“A con man?”
Bai Zhi was stunned.
“Yeah!
That con man actually said you were afflicted with an Insect Gu.
Isn’t that ridiculous?
What era are we in?
Still using such a lame excuse to scam people!” Yang Hao said with disdain.
At this moment, Professor Tang let out a deep breath, his expression grave as he uttered two words: “Insect Gu!”
“Professor Tang, you must also find this scammer’s excuse ridiculous, right?
What’s all this about being afflicted with an Insect Gu!” Yang Kang said with a loud laugh.
“What scammer?
I’m saying this young lady is afflicted with an Insect Gu,” Professor Tang said with a frown.
What?
Hearing this, the smug smile on Yang Kang’s face froze instantly.
Beside them, the doctor in the white coat was also stunned.
‘An Insect Gu?’
‘Bai Zhi is really afflicted with an Insect Gu?’
‘Did Zheng Yan actually get it right?’
“Yes!
It is an Insect Gu!
Quickly, bring that person here!” Bai Zhi said hurriedly.
“Bai Zhi, don’t worry.
With Professor Tang here, won’t a mere Insect Gu be easily taken care of?”
“As for that kid, he’s so young, how skilled could he possibly be?
Could he be even more capable than Professor Tang?”
Yang Hao interjected, not wanting Zheng Yan to steal his thunder.
Hearing this, Bai Zhi paused for a moment and couldn’t help but nod to herself in agreement.
‘Although Zheng Yan saw that I was afflicted with an Insect Gu, it was probably just a coincidence.’
‘It’s like the old saying: never trust a smooth-faced youth to get things done.’
‘Zheng Yan is so young and just got out of prison.
How could someone like him possibly have amazing medical skills?
He probably just knows a few unorthodox tricks, like some barefoot doctor.
How could he possibly compare to a titan of the medical world like Professor Tang?’
“I’ll have to trouble you, Professor Tang!”
Bai Zhi said, looking at Professor Tang with a respectful expression.
“Young lady, I don’t know much about the Insect Gu either.
I can only tell that the one inside you is about to burst out of your stomach.”
“Under normal circumstances, you should be dead by now.”
“However, from your pulse, it seems something has temporarily suppressed the Insect Gu inside you.”
“You just said someone told you that you were afflicted with an Insect Gu and fed you something?”
Professor Tang asked, his eyes lighting up.
‘To be able to spot an Insect Gu at a glance and even temporarily suppress it…
a person with such abilities must be a Divine Doctor, perhaps with medical skills far surpassing my own.’
‘Since I have the chance to meet such a Divine Doctor, I must certainly seek his guidance.’
“That’s right.
He saw at a glance that I had an Insect Gu and fed me something called a Strengthening Pill.”
Bai Zhi replied in a daze.
At this moment, her mind was in turmoil.
The famous Professor Tang was helpless, yet Zheng Yan could spot the Insect Gu in her body at a glance and even help her resolve the issue.
‘Could it be?
Are Zheng Yan’s medical skills even greater than Professor Tang’s?’
‘How is that possible?’
As she recalled Zheng Yan’s young, handsome face, Bai Zhi couldn’t help but feel a sense of unreality.
‘So young, with peerless medical skills, and just out of prison…
does such a person really exist in this world?’
“Then there’s no mistake!”
“Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes observation, listening, questioning, and palpation.
That man could see the Gu Insect in your body at a glance and even use a medicinal pill to suppress it!”
“This person must be a living Divine Doctor!”
“Miss Bai, forgive my bluntness, but the only person who can save you now is likely that great master!”
“Where is that old gentleman?
We must quickly ask him to intervene!
Otherwise, once the Gu Insect bursts from your stomach, not even the gods can save you!”
Professor Tang said excitedly, naturally assuming Zheng Yan must be an old Divine Doctor, past fifty with graying hair.
‘Old gentleman?’
Beside them, the doctor in the white coat had a strange expression.
Yang Hao’s face was as dark as water, his expression as ugly as if he’d just eaten shit.
“Go and ask him to come in for me.”
Bai Zhi looked at the doctor in the white coat.
