Chapter 22 - Doubts

However, just a short time after Li Han’s father had left, a handsome young man suddenly arrived with a large group of doctors in tow.

“Han’er, don’t worry, I’ve brought the best doctors in the city to treat the old master.

I believe we will definitely be able to cure him,” the handsome young man said as he entered, then immediately waved to the group of doctors behind him, signaling them to treat the old master.

The doctors immediately approached the old master’s sickbed, ready to begin treatment.

However, when they saw the old master’s body covered in silver needles, they were completely dumbfounded.

“Young Master Yan…

what’s going on here?” Doctor Xiao, who was leading the group, asked the handsome young man with a bewildered look.

It was then that the man referred to as Young Master Yan also noticed Li Han’s grandfather on the sickbed, his body full of silver needles.

“Han’er, what happened here?

Who did this to the old master?” Young Master Yan asked Li Han, looking surprised.

Li Han crossed her arms and said to Young Master Yan, “It was the doctor I hired who did this.

I appreciate your kindness, but my grandfather’s asthma has already been addressed, so please take your doctors back with you.”

Li Han’s tone when she spoke to Young Master Yan was somewhat indifferent.

Although Young Master Yan had come to help, one could tell from Li Han’s tone and the expression on her face that she didn’t have much fondness for him.

Slightly taken aback by her words, Young Master Yan then asked, “You’ve hired a doctor?

Where is he?

Which hospital’s top doctor is he from?”

Young Master Yan looked around and then his gaze fixed on Chen Yang, who was standing by the sickbed.

In the sickroom, besides the doctors he had brought, only Chen Yang looked dressed like a doctor.

So without waiting for Li Han to reply, Young Master Yan walked straight over to Chen Yang and, with a look of dissatisfaction, demanded, “Are you the doctor Han’er has hired?”

“Mm-hmm, that’s correct.”

Chen Yang nodded without denying it.

“What qualifies you to treat the old master?

The old master’s asthma has been with him for over a decade, it’s older than you, do you understand that?” Young Master Yan asked coldly, staring at Chen Yang.

“I know the old master has had asthma for many years, but what if I can cure it?” Chen Yang replied calmly and confidently.

Young Master Yan sneered and then fired off a series of skeptical questions, “You’re like a calf that is not afraid of tigers.

From which hospital are you, and do you have a medical license?

Treating the old master carelessly, can you take responsibility if something goes wrong?”

“It doesn’t matter which hospital I am from; what matters is that I can cure the old master, and I can take responsibility for him, is that enough?” Chen Yang met Young Master Yan’s gaze unflinchingly.

Though Chen Yang was poor and his clothes couldn’t compare to those of Young Master Yan,

his integrity meant that he didn’t feel at all inferior in front of Young Master Yan, who was clad in expensive brands.

Watching Chen Yang, assertive and unruffled, Li Han found herself momentarily dazed and felt a slight flutter in her heart.

“Enough, Yan Bo!

This is the doctor I hired to treat my grandfather, please show some respect!” At that moment, Li Han recovered and directly chided the young man named Yan Bo.

“Han’er…

this person is an unknown quantity, he could very well be a charlatan, and we can’t let him treat the old master—it could be disastrous!” Yan Bo’s complexion changed immediately after being rebuked by Li Han.

His tone began to soften, as he tried to persuade Li Han.

But Li Han trusted Chen Yang’s medical skills absolutely, so she completely disregarded what Yan Bo was saying.

“I trust the doctor I’ve hired, and if you continue to disrespect my friend, I’ll have to ask you to leave!” Li Han said with a hint of anger.

Li Han’s furious stance left Yan Bo stunned.

He hadn’t expected that someone nearly his own age would be so important to Li Han.

Just by questioning him a few times, Li Han wanted to throw him out!

This made him feel bitter and somewhat hesitant to continue his impudence.

“Han’er, don’t be angry.

I was just too worried about you being deceived, which is why I acted like that.

Since you trust him so much, then let him continue to treat the old master,” said Yan Bo, managing a forced smile.

Li Han huffed softly and didn’t bother with Yan Bo anymore, turning instead to Chen Yang with apologetic eyes, the meaning clear without words.

And Chen Yang, not stooping to Yan Bo’s level, returned Li Han’s smile, then continued to tend to the old master’s condition.

