s at him. So it was just mutual benefit.But Yunxi seemed indifferent towards him, the vice mayor who held power over her career. Apart from work, she remained uninterested in any other conversation.Ho...Chapter 72 Black-hearted Phlegm (Please give recommendations and keep the book in your favorites)

"Director Li, are you here" A man looked at Li Chuan with a puzzled expression. His daughter Luo Jiao was getting married, so he had invited Li Chuan as well, but the latter sent a gift and said that his mother needed treatment and couldn't make it. Unexpectedly, when he went to see someone off earlier, he saw Li Chuan sitting in the hall.

"Ah, isn’t it just my old mother's illness Let Xiao Brother Miao have a look!" He then looked at Xiao Yu who was taking his mother’s pulse.

Yun Xi sat beside him and watched as Xiao Yu concentrated on his work. She found that when Xiao Yu diagnosed patients, there was an air of mystery about him. Just by taking someone's pulse, he could tell where they were from. Yun Xi looked at Xiao Yu with curiosity as she wondered if the man who worked in a small medical room was really capable of such things

Lu Bingyang followed Li Chuan’s gaze and saw a young man examining an elderly woman. The old lady would cough every now and then, which made Lu Bingyang feel surprised at how young Xiao Yu looked. Given that Li Chuan had brought his mother from afar and turned down his invitation, could it be that he wanted this young man to examine her

Moreover, when Li Chuan spoke about Xiao Yu, there was no sense of superiority whatsoever; instead, he acted like a regular patient. It should be noted that although Li Chuan only held the position of deputy director, as the secretary of the number one person in Old City, even bureau chiefs and department directors would greet him courteously.

This young doctor who was examining his mother appeared to be a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine. However, those doctors with some reputation were all over fifty years old. Since the wedding reception had already started, Lu Bingyang didn’t feel rushed to leave and instead wanted to see if this youth was really worth Li Chuan's attention.

"Auntie, you’ve been suffering from coughing fits for more than thirty years now! And while it wasn't so bad a few years ago, recently, your symptoms have worsened," Xiao Yu didn’t answer the question but said to the old lady instead. Although he was asking her about it, his tone was very certain.

"Yes, that's right! It’s been more than thirty years indeed! A few years back, I would only cough occasionally when it rained or on overcast days, but in recent years, my coughing fits have become much more frequent!" The elderly woman looked at Xiao Yu with even greater surprise after hearing his words; it was as if she had seen something miraculous.

Looking at Xiao Yu, who was treating patients right in front of him, his confident face sparked a glint of admiration in Yunxi’s eyes. This was the doctor she had in mind.

Liu Chuan thought about asking Xiao Yu to treat his mother after seeing how he cured Secretary Wan's daughter and witnessed the high regard the secretary and his family held for Xiao Yu’s medical skills. However, since Secretary Wan's daughter hadn't awakened yet, Liu Chuan himself didn’t have much direct knowledge of Xiao Yu’s abilities. But just now, Xiao Yu casually took her pulse and correctly diagnosed everything, making Liu Chuan feel confident that Xiao Yu could cure his mother.

Lu Bingyang also looked astonished. Could this young man really be so skilled

"Director Lu, Secretary Li, Miss, Mr. Xiao would like to have some tea!" At this moment, a mature and alluring woman came over with several cups of tea. She was the general manager of the Ancient City Hotel, Wang Mei, who also served as vice-director of the municipal government’s office comprehensive department. Seeing Liu Chuan and Lu Bingyang sitting there, she brought them some tea.

After placing the teacups down, Wang Mei saw Xiao Yu treating a patient with astonishment on her face. She knew Xiao Yu; as the general manager of the Ancient City Hotel, she was aware that he lived in the exclusive suite on the top floor owned by Wan Hongguang. Initially, she assumed Xiao Yu must be some relative of Wan Hongguang’s, but it turned out he was a doctor.

"Ouch!" The elderly woman cried out suddenly. It seemed that one of Xiao Yu's hands had been patting her back continuously, and when he reached the left lung area, she felt an intense stabbing pain and couldn't help crying out in pain.

“Right here, auntie, did you suffer any injuries to this spot before your coughing started” Xiao Yu pressed on where the elderly lady was experiencing pain while asking her a question.

