Chapter 586 - Causing another commotion

Translator: Thyaeria

The medical staff also rushed over upon hearing the news. But when they saw Su Tao’s massage technique, they exclaimed out in admiration. For athlete trainers like them, massage was an essential technique for them.

Su Tao’s massage wasn’t typical, but it effectively controlled the swelling, which all the athlete trainers looked at the massage technique in admiration. There’s even one athlete trainer who took out his phone and recorded the entire process.

However, they had no idea that there’s a trick in this massage, which was impossible for them to comprehend.

Typically speaking, Natasha’s injury could be treated by rubbing some medicine, but they’re currently in an emergency situation since Natasha still had upcoming performances. So to prepare Natasha for her next performance, Su Tao could only resort to doing a massage on her since his Heavenseizing Hands could nourish the veins and promote recovery.

“Alright, try and take a few steps!” Su Tao smiled.

“It doesn’t hurt anymore! This is too miraculous!” Natasha rejoiced. For an athlete, performing while injured was a massive taboo since it might worsen the injury and lead to irreversible damages.

At this moment, Natasha was filled with gratitude for Su Tao. She knew that even if she persisted in participating despite her injuries, it’s just futile effort, and after the competition, she might not even be able to stand on her feet.

Su Tao knew Natasha’s current state. She had been putting her body under enormous pressure for this competition, and her injury was a result of that. Hence, he made a mental note to advise Natasha to take a rest and let her body readjust after this competition.

Then again, it was Natasha’s performance that conquered Su Tao.

If Natasha was forced to leave because of her injury, then there would be one less spirited girl here.

After sorting out Natasha’s injury, everyone returned to the spectator’s grandstand. This time, Natasha came to the centre of the stage with a red ball in her hand and the host explained what just happened. When everyone knew that Natasha participated while injured, everyone started cheering for her.

Hence, the stadium exploded once again.

Taking a deep breath, Natasha wore a symbolic smile. The red ball seemed like it had been injected with a soul and started to travel around on her body. Her entire body looked boneless as she made several difficult movements, controlling the ball in her hand to seem like a magician’s weapon.

Seated amongst the audience, Kelov wore an unsightly expression when he personally witnessed how Su Tao treated Natasha. He knew that because of this, Ivanov’s family would once again feel grateful for Su Tao; hence, his heart raged with jealousy and insanity.

“Mr. Stefan, that young man that just treated Natasha is the divine physician that Ivanov previously mentioned. He felt that it was the young man that treated Natasha.” Kelov explained.

Stefan was also paying attention to this matter, which he noticed Su Tao since the latter came with Shui Junzhuo. Shui Junzhuo was a potential partner that’s still in negotiation, so he naturally paid attention to this matter. After all, he never imagined that Ivanov would also invite Shui Junzhuo.

Nodding his head, Stefan asked, “His medical skill seems decent. Doesn’t Natasha’s performance look great?”

“Yeah!” Kelov smiled as he continued, “Mr. Stefan, perhaps you can try and get him to take a look at your condition!”

Hearing the suggestion, Stefan was surprised as he asked, “I thought you didn’t have any good impression about him? Why are you suggesting to let him take a look at me?”

“Your condition is severe, so perhaps you can try another method that might increase your chances of fighting the disease,” Kelov patiently explained.

Shaking his head lightly, Stefan replied, “Thank you for your goodwill!”

However, he did not reveal his thoughts. He would definitely not reveal his condition to the Chinese. After all, what if the Chinese use this to blackmail him?

He didn’t wish to be blackmailed, not even if it’s just a possibility.

Natasha’s performance could be acclaimed as perfect. Shortly after, she successfully finished her performance on the rope, ribbon, and club sections. When the host announced that Natasha obtained championship for the hoop, ball, and ribbon sections, the stage was instantly filled with applause.

As Ivanov and Irina exchanged a glance, their eyes were filled with gratitude.

Natasha was already a world champion, and watching how their daughter stepped out of the lowest point in her life; their hearts were filled with pride once more.

“We really have to thank Physician Su!” Irina’s said as she wiped the tears off the corner of her eyes.

“Yeah. If it wasn’t for him, it wouldn’t be possible for Natasha to step out from the darkness, and we would’ve lost a confident daughter.” Ivanov stood up and brought his wife over to Su Tao.

Being thanked by Ivanov, Su Tao smiled. “Natasha has to rest and readjust her body a little. Here’s a prescription for her to take.”

After that, he handed a prescription, which was already prepared, to Irina.

Irina never expected that Su Tao would be so meticulous and expressed her gratitude once more.

Next would be Russia's national song along with its flag-raising ceremony.

