Chapter 208: Chapter 208 Treating the Dead

The next morning, Chen Xuan arrived at Medicine King Hospital for work at the usual time.

However, as he approached the office door, he was somewhat startled.

Since it was the first day of the department’s establishment yesterday, there weren’t any patients visiting throughout the day.

But today, there was a long line in front of Chen Xuan’s office; more than twenty patients were already waiting there even though it was just the start of working hours!

"Miracle Doctor Chen! This is Miracle Doctor Chen!"

The patients were thrilled as soon as they saw Chen Xuan arrive.

News of how Chen Xuan had cured Madam Xu’s leg in just a minute had already spread by yesterday, earning him some recognition for his skills.

These patients had all come in search of his reputed treatment.

Chen Xuan was very happy to welcome these new patients; he had come to Medicine King Hospital to utilize his medical skills, amass good deeds, and heal more people.

After putting on his white coat, Chen Xuan began his work.

As soon as the diagnosis started, everyone could sense that Chen Xuan was extraordinary.

The primary approach of other doctors was to order all kinds of tests for the patients, which could easily cost hundreds or thousands, not only expensive but also tiresome and troublesome.

Chen Xuan was different; for nearly every patient, he could determine their condition just by taking their pulse.

Sometimes, he even diagnosed patients before they could describe their symptoms, which left them incredulous.

Without hearing a word from the patients, he could discern their conditions, which made everyone even more convinced of his reputation as a Divine Doctor!

Zhu Kun’s face turned extremely ugly as he watched the number of Chen Xuan’s patients grow.

He took out his phone and dialed a number, "Brother Xiong, how are the arrangements going for the favor I asked of you yesterday?"

"When have I ever botched a job for you? Don’t worry, I’ll make sure that Chen surname fella can’t stay at Medicine King Hospital after today!"

Zhu Kun was overjoyed at the response, "Good, Brother Xiong, then I look forward to your good news!"

The day went by quickly; Chen Xuan had seen over a hundred patients, which he found very fulfilling.

Yet, as it neared the end of the day, a chorus of wailing and shouting came from the corridor outside.

Then, the door to the consultation room was kicked open, and a group of more than ten burly men entered, carrying a stretcher.

They were clad in mourning apparel, and some even played the suona, wailing and making a commotion.

This spectacle indeed startled the patients there.

Chen Xuan’s expression changed, and he did not understand what was happening.

At that moment, a bald, muscular man at the front pointed at Chen Xuan and bellowed, "You’re that Chen Xuan, right?"

Chen Xuan answered calmly, "Yes, I’m Chen Xuan. What do you need from me?"

Before Chen Xuan could react, a middle-aged woman rushed up to him.

"You quack, you murderer, I’m going to fight you to the end!"

As she spoke, the middle-aged woman raised her hand to slap Chen Xuan across the face.

But Chen Xuan was not about to give her that opportunity.

With quick reflexes, he caught the woman’s wrist, and with a slight exertion of force, she knelt on the ground, wincing in pain.

"Everyone, come look! This scoundrel killed my husband and now he’s bullying me, a widow!"

The middle-aged woman began to make a scene.

Chen Xuan furrowed his brow, "Killed someone? Please explain yourself clearly. What exactly happened?"

The bald man was furious, "You say what happened!"

"My brother came here for treatment this morning, and after taking the medicine you prescribed, he died on the spot at noon!"

"You motherfucker, what kind of doctor are you? I think you’re just a murderer!"

The crowd looked towards the stretcher and indeed saw that the person on it was pale as wax, stiff as a board, with no movement in the chest—obviously long dead!

Panic appeared on the patients’ faces instantly.

Most of them had also come here because of the reputation, and were not very clear about the abilities of this Miracle Doctor Chen.

Now, on just the second day that the clinic opened, someone had already been treated to death—this was terrifying!

At once, everyone completely doubted Chen Xuan’s abilities.

Chen Xuan was also taken aback.

He had great confidence in his medical skills; with his current expertise, it was utterly impossible for him to treat someone to death.

Chen Xuan carefully looked over the corpse.

This body was stiff and lifeless; an average person definitely wouldn’t notice anything wrong, but unfortunately for them, Chen Xuan was no average person!

Chen Xuan noticed at a glance that there were actually slight movements in the chest of the corpse.

It’s just that the amplitude of these movements was extremely small, invisible to the naked eye of an ordinary person!

Turtle Breathing Technique!

Chen Xuan realized immediately that these people had come here with the intent to cause trouble!

Right at that moment, Zhu Kun also squeezed in.

Seeing the body on the ground, Zhu Kun’s face revealed a look of shock. "What happened here?"

"Chen Xuan, I’ve said it before; your medical skill is limited. You should practice medicine within your abilities, but you wouldn’t listen."

"Now look what you’ve done, you’ve treated someone to death. How are you going to explain this to the patient’s family?"

Zhu Kun started lecturing Chen Xuan right away with an air of finality.

By now, even if Chen Xuan were a fool, he could see that Zhu Kun must have something to do with this matter.

Not flustered, Chen Xuan turned to the bald strong man and asked, "I wonder how you would like to resolve this?"

The bald strong man snorted coldly, "What do you think? This is a human life! Do you understand that a human life is more valuable than anything else?"

The middle-aged woman stopped crying and shouted, "Your Medicine King Hospital killed my husband; you must pay compensation!"

"That’s right, pay up!"

"We won’t let this go if you don’t pay!"

The dozen or so strong men behind echoed menacingly.

Zhu Kun also put on an act of trying to mediate the situation, "Chen Xuan, I think it’s better for you to quickly pay the money to settle this, otherwise, the reputation of the entire Medicine King Hospital will be ruined by you!"

Chen Xuan sneered inwardly.

How could he not understand Zhu Kun’s mind? If he agreed to settle with compensation, that would be tantamount to admitting that the patient had been treated to death by him, and then even jumping into the Yellow River would not clear his name.

Pretending to comply, Chen Xuan nodded, "How much were you thinking of asking for?"

"How much?" The bald strong man’s eyes darted around before he boldly declared, "My brother was the main support of our family. Now that he’s gone, our sky has fallen. For a human life, we should at least get five million, right?"

The bald strong man was actually Brother Xiong, nicknamed Xiong Laosan, brought in by Zhu Kun to deal with Chen Xuan. He was known for various swindling activities and was quite adept at extortion.

The price from Xiong Laosan made everyone present feel embarrassed.

This Miracle Doctor Chen was said to be just an intern; if he really had to pay five million, wouldn’t that bankrupt him?

Chen Xuan sneered in his heart.

These people really had the audacity to open their mouths wide asking for five million straight away!

Yet Chen Xuan still nodded, "Fine, the money—I’ll give it!"
