Probing

The next morning, Bai Ge woke up to find Shao Yuan had already left.

Knowing Shao Yuan had gone to keep an eye on Han Rui, he began his morning training.

Bai Ge trained diligently every day. After completing today's regimen, his punching power alone would reach 160 kilograms.

His other enhanced physical attributes were difficult to quantify. When combined with the advanced exertion techniques he had learned, he could unleash a heavy-hitting punch with 1.5 times the force, equivalent to 240 kilograms.

This punching power actually surpassed that of the world's top boxers.

This was because he could generate nearly four times his body weight in punching force, while top boxers could only manage between two and three times.

At this moment, Bai Ge was throwing punches, performing side kicks, doing squats, stretching, and jumping… continuously sweating and replenishing his body with nutrients.

After about four hours, he finished his training for the day.

"My body is getting stronger and stronger, so my training speed is also increasing. Starting tomorrow, I can do double the training volume."

Double the training volume would yield double the results.

He could then increase the volume tenfold, a hundredfold, and so on.

Around noon, Bai Ge changed his clothes and took out his phone to check Han Rui's location.

Han Rui had already left the villa and seemed to be out shopping.

As Bai Ge headed towards Han Rui's location, he called Shao Yuan.

It took a while for Shao Yuan to answer. "Bai Ge, I know his ability now."

Bai Ge chuckled, "Not bad. You're really getting into it. You figured it out that quickly?"

Shao Yuan was speechless. "It's not that I'm amazing, it's just that this guy… is too flashy!"

As Bai Ge made his way to the bustling pedestrian street, he learned about Shao Yuan's observations from the morning.

Now that Han Rui had money, he was shopping extravagantly.

From his clothes to various branded appliances, he was enjoying the pleasure of spending.

He frequently approached attractive women, introducing himself as someone who had returned from studying medicine in London. He could effortlessly diagnose their ailments and then easily cure them under the guise of giving them a massage.

Over the course of the morning, he had treated three patients.

According to Shao Yuan's observations, Han Rui displayed at least three anomalies.

First, without any physical contact, he could directly identify viral diseases in people and even name them.

Second, by simply touching a person's body with his hands, he could cure them, or perhaps eliminate the source of the illness.

Third, through physical contact, he could cause patients to immediately develop symptoms or worsen their condition.

It was nearing noon, and Han Rui was in a designer clothing store buying clothes.

Shao Yuan, meanwhile, was observing him discreetly from not too far away.

Bai Ge also arrived at the scene and met up with Shao Yuan.

Shao Yuan said, "See? He's starting again."

Han Rui, oblivious to being followed, was chatting with a beautiful sales assistant nearby.

"...Young lady, your health isn't great. You have a bit of a cold. Although it's a minor illness, don't let it linger. You should seek treatment promptly. When I was studying medicine in London, I saw many cases where colds, left untreated, developed into pneumonia," Han Rui said smoothly.

The beautiful sales assistant exclaimed in surprise, "You're a doctor too? You could tell I had a cold just like that… Thank you for your concern. I'll just go back and take some medicine."

Han Rui replied, "Don't just take medicine randomly; they all have side effects. If you're willing, I can give you a massage, and it will cure you. Don't worry, the results are immediate."

The beautiful sales assistant looked a little embarrassed, holding up a suit. "Oh, no need. Sir, please try this one on."

Han Rui frowned slightly, took out his card, and said, "No need to try it on, I'll take this one. And I'll take these as well."

As he spoke, he brushed against her hand. The sales assistant quickly smiled, took his card, and helped him package the clothes.

Suddenly, she coughed a few times, her nasal congestion and dizziness worsened, and she sat down on a stool, unable to stand steady.

Her face turned pale, her breathing became heavy, and she felt her cold had significantly worsened.

Han Rui quickly supported her. "Your condition has worsened. Let me help you with it."

Saying that, he reached out and began rubbing her chest, near her respiratory tract.

A colleague rushed over, trying to stop Han Rui.

At the same time, Bai Ge, inside the store, had a strange look on his face.

Shao Yuan whispered, "This is the worsening of the condition, but I can't see what the containment item is. Do you think he himself might be the containment item?"

Bai Ge shook his head. "It might be that ring. Those rings only cost two yuan. Now that he's rich, he hasn't taken it off, which clearly shows it's very important to him."

Shao Yuan looked and indeed saw a worn-out 'two-yuan' ring on Han Rui's hand.

The two watched from the side.

The store employees, however, were busy attending to the patient and trying to pull Han Rui away.

The store manager, a middle-aged man with a strong sense of responsibility, said, "Sir, please let go. I need to take my employee to the hospital."

Han Rui immediately said, "Don't misunderstand. This is acute influenza. A massage will fix it."

The store manager looked stunned and said, "Huh? I've never heard of such a method."

Han Rui said confidently, "Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. This is a technique I learned at the University of Munich, and the effects are immediate."

Bai Ge overheard this as he approached and thought to himself, Wasn't it London? How did it become Munich...

The store manager didn't notice this issue and instead spoke with some common sense, "You don't understand medical practice at all. You haven't even pressed the acupoints correctly. Besides, a cold is a viral disease. To cure it quickly, you need chemical means."

Han Rui then sneered, "No matter the means, as long as it cures the illness, that's all that matters."

