The next day.

Jiang Wei was surprised to discover that her foot injury had healed, and she could walk again. Seeing this, Jiang Wei's trust in Wang Xiaoqiang naturally increased a bit further.

His reputation was indeed well deserved!

Although her foot had just healed, Jiang Wei couldn't sit still. Her uncle's illness was always a concern for her, and as long as there was a glimmer of hope, she had to seize it, securely!

Before, Wang Xiaoqiang had been that glimmer of hope, and now, after he personally treated her last night, that glimmer of hope had suddenly expanded in Jiang Wei's heart into a substantial hope. Wang Xiaoqiang's medical skills had already made her believe in him quite a bit.

Now, she must hurry to persuade her uncle to accept Wang Xiaoqiang's treatment. However, persuading her uncle was a big challenge.

From the situation yesterday, her uncle did not believe in Wang Xiaoqiang.

What should she do?

Jiang Wei racked her brains and after a long time, finally came up with a very clumsy method.

With this clumsy method in mind, she went to her uncle's house. Unexpectedly, her uncle immediately asked, "Little Wei, who exactly is that young man from yesterday? How did you come to know him?"

Jiang Wei saw the serious expression on her uncle's face and didn't dare to mention her just thought-of method.

"He ..." Jiang Wei didn't dare to tell lies and truthfully said, "I met him at a friend's birthday party. He is the assistant to the president of Tang Real Estate..."

"What? The assistant to the president of Tang Real Estate?" Hu Xue Ren raised his voice, "Impossible, he is so young... Little Wei, don't be fooled by others..."

"Oh, uncle, I'm an adult now, I can still tell good people from bad, right?" Jiang Wei said, "Besides, Little Qiang doesn't seem like a bad person at all!"

"He might not seem like a bad person, but the claims he makes are too grand. If he can cure cancer, then there wouldn't be any incurable diseases left in the world..." Hu Xue Ren said very firmly.

Jiang Wei grimaced, suddenly remembered something, lifted her skirt slightly to reveal her injured ankle, and said, "Uncle, he really is miraculous. I twisted my ankle yesterday, and it was so swollen and painful I couldn't walk. But after going to his place, he applied some medicine, and today I can walk... look..."

Hu Xue Ren glanced at Jiang Wei's ankle and dismissively said, "With ankle sprains, it all depends on the severity. Yours must not have been severe!"

Hearing this, Jiang Wei felt helpless again. According to those from the Martial World, her uncle was someone who was hard to persuade.

"No, Little Wei, you just met him and you dared to go back to his house. What if you encountered someone with bad intentions? You have to be more careful in the future; you can't take risks for your uncle's illness. Your uncle doesn't want to see you like this..." Hu Xue Ren lectured very seriously.

Whether a teacher for the people or a university professor, they always speak in an educational tone, a lifelong professional habit, perhaps!

Jiang Wei stared at her uncle for a while and suddenly said, "Uncle, he, he is my boyfriend."

"What... Nonsense." Hu Xue Ren glared and said, "You just met, and now you are in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship? How is that proper?"

"We just confirmed our relationship…" Jiang Wei said.

"Do you really know his character..." Hu Xue Ren burst out, "Today's young people!... Little Wei, I didn't expect you, you to do such an immature thing..."

"Uncle, I..."

"Don't say anymore, end your relationship with this man immediately!" Hu Xue Ren now stood like a Taoist guarding morals, wielding a sword between Jiang Wei and Wang Xiaoqiang...

"Uncle, you can't be so rash in judging someone's character... What's so bad about Little Qiang?" Jiang Wei argued anxiously.

"So, Little Wei, can you provide any evidence to prove that his character is not problematic?" Hu Xue Ren, who had taught for a lifetime, spread his hands logically and asked, "He says he can treat cancer, have you seen it?"

"But uncle, how can you prove that he can't treat it?" Jiang Wei was getting anxious too. Hu Xue Ren's face darkened.

The two had never been so irritated with each other before. Hu Xue Ren pursed his lips, clenched his teeth bitterly, and declared decidedly, "Fine, I will let him treat me. If he can't cure my illness, not only will you have to completely sever ties with him, but I will also take him to court; if he does cure my illness, Little Wei, I will decide to marry you off to him..."