“Okay…”
The doctor in the white coat turned and walked out, his face looking as if he were attending a funeral.
At that moment, he wished he could travel back in time and give his past self from a few minutes ago a couple of hard slaps.
‘Serves me right for looking down on people!’
‘And for running my mouth!’
‘He’s someone even Professor Tang calls a Divine Doctor!’
‘How could a minor doctor like me ever afford to offend someone like that?’
…
Meanwhile, outside the emergency room, several people were surrounding Zheng Yan, glaring at him angrily.
“Kid!
You’d better pray nothing happens to my daughter, or I’ll make sure you rot in jail!”
A middle-aged man with a square jaw, wearing an expensive shirt, stared at Zheng Yan with bloodshot eyes, looking like he wanted to swallow him whole.
This man was Father Bai.
“That’s right!
If anything happens to my daughter, don’t think you’ll get away with it!” Bai Zhi’s mother also glared furiously at Zheng Yan.
Standing to the side, Mrs.
Zheng was wringing her hands, feeling that her son had gotten himself into huge trouble.
Seeing this, Zheng Yan frowned and said, “I told you, I was saving your daughter.”
“Saving my daughter?
Why don’t you take a look in the mirror?
Are you even worthy?”
“A mere kid like you dares to boast about saving people?”
Father Bai glared at Zheng Yan and berated him.
CLICK!
Just then, the door to the emergency room opened.
Father Bai couldn’t be bothered with Zheng Yan anymore and hurried forward to ask, “Doctor, how is my daughter?”
“The patient is stable for now, but we’re at our wit’s end,” the doctor in the white coat said, shaking his head.
As he spoke, he gave Zheng Yan a complicated look.
‘Who would have thought that this young man, Zheng Yan, was actually a Divine Doctor in the flesh?’
Seeing the doctor look at Zheng Yan, Father Bai’s eyes instantly turned red.
He gritted his teeth and roared at Zheng Yan, “I swear, I will not let you off the hook!”
“Soon enough, you’ll be the one begging me,” Zheng Yan said with a smirk.
The members of the Bai Family nearly exploded with rage.
‘How can he be so arrogant after harming someone?’
They had never seen such an insolent person!
Just then, the doctor walked up to Zheng Yan, grit his teeth, and bowed deeply.
“Sir, I was the one who was blind and judged you unfairly.
I had eyes but failed to recognize Taishan.”
What?
Seeing this, the Bai Family members were instantly dumbfounded.
What was going on?
A doctor from the hospital, bowing and apologizing to a con man and a murderer?
“Doctor, did he threaten you?
Tell me!
This person harmed my daughter, I won’t let him get away with it!” Father Bai said through gritted teeth.
“Your daughter isn’t dead, but if you want to save her, only this gentleman can do it,” the doctor said.
What?
How is that possible?
The Bai Family members stared at Zheng Yan in utter disbelief.
Then, they turned to look questioningly at Xiaoli.
According to Xiaoli, Zheng Yan was nothing but a malicious charlatan and a huge liar!
“Professor Tang said it himself.
Could he be wrong?”
The doctor in the white coat said with dissatisfaction.
“Professor Tang said it himself?
Then it must be true!”
“Young master, I was wrong just now.
I beg you, please save my daughter!”
Father Bai’s body trembled as he instantly came to his senses.
He bowed towards Zheng Yan with a pleading expression.
“Wouldn’t it have been better to do this from the start?
What a waste of time.”
Zheng Yan hadn’t planned to stand by and do nothing anyway, so he nodded, stood up, and walked into the emergency room.
Seeing this, Bai Zhi’s parents quickly followed him.
“Dad!
Mom!”
Inside the emergency room, Bai Zhi’s eyes instantly reddened when she saw her parents appear.
“Alright, time is short.
The Gu Insect is about to burst out.
Everyone here needs to get out.”
Zheng Yan said bluntly.
“What do you mean?
Is there something about your treatment method that can’t be seen by others?” Yang Hao, who already disliked Zheng Yan, immediately clamored upon hearing his words.
“During the treatment, I need to observe the Gu Insect’s location.
Miss Bai will have to take off her top.”
