“How much certainty do you have?” Xiao Wenbin asked urgently.
“I only have a thirty percent chance of being able to cure Elder Xiao!” Divine Physician Yan stated.
Hearing this, Xiao Wenbin’s brows furrowed deeply.
Thirty percent chance, far too low!
However, Xiao Wenbin had no other recourse.
“Don’t worry!”
Divine Physician Yan sneered and said to Xiao Wenbin, “I have a thirty percent chance, while that brat Jiang Yi likely has at most a ten percent chance. If even I can’t cure Elder Xiao, Jiang Yi certainly won’t be able to.”
Xiao Wenbin nodded.
Earlier, Xiao Wenbin had been somewhat worried, but after hearing Divine Physician Yan’s analysis, his worries vanished, replaced by smugness.
“Jiang Yi, it’s your turn!” Xiao Cuiying looked at Jiang Yi.
“Mm.”
Jiang Yi responded and then followed Xiao Defu upstairs.
Soon, Jiang Yi arrived in Elder Xiao’s room.
He saw an old man with a head full of white hair lying on the bed, his eyes tightly shut. The entire person looked like a stone sculpture, unmoving.
He appeared utterly lifeless!
Without a doubt, this old man was Elder Xiao.
“Begin!”
Xiao Defu said to Jiang Yi flatly, “Divine Physician Yan took an hour just now. You also have only one hour for your diagnosis. After one hour, you must leave the ward.”
Xiao Defu was deliberately making things difficult for Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi didn’t take it to heart.
The so-called diagnosis was about identifying the patient’s illness.
This was not a difficult task for Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi could diagnose it without needing an entire hour.
Walking to the bedside, Jiang Yi sat down on a chair and began his diagnosis.
Three minutes later, Jiang Yi stopped.
Jiang Yi had already found the cause of Elder Xiao’s illness.
Elder Xiao had fallen into this state due to poisoning.
Over twenty years, these toxins had continuously eroded his body, pushing it to the brink of death.
If he had been left for another year, Elder Xiao would certainly have perished.
To cure Elder Xiao, it was necessary to detoxify him.
With the toxins having been in his body for so many years, they were difficult to remove.
This was a significant challenge.
For Jiang Yi, it was not particularly difficult.
“I’m done, let’s go!” Jiang Yi said to Xiao Defu.
Xiao Defu was stunned by this.
After a long moment, Xiao Defu finally regained his senses.
“Jiang Yi, it seems you truly are an incompetent doctor. How could you diagnose the Elder’s condition in just three minutes? You must be unable to diagnose it, so you’ve given up and don’t want to stay here and be further humiliated,” Xiao Defu said with a cold laugh.
Jiang Yi ignored Xiao Defu.
Seeing that Jiang Yi wasn’t responding, Xiao Defu assumed his guess was correct, a smug smile gracing his face.
Everyone else was waiting in the hall.
Seeing Jiang Yi descend from upstairs in just a few minutes, they all frowned.
“Jiang Yi, what’s going on?” Xiao Jianren asked Jiang Yi.
As Jiang Yi was about to speak, Xiao Wenbin interjected first, “Does this even need asking? Jiang Yi definitely couldn’t find the Elder’s illness and was helpless against his condition, so he had to give up.”
These words caused Xiao Jianren’s face to darken immediately.
“It’s over!”
Xiao Jianren took a deep breath and said to Jiang Yi, “It seems your medical skills are still lacking. I bet all my chips on you, and now it’s all ruined!” Su Dan Novel Network
Xiao Jianren was extremely dejected.
“Jiang Yi, do you have no way at all?” Xiao Cuiying asked Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi smiled slightly.
“What are you smiling about? You can still smile at a time like this?”
Xiao Cuiying’s face began to turn grim.
Xiao Cuiying felt that Jiang Yi was treating the matter as a joke, and she immediately became somewhat angry.
“Don’t worry! I’ve already diagnosed the cause of the Elder’s illness!” Jiang Yi said.
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at Jiang Yi with doubt.
In their eyes, Jiang Yi was boasting.
In just a few minutes, it was impossible to diagnose the Elder’s condition.
“Jiang Yi, this is not a laughing matter!” Xiao Cuiying reminded Jiang Yi.
“I’m not joking,” Jiang Yi replied.
Xiao Cuiying and Xiao Jianren still didn’t believe Jiang Yi possessed such ability.
“You don’t believe me?” Jiang Yi asked with a smile.
“We want to believe you, but how can we? Divine Physician Yan took over an hour to diagnose, while you only took a few minutes. How could you possibly diagnose the cause of the illness in just a few minutes?” Xiao Jianren’s tone was laced with anger.
Jiang Yi shrugged his shoulders.
“It seems no matter what I say, you won’t believe me. How about this! Wait until I cure Elder Xiao, and then you’ll naturally believe me!” Jiang Yi said with a slight smile.
Xiao Cuiying sighed deeply.
Xiao Jianren, however, was crestfallen.
No one present held out any hope for Jiang Yi.
Especially Xiao Cuiying, she felt Jiang Yi was glib-tongued and completely untrustworthy.
“It’s getting late, everyone can disperse!”
Xiao Cuiying announced, “Tomorrow morning, Jiang Yi and Divine Physician Yan will bring the prepared medicines.”
The others said nothing more and successively left the old residence.
Xiao Defu, Xiao Wenbin, Divine Physician Yan, and Jiang Yi remained.
Both sides were wary of the other plotting something, so they all stayed in the old residence.
Jiang Yi took a sip of tea and then left the hall.
As soon as he stepped out of the main hall, Xiao Jianren caught up.
“Jiang Yi, I no longer have any hope for you! I plan to solve this matter in my own way!”
Xiao Jianren said, “If you can’t cure the Elder, I won’t let Divine Physician Yan cure him. If I can’t get the position of family head, then Xiao Wenbin shouldn’t dream of getting it either.”
“Young Master, you cannot act recklessly!” Jiang Yi’s brows furrowed.
“I have no other choice,” Xiao Jianren took a deep breath.
“You must believe me!”
Jiang Yi looked at Xiao Jianren and said persuasively, “I will definitely be able to cure Elder Xiao. If I fail, you can punish me however you wish. The only thing you can do now is believe me.”
Hearing this, Xiao Jianren began to hesitate.
Although Xiao Jianren wasn’t particularly sharp, he was cautious in his actions.
“I’ll see your performance tomorrow. If you mess it up, I won’t spare you!”
After speaking, Xiao Jianren turned and left the courtyard.
Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows, preparing to drive out to get something to eat.
However, just as he reached the entrance of the old residence, Ye Yanran and Xiao Cuiying walked over.
“You cannot leave!”
Xiao Cuiying blocked Jiang Yi. “Xiao Defu and Xiao Wenbin have despicable methods. If anything happens to you, we will have no chance of winning at all. Before this matter is resolved, you are not to go anywhere, just stay in the villa.”
