"What do you mean?"

Upon hearing his son’s words, Mr. Qian’s face, which had been filled with anger, suddenly cooled down, his gaze sternly fixed on his son.

"This cousin and Young Master Li from Second Uncle Li’s family were both beaten by Xiao Yi. They all know him. He’s really no divine doctor, just a rural bumpkin who studies at Z University, and just now he... he even extorted a million from me!"

The young man, gripped by his father’s staring, suddenly felt all weak, but quickly lifted his head and pointed at Qian Xiaofeng and Li Zijie, whose heads were tightly bandaged, then, he cautiously watched Xiao Yi.

"Mr. Xiao, is what the young man just said true?"

Mr. Qian’s gaze suddenly flared up and fixed intensely on Xiao Yi, although he looked extremely frail, but the pair of eyes that looked back were naturally exuding a powerful aura of a superior.

"Aside from the extortion, the basic facts are, that one million was for compensating my school sister’s emotional damages and other costs."

Xiao Yi nodded lightly.

"Good, good! Indeed, there are always new generations that overtake the old ones!"

Mr. Qian, looking at Xiao Yi, his eyes carried a hint of a chilling expression as he repeatedly uttered words of affirmation, adding in a sinister tone, "At this moment, I fully believe Xiao Yi is indeed a fraudster. Although I have some understanding of what my son mentioned, knowing that my son probably provoked something and encountered Xiao Yi leading to being extorted by him, as for the so-called compensation Xiao Yi mentioned? What kind of mistake necessitates a million in emotional damages?"

However, he didn’t expect that this fellow not only extorted the Qian Family but also got his deceit and extortion exposed right there, yet Xiao Yi was still able to maintain his composure in front of him without desperation!

"Mr. Qian, could there be some misunderstanding here?"

Elder An also started to be somewhat astonished, seeing Mr. Qian’s gaze, he immediately knew he was about to get angry and hurriedly tried to smooth things over.

"Elder An, I’ve been coming to you for treatment for many years, I understand and trust you, you are a noble and honorable doctor, but I think this time you have really been deceived by a scoundrel."

Mr. Qian deeply bowed to Elder An, then looked lightly at Xiao Yi and said, "Young man, I must say, your scamming skills are quite sophisticated, you almost fooled even me, but I still have to say, the more one walks at night, the more ghosts one meets. Today, out of respect for Elder An, I won’t hold it against you, but I hope we don’t cross paths again."

Having said that, he turned again to Elder An and gratefully added, "Elder An, I truly appreciate your kindness, but life and death are decreed by fate, wealth and honor are in the hands of heaven. I, Qian Fuchen, am not afraid of death. Today’s illness, I will not have treated. The medicine you prescribed last time, I still have some, and I’ll come back for a follow-up after I finish it."

Having said that, he then strode off.

Watching Qian Fuchen leave, the young man along with Qian Xiaofeng and Li Zijie glanced at Xiao Yi, then also hurriedly followed, quickly making a grand departure from the clinic’s doorway.

"Ah..."

Elder An still wanted to say something to Mr. Qian, but was stopped by Xiao Yi.

"Elder An, since they don’t believe in my medical skills, don’t force it. My role as a doctor isn’t so lowly as to beg people for treatment, and besides, he’s right about one thing: life and death are predestined, and fortune is in the hands of heaven. His choice to not believe me is also a kind of fate."

Xiao Yi said with a light smile.

"Ah... This situation, you see, it really turned out to be..."

Elder An looked at Xiao Yi’s expression, and then at the departing group, couldn’t help but sigh deeply, a bitter smile covering his face.

"Elder An, you’re not to blame for this. There was simply too much coincidence involved in this matter."

Xiao Yi, seeing Elder An’s demeanor, knew he still hadn’t come to terms with it, while admiring his medical ethics, also couldn’t help but feel a bit of regret. Mr. Qian was indeed unfortunate, considering the illness I detected just now, although my medical skills might not have been able to fully cure him, extending his life for three to five years was still possible.

"This... what exactly was the young man talking about just now?"

Elder An raised his head and asked Xiao Yi.

"Here’s what happened..."

Xiao Yi then basically shared with Elder An about the encounter on his way here.

"So that’s how it happened... Ah... this really has been a tragic misunderstanding."

After listening to Xiao Yi, Elder An couldn’t help but sigh once more, "Mr. Qian is a good man, but it’s a pity about his son, who really isn’t up to much. Xiao Yi, you just mentioned, his illness, it was caused by a liver medication he took, is that true?"

