After Dao Dahai placed Lei Jun on the bed, Cheng Xiaofan again inserted Shennong needles into his fractured leg.
This time, Lei Jun experienced what true pain was. His face turned ashen, and beads of sweat the size of beans covered his forehead.
As the Dragon Power began its repair, that bone-deep comfort once again spread throughout his body.
He dared not groan anymore, gritting his teeth tightly, fearing that if he showed any signs of enjoyment, Cheng Xiaofan might use the excuse of experimenting on him and kick him again.
"Heh heh, how does it feel now?"
At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan leaned in and asked, "Remember, you must tell the truth. Only then can I control the needle's intensity."
"Otherwise, if the intensity is insufficient, it's very easy to cripple your leg!"
Hearing this, how could Lei Jun dare to grit his teeth anymore? With a "poof," his resolve broke!
"Hahaha, it feels so good!"
Hearing his nephew's perverse laughter, Dao Dahai looked terrified. Would Cheng Xiaofan treat him until he became a typical mental patient?
Whoosh!
Cheng Xiaofan waved his hand, retracting the Shennong needles.
Through this acupuncture session, he finally confirmed two points: First, using Dragon Power to treat illnesses was extremely potent. Second, acupuncture could also bring a pleasurable experience to the patient.
However, it wouldn't be as exaggerated as Lei Jun's reaction.
People like Lei Jun were typically weak-boned, unable to endure the slightest pain or appreciate the slightest pleasure.
"Xiaofan, how is this kid doing?"
Seeing Lei Jun still lying on the bed, Dao Dahai anxiously asked Cheng Xiaofan.
Cheng Xiaofan replied, "His leg injury has been treated by me. There are no problems at all!"
Slap!
Upon hearing this, Dao Dahai slapped Lei Jun's face. "Kid, your leg is healed, why are you still lingering on my bed? Get lost!"
"I..."
Lei Jun scrambled up from the bed, clutching the half of his face that felt numb and burning, and glanced fearfully at Cheng Xiaofan. "Uncle, I... I'm afraid he'll still experiment on me!"
Recalling the kick Cheng Xiaofan had given him earlier, that feeling of excruciating pain that made life worse than death, he had the urge to wet himself.
From now on, even if he were beaten to death, he wouldn't dare to provoke anyone around Cheng Xiaofan.
This guy was a typical devil!
Hearing this, Dao Dahai looked at Cheng Xiaofan with confusion and asked, "Xiaofan, do you still need to experiment on this kid?"
Cheng Xiaofan shook his head, glancing at Lei Jun with disdain, and said, "Forget it. For the remaining two experiments, I'll go back to the village and find a pig to test the needles on."
"..."
Lei Jun's face instantly turned as purple as a pig's liver in anger!
The words sounded okay.
But when he thought about it seriously, the insult was unbearable!
"Aren't you going to get lost yet!"
Dao Dahai roared at his nephew.
"I'm going, I'm going!"
Hearing this, Lei Jun leaped off the bed and immediately sprinted out at a hundred-meter-dash pace.
At the same time, he secretly vowed in his heart that if he ever saw this surname Cheng again, he would flee far away as quickly as a rolling ball.
This kind of person was not someone that he, Lei Jun, could afford to provoke.
"Director Dao, I should be going too!" Cheng Xiaofan said goodbye and was about to leave when Dao Dahai hurried forward and stopped him.
Dao Dahai said, "Xiaofan, don't go. I've already sent someone to buy groceries."
"It's almost evening. Let's have a few drinks together."
"Alright, I'll listen to you, Director Dao!"
Cheng Xiaofan could see that Director Dao genuinely wanted to befriend him, so he couldn't refuse the man's hospitality.
Besides, in this area of Zhuxi Village, if any trouble arose, he couldn't resolve everything by force alone and sometimes needed to rely on the police.
Just then, a middle-aged woman walked in from outside the door.
The middle-aged woman was quite fair-skinned, with a tall and slender build. Her eyebrows were bright, and her long hair was neatly tied up at the back of her head. She must have been a beauty in her youth.
When she smiled, a pair of dimples appeared on either side of her cheeks.
She carried a bamboo basket in her left arm, filled with vegetables and fish.
The middle-aged woman smiled slightly upon seeing Cheng Xiaofan, with a hint of shyness. From her appearance, she didn't seem to be Dao Dahai's woman.
While the woman was entering the kitchen, Cheng Xiaofan asked Dao Dahai, "Who is this woman?"
Dao Dahai quickly smiled and said, "She's a part-time helper I hired from nearby. Sometimes when I can't do certain things myself, I ask her to help."
Cheng Xiaofan frowned slightly and said, "Director Dao, you wouldn't have brought the part-time helper to bed, would you?"
"If that's the case, it's not only damaging to your image but also a betrayal of your wife in the city!"
"Xiaofan, why would you say that?"
Dao Dahai looked flustered upon hearing his words.
Cheng Xiaofan gave a cold smile and said, "My meaning is very clear. Can't you understand human language?"
Ma Dahai sighed deeply and said, "Xiaofan, to be honest, this woman's name is Fang Xiuqin, and our relationship is indeed not ordinary. Some people at the station know about it."
"Fang Xiuqin lives on the outskirts of town. Her husband passed away many years ago, and she has a child who is studying. I met her when I was promoting public security policies in the suburbs."
Cheng Xiaofan said, "Then how will you explain your relationship with her to your wife in the city?"
Upon hearing this, Ma Dahai's eyes turned slightly red. "My wife passed away three years ago. If she were still alive, how could I possibly be involved with another woman?"
"So that's how it is!"
Cheng Xiaofan said apologetically after hearing this, "Director Dao, I'm sorry. I misunderstood you. I thought you were using illegal means to coerce this woman into a relationship with you!"
He had never expected things to be this way. He said again, "Director Dao, I'm truly sorry!"
"Xiaofan, it's alright!"
Dao Dahai, however, couldn't help but ask curiously, "How did you see that I had a relationship with her?"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "It's very simple. I saw it from the qi between the two of you!"
"Normal people generally have an invisible aura surrounding their bodies. The strength of this aura also represents the person's health status."
"In Traditional Chinese Medicine, we emphasize observation, listening, inquiry, and pulse-taking. In the highest realm of observation, it's 'wang qi,' or observing qi, which is the art of discerning a person's condition through their qi."
He paused and smiled slightly, "In the art of observing qi, it's also possible to tell if there's a relationship between a man and a woman."
"For example, if a man and a woman accidentally brush past each other, and their auras suddenly merge, it indicates that they have that kind of relationship!"
"Furthermore, I can also judge how many times they've been together based on the depth and color of the merged aura between them!"
Dao Dahai's jaw dropped in astonishment.
"Do you know how many times Fang Xiuqin and I have been together?" Overwhelmed by curiosity, he couldn't help but ask.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled slightly and said, "Thirty-six and a half times. Am I right?"
