Chapter 739: How Did You Know?

"Kid, are you threatening me?"

Mr. Liu’s eyes turned icy, as sharp as knives, he stared intently at Xiao Yi.

The other doctors, although they felt extremely satisfied listening to Xiao Yi scold this Mr. Liu, when they saw Mr. Liu looking like he was about to explode, they immediately tensed up. Hastily, they stood up, smiling apologetically, "Mr. Liu, Mr. Xiao he..."

While they started speaking, trying to explain for Xiao Yi, they inwardly sighed at Xiao Yi’s youthful impetuosity. He usually seemed very amiable, but when faced with a problem, he still couldn’t control himself. They knew they had to stop him; they couldn’t let him offend Mr. Liu to the point of no return.

"Mr. Liu, it seems your sleep hasn’t been too good lately, right? Some of your abilities feel a bit lacking?"

However, Xiao Yi seemed completely oblivious to their well-intentioned efforts. He didn’t allow them to continue speaking, cutting them off directly and narrowing his eyes as he looked at Mr. Liu, "Do you experience a faint pain in your abdomen around 11 p.m. and noon every day?"

"You..."

Xiao Yi’s words struck Mr. Liu’s heart like a heavy blow, causing his mind to buzz. It took him a while to come back to his senses. His face showed a mixture of anger, urgency, and shock as he looked at Xiao Yi.

The other doctors standing by were also stunned, unsure if Xiao Yi’s sudden remarks were true or not.

"Your appetite has also started to decline, hasn’t it? Even with delicacies from land and sea placed in front of you, just lightly picking at them with your chopsticks makes you feel a sense of revulsion."

Xiao Yi paid no mind to their gaze or to Mr. Liu’s mixture of fear and astonishment, simply continuing to smile, his tone unhurried as he spoke.

"You..."

Mr. Liu was completely shocked, staring at Xiao Yi’s smiling face that showed not a hint of fear, a look of firm confidence and assuredness, and he felt waves of astonishment churning inside him. How on earth did this young man know all this?

"I wonder, Mr. Liu, is there any inaccuracy in what I said?"

Xiao Yi looked at Mr. Liu’s face, which now lacked its previous haughtiness and was filled with immense shock, and he smiled faintly.

"You... how did you know?"

Finally, Mr. Liu came to his senses, looking at Xiao Yi with a fearful expression in his eyes, filled with shock. The young man had spoken of all his private matters, things he had never shared with anyone! Even because the symptoms weren’t severe, he considered them normal and had never sought a hospital check-up, assuming his annual comprehensive physical examination was sufficient.

Upon hearing Mr. Liu’s words and seeing his expression, the doctors from the hospital were all utterly astonished.

This young man guessed everything correctly?

This... Although it’s said in traditional Chinese medicine there’s something called "Inspection Diagnosis," he had just arrived and upon first meeting, with just one look, he could tell so much. This was almost too unbelievable!

Could it be that this young man knew Mr. Liu before, or had investigated Mr. Liu’s affairs? But that’s impossible, they had never met before, and it was only today that they called him and he met Mr. Liu!

Even the hospital director was finally shaken.

Upon hearing Mr. Liu’s question, everyone’s gaze turned to Xiao Yi, and they all wanted to know how Xiao Yi knew.

"How I knew? Naturally, I saw it. I forgot to introduce myself to Mr. Liu; I study traditional Chinese medicine. Inspection Diagnosis is the foundation of Chinese medicine. Oh, and I suggest Mr. Liu get a detailed check-up soon, otherwise, I fear the situation might be dire," Xiao Yi said, lightly touching the bridge of his nose, his tone casual.

After finishing, it seemed he remembered something, "Oh, right, I almost forgot. Mr. Liu doesn’t think highly of my modest medical skills. Well, let’s assume I’ve been rambling nonsense then."

"Sorry, Doctor Niu, Doctor Li, Director, since the patient doesn’t really welcome me or trust me, I think I might not be able to help you this time. I’ll head back first," said Xiao Yi, after speaking to Mr. Liu, he turned his head, apologetically shrugging at Doctor Niu and the others.

"This..."

Doctor Niu and the others had invited Xiao Yi specifically to solve a problem, and now the problem wasn’t even close to being resolved. They didn’t want Xiao Yi to leave, but considering that they had brought Xiao Yi and couldn’t even have him see the patient, they found no reason to ask him to stay, feeling abruptly embarrassed.

"Stop right there!"

While Doctor Niu and the others were awkwardly standing at the door, wanting to invite Xiao Yi to stay but not finding the words, Mr. Liu finally snapped back to reality. Seeing Xiao Yi seemingly about to slip away, he hastily bellowed, his face alternating between shades of blue and white as he glared at Xiao Yi and grimly bit out, "Kid, you’ve spread bewitching nonsense and alarming speculations, and now you think you can just leave? It’s not that easy!"

