My Dad Is Fine
"My dad seems perfectly normal?"
Ren Yisheng took control of personnel matters at the Jishi Medical Center in the Academy District. Zhang Xuezhou, using the X432 body repair technology, Ren Yisheng progressed and brought to a close the content that had originally driven the fourth chapter of the Mental Strengthening Chapter.
Meanwhile, in another observation room, Zhang Weimeng, who had been under Ren Yisheng's control after taking Origin-Nurturing Pill, also began to awaken.
However, unlike Qin Hanwen, Song Bu'er, and others, Zhang Weimeng appeared to be perfectly normal, without exhibiting any strange behavior.
"Does seeing a tree grow mean you've completed the Realm Entry?"
"Just let me out!"
Why are you all staring at me outside?
Inside the observation room, Zhang Weimeng muttered something.
Having witnessed Professor Wang Haoran's mental breakdown upon Realm Entry, Zhang Weimeng once thought he too was at risk of mental breakdown, but he found himself to be perfectly normal.
Zhang Weimeng didn't need to clean toilets, nor did he imitate bird calls, and he never went so far as to lose his mind and cry and make a scene like Wang Haoran.
He felt as if he had simply gone through the motions, and once the process was over, he would be done.
Regardless of whether he was cultivating internal energy, Gene Fighting Technique, or the Realm Entry mentioned by Ren Yisheng, Zhang Weimeng felt that he had no sensations at all.
Apart from seeing a towering tree during a moment of confusion, he didn't sense anything unusual.
He didn't realize at the time that he had gained any new abilities.
"Dad, what's the name of the Qingcheng Sect leader?"
"Yu Canghai, don't test me with such a simple question. Give me a complicated one!"
Zhang Xuezhou asked a question casually, and Zhang Weimeng responded without hesitation.
"Alright, my dad's fine!" Zhang Xuezhou confirmed.
This is a bit unusual!
Ren Yisheng shook his head.
Using the same methods of stimulation and the same mental manipulation, Zhang Weimeng was also drawn into a hallucination from which he could not extricate himself.
In his hallucination, Zhang Weimeng flew into a rage, snatched his wife back, and beat Wang Li to a pulp.
Normally, Zhang Weimeng Zhang Weimeng would either have the idea of fleeing with his wife, turn himself in to the police, or only act normally when Song Fengying and Wang Li arrive.
But none of the many subsequent developments actually occurred.
After sleeping for several hours, Zhang Weimeng woke up perfectly normal, showing no signs of any aftereffects of being mentally guided.
"The illusion I have about you..."
"It's fake, I know it's fake. Although I believed it at the time and was so angry that I killed Wang Li, I realized what was going on afterward!"
Before Ren Yisheng could even voice his question, Zhang Weimeng provided an explanation.
"It's definitely normal now!"
Ren Yisheng looked at Zhang Weimeng, then at Qin Hanwen and the others, and finally had no choice but to make the same judgment.
"Is this a difference caused by the different levels of cultivation techniques?" Ren Yisheng, finding it hard to understand.
"The Realm Technique couldn't possibly cause this problem. You can try it on other people cultivating different Realm Techniques later," Zhang Xuezhou said. "I think this might be slightly related to my father's state of spiritual burning."
"Is your spirit burning?"
"I'll call my mom over in a bit, you can try it on her too!"
Ren Yisheng perceived the possibility of one direction, while Zhang Xuezhou perceived the possibility of another.
This is not the first time Zhang Weimeng has been caught in a dilemma between reality and fantasy; he has been struggling with this for nearly twenty years.
These twenty years of experience have given Zhang Weimeng sufficient discernment, and he regained consciousness quickly after being freed from Ren Yisheng's treatment.
"This is quite important; please communicate with them as soon as possible!"
Wang Haoran's ruptured tendons in his hands and feet require medical attention, and Song Bu'er and Qin Wenhan also need to recover to normal.
Both the former and the latter present medical needs.
It's rare to see a case like Zhang Weimeng's. If we add the corroborating evidence of Song Fengying's need to Realm Entry, Ren Yisheng believes there's a certain probability that Song Bu'er and Qin Wenhan can be reinstated to normal.
