Medical Sovereign

Chapter 270 Late Night Debt-Paying Trap

“Well, well, you have been used to being a leader and also tell me the idea of the central government at home.”

Executive Jiang shook his head and gave a wry smile. “Telling this is less meaningful than telling me about Ding Ning. Is that traditional Chinese medicine anaesthesia a true thing?”

“Of course true. You don’t know that this little guy contributed to the Celestial Empire Journal of Medical Guidelines, and it would have never been approved. After all, meridians have never been recognized by the international medical community. It is I who appointed the chief editor Laotang to visit Ninghai to take a look. You don’t know how unwilling Laotang was that time. He shirked numerous times, but I demanded seriously, and he finally went unwillingly.”

Speaking of Ding Ning, Minister Jiang suddenly became energetic, talking vividly with his gesture, “Laotang went to see Ding Ning. Do you know what the result was?”

“What was it? No more than the approval of his thesis.”

Executive Jiang didn’t take that seriously and rise to his guessing bait.

“He did not go there without results. Instead, he earned lots of profits. After working as an editor for years, Laotang had been pained by the serious lumbar disc herniation, frozen shoulder, cervical spondylosis, static varicose veins, and pancreatitis. He felt uncomfortable, wishing to scrutinize Ding Ning’s thesis with suspicion, but as a result, before he made trouble for Ding Ning, he had been treated with the traditional Chinese medicine anaesthesia by that little guy. In a short while, all his diseases were healed. So, Laotang was fully convinced. As soon as he returned, he published his thesis and also promoted Ding Ning a lot. Now, whomever he meets, he praises Ding Ning as a real miracle-working doctor and the traditional Chinese medicine anaesthesia as something more miraculous without flaws. He also plans to introduce this thesis to Lancet magazine to publish.”

“Lancet? This is the most authoritative magazine in the international medical community. Can it be approved?”

Executive Jiang shouted with a surprise. Lancet was one of the oldest and most valued peer-reviewed medical journals in the world, and also one of the most authoritative academic medical journals in the medical community. If Ding Ning’s thesis was accepted, the international medical community was likely to view traditional Chinese medicine with a new eye, and then the pseudoscience label of it could be removed. This was really eventful. For the recovery of traditional Chinese medicine, this would have great milestone-like significance.

“Who knows. Anyway, Laotang has approved of Ding Ning’s theory. You know he is a man only recognizing theories, but if this thesis can be published on Lancet, it is still hard to tell. We need to see the attitude of Lancet. I believe if they can come to the Celestial Empire themselves and ask Ding Ning to prove the existence of meridians, maybe it will be a shocking meeting.”

Minister Jiang spoke with uncertainty because he didn’t have too much hope for that. After all, publishing articles on Lancet was not much less difficult than winning the Nobel Prize.

“This Ding Ning is really a little interesting. When I have a chance, I really want to see him.”

Executive Jiang had so much interest in Ding Ning.

“Wait for your chance. Recently, Ninghai is working to set up a branch of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association. I decide to recruit him. As a representative of spreading traditional medical culture, let’s explore his potential and begin our first move of promoting the culture of the Celestial Empire.”

Minister Jiang spoke ambitiously and excitedly.

Executive Jiang turned his eyes. “Can you work out ways to let him join our hospital?”

“This, this is hard to tell. Let me ask next time.”

Minister Jiang did not dare to guarantee anything because he remembered that Secretary Du also wanted Ding Ning. How could he agree to let him go?

Besides that, setting up the Ninghai Traditional Chinese Medicine Association was also at his mercy. He wanted Ding Ning to make achievements and get some political profits for himself.

“That’s a deal. Don’t forget it!”

Executive Jiang spoke seriously, giving Minister Jiang a headache, and the minister had to get rid of it with ambiguous words.

Fooling around with Ling Yun at the Green Cloud Club, Ding Ning also had a headache. He never thought just as he was ready to launch a full battle, that world-famous guy surrendered, bringing him a stifled feeling of pouching air with his fist.

“Could you have had some strength of character and fought to the end? It was so hard for me to come off my wife’s belly to fight you to the end of the battle. Your fighting ability was too f*cking weak.”

But one should not hit the person who smiled at you. The person already surrounded. If you were aggressive again, your fans would treat you as a mean person without tolerance.

He pursed his lips, looked at the fast asleep Ling Yun, and lit up a cigarette. Anyway, he had nothing to do. Bored, he clicked open the private messages that he had never read to read.

Apart from the several messages of the system, other private messages were written by his fans. Some women asked to live off him, some women wanted him to live off them, some consulted medical questions, some left their phone numbers to ask for sexual hookup...

In a word, there were all kinds of messages. The most insulting one was that a gay man asked if he wanted to have group sex. He felt quite sick about it for a while. “F*ck, do you think this is a battle of sausages?”

He deleted these terrible messages instantly. Suddenly, a private message drew his attention. The message was sent more than 10 days ago, and the sender was Sun after a Rain.

He was relatively interested in his fan club’s leader who had been defending him. He also read her Weibo threads, wishing to know if she was Shen Muqing.

Unfortunately, there weren’t her pictures, contacts, or detail introduction in the account. She only uploaded a few idyllic scenery pictures and also some of her ideas on things. The sex it showed was female.

At this moment, he became excited instantly as he saw the private message Sun after a Rain sent him.

Clicking it open, he only found a group of numbers, which were not like phone numbers or WeChat accounts, but more like Penguin accounts.

