Physician's Odyssey Chapter 596 - Turn of Tables

The ventilation of air was to expel all the toxins in the stomach and intestines that also contained the remnants of the medicine Stefan took in the past. It could be considered a cleansing of the marrow and clearing the meridians' process to reforge Stefan's meridians and strengthen the function of his inner organs. So even if Stefan had a defect from his birth, his body was now comparable to any other person after this reforging.
The reason why Essential Tremors would usually appear in patients that were in their thirties was that once a person reached his thirties, his five viscera and six bowels would start to go downhill, especially the kidneys and liver functions. In addition to the fact that they were born with clogged meridians, this was the reason why the Essential Tremors would break out at this time.
So if Su Tao wanted to treat Stefan permanently, he would have to start from the liver and kidneys. By supplementing the deficiency in the liver and kidneys and having his meridians cleared, it would gradually resolve the uncontrollable tremors.
After observing for roughly two hours, Stefan regained his consciousness and glanced at Gregory before he asked in a hoarse voice, "What's wrong with me?"
Feeding water to Stefan, Gregory explained, "I invited Physician Su from China over to take a look at you. Please forgive me for taking actions into my own hands."
Glancing at Su Tao, who was standing nearby, Stefan inwardly sighed. He never expected that despite all his efforts to prevent it from happening, he still ended up being treated by the physician from China, who was recommended by Shui Junzhuo. However, he did not feel any dissatisfaction in his heart. After all, his heart has already fallen to rock bottom.
His illness was made known to the public, so he wasn't afraid that Shui Junzhuo would use it against him.
On the contrary, he felt thankful. In his current condition, everyone would want to distance themselves from him to look after their own hides. However, Shui Junzhui disregarded the view and pressure to actively try and treat him. Just this goodwill alone has been deeply engraved in his heart.
"Thank you, Ms. Shui!" Stefan revealed a self-mocking smile and continued, "It's a pity that I will be unable to help you with the cooperation project between our countries in my current state."
Waving her hands, Shui Junzhuo smiled. "Mr. Stefan, what's utmost important right now is for you to recuperate your health. As for the project, we can discuss it again after you've recovered."
However, Stefan shook his head and bitterly smiled. "The rumors are all right about me. I have a weird disease. It's so much so that even my father and uncle died because of the same disease. Hence, I've been worried that I will also become a victim of this curse one day, but I never expected that what I feared the most would really befall on me. That's how humans are, despite your wealth and power, there's nothing you can do but accept the arrangement of God. I have already accepted my fate, but even if I am leaving my position, someone will take over the project with regard to the cooperation between the two countries. After all, just as you've said, it's beneficial for both countries to work together."
Shui Junzhuo knew that under this state, Stefan's words came from the bottom of his heart. At the same time, she also knew that it's only beneficial to the progress of the project if Stefan stays in his position. Hence, she smiled. "I think you should ask your personal doctor, Mr. Gregory, about your current condition first!"
Upon hearing her words, Stefan looked at Gregory in perplexion.
With a smile spreading on his face, Gregory replied, "Your condition has already stabilised, and all of your indicators have returned to normal."
In disbelief, Stefan raised his hands and looked at them for a long time. Just as Gregory had said, his hands were no longer trembling. When he tried to move his neck, he realised that his neck was more agile than it was before.
"My disease is really treated?" Stefan was shocked as he rejoiced.
"At the very least, you're healthy right now. You're no different from an ordinary person. However, you still have to ask Mr. Su if you will suffer a relapse for your disease." Gregory smiled.
Turning around, Stefan looked at Su Tao with expectations while Shui Junzhuo translated their conversation.
"Your disease is genetic, so you will have to keep taking medicine if you don't want it to relapse. I'll give you a prescription. For now, take it twice a day; three months from now, take it once a day; a year later, take it three to five times a month. This way, you will be able to keep your disease under control." Su Tao smiled.
Su Tao intended to use medication to slow down the Yin energy in Stefan's liver and kidneys. This way, Stefan's liver and kidneys would maintain a good state and prevent a relapse.
At this moment, Gregory was filled with admiration and respect for Su Tao's medical skills. Even if he didn't understand TCM, he has already decided to study it and find out why it was so miraculous.
Su Tao got Gregory to prepare food for Stefan. After all, Stefan's physique was extremely weak at this moment since he had been drowning himself in alcohol and hadn't been eating. Hence, his body was lacking energy. After eating a sandwich with a cup of milk, Stefan felt more energetic. At this moment, a servant returned from buying herbs. After checking through the herbs, Su Tao demonstrated how to brew the medicine to the servant.
