"Tell me the specifics of your condition!" After Xiao Hongyang let go of his wrist, he thought for a moment and then slowly said to Liang Shang.
He had just taken Liang Shang's pulse but couldn't find the cause of the illness. Therefore, he started asking some detailed questions in hopes that by comparing specific symptoms with the pulse patterns, he could pinpoint the source of the disease.
Liang Shang thought for a moment before saying, "Restlessness, insomnia, lack of appetite, vomiting, damn it, whatever I eat comes back up. Also, I can't see sunlight; seeing it makes me irritated. I have no energy at all and just want to lie down, but I can’t fall asleep!"
After hearing Liang Shang's symptoms, Xiao Hongyang fell into deep thought. After a while, he took out paper and pen to write a prescription and said, "Based on your symptoms, you should have anorexia nervosa. Here’s some medicine; try it and see how it works."
Liang Shang's symptoms were very similar to those of patients with anorexia nervosa, which led him to this conclusion.
Actually, Xiao Hongyang was somewhat puzzled because Liang Shang shouldn’t have developed such a condition. Generally, people suffering from anorexia nervosa are those who try extreme methods for weight loss and easily develop the syndrome.
In Beijing, Xiao Hongyang had encountered several patients with anorexia nervosa, usually young women desperately trying to lose weight, so they ended up with this disorder. But someone like Liang Shang shouldn’t have contracted it!
Xiao Yu remained silent the entire time, allowing Xiao Hongyang to handle the situation. Although he could see the specific cause of the illness, he didn't say anything; letting Xiao Hongyang encounter such cases was beneficial for him.
"What a load of crap! How many doctors have I seen They all said I had anorexia nervosa. If it were really that, would you be able to treat me It should've been cured by now!"
Hearing Xiao Hongyang's words, Liang Shang threw his cup on the ground and shouted.
Xiao Hongyang was stunned by this outburst. Everywhere he went for consultations, people treated him with respect, but here he received such treatment.
Xiao Yu knew that this person was the boss of Top Sky Group and had already experienced the ruffians from the group before, but didn't expect this reaction from the boss himself.
When Xiao Hongyang recovered his senses, he pointed at Liang Shang in anger, unable to speak a word.
"Point your finger! Point it and I'll cut it off! You're a quack!"
Liang Shang saw Xiao Hongyang pointing at him; he grabbed the pointing finger and slapped it aside fiercely, his face contorting with ferocity as he said.
In recent days, how many doctors he has consulted and how much medicine he has taken. Most of the conclusions drawn were anorexia, with these doctors prescribing some medication to observe any effects. However, there was no effect at all, coupled with his煩躁的心情，看到蕭鴻陽也這麼說，他頓時爆發了。
Since Xiao Yu knew that this person was the CEO of Top Sky Group, his face had not been good. At this moment, seeing him like this, his expression became even more grim.
Xiao Hongyang got up in anger and reached out to grab the medical bag, intending to leave because he came here to treat people, not to be scolded by them.
Xiao Yu stood up, walked over, and pulled Xiao Hongyang back. "Hongyang, please calm down!"
"Mr. Liang, let me explain your condition to you. Your illness mainly stems from the heart. You are anxious in your mind, harboring inner fire that cannot be vented out, thus damaging both liver and spirit. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine theory, the liver and stomach are interconnected; therefore, excessive thinking has caused internal heat which damages the liver, leading to blood stagnation in the liver area, causing restlessness and irritability; when the stomach is damaged, food intake leads to vomiting; mental damage results in insomnia and lack of vitality!"
After holding back Xiao Hongyang, Xiao Yu explained his diagnosis to Liang Shang calmly.
Hearing these words from Xiao Yu, Xiao Hongyang was stunned, while Liang Shang was shocked.
Xiao Hongyang pondered over Xiao Yu's diagnosis for a moment and suddenly understood everything. However, how could this illness be treated Currently, he threw up after eating, making it impossible to take medicine. Even if he could take the medicine, as long as his inner fire wasn't vented out, his condition would recur.
Upon hearing Xiao Yu's diagnosis, Liang Shang was internally shaken because his illness started after learning about those matters.
"Do you have a way to treat it If there is a cure, I will surely reward you handsomely!"
Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Liang Shang asked anxiously. This illness had tormented him so much that he didn't want to eat anything; even if he forced himself to eat, everything came back up. Moreover, drinking water also caused vomiting, forcing him to maintain his health through intravenous fluids.
"It can be treated." Xiao Yu nodded and said.
"Great! Wonderful, please treat me! As long as you cure my illness, I will give your clinic one thousand dollars!" Liang Shang exclaimed excitedly. He had suffered enough from this illness in recent days and was willing to pay a high price.
In his view, paying one thousand dollars for treatment at a small clinic was already very expensive; even the best experts at big hospitals would not charge more than a hundred dollars.
After saying that, he thought again and said to Xiao Yu: "If you prescribe medicine, choose the best quality! I have plenty of money!"
