But for a woman, amputation was too cruel. They had persisted all the way until now in order to get someone to help with the treatment, but his wife's time was running out. Her dead legs started threatening other parts of her body, and the amputation would happen in a few days.
If even Zhong Wentao couldn't do anything, even if her wife managed to come back to life by amputating her limbs, she would find all sorts of ways to commit suicide.
"I guessed."
Zhong Wentao did not lie.
To someone who cared so much about his legs, the most likely answer would be that he was a woman and also an important friend to Dai Liren.
To be able to sit in the position of the mayor, he must be ruthless. Dai Liren didn't seem to be anxious about his friends, it could only be his family.
Dai Liren had told him all of this himself, and he did not specially send people to investigate.
"You're really smart."
With a bitter smile, Dai Liren finally admitted to it.
"Because I'm a woman, that's why I refused."
Zhong Wentao explained: "A woman's endurance is weaker than a man's, if not she wouldn't have disagreed to amputate all this while, just that she couldn't endure the pressure in her heart. If I treat her, it will bring her a lot of pain, and she might not be able to endure it.
"This …"
Dai Liren was a little speechless, he could not immediately promise that his wife would cooperate with the treatment, he could not guarantee this.
The two of them remained silent. Zhong Wentao took a sip of his coffee and remained silent, waiting for Dai Liren's decision.
He said out all possibilities and let Dai Liren make his own decision.
"I'll bring you to see her. Tell her these words yourself. Let her make her choice."
As Dai Liren said this, his entire body bent down a little as he was tormented by this reality.
Nodding his head, Zhong Wentao also felt that this was for the best.
In the Xishan sanatorium, Dai Liren's wife was recuperating here.
Pushing open the door of the ward, there was a very strong stench the moment he entered. Zhong Wentao frowned, he did not dare to cover his nose and mouth in front of the female patient, as it would cause her severe psychological trauma.
His calm expression made Dai Liren even more comforted. He had invited quite a few doctors, and they all hated the smell the moment they entered the door. In the end, his wife had gotten angry and kept throwing tantrums.
"Who is this?" Is he also a doctor? "
Dai Liren's wife, Chun Ling, asked fiercely. He hated all doctors deeply, just because these doctors wanted to amputate her legs. She was resentful.
"Hello, sister-in-law. I'm a friend of the mayor's elder brother. I came to see you with him."
Zhong Wentao laughed and said, but did not reveal his identity.
Chun Ling loosened up a bit and sized Zhong Wentao up. He was so young and his appearance was a little sloppy, so he really didn't seem like a doctor.
Her mental state was stretched too tightly, and the result was that she was very tired. After speaking just a few words, Chun Ling had already fallen asleep.
Zhong Wentao quickly arrived at Chun Ling's side and took out the white porcelain bottle, circling it around Chun Ling's nose a few times to make it easier for the gas in the bottle to enter Chun Ling's body.
"What are you doing!"
Dai Liren was very nervous.
"This is Spirit Calming Incense. It can let her sleep for an hour and it's good for her body. Didn't you tell me to come and treat her?" She's awake. How can I see a doctor? "
"You're right …"
Dai Liren clenched his teeth, he retreated to the side and did not dare disturb Zhong Wentao, but his eyes kept staring at Zhong Wentao's movements, as long as there was anything wrong, he would immediately order them to stop.
Zhong Wentao also did not mind, and just let him keep watching.
Lifting up the white blanket, the stench from below became stronger. His legs not only shrivelled, but also started to fester, from his toes to his thighs, and even had the intention of continuing to fester.
Nodding, Zhong Wentao roughly understood her situation.
This was also why the doctor wanted Chun Ling to amputate her limbs. If this carried on, her good skin would also rot, and Chun Ling would not be able to save herself then.
The western medicine did not lie, but Chun Ling could not accept it.
"How is it?"
Dai Liren asked anxiously.
"Very bad."
Zhong Wentao told his the truth, "The area where she's festering is too big, I am not confident. Furthermore, her body is very weak, and the treatment might cause his middle finger to be unable to keep up with her body's functions.
This was the worst possibility, Dai Liren had to be prepared.
"What would you do if you did?"
Clenching his teeth, Dai Liren asked.
First, I'll treat her festering flesh, then I'll stimulate her acupoints with silver needles and reopen her meridians. By then, even if she still can't get off the bed, at least her legs are still intact.
"Really?"
Dai Liren was pleasantly surprised, at least, this was something that the doctors couldn't promise him before. Zhong Wentao had given him a lot of hope.
As long as they didn't amputate, everything was fine!
Since Dai Liren agreed, he borrowed some simple tools from the hospital. Due to the face of the Mayor, even if the hospital was unwilling in the beginning, there was nothing they could do. They could only force the Mayor to prepare the tools to see a patient who left the treatment room in a sanatorium.