After taking the medicine, Stefan gently sighed as he said in confidence, "I feel as if I have completely changed into another person. Not only am I in full control of my hands, but I'm also filled with power."
Su Tao inwardly sighed. Stefan had no idea how fortunate he was right now. He just performed a process of cleansing the marrow and clearing the meridians for Stefan. Not only was that akin to adding oil for the tattered car, but he even changed the engine and other vital parts. Right now, Stefan's body function was comparable to someone in their thirties, so as long as he looked after his health well, it wouldn't be an issue for him to live for another 5 to 10 years on top of his original lifespan.
Since ancient times, there's no longevity. However, there were various ways to slow down aging and extending one's lifespan.
Gregory went over to Stefan's ears and whispered. Although Gregory couldn't see through it all, he could sense that Stefan seemed to have become much younger. Hence, he told Stefan about his speculation, which made Stefan feel incredibly thankful.
After all, who didn't wish to become younger?
Inwardly nodding his head, Stefan smiled. "Divine Physician Su, please give me face and stay for lunch!"
It's rare for Stefan to receive guests in his house, and that also means that he has given Su Tao the highest respect possible.
"Thank you for your goodwill. Then, I will do as you request." Su Tao then waited for Shui Junzhuo to translate his words to Stefan.
Who would cherish a typical lunch in Russia? What he's after is improving Stefan and Shui Junzhuo's relationship.
While waiting for lunch, Stefan started making phone calls and receiving phone calls. Now that he has recovered, he's filled with energy, and it's time for him to retaliate.
Dobrynin was too overconfident, and he had underestimated Stefan's ability. Stefan had already got someone to gather information on Dobrynin's assets with the main focus of his overseas assets. It was done in secret, so all the information was already in his hands. He just hasn't shown his trump card.
At the same time, the business circle in Russia underwent a shock from a report that implicated a group of people. Within the list, Dobrynin was the main perpetrator. Over the years, he had been using his position in the company to receive a large amount of bribes with monetary value as high as USD$350,000,000.
As for Stefan, who was involved in a rumor of suffering from a mysterious disease, he also started making public appearances. Since he proved that he's healthy through actions, it dispelled the pressure from the board of directors about removing him from his position.
Furthermore, Stefan and Shui Junzhuo have been contacting each other in private. Although there were still some details that still have to be negotiated with regards to aerospace technology, the cooperation was pretty much set in principle. Hence, the collaboration between them has been scheduled, and this could be considered as Shui Junzhuo's first achievement since she has been stationed in Russia.
Along with that, the diplomatic activity also got extended. Sticking to the original itinerary, they went on to visit the various cities in Russia. With the relationship between both their countries smoothened, the representative team was passionately welcomed and achieved nearly ten important investment directions. Putting it in a nutshell, the activity ended well despite the bumpy trip.
During the last night of their trip, the representative team held a banquet in the hotel, which Mr. Xue went to look for Su Tao. Although he could hold his alcohol well, he was clearly not used to vodka since his face was flushed with intoxication in his eyes.
"Physician Su, I have to tell you something from the bottom of my heart." He smiled.
Mr. Xue wasn't your ordinary figure since he had some weight in China. After all, he's the spokesperson of the core official. Although Su Tao's impression of Mr. Xue might be ordinary, he knew that there's no harm in maintaining a good relationship with the latter. On the contrary, he would benefit greatly.
"Please, speak!" Su Tao humbly smiled.
"My superior just told me a moment ago that your medical skills have resolved our problems time and time again. You have made a great contribution! Hence, he intends to reward you. However, the core official couldn't find an appropriate way to reward you, so he informed me to tell you that you can feel free to look for me if you encounter any issue within the country. I will resolve it for you." Mr. Xue gave out a promise.
However, Su Tao knew that you couldn't only believe in this sort of interaction. But even so, he still felt pretty great for Mr. Xue to personally speak to him about it. After a brief pondering, Su Tao smiled. "Then, I really do have something that I would like to trouble Mr. Xue with!"
Su Tao started to explain to Mr. Xue that the Qihuang Charity Funds would soon hold an auction.
Listening to Su Tao's words, Mr. Xue briefly pondered before he nodded his head. "I can give you a promise right now that I will personally attend it. Furthermore, if you lack enterprises to attend, I can provide you with a list of enterprises that I'm familiar with. These enterprises often participate in charity activities, and I believe that they will do you the honor of attending!"
Su Tao never expected that Mr. Xue would give him a promise so quickly, in which he rejoiced and smiled. "Then, I'll thank you in advance!"
"This is just a small matter!" Mr. Xue felt that it's beneficial to get to know such a divine physician. After all, he would be able to seek help from Su Tao in the future.