Okay, Ding Ning logged into his two friends Zhao Xin’s and Ling Yun’s Penguin accounts and searched with the Penguin account she left. What the search result showed was the nickname Sun after a Rain. He applied for adding her as a friend.

But his applications were not approved after he waited a long time. “She might not be online. Anyway, it is over 12 midnight.” Ding Ning did not care about that. Placing his phone on the bedside cupboard, he fell asleep with Ling Yun in his arms.

“Ring!”

The phone ring was so piercing in the darkness of midnight.

The ring lasted a long time. Fast asleep and misty-minded, Ling Yun took the phone on the cupboard without opening her eyes, pressed the answer button, and said impatiently, “Hello! Who is that?”

“Hello, is that Ling Yun, daughter of Chu Yunxiu? Your mother is in our hands. She owes us 30 million yuan. Give you one hour to bring us the ransom. Otherwise!”

The other end of the phone sounded very noisy. The man spoke huskily with an uncovered threat.

Ling Yun was shocked all over. Her misty mind became clear instantly, and her brows were knitted tight. “Who are you? How come my mother owes you money? How can I know you are not lying?”

Ling Yun had a good understanding of Chu Yunxiu, who was extremely frugal. How come she owed someone money? Subconsciously, she thought someone wanted to blackmail her for money.

“Then, let you hear her voice.”

The man’s steps came from the phone. Soon, Ling Yun heard the cries of Chu Yunxiu, “Yun, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, don’t come, don’t ever come...”

“Mother, don’t panic. Tell me what happened.”

Ling Yun seemed to have fallen into an ice cave, with her heart seemingly shrinking into a tight ball at once. She forced herself to cool down and asked quickly.

“I... uh!”

Before Chu Yunxiu spoke, her mouth had been covered by someone. The man’s husky voice came. “Do you believe now? I give you one hour to exchange your mother with money at the entrance of the Ladies Clubhouse. Otherwise, you may wait to collect your mother’s body.”

“Don’t do terrible things; don’t hurt my mother; I take money to you now...”

“We only want money, not her life, but your mother is really not wise and even wants to repudiate her debt. I warn you not to call the police. Even if you call, it is useless. Chu Yunxiu owes us money with written words. Remember, you only have one hour, no more.”

Before Ling Yun spoke, the man hung up with a snap.

“Ding Ning, Ding Ning, wake up; my mother has trouble.”

Ling Yun panicked and shook Ding Ning desperately. Unfortunately, Ding Ning had fallen into a deep sleep and could not wake up even if he were struck by thunder.

Ling Yun suddenly realized that Ding Ning had told her that no one could wake him up when he fell into a deep sleep.

If she had met such a situation in the past, she would not have had solutions, but now, 30 million was not a lot of money for her.

It was about nothing but money. Ling Yun put on her clothes quickly, ran out hurriedly, and drove her Lamborghini to the Ladies Clubhouse.

To prevent the Axe Gang’s sneak attacks, Lu Zhan and Wang Yang were on duty at night. Surprisingly, they saw Ling Yun run out in a hurry without even greeting them.

Wang Yang asked confusedly, “What’s wrong with our boss’ wife? She looks troubled. Where is she going in the middle of the night?”

“Is something wrong? Go ask our boss, and ask Xiaoniu and others to come out for the night shift by the way. Let me follow her to find the truth. It is disturbing if our boss’ wife meets trouble at midnight.”

Lu Zhan frowned, feeling anxious. Instantly, he ran to the outside and drove a Landrover to follow Ling Yun.

Ling Yun stepped on the accelerator hard, driving at the speed of over 200 km per hour. The howling night wind blew the messy hairs on her forehead, which were like her messy mood at the moment.

During this period, Chu Yunxiu went out to play mahjong every night and went home to sleep in the morning. Ling Yun thought it was not a big deal to lose some money by playing mahjong. As long as she was happy, let her play.

Now, thinking back, she realized that when her mother came home these days, she was pale and full of dread, and went to sleep after eating a little food.

Occasionally when speaking to her, she avoided her eyes and faltered, looking obviously quite abnormal.

She was busy with her gang’s affairs every day, thinking her mother was tired because of playing mahjong at night. She didn’t take it to her heart.

She blamed herself for this so much. If she could have cared about her mother a little more, a problem like this would not have happened.

When she thought her mother was now held by someone and might undergo torture, she would feel her heart bleeding.

“Mother, you cannot have an accident. If they dare to touch one of your fingers, I will kill them.”

Ling Yun’s face looked as dark as iron, and her chest seemed to be filled with a boulder.

“Ring!”

Her phone suddenly rang. Looking at the caller ID, Ling Yun put on her Bluetooth headset and said in a crying tone, “Ding Ning, you finally wake up. My mother has trouble.”

“Don’t panic. Where are you now? Pull over, Lu Zhan has caught up with you. Please tell me what happened in detail.”

As he put on her clothes, he comforted her with a soft voice and had begun calling the Air Force Wing No.1 with his spiritual strength.

Ling Yun pulled over as she was told, telling him the thing in detail in tears. Now Ding Ning was awake, and she was not worried anymore.

Ding Ning frowned, feeling something was wrong. How come someone suddenly called you to ask for the payment of debts at midnight but only gave you one hour?

There must be evil plans in it. Thinking about it for a moment, he said peacefully, “Wait for Lu Zhan, let him go with you, and now I am going to set off.”
