After watching the Toyota Century Royal leave, Kohei Koizumi turned to look at Asaka Ochi. When he saw the longing that flashed across her eyes, he suddenly felt a knife stabbing into his heart before he squeezed out a smile. “Have you already made your choice?”

Asaka Ochi had an apparent change over the night. The foundation she wore couldn’t conceal the rosy luster. Furthermore, she gently swayed like the wind when she walked, permeating a sweet fragrance, enveloped by an enchanting and mature aura.

Looking at her, Kohei Koizumi inwardly lamented. Indeed, women needed to be nourished by men to become even more enchanting. She was currently more enchanting than usual.

“What choice?” Asaka Ochi asked with guilt as she looked at Kohei Koizumi’s bright pupils.

“The person who will protect you on my behalf after my death.” Kohei Koizumi gave a self-mocking smile and continued, “I thought that our hearts were linked, but evidently, I can’t figure out your thoughts on this matter.”

Asaka Ochi fell into a brief silence before she raised her head and asked with rage in her tone, “Why did you do that? Not only are you humiliating me, but you’re also humiliating yourself!”

“Please forgive my selfishness. I do not want to owe you too much, or I won’t go in peace. Since you have already made your choice, I will get the lawyer to deal with the assets. I will assign 80% of my assets in an investment manner to help Su Tao in setting up the medicine factory, and you will possess the authority to manage this sum of money. Uto and the rest might be outrageous, but they’re still my flesh and blood. I will set up a fund with the remaining 20%. If their lives go downhill, they could live off the fund.” Kohei Koizumi said in a solemn voice.

Asaka Ochi inwardly sighed. Kohei Koizumi had meticulous thoughts. He’s a sentimental man, and this was the reason why she’s so deeply in love with him.

“I respect your decision. Don’t worry about it, since I’m your wife and that means that I’m their step-mother. If they’re truly at the bottom of their lives, I will definitely help them.” Asaka Ochi gave out a solemn promise.

Kohei Koizumi gently placed his hand on Asaka Ochi’s hand before he swiftly took it back. “Once everything is done, I will finally be free from all worries.”

Looking at Kohei Koizumi standing with his back straight yet looking fragile, Asaka Ochi suddenly felt distressed. She had no idea how to evaluate her own thoughts right now. It was as if she had crossed a mountain and saw a majestic scene, while Kohei Koizumi remained at the mountain with a smile as he gave his blessing to her.

Under Su Tao’s request, Ni Jingqiu also followed Su Tao to the Seto Clan.

The advisor of the Seto Clan did not say anything about it since he had clearly investigated Ni Jingqiu. Even if the status of the Seto Clan has already declined, it’s still the most prestigious clan in Japan. Hence, it didn’t take much effort to investigate two foreigners.

The reason why they invited Su Tao over was to treat Shinin. But by the time Shinin’s condition had stabilised, it was getting late when they managed to find Su Tao. So out of respect, they delayed the matter to the next morning.

Su Tao was in a pretty good mood. Judging from the receiving standard, they used a Toyota Century Royal, which meant that the other party wasn't arrogant and bossy.

After all, the Seto Clan has already investigated Su Tao, and just his status as a National Healer from China was worthy of their respect.

As the vehicle drove into a building with grey tiles and white walls, a maid immediately came over the moment Su Tao got out and pointed at the house.

“The mistress of the Seto Clan has been waiting. Please follow her in to see Shinin.” The advisor of the Seto Clan said in Mandarin.

They would be going into the inner palace of the Seto Clan, and without any approval, the advisors of the Seto Clan weren’t allowed to enter and leave as they pleased.

Su Tao and Ni Jingqiu were led by the maid into the construct. Looking at the simple and unadorned designs on the outside and the luxurious decorations inside, it looked dignified and solemn, which would draw out the respect of others for this clan in Japan.

Although Su Tao did not have any favourable opinion of Japan and he even had a certain degree of hatred for the aristocratic clans, he did not reveal it, but remained calm and composed.

When they arrived at a house that seemed to be built a long time ago, they saw a middle-aged man walking out with a smile as he spoke a bunch of Japanese.

“He’s the Imperial Physician of the Seto Clan, and his name is Toshi Amano. He’s an orthopaedic doctor, and he admires the technique you used to treat Shinin. Due to the fact that there was a mistake in the hospital, the planks were removed from Shinin’s foot. Hence, he hoped that you could perform the Planks Fixing Technique once more, and at the same time, he also hoped that you could teach him such a brilliant medical art.”

“Tell him that I can treat their young master, but I can’t teach him.” Su Tao smiled as he said to Ni Jingqiu.

