Chapter 23 You're Playing Such a Joke on Me!

Yang Chen was not afraid of Gao Feng at the moment, but he was still grateful for Ma Guangming’s friendly reminder.

“Dean Ma, I will be careful.”

“By the way, what is the situation with the patient you mentioned earlier that you wanted to show me?”

Dean Ma was overjoyed when Yang Chen brought it up.

“The situation is very bad. This afternoon, he suddenly fell into a deep coma. Our hospital has tried many methods to no avail, and now the patient’s family has requested a transfer.”

“Young Brother Yang, if you can cure the patient, I, Ma, will be eternally grateful!”

As he spoke, Dean Ma lowered his voice and said, “Young Brother, that important figure has great influence in Yangcheng. A sneeze from him can make Yangcheng tremble. If you can cure him, it will greatly benefit your future career!”

Yang Chen now deeply understood the meaning of “power.” Three years ago, he was beaten into an imbecile, yet Gao Feng could walk free.

It was all because of power!

“With my current physical condition, I am not afraid of anyone in a one-on-one fight. However, society is not just about fighting. If I want my parents to live a good life, I must also have my own influence!”

Yang Chen clenched his fist tightly and nodded, saying, “Dean Ma, I will go with you. But let’s be clear upfront, I cannot guarantee that I can cure the illness immediately!”

Although Yang Chen could see the meridians and acupuncture points in a person’s body and potential hidden ailments, he was not omnipotent. Just like Zhang Suqin’s tumor, he could only use spiritual energy to suppress it from growing further; he could not completely remove the tumor.

Ma Guangming had been studying Yang Chen’s techniques when he treated Zhang Suqin. The more he researched, the more he realized how extraordinary Yang Chen was and the more he admired him. He joyfully said, “There is no disease in the world that can be cured 100%. As long as you do your best, I will be deeply grateful. Let’s go, there’s no time to delay. I’ll take you to see the patient now.”

Ma Guangming led Yang Chen out of the inpatient building and into a detached courtyard behind the hospital. The entrance was planted with various roses, and the path wound through it, giving it the appearance of a secluded garden, more elaborate than an ordinary family’s courtyard.

“Heaven is truly fair and unfair at the same time!”

Yang Chen sighed in his heart.

“Illness is fair to everyone, regardless of wealth or poverty; yet, the treatment received is so unfair. The special treatment that the rich can enjoy is truly unimaginable for the poor!”

Following Ma Guangming into the courtyard and up to the master bedroom on the second floor, if it weren’t for the various medical equipment placed in the room, it would have been indistinguishable from any luxurious room.

On the hospital bed lay an old man with white hair, his eyes closed, deep in slumber.

Beside the bed were a pair of middle-aged couples. The man was in his forties, exuding an air of refinement. The woman was around the same age as the man, but well-preserved, appearing to be in her early thirties, graceful and elegant with lingering charm.

Yang Chen’s gaze briefly swept over the woman’s face, and he felt a sense of familiarity in her eyebrows and demeanor.

“I feel like I’ve seen this young woman somewhere before… I should remember meeting someone from such a wealthy family!”

Seeing Ma Guangming enter, the man forced a tired smile and stepped forward, shaking his hand and saying, “Dean Ma, thank you very much for the care your hospital has provided my father during this time.”

“Mr. Chu, are you really going to transfer the old man?”

“Dean Ma, please don’t misunderstand. I’m not doubting your hospital’s medical standards, but my father has been unconscious for over eight hours, and I’m very anxious!”

“I completely understand Mr. Chu’s feelings. Please give me one more chance. This time, I’ve invited an incredible divine doctor who can definitely diagnose Old Mr. Chu’s illness.”

“Oh!”

Mr. Chu’s eyebrows twitched, and he said with surprise, “Dean Ma, quickly… quickly invite that divine doctor to see my father. If he can truly cure his illness, I will reward him handsomely.”

“Mr. Chu, he is here, closer than any distant land.”

“The divine doctor has arrived?”

Mr. Chu bypassed Yang Chen directly and looked towards the door. Seeing how young Yang Chen was, he didn’t even consider him a divine doctor.

“Yang Chen, this is Mr. Chu Tiankuo, Mr. Chu.”

Dean Ma quickly introduced, “Mr. Chu, this is the divine doctor I told you about—Yang Chen.”

“Hello, Mr. Chu.”

Yang Chen proactively extended his hand. However, Chu Tiankuo stood frozen for a long moment before reacting. He did not shake Yang Chen’s hand and said to Ma Guangming with displeasure,

“Old Ma, we’ve known each other for many years. How could you play such a joke on me!”
