Gorgeous Female Tenants

Chapter 331: Saving the Situation Is Like Putting Out a Fire

Shen Congru’s enthusiasm was unbearable for Xu Xiangbei, and since he came in, he showed no intention of leaving, chatting endlessly, especially talkative.

Shen Congru was handsome and spoke elegantly, and Gu Xinyan had a good impression of him.

Xu Xiangbei was contemplating how to get rid of this clingy neighbor when he received an unknown phone call.

He pressed the answer button: "Hello, who is this?"

It turned out to be Coach Martin’s voice, seemingly anxious: "I am Coach Martin of the Qinghai Team, Dr. Xu, we need your help."

Xu Xiangbei asked nervously: "What happened?"

Coach Martin said: "Lu Daquan is injured, can you get to the stadium in twenty minutes? He can’t play, and we’re now trailing 0 to 1, all our hopes are on Lu Daquan to score as the striker. Without him, the Qinghai Team’s situation is critical."

Xu Xiangbei silently cursed his luck, Lu Daquan had just joined the team, and was even the starting striker, how could he get injured and unable to play?

He estimated that from Zijin Villa District to the stadium, with the speed of his limited-edition Porsche, it would take only ten minutes.

"Getting there within twenty minutes shouldn’t be a problem, how long since the game started?"

Upon hearing that Xu Xiangbei could make it, Coach Martin sounded thrilled: "Just ten minutes into the game, if you can get here, there’s hope for our team, saving the day as if putting out a fire."

"I’ll head over right away."

After promising Coach Martin, Xu Xiangbei smiled and said to Shen Congru: "Young Master Shen, sorry, there’s an issue with the soccer team, someone’s injured, I need to head over immediately."

Only then did Young Master Shen leave Xu Xiangbei’s villa: "Then hurry up and go, I’ll come by to disturb you tonight."

Xu Xiangbei smiled at Gu Xinyan and said: "Dear, I have an urgent matter, you’ll have to stay here temporarily, and I’ll pick you up after I’m done, how about it?"

Gu Xinyan smiled and said: "This place is much more luxurious and convenient than your Spring Villa, with you gone, I can just familiarize myself with the surroundings here."

"If there’s anything urgent, call that girl Ouyang Jiahui."

Xu Xiangbei drove his silver Lightning, like a bright flash of lightning, sped through the traffic, reaching the stadium in just ten minutes.

Coach Martin had someone take Xu Xiangbei to the Qinghai Team’s resting room.

Seeing Xu Xiangbei rush in, Lu Daquan’s gloomy expression brightened significantly: "Brother Xu, you’re here."

Xu Xiangbei noticed that Lu Daquan’s calf was swollen, at least twice its size.

Pressing on the red swollen area of the calf, Xu Xiangbei tentatively asked: "Does it hurt?"

Without asking, Xu Xiangbei knew it must be painful, as he pressed, Lu Daquan broke into a cold sweat on his forehead.

Lu Daquan nodded, gritting his teeth and bearing it.

Xu Xiangbei asked Coach Martin: "How did he get injured?"

Coach Martin said helplessly: "The opponent clearly targeted him, intentionally trying to take him out, deliberately tripping him. I didn’t think they’d pay attention to a new face, but it turns out the Celestial Light Cloud Sea guys are too sharp, they targeted Lu Daquan as soon as he got on the field, knowing he’s the main striker on the field."

"For someone to get kicked like this, the referee didn’t penalize with a red card?"

"The referee’s penalty standard is pretty low, only a yellow card was given. Can you quickly treat his leg and let him play?"

"His calf blood vessels are ruptured, with severe bruising, I can only do my best."

Xu Xiangbei slightly lifted his finger, forming a needle-like shape, with a serious expression, a stream of inner strength surged to his finger, gently pointing at Lu Daquan’s calf.

Lu Daquan felt a stream of scorching heat flow into his calf, greatly reducing the pain.

Xu Xiangbei’s fingers forcefully rubbed the swollen part of his calf.

After a while, Lu Daquan felt heat all over his body, gradually becoming hot-blooded, heart beating faster, as blood rapidly circulated throughout his body.

Especially the injured calf, it went from warm to scorching hot, from scorching to searing, the burning pain spread from his calf to his whole body.

Parched by this intense heat, he couldn’t help but shout: "I need water."

Xu Xiangbei was administering acupuncture, unable to fetch water himself, so he said to a nearby young doctor in a white coat: "Get him a glass of warm water."

The young doctor was the team doctor, specially hired from the First People’s Hospital’s surgery department.

Seeing the redness and heat at Lu Daquan’s calf injury, he looked puzzled: "Dr. Xu, are you using heat therapy to treat his injury? But his calf swelling should be treated with cold compresses to avoid blood vessel rupture, your method could worsen his condition.

Xu Xiangbei glared at the team doctor: "Get him water, don’t worry about anything else."

Seeing that Xu Xiangbei ignored him, the team doctor reluctantly fetched a bottle of mineral water for Lu Daquan, who finished it off in a few gulps.

Xu Xiangbei used the first form of "Reversing Heaven and Earth," infused with the blazing Yang Fire attribute, the intense inner strength melted the calf’s bruising, soon showing visible signs of reducing the swelling.

The young team doctor was amazed, having never seen such a treatment method, nor even heard of it.

Xu Xiangbei coldly said: "His blood vessels are already ruptured but pooled in the calf, your cold compress method is right, but that way, he wouldn’t recover immediately, understand?"

The young team doctor looked convinced, nodding: "Understood, but Dr. Xu’s technique is very unusual, we’ve never seen it in our surgery department."

"This is the massage technique in Chinese medicine, naturally you wouldn’t have seen it in surgery."

As the swelling subsided, the intense heat also gradually dissipated, and when all the heat was gone, the pain in the calf disappeared as well.

Lu Daquan flexed his leg and exclaimed excitedly: "I can move it, it doesn’t hurt anymore."

Xu Xiangbei wiped the sweat off his forehead and smiled at Coach Martin: "Alright, he can go on the field now."

Coach Martin put on a delighted smile: "Great, Lu Daquan, go do warm-up exercises on the field, you’ll be on soon."

Xu Xiangbei followed Coach Martin to the sidelines of the field to watch the game, the score was still 0 to 1, with Qinghai Team trailing by one point.

After watching for a while, Xu Xiangbei noticed a pattern, overall, the Celestial Light Cloud Sea Team was stronger than the Qinghai Team.

Xu Xiangbei took out a cigarette and handed it to Coach Martin, lighting it for him: "The Celestial Light Cloud Sea Team is strong, huh?"

Coach Martin nodded but was very confident: "In terms of overall strength, they are stronger, but we have Lu Daquan and Zhao Liang as double strikers, plus David in midfield, our attacking power is much stronger. With enhanced offense, there’s less pressure on the defense line. You must have heard, the best defense is offense. Lu Daquan is our indispensable sharp edge. With this sharp edge, I believe we can win this match."

With Lu Daquan back on the field, the previously downcast team’s morale was greatly boosted, players one after another high-fived him for encouragement.
