"Mei Jie, that means it will be difficult for me to investigate the Mu family," Li Se said with a wry smile. While the Ye family might not be difficult to deal with, the Mu family posed a significant challenge.
For Li Se always believed in the principle that the strong were respected.
The Mu family possessed ancient martial arts power. If there were true masters within the family, they would be extremely difficult to handle.
"It is a bit troublesome, as they are a top-tier aristocratic family with all members being ancient martial artists. It would be best to send some ancient martial artists over to investigate," Su Mei said.
Li Se smiled and shook his head, "No worries, Qilin and the others can handle it well!"
That night, Li Se slept holding Su Mei. They did not go further. He couldn't help it; Su Mei was on her period, making it impossible to fulfill his desires.
The next day, Li Se and Huang Shanshan arrived at the clinic. Li Se hadn't had time to come by for a while and now he had to properly attend to patients. After all, his main profession was a doctor, and not coming to the clinic would be neglecting his duties.
Nothing significant happened during the morning while Li Se was seeing patients. Wen Heqia, standing beside him, was diligently learning as if he were a student.
"Impressive, truly impressive," Wen Heqia exclaimed, full of admiration for Li Se's medical skills.
"Doctor! Doctor Wen!"
At that moment, a woman ran towards them. She was rather sweet-looking and not very old, appearing to be in her early twenties. The moment she saw Wen Heqia, she rushed over.
"Quickly come and treat my grandfather!" the woman said anxiously.
"What's happening?" Wen Heqia asked urgently.
"I'm not entirely sure, but my grandfather is in great pain. Doctor Wen, please come quickly," the woman pleaded, her eyes welling up with tears. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Wen Heqia hesitated for a moment before saying, "How about this, Doctor Li, you go with her? I suspect the condition is very serious, and you'll definitely be able to handle it."
"Can he do it?" the woman asked doubtfully.
"Don't worry, his medical skills are superior to mine!" Wen Heqia said with a smile.
"Miss, I'll go with you," Li Se said with a smile, naturally confident in his medical abilities.
"Alright!" The woman finally agreed after some hesitation.
About half an hour later, Li Se followed the woman to a villa.
"An'an, why did you find a young man? Didn't I tell you to invite Doctor Wen?" a middle-aged woman asked with a slight frown.
"Mom, he's the one Doctor Wen recommended," Zheng An'an replied.
The middle-aged woman glanced at Li Se and sneered, "Are you Doctor Wen's disciple?"
"No," Li Se shook his head, "Doctor Wen is my disciple!"
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman was momentarily stunned. However, she quickly furrowed her brows and said, "Nonsense, Doctor Wen was once an imperial physician. How can he be your disciple? You're quite amusing!"
"How about this, let me examine the patient. That shouldn't be a problem, right?" Li Se knew she didn't quite believe him, but he wasn't angered. After all, how many times had he been doubted as a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine?
"Yes, Mom, he's recommended by Doctor Wen, let him take a look," Zheng An'an quickly interjected.
The middle-aged woman showed a hint of hesitation, but just then, several people in white coats emerged from the room, all shaking their heads.
"Mrs. Zheng, we've done all we can. Please prepare for the funeral," the leading doctor sighed helplessly.
"Grandpa..." Zheng An'an cried uncontrollably.
The middle-aged woman also sighed without speaking.
However, they failed to notice that Li Se had already entered the room. After a brief examination of the elderly man, as he was about to speak, a doctor snapped, "Who are you? Who allowed you in here?"
"This kid is examining the patient!"
"This is ridiculous. He's even taking his pulse. Who does he think he is?"
"Get out!"
"..."
The doctors in white coats all shouted in reprimand.
The middle-aged woman, seeing Li Se examining the patient with proper procedure, was also quite annoyed. Just as she was about to say something, she seemed to hear Li Se say, "He can still be saved!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the doctors in white coats changed drastically.
"You can still treat my grandfather?" Zheng An'an asked excitedly.
"Yes!" Li Se nodded.
"Nonsense, this is utter nonsense!" A doctor in a white coat stepped forward, looking at Li Se with disdain. "We are all authorities in this field. The patient's organs have already atrophied and lost their vitality. How can you say he can still be saved? Who do you think you are, a celestial being?"
"I am not a celestial being, just a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine!" Li Se said calmly.
Traditional Chinese Medicine?
When these Western doctors heard the term "Traditional Chinese Medicine," they burst into laughter.
"My goodness, he claims to be a TCM practitioner?"
"What the heck, can TCM even treat illnesses?"
"I've seen TCM practitioners before, but they were all old doctors. At your age, you haven't even begun to learn the basics!"
"..."
These Western doctors all mocked Li Se.
The middle-aged woman clearly didn't believe Li Se either. She pointed to the door and said, "You should leave. I don't need a young TCM practitioner like you here!"
"Mom, just let him try, okay?" Zheng An'an couldn't help but say.
"An'an, you're still too young. This is a fraud!" the middle-aged woman stated with certainty.
"Don't believe me?"
Li Se smiled, "According to the Western medical diagnosis, it is indeed time to prepare for the funeral. Even in Traditional Chinese Medicine, the symptoms of 'Heavenly Man Five Declines' are present. However, this is a pseudo-Heavenly Man Five Declines. If treated with Traditional Chinese Medicine, he can live for at least another two to three years, no problem!"
The elder was too old; it was the natural law. However, he could still be treated. Even with Li Se's intervention, he could only extend the elder's life by two to three years at most.
"Can it really be done?" Zheng An'an was excited.
"Of course!" Li Se said confidently.
"Bullshit, that's complete bullshit!" the leading Western doctor retorted. "You're just trying to scam money. You say he can live for another two to three years. Are you implying that he needs to take your Chinese medicine during those two to three years?"
"Yes!" Li Se nodded.
"Heh, as expected!"
The Western doctor sneered, "Mrs. Zheng, this is a con artist. In simple terms, he's just trying to make you spend money continuously for the next two to three years by having the patient drink his Chinese medicine. He'll prescribe it for two to three years at once. You pay the money, and then he runs off. Within two days, the patient dies. Even if you catch him, he'll have plenty of excuses!"
He then looked at Li Se with a face full of mockery. "I've seen all your tricks. You're young, but you don't take the right path, and you dare to scam people here. Believe it or not, I'll call the police to arrest you?!"
