gently pressing on the patient's wrist at the cun (inches), guan (barley corns), and chi (feet) positions of the pulse, closing his eyes as he carefully sensed the pulse like a monk in meditation.The...Chapter 171: Xiao Yu's Standard

Zhang Dahan didn't expect Xiao Yu to reject so straightforwardly, but upon recalling what he knew about Xiao Yu's character, he understood that Xiao Yu must have his reasons.

However, when Zhang Dahan saw the old class leader, who had been quite kind to him in the past, suffering immensely, he decided to give it another try. Of course, he knew that once Xiao Yu made a decision, it was hard to change, but not trying felt like giving up.

"Third Brother, you see, the old class leader used to take good care of me. Seeing him suffer so much pains my heart greatly. Shouldn't we help him get his arm back"

Zhang Dahan scratched his bald head and nervously suggested this to Xiao Yu. He didn't know what to say about his younger brother; even when Old Zhong said he wouldn't save someone, not even if they were right in front of him.

If Zhang Dahan had decided to help, he would have even saved the scum on the plane. One could truly say that even Zhang Dahan couldn't fathom Xiao Yu's thoughts.

What Zhang Dahan didn't know was that the scumbag on the plane ended up dying at Xiao Yu’s hands.

Before coming to the deep sea, he had used the intelligence network of Sector 13 to investigate some things about Xiao Yu. However, what he found out were merely superficial matters; he didn't find any information regarding Xiao Yu's ghost-catching activities.

In fact, none of them truly understood Xiao Yu. As long as someone didn’t violate his principles, anyone was worth saving. But if they violated the standards in his heart, even if it was right before him, he wouldn't save them.

Overall, Xiao Yu's principle could be summarized in three points: first, those who are indifferent and have abandoned their wives won’t be saved; second, evil-doers will not be saved; third, corrupt officials won't be saved.

Now that Zhang Dahan had made such a request, Xiao Yu found himself in a difficult situation.

"Alright then! One year. Come find me after one year and I'll help him get his arm back as a punishment for him. Of course, if someone else helps him within this year, I won't hold it against him!"

After some time, Xiao Yu slowly said this to Zhang Dahan. He found no signs of bloodthirst or resentment on Ah Hu’s body, so he came up with a compromise.

Zhang Dahan looked at Ah Hu with concern; he was well aware of the suffering that someone went through when their arm was crippled by techniques. Moreover, one of Ah Hu's legs had also been crippled.

"Brother Dahan, don't trouble yourself over it. One year isn’t too long, and besides, I deserve this punishment for the mistakes I’ve made in recent years!" Seeing Zhang Dahan’s worried expression, Ah Hu said.

In these years, Ah Hu followed Cao Er and, due to the life-saving favor from Old Master Cao in the past, although unwillingly, he helped Cao Er do some harmful deeds. Although he was reluctant in his heart, what is done cannot be undone, and according to the law, what he did would warrant a few years in prison.

"Old Squad Leader, where are you staying now" Zhang Dahan saw Ah Hu agree and no longer said anything further.

"We originally stayed at a hotel in the east district, but we plan to go north today, so we just moved out!" Ah Hu looked at his three brothers who had been following him and replied.

“Oh, then come with me! Stay at my place for a year! After that, we’ll figure something else out!” Although Xiao Yu said that Ah Hu could find other doctors to treat him, Zhang Dahan knew this method wasn't easy to solve; otherwise, he wouldn’t have suffered for those years either. So, he planned to keep Ah Hu here and make another plan a year later.

“T-this...” Ah Hu hesitated as now not only was it his situation but also a few brothers were with him.

"Big Brother, just stay for now! I’ll go north with Ah Long and Dabao to look around. If we find a doctor who can heal your injury, we'll come back to get you!" Tieming glanced at the two beside him and said to Ah Hu.

Hearing Tieming's words, both Ah Long and Dabao also understood his intentions: one, Ah Hu’s wound indeed wasn’t suitable for a long journey; second, they now knew Zhang Dahan's identity, so their leader would live well here while they didn't know him very well.

“No way! We either go together or stay together!” Ah Hu looked at his brothers who had been following him and said firmly.

The moment Tieming mentioned going north, Ah Hu knew it was an excuse. He understood that they saw he now had a good home and didn't want to burden him.

“Brother Dahan, please help me this time! You’re quite someone here now; can you find them some decent jobs” He was well aware of the character of these brothers, although over these years, they did do many unrighteous deeds, but mostly it involved fighting for Cao Er or bullying others.

“Well... Okay then! Come with me first!” Zhang Dahan hesitated and looked at the three before saying.

Regarding their background, with Zhang Dahan’s resources, he could easily investigate. If there was indeed no major issue, finding them jobs would be a small matter.

"Third Brother, I originally intended to have you over for drinks; looks like it has to wait now!" Zhang Dahan looked at Xiao Yu and smiled wryly.

