Old Master Zhong looked like this, which not only didn't make Wang Xiaoqiang feel embarrassed, but also relieved him because he was most afraid of being watched when he was performing his duties, especially by patients.

Just now, Zhong Ping had already listed Old Master Zhong's ailments, which Wang Xiaoqiang remembered. Old Master Zhong was angry and certainly wouldn't cooperate with the treatment. Therefore, Wang Xiaoqiang could only use the Qi Guiding Technique now to channel Spiritual Energy into his body. Based on Zhong Ping's description of Old Master Zhong's illness, Wang Xiaoqiang carefully chose to use the Spiritual Energy. First, he channeled the vibrant Wood Element Spiritual Qi into the old man's skull to treat his brain atrophy. Brain atrophy, simply put, is the decline and death of brain cells. Why don't young people get this disease? It's because their bodies are filled with vitality. Older people, especially those over sixty-five, are prone to this disease because there isn't much vitality left in their bodies. Given this, the vibrant Wood Element Spiritual Qi was the perfect choice for treating brain atrophy.

Similarly, the vibrant Wood Element Spiritual Qi could also treat the old man's heart disease, a point that had been proven in Tang Mingyuan's case.

Then, Wang Xiaoqiang used Earth Element Spiritual Qi to treat the old man's diabetes. To put it simply, diabetes is when the body cannot fully absorb sugars, resulting in high blood sugar. In traditional Chinese medicine, this would be considered an endocrine disorder, and indeed, in contemporary hospitals, diabetes is classified under endocrinology. In the endocrine system, the spleen is responsible for metabolism; too much sugar in the body means that the spleen's metabolic function is out of order. Ultimately, the problem lies with the spleen. Corresponding to the "Earth" aspect in the Five Elements, using Earth Element Spiritual Qi to treat diabetes should be effective.

Then, Wang Xiaoqiang also used Fire Element Spiritual Energy to treat the old man's high blood pressure.

In traditional Chinese medicine theory, the formation of high blood pressure is due to a disorder of the body's Qi and blood. In patients with high blood pressure, their Qi and blood behave like a mischievous child, running around chaotically. When it should return 'home', it doesn't, and when it shouldn't, it insists on doing so; of course, this so-called 'home' refers to the 'heart'.

The heart governs blood; all the Qi and blood in the body depend on the heart as the powerhouse. Disruption, imbalance, deficiency, disorder, and excess of Qi and blood are all related to the heart.

Therefore, the heart must also be unhealthy in patients with high blood pressure. Heart diseases often present symptoms of high blood pressure; the two are closely related. Therefore, treating high blood pressure requires starting from the heart. In the Five Elements, the 'Fire' corresponds to the heart, so using Fire Element Spiritual Energy to treat high blood pressure couldn't be more appropriate.

Because Old Master Zhong had many ailments and because Wang Xiaoqiang was using the Qi guiding technique to treat him, this treatment exhausted him greatly and also consumed a lot of Spiritual Energy. If it weren't for Sister Ping's father, he wouldn't have made such a large investment.

During Wang Xiaoqiang's treatment, Old Master Zhong comfortably fell asleep.

Seeing that the old man had fallen asleep, Wang Xiaoqiang felt relieved, then pulled open the door and walked out of the ward.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang walking out in a sweat, Zhong Ping knew this treatment had taken much effort, and she couldn't help feeling worried. She immediately went up and took Wang Xiaoqiang's hand, "Little Qiang, are you alright?"

"Sister Ping, I'm as sturdy as an ox, what could be wrong with me?…" Wang Xiaoqiang shook his head lightly. Although the treatment had exhausted him greatly, the four Spiritual Springs within his body couldn't be compared to before. At this moment, Spiritual Energy continued to emanate from his forehead, nourishing his brain and allowing Wang Xiaoqiang to quickly recover his Vital Essence, Qi, and Spirit.

"You've worked hard, Little Qiang," Zhong Ping's voice was somewhat choked up.

"Really, it's fine, Sister Ping, please don't be like this. It makes me feel bad too," Wang Xiaoqiang patted Zhong Ping's plump shoulder, feeling her shoulder tremble with each pat.