"Let me think... It’s been so many years." Hearing Xiao Yu's question, the elderly woman fell into deep thought.

“Ah yes! That’s right! Over thirty years ago, I was working on my village production team earning work points. Er Gouzi's father led a frightened livestock that kicked me here when it reared up, causing a large bruise. After several weeks of recovery, the discoloration faded and I didn’t think much about it!” A moment later, the elderly lady suddenly slapped her thigh as she loudly recalled this incident.

"That's it. The injury you sustained affected your Lung Meridian, which hasn't been fully cured. You've also been smoking for a long time! Back then, only women in Northeast China smoked; although you quit recently, didn’t you The toxins from the cigarettes accumulated in your injured Lung Meridian, unable to be expelled, hence causing persistent coughing," said Xiao Yu casually.

"Brother Xiao, does that mean… can my mom's cough still be treated" Li Chuan immediately asked when he heard his mother had been suffering due to an old injury. He was worried the prolonged injury might make it difficult to cure her condition.

"It can be treated. Later on, I'll give a few acupuncture needles and prescribe some herbal medicine for your mother," Xiao Yu nodded and replied.

Lu Bingyang and Wang Mei were deeply impressed; they had seen the effects of traditional Chinese medicine before but never something so miraculous. A single pulse diagnosis not only revealed the person’s origin but also detected an old injury spanning decades. From what Xiao Yu said, curing this illness didn’t seem difficult—it would just take a few doses of herbal medicine

Yunxi's rosy little face was full of excitement and admiration as she watched Xiao Yu speak confidently.

"Brother Li, get me a spittoon!" said Xiao Yu to Li Chuan.

"I'll go, I'll go…" The moment Xiao Yu finished speaking, Wang Mei quickly volunteered. It would be awkward if Li Chuan had to find the items himself; she might hold a grudge against him later on. If Li Dashimi’s mouth were to twitch at that time, her position as general manager was uncertain.

Soon after, Wang Mei brought over the spittoon. Xiao Yu placed it in front of the elderly woman and took out golden needles from his backpack, inserting them into large acupoints on the Lung Meridian. With one hand formed into a fist, he gently tapped around the area where she was injured.

As Xiao Yu’s tapping continued, the elderly woman suddenly began coughing heavily. Each tap from Xiao Yu intensified her coughs until they were continuous and rapid, leaving no time for breath; her face turned red with exertion.

As the old lady coughed violently, it seemed as if something was stuck in her lungs. With each breath she took, a whistling sound could be heard, and there were also gurgling sounds from her throat.

With Xiao Yu's tapping becoming increasingly intense, it sounded like an old bellows working frantically inside the old lady’s throat.

Looking at his mother's condition, Li Chuan felt worried. His mother was coughing so hard that she could hardly breathe; he wanted to stop Xiao Yu for a moment and let her catch her breath. However, seeing Xiao Yu acting calm and composed without any change in expression, Li Chuan opened his mouth but didn't make a sound. He was afraid of affecting the treatment's effectiveness.

Lu Bingyang, Wang Mei, and Yun Xi were also deeply concerned looking at the old lady’s condition; they had never imagined that coughing could cause such agony to someone.

"Cough harder……" As soon as Xiao Yu finished speaking, he immediately punched the injured area on the old lady's body.

"Cough...cough...cough..."

As Xiao Yu's fist landed, the old lady couldn't help but start coughing even more violently. Suddenly it seemed as if something was stuck in her throat; her face turned red and she could not make any sound. Xiao Yu gently tapped on the old lady’s back.

"Puh" The old lady suddenly spat out a black phlegm about the size of a ping pong ball, which smelled terribly putrid. When this thick phlegm landed in the spittoon, it even bounced several times lightly.

The rest room was instantly filled with an unpleasant odor. Wang Mei and Yun Xi vomited slightly and ran out of the rest room. Wang Mei quickly instructed someone to dispose of the phlegm and sprayed air freshener inside the rest room before she could calm down.o Yu felt as though he was in control of everything within his immediate surroundings; he was the master of that space.The last two times he had been in this state, despite quickly defeating his oppon...