“Haha, when there’s time, I’ll go find Big Brother. We’ll definitely drink properly!” Xiao Yu chuckled.

"No! You come over in the next couple of days and we spar!

Since learning that Ah Hu's injury was inflicted by Xiao Yu, Zhang Dahai had been itching to take action. He knew about Ah Hu’s fighting skills and thus felt intensely curious about Xiao Yu's abilities.

After Zhang Dahai left with Ah Hu and his group, Xiao Yu's clinic returned to its usual calm state.

Xiao Yu sat quietly reading a book, seemingly unaffected by the visit from Ah Hu’s group. Time passed slowly as he immersed himself in his reading.

The next day, afternoon

With nothing particular happening at Xiao Yu's clinic, he decided to go buy a car. A few days ago, Xiao Yu had asked Wei Jun to help him get a driver’s license; the certificate arrived via express delivery yesterday.

Now that Xiao Yu possessed his driver’s license, buying a car became a priority since it was inconvenient for him to travel without one.

Outside the clinic, Xiao Yu hailed a taxi and headed towards the auto city. However, before he could reach his destination, his phone rang.

Xiao Yu pulled out his phone and saw that it was Director Hu from the Shendai People's Hospital calling. He answered: "Hello, Director Hu!"

"Doctor Xiao, hello! Do you have some time this afternoon" A tired voice came through the phone.

“What’s up Does Director Hu need something” Xiao Yu was quite puzzled. Since meeting with him on a plane, he had no further interaction with Director Hu. What could he possibly want now

"Well... Doctor Xiao, we have a patient here whose illness is very peculiar... But... The family requested us to seek out skilled doctors for a consultation since our hospital’s capacity is limited."

Director Hu spoke somewhat hesitantly; as a nationally renowned expert in his field, he didn't often need to ask for assistance.

The night before, Shendai City People's Hospital's emergency department received an unusual patient who seemed to suffer from self-harm syndrome and was actively harming himself.

Despite the hospital’s best efforts, the condition showed no improvement. When the patient’s father arrived at the scene, the medical staff scrambled to assemble all of their experts for a consultation. Through the night, these experts tried every possible method but saw no change in the patient's state.

The patient's father held significant influence; doctors had exhausted themselves trying to diagnose and treat him without success. He decided to seek help from Beijing’s medical community and promised generous rewards to whoever could cure his son.

The hospital's executive vice president position is currently vacant, so everyone knows what this generous reward means. Therefore, the doctors who are qualified to compete for the position of vice president are all looking for highly skilled physicians.

Huo, the director, is no exception. He has been in his current position as a department head for over ten years and naturally dreams of advancing further. It's worth noting that the president of the Deep Sea People's Hospital is concurrently held by an undersecretary from the Health Bureau, so this executive vice president role can be considered the actual leader of the hospital.

"Oh, then I'll head over in a moment!" After some thought, Xiao Yu agreed to do it.

However, immediately after agreeing, Xiao Yu wore a slight smile that was tinged with disappointment. It seems he won't be able to buy the car today and will have to wait for another day when he has more time.

After hanging up the call, Xiao Yu instructed the taxi driver, "Driver, we're not going to the auto city anymore; let's go to the Deep Sea People's Hospital!"

"Sure thing!" The driver happily agreed and started driving towards the Deep Sea People's Hospital.

The driver was secretly pleased. Initially going to the auto city was already a sizable job, but unexpectedly, before reaching it, he had to turn back, making an additional trip across town. Today's fare alone would be equivalent to two or three of his usual fares combined.

When Xiao Yu arrived at the Deep Sea People's Hospital, Huo, the director, was already waiting by the entrance. Not only that, but there were several doctors in their forties and fifties standing around, occasionally checking their watches as if they too were waiting for someone.

"Doctor Xiao, you're here! I'm truly sorry to trouble you with another trip!" When Huo saw Xiao Yu step out of the taxi, he hurried over to greet him and even paid the taxi fare on his behalf.

"Director Huo is being too kind," thought Xiao Yu as he noticed Huo waiting for him at the entrance. Although it was strange in his heart who exactly fell ill, it clearly wasn't an appropriate place to ask such a question.

The other doctors glanced over at Xiao Yu and felt a sense of relief. At this moment, they had already ruled out Director Huo as their competitor.

These individuals are all well-known in the medical community, yet they have been unable to handle their case. If it weren't for the matter affecting their career prospects, none of them would lower themselves to seek external help.

However, upon seeing that Director Huo had invited such a young helper, they immediately felt reassured. This person looks barely out of college and how could he possibly treat any illness

"Professor Ye, you're here!"

"Hehe, Xiao Tian, why are you being so formal Why did you come all the way over here his medical skills were there for everyone to see! Others might not know about it, but they knew that even experts from the Central Health Bureau couldn’t cure Song Shanshan’s son or Zhong Lao's illn...