There were a lot of dead meat on her legs, and it was filled with an unpleasant smell. These dead meat should have been cut a long time ago, but Chun Ling felt that these doctors wanted to amputate her limbs, and did not allow anyone to approach her.
Dai Liren doted on his wife dearly and would rather let Chun Ling bear the pain. Only then would he have to follow Chun Ling's instructions, in order to cause such serious consequences.
After an hour, Zhong Wentao did nothing but cut off the meat. This made Dai Liren's heart ache.
After dealing with the meat, Cheng Yang also sent the Gold Sore Medicine over at this time, sprinkling it onto Chun Ling's legs. Watching the wound slowly heal, the doctors felt that it was extremely mystical.
After doing all this, Zhong Wentao was already extremely tired. This was just the first stage, so it could be considered a good start.
Seeing Chun Ling's body move, this was a sign that he was about to wake up, so he quickly told the doctor to take his things and leave. Cheng Yang also ran outside, leaving the two of them there to accompany him as if nothing had happened.
A few minutes later, Chun Ling indeed woke up. She looked at them blankly, not knowing what had happened.
"You were too tired to sleep."
Dai Liren laughed and said, as he touched Chun Ling's hair, her acting skills were top-notch.
Zhong Wentao lamented in his heart. As expected of the Mayor.
Chun Ling looked around him in a daze. She felt that something was different, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
"I feel much more comfortable now. Do I not need to amputate any limbs anymore?"
Pulling Dai Liren's hand, Chun Ling asked with a smile.
"Then no amputations."
Dai Liren laughed and said, which made Chun Ling feel at ease.
Not in the mood to see the couple show their love, Zhong Wentao found an excuse to leave. He still had to go back to concoct the medicine for Chun Ling, and he had to use some Chinese medicine to hang his body, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to last until the treatment ends.
At the bottom of the sanatorium, Cheng Yang drove Dongfang Yuan over.
After Dongfang Yuan came over, the car became their means of transportation, since Dongfang Yuan and him were together everyday, and since she did not have time to drive, he was directly expropriated by Zhong Wentao, who generously nodded her head, saying that it was equivalent to paying the rent and the meal fees in Ciji Hall.
In the car, Cheng Yang asked curiously: "The person up there is the mayor's wife? It's not like she's an absolute beauty. "
"No matter how beautiful a woman in her thirties is, it's impossible to see her."
Zhong Wentao said helplessly, Cheng Yang was too dishonest.
"There's news for you."
Cheng Yang was extremely mysterious.
"What news?"
"In a few days, a spice tycoon will come to the Yan Jing and return from overseas. It is said that he will stay and take root here, and in the future, he will develop his spice business in the Yan Jing."
"Could it be that you suspect that he has something to do with Qin Haitang's death?"
Zhong Wentao asked seriously.
"It's not a suspicion, it's a certainty!"
Cheng Yang was very firm.
Without waiting for Zhong Wentao to ask, he quickly said it out, "There is an item on that man's neck that is identical to the spice necklace on your hands. I do not believe it to be a coincidence, this must be a couple's necklace, Qin Haitang waited for so many years and it must be him!"
"Really?"
Zhong Wentao took a deep breath, he also didn't expect that there would actually be such a news.
Even if Qin Haitang was not killed by the man, she was closely related to him.
The fragrance of the dead time would not lie, this man had gone to the Begonia Pearl before, and they had not met each other before when Qin Haitang had died.
"What kind of store is that person going to open?"
Zhong Wentao continued to ask.
"Fragrance Shop, the biggest spice shop in Yan Jing. We will be able to go over to watch the show in a few days."
Clutching his mouth, Cheng Yang laughed happily.
Zhong Wentao nodded, and did not reject.
He also wanted to see what kind of person the man who Qin Haitang couldn't forget was. If it really was this man who killed Qin Haitang, then he definitely had a way to make this person confess her crimes.
His eyes dimmed for a moment, and he thought of Qin Mingzhu.
It was said that Qin Mingzhu had already left the Pine City in her car and disappeared. Before she left, he was a high-ranked prostitute in the red light district.
"We should go."
Looking around, Cheng Yang reminded them.
He quickly withdrew his thoughts, fastened his seat belt and left with Cheng Yang.
In the next few days, he regularly went to the Xishan sanatorium to treat Chun Ling. Each time he had Dai Liren beside him, he used the Calm Incense to make Chun Ling fall into a deep sleep.
The treatment that lasted two hours a day also stimulated Chun Ling's body greatly. People who were weak in the first place became even weaker after the treatment.
Dai Liren's face was filled with unease, and even began to have some doubts about Zhong Wentao. Zhong Wentao had felt all these, but he did not care.
"You still want to give her another shot?"
Seeing Zhong Wentao taking out the silver needles, Dai Liren's entire body shivered, his whole body filled with pain.
"You asked me to treat him."
Zhong Wentao was a little helpless.
Without waiting for Dai Liren to say more, he stabbed the needle into Chun Ling's body.
