Arrogant!
So arrogant!
He dared to claim his medical skills were worlds apart from Hao Ming’s?
The people in the room could no longer suppress their anger.
"Get out, is this a place for you to run wild?"
"Go look in a puddle, who do you think you are!"
...
"Enough!"
Nan Zi'an’s sharp voice silenced the crowd’s indignation.
"Don't you see the old man is still lying here? What are you making a fuss about?"
The Nan family members stopped their shouting, but their gazes towards Chu Fan became even more disgusted.
Qin Xue’s expression was grim, and she wanted to say something but held back.
At this moment, she regretted bringing him here.
Hao Ming was the old man’s dedicated physician. If he angered him, what would happen if he stopped serving the old man in the future?
Nan Bai Xuan looked on with schadenfreude.
Her original intention was to test if Chu Fan was still as arrogant as before.
She hadn't expected him to be so brainless, daring to disregard Hao Ming.
Next, there would be a good show to watch!
Nan Bai Xuan could already imagine Chu Fan becoming public enemy number one in the Nan family. Even with her mother’s current status, it would be difficult to protect him.
Expulsion from Shan Hai City was surely imminent.
Hao Ming truly hadn’t expected the young man before him to be so arrogant.
"Good, very good!"
"I've lived for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen someone dare to say my medical skills were worlds apart from his."
"Young man, you say Xiu Ming was poisoned. Then tell me, what poison did he ingest?"
Chu Fan shook his head. "I don't know what poison he ingested, but I know he was poisoned."
A ripple of murmurs spread through the room.
The Nan family members all rolled their eyes.
How could a person be so shameless?
He clearly stated his medical skills were far superior to Hao Ming’s, yet when asked what poison the old man had ingested, he couldn’t say.
He was just seeking attention.
The Nan family believed Chu Fan was doing this to gain attention.
He was deliberately belittling Hao Ming to make himself seem unique.
Seeking attention was understandable.
Young people, with their uninhibited personalities, liking to show off was not entirely unreasonable.
However, was this competition appropriate?
"Hmph!"
Hao Ming's face showed clear displeasure. He was certain Chu Fan was talking nonsense.
He wouldn't let this go, not after being spoken to like that.
He didn't know Chu Fan's background, but even if he did, he wouldn't let him off.
His reputation, painstakingly built over decades, couldn't be turned into a laughingstock of Shan Hai City by such an arrogant and ignorant young man.
"Young man, shall we make a bet?"
"You say Xiu Ming was poisoned, but I don't believe he was. Now we just have to wait for Divine Doctor Luo to decide."
"If Xiu Ming was indeed poisoned, I, Hao Ming, will kneel down and kowtow to you today, and you can take me as your disciple."
"However, if Xiu Ming was not poisoned, you must kneel down to me, crawl out of here like a dog to the outer gate of the old residence, barking as you crawl."
Chu Fan shook his head.
"I'm sorry, you are not worthy of being my disciple!"
What?
Hao Ming’s face immediately turned red, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood.
He was the former director of Shan Hai City People’s Hospital, having saved tens of thousands of lives, and he was not worthy?
The Nan family’s eyes bulged out as if they would pop out of their sockets.
They really wanted to ask Qin Xue, was her nephew truly sick?
"However, since you insist on humiliating yourself, I will grant your wish!"
"If you lose, you will also crawl out of here like a dog, barking as you crawl."
Hao Ming, whose pride was immense, gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger, saying, "Fine!"
His experience told him that Nan Xiu Ming absolutely could not have been poisoned.
As a doctor, he was well aware of the complexity of the human body.
Especially the brain; even the compression of a single nerve could cause symptoms like Nan Xiu Ming’s.
Based on the information he had gathered earlier, Nan Xiu Ming’s head had landed first when he fell, and there were clear signs of impact on his head.
Furthermore, he had just conducted various examinations using instruments, and no toxins had been detected.
Therefore, he concluded that Nan Xiu Ming's unconscious state was clearly due to head trauma.
