Gene Unlocking: I Evolve Every Day

In the courtyard, a group of people looked horrified.

In a sense, within the "rheumatism family," rheumatism might not be the most terrifying; rheumatoid arthritis is even more severe.

However, both rheumatism and rheumatoid arthritis have one characteristic, which is that they are incurable.

The main reason is that the cause of the disease is unclear, and its pathogenesis is complex.

Indeed, current medicine cannot fully determine the cause of the disease.

It is only speculated that it may be related to genetic factors or allergic reactions caused by streptococcal infection.

Furthermore, the complex pathogenesis is also a significant reason why it cannot be completely cured.

Rheumatism is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease.

It involves multiple factors such as cytokines, genes, and adhesion molecules.

Therefore, there is no special medicine clinically that can completely eliminate these pathological changes, making it difficult to achieve a clinical cure.

Just imagine, if the cause cannot be fully determined, how is it possible to cure it?

Now, what news did Liu Xiuming's son bring back?

The old master's rheumatism has reversed!

This means that the old master's rheumatism really might be, as Divine Doctor Lu said, completely cured in the end!

Everyone knows, if this news gets out, what a huge sensation it will cause.

Without saying elsewhere, at least in the medical community, it will cause a shock akin to a magnitude seven or eight earthquake.

Being able to cure rheumatism means that someone has figured out the cause of rheumatism, involving multiple factors such as cytokines, genes, and adhesion molecules, all of which will have their "mysteries" unlocked!

Human medicine, even biology, will definitely greet a revolutionary breakthrough!

That's why everyone present appeared so shocked.

Especially Dr. Henqi, whose eyes shone intensely, as if eager to rush to the hall and kneel down to beg Lu Li to impart the "special technique" for treating rheumatism.

"The medical skills of Divine Doctor Lu..." Liu Xiuming gasped slightly and said, "are simply too astounding."

Liu Peilin also seemed somewhat incredulous, turning his head to the left and asking, "Brother, when did you know such an extraordinary person as Divine Doctor Lu? How come none of us knew?"

"Yes."

"Xiaolin, how do you know Divine Doctor Lu?"

"Is he a disciple or successor of some master-level Chinese medicine practitioner?"

"Does Divine Doctor Lu need to be anyone's disciple? He himself is a master!"

Everyone, including Liu Peinan, looked at Liu Peinan.

Liu Peinan could only smile wryly and say, "Actually, I don't know Divine Doctor Lu. It was President Peng who introduced him."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately looked towards Peng Erping.

Liu Xiuming even used a respectful term, "President Peng, how did you meet Divine Doctor Lu?"

Peng Erping knew what Liu Xiuming's status was.

In Su City, he was an untouchable presence!

To speak bluntly, if this were ancient times, Peng Erping would have to kowtow upon seeing Liu Xiuming.

Hearing him use a respectful term, he felt flattered instantly.

Peng Erping quickly said, "Liu Shu... um, Mr. Liu, I actually just met Divine Doctor Lu yesterday."

Liu Xiuming frowned, "You dared to bring someone you just met for a day to treat my father?"

Peng Erping jumped in fright, "No, could you let me finish?"

Liu Xiuming surely couldn't really blame Peng Erping.

After all, he still had to respect Divine Doctor Lu.

He nodded, "Go on."

Liu Xiuliang, Liu Peinan, Liu Peilin, and the others were all listening attentively.

Dr. Henqi was the same.

Everyone was eager to know why Peng Erping dared to bring someone he had only known for a day to treat the old master.

Peng Erping carefully said, "I joined a jade stone exchange group called 'World Treasures,' where people often sell antiques. Just the day before yesterday, Divine Doctor Lu posted pictures of antique ceramics he intended to sell in the group. I was quite interested and arranged to meet him yesterday."

Everyone was patient and did not urge him to speed up despite the detailed account.

Peng Erping continued bit by bit, "Since I was busy managing the factory, Divine Doctor Lu brought the antiques to my factory for a trade. After confirming everything was fine, I transferred four million to him. Due to interbank transfers, the fund would take about two hours to arrive, so I invited him to tour the factory. Who could have guessed, just when we arrived at Workshop No. 1, a worker under me got his head hit by a stator. At that time, he was barely breathing. Everyone thought the worker was beyond saving, but Divine Doctor Lu intervened and snatched him back from the jaws of death."

At this point, he straightened his back, "That's why I was sure Divine Doctor Lu must be a master healer, so I invited him to treat the old master."

What?

Someone barely breathing was saved by Divine Doctor Lu?

Everyone was once again greatly astonished.

Even knowing previously that Divine Doctor Lu could cure rheumatism,

everyone had already thought his medical skills were extraordinary.

Who could have imagined he could even snatch people from the clutches of death?

Isn't this truly resurrecting the dead?

At this moment, everyone finally understood the profound depth of Divine Doctor Lu's medical skills, absolutely a realm that shakes the heavens and moves the gods!

Peng Erping was very articulate and never revealed Lu Li's godlike feats or mentioned how he initially refused to come.

Liu Xiuming's eyes moved, querying, "Does Divine Doctor Lu like antiques very much?"

Liu Xiuliang glanced at his children Liu Peinan and Liu Peilin.

It seemed once confirmed, he would have his children prepare some antiques as gifts for Divine Doctor Lu.

Peng Erping honestly stated, "I don't know if Divine Doctor Lu likes antiques, but the reason he agreed to come to treat the old master was not because he knew about your family's status, but for... well, the ten million reward you publicly offered."

