A miraculous doctor descended from the heavens.

As soon as the pus and blood gushed out, a strong, pungent stench immediately filled the room, a truly horrifying sight.

Chu Xinran's face, which had been flushed with anger, instantly turned deathly pale.

"Very good. I knew it. Ordinary methods would be of no use to you. This method of fighting poison with poison is the most suitable for you." Gu Feng looked at the sore and smiled with satisfaction.

It turns out that the reason he slapped her just now wasn't because he had gotten used to slapping Chen Hongyin and couldn't quit, but because he intentionally used that slap to stir up the blood energy of the sore.

Finally, he deliberately put her in a difficult position, provoking her to the point of anger.

While anger can certainly harm the body, it can also accelerate the flow of blood and energy throughout the body.

Although there are many ways to get Chu Xinran's blood circulating—even flirting and teasing would be acceptable—unfortunately, Gu Feng simply couldn't muster that interest in the woman in front of him, so he had to take an unconventional approach.

When Chu Xinran finally understood that Gu Feng's treatment of her was not intended as revenge, but rather to force the sore to rupture prematurely using the method of fighting poison with poison, she felt a complex mix of emotions.

However, the excruciating pain surging from the wound only made her momentarily lose her composure before she couldn't help but cry out, "It hurts...it hurts so much! You, Gu, please save me!"

Gu Feng himself wasn't in any pain and remained standing there unhurriedly, saying leisurely, "Eh? Didn't Director Chu teach you to be polite to others? Although my surname is Gu, if people were constantly calling me 'You're surnamed Chu, you're surnamed Chu,' I'd like to see if you'd still be in such a good mood to help others..."

Chu Xinran was so angry that her teeth itched, but the pus and blood gushing from the sore were getting worse, and the pain was unbearable. She could only grit her teeth and beg for mercy in a trembling voice: "Gu Feng, Young Master Gu, Brother Feng... please have mercy and save me!"

"Hehe, that's more like it."

Gu Feng nodded in satisfaction.

Looking down at the sore again, the head was bluish-purple with red veins twisted and tangled underneath. He took out the needle box he never parted with and said to her, "Now I will use silver needles to help you expel the poisonous blood as soon as possible, so that you can be relieved from this pain sooner."

"Mmm-hmm!"

Chu Xinran's small face was already pale with pain, her features were almost distorted, and her forehead was soaked with cold sweat, strands of which stuck to her cheeks, making her look indescribably weak and pitiful.

Gu Feng couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy, but he had no other choice.

A short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one. Without a strong remedy, her boils will likely remain untreated.

After Gu Feng inserted the needle, a stream of murky pus, which was white, yellow, and red, gushed out from the wound. At first, the color was turbid and murky, then it gradually turned dark red, then light red, and finally a clear, watery liquid flowed out.

Just as he started the acupuncture, Su Man'er returned with the medicine he had been asked to fetch.

A packet of fine white powder was carefully and evenly sprinkled around the wound in Gu Feng's hands.

After applying the external medicine, Gu Feng said to Chu Xinran, "This is enough for the external medicine. By tomorrow morning, the sore will be completely drained, and the pain will be gone. However, the sore will still be itchy and painful for the next few hours. Remember this well—do not scratch it with your hands, and do not let it come into contact with unboiled water. If you really can't bear it, have someone hold you down, or even tie you up with a rope. Anyway, I'm telling you this now: if you get an infection, you'll be responsible for the consequences."

"……knew."

Chu Xinran seemed to have all her strength drained away, lying limply on the bed, her long hair, wet with sweat, sticking to her cheeks. She looked as if she had just gone through a violent struggle, and was extremely weak.

Fortunately, the pain from the wound was no longer as intense as before, like skin being peeled off and bones being removed. Although it was still difficult to endure, it was finally within a tolerable range.

"Then there's the oral medicine. Boil three bowls of water down to one bowl, and take it twice a day, after breakfast and dinner, for three consecutive days. Within three days, the sore will scab over and fall off, and it will heal naturally. But during this time, you must abstain from all foods—fishy, ​​spicy, fried, and deep-fried foods are all strictly forbidden..."

Chu Xinran lay there silently, memorizing everything.

