Power and Wealth

Before noon.

Provincial City, Deputy Minister Jia’s apartment.

Dong Xuebing saw Mrs. Jia in pain and wanted to show her his skills. “Mrs. Jia, waist pain is not a joking matter. It will get worse if you don’t get treated. How about you lie down and let me treat you?”

Mrs. Jia hesitated for a while. “No need.”

Dong Xuebing insisted. “You are in pain and must be treated.”

Mrs. Jia looked at Dong Xuebing. “Are you still a medical student learning Chinese Traditional Massage?”

Dong Xuebing knew she did not trust him and said. “Alright, Mrs. Jia. You are in pain for a few days. I will massage you for one minute and leave if you are still in pain.” He was confident in his treatment skills.

Mrs. Jia was surprised. “One minute?!”

“Yes. Only one minute.” Dong Xuebing replied.

Mrs. Jia replied. “Fine. I will let you try.”

Dong Xuebing got up. “Please lie face down on the sofa.”

Mrs. Jia looked at Dong Xuebing suspiciously and lay face down on the sofa. She had gone to the hospital for her lower back, and the doctor prescribed medicated patches and some oral medication, which was ineffective. That’s why she was septically when Dong Xuebing claimed he could cure her in one minute. Even the top massager in China would not dare to make such claims, let alone a young man in his twenties.

“Mrs. Jia, I am going to start.”

“Ok. Don’t use too much force. I don’t want to make it worse.”

“The process might be slightly painful, but don’t worry. I know what to do.” Dong Xuebing pressed her lower back with both hands. “Is it painful?”

“No.”

“Here?”

“A little.”

“What about here?”

“Ah…. This is the spot.”

Dong Xuebing acknowledged and pressed hard on that spot with both hands. There was a loud crack.

“Ah!” Mrs. Jia screamed.

Dong Xuebing immediately mumbled REVERSE in his heart and focused on her waist. Her waist condition returned several days ago.

One second….

Three seconds….

Five seconds….

Reverse deactivated.

The bedroom door opened, and Jia Miao walked out while holding his head. “What’s wrong?”

A man in his forties followed behind. He seemed to be a Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor.

Mrs. Jia was mad. She held her waist and scolded. “My waist hurts, and this young man insisted on giving me a massage treatment. Ah….”

That doctor frowned. “How can you use so much force in a massage, young man?! Do you know traditional massage? You look quite young. Have you graduated?”

Jia Miao’s face changed.

Dong Xuebing thought nothing about it and let go of his hands. “Mrs. Jia, stand up and see if your waist is still painful. You should be fine now. Of course, you still need to rest for a few days.”

Mrs. Jia’s face was pale. “I am alright now?!”

Dong Xuebing nodded. “Yes.”

“I cannot even stand now.” Mrs. Jia was still holding her waist.

Dong Xuebing smiled. “You are fine now. Try standing up and moving. I guarantee your waist does not hurt even if you exercise now.”

Jia Miao walked over. “How is it?”

Mrs. Jia clenched her teeth and held her husband’s hand. She tried moving her waist and did not feel any pain. She got up slowly and stood there in disbelief. She looked at Dong Xuebing and tried bending over slowly. She tried a few times and tried squatting a few times.

“I am fine.” Mrs. Jia patted her lower back.

Jia Miao was surprised. “Your waist is not painful anymore?”

“Yes. I don’t feel any pain.” Mrs. Jia moved her waist nimbly and did not look like she had pulled her lower back muscles.

The doctor was shocked.

Mrs. Jia was excited and looked at Dong Xuebing. “Young man, you are quite good. I had been to the hospital for treatment twice and taken medication. Those were not as effective as your massage.”

Dong Xuebing replied. “You must avoid strenuous exercise and rest for a few days.”

“Yes…. I will follow your orders.” Mrs. Jia was in a good mood and patted Dong Xuebing’s shoulder. “How did Xiao Zhang find you?”

Dong Xuebing replied honestly. “I don’t know Chief Zhang. He had called my friend, and my friend called me.”

Mrs. Jia praised. “Ok. You are young and capable.”

Jia Miao was about to say something when his head hurt. He held his head and started sweating. His migraine was happening again.

The doctor quickly went over to help him. “Minister Jia….”

“Old Jia….” Mrs. Jia panicked.

Jia Miao’s migraine was more severe than before. He could not even speak as he rubbed his temples.

The doctor quickly said. “Let me use acupuncture on you again.”

“Didn’t you use acupuncture on him earlier? Why is it not effective?”

“Err…” The doctor did not know how to reply. “Go and try, young man.”

The doctor wanted to stop Dong Xuebing, but Mrs. Jia wanted that young man to try treating Minister Jia. So, he stepped aside.

Dong Xuebing nodded and helped Deputy Minister Jia to the sofa. After that, he placed his hands on his head and pressed lightly. “Can you tell me exactly which part of your head hurts and what the pain is like?”

Jia Miao was sweating from the pain. “The pain is from the brain…. It felt like a squeezing pain.”

“Alright. Please endure for a while. You will be fine soon.”

Dong Xuebing took a deep breath, pressed Minister Jia’s head hard with his fingers, and used REVERSE.

One second….

Two seconds….

Dong Xuebing did not reverse Jia Miao’s condition until several days ago. He just reversed two days. Although it was only two days, the effects were evident.

Jia Miao stopped frowning and sweating. He opened his eyes after Dong Xuebing released his hands. He patted his head and said. “My headache is gone.”
