The crowd turned their gaze towards the emaciated middle-aged man.
He frowned slightly. "Kid, I'm perfectly healthy, there's nothing wrong with me! Stop talking nonsense."
Chen Fan ignored the middle-aged man and looked at Tian Yu, awaiting his reply.
Tian Yu glanced at the frail man, then sneered and nodded. "Alright, let me go first. I'll find some issues with him."
With that, Tian Yu approached the middle-aged man.
The reason he wanted to go first was to identify all the problems, so that Chen Fan would find nothing later, thus highlighting the gap between them.
Inspection, listening, questioning, and palpation – all these were naturally examined systematically. Then, Tian Yu also looked at the man's tongue coating and the whites of his eyes.
After observing and questioning for a few minutes, Tian Yu confidently grasped all the man's conditions and said to the crowd, "I have finished my examination. Dr. Wang's health is quite good. He just has some internal heat and a slightly inflamed tonsil, which can be treated with antibiotics. His eyes are a bit yellow, clearly due to too much work and lack of rest lately. A couple of days of rest will do him good."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yudong quickly gave Tian Yu a thumbs-up and flattered him, "Vice President Tian is indeed Vice President Tian. You've so quickly identified my ailments and provided a solution. I am truly impressed!"
Tian Yu appeared very pleased, holding his head high, and glanced at Chen Fan. "Kid, it's your turn. I'm eager to see what problems you can find with Dr. Wang."
"Director Chen, you can do it!"
The young surgeons standing behind them cheered Chen Fan on.
After all, they knew that Dr. Zheng Hairong's future rested entirely on Chen Fan.
However, Zheng Hairong showed no worry, as he had full confidence in Chen Fan and was not concerned about him losing this competition.
Chen Fan took a few steps forward and stood before Wang Yudong.
Wang Yudong gave Chen Fan a mocking look. "Director Chen, I've already explained my situation. So, I have nothing more to say."
After speaking, Wang Yudong fell silent, clearly intending to make things difficult for Chen Fan.
Just as the medical staff at the psychiatric hospital began to feel indignant, Chen Fan waved his hand a few times with an expression of disgust.
"What do you mean by that?" Wang Yudong asked, displeased.
Chen Fan took a step back, still looking disgusted. "Dr. Wang, please keep your mouth shut. It's too smelly, like swill."
Wang Yudong immediately became furious, pointing at Chen Fan and shouting, "You're doing this on purpose, aren't you!"
Chen Fan asked in confusion, "How am I doing this on purpose? Your breath smells, which clearly indicates a poor spleen and stomach. Bad breath is also an illness, and it needs treatment!"
With that, Chen Fan took out a few silver needles from his pocket.
When Wang Yudong saw the silver needles in Chen Fan's hand, his eyes widened in shock. "Kid, what are you doing?"
Chen Fan replied, "Of course, I'm here to treat you. Didn't I say earlier that not only would I diagnose your illness, but I would also cure it."
"No need! Who knows if you can even do acupuncture? What if you make things worse? Who will be responsible!" Wang Yudong felt a chill run down his spine.
Chen Fan looked at Tian Yu. "Vice President Tian, what should I do if the patient is uncooperative? As a doctor, I will naturally take responsibility for my actions. And for a doctor to be afraid of seeking treatment, that's not a characteristic a doctor should have."
Tian Yu frowned slightly upon hearing Chen Fan's words. He found himself unable to refute Chen Fan's statement.
Finally, he relented. "Dr. Wang, let him insert a few needles."
"Ah?!" Wang Yudong's face turned pale instantly.
Chen Fan's lips curved upwards as he looked at Wang Yudong. "Your Vice President has given his consent. Dr. Wang, let's begin."
Wang Yudong's face darkened, and he glared at Chen Fan, threatening, "Kid, be careful. If you dare to mess around, I will never let you off!"
Chen Fan smiled calmly and instructed Zheng Hairong to bring a chair, then asked Wang Yudong to sit down.
As soon as Wang Yudong sat on the chair, Chen Fan's silver needle landed on his neck.
It felt like an ant bite, not very painful, which made Wang Yudong relax slightly.
However, just then, Chen Fan inserted another needle.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, a shrill scream escaped Wang Yudong's lips.
The intense pain made Wang Yudong's veins bulge, looking terrifying.
"Kid, what are you doing!" Tian Yu immediately pointed at Chen Fan and roared.
Chen Fan, however, said with a calm demeanor, "Of course, I'm treating him. Don't worry, I guarantee he'll be fine."
Tian Yu, who had been about to intervene, stopped when he heard Chen Fan's assurance.
After all, although Wang Yudong had screamed, he hadn't stood up or said anything else.
Chen Fan took out another silver needle and inserted it into Wang Yudong's body.
"Ah!"
Another scream rang out.
Wang Yudong glared at Chen Fan with furious eyes, wishing he could stand up and strangle Chen Fan right then and there!
It wasn't that he didn't want to stand up or curse Chen Fan; it was that he discovered after Chen Fan's needle insertion, his whole body felt numb, and even the root of his tongue was so numb he couldn't speak.
So, all he could do was glare at Chen Fan in anger.
"Dr. Wang, if you're alright, I'll continue," Chen Fan said as he inserted another needle into Wang Yudong.
"Ah!"
Wang Yudong's tears streamed down his cheeks from the pain. He deeply regretted it now.
But he was still helpless, letting out screams, and could only sit there obediently and await Chen Fan's torment.
"Wow, this Dr. Wang has strong willpower."
"Yes, he screams in pain with every needle Chen Fan inserts, but he endures it. Look at him, he's even crying but hasn't stood up!"
At this moment, the murmurs from the crowd reached Wang Yudong's ears.
Hearing these voices, Wang Yudong felt like dying. It wasn't that he didn't want to stand up; it was that his body wouldn't allow it!
"Shuran, everyone, step back." Chen Fan, preparing to insert another needle, instructed Qin Shuran and the others.
Qin Shuran and the others quickly retreated a short distance.
Just as Tian Yu and the others looked on in confusion, Chen Fan covered his nose and inserted the needle.
"Hic!"
"Pfft!"
Suddenly, Wang Yudong released gas from both ends simultaneously, and the sound was long, lasting for a full ten seconds before stopping.
Chen Fan quickly stepped back, avoiding the foul gas.
However, Tian Yu and the others, caught completely off guard, suddenly widened their eyes, and a churning sensation rose from their stomachs.