When Toshi Amano saw Su Tao’s smile, he misunderstood, thinking that Su Tao had agreed to his request. But after hearing Ni Jingqiu’s translation, he was briefly stunned and instantly fell into silence. His impression of Su Tao was significantly reduced since he felt that Su Tao was arrogant.

But the utmost importance right now was to treat Shinin. Even if Su Tao wasn’t willing to teach, he could still retrieve the surveillance camera footage to study it. He believed that he could definitely learn it.

Learning from others to make up for their insufficiency, this was a cultural concept in the hearts of Japanese people, and this was also the reason why they could swiftly build up their country despite the fact that they had lost in the war.

Sitting in the wheelchair, Shinin’s eyes lit up when he saw Su Tao and called out in Japanese, “You’re that big brother from yesterday who helped me!”

Although Su Tao couldn’t understand what he was saying, he could guess that the boy was greeting him. Wearing a smile on his lips, Su Tao pointed at the bed. “Please sit down and let me dress your wounds again.”

Under the translation, Shinin obediently sat down and Su Tao started examining Shinin’s foot. The medical skills of Japan’s Imperial Physician weren’t bad. Although they did not manage to redo the planks, they managed to prevent Shinin from being injured once more. Otherwise, it would be more troublesome for him to fix.

Su Tao swept his gaze in the room and saw a surveillance camera in the ceiling moving along with his movements. He instantly knew that they’re filming how he dressed the injury and linking it up with Toshi Amano’s request, he knew that he couldn’t allow them to learn his technique so easily.

The Planks Fixing Technique wasn’t a secret in the world, but Su Tao’s technique was different since he made use of the Heavenseizing Hands and Bianque Hands. Simply putting it, it’s not an ordinary Planks Fixing Technique.

Ordinary Planks Fixing Techniques had their own flaws, such as the difficulty in modeling. If the planks weren’t fastened to the fractured area, they would lose their purpose and result in displacement in the fracture. On the other hand, if the planks were too tightly fastened, it would cause pressure ulcers and the lack of blood circulation would cause the muscles to wither.

While Su Tao was performing the Planks Fixing Technique, he would consider the pressure on Shinin’s foot. His technique would ensure the recovery of the injury while preventing stress to the muscles. This way, it could allow blood circulation to the foot and avoid any repercussions from the treatment.

Standing before the monitor, Toshi Amano wore a grave expression as he said to the assistant, “Slow down the footage. Let me look at it again!”

As the assistant swiftly tapped on the keyboard to slow down the footage, he bitterly smiled. “His hands were too fast!”

Toshi Amano inwardly sighed. He had some understanding of Su Tao’s identity. He had some friends who were National Healers back in China, and through his investigation, the result was shocking. Su Tao was an absolute genius in the TCM industry.

When Toshi Amano witnessed Su Tao’s brilliant technique, he instantly knew that the evaluation wasn’t fake.

He had once witnessed the Planks Fixing Technique performed by a forty-odd-year-old Chinese Physician, but compared to Su Tao’s technique, the former lacked charm in it.

“It’s done, now pay attention to having light meals for a period of time. At the same time, an appropriate amount of exercise is needed to aid the recovery.” Su Tao carefully gave instructions to the maid.

After the maid recorded Ni Jingqiu’s translation, she left with Shinin.

Toshi Amano walked in and his expression had changed. His tone was sincere as he said, “Your treatment technique is practically godly, and I apologise for my bold request. For such a brilliant medical skill, it naturally cannot be casually taught to others.”

As long as you prove your ability, the Japanese would immediately look at you highly. After all, they respect the strong and despise the weak. It was something engraved in their bones.

After acknowledging Su Tao, Toshi Amano had immediately changed his attitude.

When Su Tao heard Ni Jingqiu’s translation, he smiled. “It’s not that I don’t want to teach you, but I can’t. There’s a difference between western medicine and TCM in orthopaedics. You can learn the appearance of the Planks Fixing Technique, but you won’t be able to learn the essence of it since it has something to do with TCM bone-setting.

“Western medicine emphasises on serene, while TCM emphasises on movement and integrating. Regardless if it’s a closed fracture, old fracture, or open fracture, western medicine would use surgery to clean up, restore, fix it with metal, stitches, cast, and finally, remove the metal once the bone has recovered.

“On the other hand, TCM does not need any x-ray or surgery. We utilise a massage-style technique to reset the bone. After it’s done, there won’t be any pain from the injury, and once the reset is done, we’ll use planks to fasten it before using medicine to allow the fracture to heal faster.”

Hearing Su Tao’s explanation, Toshi Amano suddenly gained in insight as he sighed. It turned out that he couldn’t learn Su Tao’s technique.

The prerequisite in the Planks Fixing Technique was to learn bone-setting, but who would dare to massage a bone injury for any royal members here?

With his years of experience, he couldn’t do that, so that meant that there’s no meaning in him learning it.
