Chapter 14 Arrogant Foreigner Meets National Player Again

Huangfu Shiyue immediately stepped forward. "Jingxuan, you're welcome."

Li Jingxuan's face was bitter. "Shiyue, I'm sorry. My health is deteriorating. I'm afraid I can't hold on for much longer."

Huangfu Shiyue comforted her, "Jingxuan, don't worry. You're blessed with good fortune. Nothing will happen to you."

Li Jingxuan looked at Ye Chu curiously, a flicker of suspicion in her eyes.

"Shiyue, is this young man the doctor you mentioned?"

Huangfu Shiyue smiled and nodded. "Jingxuan, my brother is a very skilled doctor. He can definitely cure you."

The elegant middle-aged man beside him frowned slightly, clearly skeptical.

The bald middle-aged man, who was very good at reading people's expressions, immediately spoke up.

"Hmph, such a big mouth."

Huangfu Shiyue frowned and looked in the direction of the voice. He saw the bald middle-aged man speaking.

Ye Chu also looked over and was startled by the sight of the white-haired old man.

It was none other than Li Zhengyuan, the national champion who had appeared at the Jiang family's residence not long ago.

The other man was also eyeing him curiously.

Ye Chu nodded, then looked at the bald middle-aged man and raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong? Do you have a problem?"

The bald middle-aged man looked stern. "Boy, you look so young, you probably haven't even graduated from college yet, and you dare treat patients?"

He scolded loudly, as if admonishing a younger generation. "Young people should keep their feet on the ground. Don't be too ambitious, or you'll end up hurting yourself and others."

Ye Chu was speechless. The other man's demeanor made anyone who didn't know him think he was a high-ranking official visiting.

"None of your business."

He replied with just four words, and the bald middle-aged man's face immediately turned pale with anger.

"How dare you speak so arrogantly in front of the mayor!" he sternly scolded.

Huangfu Shiyue said coldly, "Shut up! If you dare to speak rudely again, don't blame me for being rude."

Seeing the tension build, the elegant middle-aged man spoke up.

"You two are guests. Please don't let trivial matters ruin the atmosphere."

"For the sake of the mayor, I won't bother with you," the bald middle-aged man said with a feigned generosity.

Neither of them even glanced at him as Huangfu Shiyue dragged Ye Chu along, ready to examine Li Jingxuan.

The elegant middle-aged man, Huang Haijun, said, "Miss Huangfu, we appreciate your kindness, but with Doctor Li and Dr. George here, I don't think this young man will need to intervene."

Huangfu Shiyue frowned slightly and tried to speak, but Ye Chu held her back.

"Sister Shiyue, it's okay. I'm just here for fun."

Huang Haijun looked at Li Zhengyuan. "Master Li, do you have any way to treat Jingxuan's condition?"

Of the people around him, he trusted Master Li Zhengyuan the most.

"I'll have to see for sure."

Li Zhengyuan didn't dare finish his words and stepped forward to take Li Jingxuan's pulse.

Huang Haijun watched nervously from the side.

The blond foreigner muttered in English with disdain, "What era is this? You still believe in Chinese medicine?"

The bald middle-aged man quickly agreed, "Doctor George is right. Chinese medicine is a scam. We still need Western medicine to treat our illnesses."

Luckily, Ye Chu couldn't understand bird language, otherwise he would have definitely refuted the two.

After a long while, Li Zhengyuan stopped taking the pulse.

Huang Haijun immediately asked, "Master Li, how is it?"

Li Zhengyuan frowned. "Strange! Judging from her pulse, Madam Huang is suffering from heart failure, but I haven't been able to pinpoint the cause."

Li Jingxuan is only thirty years old. It's impossible for her to suffer from heart failure without a specific cause.

"Has Madam Huang ever had any heart problems? Or is there a hereditary disease in her family?"

Huang Haijun shook his head. "No. Jingxuan has always been in good health, and there are no hereditary diseases in her family."

Li Zhengyuan's frown deepened, and after a moment's thought, he said, "Madam Huang's condition is very strange. I can only alleviate the heart failure; I'm afraid I can't cure it."

Huang Haijun's face paled, and despair flashed in his eyes.

Even Master Li was helpless. Was there nothing left for her to do?

The bald middle-aged man stood up and said, "Mayor Huang, why don't we let Dr. George try? He's a leading expert in heart transplants in the United States and has performed many successful transplants."

Huang Haijun looked troubled.

Heart transplants are incredibly risky; even a mishap could result in death.

He didn't dare gamble.

"Mr. Huang, I'm leaving Longguo in three days. You'd better consider this as soon as possible. If you delay any longer, even I'm afraid you won't be able to guarantee your success."

George, a middle-aged blond man, spoke in broken Longguo. "I know Mr. Huang still wants to see a Chinese doctor, but Chinese medicine is all a scam. If you pin your hopes on them, you'll undoubtedly be destroying Mrs. Huang's chances of survival."

At these words, Li Zhengyuan and Ye Chu both looked over.

The former's face was displeased. "Sir, Chinese medicine has been passed down for thousands of years and is profound and extensive. How can you so easily judge it?"

George glared at him with disdain. "What nonsense! You boast so much about it! Why can't you cure Madam Huang's illness?"

Li Zhengyuan was speechless. After a moment, he said, "That's just because I'm not very skilled. It doesn't mean Chinese medicine is useless."

The bald middle-aged man curled his lips. "Old man, stop trying to cover up for Chinese medicine. Most Chinese medicine practitioners today are charlatans. Few can truly treat illnesses. It won't be long before they're completely eliminated."

"You..."

Li Zhengyuan's eyes widened in anger. George's disparagement of Chinese medicine was fine.

As a Dragon, the bald middle-aged man actually looked down on Chinese medicine.

It was truly infuriating.

"Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you criticize Chinese medicine?"

Ye Chu suddenly spoke, his words quite bluntly.

The bald middle-aged man's face darkened. "Boy, what are you talking about?"

Ye Chu said calmly, "I'm saying you've forgotten your roots and are worshipping foreign things. Trash like you have ruined the legacy our ancestors left behind."

"You, you, you..."

The bald middle-aged man trembled all over, his small, mung-bean eyes fixed on Ye Chu, as if he were about to eat him.

George said calmly, "Young man, from what you've said, you're also a Chinese medicine practitioner?"

Ye Chu nodded proudly. "I'm not very talented, but I know a little bit about Chinese medicine."

He then glanced at Li Jingxuan. "But treating Madam Huang's condition should be no problem."

Everyone was shocked by these words.

The bald middle-aged man scoffed, "You're so arrogant! Aren't you afraid of getting your tongue caught in the wind?"

Huang Haijun's eyes flashed with displeasure, and even Li Zhengyuan frowned slightly.

Ye Chu was so young; it would be difficult for him to master even Western medicine, let alone Chinese medicine.

Learning Chinese medicine isn't something that can be accomplished overnight.

George chuckled, "Really? Then why don't you give us a demonstration? Let's see if Chinese medicine is as powerful as you claim?"

"Then you'll have to watch carefully," Ye Chu chuckled, looking at Huang Haijun.

While he could treat Li Jingxuan's illness, he still needed her consent.

Huang Haijun politely said, "Thank you for your kindness, little brother. Jingxuan's condition isn't good enough. Let's ask Elder Li to prescribe some medicine for her so she can recover."