"Alright, Sister Ping, the old man is asleep now. This treatment should be effective. If there are any issues in the future, just tell me, and I will definitely come back to see Old Master Zhong…"

Zhong Ping dabbed at her tears and nodded happily. Just then, her cell phone rang. She pulled it out and saw that it was a call from the police station.

Zhong Ping's face brightened, and she immediately answered the call.

"Hello, Ms. Zhong, good day. I'm from the city police department. The theft case has been solved, and all the stolen items have been recovered. You can come and collect your belongings now…"

"Uh, okay, I'll be right over…" Zhong Ping said happily.

"Ms. Zhong, there's another matter I regret to inform you about. When we originally investigated the crime scene, the snuff bottle you reported as missing was also found, but unfortunately, it was damaged by the thief…"

"Uh…" Upon hearing this, Zhong Ping was momentarily stunned. However, given her composure, she naturally wouldn't lash out at the caller, but simply said, "No problem, I'll be right over."

"Sister Ping, you've been busy all day. Let me go get it for you…" Wang Xiaoqiang said. "Besides, Old Master Zhong also needs someone here,"

Zhong Ping was indeed tired that day, emotionally more than physically, so seeing Wang Xiaoqiang say this, she nodded, "Alright, Little Qiang, be careful on the road…"

Wang Xiaoqiang nodded and left.

Zhong Ping called the police station back, informing them that Wang Xiaoqiang would collect the items on her behalf.

Wang Xiaoqiang arrived at the city police department, collected Zhong Ping's lost items, and indeed found a damaged snuff bottle among them. Despite the piece being broken, the police still apologized and handed over the snuff bottle along with the broken piece to Wang Xiaoqiang.

Wang Xiaoqiang didn't say much, took the items, and left. Back in his Humvee, after driving away from the police station, Wang Xiaoqiang pulled over, then took out the damaged snuff bottle and repaired it using Earth Element Spiritual Qi, reattaching the broken piece until the snuff bottle appeared as good as new, showing no signs of damage.

"Ha, this little thing really does look nice, no wonder it's worth over a million," Wang Xiaoqiang manipulated the snuff bottle in his hand for a moment, but since he had no interest in collecting, he put it back in the bag and then drove back to the hospital.

Back at the hospital, he showed the retrieved items to Zhong Ping. Seeing the snuff bottle in perfect condition, Zhong Ping curiously said, "Huh? Didn't the police say the snuff bottle was broken? Were they joking with me?"

"Sister Ping, do you think the police would joke with you?" Wang Xiaoqiang countered.

"Then where did this snuff bottle come from? It couldn't be you…"

"Sister Ping, actually, this is still that same snuff bottle, I just repaired it..." Wang Xiaoqiang said.

"Repaired it?" Zhong Ping said in surprise, "You have that skill? That seems unlikely..."

"Sister Ping, I know you can't believe it, but it is true. As for how it was repaired, that's not something you need to worry about. What you need to do now is to take this snuff bottle and use it to cheer up the old master..." Wang Xiaoqiang said.

Although Zhong Ping was amazed, she was not a young girl after all; seeing Wang Xiaoqiang talk like this, she naturally did not delve deeper and smiled happily at his words, "Xiaoqiang, good brother, you are indeed my benefactor!"

"Sister Ping, don't you know I come from a peasant family? How come I'm noble now..." Wang Xiaoqiang said.

"Pfft, you little rascal, why are you splitting hairs... I just meant that you brought good luck to your sister..." Zhong Ping teased Wang Xiaoqiang with a flirty glance, then took the snuff bottle and went into the sickroom.

Soon, the sickroom was filled with the happy laughter of Old Master Zhong, along with Zhong Ping's screams, "Ah, Dad, you, you can get out of bed..."

Wang Xiaoqiang, hearing this, guessed that his "treatment" for Old Master Zhong had taken effect. The Old Master, overjoyed at seeing the snuff bottle, forgot about his illness and got out of bed. However, due to the effective treatment, the frail old master had no issues after getting up.

Wang Xiaoqiang's guess proved correct. Overjoyed, Zhong Ping immediately called Wang Xiaoqiang into the sickroom, "Xiaoqiang, you're amazing. The Old Master has been too weak to get out of bed for days, and now, thanks to your treatment, he's up and about like he's not even sick..."