Some matters were inappropriate for Liu Xiuming and Liu Xiuliang to speak about, reserved for the younger generation to discuss.

For instance, this current topic.

Liu Peinan took the lead, saying, "Divine Doctor Lu was exhausted to the point of collapse while treating Grandpa. This reward, I will certainly not shortchange him, but do you really not know what he fancies?"

Peng Erping shook his head, "I haven't known Divine Doctor Lu for long and don't know him well. Since yesterday, we've mostly just talked about antiques and briefly about the villas while driving over. He thought the prices were very steep."

Liu Xiuliang seemed thoughtful.

Liu Xiuming was silent for a moment, seemingly having an idea, "Second Brother, stay here. If Divine Doctor Lu has rested well, remember to entertain him well."

"Okay, Big Brother." Liu Xiuliang inquired, "Do you have something to attend to?"

Liu Xiuming gazed deeply and said, "I'll make a call to Beijing to solve some troubles for Divine Doctor Lu."

After speaking, he turned and left.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what trouble such a divine being as Divine Doctor Lu could possibly have that would require someone as influential as Liu Xiuming to personally intervene.

...

The road outside Shanglin Garden.

Xiaolin had already prepared the anesthetic gun and was ready to subdue Lu Li the moment he found an opportunity, and then take him to meet the higher-ups.

Wang Yu watched anxiously from the side, fearing that something might happen to Lu Li.

Suddenly, his phone rang urgently.

Xiaolin checked the number and immediately answered, "Hello, Director..."

Before he could finish speaking, a middle-aged man's resigned voice came from the other end, "Xiaolin, back off."

"Huh?" Xiaolin was stunned, "Back off? What do you mean?"

The middle-aged man said, "I mean, don't do anything to Lu Li. Just keep track of his whereabouts at all times. Don't interfere in anything else, at least not until he does something significantly harmful to society."

Xiaolin was a bit anxious and said, "Didn't you say before that I should bring him in to see you?"

"That's what I initially thought too, believing that if we didn't meet him soon, we might lose control." The middle-aged man sighed, "But things have changed, and we can't proceed anymore, or rather, we can't operate here in Su City anymore."

Xiaolin sensed something unusual and weakly asked, "Did something happen?"

The middle-aged man sighed heavily again, "Old Liu called me just now, saying that Lu Li is under his protection and that I'm not allowed to interfere. You know, with Old Liu's own position here and Elder Liu's influence, I can't argue."

Xiaolin clearly understood the implications.

It roughly meant that Lu Li had found shelter under the Liu Family's large tree.

Or rather, under Elder Liu's towering tree.

Old Liu or the Liu Family.

Xiaolin could disregard them.

But definitely not Elder Liu.

Their influence was simply too significant.

"Alright." Xiaolin also seemed very helpless, "I understand. We'll just track his movements in the future and won't provoke him actively."

The middle-aged man thought for a moment and added, "Find a chance to remove the surveillance and listening devices installed in his house."

Xiaolin said speechlessly, "Director, are you really that afraid of Old Liu?"

"Why should I be afraid of him?" The middle-aged man explained, "I just thought carefully, and Lu Li is quite special, possibly beyond the realm of normal humans. However, except for occasionally getting into fights, he doesn't seem like he'd do harm to society. So, I'm planning to get to know him with a sincere attitude."

Xiaolin fell silent after hearing this.

He truly believed that the higher-ups weren't afraid of Old Liu.

But these words sounded more like they were showing weakness to Lu Li.

Xiaolin said, "Hmm, understood."

The middle-aged man said nothing more.

Click.

The call ended.

Wang Yu quickly asked, "Brother Lin, what did the director say?"

Xiaolin looked at him and recounted the conversation.

Upon hearing it, Wang Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At the same time, he was inwardly shocked, not expecting Lu Li's methods of developing connections to be so formidable, even linking with the Liu Family.

...

Inside the villa, in the living room.

Lu Li had rested for over an hour and finally felt refreshed.

He had long noticed that Xiaolin and Wang Yu were following him and constantly monitoring the two of them.

Previously, his super sense of smell could only extend more than two hundred meters, making it impossible to monitor the activity on the road outside from inside the villa.

But ever since the second deep evolution, not only had his physical attributes significantly improved across the board, but his skills had also become stronger.

Now, when he activated his super sense of smell, he could cover over a thousand meters.

Naturally, Lu Li could monitor Xiaolin's actions from a distance.

"Hmm?" He blinked, "Liu Xiuming solved a long-standing trouble for me."

Although Xiaolin prepared the anesthetic gun, it was nothing to Lu Li.

He could even render them harmless before they fired any anesthetic darts.

How could he possibly be afraid?

However, he still wasn't as powerful as the nationals.

He couldn't confront the formidable power behind Xiaolin yet.

That's why his rented house was installed with various surveillance and listening devices, leaving him with no choice but to endure for now.

It was really inconvenient.

No matter how careful he was, he might still expose certain things.

Now, with Liu Xiuming stepping in to stop it.

In the future, at most, Xiaolin and Wang Yu would only follow him.

His freedom expanded significantly.

Great!

The trouble Liu Xiuming resolved for me is worth more than earning ten million myself.

Lu Li felt very pleased.

By the way.

Speaking of earning ten million.

Lu Li couldn't help but anticipate.

With such a noticeable effect from today's treatment for Elder Liu.

The other party should be fulfilling their promise, right?

Thinking of this, he walked outside, wanting to see if he could collect his reward.
