Chapter 4 Fire and Poison Conditions

Whoosh!

All the people at the scene looked toward the door with astonished faces.

They saw a pair of stunning beauties walk in.

The woman in front had a voluptuous figure and was incomparably beautiful.

The one behind her was as pure and lovely as ice and jade.

Their beauty struck all the men present, freezing them in their tracks!

"These are the gorgeous heiress sisters from the Xu family conglomerate of Jiangnan City!"

"Eldest Miss Xu Yuanyuan!"

"Second Miss Xu Mengmeng!"

Su Yuan, the second young master of the Su family, immediately ran over, fawning over the leading beauty like a servile dog.

"Yuanyuan, why did you come? Why didn't you give me a heads-up?"

"Am I that close to you? Move aside!" Xu Yuanyuan answered coldly, then warmly greeted Su Yueli; "Yueli sister!"

"A toad lusting after a swan's flesh." Xu Mengmeng mocked, then also ran over and hugged Su Yueli's arm; "Sister Su, are you okay?"

"I'm fine," replied Su Yueli, touched; "Yuanyuan, Mengmeng, thank you for coming to see me at this time."

"Miss Su, please accept my condolences!" Director Tang said; "I won't charge for the consultation fee, but I had a hard time convincing my uncle to come out, and the rules can't be changed!"

Su Yueli looked troubled.

Seeing this, Director Tang immediately tried to smooth things over, turning to look at Elder Chen.

"Uncle, could you consider giving a discount for the consultation fee?"

"Given the Su family's situation, I disdain to take advantage at such a time," replied Elder Chen indifferently; "Let's settle for a ten percent discount, a mere hundred thousand will suffice."

Before he finished speaking, a mocking and cold voice arose.

"Charging even when you can't cure? The nerve."

Who?

All heads turned, and they saw a young man in white walking over.

"Who is this kid?"

"Don't know him!"

"Judging by his attire, he doesn't seem to be someone of status."

Many faces showed curiosity.

Director Tang stepped forward, speaking coldly; "Young man, you can eat randomly, but you must not speak recklessly. Do you know who I am?"

"And who might you be?" Ye Wudao asked indifferently in return.

"You!" Director Tang was choked up with anger.

Someone immediately took up the conversation.

"This is none other than the director of the First Hospital of Jiangnan City, Tang Qiufeng!"

The proud Director Tang immediately straightened his clothes, looking down at Ye Wudao with arrogance.

"Tang Qiufeng?"

Ye Wudao remained unfazed.

"Never heard of him."

"You!!"

Tang Qiufeng was speechless with rage.

"Qiufeng," Elder Chen eyed Ye Wudao; "you're really regressing with age, bothering yourself with a flashy youngster seeking attention."

"I may not understand," retorted Ye Wudao with folded arms, his tone cold and mocking; "but at least I can tell that Old Man Su can live at least thirty more years!"

Boom!

The entire room exploded in shock!

"What, Old Master Su can live thirty more years?"

"That can't be! Didn't Elder Chen just say he won't live through the night?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Qiufeng let out a mocking laugh; "What nonsense. Old Master Su is critically ill, on the verge of death. Forget thirty years, even three days would be doubtful, and yet you have the audacity to spout such brazen lies in front of the patient's family?"

"Don't believe it?"

"Hmph, not only thirty years, if you can keep Old Master Su alive for three days, I, Tang Qiufeng, will write my name backwards and kowtow to you!" Tang Qiufeng laughed mockingly.

"You?" Ye Wudao glanced at Tang Qiufeng and then withdrew his gaze, "You're not yet worthy to bow to me!"

"You, you little brat!!" Tang Qiufeng was furious, gnashing his teeth.

Ye Wudao directly bypassed Tang Qiufeng and approached the trio.

"Miss Su, I can save Elder Su!"

Turning her head, Su Yueli sized up Ye Wudao.

"You?"

With just one look, Ye Wudao's heart skipped a beat.

The girl from his memories had grown up to be so beautiful!

People watched as Ye Wudao stared at Su Yueli, and they began to mock him.

"I thought some great master had suddenly appeared, but it turns out to be another toad trying to dine at the table!"

"Exactly, as if he had any chance to get a piece of this swan meat!"

"Are you a doctor?" Su Yueli looked at Ye Wudao's confident demeanor, and hope flickered in her beautiful eyes.

"My main profession isn't, but it's sort of a sideline," Ye Wudao replied.

An amateur doctor?

The hope that had just ignited in Su Yueli's eyes dimmed in an instant.

"I'm sorry, but I can't let you experiment with my grandfather's life, please go back!"

"An unknown nobody who popped out of nowhere, and you dare to boast that you can treat the elder?"

"Exactly, all the doctors here have guarantees from wealthy and noble families."

"Don't you look in the mirror before making such bold claims, thinking you can get a piece of swan meat? What a joke!"

...

Listening to the ridicule and derision directed at Ye Wudao, Xu Mengmeng was the first who couldn't stand it anymore.

"All of you shut up!"

Anger filled her delicate and pure face.

"Who says he's unknown? He is our Xu family's honored guest, and not long ago he cured my disease!"

As she spoke of this, Xu Mengmeng's cheeks flushed.

"On behalf of the Xu Corporation, I vouch for Mr. Ye!" Xu Yuanyuan spoke up.

Everyone was stunned.

Seeing the Xu sisters, who were outsiders, say such things, they felt touched and ashamed.

"I also vouch for him!" Su Yueli spoke up, shocking everyone!

"Shut up, Su Yueli, what crowd are you joining?"

"The Xu family can vouch, they have money to pay if something goes wrong, do you have money?"

"You're not allowed to vouch!" The Su family members immediately turned against her.

Ye Wudao observed the Su family's ugly faces and sneered, "There is no need for the three great beauties to vouch for me, old man Su actually has a case of fire poison!"

Chen Lao's body stiffened.

"Fire poison, ha ha, what a joke; clearly, Elder Su has leukemia!" Tang Qiufeng mocked.

"Shut up, leukemia is a term used in Western medicine, but in Chinese medicine, it is indeed called fire poison!" Chen Lao said.

What?

Tang Qiufeng's face changed, and he muttered, "Uncle Master, maybe he's just guessing blindly, a blind cat running into a dead rat."

"Young man, how did you know that Elder Su has fire poison?" Chen Lao asked.

"What's so difficult about that? Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes on observation, listening, and feeling the pulse. Elder Su is unconscious, his complexion is pale, and his pulse is weak—a clear sign of fire poison!"

"Not bad, you have some skills!" Chen Lao showed a hint of appreciation, then shook his head, "But fire poison is extremely aggressive and almost incurable, what use is your diagnosis?"

"There are many solutions. Using the century-old snow lotus from the Great Snow Mountain, century-old wild ginseng, ice from the seabed, and soaking in warm water for forty-nine days can resolve it!" Ye Wudao said casually.

"What you are talking about are all rare treasures, extremely valuable!" Chen Lao shook his head.

"Ha ha, those so-called treasures are nothing!"

Ye Wudao mocked, reminding himself of the seven years he spent practicing on the mountain. He usually used century-old snow lotuses and aged ginseng for his foot soaks. When he had more than he needed, he'd even feed them to the dog, causing the dog called Big Yellow to grow as strong as a tiger.

"Young man, since you speak so confidently, it seems you have a way to cure Elder Su?" Chen Lao's eyes gleamed.