Liang Shang was particular about everything for himself, but it was extremely difficult for others to take even a single penny from him.
In recent days, he has spent over 100,000 yuan on medical treatment alone. He only takes the best medicines; even with Chinese herbal medicine, he insists on having his doctor prescribe the finest ingredients. Would it be acceptable to him if he took cheap medication When did he ever consume anything that wasn't top-notch However, these days, he has been very stingy with doctors, offering them merely a few hundred yuan at most. If Xiao Yu hadn’t hit the nail on the head today, he might not have even received a single penny and would have probably been kicked out.
Xiao Hongyang looked at Xiao Yu and thought to himself: Is Master going to treat him Then did my scolding go to waste However, since Xiao Yu is his master, he dared not say anything more.
"Mr. Liang! We can provide treatment, but when we arrived, you said that the consultation fee would be 1,000 yuan. That amount has already been settled. We’ve just finished diagnosing your condition; please pay now."
Sitting on the sofa without providing any medical advice or prescription, Xiao Yu leaned back lazily and spoke in a relaxed tone.
"Um..."
Upon hearing Xiao Yu’s words, Liang Shang was stunned for a moment before giving a cold stare to the person who had brought them there.
The man felt goosebumps rise all over his body when he saw Liang Shang staring at him with such intensity. His forehead immediately broke out in a fine sweat, and he hurriedly approached Liang Shang without bothering to wipe it off.
Standing beside Liang Shang, the man whispered something into his ear.
"Oh!" Liang Shang nodded slightly but didn't say anything further.
The person who had brought Xiao Yu and others there couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief when he saw that Liang Shang did not react strongly to the situation.
As a mid-level official in Dingtian Group, he was well acquainted with its operations. Dingtian Group functioned like an underworld organization, and Liang Shang was akin to the boss of such an outfit.
The difference between Liang Shang and other bosses is that others had earned their positions through violent confrontation; however, his rise to power was due to being shielded by his brother-in-law.
Since Liang Shang's brother-in-law held a high-ranking position as the head of Shenhai City’s Public Security Bureau, people in the underworld gave him considerable respect and gradually relinquished control over Dongcheng District to him.
As long as his brother-in-law remained as chief, they would allow Liang Shang to be their leader for that day. Should his brother-in-law leave this post, it’s likely that Liang Shang's influence here would quickly vanish into thin air.
Liang Shang is notoriously stingy; thus, he has no fixed followers and only a few small-time hooligans accompany him. These people help whoever pays them, making them extremely unreliable.
Over the years, Liang Shang has relied on his brother-in-law’s authority to forcefully seize considerable wealth. He has taken over roughly one-third of Dongcheng District's construction projects alone.
Moreover, Liang Shang is a ruthless person who would do anything for money. According to him, there are many cases of assault and kidnapping linked to Liang Shang. Withholding demolition compensation fees was also a common occurrence.
But after working at Liang Shang's company for several years, he gradually got used to this life where he could do whatever he wanted. No matter what he did, as long as he mentioned Liang Shang’s name, all problems would be solved effortlessly.
So when Liang Shang glared at him earlier, he was immediately scared. He didn’t want to get fired over such a trivial matter. Currently, if he were to be dismissed from Dingtian Company, he would find it extremely uncomfortable.
"Fine, I'll pay!" Liang Shang clenched his teeth and said. He was suffering terribly from this illness, so even though it pained him, he endured the expense.
After saying that, Liang Shang gestured to the person who brought Xiao Yu over, who promptly took out two thousand yuan from his bag and handed it to them.
Xiao Yu accepted the money from the man’s hand, counted it, confirmed it was indeed two thousand yuan, then put it into his own bag.
"Now let's talk about treating this illness! Mr. Liang, I can treat your condition; when I came here, I mentioned to this gentleman that my consultation fees are usually discussed after seeing the patient."
Xiao Yu pointed at the man who brought them there and said to Liang Shang.
Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, both the person who brought Xiao Yu over and Liang Shang felt an ominous premonition.
"Mr. Liang, I can treat your illness; however, my consultation fee is extremely expensive..." Xiao Yu looked at both of them and continued speaking.
"You probably don't know who I am! Listen up, I'm East City's Liang Shang, money isn’t something I lack, but if the cost doesn’t justify the value, I’ll make him regret ever being born!"
Liang Shang’s ominous feeling grew stronger. Upon hearing Xiao Yu’s words, he glared at him with a menacing expression.
He had encountered such opportunists many times before; if they had thoroughly investigated who he was beforehand, they wouldn’t dare to act like this.
"Haha, whether the cost justifies its value is your judgment. I’m merely stating my consultation fee. If you find it worth it, then receive treatment. If not, you can choose not to."
Hearing Liang Shang's threatening words, Xiao Yu’s cold expression turned even colder, revealing a mocking smile.sed the patient’s wrist and made room for him to sit down.Sitting down in Xiao Hongyang's vacated spot, Xiao Yu didn't immediately take the pulse of this person but instead observed his face.