Yan Bo saw everything, the exchange of glances between Chen Yang and Li Han.

Having just witnessed Li Han’s defense of Chen Yang, he was already seething with jealousy, and now, seeing the look they shared, his emotions were on the verge of exploding.

But whenever Chen Yang thinks about doing anything more, Li Han is ready to kick him out, so he had to bear with it.

He thought to himself, “I really want to see how capable you are.

Those diseases that experts from the county and the city couldn’t cure, can you, a young man in his twenties, really cure them?”

When you fail to cure Old Master Li, watch how I seize the opportunity to humiliate you.

Yan Bo clenched his fists, always watching Chen Yang closely, ready to pick on him at any moment.

As for Yan Bo’s thoughts, Chen Yang was naturally aware.

However, Chen Yang didn’t care at all because he was very confident about curing Old Master Li’s illness, so naturally, he was not afraid of Yan Bo or the group of doctors he had brought with him.

“Divine Doctor…

your medicinal concoction is ready…” Just at that moment, Li Han’s father, who had gone to prepare the medicine earlier, returned with a steaming bowl of medicinal concoction.

Chen Yang took the concoction, and under everyone’s watchful eye, administered it to Old Master Li.

Looking at the dark brown concoction, one of the doctors brought by Yan Bo couldn’t help but scoff and say unabashedly, “Heh, what era is this, still using those old traditional Chinese medicine methods!

If those methods were effective, what’s the use of so many Western medicine doctors?

This is truly laughable.”

The doctor’s disdainful words were heard throughout the ward, as if they were meant for everyone’s ears.

Li Han’s parents also began to look uncomfortable upon hearing this.

It wasn’t that they didn’t believe in Chen Yang, but they too felt that there was truth in the doctor’s words.

In this era, Western medicine was basically the norm, and so-called traditional Chinese doctors had practically disappeared.

Could Old Master Li really be cured by this young man in his twenties using traditional Chinese medical methods?

Although Li Han’s parents had their doubts, they didn’t say much else.

“What if my methods do work?” Chen Yang, having finished administering the medicine, looked up with a smile and said to the arrogant doctor.

“If your methods work!

I will abandon Western medicine on the spot, kneel down, and ask to become your disciple to learn traditional Chinese medicine, how about that?” The doctor stood up proudly and declared.

Seeing the doctor standing tall and proud, Chen Yang only smiled slightly and said nothing more.

Soon, he was going to see how this doctor would kneel down and become his disciple.

Since Chen Yang remained silent, the doctor thought Chen Yang’s momentum was weakening, so he became even more spirited.

He stepped right up to Chen Yang and asked persistently, “Then what will you do if your methods are useless?”

“I’ll be at your disposal!”

Chen Yang replied with a smile.

“Good!

That’s what you said!

If your methods turn out to be useless, I will immediately call security to throw you out and then take you to the police station to be locked up.

How dare you cheat and swindle without a medical practitioner license!” The doctor spoke with immense excitement.

But just as his words hadn’t completely fallen, Old Master Li, who had been gasping for breath and had passed out, suddenly came back to consciousness.

“Divine Doctor…

has the Divine Doctor arrived?” Old Master Li lay in the bed, struggling to raise his hand and said to everyone.

“Hmm?”

Old Master Li’s sudden awakening stunned everyone present.

All eyes immediately turned to Old Master Li, faces filled with shock.

Because the Old Master, who had been in a coma just before, woke up immediately after drinking the concoction, and his previously rapid breathing rhythm began to stabilize, too.

“Grandpa!

The Divine Doctor is here!”

Li Han, who snapped back to reality, rushed over and held Old Master Li’s hand.

“Good…

good, it’s good that the Divine Doctor is found.

My asthma is saved!” Old Master Li nodded repeatedly, trusting Chen Yang’s medical skill as much as Li Han did.

Because after drinking Chen Yang’s medicine yesterday, he felt much better.

It was many times more effective than the usual medicine prescribed at the hospital.

“Old Master, your asthma has just been suppressed and you still need good rest.

I will completely cure your asthma this time; just rest assured,” Chen Yang stepped forward and said to the very weak Old Master Li.

“Okay, okay…

thank you, Divine Doctor.” Old Master Li kept nodding, then quietly closed his eyes and began to rest.
