Chapter 835: Chapter 835

As soon as the No.5 Leader spat out blood, Deputy Secretary-General Tian and the two doctors beside became extremely anxious.

"Deputy Secretary-General Tian, treating an illness doesn't involve inducing vomiting blood, we can't let him continue this reckless behavior." A male doctor said worriedly.

At this moment, Assistant Secretary Tian seemed to have made up his mind, and he approached directly. "Stop immediately."

"If you don't want your leader to die, then get the hell away from me." Ding Fan said coldly, dropping these words.

Deputy Secretary-General Tian glanced at the No.5 Leader, whose face was deathly pale, and his body began trembling slightly. It seemed that the leader was enduring considerable pain.

"Stop it right now." Deputy Secretary-General Tian nearly roared at this point.

Ding Fan did not speak anymore but continued to harness his energy to heal.

"You... you..." Deputy Secretary-General Tian was somewhat furious and wanted to go forward to interfere. But before he got close, Huang Can directly stopped Deputy Secretary-General Tian.

"What are you trying to do? If something truly happens to the No.5 Leader, who among you can bear the responsibility?" Deputy Secretary-General Tian's face darkened.

"Mr. Ding had said, if you don't trust him, you can replace him. Since you've chosen to trust him, now none of you can disturb him," Huang Can stated.

Deputy Secretary-General Tian watched Ding Fan still harnessing his energy for healing and after pondering for a moment, he once again waited quietly.

About an hour passed, and only then did Ding Fan deliver two successive palm strikes.

Following these two palm strikes, the No.5 Leader spat out blood once again.

Seeing the No.5 Leader spit out blood, Ding Fan finally ceased his energy harnessing and slowly stood up.

Assistant Secretary Tian hurried over as soon as he saw Ding Fan standing up. "How is the leader now?"

Ding Fan appeared somewhat weak at this time, he said faintly. "It's cured."

The two doctors in the medical vehicle looked at each other in disbelief.

You should know that even with Western medicine, such a serious illness cannot be cured in one day. It requires a process of diagnosis, treatment, and recovery; even the common cold cannot be cured in just one day.

Now, the No.5 Leader was infected with a mutated strain of the Black Death virus. The virus has just appeared, and its composition has not yet been studied. At present, among the infected population, not a single person who contracted the virus has been cured.

Yet Ding Fan claimed to have cured the disease in less than two hours......

This is almost too fantastical to believe.

Assistant Secretary Tian now approached the bedside. "Leader, how do you feel now?"

The No.5 Leader slowly opened his eyes, and although his complexion did not look very good, his spirit had improved incomparably from before.

"I feel much more relieved." The No.5 Leader nodded slightly. The source of thɪs content is 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚫𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚫𝕟𝕖𝕥

At this moment, the two doctors quickly took a thermometer to check the temperature, as uncontrollable high temperature is the most difficult aspect of the Black Death.

If the temperature truly went down, then the illness could be considered under control.

The No.5 Leader was very cooperative and held the thermometer in place, and afterwards, the doctors began to conduct other examinations for him.

What shocked the male doctor was that the symptoms of illness on the No.5 Leader's body truly had vanished, and at this moment, the No.5 Leader seemed almost like a normal person...

Two to three minutes later, when the thermometer was taken out and the doctor looked at it, he said incredulously, "It's really... this actually happened, it's really cured?"

"What did you say? The leader's illness is really cured?" Deputy Secretary-General Tian asked the other doctor.

The doctor nodded. "It's simply a miracle; the temperature has returned to normal, and from the current situation, the leader's illness is indeed cured. However, this is too incredible. You should know, the virus strain of the mutated Black Death is still not fully understood by the researchers at the Science Academy."

At this moment, the face of Deputy Secretary-General Tian was filled with joy. It was well-known that when the No.5 Leader became infected, Yanjing paid close attention and even gave specific instructions to prevent social panic.

It can be said that many people believed that the No.5 Leader had no chance of recovery, including the No.5 Leader himself who did not expect to continue living.

Yet Ding Fan cured the illness in just two hours.

"Mr. Ding, thank you..." At this time, Deputy Secretary-General Tian came over and bowed sincerely to Ding Fan. "This time you have truly helped the country resolve a major crisis."

It should be known that if a No.5 Leader of a country truly died from the illness, it would definitely cause panic. Ding Fan not only saved the No.5 Leader but can also be said to have made an indelible contribution to the peace of the society.

Ding Fan accepted the bow from Deputy Secretary-General Tian.

"Thank you." At this moment, with the help of two doctors, the No.5 Leader stood up.

This number five leader was quite amiable and did not become arrogant or rude because of his high position, which made Ding Fan spontaneously feel a sense of respect for him.

"You're too polite, leader," Ding Fan said indifferently.

