Village Doctor's Women-Chapter 151 - 146 Liu Yuke’s Shock

"He might be the best doctor in the world..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Peng Qing’s gaze fell on the armrest beside him, where the handprint was still clearly visible. Peng Qing pursed his lips. I should probably revise that. "Or perhaps his fighting skills are the best, too," he added.

"Dad!" Peng Pingan’s face was filled with surprise. "Did Doctor Wang really do this?" To him, Wang Jian looked like any other doctor, maybe even a bit fair-skinned. He didn’t seem connected in any way to the kind of strength needed to crush steel with one hand.

"Yes, several of us saw it with our own eyes," Peng Qing nodded, a smile never leaving his face. "There’s no faking this."

"So, if I learn from the doctor, I can do this too?"

"I suppose so." Peng Qing nodded, remembering what Wang Jian had said earlier. He noticed the excitement in his son’s eyes and didn’t try to discourage him. In fact, even if Peng Pingan had been unwilling, he would have urged him to do it. No matter what Peng Pingan had been through, he was still a fourteen-year-old boy with the dream of being a hero.

After hearing his father’s story, Wang Jian had become, in his heart, a hero-doctor with superhuman abilities—a martial arts master forced to hide his true identity and live a secluded life in some backwater town. Peng Pingan grew excited just thinking about it.

The idea that things from superhero movies and novels were happening right in front of him was absolutely thrilling. The thought that he would not only recover but could also learn from such a person—and perhaps even become one himself—made Peng Pingan’s face flush with excitement. In his excitement, Peng Pingan hadn’t even noticed that his father was also looking at the handprint with great interest.

"Dad! When do I start learning?" Peng Pingan blurted out, not even stopping to consider if he wanted to.

Peng Qing was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter. It had been a long time since he had seen Ping An so spirited. Still laughing, he ruffled his son’s hair and said, "That will depend on your master."

Bursts of laughter occasionally echoed from the room as the father and son discussed the future. Meanwhile, outside the door, someone was growing anxious. Ever since seeing Wang Jian and the others come out, Liu Yuke had been on edge. He had learned from Cai Xing and his daughter that Peng Pingan had awoken and was now waiting by the door, desperate to confirm the truth of the matter. He waited for quite a while before the conversation and laughter inside finally died down.

The moment the door opened, Liu Yuke was shocked once again. He saw Peng Pingan walking out on his own. Although the boy still looked weak, he no longer needed a wheelchair. This change was a complete turnaround from before.

After all, Liu Yuke was one of the doctors who had issued the critical condition notice. The change in Peng Pingan now seemed like a final burst of vitality before death, but Liu Yuke was an expert. He could discern a great deal about Peng Pingan’s physical state with a single glance. At the very least, he could tell from the boy’s expression that the full-body pain he had been experiencing was gone.

"What exactly did that Doctor Wang do?" Liu Yuke couldn’t help but ask. The Peng father and son looked over, clearly seeing the disbelief on his face.

Liu Yuke had done a lot to help with Peng Pingan’s condition, and Peng Qing remembered his kindness, so he didn’t ignore the question. After thinking it over carefully, he finally said slowly, "He... just gave Ping An a massage."

"What?" Liu Yuke exclaimed in disbelief. "Just a massage?" With an expression as if he had seen a ghost, Liu Yuke repeatedly sized up Peng Pingan. "How is this possible?" he muttered. "To achieve this much with massage alone..."

Of course, Peng Qing knew it was more than just a massage; it definitely had something to do with the "qi" Wang Jian had mentioned. However, he wasn’t sure if he should bring it up. It might be one of Wang Jian’s secrets, making it inconvenient for him to say more. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Sensing the silence from Peng Qing and Peng Pingan, Liu Yuke suddenly realized his words were inappropriate. "Sorry, Mr. Peng, I didn’t mean that," he apologized hurriedly. "I’m just so astonished. After all, we checked Pingan’s condition thoroughly. For such a sudden change to occur is a medical miracle. If we could learn the reason, it might provide direction for many other medical problems."

