Huo Yao detected Chairman Wang’s curiosity, so she explained in a mild tone while she cleaned her needles. “If the patient has high metal in his system, it is considered poisonous.”
Chinese medicine was deep and profound. However, modern technology could undoubtedly provide in-depth test results often far better than traditional methods. Similarly, Chinese medicine had strengths of its own.
Effectively, Chinese and Western medicine complemented each other.

Chairman Wang quickly caught on to what Huo Yao meant and asked. “Does this mean you plan on detoxing Li Fang to purge the metal in his system?”
Huo Yao acknowledged him. She placed the silver needles back into their sheepskin roll after sterilizing them. “Normal detoxifying methods are incapable of purging them from Mr. Li’s body completely.”
Chairman Wang looked at the small basin containing blackened blood in astonishment. “Look at the amount of metal in his blood. I wonder how it ended up there.”
Huo Yao raised her brow and glanced at Li Fang lying on the bed.
Chairman Wang also looked at Li Fang, but the man kept looking elsewhere, so he paused without probing further.
Before long, the blood trickling from Li Fang’s finger gradually turned back to its normal shade of red.
Huo Yao stopped the bleeding and said calmly, “Avoid exposure to all kinds of radiation and stick to a light diet.”
Li Fang glanced at Huo Yao and nodded. “Okay.”
Chairman Wang held Li Fang’s wrist and took his pulse. He asked Huo Yao. “His pulse seems…”
“Normal,” interrupted Huo Yao.
Chairman Wang went into a daze. “Does this mean he has recovered completely?”
“That’s right.” Huo Yao remained calm. “However, he has some heart problems, so he needs to continue seeking treatment and has to watch his health regularly.”
Chairman Wang nodded. From time immemorial, it was hard for heart conditions to recover fully. Other than having good rest, there was no cure for it.
“My body suddenly feels good.”
Li Fang had already gotten up from bed slowly with sweat on his forehead. When Huo Yao was treating him, he could sense intense pain as the silver needles coursed through his body.
Now that the pain and illness were gone, it felt as though he was a new man.
Huo Yao looked at Li Fang. “I told you. It was treatable.”
Li Fang suddenly recalled what it was like when he first met the girl. He had agreed to seek treatment so as not to worry Fang Chen. Even when Huo Yao said his condition was curable, he did not bear hope.
After all, his condition was a side effect of a failed experiment.
Li Fang raised his head and said, “I am deeply impressed. Have you ever heard about the National Academy of Medicine?”
“Yes, I have.” Huo Yao spoke mildly. Then, she checked the time and said, “Mr. Li, I have somewhere to go tonight, so I have to make a move first.”
Li Fang could tell that Huo Yao did not want to talk about this, so he simply swallowed his words without going on.
Huo Yao packed her things. Then, she paused and said, “Can you not tell anyone about my treatment?”
Li Fang was caught by surprise by this request, but he simply nodded without asking anything further. “Sure.”
“Uh huh.” Huo Yao stood up.
Chairman Wang finally recalled the things which he had brought. He hurriedly stood up and gave Huo Yao the Chinese herbs she wanted. “Hang on. I nearly forgot about them. Here are your herbs. Your ID card is inside as well.”
