"Hmph, Xie Yun, Xie Yun, I never thought you were this kind of person!"
Huang Junjie put on a serious expression, looking like a righteous knight errant.
"Old Master Zheng, please listen to my explanation. I would absolutely never use spoiled medicinal herbs to treat you!"
At this moment, Xie Yun was almost speechless and could only cast her gaze towards Old Master Zheng in the wooden tub.
However, with just one glance, Xie Yun was stunned again.
She saw that Old Master Zheng in the wooden tub now had his eyes tightly shut, and his breathing had become extremely weak.
"This is bad! The Old Master's breathing is weakening."
Seeing this, Xie Yun immediately panicked.
At this moment, she seemed to foresee that the entire Xie family would be ruined by her hands.
"Xie Yun, Xie Yun, it's over, you're completely finished!"
When Huang Junjie saw this, he was overjoyed inwardly, but he still pretended to look very heartbroken.
"No one move, I'll go call the doctors from my emergency room to come and save him immediately!"
After saying this, Huang Junjie turned and walked out.
As soon as he stepped out of the room, a group of leaders outside immediately rushed forward, led by the vice-dean.
"What's going on?"
The vice-dean rushed into the office, his expression full of anxiety.
"Vice-dean, Old Master Zheng fainted in the medicinal bath, and his breathing is very weak!"
Seeing the vice-dean, Huang Junjie quickly began to complain.
In his opinion, now that Xie Yun had caused problems while treating Old Master Zheng, she would be doomed!

At that time, if he stepped in to save the day, he would definitely win Xie Yun's unwavering devotion!
"What? Fainted?"
Upon hearing this, the vice-dean almost fainted from fright.
Heaven knows, if Old Master Zheng were to have any accident here, how could he, the vice-dean, possibly survive?
"Hurry and save him! Don't just stand there, start the rescue immediately!"
The vice-dean was so anxious that he was tearing at his hair and clothes, shouting orders at the doctors around him.
"Wait! Don't make a sound!"
However, just as a group of doctors were about to step forward, Lin Chen suddenly stood out and stopped all of them.
"What do you mean? Are you going to stand by and watch Old Master Zheng have an accident?"
Seeing Lin Chen's stance, Huang Junjie was almost so happy he could jump up!
Obstructing the doctors' rescue of Old Master Xie was practically a capital offense!
It seemed that even an immortal couldn't save him now!
"Lin Chen, let go. It's my fault, and I'll bear all the consequences."
Xie Yun stared blankly at the unconscious Old Master Zheng in the wooden tub, her face ashen.
She had initially thought that she could use the medicinal bath to cure Old Master Zheng and restore the honor and glory of the Xie family.
But now, it seemed that all of this had become impossible.
"Lin Chen, you murderer! You're obstructing our rescue of Old Master Zheng, which is tantamount to murder!"
Huang Junjie added another heavy accusation, which startled the other doctors.
Yes, wasn't obstructing a rescue considered murder in the eyes of the law?
"Alright, everyone be quiet! The Old Master is just too tired and has fallen asleep."
"Look for yourselves. Although the Old Master's breathing is weak, his pulse is very strong."
Lin Chen forcefully suppressed his inner anger and explained to everyone present.
A group of supposedly reputable doctors, seeing the Old Master asleep, actually thought he had fainted!
But even if he had fainted, Huang Junjie wasn't thinking about saving him first, but instead went to call for backup?
"What? Doctor, are you saying our Old Master is asleep? Not in danger?"
Hearing Lin Chen's words, Steward Zheng looked bewildered.
"That's right. May I ask, Steward, the Old Master probably hasn't slept well recently, right?"
Lin Chen nodded and asked Steward Zheng in return.
"That's right, especially last night, he didn't sleep at all."
Steward Zheng pondered for a moment and then replied.
Indeed, with the bad weather recently, the Old Master's rheumatism had worsened, causing him pain all night and making it impossible to sleep well.
Especially last night, Shangguan Xiong visited at two in the morning, which excited the Old Master so much that he didn't sleep a wink and came to the hospital early in the morning.
Now, saying he was merely asleep didn't seem entirely unbelievable.
"Vice-dean, you should come and examine him yourself. The Old Master is indeed asleep."
Lin Chen knew that talking further was useless, so he turned his gaze to the vice-dean in front of him.
"Alright, I'll examine him myself!"
Hearing Lin Chen's words, the vice-dean did not hesitate and immediately stepped forward to examine the Old Master's condition.
"His breathing is weak but stable, his pulse is also stable, and his heartbeat is normal. He is indeed asleep!"
After the examination, the vice-dean's heart finally settled.
"Vice-dean, the Old Master needs rest now, so please take away all the unnecessary people, especially some unprofessional doctors. If they delay the Old Master's treatment and displease him..."
Lin Chen trailed off at this point, then turned to look at Huang Junjie beside him, his meaning very clear.
"Alright, everyone leave."
Hearing Lin Chen's words, the vice-dean quickly gave orders for the doctors present to leave.
"Doctor Huang, come to my office with me!"
The vice-dean looked at Huang Junjie with a look of disappointment.
As a doctor, he mistook a sleeping patient for a fainting one!
It was likely that when the Old Master woke up, he would truly be furious.
"Lin Chen! You just wait!"
Seeing the vice-dean's gaze, Huang Junjie clenched his fists, his expression filled with anger.
He didn't understand traditional Chinese medicine, so he naturally didn't know terms like "pulse." In his opinion, Lin Chen clearly knew that Old Master Zheng was asleep but didn't explain it.
Instead, he waited until Huang Junjie had made a fool of himself and even called the vice-dean before revealing the truth. This was clearly a deliberate setup to humiliate him!
After everyone had left, Lin Chen looked at the still somewhat dazed Xie Yun and said, "Doctor Xie, it's about time. You can let the Old Master out now."
"Oh, oh, oh, right, the water is almost cold."
Hearing Lin Chen's words, Xie Yun quickly reacted.
"Old Master, Old Master, it's time to wake up."
Xie Yun stepped forward and patted Old Master Zheng's shoulder.
"Mmm... Mmm? Hahahaha, the Xie family's medicinal bath truly lives up to its reputation. I, an old man, actually fell asleep in it?"
Old Master Zheng opened his eyes, looking groggy.
"Hahaha, Old Master, you should go home, take a bath, and then sleep."
Seeing this, Lin Chen smiled slightly.
The pill he had thrown in earlier was a Marrow Cleansing and Bone Strengthening Pill, which was hard to come by. How could there be any problem with it?
