Urban Invincible Medical Divine

Chapter 306: Chapter 242: Hiring a Divine Doctor_2

“Mr. Wang, I am an old acquaintance of Elder Wang—I will do my utmost.” Elder Gu, the divine doctor, said solemnly, nodding in agreement.

The masked girl moved a chair over to Elder Wang’s bedside, her lips slightly parted, “Grandfather, please.”

Her voice was very cold, almost exactly as Wentian had imagined.

Elder Gu nodded and sat down, and the girl took a cushion from the box she was carrying and placed Elder Wang’s emaciated wrist on it.

Elder Gu placed his fingers on it, taking Elder Wang’s pulse.

For a time, the scene was silent.

The members of the Wang family were all extremely tense, yet dared not speak a half-word for fear of disturbing the divine doctor’s pulse reading.

Out of boredom, Wentian watched Elder Gu’s three fingers on Elder Wang’s wrist, then nodded slightly; the old man truly had skill.

To a layman, taking a pulse may seem to be just placing the fingers at random on the wrist to feel the patient’s pulse, but in fact, it is far more meticulous. The index finger, middle finger, and ring finger are not merely placed idly, but must cooperate with each other, performing skillful, slight pressures to obtain feedback from the patient’s body.

By this time, Elder Gu’s pulse-taking technique, in Wentian’s view, had definitely reached a level of proficiency.

Of course, if this assessment were understood by people in the field of traditional medicine, they would probably curse him out or even exchange harsh words. Elder Gu, a longstanding luminary, is a pillar of the traditional medicine community today. How could he be judged by you!

And besides, the assessment was merely that he had a degree of skill!

This pulse-taking lasted nearly 10 minutes before Elder Gu finally lifted his fingers and sighed, “Mr. Wang, I’m truly sorry. This time I’m willing but powerless. Elder Wang is now burnt out, and I am helpless.”

As soon as Elder Gu spoke, the expression of everyone from the Wang family changed drastically, and Wang Baiyun’s face turned an ashen purple as he fell seated on the ground.

Wang Weilun’s body swayed a few times, his face looking awful, and said, “Elder Gu, could you please check again, or think of another solution?? Your medical skills are superb, how can there be an illness in this world that you can’t cure!!”

Seeing the other party forcefully flattering him, Elder Gu gave a bitter smile and said,

“Mr. Wang, if there was even a thread of chance, I would never say I’m willing but powerless. Elder Wang had been diagnosed with ‘ALS’ before, and if I’m not mistaken, he was treated with the new American drug res, which you may not understand actually depletes the body’s life force to maintain bodily functions. Now, Elder Wang’s vitality is completely ruined, and I am truly powerless.”

Director Luo’s face revealed an extremely terrified expression upon hearing this, not expecting that the cause was the use of that new drug—he was the one who had provided that drug to Elder Wang!

With such a statement, how could the Wang family let him off.

Indeed, at this moment, all the members of the Wang family were glaring at him with rage, as if they wanted to tear him to pieces.

At this moment, Wentian spoke up.

He smiled lightly and said, “Actually, you don’t need to blame this man. If it weren’t for him administering that medicine to Elder Wang, then Elder Wang might not even have lasted until tonight. Besides, even if it was just ‘ALS’, could this esteemed doctor cure it?”

Upon hearing this, Elder Gu’s face turned somewhat awkward, but he still said, “This young man is right. ‘ALS’ is one of the top five incurable diseases in the world, and I actually don’t have much understanding of it either. To cure this disease, the chances are very slim.”

Director Luo, seeing Wentian unexpectedly speaking in his defense, felt a bit remorseful for his previous aggressive words towards Wentian, his face filled with gratitude, about to speak, but Wentian stopped him with a gesture,

“No need to thank me, I was just stating the facts. The words you just said to me, I will still severely reprove you!!”

“Uh…”

Director Luo’s face turned awkward, and then somewhat puzzled, wondering what Wentian meant by ‘striking his own face.’ Could it be, despite Elder Gu saying that Elder Wang was beyond help, this young man still wanted to try his hand?

Wasn’t that just asking for criticism!?

“What kind of tone is that? Just because my grandfather can’t cure him, you think you can??”

The girl in the veil, hearing Wentian’s words showing no respect for her grandfather, couldn’t help but get a bit angry, her voice cold as if to freeze someone solid.

