Xu Hao slightly shook his head and said, "Just because things have gone smoothly so far doesn't mean they will continue to do so. Just because it's a skin disease doesn't mean it won't cost someone their life. Director You may not agree with what I say, but I am not angry because we will see the outcome eventually."
Xu Hao paused, then added, "Perhaps, we won't even have to wait that long to see the outcome."
"What do you mean by that comment?" You Yaozong said, quite displeased.
Xu Hao let out a light laugh and did not speak further. You Yaozong's forehead grew increasingly darker; his career might just encounter problems tonight.
After a long while, Xu Hao finally finished drawing a talisman. After completing it, a layer of sweat had formed on his body, for he had drawn many talismans that day, and thus the Qi Force inside him was not very abundant. Consequently, drawing this type of healing talisman was somewhat strenuous.
At this point, Commander Wu asked, "Xu Xiao You, how should this be used?"
Picking up the talisman and walking, Xu Hao explained, "Dr. Carl's illness is quite peculiar, caused by radiation exposure, so ordinary medications can't cure it. But my talisman is different; it can clear a person's body. Once applied, it can make most diseases in his body recede. Dr. Carl must be aware of this too, as he usually takes some protective measures. Even though he's afflicted with diseases now, none are too severe. Therefore, my talisman can be effective. If he had cancer all over, of course, that would not work." Thi$s+ is a samp&le f*ro+m@ My V.ir+t!ua@l% Li*brar$y Em*pi-re.^ R^ead- the res#t on M-&VL*EM@PY#R*..
Commander Wu nodded repeatedly. Xu Hao's explanation made a lot of sense. If Xu Hao claimed that one talisman could cure all diseases, he would not believe it at all. How could any talisman have such miraculous effects?
But Xu Hao was unaware of Commander Wu's thoughts. Otherwise, he would have certainly laughed to himself, because such miraculous talismans really do exist, but drawing them requires a very high realm, something Xu Hao was far from achieving at present.
However, You Yaozong then spoke up, "You say this thing can cure diseases, and I'll believe that for now. But what if you do cure him? He's still going to work in the same field and will still be exposed to radiation. Perhaps he'll relapse before long."
Commander Wu, somewhat displeased, said, "Director You, Xu Xiao You might cure Dr. Carl's illness, which would be a wonderful thing. Why must you say more?"
Xu Hao ignored him and activated the talisman, then a floating light flew from the talisman to Dr. Carl's body.
In the astonished eyes of Commander Wu and You Yaozong, Dr. Carl's physical functions gradually improved. The redness on his skin started to fade, and even his hair seemed to become less pale.
"This… this…" You Yaozong was completely astonished; he had never seen such a miraculous method of treatment. But then something occurred to him, and pointing at Xu Hao, he said, "I remember now, this is sorcery often used by Jianghu Sorcerers, who deceive and swindle people with such things."
At this point, Commander Wu could hardly restrain himself any longer and said in a rather cold tone, "Director You, do you not think before you speak? Xu Xiao You has almost cured Dr. Carl, and yet you call him a swindler? Do swindlers cure people?"
You Yaozong was not yet ready to admit defeat, but seeing Dr. Carl opening his eyes at that moment, he knew he had lost this time. However, recalling what Xu Hao had earlier said, he immediately retorted coldly, "Young man, you cursed my career earlier, and yet I am still doing quite well!"
Xu Hao glanced at You Yaozong and saw a dark cloud already at the center of his forehead, and he said with a faint smile, "Director You, your bad luck has arrived."
"You're talking nonsense…"
You Yaozong had not yet finished his sentence when his phone suddenly rang. Seeing it was the head of the hospital calling, he answered with a delighted tone, "Director, is this call about the dinner…"
He had just been promoted to vice-director and was still establishing his seat while needing to network with leaders from the city's health bureau, and as his promoter, the director was indeed planning such a dinner.
Thus, You Yaozong thought the director was calling about this matter.
However, the person on the other end said, "Eat, eat, eat, that's all you think about! Let me tell you, just now, the leadership decided to sack you from your position as vice-director!"
"Ah? Why? I've just been promoted, and I've been doing well, why demote me?" You Yaozong was completely baffled. He felt he had no issues, diligently worked hard, dedicated himself to his job without any corruption, and respected his leaders.
"Sigh, I don't know what happened either, your position just vanished, and moreover, they said there is a problem with your conduct and you must be suspended and investigated."
The director's words struck You Yaozong like a bolt from the blue, striking him on the head.
Being suspended and investigated meant a heavy stain on his career, making it even difficult to preserve his current position.
