Chapter Ten: Another Move Revealed

  "What the heck is this guy doing driving?" Huang Bingqiang slammed on the brakes, stopping the car in its tracks, and cursed angrily.

  "It's Min Fang!" Cheng Xiaodong recognized the car and whispered to Huang Bingqiang.

  "He came here... looking for you?" Huang Bingqiang was somewhat puzzled.

  "It should be", Cheng Xiaodong said, and he had already gotten off the bus. At this time, Min Fang also got out of his car and happened to see Cheng Xiaodong, loudly calling out: "Xiaodong! I was just looking for you".

  "Editor-in-Chief Min, what's this... Oh, Auntie's waist injury isn't serious?" Cheng Xiaodong was somewhat perplexed. Had everything been settled at the hospital? But there was no need to be so "diligent and righteous" in coming to find him.

  "Where's the doctor, Xiaodong? I came specifically to ask you to take a look at my mom in the hospital. Those Mongolian doctors are helpless!" Min Fang said with a worried face, grabbing Cheng Xiaodong and saying, "The X-ray has been taken, it's just dislocated. After enduring the pain of reduction, she still can't move. Clearly, it's already been reduced, but it hurts even more than before the reduction. My mom really can't take it!"

  "Alright, that's good, one more person can have some ideas, I'll go to the hospital with you!" Cheng Xiaodong hesitated for a moment, turned back and said a few words to Huang Bingqiang before getting into Min Fang's Crown. Min Fang was really anxious, quickly turning the car around and speeding away in the opposite direction.

  "The doctor at the hospital was helpless, and my mom was in so much pain that she couldn't bear it. My family members were also anxious and didn't know what to do. That's when I called the Agricultural Institute and found out you were here, so I came to find you." Min Fang drove the car very fast on the road and briefly told Cheng Xiaodong about the medical situation at the hospital. Cheng Xiaodong thought to himself: "This person is quite filial, but is this considered seeking medical attention in a disorderly manner?"

  In the streets of Dongshan in 1988, there were not many vehicles. Ming Fang drove at full speed, and didn't know how many red lights he had run through. It only took twenty minutes to arrive at Dongshan Hospital. After getting out of the car, he quickly brought Cheng Xiaodong into the emergency room. At the entrance of the emergency room, a crowd of people had already gathered.

  "Big brother, sister-in-law, make way, I've brought Cheng Xiaodong!" When he reached the entrance, Min Fang parted the crowd and bowed his head to say to a person squatting on the ground with sweat all over their face.

  "Ah! Found it? Great, mom has fainted!" The person at the door heard this and hurriedly stood up, wiping away sweat and said, "You know how much endurance mom has, if she couldn't bear it anymore, she wouldn't have cried out in pain. But those doctors are like a bunch of noisy sparrows, chattering nonstop, not one of them can come up with a solution."

  "Big brother, don't worry, Xiaodong is a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, let him take a look, maybe he can cure our mother!" Min Fang pulled over Cheng Xiaodong and brought him into the house. In the emergency room, more than ten white coats surrounded the hospital bed, leaving no gaps. Min Fang hastily pushed aside a few of them and squeezed in.

  On the hospital bed, Han Jie's face was deathly pale, her eyes tightly closed, and her body covered in sweat. A man with a strong presence sat at the head of the bed, gripping Han Jie's hand tightly, his expression extremely solemn.

  "Dad, this is the Cheng Xiaodong I was just talking about. He easily healed Xiao Tao's arm," Min Fang said, pulling Cheng Xiaodong to his side and saying to the man.

  Min Nan held his wife Han Jie's hand, looking at her distorted face due to pain, feeling extremely heartbroken. They were a couple who had been through thick and thin together, with deep feelings for each other. If it weren't for his wife using her weak shoulders to support him, comforting him with all her heart, he would have found it hard to survive in the cowshed. The Min family wouldn't be where they are today if not for that. But as soon as he returned from downstairs, he received news of his wife being hospitalized due to injury and rushed over, only to see a group of experts and doctors standing by helplessly, watching his wife writhe in agony. If it weren't for the calmness he had cultivated through years of hardship, those mediocre doctors would have been chased away by him long ago. Upon hearing Min speak, sharp gazes immediately turned towards him.