“Yes, I can cure him. Since he can’t, then it’s my turn,” Wentian looked at the masked girl, said with a light smile.

As soon as he spoke, everyone in the room was somewhat stunned, then became a bit agitated.

Elder Gu, the divine doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, himself has said that he is willing but powerless, and yet this youngster still spouts nonsense here, acting like he’s stirring up trouble on the emperor’s head, as if he’s tired of living!

If it weren’t for Elder Wang’s incident today causing chaos, any fraudster daring to swindle at the Wang Family would have been severely dealt with at once!

A youth shouted angrily, “Young man, have you had enough?? My grandpa is already in such a state, and yet you fucking dare to come here and create trouble. Do you believe I could make one phone call and throw you in jail, making you never see the light of day again??”

The Wang Family all glared at Liu Wentian angrily; Wang Baiyun looked hopelessly at his grandpa who appeared like a dead body, paying no heed to Liu Wentian.

Wang Weilun’s face also bore unrestrainable fury, as if he wanted to tear Liu Wentian apart, about to order someone to take Liu Wentian directly to Jing Ju, but Elder Gu, the divine doctor, spoke up.

“Young man, do you really think, in Elder Wang’s current condition, that you can cure him?” Elder Gu’s face looked very unpleasant as he spoke.

Even with his good temperament, he was infuriated at this moment!

Nowadays, across all of Huaxia, there were few who dared to question his diagnosis, let alone such a young man in his early twenties!

He had declared a depletion of vitality, unable and powerless, yet this young man insisted he could cure it, even claiming if Elder Gu couldn’t, he could!@@novelbin@@

It was absolutely despicable, a brash young man, even if he were a prodigy in a competition, his medical skills couldn’t possibly surpass his own!

Liu Wentian nodded again, very casually, saying, “Of course I can cure him, otherwise, why would I be here?”

“How do you plan to treat him?” Elder Gu took a deep breath, barely holding back his anger as he spoke.

“Traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture treatment,” Liu Wentian replied.

“Very well! Traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture!!”

Elder Gu was clearly infuriated by Liu Wentian’s response; had Liu Wentian mentioned having some advanced medicine for treatment, Elder Gu might not have been so angry.

But traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture was precisely Elder Gu’s forte, and he himself was a master of Chinese medicine and acupuncture. Now, he said it was untreatable, and yet Liu Wentian actually claimed he could use acupuncture to cure!

Was this not tantamount to saying that the other party’s traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture skills were stronger than his?

Such words from a young man in his early twenties, were simply an insult to him!

He looked towards Wang Weilun and said, “Mr. Wang, since this young man is so confident, why not let him have a try?”

Wang Weilun was clearly reluctant, but since Elder Gu had spoken, he didn’t feel right to refuse. If this youngster were to mess up, he believed Elder Gu could stop him immediately.

“Alright, let him give it a shot,” Wang Weilun said.

Liu Wentian smiled, not caring about the distrust in the other’s tone. He was about to approach the bed, then suddenly turned, looking towards a cold-masked woman, and smiled, “Don’t you believe I can cure Elder Wang?”

“Of course not!” the masked woman bluntly replied.

“In that case, why don’t we make a bet, shall we?” Liu Wentian smiled slyly, like a big bad wolf luring a little white rabbit.

“What do you want to bet?” the masked woman frowned slightly, a hint of wariness in her eyes.

Liu Wentian smiled and said, “Don’t worry, my demand is just that, if I win, you take off your veil and let me see what you look like, okay?”

He was indeed curious—a woman wearing a hood and veil, with a particularly pleasant fragrance, beautiful and cold eyes, and an icy demeanor. He couldn’t understand what her face might look like.

Upon hearing his words, the woman trembled, her voice turning colder, her eyes showing more disgust, “You really want to see?”

Liu Wentian found her reaction somewhat puzzling, but still, said, “Yes.”

“If you fail to cure Elder Wang’s illness, then you’ll slap yourself three times, yelling at me ‘Granny, I’m just a fool, please forgive me.’ How about that, no problem, right?” the masked woman said.

Liu Wentian’s mouth twitched, damn, this woman, really ruthless. He was just curious to see her face, was it necessary to play like this!
