There are also boils. The smaller ones are as big as a thumb, and the bigger ones are even the size of half a baby’s fist on his neck.

And the boils are all swollen high, a dark purplish-black, some already oozing pus, with the surrounding skin turning blackish purple. They look extremely terrifying!

This clearly means it’s already burrowed deep into the flesh, with even the muscles and bone marrow infected.

Without one to two years, it would be impossible for it to get to this point.

So Xia Liang concluded that this Lemon Essence was lying.

"Come on, it’s only been a month, this is way too ridiculous. Why didn’t you hurry up and get him looked at?"

"It got this bad in just a month? That doesn’t sound very likely, does it?"

"If the environment’s nasty enough, don’t say a month, half a month and it could get this serious!"

"You never took him to a hospital? You just had to wait until Doctor Xia’s livestream to get him seen? If Doctor Xia didn’t go live, were you just going to keep delaying like this?"

"This is way too irresponsible. Luckily you ran into Doctor Xia."

"Hurry up and treat the kid, Doctor Xia. I’m a grown-up and even I feel creeped out looking at this."

Countless viewers in the livestream didn’t know the inside story and hadn’t noticed there was anything wrong with the relationship between Xiao Jun and this Lemon Essence.

They were all worried about Xiao Jun’s condition, so they were calling on Xia Liang in the Danmu Area to quickly treat Xiao Jun.

Looking at the barrage full of worried comments, Xia Liang felt awful inside too.

However, he couldn’t treat Xiao Jun right now.

Because even if he cured Xiao Jun now, in the hands of someone like Lemon Essence, Xiao Jun still wouldn’t end up well, still wouldn’t escape his cage, still would be under control.

So what Xia Liang wanted was to save Xiao Jun at the root, not just patch up the injuries on his body.

Although he still didn’t know what exactly the relationship between Xiao Jun and this Lemon Essence was, his instincts told him there was something very wrong here.

He even couldn’t quite understand why this Lemon Essence was so confident.

He had just, on this very livestream, personally sent a criminal off to "the orange," so why would she still dare to come into his livestream and look for him to treat someone?

Did she have that much faith in her acting skills?

Yes, Lemon Essence’s acting had indeed fooled a lot of netizens, and even at the beginning, she’d fooled him too.

But did she really think he couldn’t see through her? Even the tightest net has a hole!

She never imagined that Xiao Jun’s eyes would tell him that something was wrong with all this!

Xia Liang was also uncomfortable inside. Why did smart kids like Xiao Yu and Xiao Jun have to suffer this kind of torment?

Thinking of this, Xia Liang once again sent a private message to Chen Ran in the backend.

Baoya Platform Supervisory Department.

Chen Ran had just picked up her coffee and taken a sip to perk herself up. Though she was exhausted, she was in a very good mood.

Because under Xia Liang’s prescription, her own illness had already started to improve. She could clearly feel the obvious positive changes in her body.

And just now she had also assisted Xia Liang in helping the police arrest a vicious criminal.

Even though Baoya as a platform didn’t get any direct benefit, the indirect benefits were unimaginable.

Because this all happened on the Baoya platform.

And there were so many viewers watching the livestream.

This indirectly made netizens start to trust Baoya and feel good about it, thinking it was a platform brimming with positive energy.

By word of mouth, more and more people would become potential users of Baoya in the future. This was an immeasurable kind of reputational gain!

Just then, she suddenly noticed a new private message in the backend. She clicked it open and saw that it was actually from Xia Liang.

"Could something have happened again?"

Chen Ran’s heart skipped. She understood that Xia Liang would never message her for no reason; the last private message was to ask her to assist him in sending that criminal off to "the orange."

So what would this one be about?

Did he discover another criminal? It couldn’t be that much of a coincidence, right?

Finding criminals twice in a row?

That would be a bit over the top.

Xia Liang’s livestream was supposed to be about treating and saving people, not a place for catching criminals.

This subconsciously made Chen Ran think of a certain celebrity’s concerts: every time he held one, the police would discover several criminals at the venue and arrest them.

"Kind of absurd."

Chen Ran gave a self-mocking laugh, but when she opened the private message, she froze.

She even nearly burst out swearing!

"Holy crap, it really can’t be this coincidental, can it? That Lemon Essence has a problem too?"

Chen Ran stared, jaw dropping in shock, finding it a bit unbelievable, but she trusted Xia Liang’s judgment!

Xia Liang was no ordinary person, so Chen Ran chose to believe him!

She didn’t dare hesitate, her ten fingers flying quickly over the keyboard, and then she hit send, sending the information to Xia Liang.

After sending it, Chen Ran couldn’t help but let out a breath of relief!

Now it was up to Xia Liang.

"Sister Tao, has another major target popped up?"

"Another criminal showed up?"

"Damn, is tonight really this exciting?"

"Doctor Xia’s eyes are even sharper than a viper’s!"

The group of subordinates around Chen Ran all cried out in surprise. Just now, they had witnessed the entire process of Chen Ran helping Xia Liang trace Xiao Yu’s adoptive father’s IP address, and they’d also watched the whole police arrest operation.

In their hearts, they truly admired Xia Liang to the point of prostration.

This man could not only treat and save people, he was also a master at tracking down criminals!

Those eyes of his were like they could precisely lock onto evil hiding in broad daylight!

"Mm."

Chen Ran nodded noncommittally.

She hadn’t planned to deny something like this, because everyone would know the result soon enough anyway, and letting her subordinates recognize how formidable Xia Liang was would also help Xia Liang.

She couldn’t stay in the Supervisory Department every day. As Baoya’s vice president, she had a lot of work, and most of her time was spent traveling on business.

So she couldn’t possibly be present in Xia Liang’s livestream every time he went live.

If Xia Liang ran into something later and needed help from Baoya, these subordinates could then take it seriously and provide him with the necessary support in her stead.

Of course, if Chen Ran didn’t make them genuinely respect Xia Liang from the bottom of their hearts, then if he asked for anything later, they wouldn’t necessarily take it seriously.

"Damn, Doctor Xia is too awesome. He’s doing the job of us Baoya supervisors for us."

"He’s way more useful than us. We don’t have Doctor Xia’s fiery golden eyes!"

"That’s for sure! He’s incredible."

"Doctor Xia is forever the god. I really admire him."

"Interesting. Tonight’s online clinic has straight-up turned into a live criminal bust, haha."