"I don’t blame you," Peng Qing said after glancing at Peng Pingan and seeing no change in his expression. He then turned to Liu Yuke. "However, as for the specific reason, perhaps you should ask Doctor Wang. He’s the one who would know best what happened."

With that, Peng Qing led Peng Pingan away. He had to go thank Wang Jian properly.

Watching the two depart, Liu Yuke had a sudden realization and clapped his hands. "Right! I can just ask Doctor Wang! I have to get to the bottom of this." His eyes twinkled. He had actually heard a little about Wang Jian’s theories before and had dismissed them as superstition. But now that there were tangible results, things were different.

This could be an entirely new field, which for a scholarly prodigy like him was a fatal attraction. When superstition is proven to be real, it becomes an unstoppable force. If it could solve such an incurable disease, what else couldn’t it solve? Perhaps current medical challenges, including cancer and AIDS, could all be cured...

Liu Yuke stood there, his mind racing. The more he thought, the more he wanted to find Wang Jian and understand the principles behind his words. But I can’t be too hasty, he thought. I can’t rush in and startle Doctor Wang.

At this moment, Liu Yuke’s skepticism was completely gone. His perspective had clearly shifted, and he felt just as he did in his student days when he would seek out an old professor for guidance. He found nothing wrong with this shift in attitude. He knew that if any member of the consulting team of experts learned what had happened to Ping An, they would all react the same way. "There’s no end to learning." That saying certainly wasn’t just empty words.

"I wonder what Doctor Wang likes... My previous attitude was poor. I should apologize properly," Liu Yuke muttered. He suddenly remembered Wang Jian’s status as the Cai Family’s contracted doctor. Maybe I can get some answers if I ask Cai Xing and his daughter.

He wasn’t wrong. When he found Cai Xing, the man didn’t hide anything from him.

"Wang Jian used to study Chinese medicine in the Capital City, but he offended a chief physician at a hospital there and was pushed out. He didn’t want to work at other hospitals, so after much thought, he returned to his hometown to serve his family and neighbors. He told me that practicing medicine is the same everywhere—it’s always about saving people. Speaking of which, it must have been fate. I first met him because he saved my life; otherwise, you wouldn’t be seeing me now," Cai Xing said with a reminiscent sigh. Their meeting had indeed been a fateful one.

"Ah! So Doctor Wang went through something like that!" Upon learning that Wang Jian had essentially been forced to return home, Liu Yuke showed no disdain. Instead, his face was full of admiration as he said, "His willingness to return to his hometown to serve the people makes him a role model for our generation. I never even considered such things while I was abroad..." After speaking, Liu Yuke actually looked ashamed. His words were sincere; his recent decision to accept a position at a top-tier hospital in the Capital City was indeed partly influenced by a desire to return home.

To Cai Xing, however, his words sounded like flattery. It was as if he was meeting this renowned genius for the first time. Liu Yuke was a famous figure in the global surgical field, consistently hailed as a medical prodigy, yet Cai Xing had never seen this young man humble himself to praise another so effusively. And once Liu Yuke started, he couldn’t stop. He went from praising Wang Jian’s character to his medical skills, finally focusing on his completely different treatment methods.

It was just blatant, unending praise.

Hearing this, Cai Xing finally understood: this man was fascinated by Wang Jian’s medical skills. He didn’t understand medicine, so he had never recognized Wang Jian’s true value before. Now, hearing Liu Yuke’s words, it seemed Wang Jian’s treatment methods belonged to an entirely new field...

With this realization, Cai Xing’s own perspective shifted, and his appreciation for Wang Jian rose to a whole new level. At the same time, he pondered a question. No wonder my body has been getting better and better with Wang Jian’s recent conditioning treatments. How could ordinary Chinese or Western Medicine possibly have this effect? In his heart, Cai Xing found himself thoroughly convinced by Liu Yuke’s words.
