Chapter 362 — The Leader Has a Plan — Of course, even if such a thing could be mass-produced, Wei Zhao had no intention of mass-producing it, nor of letting the formula leak out; rarity lends value, and only when a thing is treated as a unique treasure will people pursue it with frenzy.

"Mm..." Tang Yun answered softly, and before she could say more, Wei Zhao heard her mother's voice from the other end: "Yun'er, is that Xiaolin? Hurry up and go out and have fun, we don't need you here, I'm here and that's enough. Your dad hasn't had his surgery yet, so he doesn't need you nursing him either!"
Then came Tang Yun's voice, a little embarrassed and a little helpless: "All right, all right, Mom, I know. Don't worry about it — I'll leave in a minute, won't that do..."
"Heh..." Wei Zhao smiled and hung up.
Kang Xiaobo was already helping Xiaofen down, limping step by step. Xiaofen was lame, and it showed plainly when she walked; at home she almost always used a wheelchair, but a wheelchair would obviously not do today.
"I said I'd carry you down on my back, but you wouldn't have it. See? You nearly fell, didn't you?" Seeing Xiaofen stumble and almost go down at the entrance of the building, Kang Xiaobo instinctively caught her...
Xiaofen was dressed stylishly and innocently today: a candy-colored T-shirt, cropped denim pants, her hair carefully styled, light makeup on her face. After this stretch of treatment at the hospital, she had shed her former sickly look entirely.
Add a pair of delicate sunglasses, and she had something of the air of a lovely young girl, not unlike Tang Yun's style — no wonder they were best friends. One could well imagine that the Xiaofen of before had been a girl with no shortage of suitors, in no way inferior to Tang Yun.
But fate's unfairness had made her drop out of school and take sick leave at home; without Kang Xiaobo, Xiaofen would hardly have stepped out of her own door again. Her heart had not yet opened all the way, but she was already much more cheerful than before.
If not for the trouble with her leg, Xiaofen would have been even more radiant.
"Xiaofen, you look lovely today." Wei Zhao offered the praise as reassurance. A girl like Xiaofen was desperately short of self-confidence now, and needed constant encouragement.
"Really...?" Xiaofen lowered her head, pleasantly surprised. "I was afraid Xiaobo would think I was embarrassing..."
"How could I? Taking you out is a credit to me!" Kang Xiaobo said. "With a companion this pretty, how could I be embarrassed?"
"But my leg..." Xiaofen knew Kang Xiaobo was only comforting her; at least where his parents were concerned, he wouldn't dare tell them the truth.
"Don't worry, the Leader says he'll cure you! He has a way!" With that, Kang Xiaobo shot Wei Zhao a look. "Isn't that right, Leader?"
Kang Xiaobo wanted Wei Zhao to comfort Xiaofen a little. Even if he could not cure her leg right now, he hoped Wei Zhao could give her confidence — after all, Xiaofen knew that Wei Zhao understood medicine.
"Xiaobo, don't try to comfort me... The doctors at the hospital all say there's no hope..." Xiaofen sighed, her expression dimming.
"It can be cured, but it needs certain medicinal ingredients, and I have to go home to fetch them," Wei Zhao said. "The trouble with your leg lies in the nerves, not the bone, and that is why the hospital is powerless. The nerves of the human body are a rather delicate and mysterious tissue; if a nerve dies, surgery cannot cure it in many cases. But from the standpoint of Chinese medicine, it is merely that the meridians are blocked and not flowing freely. Once the meridians are opened, you can recover."