"This is absolutely true. I detected it very clearly from his pulse that only by taking that kind of medicine would his liver show such a condition, and moreover, from looking at the situation, he took that medication on the day I was resuscitating him."

Hearing Elder An ask about this matter, Xiao Yi’s expression became serious.

"Can you really discern that as well?"

Dr. Zhang could no longer hold back and exclaimed at the side.

"It’s possible, as long as your pulse diagnosis Kungfu is proficient, combined with some inspection diagnosis and smelling diagnosis, along with a familiarity with the various meridians of the human body, all these can be diagnosed. For example, you have been suffering from rising heat in your body, and you haven’t had a bowel movement for two days!"

Xiao Yi turned his head and smiled at Dr. Zhang.

"My God! Xiao Yi, have you been tracking me? Or, have you been in contact with my family?"

Dr. Zhang’s eyes widened. He was not aware of other people’s conditions, but he was very clear about his own. He had not had a bowel movement for two days, had already diagnosed himself, and had prescribed medicine, but it had not yet taken effect.

"Xiao Yi, it’s unbelievable that at such a young age, you have already reached this level!"

Elder An certainly knew what Xiao Yi was talking about, but he couldn’t help expressing his amazement. What Xiao Yi mentioned was theoretical, and in reality, it was very difficult. Even he couldn’t reach that level; at best, he could roughly diagnose what might be wrong and prescribe accordingly, and that was no small feat.

However, immediately after, a look of suspicion appeared on his face, "But that’s not right. Logically speaking, Mr. Qian shouldn’t do such a thing, should he? From his expression just now, he really didn’t seem to know. Could it really be that he forgot? Or perhaps his family gave him something without him knowing?"

"That, I don’t know, haha."

Xiao Yi spread his hands.

"Ah... if that’s really the case, then it truly is fate..."

Elder An sighed again and then looked up at Xiao Yi, "By the way, Xiao Yi, when you were looking at Mr. Qian’s condition earlier, are you confident you can cure him?"

"Curing him is impossible now, his condition has worsened extensively. However, helping him alleviate some symptoms and letting him live another three to five years shouldn’t be a problem."

Xiao Yi shook his head.

"Three to five years?"

Elder An was startled, looking incredulously at Xiao Yi.

"Yes."

Xiao Yi nodded and then added, "It definitely won’t be more than ten years."

"Ah... it seems Mr. Qian will end up dying at the hands of his son."

Seeing Xiao Yi’s serious expression, Elder An sighed again, his eyes revealing a very regretful look.

Upon hearing Elder An’s words, Xiao Yi also fell silent. Although there were many coincidences in this matter, if his son hadn’t come earlier, without that scene, perhaps he really would have accepted the treatment.

"Xiao Yi, you don’t need to treat the patients here, but over there at my place, there’s a patient who will definitely accept your treatment. Come with me quickly."

After a moment of silence, Dr. Zhang suddenly snapped back to his senses, breaking the silence, grabbed Xiao Yi’s hand quickly, and walked out with him.

"What?"

Xiao Yi was surprised by Dr. Zhang’s sudden move and looked at Elder An.

"Zhang, what’s going on?"

Elder An was also surprised.

"Elder An, it’s like this. I just received a patient whose condition is very critical. With my medical skills, I can’t guarantee a 100% success rate, but with Divine Doctor Xiao’s help, I believe we can certainly ensure it."

Dr. Zhang explained to Elder An, then looked pleadingly at Xiao Yi and said, "Xiao Yi, you wouldn’t refuse to help me, would you? This patient is of no ordinary status, and if I can’t cure him, the consequences could be quite severe..."

"Since that’s the case, Xiao Yi, please go with Zhang and give him a hand."

Before Xiao Yi could speak, Elder An had already addressed him.

"Okay, Dr. Zhang, let’s go."

Even if Elder An hadn’t spoken, Xiao Yi would have agreed. He was still very grateful for Dr. Zhang’s help during Wang Qingqing’s cousin, Wang Xiaohu’s incident, and he still owed him a favor. Plus, from the few interactions with Dr. Zhang, he had a very good impression of him, and helping him wouldn’t be a problem.

............

Inside the hospital’s outpatient building, the anxious expressions of a few family members who had just accompanied Dr. Zhang paced back and forth in the lobby, occasionally glancing towards the direction Dr. Zhang had run to.

"Mr. Liu, that Dr. Zhang is too tactless, really impolite to just leave us here and walk off!"

A man wearing a gray suit, somewhat thin, stared at a middle-aged man in a black suit, his face showing signs of fatigue but still maintaining a steady demeanor, and indignantly said.