As his voice fell, the three bodyguards by his side immediately moved, blocking Xiao Yi’s way from three different angles.

"Mr. Liu, you!"

Doctor Niu had never expected Mr. Liu to dare do such a thing. Seeing the three bodyguards surround Xiao Yi, he couldn’t contain himself any longer and stood up, his face flushed with anger as he pointed accusingly at Mr. Liu.

Xiao Yi was his guest, and now he was surrounded. This made him feel even worse inside than if he had been the one cornered, his heart filled with fury and shame.

"Doctor Niu, it’s alright."

Xiao Yi raised a hand to stop Doctor Niu, who was about to burst out scolding. He looked at Mr. Liu with eyes that did not show anger, but instead a sly smile appeared, "Mr. Liu, what do you mean by this?"

"What do I mean? Hmph, you’ve babbled nonsense, feeling all satisfied, and now you think you can just run away? There is no such easy deal in this world! I’m going to have it inspected right now, and if it turns out you’ve been speaking nonsense, just wait and see what consequences you’ll face!"

Mr. Liu huffed coldly, his gaze shifting to the hospital director, "You, arrange it immediately, get me an inspection!"

With that, he turned and hurried into the sickroom.

Shortly after, he rushed back to the doorway of the sickroom and told the few bodyguards, "Keep a close eye on this kid." With a somewhat panicked demeanor, he quickly followed the director’s steps to proceed with the inspection.

Although he had just spoken confidently, saying that Xiao Yi was talking nonsense, deep down he was already in chaos. After all, what Xiao Yi had said was just too bizarre, too accurate—as if he had been there, witnessing every attack, even describing it more precisely than Liu himself could have!

"Doctor Niu, who exactly is this Mr. Liu?"

As Xiao Yi watched Mr. Liu and the hospital director leave for the inspection, a trace of chill flickered in his eyes. His gaze then returned to Doctor Niu, and he asked with a smile.

"Hmph, just a nobody flaunting borrowed authority, relying on his ties with the Zhao family to act like one of them, always so arrogant and self-important."

Doctor Niu watched as the three bodyguards surrounded Xiao Yi, who remained calm and collected, unfazed and bantering casually. He felt immense admiration and respect for Xiao Yi. Perhaps influenced by him, he too seemed to let go of his previous timidity, ignoring the bodyguards right in front of him, and bluntly said his piece without reservation.

"The Zhao family?"

Xiao Yi was slightly taken aback.

"Who else but the Zhao family would dare to be so imperious here at Z University First Hospital?"

Doctor Niu snorted coldly, his impression of the Zhao family apparently very negative, as a deep loathing showed in his eyes.

"Doctor Niu, are you saying that the patient inside is a member of the Zhao family?"

Xiao Yi looked at Doctor Niu again, somewhat astonished, wondering if he had misheard. Ever since he arrived in G City, he had encountered each of the Four Great Families, and with some families, he had even developed quite close dealings. The Li family, for example, could be said to be completely in his hands, but aside from that one time with Third Young Master Zhao, he rarely saw members of the Zhao family doing anything excessive.

Overall, the Zhao family gave off an air of proud aloofness but weren’t ostentatious or arrogant. People like Zhao Yuhua carried pride in their bones but would absolutely not engage in oppressing or taking advantage of others.

"Indeed, Zhao Sheng. To be accurate, he’s only loosely associated with the Zhao family."

Before Doctor Niu could reply again, another Doctor Li interjected with a snort, "Yet his entourage is larger than anybody else’s."

Interesting, truly interesting. Who would have thought that the Zhao family would have such characters? It seems true, that in a vast forest, all sorts of birds are found. Not everyone in a big family is like Zhao Yuhua—there are always people like Gao Junjie in these factions, not all as noble.

But others might fear the mention of the Zhao or Li families, I, Xiao Yi, don’t care whether you’re from Zhao or Li!

A cold smirk played at the corner of Xiao Yi’s lips.

"Doctor Xiao, what you said about that guy being ill, is it true?"

Seeing that Xiao Yi wasn’t speaking, Doctor Niu didn’t continue discussing the Zhao family. Instead, he looked mournfully at the three bodyguards and peered worriedly at Xiao Yi.

If it turns out that Xiao Yi was pulling his leg after the inspection, things probably won’t settle easily. Although they all knew Xiao Yi had Jianguo Group behind him and that he was closely linked with Chen Jianguo, that guy was from the Zhao family. When compared to the Zhao family, Jianguo Group wasn’t in the same league.
