From Evil Sect Leader to Doctor-Chapter 329 - 304: Redemption

Tong Guangsheng had an incredibly long dream, where he returned to Zhe Yin Mountain, witnessing his comrades fearlessly walking into a minefield. Tong Guangsheng was so agitated that he charged forward, engaging in close combat with the enemy, piercing the enemy’s heart with a sharp bayonet.

His body was stained with blood, and one by one, the enemies fell before him. Suddenly, everyone around him disappeared, and the surroundings were instantly covered with beautiful flowers.

A beautiful woman, holding a little boy’s hand, walked towards the hillside. The woman was undoubtedly his wife, and the boy was the young Yuanhang.

Tong Guangsheng was extremely emotional, calling out the names of his wife and son, but they couldn’t hear and continued walking up the hill, arriving at a lonely grave surrounded by flowers. His wife was saying something to the boy, but he couldn’t hear.

Tong Guangsheng walked over, waving his hand in front of them, but they couldn’t see him.

The boy picked up a freshly woven wreath adorned with morning dew and placed it in front of the tombstone. Only then did Tong Guangsheng remember to look at the tombstone, and to his surprise, it bore his name.

"Am I dead? I’ve been dead for a long time?" Tong Guangsheng struggled and shouted, but his wife and son couldn’t hear him.

Suddenly, the ground beneath him collapsed and turned into a swamp, and he gradually sank. Tong Guangsheng waved his arms and struggled, soon most of his body was submerged in the grave, with only his hands remaining above.

I’m dead, I’ve been dead for a long time!

I’m so tired, I want to sleep well, Tong Guangsheng silently told himself.

Just when he wanted to fall asleep, someone grabbed his hand, pulling him up little by little. His eyes emerged above ground, the light pierced his eyes, and all he could see was a blinding whiteness.

"Dad!"

Tong Guangsheng struggled, the voice of his son as a child and as an adult intertwined in his ears.

"Dad!" The voice changed from illusory to real, Tong Guangsheng tried hard to open his eyes, the blinding whiteness started to take shape, gradually darkening, and his eyes regained the ability to distinguish colors.

No flowers, no grave, he was in a clean hospital room.

"Dad, you’re awake!" Shu Yuanhang held his father’s hand tightly, afraid that if he let go, he would escape from his world.

Tong Guangsheng never thought the distance between reality and dreams could be so close, he held his son’s hand tightly. It wasn’t a dream, his son was calling him Dad, clearly calling him Dad, more than once, Tong Guangsheng wanted to respond, but although his throat moved, he still couldn’t speak.

Shu Yuanhang said, "There’s no need to say anything, Nianzu is fine, we’re all fine, it’s over, it’s all over."

Tong Guangsheng pursed his lips, a muddy tear slowly flowed from his right eye.

Shu Yuanhang just held his father’s cold hand silently, gratefully watching him, thankful for the world that allowed his father to be saved, not only giving him a chance to live but also giving himself a chance to correct his mistakes, otherwise, he would live with lifelong regret and spend the rest of his life in remorse.

After a night’s rest, Huang Jiucheng felt good, recalling the previous months of suffering from illness, he felt like he had gone from hell to heaven.

Huang Jiucheng was a very shrewd person. His previous imprisonment for a fundraising scam hit rock bottom in his life, and after getting out, he unfortunately fell ill, the disease tortured him to the point where he lost the will to live. When a person loses hope, there’s no energy left to consider anything else.

After more than three months, Huang Jiucheng finally had a good night’s sleep and could finally breathe like a normal person. Without the previous painful experience, one wouldn’t understand how simple living is such a happiness.

Like a newborn, Huang Jiucheng realized something happened, his mother had been missing for several days. Although his daughter concealed it from him, her swollen red eyes clearly showed she had cried. When Huang Jiucheng was ready to ask his daughter. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Hua Zhuyue and Xu Chunliang came together, it was time to tell Huang Jiucheng the truth.

Hua Zhuyue briefly explained the cause and effect of the whole matter, and Huang Jiucheng was overwhelmed with sadness, he wanted to cry, but at this moment, he couldn’t cry. His mother’s death was entirely caused by him. If he hadn’t dragged his family down, his mother wouldn’t have risked everything in her old age, ultimately dying under the blades of kidnappers.

Xu Chunliang reminded Huang Jiucheng not to get agitated, since the incident had happened, he could only accept reality and mourn peacefully.

He used acupuncture to cure Huang Jiucheng’s constant laughter and emotional agitation, but to fundamentally resolve his issues, it also required medication, and the treatment process was expected to last about two months.

Huang Jiucheng sighed, "I can’t repay my mother above, nor can I take care of my daughter below, even caused my mother to die tragically for me, my daughter dropped out of school because of me, I... how could a person like me have the face to live..." His breath was weak, and he started gasping before he could finish his sentence.

Although Xu Chunliang did not sympathize with such a person, considering he had a lovely and sensible daughter, he couldn’t just watch him die, if he died, Huang Zichun wouldn’t even have a father.

Xu Chunliang prescribed a formula for Huang Jiucheng.

Huang Jiucheng suffered from kidney qi deficiency, the eight meridians lacked nourishment, the Chong meridian could not flow downward, coldness had reached deep, the five viscera were depleted, yin deficiency below presenting a heat transformation tendency.