"Xiao Fan, don't be ridiculous!"
Qin Xue walked over, looking at Chu Fan with helplessness.
She knew very well how capable Hao Ming was. He had been conducting examinations before they arrived; if the old man had truly been poisoned, it was impossible that he wouldn't have found it.
Chu Fan hadn't touched him, just looked at him from a distance and declared the old man poisoned without any evidence.
Anyone else, she wouldn't have bothered.
But Chu Fan, she didn't want him to be ridiculed.
She knew that the Nan family's current respect for her was due to her holding Yu Xue Pharmaceutical and her good relationships with friends and the Five Great War Emperors.
However, people’s true nature was hard to change.
The Nan family still wanted to see her embarrassed.
Chu Fan smiled calmly, "Aunt, it's not me making a fuss; it's him who wants to make a fuss with me!"
"Hmph!"
Hao Ming’s face was full of displeasure. He looked at Qin Xue and said, "Qin Xue, this is between him and me. You shouldn't interfere."
Nan Zi Yun, who had long wanted to retaliate against Chu Fan, also stepped forward.
"Sister-in-law, you shouldn't get involved in this matter!"
"Director Hao and Chu Fan are competing in medical skills, not fooling around!"
Qin Xue could not refute them.
Nan Zi'an walked over to comfort her, his gaze towards Chu Fan equally filled with helplessness.
He had long witnessed Chu Fan speaking without thinking, and he had reminded him more than once to think before speaking, but it was useless.
Chu Fan was, in a way, his nephew. If he wouldn't listen to advice and insisted on humiliating himself, Nan Zi'an couldn't be bothered to interfere further.
Some people would never turn back until they hit a brick wall.
Only when they truly felt the pain would they realize if their actions were right or wrong.
"Divine Doctor Luo is here!"
A shout came from outside.
Everyone eagerly rushed towards the entrance to welcome him.
Luo Wu Wen was escorted into the room by the crowd. Chu Fan, an outsider, was pushed to the periphery.
Although Hao Ming’s attention was on Luo Wu Wen, his eyes occasionally flickered towards Chu Fan, ensuring he didn't slip away in the commotion.
Luo Wu Wen, having a general understanding of Nan Xiu Ming's condition when he fainted, began a thorough examination.
Soon, his brow furrowed.
He had never encountered Nan Xiu Ming’s condition before.
"Divine Doctor Luo, Xiu Ming might have intracranial bleeding, pressing on the nerves."
"Look, there's an injury here!"
Hao Ming proactively guided Luo Wu Wen’s examination.
After carefully observing again, Luo Wu Wen nodded and said, "This should be the reason. Besides this, I can't think of any other reason for him to be like this."
Instantly, most of the eyes in the room focused on Chu Fan.
The implication was clear: Kid, it's time for you to kneel and crawl out barking like a dog.
Qin Xue was the only one present who didn't want Chu Fan to be disgraced. She leaned in and whispered, "Divine Doctor Luo, could you examine him more thoroughly?"
"Old man, could he possibly have been poisoned?"
Medical professionals, especially those with absolute confidence in their own skills, detested outside questioning.
Luo Wu Wen’s brow furrowed slightly, and with displeasure, he retorted to Qin Xue, "Are you implying that I misdiagnosed?"
"No, no, no, Divine Doctor Luo, you misunderstand. How could I dare to question your medical skills?"
Qin Xue was flustered.
"It's just, it's just..."
At this point, she was in a difficult position, completely unsure how to explain.
The Nan family could not afford to offend Luo Wu Wen, or rather, they were unwilling to offend him.
Falling out with someone like him would be digging their own grave.
After all, who didn't get sick nowadays?
"Just what?"
Luo Wu Wen was becoming impatient.
"Someone said my grandfather was poisoned!" Nan Bai Xuan interjected.
"Hah!"
Luo Wu Wen let out a cold laugh. "Nonsense. Who said he was poisoned? Let me see!"
"I did!"