"Finally..." Gu Feng said, then suddenly stopped, staring intently at Chu Xinran.

"What's the last thing?" Chu Xinran waited for a long time without hearing anything, and seeing his thieving eyes fixed on her, she couldn't help but ask, feeling both ashamed and annoyed.

"Finally, you should thank me," Gu Feng said calmly.

"Why should I?" Chu Xinran felt a surge of anger rush to her head.

Not only did he get to see my body completely for nothing, but I also had to pay him money. Now this shameless scoundrel actually wants me to thank him in person? It's utterly despicable.

"Because I came all this way in the dead of night, because I did my best to treat you and relieve your pain, because I..."

"Alright, alright!" Chu Xinran interrupted him impatiently, glaring at him resentfully, gritting her teeth as she said, "Then—thank you! Thank you, sister! Thank you, your whole family! Thank you, ancestors for eighteen generations!"

"..." Gu Feng was speechless for a moment.

This method of thanking people was something he had never experienced before.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, Chu Hanzhong and the others swarmed around him like family members waiting outside an operating room, bombarding him with questions.

Gu Feng then reassured him, "Don't worry, it's nothing serious. You'll be fully recovered in a couple of days."

"Oh—" Chu Xinran's elders all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, I've done what I needed to do. Where's my consultation fee?" Gu Feng asked casually.

"This..." Chu Hanzhong hesitated, then handed over a plastic bag.

"Not gold?" Gu Feng frowned, opened the bag and glanced inside. His frown deepened. "The amount is also far from what it should be."

Chu Hansan awkwardly approached, "Mr. Gu, it's the middle of the night... We've scraped together as much as we could, and this is the 300,000 we've managed to gather. The rest, we'll pay tomorrow..."

If Chu Hanzhong had said these words, Gu Feng might not have been so angry. But it was the third brother, whom he disliked the most, who spoke up.

The thought of that night when this guy acted as an accomplice to the tiger filled Gu Feng with rage. He spat coldly, "No money, why are you trying to get medical treatment like others!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Hanliang immediately became enraged, glaring at him angrily: "You, surnamed Gu, don't be ungrateful! What kind of doctor is as corrupt as you? This is outrageous! Do you really think you're some kind of renowned physician? Charging millions for a consultation at the drop of a hat—even if I send Xiao Ran to the best hospital, it won't cost much..."

"Then why didn't you see it off?" Gu Feng coldly interrupted him.

Chu Hanliang was immediately choked and unable to utter a single word.

"Detective Chu, please get this straight—this wasn't my own idea to come here. You practically begged me to come. Besides, this is my rule. What are you going to do about it?"

Although Gu Feng had a tiny bit of goodwill towards Chu Hanzhong, he couldn't win the slightest favor from either of his two younger brothers.

"You surnamed Gu, do you believe me or not, I'll go to the health bureau tomorrow to investigate you! I'll sue you for practicing medicine without a license and overcharging!" Chu Hanliang was clearly furious, and even his voice was fierce.

Gu Feng shrugged indifferently: "If you insist on repaying kindness with enmity, no one can stop you—only God can take your place."

Chu Hanliang's face immediately turned a deep purplish-red, looking extremely ugly.

"Alright, alright, Gu Feng, let's go." Su Man'er was afraid that if they continued to make a scene, it would end in a fight, so she quickly reached out and pulled Gu Feng to leave.

"Gu Feng!" Chu Hanzhong suddenly spoke up at this moment, his tone extremely sincere, "Thank you."

Gu Feng was taken aback upon hearing the voice.

In fact, this man from Chu Hanzhong was far more pleasing to the eye than his two younger brothers, and his words were more agreeable than those of his daughter. The anger that had been stirred up earlier dissipated in an instant.

After expressing his gratitude, Chu Hanzhong asked, "The rest of the money..."

"Forget it." Gu Feng waved his hand, not turning his head. "Let the rest remain. From now on—don't look for me unless it's absolutely necessary. And if it is, don't look for me either."

After saying that, he and Su Man'er walked out gracefully. Chu Hanzhong wanted to chase after them to see them off, but when he reached the door, he saw that the two had already gotten into a taxi. He could only sigh helplessly and stop.
