Chapter 1281: Chapter 1280: Gout
Lin Xiang was wearing a dress and stockings, still looking quite good, and now Ye Qiu asked her to take off the stockings and high heels.
After Lin Xiang took off her high heels and stockings, Ye Qiu noticed her soles were still quite pale, possibly because they hadn’t been tanned by the sun.
“Close your eyes.” Lin Xiang had no choice but to close her eyes.
With her eyes closed, Ye Qiu carefully checked her right heel, which had twisted when she was running with Ye Qiu earlier. Walking in high heels usually requires caution, let alone running in them.
Her heel was now red and swollen, even with ointment applied, it would likely take until tomorrow for the swelling and pain to subside.
Now when Ye Qiu directly helped alleviate it, slowly for about ten minutes, Lin Xiang, with her eyes still closed, felt a cooling sensation on her right heel. She felt it no longer hurt.
When Ye Qiu released Lin Xiang’s right foot, he said, “It’s done.”
Lin Xiang stood up, ready to leave, when she suddenly saw Lin Yazhong open the door and walk in. Unexpectedly, his daughter was wearing stockings. What’s going on?
“You two just?”
“Dad, I was running away from the gangsters Wang Zicheng sent after me, and my right heel got twisted. Ye Qiu just helped me treat it.”
Lin Xiang said shyly.
So that’s what happened, Lin Yazhong thought they were up to something. Upon hearing it was caused by those gangsters, he said, “I’ve already called the Wang Family. They’ve apologized, saying Wang Zicheng won’t hassle you anymore.”
“Dad, do you believe what the Wang Family says!”
“Of course, for Chinese and overseas Chinese, business is about trust. Without trust, who will cooperate with you? It’s much stricter here than back on the mainland.”
Lin Yazhong said.
Lin Xiang glanced at Ye Qiu and hurriedly went outside after putting on her stockings. Lin Yazhong came in and looked at Ye Qiu, saying, “Dr. Ye, I have a business partner coming tomorrow who wants to seek treatment from you.”
“No problem.”
Ye Qiu replied.
After Lin Yazhong left, Ye Qiu took his clothes to the bathroom for a cold shower.
It’s really hot here, and having run outside with Lin Xiang for so long, he was sweating all over.
After showering, he came out feeling comfortable and opened his computer to surf the internet, only to find it was in traditional Chinese characters, and most mainland websites wouldn’t open without using a VPN.
Since that was the case, Ye Qiu stopped browsing and planned to continue cultivating the Primordial Five Emperors Technique. Last night, Ye Qiu hadn’t cultivated, so he wanted to quickly break through.
Early the next morning, Ye Qiu woke up, washed up, and when heading downstairs, he happened to encounter Lin Xiang. Lin Xiang greeted Ye Qiu, looking noticeably different from when he had just arrived.
His impression of Ye Qiu had greatly improved, realizing Ye Qiu’s skills were not just limited to being a great doctor.
“Dr. Ye, my business partner is coming soon, have breakfast with him later.” Lin Yazhong said.
Ye Qiu nodded, wandered around the yard, and saw the Strait of Malacca in the distance, along with some cruise ships.
At eight-thirty in the morning, a black Mercedes pulled up, stopped outside, and a man around fifty got out. He was slightly overweight and not very tall, and most importantly, he appeared to walk with some difficulty.
After he got out, the driver and bodyguard followed, carrying gifts in his hand.
Seeing Lin Yazhong already waiting, Lin Yazhong quickly said, “Mr. Wang, it’s good you came, why bring gifts?”
“It’s the right thing to do.” Mr. Wang said with a smile.
Lin Yazhong wasn’t expecting Mr. Wang to have gained so much weight compared to before.
As they headed towards the living room, Mr. Wang asked, “Lin, is the Divine Doctor you mentioned really so amazing, able to cure anything?”
“Of course, he’s saved me three times already, now he’s staying at my house. If he goes back to Jinling, you’d need to fly there.”
“That’s great! My illness is getting worse, look at how difficult walking has become; now the family business is passed on to the younger generation.”
Mr. Wang said.
“You sit tight, I’ll get Dr. Ye.”
Ye Qiu was outside looking at the fish pool containing the Arowana. Wealthy people in China keep these red Arowana in fish tanks, but here in Malaysia, they keep them in private fishponds.
Yesterday in the morning, Ye Qiu discovered this fish pool and saw the pond water looking very clear with a few half-meter-long Arowana swimming around.
Yesterday, Lin Xiang said these Arowana are worth hundreds of thousands each, even more.
These have been kept since they were very small; Lin Xiang’s grandfather had them.
Apparently, these Arowana eat anything: small fish, frogs, loaches, shrimps, centipedes, cockroaches, etc. Ye Qiu occasionally saw servants feeding them.
Now while watching them, he saw Lin Yazhong approaching.
“Dr. Ye, do you like this Arowana?”
“It looks quite good.”
“These are Feng Shui fish, very popular among Southeast Asian Chinese, even affecting the mainland, hence their high cost. Like one fish costs around 800,000 Jilin Te, over a million Huaxia Yuan.”
That’s really not cheap!
“If you like them, I’ll have someone from the market find a few pretty ones and ship them to your home by air!”
Lin Yazhong said.
“Uncle Lin, let’s talk about it later!”
“Mr. Wang is here, please have a look at him.”
Now Ye Qiu followed Lin Yazhong inside, seeing a casually dressed slightly overweight man sitting and drinking tea.
However, he seemed to be constantly holding his heel.
“Mr. Wang, this is Dr. Ye I mentioned.”
Lin Yazhong sat down.
“Dr. Ye is so young?”
Mr. Wang was quite surprised.
Yet, surprise aside, with so many people in China, of course, there are skilled doctors, so he asked, “Dr. Ye, can my illness really be completely cured?”
“I have to see what illness it is first!”
“It’s this gout, my feet are killing me!” Mr. Wang rolled up his trouser legs, and Ye Qiu was very surprised. Both feet were deformed, even looked swollen.
Without looking further, Ye Qiu already knew this was the gout Lin Xiang mentioned.
“Gout and gout stones!” Ye Qiu said.
“That’s the illness, I drank frequently and ate seafood when I was young without paying attention. Now it’s like this. Doctors say my urine has problems; I can’t discharge uric acid, so I can’t eat anything now.”
