Chapter 692: Chapter 692: The Two National Doctors Who Lowered Their Stance
Fang Bai hesitated for a moment, took the check without looking at it, and casually stuffed it into the pocket of his clothing.
Fang Bai wasn’t short of money at the moment, but he knew the Lu Family was wealthy. As for the consultation fee, it didn’t matter to him whether the Lu Family gave it to him or not. However, since they had offered it, he accepted it; otherwise, the Lu Family would feel even more indebted to him, and that would be uncomfortable for them.
"The jade pendant I gave to Jianfeng, why isn’t he wearing it?"
Fang Bai suddenly asked.
He had not seen the jade pendant he had given to Lu Jianfeng while treating his injuries earlier. If Jianfeng had the jade pendant to protect him, he could have avoided the calamity that almost cost him his life.
"The jade pendant you gave him? We don’t know about that!"
Lu Xingping was startled and exchanged a glance with his wife, Li Yujie, both shaking their heads to indicate they had no idea.
Fang Bai had given the jade pendant to Lu Jianfeng privately, and Lu Xingping and his wife were unaware of it.
Fang Bai sighed, "When Jianfeng wakes up, remember to remind him to always wear the jade pendant I gave him when he goes out. That thing is a treasure, and it can save his life in critical moments! I had cautioned him when I first gave him the jade pendant; he probably just forgot to wear it this time when he left home."
After a pause, Fang Bai asked another question, "The injuries Jianfeng suffered were caused by a very powerful expert. If the perpetrators intend to hide, even if you send someone to investigate, it’s not certain you’ll be able to find any traces of them... By the way, were there any eyewitnesses when Jianfeng got beaten? Did they see what the attackers looked like?"
Lu Xingping said, "Jianfeng couldn’t stand those two bullies harassing a girl and got beaten when he stood up for her. According to the girl, the attackers were a fat man and a thin man, both middle-aged with long hair, dressed in very basic traditional long gowns. Someone tried to take pictures with their cell phone, but the phone was snatched away by those two bullies and crushed. After they assaulted him, they disappeared without a trace. I’ve already sent people to investigate, hoping to get some news..."
Fang Bai nodded, knowing that even though the Lu Family had an extensive network, they were ultimately a wealthy prominent clan of the secular world. The attackers who injured Lu Jianfeng, Fang Bai deduced, were likely Earth Level Martial Artists. Therefore, even if the Lu Family managed to find them, they probably would not be able to apprehend them and seek justice for Jianfeng.
"You Lu Family can investigate this matter in secret. If you discover the culprits, do not act rashly, or it might result in significant casualties. Inform me immediately if that happens, and I’ll deal with it personally. I’ll also keep an eye out! In any case, we can’t let the attackers escape the law unpunished!"
Fang Bai said with a grave voice.
"Understood."
Hearing Fang Bai say this, Lu Xingping knew that the matter might involve the Ancient Martial World, something they, as average secular individuals, couldn’t easily resolve, and so he nodded solemnly.
As Fang Bai had a free clinic appointment in the afternoon at the People’s Square, he declined the Lu couple’s invitation to stay and got up to leave.
Leaving with Fang Bai were Qian Haoduo and Hua Tianhe, two distinguished national doctors.
Lu Jianfeng’s severe injuries, in the eyes of Qian Haoduo and Hua Tianhe, were almost certainly fatal. Yet Fang Bai miraculously revived Jianfeng within just a couple of hours, completely overturning their understanding of medical skills, which deeply shocked them.
They believed that the techniques Fang Bai used to save Lu Jianfeng could have transcended the realm of medicine, even speculating whether he had used some kind of immortal magic.
Although they knew this notion was far-fetched, Qian Haoduo and Hua Tianhe had just witnessed the miraculous healing of Lu Jianfeng by Fang Bai and couldn’t help but let their imaginations run wild.
After leaving the Lu Family with Fang Bai, two of the leading figures from the Chinese medicine community followed by his side, ceaselessly inquiring how Fang Bai had cured Lu Jianfeng.
Not only were these two doctors highly skilled, but they were also obsessed with the study of traditional Chinese medicine, and if they couldn’t get a clear explanation about Lu Jianfeng’s case, they probably wouldn’t be able to sleep well at night.
The two held a very humble attitude, devoid of the seniority often seen among medical professionals, displaying instead a sincere eagerness to learn.
Fang Bai, annoyed by the two old men’s persistent questioning, finally said helplessly, "You want to know how I cured Lu Jianfeng, right? Fine, follow me to the free clinic at People’s Square. After it’s over, I’ll tell you!"
"A promise from a gentleman is as weighty as nine tripods!"
"The word of a gentleman is a vow no horses can chase!"
Qian Haoduo and Hua Tianhe both showed delighted expressions, fearing Fang Bai might go back on his word, they solemnly said.
Before Qian Haoduo and Hua Tianhe became National Doctors, they had participated in many free clinics. After they were granted the title, however, they gradually receded from the public eye, mingling only among the upper echelons of Huaxia society.
Once they became National Doctors, their consultation fees skyrocketed, often reaching several millions, affordable only to the rich and powerful, while ordinary people, even if willing, simply couldn’t bear such extravagant costs.
Although the free clinic would mean exposing themselves and interacting with the most ordinary citizens for no charge, Qian Haoduo and Hua Tianhe accepted it for the chance to learn from Fang Bai about the treatment of Lu Jianfeng.
Although they hadn’t eaten lunch, the trio, being martial artists, didn’t feel hungry and proceeded directly to People’s Square.
When the three arrived at People’s Square, the afternoon free clinic had already commenced.
The arrival of the two National Doctors, Qian Haoduo and Hua Tianhe, excited the doctors from Yanjing Hospital who were conducting the free clinic; they all stood up to greet them, feeling immensely honored just to shake hands or exchange a few words with the esteemed physicians.
Most of those seeking treatment were ordinary citizens. Since Qian Haoduo and Hua Tianhe had been out of the public eye for many years, almost none of the patients recognized them, so they continued to line up in an orderly manner.
Fang Bai waved his hand, telling the doctors to return to their tables to continue treating patients, and had Wu Tian and others bring two examination tables for Qian Haoduo and Hua Tianhe to sit at.
Distinguished National Doctors stooping to offer free treatment here, if such news spread, it would be met with disbelief by many in the medical community.
Qian Haoduo and Hua Tianhe had no complaints; for if Fang Bai, whose medical skills vastly surpassed theirs, deigned to participate in the free clinic, what reason did they have to refuse?
Both Qian Haoduo and Hua Tianhe possessed unique medical skills and treated patients with both accuracy and speed. Soon, long queues formed in front of their tables as well.
At that moment, Qian Haoduo and Hua Tianhe were like two students hoping to perform well, perhaps touching Fang Bai so much that he might share with them some profound medical knowledge.
Throughout the afternoon, Qian Haoduo and Hua Tianhe sat earnestly treating patients, unlike other doctors who took breaks in between, they appeared tireless and hardly ever left their tables.
