Next day.
Morning, after 8 am.
Its a bright and windy day.
Dong Xuebing got out of bed in his old apartnt. He yawned and took out a cigarette. He sat on his bed and smoked. He was alone as Sister Xu had left last night. Although Xu Yan said they had forty minutes, their session lasted more than one and a half hours. He hoped he did not delay her matters. He was exhausted and fell asleep while hugging her. He does not know what ti she left.
Eh?
Theres sothing on the table.
Dong Xuebing saw a note under the ashtray while flicking the cigarette ash. He read it.
I am leaving. Have a good rest.
Xu Yan.
Dong Xuebing smiled and kept the note.
Suddenly, Dong Xuebings phone rang.
Dong Xuebing snubbed his cigarette and picked up his phone. It was from Yao Cui.
Hello. Dong Xuebing answered.
Xuebing, its . Yao Cui.
Haha I know.
I am at our workplace. The leaders asked to check with you on your recovery. How are you?
The doctor says I will be fine after so rest. What is it? Did sothing happen at work?
Not really. Its about the funds from the Central governnt. The higher-ups felt keeping the money in our Finance Departnt was not a good idea. Many departnt heads and townships are eyeing the money. There will be soone coming to ask for funds every day. The fund is insufficient for every departnt, and the County had several etings to discuss how to distribute the funds. Secretary ng cannot decide. The Party Committee wanted to decide during the next eting next month. You are in charge of the Finance Departnt and have received money from the Central Governnt. Mayor Jiang called yesterday, and I think she hopes you can attend next months Party Committee eting. But your body
Dong Xuebing blinked. Mayor Jiang wants to return?
I dont know. But I heard it from Mayor Jiangs secretary.
All right. I know. The eting is more than ten days away. I will attend the eting.
Your injuries need at least three to four months to recover. Dont force yourself. What if you worsen your injuries?
Its fine. I shall see about it. This is about the fund, and I must attend the eting.
Ok. Take care of yourself.
Dont worry about . I recover fast.
Dong Xuebing noted it on his phone. He got the money and wants to know how the County will use it. Mayor Jiang should have had so plans but did not call him because of what happened. Thats why she got her secretary to contact Yao Cui to pass the ssage. She needs Dong Xuebings support at the eting as they were from the sa camp.
There are still over ten days to the eting.
Dong Xuebing was in no hurry to return.
Dong Xuebing stretched and washed up. He prepared breakfast and ate it. He was feeling good, but his wounds were still hurting.
Never mind.
I will recover from my injuries now.
Dong Xuebing was not returning to the hospital and did not need to worry about the doctors finding out he had recovered. He can recover and pretend in front of others.
REVERSE!
Dong Xuebing recovered all his injuries.
Of course, he did not heal those minor wounds. He focused on the fractures in his ribs, arms, and legs. These were painful, and the remaining wounds are for others to see. He got to keep so injuries to show others. He cannot be seen without wounds when he removes his clothes.
A few minutes later.
Dong Xuebing moved his arms and legs. All right. He could not feel any pain, and his fractures had healed.
Ahh
It feels so good.
Dong Xuebing finally can relax after living with his injuries for a few days. He took the clothes made by Xu Yan to the bathroom and put them on. He checked himself in the mirror and nodded. He did not wear his new clothes at ho and changed out of it. He does not want to dirty them.
What should I do today?
Its been a while since I ca back. I should walk around.
Dong Xuebing went to a shopping mall and a library. He did not have ti to recharge since he started working. He finally got ti to rest, and no one was with him. He could read so books.
Thick Black Theory
The Art of Leadership
Dong Xuebing tried reading these books, but these books did not interest him.
He walked to the dical books section.
Dong Xuebing picked several books about Traditional Chinese dicine and acupuncture points and started reading. He claid he knew Traditional Chinese dicine and had treated many people. He feared his lie would be exposed and needed to learn the basics.
Chinese dicine
Human acupuncture points
Types of surgeries
Traditional Chinese massage
Dong Xuebing does not care whether it is Chinese dicine or Western dicine. He bought over a dozen books and DVDs. He started reading at ho and found these books more attractive than those on leadership. Maybe it is because he does not want to think about work when resting.
One book
Two books
Three books
Dong Xuebing read fast. He only wanted to understand the basics and did not need to morize them. He finished three books late at night. He likes to read Western dicine books, too. Western dicine books are more organized, and they have more machines. Their surgeries have standard procedures, unlike Chinese dicine. Just the acupuncture points are enough to give him a headache. The prescription is complex, too. The dicine for the sa illness differs depending on the patients body condition. The dicines for n, won, skinny, fat, etc., are different. He does not have ti to research about these. No wonder most Chinese Doctors are old doctors. One needs decades to learn this trade. Western dicine is easier to understand.
Dong Xuebing knew he could not learn Chinese dicine and started reading Western dicine books after morizing the acupuncture points.
3 am.
Dong Xuebing looked at the ti. He was tired but not sleepy. After the session with Sister Xu yesterday, he was satisfied, had a good sleep, and recovered from his injuries.
Lets read a while more and sleep at 4 a.m.
Dong Xuebing started reading the fourth book. It is a translated book. Although the book was translated into Mandarin, many terms and words were in English. He lit a cigarette and started reading the book on the sofa.
The usage of hemostatic forceps are
Dong Xuebing read softly and read out the English words. When he saw the word SLOW, he suddenly thought about his power. He blinked and read it. SLOW!
The next mont, Dong Xuebing felt sothing in his mind.
Dong Xuebing paused for a second. This was how he felt when he used his powers. What happened? Did I give a command?
Dong Xuebing called out his NU to check.
Remaining ti.
Two minutes thirty-five seconds
Two minutes thirty-four seconds
Two minutes thirty-three seconds
His ti was decreasing.
Dong Xuebing dropped his cigarette. What command did I say?
SLOW?
Its SLOW!
Dong Xuebing felt he dropped his cigarette, and his natural reflex was to catch it. To his surprise, his cigarette was floating in the air. It was dropping very slowly. It looked like a feather falling to the ground and landed a few seconds later.
SLOW? What is SLOW?
Does it an slowing down?
Dong Xuebing knew he found a new command. He looked at the curtains moving by the breeze. It was moving very slowly, as if it was in slow motion. He was overjoyed.
SLOW!
This ans ti has slowed down!
Dong Xuebing was glad he read these dical books.