"Are you able to perform the Supreme Purity True Technique normally now?"
"Can!"
After confirming Zhang Weimeng's physical condition, Ren Yisheng asked about it again, and Zhang Xuezhou nodded.
As a crucial member of Ren Yisheng's team, Wang Haoran and Ren Yisheng have an extremely close relationship. Even if Wang Haoran loses power, he is still someone Ren Yisheng would never abandon.
Treating Wang Haoran is also a top priority in Ren Yisheng's current medical work.
However, given that Zhang Xuezhou's assistance was required to perform the procedure, Ren Yisheng clearly found it difficult to resolve the issue in a short period of time.
When they were moved to another ward, Zhang Xuezhou saw Wang Haoran looking dejected, and two men who looked to be around forty years old walking back and forth outside the ward.
Professor Ren!
Upon seeing Ren Yisheng arrive, the two bowed in unison and spoke, clearly showing great respect to Ren Yisheng.
"Professor Ren, how long will it take for my father's condition to improve?"
Despite repeated inquiries, and even though Wang Haoran, an expert in internal medicine, already knew the answer, everyone still carried a sliver of hope each day.
"Hao Ran's situation is somewhat complicated. Part of his severed tendon has already undergone tissue culture, so we can only perform surgery quickly to prevent the tendons in his hands and feet from atrophying and becoming even more difficult to recover," Ren Yisheng said. "As for the postoperative recovery, it will require gradual adaptation, and we will make a judgment based on the actual situation."
New tendons cannot be as strong as old tendons, Wang Haoran has a very long process to go through in order to restore the tendons in his hands and feet to their original state.
As people age, this recovery not only requires significant medical resources, but also becomes increasingly difficult.
Ren Yisheng's words were cautious and conservative, but still optimistic, which immediately chilled both of them.
Lacking Wang Jiangtao, the former Lineage patriarch, and Wang Haoran, the backbone of the family, the split Wang family fell directly into the ranks of second-rate Lineage, and their branch even degenerated into a small Lineage.
From its stable position in Western Capital to its current state, it's a world of difference.
But that's the reality. Without Wang Jiangtao, the Supreme Sequence Committee no longer has the Wang family's name, and they find it difficult to reach that level.
Lacking sufficient asset support, they were excluded from having a voice in important industries and were unable to obtain access to relevant research results.
One step down, and you're back again and again.
The two of them couldn't hide their frustration.
"Wei Han, do you think we'll one day fight like Uncle and Dad?"
Upon seeing Ren Yisheng enter with several medical staff in white coats, the older middle-aged man couldn't help but ask a question.
"Brother, we've seen millions and hundreds of millions before. How could we fight over such meager assets? Dad's failing now. Only by sticking together can we barely hold onto these assets. Any conflict will lead to utter ruin!"
"That's right, if we work together, there's still a glimmer of hope!"
"We still need to cultivate a few reliable descendants to help us, after all, they have more opportunities than we do!"
"None of my children are reliable; I'm afraid they won't make it!"
"It used to be difficult to make them suffer, which led to their strong sense of superiority. Now that they've faced setbacks everywhere, they'll surely learn from their mistakes and strive to improve!"
They will feel ashamed, but courage is hard to come by!
If Wang Haoran come to power, the two would inevitably become adversaries due to the division of interests. However, with Wang Haoran losing power, the two would have no choice but to band together to fight the crisis.
The two brothers discussed in hushed tones, their gazes occasionally drifting back to the ward.
In the ward, after a brief consultation, Ren Yisheng's medical team began preparing for the surgery.
"Not even wearing sterile gloves?"
There was no question about Ren Yisheng being the surgeon. Even though Ren Yisheng was a psychology professor, the other party was a top-notch medical expert in the field twenty years ago, whose skill level surpassed that of many specialists.
But when the two brothers looked at the assistant beside Ren Yisheng, they couldn't help but gasp.
As they watched the other person roll up their sleeves and place their palm over Wang Haoran's wound, the two felt that the surgery was rather crude.
