Peerless Little Immortal Doctor

That was a BMW sedan, with a license plate of five eights, to get such a number in the county town, one must be quite an influential figure.

If one were to drive this car into the county government compound, there'd certainly be no question about it.

The problem now was, how to approach the car owner?

Xia Liu had been staking out for almost half an hour, but saw no one come near the car.

A bold idea popped into his mind, he ran to a nearby shop and bought a peaked cap, then stealthily approached the BMW.

A few minutes later, the BMW started up, and Xia Liu, seated at the driver's seat, adjusted his cap. It had been a long time since he'd engaged in such trickery, and his skills had grown a bit rusty. From opening the car door to driving away, it took him nearly two minutes.

That's right, Xia Liu had directly stolen the car, wait! Not stolen, just borrowed for a bit, he would return it later, his only goal was to meet the county mayor.

However, what Xia Liu did not know was that, inside the hotel's general manager's office, the surveillance screens had been continuously replaying the footage of him opening the car door and driving the vehicle away.

"This guy looks somewhat familiar, just wait, where can you run to within the county town!" floated an approving female voice in front of the surveillance screen.

Xia Liu entered the county government compound without any hindrance, and after getting out of the car, he quickly disposed of the cap, in case the car owner traced it back to him, which would definitely cause some trouble.

He carried a bag of fruit he had bought from the roadside and entered the residential area of the county government, where the housing was meant for public servants' security. After chatting with the cleaning lady, he obtained the mayor's door number.

Compared to some other districts in the county, the decor of the public servants' residential area was somewhat outdated, but to live in the county town meant wealth or prestige.

Xia Liu quickly arrived at the mayor's front door, on the highest floor, where there were only a sparse three doors.

Xia Liu had not yet had the chance to knock when the door opened, and he saw the mayor, Li Zhong, rushing out, anxious, and at the same time, an ambulance siren could be heard coming from downstairs.

"Mayor Li, what's going on?" Xia Liu stopped him and asked.

"Come in quickly and help, my wife's asthma relapsed!" Li Zhong frantically replied, then grabbed Xia Liu and headed towards his home.

Within the county government residential area, Li Zhong was not afraid of any danger. Although he did not recognize Xia Liu, seeing his presentable appearance and dress, who also called out to him, was enough to suggest his identity.

Xia Liu also hurried in with Li Zhong. Before entering the room, Xia Liu could hear a series of frantic coughing sounds, as if someone was coughing out their lungs.

Hearing this, Xia Liu quickly pushed open the room door, where on a large mattress, a woman was struggling, covering her mouth, her complexion extremely pale.

"What are you doing!" Seeing Xia Liu touching his wife a few times, Li Zhong's eyes widened, and he immediately started shouting.

Xia Liu ignored him and continued to press a few acupoints on the woman's body.

"Mayor Li, there's no need to worry, I'm a doctor, I have temporarily alleviated your wife's symptoms," Xia Liu explained with a sigh of relief after withdrawing his hands.

Although Li Zhong was surprised, he did not immediately address Xia Liu, instead rushing to the bedside to observe his wife, only relaxing after confirming her symptoms had temporarily eased.

"This, I seem to have not met you before, you..."

"Mayor Li, it's like this, I am a doctor who came up from Pinglan Town..." Xia Liu was just about to introduce himself, when a series of frantic knocks on the door began.

Li Zhong and Xia Liu walked out of the room, only to see several nurses and doctors in white lab coats.

"Brother Li, where's your wife?" asked a middle-aged doctor who had been classmates with Li Zhong in the past. Hearing that his classmate's wife had fallen ill, he promptly sent someone over.

"Hongsheng, thank you for your concern. My wife's condition has temporarily been stabilized, thanks to this young brother." Li Zhong and Lin Hongsheng had many exchanges, and not only were they high school classmates, but they were also close friends in life. He was relieved to see his brother arrive so promptly.

Huh?

Lin Hongsheng was extremely surprised upon hearing that the illness had been suppressed. He was aware of Li Zhong's wife's condition, and he knew that this recurrence must be acute. How could a young man without any medical equipment suppress it?

"Young brother, let me introduce you—this is Lin Hongsheng, the director of the county hospital and also a good friend of mine," Li Zhong introduced with a happy smile to Xia Liu.

"Director Lin, nice to meet you, I'm Xia Liu, a village doctor from Osmanthus Village," Xia Liu introduced himself very generously.

Upon hearing Xia Liu's introduction, both Li Zhong and Lin Hongsheng were surprised. A village doctor, bluntly put, is nothing more than a rural doctor.

Lin Hongsheng stopped talking, turned around, took some medical equipment with the nurses, and asked Li Zhong to lead him into the room. Upon hearing that Xia Liu was a village doctor, he grew concerned and insisted on checking on the patient's condition.

A few minutes later, Lin Hongsheng and Li Zhong came out of the room, their faces full of shock.

On the sofa, Xia Liu was giving a vague explanation of the treatment he had performed on the woman to suppress her condition. It was hard for him to explain, and he could only attribute it to the profound mysteries of Huaxia traditional Chinese medicine.

Li Zhong and Lin Hongsheng were confused, only understanding that Xia Liu had used Huaxia traditional Chinese medical techniques to stabilize the condition.

As for Huaxia traditional Chinese medicine, Lin Hongsheng was quite skeptical. In this era of advanced science and technology, traditional Chinese medicine had fallen out of favor, with surgery and medication being necessary for serious conditions.

"County Chief Li, if I'm not mistaken, your wife's condition is genetic," Xia Liu spoke slowly while sipping on light tea.

"Uh uh..." Li Zhong was slightly taken aback. He knew about his wife's illness, and it indeed was a genetic disease. He began to wonder whether Xia Liu had investigated him and what his true intentions were for coming here today.

Lin Hongsheng was shocked once again. Even he had failed to diagnose Li Zhong's wife's symptoms as genetic. If it weren't for Li Zhong's reaction, he wouldn't have believed that Xia Liu, such a young man, actually had some skills.

"To be frank with you, County Chief Li, I can completely cure your wife's illness."

"Cough cough cough cough..."

Startled by Xia Liu's claim, Li Zhong began to cough violently. He wasn't cold or sick, but rather was completely taken aback.

Over the years, he had sought help from many renowned doctors, both in traditional and Western medicine. The only answer he received about his wife's condition was to try to control it as much as possible. A cure was deemed impossible.

"Brother Xia Liu, sometimes making bold claims requires taking responsibility!" Lin Hongsheng could not sit still any longer; he had seen the disease and believed a cure was absolutely impossible!

"Hongsheng, let's hear what Brother Xia has to say," Li Zhong didn't want to miss any opportunity. His wife had been plagued by the illness for so long that she was almost ready to give up hope.

Lin Hongsheng gave an awkward smile and took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.

Just as Xia Liu was about to speak, the door was knocked on again, and an anxious female voice came through, "Godfather, please open the door quick!"
