Chapter 398 Is It You?
"Grandfather, are you saying that the person who called you just now is the divine doctor who passed down his alchemy techniques to you?"
Lu Jian heard the meaning in Divine Doctor Lu's words and blinked.
"Precisely!"
"It's only right for our Lu family to give gifts to such a person, but isn't this gift too heavy?"
Lu Jian was somewhat unconvinced.
In the Lu family, only he studied medicine. All of Divine Doctor Lu's assets would surely be passed down to him. Now that Divine Doctor Lu had given everything away, was he supposed to be left to fend for himself?
"I only learned a smattering of things from Mr. Chen."
Divine Doctor Lu showed some disdain, "If we can latch onto this person, won't our Lu family have whatever we want in the future?"
Chen Xuan's arrival in the provincial capital would inevitably sweep through the entire city like a hurricane, and the Lu family could ride the wind and waves, soaring to new heights!
Lu Jian listened in a daze, but he also understood one thing: he had to curry favor with this Mr. Chen!
In the afternoon, after Chen Xuan finished lunch, he drove to Renxin Medical Hall according to the address sent by Divine Doctor Lu.
Renxin Medical Hall was located in the city center, the most prosperous area of the provincial capital. It occupied a large area, enough to build a small office building or a shopping mall, yet here stood a three-story medical hall.
The medical hall was decorated in an antique style, quite elegant, and it seemed that a lot of effort had been put into its renovation.
"I didn't expect this medical hall to be so large. It probably cost over a hundred million."
Chen Xuan let out a bitter smile. He had thought it was just a slightly larger medical hall, but he hadn't expected it to be this grand.
Chen Xuan strode into the medical hall.
The first floor was broadly divided into several areas.
The reception area, which was the front desk.
There was also the charging area, the consultation area, and the pharmacy.
The consultation area, in particular, was divided into independent cubicles, with four or five Chinese medicine practitioners on duty, seeing patients. There were also people queuing up, indicating good business.
Renxin Medical Hall was very professional and high-end overall.
Chen Xuan walked directly to the front desk.
A beautiful woman in a white coat and a medical mask at the front desk saw Chen Xuan and quickly stood up, showing a sweet professional smile, "Sir, are you here for a consultation or for massage and acupuncture?"
"Looking for someone."
"Who are you looking for?"
"Looking for Divine Doctor Lu," Chen Xuan said with a smile.
Clearly, Divine Doctor Lu had made arrangements. Hearing that Chen Xuan was looking for Divine Doctor Lu, the receptionist became even more enthusiastic, "Sir, our Divine Doctor Lu has a patient he needs to see temporarily and has asked someone else to receive you. I'll go inform them. Please wait over there for a moment."
"Go ahead."
Chen Xuan nodded lightly, turned, and found a place to sit. Soon, someone served him a cup of fragrant tea.
From the aroma of the tea, Chen Xuan could tell that it was not cheap.
"Ouch! It hurts so much!"
"Help!"
Just then, a groan of pain sounded, followed by two burly men with tattoos on their bodies, supporting an old woman, walked in.
The old woman was in great pain, and large beads of sweat were on her forehead.
"Quick, someone, save my mother!"
"Where is everyone! Someone is dying!"
As soon as they entered, the two burly men began to shout anxiously.
Perhaps it was the doctor's duty, but Chen Xuan instinctively wanted to stand up to treat the patient. However, when his gaze swept over the old woman, he frowned. After a moment, he showed a meaningful smile and sat back down.
The voices of the burly men instantly attracted the attention of the medical staff at Renxin Medical Hall. An old man wearing black-rimmed glasses and a gray and white Tang suit came out and said, "Quick, come here, let me feel your pulse."
The burly men supported the old woman and walked over, sitting on the stool in front of the gray and white old man. They instructed, "Doctor, you must save my mother!"
Chen Xuan pondered for a moment and then walked over.
"Don't worry, as long as you come to Renxin Medical Hall, we will do our best."
The old man in the gray and white Tang suit reached out to feel the old woman's pulse. After a moment, he withdrew his hand.