"Uncle, isn't that too much? If the treatment fails, you'll send him to jail; that's unfair to Wang Xiaoqiang..." Jiang Wei reasoned.

"Little Wei..." Hu Xue Ren sneered, "Hehe... Little Wei, this is precisely a good test of a person's character. He clearly said yesterday he could cure my disease. If he can't, wouldn't that make him a fraud? Hehe, my illness is a touchstone, capable of testing a person's authenticity and character... Little Wei, it's settled then. Call him now and tell him I've agreed, and I will fully cooperate with his treatment..."

Jiang Wei began to hesitate. She knew her uncle well; he always stuck to his word, and he loathed evil. If, if Wang Xiaoqiang couldn't cure his illness, then indeed, he would call the police, and since Wang Xiaoqiang wasn't a certified doctor, it amounted to practicing medicine illegally. Thus, only one outcome awaited him—imprisonment.

An hour later, Jiang Wei came to Wang Xiaoqiang's villa, distressed.

Seeing that Jiang Wei's expression was off, Wang Xiaoqiang asked with concern, "What's wrong? You look so glum! This isn't your usual style..."

Suddenly, Jiang Wei lifted her face, her eyes piercingly fixed on Jiang Feng, and asked, "Little Qiang, are you really confident about curing my uncle's illness?"

"As long as he cooperates with me, there should be no problem!" Wang Xiaoqiang confidently replied.

"But... what if... I mean if... if the treatment fails..." Jiang Wei asked hesitantly and nervously.

"My Great Writer Jiang, do you think I am performing surgery on your uncle..." Wang Xiaoqiang shook his head and said, "To tell you the truth, my treatment for cancer involves neither surgery nor chemotherapy. My method involves acupuncture, a slower treatment compared to surgery. I can assure you that even if I can't completely eradicate the cancer cells, I can potentially reduce his illness by eighty to ninety percent... Of course, that's the worst-case scenario... A complete cure is ninety percent likely..."

Uh... Jiang Wei was stunned upon hearing this. She hadn't expected Wang Xiaoqiang's treatment method to be acupuncture. If that was the case, then that was great. Even if the treatment failed, it wouldn't cause much harm or pain to her uncle, and moreover, Wang Xiaoqiang had already made the worst-case prognosis, which could potentially alleviate her uncle's illness significantly. This was truly wonderful!

With this in mind, Jiang Wei let go of all her concerns, stood up, and said, "That's wonderful, let's go. I've convinced my uncle, and he has agreed to cooperate with your treatment..."

Yes!

Wang Xiaoqiang nodded, stood up, and then went to fetch the set of iron needles he had just made. Then, with Jiang Wei, they drove to her uncle's house.

What Wang Xiaoqiang didn't expect was that despite being superficially polite—shaking hands, offering cigarettes, pouring tea, and taking great care—Hu Xue Ren's demeanor was still unfriendly. Though he was polite on the surface, Wang Xiaoqiang could tell it was a false courtesy. The smile on his face was also quite insincere and forced.

Clearly, he still didn't believe in his own capabilities, but Wang Xiaoqiang didn't care about these things. After all, he thought, if he were in Hu Xue Ren's shoes, he wouldn't believe in his ability to cure cancer either!

Saving lives was a doctor's duty; to neglect this duty was a disgrace! Wang Xiaoqiang admitted to being audacious and shameless in other aspects, but he believed he was true to his conscience in practicing medicine!

One willing to treat, one agreeing to cooperate.

Thus...

The treatment started.

Hu Xue Ren was instructed to go to his bedroom, take off his clothes, and lie down on the bed.

Hu Xue Ren did as he was told.

At that moment, Jiang Wei felt a surge of nervousness. She walked up to Little Qiang, grabbed his hand, and said earnestly, "Little Qiang, my uncle's illness is in your hands now, this is my last hope..."

Feeling her soft grasp, Wang Xiaoqiang's heart fluttered, then he grasped her hand back, gave it a gentle shake, and comforted her, "Don't worry, I will give it my all!"