Ding Fan was composed and unruffled, neither haughty nor humble, showing a level of cultivation rare for someone his age. Barely in his early twenties, he impressed the number five leader, who quickly took a liking to him.

"Ding Fan, since you can treat the Black Death virus in me, can you also treat the situation in the disaster area?" The number five leader got straight to the point.

Ding Fan shook his head slightly. "The method I use to cure people consumes a lot of physical strength, and I'm afraid I can treat at most two people a day. I've seen in the news that the number of infections is huge. Even if I'm willing to treat them, it would be too late to treat so many people."

Ding Fan could only mention his physical exhaustion to the number five leader. If he were to say that it consumes too much True Qi, Ding Fan believed the other party wouldn't understand, and explaining it would probably waste a lot of time.

After hearing Ding Fan's words, the number five leader nodded in agreement. If someone could only treat two people a day, then indeed, thousands of patients couldn't possibly be treated in time—one fears they would have died or the virus would have spread even wider before their turn for treatment came.

It would indeed be akin to trying to extinguish a cartload of firewood with a cup of water to ask Ding Fan to treat them by himself.

"Leader, if possible, Doctor Ding could discuss the situation with the virus and the experts. Perhaps this could help stamp out the epidemic," said a male doctor standing nearby.

By now, this male doctor no longer dared to underestimate Ding Fan, even addressing him respectfully as Doctor.

Ding Fan shook his head again. "I'm afraid that's also impossible, my method of treatment is very special, it doesn't require understanding the principles behind the disease, so in this respect, I can't provide much help. However, given some time, perhaps I could refine a Pill that could curb the epidemic."

At this, the number five leader's eyes lit up. "Good, that's great. If you really can research a vaccine to combat the epidemic, then you would be a national hero... If you have any difficulties, just let me know. Research funding, scientific teams, we can provide all those."

The Black Death once caused a massive number of deaths in human history; with its return, especially near Yanjing, as the capital of Huaxia Country, it's understandable that these people are worried.

"As for funding and scientific personnel, I don't need that, but I do have another request," Ding Fan said calmly.

"Go ahead. After all, I haven't thanked you for curing my illness," the number five leader said, half-jokingly.

Even though the number five leader was joking, Deputy Secretary-General Tian and the other two doctors looked at Ding Fan with envy.

Who Ding Fan had saved was no less than the fifth-ranked leader of Huaxia Country, who with a mere word could elevate Ding Fan to a position that many would look up to.

Such opportunities don't come by for just anyone.

"Leader, what I want to speak about now is him," Ding Fan said, pointing to Huang Can behind him.

Huang Can was startled at first but then understood what Ding Fan was about to say. Ding Fan intended to help him clear his name of past charges.

The number five leader looked at Huang Can and for a moment seemed puzzled. "What's wrong with him?"

"Leader, the thing is, he is a murderer..." said Ding Fan indifferently.

"What did you say?" At this, Assistant Secretary Tian immediately came rushing over and stepped in front of the number five leader.

"Xiao Tian, don't be nervous, step aside," the number five leader said, looking very composed.

Deputy Secretary-General Tian hesitated, but ultimately he couldn't ignore the leader's order and stepped aside obediently.

The number five leader remained calm and collected, revealing his deserved high-ranking status through such composure.

Ding Fan then recounted Huang Can's story to the number five leader all over again.

At the roadside barbecue under the willow tree that day, Huang Can had told his story of murder, so Ding Fan repeated the tale.

"His name is Huang Can, originally a military officer in the army of Huaxia Country... A superior in his unit wanted to abuse his authority to take a local woman for his wife. Huang Can, too indignant to stand by, rescued the woman. The superior then threatened Huang Can with a pistol, and in a struggle, Huang Can accidentally shot and killed him..."

Ding Fan hadn't finished speaking when the number five leader slammed his hand onto the table. "There's such a thing."

Ding Fan continued, "Huang Can is now a wanted criminal, but he has been studying medicine with me. I hope, leader, that you can give him a chance to make amends for his mistakes and redeem himself during this epidemic..."

The number five leader looked at Huang Can behind Ding Fan, then nodded and said, "You have the spirit of chivalry, something our Huaxia people lack nowadays... Huang Can, are you willing to atone for your crimes and fight this epidemic with us?"

Huang Can knelt on one knee. "Leader, I am already a man guilty of crimes, and if you are willing to give me this chance, I am more than willing!"

No one wishes to be forever away from home, drifting endlessly outside.

The number five leader nodded again. "Alright, I hereby agree not to pursue all of the charges against you for now, so you can devote yourself entirely to the epidemic task at hand."

The number five leader looked at Assistant Secretary Tian. "Call the unit Huang Can used to serve in and ask them to thoroughly investigate this matter. If it's an injustice, then we must clear Huang Can's name!"