One of the burly men hurriedly asked, "How is my mother? Is she alright?"
"It's nothing serious. Your mother's illness is just excessive liver fire, spleen deficiency, and lung heat. I'll give her a few acupuncture treatments and prescribe a few doses of medicine, and she'll be cured," the old man in the gray and white Tang suit said with a smile.
"Quick, quick!"
At the urging of the burly men, the old man in the gray and white Tang suit took out acupuncture needles. After disinfection, he prepared to perform acupuncture on the old woman.
Watching this scene, the two burly men curled their lips.
Just as the old man in the gray and white Tang suit's acupuncture needle was about to fall, Chen Xuan stepped forward and grabbed the old man's arm, "Old sir, please wait!"
"What's wrong?"
The old man in the gray and white Tang suit was startled and turned to look at Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan smiled and said, "Old sir, isn't it inappropriate to perform acupuncture like this?"
"Does this young gentleman also understand Chinese medicine?"
The old man in the gray and white Tang suit sized up Chen Xuan, showing a hint of suspicion.
"The symptoms of excessive liver fire, spleen deficiency, and lung heat are redness of the eyes, tinnitus, deafness, mouth and tongue sores, swollen gums, and abdominal pain. What you said is indeed correct, but have you noticed if her pulse is smooth?"
Chen Xuan smiled faintly and stared at the old man in the gray and white Tang suit.
"That's right! Normally, the pulse for excessive liver fire, spleen deficiency, and lung heat should be very smooth, but this old woman's pulse is a bit strange."
The old man in the gray and white Tang suit was stunned. It seemed like he remembered something, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
But if it wasn't excessive liver fire, spleen deficiency, and lung heat, what else could it be?
Although Chen Xuan was young, what he said made a lot of sense, and the old man had to consider it.
Just then, the old woman felt even more uncomfortable, "Oh, it's so uncomfortable!"
"Are you capable or not! Hurry up and treat my mother, or I'll kill you now!"
"Get lost if you don't understand, you punk. Do you know medicine? If not, then scram."
The two burly men walked over. One applied pressure to the old man in the gray and white Tang suit, while the other pushed Chen Xuan away, seemingly annoyed by his meddling.
The old man in the gray and white Tang suit was in a dilemma.
"You old geezer! Can you treat my mother or not!"
The burly man angrily slapped the old man in the gray and white Tang suit.
"You dare to hit me?" The old man in the gray and white Tang suit was so angry his nose was crooked.
"What's wrong with me hitting you? If you can't cure my mother, I'll kill you!" the burly man roared.
The old man in the gray and white Tang suit's old face turned red. He took a breath and picked up the acupuncture needles, but for some reason, Chen Xuan's words kept flashing in his mind, preventing him from inserting them.
"What's going on? Why is it so chaotic?"
Just then, Lu Jian, led by the young receptionist, walked over.
When Chen Xuan saw Lu Jian, he frowned. He hadn't expected Divine Doctor Lu to have Lu Jian receive him.
Seeing Lu Jian, the old man in the gray and white Tang suit found his anchor and immediately stood up, "Young Divine Doctor Lu, the situation is like this. I just felt the pulse of this old woman and thought her condition was excessive liver fire, spleen deficiency, and lung heat. I was about to perform acupuncture, but when I was about to do so, this gentleman stopped me and said that this old woman did not have excessive liver fire, spleen deficiency, and lung heat."
"I'm a bit unsure."
Saying this, the old man in the gray and white Tang suit pointed at Chen Xuan.
Lu Jian looked in the direction the old man in the gray and white Tang suit was pointing. When he saw Chen Xuan, he was like a startled chicken and roared, "Punk, why are you here?"
"I..."
Chen Xuan chuckled. Before he could finish speaking, the young receptionist standing next to Lu Jian interrupted him, "Young Divine Doctor Lu, this gentleman is the esteemed guest you are waiting for."
"Ah? It's you?"
Lu Jian was stunned, his eyes fixed on Chen Xuan, his eyes filled with shock.
