Chapter 3: The Shop Owner’s Words Were True!

Yes, it can be saved!

When he heard these words, Zhang Youwei could not help but tremble.

He had prayed that he could hear these two words from Dr. Zhou’s mouth, but he did not hear them.

Now, he, who had been sentenced to death, finally heard it from the young shop owner’s mouth. He could be saved!

He suppressed his excitement and placed his hands on the counter, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Finally, Zhang Youwei asked the most curious question in his heart, “Sir, how can my life be saved?”

Luo Xiu was still reading the book in his hand and did not answer. Zhang Youwei seemed to have accepted the wait and stood there patiently.

Only after Luo Xiu flipped through a few pages and finally closed the book. Zhang Youwei added,”As long as you can save my life, you can have anything you want.”

Zhang Youwei was a brilliant entrepreneur. Even without considering his fixed assets, he had more than ten billion in cash at his disposal. To him, money was just a number.

If he could survive, he would definitely be willing to spend 300 million to buy a book.

Moreover, he could still earn money, but he only had one life! As long as there was a glimmer of hope, any possibility at all, he would want to grasp it!

However, the mysterious words that he had imagined did not appear, nor did the medicine or anything else appear.

Luo Xiu just opened the drawer and casually pulled out a book. He placed it on the counter and gently pushed it toward Zhang Youwei.

Zhang Youwei was slightly stunned when he saw the book. This book was the same as the [Prajna Divine technique] that he was holding. It had a plain blue cover.

Other than the title [The Basics of Spiritual Energy Circulation], there was nothing else on it.

What did The Basics of Spiritual Energy Circulation mean?

Before he could react, Luo Xiu spoke again, “Cultivate according to this book, and you will see the effect within a week.”

Instantly, Zhang Youwei’s pupils contracted. Only a week, and the effect would be seen?! Wasn’t this a fantasy?

Zhang Youwei tried his best to calm himself down and re-examined Luo Xiu.

Which of the things that he had just experienced was not a fantasy? He had experienced so many fantastical things. Is this really that unbelievable?

Finally, Zhang Youwei made up his mind. He picked up the book that was not well-made and said solemnly, “Boss, I’ll buy this book. How much is it?”

Luo Xiu picked up the book that he had just read halfway and said very calmly,

“That would be three million yuan. Thank you.” After saying that, he stopped looking at Zhang Youwei, seemingly telling him, ‘Take it or leave it.’

This time, Zhang Youwei did not hesitate. He took out a check from his suit and quickly wrote down the number. After filling in the name, date, and other items, he tore it down and placed the check on the table. Then, just like Luo Xiu did, he gently pushed the check toward Luo Xiu.

After that, Zhang Youwei bowed as if he was ready to leave.

However, Luo Xiu did not even look at the check and only reminded Zhang Youwei softly, “[The Little Prince] would be forty yuan. Thank you.”

Zhang Youwei was slightly stunned. He did not intend to take advantage of the shop owner. He also did not need to take advantage of this forty yuan. However, in light of the three million yuan deal, he did not expect this young shop owner to still remember the forty yuan.

Well, business was business. Since Zhang Youwei wanted to buy these two books, it was only right for him to pay in full.

He took out a hundred yuan note and placed it on top of the check. His eyes stared at the calm young shop owner and said solemnly, “If it works, I, Zhang Youwei, will definitely pay you a visit and thank you!”

After saying that, he took the two books and turned to leave.

There was still the second half of his sentence that he did not say out loud, which was, if Luo Xiu lied to him, he would definitely not let Luo Xiu off!

Zhang Youwei could afford the three million yuan. Compared to his own life, the money was nothing. But that didn’t mean that he was willing to be cheated!

A book that could cure his terminal illness? Zhang Youwei still did not dare to believe it completely. He just wanted to give it a try with a glimmer of hope. That was all.

However, if the book didn’t work… Zhang Youwei narrowed his eyes. He had ten thousand ways to make this young shop owner pay a heavy price!

After leaving the bookstore, Zhang Youwei returned to the car under the escort of the driver, Xiao Li.

“Go to Dekang Central Hospital and make an appointment for me with Dr. Zhou.”

“Yes, Director Zhang.”

The rain had stopped, and the sky was slightly sunny.

Zhang Youwei looked at the signboard hanging on the bookstore calmly through the window.

[Avenue Bookstore]

The car wheels ran over the road and left in a hurry. The street returned to its calm state, as if no one had come.

Only a shallow layer of water on the ground proved the drizzle that had just fallen.

…

On the top floor of Dekang Central Hospital.

In the white-themed and well-decorated reception room, Dr. Zhou looked at the scan that Zhang Youwei had just taken. His face was full of solemnity.

Zhang Youwei looked at Dr. Zhou calmly, waiting for Dr. Zhou’s diagnosis.

Soon, Dr. Zhou sighed and put down the scan in his hand. After mulling over his words, he said, “Mr. Zhang, you should have accepted my suggestion for advice last month. If you had cooperated with the treatment at that time, you could have lived for at least a year. Now, the disease has completely worsened.”

In Dr. Zhou’s expectation, Zhang Youwei should have immediately fallen into panic, regret, and fear.

However, none of these happened.

Zhang Youwei just nodded calmly and then asked, “How much longer do I have?”

This was the main reason he came to the hospital for a follow-up check. When he was diagnosed with a terminal illness last month, the doctor clearly said that he could live for half a year. However, Luo Xiu told him he only had a month.

There was a reason why Zhang Youwei became successful. He was willing to try every possibility, no matter how small the chance was.

However, he would not completely trust a stranger for no reason. He had to confirm what the young shop owner said was true. Whether he really did only have a month to live!

After hesitating for a moment, Dr. Zhou gave a vague estimate, “The cancer cells have gradually spread throughout the body. There is no medicine to treat it. A conservative estimate is about a month, at most a month and a half.”

Hearing this, Zhang Youwei’s heart tightened slightly. But it was not because he was worried that death was coming, but because the estimate was very close to what the bookstore owner had said.

He only had one month left to live!

After getting this answer, Zhang Youwei nodded, took the diagnosis letter, and got up, preparing to leave the reception room. He was so calm that it was as if someone else had a terminal illness!

Dr. Zhou quickly stood up and tried to persuade him, “Mr. Zhang, I hope that you can take our advice. If you are willing to cooperate with the treatment and use the most advanced equipment, you can live for at least three months.”

Zhang Youwei’s footsteps paused. He slowly turned his head and looked at Dr. Zhou calmly, “What difference does it make if I live for another month or two?”

Dr. Zhou opened his mouth but didn’t say anything. He had seen many people who said they would give up on treatment, but most of them were people who could not afford it.

How could a successful entrepreneur like Zhang Youwei not hesitate at all? He didn’t understand.

However, Dr. Zhou didn’t know that Zhang Youwei refused treatment last month so he could leave a bit more money for his family.

This time, Zhang Youwei refused treatment in order to cure his illness completely.

He would be practicing [The Basics of Spiritual Energy Circulation]!

This was the last life-saving straw in Zhang Youwei’s hands. He had no other choice!