The problem of the Chong meridian should be treated with a modified version of Cinnamon Twig Decoction, aided by replenishment of the Ren and Du meridians.

Xu Chunliang prescribed a formula.

Cinnamon twig, cassia, white peony 10g each, roasted licorice 6g, Chinese angelica, fossilized bird, cistanche, black sesame, purple stone, active magnet, raw dragon bones, anemarrhena 30g each on the power board (prior infusion) 45g, deer antler glue (melt it)...

Decoction twice, mix evenly, take at the first quarter of the ugly hour all at once...

Hua Zhuyue arranged a room for Huang Jiucheng at the Tangquan Rehabilitation Center. He can recuperate there for the next few months, and a dedicated caregiver will take care of him.

As for Huang Zichun, she has already found a boarding school for her. With the child’s cleverness, there should be no problem with schooling. As for tuition and living expenses, Huang Jiucheng need not worry; she has promised Huang Si Po and will see it through to the end.

Although Huang Jiucheng did not utter a word of thanks, the kindness of Hua Zhuyue and Xu Chunliang is firmly remembered in his heart.

At this time, the police came to investigate the situation. Xu Chunliang and Hua Zhuyue left the room and went outside, just in time to see Ruan Xingmei leaving with two children. Tong Nianzu and Huang Zichun were holding hands as they walked, the two children getting along very well.

Ruan Xingmei had specifically bought new clothes for Huang Zichun and braided her hair. The little girl looked even prettier and more adorable under her touch.

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, are you taking them out to play?"

Ruan Xingmei replied, "Taking the two of them to the restaurant to get something to eat."

The two little fellows ran towards the elevator together. Ruan Xingmei quickly followed, as she had been on high alert for everything since yesterday’s incident: "Wait for me!"

Xu Chunliang reassured her, "Don’t worry, everything will be fine."

The three of them joined them in the elevator, and Hua Zhuyue reached out to touch Huang Zichun on her head, saying, "Zichun, how about I take you to the school interview in a couple of days?"

Huang Zichun looked at Hua Zhuyue, shook her head, and said, "I don’t want to go to school; I want to take care of my dad."

All three of them felt a sense of compassion; the child’s thoughtfulness was truly touching.

Tong Nianzu held Huang Zichun’s hand and said, "No, I don’t want sister to go to school; I want to be with sister."

The elevator doors opened, and the two children rushed to the restaurant. Ruan Xingmei smiled wryly and shook her head at them, saying, "The two children get along so well, it’s hard to separate them." She said as she hurried after them.

Xu Chunliang and Hua Zhuyue exchanged a glance. Hua Zhuyue said, "I’ve already found a boarding school for her, a very good one."

Xu Chunliang said, "It would be better to ask for Huang Jiucheng’s opinion."

Hua Zhuyue replied, "What opinion could he have? He’s so sick; he’s in no position to discuss taking care of children. I’ve promised Huang Si Po, and of course, I’ll see it through."

Xu Chunliang said, "Zichun might not like your arrangement."

Hua Zhuyue said, "What do you know? How can a child not go to school?"

Xu Chunliang laughed, "Do you know? Have you ever had a child?"

Hua Zhuyue recalled being teased by him in the past and glared at him fiercely, "I’ll settle the score with you someday." She walked out and got into the business car waiting outside.

Xu Chunliang intended to visit Tong Guangsheng at the hospital before leaving. As he was about to set off, Shu Yuanhang called out to him from behind.

Tong Guangsheng had passed the critical period today and had been transferred to a regular ward. Wang Jinwu offered to replace Shu Yuanhang, allowing him to rest.

Shu Yuanhang returned to the hotel for three hours of sleep. Worried about his father, he planned to go over again.

Xu Chunliang and Shu Yuanhang walked to Lijiang District Hospital together, as the hotel was very close to the hospital, just across the street.

Shu Yuanhang hadn’t had a chance to thank him yet, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, thanks a lot."

Xu Chunliang smiled, "You’re calling me brother; no need to thank me."

Shu Yuanhang said, "If it weren’t for you and President Hua, it would have been the end for our family."

Xu Chunliang told Shu Yuanhang that Luan Yuchuan had already stepped in to smooth things over for him. As long as Shu Yuanhang didn’t leave the country, Li Zongyuan wouldn’t cause him any trouble.

Shu Yuanhang felt relieved upon hearing this news. Although they had succeeded in rescuing his son this time, Shu Yuanhang could not feel at ease. Li Zongyuan was ruthless, and even if this plot had been thwarted, he would return someday.

Tong Guangsheng had already left the ICU, and Wang Jinwu was by his side. When he saw Xu Chunliang and the others come in, he put a finger to his lips in a gesture of silence.

The three of them left the room together. Wang Jinwu said, "He just woke up for a while and wanted to see Xiaonianzu, so I opened a video call. He watched for over a minute before falling asleep."

Shu Yuanhang told them to chat among themselves while he went to the doctor’s office to check the latest test results, as his father still had leukemia.

Wang Jinwu watched him walk away and laughed, "It seems the father and son have reconciled after this ordeal."

Xu Chunliang said, "That’s inevitable. Uncle Tong gave him a second chance at life; even a heart of stone would soften."
