Merchant and doctor

Chapter 2457 The Linghu Clan Case
After a few rounds, Manager Ma gave in.

The young female nurse relative pulled out a set of very professional interior design drafts from somewhere and handed them to Bian Mu.

Bian Mu curiously flipped through it. It was a professional-grade blueprint, the kind you can't buy on the street. It had numbers printed in the four corners, a combination of English, Roman numerals, and Arabic numerals. It was clearly not some ordinary technician's hobby at home.

The living room, master bedroom, second bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, front and back balconies, terrace... almost every corner was covered. After looking at one, Bian Mu handed another to Qi Yuewei. The two of them found it more and more amazing as they looked at it.

The Ma family is truly extraordinary!
"Could you please ask Manager Ma for his opinion? We'd like to test the sound effects. Could you authorize us to use the remote control or something?" Bian Mu said calmly.

"Okay! Right away!" With that, the nurse hurried up to the bedroom to inquire.

Soon, the remote controls arrived—one large and two small ones! And they were those remote control modules!
Strangely enough, Bian Mu held the large remote control in his right hand, pressed the power button with his thumb, and turned it on! He held the other two small remote controls in his left hand and turned on the power switch as well. The two ladies watched as Bian Mu got up, walked to the wall, and strolled around the living room.

There were several pots of evergreen plants in the corner. Bian Mu found a foot switch next to one of the large flower pots, stepped on it a few times, and found that it was very sensitive and that the corresponding device was turned on normally. Only then did Bian Mu return to the general center of the living room.

Like a gentle breeze, the exquisite light music, as unnoticed as the fragrance of flowers, quietly entered my ears...

The three-dimensional effect is subtle yet crystal clear, captivating the viewer's soul. Wow! Top-notch!
Qi Yuewei had been pampered since childhood, and this was the first time she had ever experienced such a magical and moving rhythm. She often listened to top-level concerts, but such a touching and immersive experience was truly a first for her!
The young nurse was clearly seeing this for the first time; her beautiful eyes widened in astonishment, and she instinctively clasped her hands together in surprise.

With a gentle tap of her left hand on the playlist, Bian Mu switched to a deep and melodious overseas classic.

The words were so poignant and heart-wrenching that the two ladies almost forgot where they were!

Stop it abruptly!

Bian Mu turned off the special audio device.

"Please tell Manager Ma inside that this kind of audio equipment can no longer be used. If he agrees, I will have to cut off the main power supply."

"Shut it down, shut it down! My uncle has no objection."

With a smile, Bian Mu walked to the coffee table and lowered his head to study the design drafts again.

Then, Bian Mu located the main power supply and cut off the power.

"That's all for today! Manager Ma needs to stay in the hospital for a while; this place is no longer suitable for his long-term stay. As for where to handle the hospitalization procedures, you can discuss it with your aunt when she gets back. Of course, if they don't trust me, that's fine with them! If your aunt asks, just say that the couple needs to provide an informed consent form for the use of special medical equipment. We've agreed on it, signed it, and had it notarized. I'll ask a friend to make a bracelet for Manager Ma—the kind with a chip, one for male and one for female. They'll have to pay for all the expenses themselves!"

"Understood, I will pass it on to my aunt. Thank you both so much for your help today."

"No need to be so polite! We're not strangers, so we'll take our leave now." After saying that, Qi Yuewei politely gave the nurse a few instructions and accompanied Bian Mu out of Manager Ma's house.

……

As they approached the intersection where they were about to part ways, Bian Mu parked his car on the side of the road, got out, walked quickly for a short distance, opened the car door, and sat in the passenger seat of Qi Jia's sedan.

"Does that mean he's really sick?!" "He's quite ill! If this continues, he might go crazy!"

"What?! It's that serious?! Then... you can really cure it?"

"It's easy to cure! Adjusting the magnetic field around his body will solve half the problem. However, we need to use laxatives to unload more than half of those rather evil lesions in his body. You saw it yourself; in his current state, he might die after the laxatives are used up."

"What should we do then?!"

"It depends on how much you've helped," Bian Mu said with a slight smile.

"We? What do you mean?!"

"Doesn't President Cao have a 'sound therapy center'? We've been there several times. The pitch there is always pretty good. If it weren't for Cao Yueyue's greed, the atmosphere would be even better. If your family really wants Manager Ma to recover, you should talk to Cao Yueyue. To be honest, Manager Ma can only get the appropriate 'sound therapy' there because of you. You heard it just now, their sense of music is so weird! Every sound is soul-stirring, isn't that just asking for trouble!"

"Well... I'll ask my dad later. So tell me, what kind of strange person is this group admin? Where did he get such a set of design drafts?"

"We can't guess what's going on there. Marginalized groups often have unusual ways of thinking. Anyway, it's none of our business, so let's just ignore it!"

"Hmm! So... when you said he has a long-standing habit of lying, what do you mean?"

"Judging from his pulse... he must have had a rather unfortunate childhood. The trauma... you can feel it intensely just by touching him. It's quite pitiful! Yet, his intellectual capacity is quite good, and his memory is exceptional. Alas! People often gain one thing and lose another. His extraordinary memory is now causing him to fall seriously ill. Since childhood, he has constantly fabricated various lies to achieve his goals. Over time, he has lost the ability to clearly distinguish between truth and falsehood. From this perspective, he is actually quite ill!"

"I see! No wonder... Never mind, you're not interested in our company's affairs anyway! So... can pulse diagnosis really detect whether someone is lying?!"

"Similar records can be traced back to the late Shang and Zhou dynasties. It is said that Ji Dan, the ancestor of human civilization, was the most proficient in this. The specific historical materials are a mix of truth and falsehood, and very few can be found on the market. However, I believe that the core content should be true! I have only come across some texts from the late Tang dynasty that contain explicit written records. For example, during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, there was a powerful regional military governor whose stance was always wavering. I remember his surname was Tian. One year, Emperor Xuanzong intended to take a series of major measures to weaken the potential power of the various regional military governors. It should not be the overt kind, but the latent kind, which could greatly influence the future pattern of the Tang Dynasty. This man surnamed Tian was loyal to the court one moment and colluded with other regional military governors the next, which made Emperor Xuanzong a little unsure. Later, he entrusted a famous traditional Chinese medicine doctor, whose surname was Linghu, but whose given name I cannot remember, to visit the man surnamed Tian under the pretext of visiting him to find out if the man's character was reliable. I guess the main content of the investigation was whether the man surnamed Tian was lying when it came to matters of national righteousness!"

"Is this true?!"

"It should indeed be true. I stumbled upon it by chance in the old books left by Mr. Situ. Later, I checked it out in various places and it was mostly true. I have reproduced the pulse cases recorded in it many times in clinical practice, and the relevant historical materials also match. It doesn't seem to be something made up by bored scholars in later generations."

"and after?"

"Doctor Linghu immediately realized that the warlord surnamed Tian was a fraud, and fearing for his life and fortune, he secretly fled on his way back after the visit."

"Haha...this detail does sound true."

"Of course! The original medical records have actually been passed down. I've heard there are even more detailed versions overseas. If you have the chance in the future, could you take some photos for me and bring them back?"

"Hehe... It's so convenient to go abroad now, and you're not short of money. It won't take much trouble to go out and travel together."

"That's true! Once the new drug is successfully launched, we should definitely go out and see what it's like!"

Afterwards, the two chatted for a while about the general course of treatment for Manager Ma. Bian Mu got out of the car and returned to his own car, driving all the way back to the Wu family's old residence.