Saying this, he looked at the beautiful receptionist again, releasing her and lingering, "See? Isn't she much better?"

Indeed, the receptionist's coughing suddenly stopped. Her breathing became much clearer, and her dizziness disappeared.

She looked at Han Rui with surprise, saying, "I really do feel much better."

The others were also astonished. How could this illness worsen so quickly and then improve just as fast?

They weren't doctors and only thought Han Rui's technique was exquisite.

However, Bai Ge frowned because he noticed an extra movement from Han Rui.

When he removed his hand from the patient, his ring was black. Then, he brushed against the store manager, and the ring turned silver-white again.

Bai Ge narrowed his eyes and thought, Could it be that he's not curing the illness but transferring the virus... to someone else?

After thinking about it, he decided to test it himself.

Bai Ge wasn't afraid of viruses. Viruses have no soul, so in his brain hole, they could be influenced like ordinary matter.

He could keep the virus dormant within himself and transfer it out later without any harm.

In a way, he possessed a similar ability to Han Rui.

At this moment, the store employees were shocked by the immediate effects of Han Rui's technique.

Han Rui put his hands in his pockets and smiled, "Do you believe me now?"

The employees nodded one after another.

Even the store manager was incredibly astonished, "I apologize, I misunderstood. What kind of technique is this?"

Han Rui emphasized again, "During my medical studies at the University of Munich, I personally treated many flu patients. I encountered them frequently, so I naturally developed some emergency treatment methods."

Bai Ge, as a bystander, finally couldn't help but say, "Is that so? Have you really been to the University of Munich?"

However, Han Rui didn't understand his question. Because Bai Ge spoke in a foreign language, Han Rui looked confused.

Han Rui stared blankly at Bai Ge, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I don't speak English in my country. Who are you?"

Bai Ge smiled and replied in Chinese, "I was speaking German. I heard you mention the University of Munich earlier and thought you might be an alumnus."

Han Rui froze. He had casually assumed Bai Ge was speaking English and didn't expect it to be German.

In his carelessness, he had exposed the fact that he didn't know two foreign languages.

Seeing the suspicious looks from the crowd, Han Rui frowned. He hadn't expected someone in the crowd to know German.

He knew nothing of German and said with shame and anger, "What nonsense are you talking about? You don't know German at all."

Bai Ge's expression changed, "I also studied medicine in Germany. To be honest, I've never known that illnesses could be treated this way. You've really opened my eyes..."

Han Rui frowned, "Is it any of your business how I treat people?"

Bai Ge angrily retorted, "But I won't allow you to use my alma mater's name to perpetrate fraud here. You're actually a swindler who knows nothing about medicine!"

Han Rui stared intently at Bai Ge, hesitated, and decided to ignore him, turning to leave.

However, Bai Ge continued, "You've been exposed and can't keep up the charade anymore? I hate people like you the most – always bragging without thinking, fabricating your identity. Why don't you claim to be a descendant of a medical immortal? What 'special technique'? It's just random messing around."

Han Rui stopped in his tracks, his eyes almost spitting fire as he looked at Bai Ge.

"You say I don't understand medicine?"

Bai Ge said indignantly, "Yes! If you have the guts, prove it to me!"

Han Rui looked at the crowd and realized they were all looking at him expectantly. He was taken aback.

Clearly, his lie had been exposed, and he had no way to refute it.

At this moment, he had to prove himself.

Suddenly, he pointed at the store manager, who was sniffling beside them, and said to Bai Ge, "Can you tell his physical condition?"

Bai Ge replied without hesitation, "He's contracted the flu. He'll be fine after taking some medicine... What's wrong?"

Han Rui shook his head, "You claim to have studied medicine, but you only know how to prescribe medicine? In fact, you're the one who's bragging... You don't believe in my medical skills, and I don't care about that, but you can't call me a liar! Watch this!"

The store manager indeed felt a bit unwell at that moment, with a stuffy nose and dizziness. It seemed like he had the flu too, as if the virus had been transferred to him earlier.

Han Rui reached out and rubbed his chest. Within seconds, the store manager felt much better.

The store manager wiped his nose in surprise, "It really works! It's instantaneous. My nose is suddenly clear."

The others witnessed this miraculous treatment again, wondering if modern medicine had advanced to this extent.

Han Rui looked back at Bai Ge and said, "He's been cured. Don't you also study medicine? If you don't believe me, you can check for yourself."

"You should know that the path of medicine in this world is endless. Don't mistake ignorance for truth."

He jabbered on, but Bai Ge only watched the gesturing of his hands.

The ring on his right hand turned black again.

Han Rui pointed at Bai Ge and said, "I've already proven my medical skills. Are you still calling me a liar?"

He eagerly awaited Bai Ge's response, wanting to see a look of surprise on his face.

However, Bai Ge glanced at him and replied with just one word: "Oh."

Afterward, he subtly signaled Shao Yuan, who was pretending to watch the excitement nearby: OK, let's go.

He turned and left immediately, seemingly no longer interested in Han Rui.

Han Rui was taken aback by this reaction. He couldn't understand why Bai Ge, who had been so angry moments ago, had suddenly changed his demeanor and left.

Even if he was unwilling to accept it, he should have at least said something harsh.

"Damn..." Han Rui was quite displeased with Bai Ge's reaction, but Bai Ge was already gone, leaving him helpless.
