't see it. However, during lunchtime, when veteran netizens went online during their breaks, the video went viral.

Although some netizens had already uncovered Xu Guozheng's identity through human flesh search, the information was very limited. It wasn't until the entire online community began to search for the Xu Chunming family that the Xu Chunming family was completely exposed. The many wrongdoings that Xu Guozheng had committed using Xu Chunming's power were revealed, and many netizens began to condemn the Xu Chunming family, demanding that Xu Chunming step down and that Xu Guozheng be severely punished.

When Xu Chunming learned that the video of Xu Guozheng's conflict with Wu Potian had been uploaded to the internet, he had been closely monitoring the situation. However, he never expected that in just a few hours, the video would rise to the top of the search rankings. Seeing the rumors online, Xu Chunming finally realized he had made a grave mistake.

Although Xu Chunming deeply regretted pushing Wang Hu to the brink, making him completely break ties with him, he knew that if the situation worsened, it would put him in a very passive position. Sitting alone in his office all morning, Xu Chunming's eyes flashed with uncontrollable anger, and his teeth ground together like a lion that had been provoked. He angrily cursed, "Wang Hu! You bastard! When I get through this, I'll skin you alive."

Although Xu Chunming wanted to tear Wang Hu apart, he knew he had to compromise when necessary. If someone fanned the flames at this moment, he would not only lose the competition for the director's position but might even lose his deputy position.

Thinking of this, Xu Chunming finally put aside his deputy's dignity and personally called Wang Hu.

When Xu Chunming called, Wang Hu had just finished lunch at Wu Potian's house. Seeing Xu Chunming's phone number, he smiled and said to Wu Potian, who was resting on the sofa, "Potian! It's our Deputy Xu. It seems that today's video has pushed him to the brink."

Wu Potian, sitting beside him, thought of the Xu family's actions and felt a surge of anger. He coldly laughed, "If you don't kill a snake, it will come back to bite you. The Xu family is a venomous snake. To deal with such a venomous snake, we must finish them off completely, leaving them no chance to recover. However, in this matter, you must distance yourself, as this is not a straightforward affair. If your superiors ask, push it onto me. Don't let the Xu family drag you down with them."

Wang Hu, of course, knew that if this matter was traced back to him, he would be marginalized in the bureau. That's why he had entrusted someone he trusted to handle it. When he heard Wu Potian's warning, he smiled and replied, "Potian! Don't worry about this. I won't get myself involved."