After Natasha received her trophies, she was soon surrounded by reporters interviewing her. In the process, aside from thanking her parents, she also dedicated her gratitude to a Chinese man.

“I have to thank a divine physician from China, especially. He was the one that treated me and brought me out of the lowest point in my life. As you guys may have noticed earlier, he treated me in time, which allowed me to complete the competition. Henceforth, my achievement for this competition is all thanks to him!”

At the same time, it took everyone by surprise for Natasha to take the initiative and mention Su Tao during the interview.

Furthermore, Natasha expressed her feelings from the bottom of her heart, which gave a misleading thought to the reporters that there’s an intimate connection between Natasha and that Chinese man, Su Tao.

Then again, Su Tao had no idea that the entire competition was broadcasted live. Hence, he was instantly known by everyone in Russia, since many people started searching for Su Tao’s name online.

Since Su Tao had official accounts on several international social media platforms, he was instantly the focus of all the youths in Russia.

After all, Natasha was equivalent to an idol in Russia, the dream lover of countless youths.

Meanwhile, Kim Jung-yeon and her fellow admins also noticed a sudden surge in fans coming from Russia.

“It’ll be great if Natasha has a boyfriend like you! In the future, she won’t have to fear injuries anymore!”

“It seems like I have to start learning TCM so that I can protect Natasha.”

“Hey, you! You dare snatch my girlfriend? Watch out and don’t let me see you, or I’ll beat you up!”

“Mhm? Aren’t you that Chinese who was involved in the shooting incident a few days ago? You’re fine already? You don’t seem injured at all!”

“It seems like the relationship between China and Russia isn’t as bad as we thought it would be. Not only did you not hold anything against us, but you’ve also helped our Queen of Gymnastics. Based on this alone, I’ve become your loyal fan!”

Hundreds and thousands of messages appeared on the official account. It was so much so that there were even hackers that warned Su Tao to keep away from Natasha or they would hack all his social media accounts.

Kim Jung-yeon and her fellow admins had no idea what’s going on since many people left their messages in Russian, which they had no idea what those messages meant. But fortunately, an admin recalled that she had a friend who translated Russian and got her help in translating.

Then again, it’s natural for the person in the centre of this mess to have the slowest reaction. Su Tao still had no idea of the influence that this gymnastics competition brought to him as he finally got to meet Stefan with Shui Junzhuo leading him.

“I never expected that I would see you here!” Shui Junzhuo smiled. At this moment, the innocent lady put on a perfect act that even made Su Tao doubt if he truly understood her.

“Yeah, such a coincidence. Ivanov and I have been friends for many years. You’re from China, so it wasn't surprising that you got to know Ivanov, who visits China often.”

Although Stefan greeted Shui Junzhuo, his gaze was fixated on Su Tao the entire time.

“This is the youngest National Healer in my country, Mr. Su Tao!” Shui Junzhuo introduced him with a smile.

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Stefan!” Su Tao stretched his hand out.

However, he did not get his way. Kelov rushed out and held onto Su Tao’s hand with a smile. “Oh, look who this is! We meet again!”

Su Tao had noticed Kelov a long time ago. He initially wanted to shake hands with Stefan to understand the latter’s condition, but he never expected that Kelov would ruin it all.

This fellow is definitely doing this on purpose!

He was disgusted. It seems Kelov still hasn’t figured out the situation well. They had such a huge grudge between them, so how could it be quickly forgotten? Not to mention Kelov even acted like they were friends.

Letting go of Kelov’s hand, Su Tao examined Kelov for a long time before he turned to Shui Junzhuo. “Translate my words for me! For a failure in the medical industry like you, I can’t help but want to beat you up every single time I see you, so don’t put up such a friendly act with me.”

Wearing a weak smile, Shui Junzhuo straightforwardly translated his words.

Hearing the translation from Shui Junzhuo, Kelov’s face boiled red from the anger. He never expected that Su Tao would humiliate him in such a public occasion.

Then again, it was mainly because Kelov didn’t understand Su Tao. Back in China, Su Tao was ruthless to all his enemies, and he wouldn’t change his character just because he has come to Russia. He didn’t care how Ivanov and Irina would see him, and as for Shui Junzhuo, she was well aware of his temper since a long time ago.

As for Stefan, Su Tao also wanted to reveal Kelov’s fake mask before the former.

Looking at Kelov with a complicated gaze for a long time, Stefan had long guessed that there must be hostility between the two of them. Otherwise, Kelov wouldn’t have been slandering Su Tao to him so frequently. Hence, he faintly sighed, “Kelov is my friend, but it seems like there’s hostility between the two of you. Since that’s the case, then I believe that there’s no need for us to continue our greeting.”

After that, he gave Kelov a secret signal before the two of them left.