"Uh..." Old Master Zhong looked slightly startled as he gazed at Wang Xiaoqiang, "Little Ping, are you saying this young man cured my illness?"

"Yes, Dad, let me introduce him," Zhong Ping introduced Wang Xiaoqiang, "His name is Wang Xiaoqiang, he's like a younger brother to me. Don't let his young age fool you, he's done big things. He has his own company, and he cooperates with foreign companies. Of course, he can also treat illnesses with Qigong..."

"Uh, why have I never heard you mention him before..." Old Master Zhong said, extending his hand to Wang Xiaoqiang eagerly, "Wang Xiaoqiang, that's a plain name, much like mine. I'm called Zhong Xiaobing... hehe..."

Seeing the old man reach out, Wang Xiaoqiang immediately extended both hands to shake his, "Good to meet you, Old Master..."

"Dad, those two orchids I bought for you last time were actually grown by Xiaoqiang..." Zhong Ping intentionally bragged about Wang Xiaoqiang in front of her father.

"Oh? Xiaoqiang, where did you get those two orchids from..." the old master was greatly surprised.

Wang Xiaoqiang replied nonchalantly, "I dug them up from the mountain."

"Then that mountain must be a treasure trove. Hey, Xiaoqiang, how about we go dig for orchids together tomorrow..." Old Master Zhong said like a child.

"That sounds great, but Old Master, although there are many orchids on that mountain, the rare and valuable ones are extremely rare; it might take years to find even one..."

"Uh... I see..." the old master sounded a bit disappointed. However, after being treated by Wang Xiaoqiang's therapy and able to walk around, and seeing that his body seemed strong and his Vital Essence, Qi, and Spirit were satisfied, he then had a new idea, "Xiaoqiang, how about we go to the auction tomorrow to see if there are any interesting items, okay?"

"Dad, you're free, but Xiaoqiang might be busy, he can't accompany you, I'll go with you instead..." Zhong Ping knew that ever since her father suffered from brain atrophy, his thinking had become more childlike. Whatever he thought of, he would do impulsively and never listen to reason.

"Uh, no problem, I'm free tomorrow..." Wang Xiaoqiang said.

"Tsk, Xiaoqiang just said he's free, how can you say he's busy? Are you just trying to contradict me?" the old master got annoyed.

"Alright, alright, let Xiaoqiang accompany you tomorrow..." Zhong Ping had to persuade him like coaxing a child.

For the time being, Old Master Zhong still stayed in the hospital. Zhong Ping hired professional medical staff to take care of him around the clock, so she did not need to stay the night, and thus she went home with Wang Xiaoqiang.

Zhong Ping rode in Wang Xiaoqiang's car. On the way, she kept looking at Wang Xiaoqiang with eager eyes, just like a girl experiencing her first crush. Wang Xiaoqiang felt his heart pounding nervously...

They arrived at the villa. Zhong Ping personally prepared a bath for Wang Xiaoqiang, telling him to go ahead and bathe. After Wang Xiaoqiang had finished bathing and was just about to go to sleep, Zhong Ping stopped him, "Xiaoqiang, wait, come chat with me for a while..."

Wang Xiaoqiang nodded somewhat guiltily, fearing that the conversation would lead to more "programs."

After her bath, Zhong Ping came out wearing a bathrobe. Under the light, although her voluptuous body was wrapped in a large bathrobe, her plump and fair long legs were mostly exposed; she approached Wang Xiaoqiang and said, "Sister will help you massage a bit more, okay?"

"Sister Ping, you don't have to, it's getting late..." Wang Xiaoqiang recalled the embarrassing moment when Zhong Ping had massaged his bones last time, and he couldn't help but blush, "Besides, you've had a long day, you must be tired..."

"How about you give me a massage then..." Zhong Ping said and without further ado, climbed onto the couch.

"Sister Ping, I, I don't know how..." Wang Xiaoqiang stammered nervously, to be honest, the scent of her body was quite tempting, let alone touching her, he was afraid he couldn't control himself.

"It's okay if you don't know how to massage, just pinch the shoulders, pound the back, you can do that, right..." Zhong Ping's voice was languid, and she turned her beautiful face towards him, her eyes fixed on Wang Xiaoqiang with intense anticipation. (To be continued.