  "Let me take a look at the X-ray first!" Cheng Xiaodong turned his head to say to Min Fang, ignoring Min Nan's gaze.

  "Where's the film? Where's the film?" Min Fang hurriedly urged those doctors.

  "Here, Chief Editor Min, just now we discussed again..."

  "Alright, you all continue discussing, hand over the film!" Min Fang didn't have the patience to listen to him ramble on, directly snatching the X-ray from his hand and handing it over to Cheng Xiaodong. The doctor was shocked but didn't dare say anything, only looking at Cheng Xiaodong with a suspicious gaze.

  Cheng Xiaodong took the film and looked at it in the sunlight outside the window, which was very consistent with his previous judgment. He then returned the film to Min Fang and said to Min Nan Zhu: "You are Director Min, I have seen the film, and it is very consistent with my original diagnosis. Don't worry, first let go of your wife's hand, I need to check the wound again."

  "Dad!" Min Fang saw that his father seemed unaffected and quickly called a doctor.

  "Alright!" At this point, there was no other choice. Although Cheng Xiaodong's youth made him hesitant, Min Nan Zhu still gave in.

  Cheng Xiaodong walked to the bedside, lowered his head and said to Han Jie: "Mrs. Min, when I set your bones in a moment, don't be nervous, I'm confident that I can relieve your pain, just bear with it for a moment, relax your whole body"!

  Han Jie was in agony, biting her teeth and not making a sound. When she heard Cheng Xiaodong's words, her spirit slightly relaxed, and she squeezed out a muffled hum from between her teeth.

  Cheng Xiaodong took off his shoes, stepped over Han Jie's body and got onto the bed, lying down next to Han Jie. Ignoring the surprise of the people around them, he grasped Han Jie's shoulders with both hands, and then wrapped his legs around Han Jie's legs.

  Han Jie, although numb from the severe pain, could still feel it when a young man lay on top of her. She felt a surge of shame and annoyance, which only intensified when Cheng Xiaodong pinned her shoulders and legs, making her feel violated. She had already forgotten Cheng Xiaodong's instructions to relax her body, and her entire body tensed up involuntarily, convulsing slightly.

  This was exactly the result that Cheng Xiaodong wanted. Taking advantage of Han Jie's full force, her muscles and bones were tense for a moment, and then she suddenly exerted strength with both hands twisting, two legs coiling, and waist straightening. Suddenly, there was a cracking sound, and Han Jie let out a cry of surprise. Cheng Xiaodong had already released her and climbed up from the bed.

  Everyone in the room was stunned, it was too yellow and violent. If it wasn't for Cheng Xiaodong's quick reaction, these medical experts would have suspected that this young man was intentionally harassing Han Jie.

  Looking at Cheng Xiaodong who was putting on his shoes and getting off the bed, Min Fang couldn't believe it and muttered: "This... is that all?"

  "Ah!" Cheng Xiaodong nodded firmly, "Although the X-ray was taken at an angle that wasn't quite right, it still confirmed my suspicions from a different perspective. The reason why you doctors couldn't find the cause of your mother's pain is because women have wider pelvises. If you don't take the shot from a slanted angle towards the lower abdomen, you won't be able to discover the affected area."

  It was as if to prove the miracle of Cheng Xiaodong, Han Jie, because of Hu Ran's ease and with Cheng Xiaodong's previous "sexual harassment" lingering, curled up on the hospital bed, let out a sound, and excitedly said to Min Nan Zhu: "Nan Zhu, it seems... it doesn't hurt anymore"?

  "You... you're all right, of course!" Min Nan-zhu was still dazed and couldn't understand the situation. Just now, his wife had hugged that young man, and he was about to explode in anger. But then, Han-jie's actions and words suddenly made him feel calm and clear-headed.

  Min's family knows how to repay kindness, but they won't let the protagonist rise to fame overnight. To forge iron, one needs to be strong themselves. As for Xiao Cheng's future prospects, he still needs to work hard and make steady progress after a good start.

  P.S: Although it's a sprint, the data is really ugly, so I'm begging book friends to vote and collect!
