"You’re saying Xiao Yi is a fraud?"

Upon hearing Qian Fuchen’s words, Elder Mr. Ma and Mr. Ma’s expressions darkened abruptly. Elder Mr. Ma hadn’t spoken, but Mr. Ma’s eyes had already turned cold.

After the recent period of treatment, his father’s condition had visibly improved. He had become thoroughly convinced of Xiao Yi’s medical skills. Moreover, after two rescue treatments, he was certain that Xiao Yi was highly skilled in medicine. He greatly admired the abilities displayed by this young doctor, Xiao Yi.

Now, hearing Qian Fuchen call Xiao Yi a fraud, how could he keep his composure?

Elder Mr. Ma’s expression too had darkened severely. As the patient, he had the most genuine experience of Xiao Yi’s medical treatment. From before he received treatment to the current improvements, the comfort felt during acupuncture sessions, and the relief from bathing in Xiao Yi’s medicinal solutions, all were his own direct experiences. Furthermore, trusting Xiao Yi had been a matter of pride for him, feeling it to be one of the wisest decisions he had made.

He had even publicly declared, regardless of the final outcome of Xiao Yi’s treatments, that he completely trusted him!

Now here was Qian Fuchen, calling him a fraud from Jianghu? Then what did that make him, Old Ma?

"Yes, this young man has some skills indeed and he almost fooled me. So, Uncle Ma, you really need to be careful and not fall for his tricks."

Qian Fuchen, oblivious to their changing expressions and tones, mistakenly thought they were very angry about being deceived by Xiao Yi and continued speaking earnestly.

"Mr. Qian, after the so-called truth was exposed, you surely didn’t accept Xiao Yi’s treatment, did you?"

Mr. Ma, having listened to Qian Fuchen’s words, a hint of mockery emerged at the corners of his eyes.

No wonder he had caused so much trouble. No wonder his illness had worsened. With such a divine doctor, he had failed to recognize him and even treated him as a fraud. While speaking, he shifted from calling him Brother Qian to Mr. Qian.

"I knew he was a fraud, so naturally, I did not accept his treatment. Could it be..."

Qian Fuchen finally sensed something off and, somewhat astonished, he looked towards Mr. Ma, whose tone was gradually becoming harsh, and Elder Mr. Ma, whose face was darkening as if ink were about to drip from it.

"I think, Qian, putting the Qian family in your hands was a mistake. I ask you, on what basis do you call people frauds?"

Elder Mr. Ma could no longer restrain himself and hummed in annoyance, cutting off Qian Fuchen’s words harshly. "I think your illness primarily isn’t in your liver, but in your brain, no wonder your illness has dragged on like this."

His tone was very impolite as he spoke.

"I......"

Upon hearing Elder Mr. Ma’s extremely impolite words, Qian Fuchen was stunned, his facial expression paler, frozen in shock, completely unsure why he was so angry.

From the sound of it, Elder Mr. Ma actually believed that Xiao Yi? That Xiao Yi was not a fraud?

"Humph, let me tell you, my father was also suffering from a chronic illness for many years, and sought treatment from renowned hospitals nationwide unsuccessfully. It was Xiao Yi, whom you call a fraud from Jianghu, who cured him."

Mr. Ma said coldly.

He strongly disapproved of the way Qian Fuchen handled matters. Although he did not understand why Qian Fuchen believed Xiao Yi was a fraud, in his opinion, no matter the reason, it could be investigated independently. His condition had reached this stage, and yet knowing of Xiao Yi, he had failed to investigate Xiao Yi’s capabilities, which was a clear indication of his failure.

"Ah?"

Mr. Ma’s words, once again, exploded like a heavy bomb in Qian Fuchen’s mind.

Xiao Yi had actually cured Elder Mr. Ma...

Could it be that Xiao Yi wasn’t a fraud after all?

Why do you think Xiao Yi is a fraud?

Elder Mr. Ma’s words, like a heavy hammer, struck deep in Qian Fuchen’s heart. He couldn’t help but start to recall everything about Xiao Yi and the situation when he had made that judgment...

Yet, he still couldn’t understand how Xiao Yi could be a doctor. The truth about the past incidents lay bare before him, leaving no room for doubt. He trembled involuntarily as he asked, "He... he’s just a student from Z University, isn’t he?"

"That’s correct. Xiao Yi is a student at Z University, but who told you that a student from Z University can’t be a doctor?"

A cold smile appeared on Elder Mr. Ma’s face as he looked at Qian Fuchen.

"Besides, don’t you think you’re being a bit foolish? He’s a student at Z University; would he dare to commit fraud? And moreover, would he dare to deceive a person from the Qian Family?"

Mr. Ma, too, added coldly from the side.

Who says a Z University student can’t be a doctor?

How dare he deceive a person from the Qian Family?

Qian Fuchen’s body shuddered violently, and his already pale face turned instantly deathly pale. Sweat began to profusely bead on his forehead, with both palms and back growing increasingly wet.

He suddenly realized that his initial judgment had indeed been too arbitrary!

Back then, there were indeed many oversights he could have spotted, but he failed to recognize any!

There was a more critical basis for judgment than the words the two men had said, and that was Divine Doctor An!

Who was Divine Doctor An? Since he repeatedly trusted Xiao Yi so much, why couldn’t he, Qian Fuchen, trust him? After all, Divine Doctor An was not just anybody; he was one of the leading figures in traditional Chinese medicine. If Xiao Yi hadn’t had some real ability, how could Divine Doctor An possibly trust him?

The irony was... Xiao Yi had previously saved his life once. That time, he had openly demonstrated his skills, and even during that last moment, he had taken his pulse and revealed certain things...

Laughably, he had never considered these aspects at that time and had simply assumed he was a fraud. And so much time had passed without him reflecting on these issues...

Just a moment ago, he was still insisting on his judgment...

Think about who the Ma Family is. Is it so easy to deceive them? If it wasn’t clear, could Elder Mr. Ma, with his distinguished status, let a stranger treat him randomly?

He was still advising Elder Mr. Ma not to accept medical treatment from Xiao Yi. No wonder Elder Mr. Ma was angry...

More and more sweat dripped from his forehead, and inside, his guts turned green with regret...(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for it or purchase a monthly ticket. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
