Chapter 10: Simply Nonsense
"Old Wang, we meet again." Lin Yu responded with a smile.
"Yes, you came just in time. Cabinet Elder Ma's condition is getting worse and worse, but with you here, I can rest assured." Old Wang held Lin Yu's hand tightly, looking unusually excited.
This scene surprised the Ma family; they didn't expect Old Wang to know Master Lin.
However, in their hearts, they thought it might have been Old Wang's superb medical skills that saved their grandfather back then.
At this time, in the minds of the Ma family juniors, Lin Yu was still the liar described by Ma Yuancheng who relied on women for a living.
And Xu Chen's words rang out again, sarcastically: "Yo, isn't this Wang Kaizhang? You're still alive!"
The Ma family members were stunned when they heard this, especially Ma Yuanfeng, whose brows were deeply furrowed.
Wang Kaizhang's gaze turned to Xu Chen, his anger burning, and he roared: "Xu Chen, what are you, a shameless person, doing here? We don't welcome you here!"
"Really? But the decision is not in your hands." Xu Chen responded with a sneer and continued to Ma Yuanfeng: "Ma Uncle, how can you trust a person with such poor medical ethics? This is simply irresponsible to the patient."
"My predicament today is all because of you, you scum!" Wang Kaizhang was emotionally agitated and used almost all his strength to point and accuse Xu Chen.
"My fault?" Xu Chen smiled contemptuously, "I am the son of the Medical Immortal, and my medical skills are indisputable. That surgery failed because of your operational error that led to the patient's death; what does it have to do with me?"
Xu Chen's words made the surrounding juniors nod in agreement. They began to question Wang Kaizhang's judgment, thinking that their eldest uncle might be old and confused, inviting a liar.
Seeing Wang Kaizhang so angry that he was about to faint, Lin Yu pushed him gently behind his back without changing his expression, helping him stabilize his breathing.
Ma Yuanfeng felt very troubled and dissatisfied with Xu Chen's behavior of deliberately stimulating people. He comforted Wang Kaizhang and said: "Old Wang, please calm down. The most important thing today is to diagnose my father. Let's talk about other things after the diagnosis."
After speaking, Ma Yuanfeng didn't want to look at the arrogant Xu Chen again. In contrast, he felt Master Lin's humility and professionalism were more reliable.
Ma Yuanfeng knew the truth about Wang Kaizhang being fired from the hospital.
During a surgery accident back then, to protect Xu Chen's future, Wang Kaizhang took the blame.
Despite this, Xu Chen still wouldn't let Wang Kaizhang go, "If I had known earlier that there was someone like you here, I wouldn't have come!"
Wang Kaizhang was so angry that his body trembled and his teeth were clenched.
And Lin Yu quickly pressed a series of acupuncture points on his back, helping him stabilize his emotions.
After Wang Kaizhang calmed down a little, he nodded to Lin Yu to express his gratitude.
Xu Chen's arrogance angered Lin Yu. The latter looked at the other party coldly and said: "I am here to treat Cabinet Elder Ma, not to watch you argue. Someone, help Old Wang down to rest."
As the order fell, the nurses immediately stepped forward to help Wang Kaizhang leave the ward.
Xu Chen said confidently: "Alright, just wait and see how I expose this fake master!"
When the ward door opened, a pungent smell rushed toward them.
In order to keep the secret of the old master's health condition, the Ma family had forbidden the juniors from visiting for the past two years.
This was the first time they were allowed to see Ma Yueshang, who was paralyzed in bed, after the car accident.
Seeing their grandfather, who was once full of vitality, now so thin that he was almost skin and bones, many juniors couldn't help but have red eyes and sobbed in a low voice.
However, the old master's mental state was still okay, and he even squeezed out a smile at the family members gathered at the door.
"Grandfather..." Seeing her grandfather, Ma Zixuan's tears immediately welled up in her eyes. She turned to Xu Chen and begged: "Brother Xu Chen, you can cure him, right? If you can cure Grandfather, I will marry you!"
Ma Yuanfeng was furious when he heard this, "Xuanxuan, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"I'm not talking nonsense. As long as Brother Xu Chen can save Grandfather, I will marry him." Ma Zixuan insisted.
These words made Ma Yuanfeng even more angry, because he didn't want his daughter to marry Xu Chen.
Although Xu Jianhua enjoyed a high reputation in the medical field and the two families were well-matched in social status, Ma Yuanfeng knew some of the Xu family's secrets, which were reasons he didn't want to see his daughter involved.
However, Ma Yuancheng held a different opinion; he thought that marrying into the Xu family was beneficial to the Ma family.
He expressed support for Ma Zixuan: "I think Zixuan and Xu Chen are a good match, and I support their relationship."
Ma Yuanfeng scolded: "Third brother, shut up, I didn't let you speak!"
Despite his dissatisfaction, Ma Yuancheng still closed his mouth; after all, his eldest brother, Ma Yuanfeng, was the decision-maker of the family.
Xu Chen directly made a request to Ma Yuanfeng: "If I can cure Cabinet Elder Ma, please agree to my marriage with Zixuan."
At this time, Lin Yu mocked: "What does it matter if you agree? He can't cure him anyway."
As soon as this was said, the young people of the Ma family cast dissatisfied gazes, and some even clenched their fists.
Xu Chen was unmoved, but laughed: "Since you are so anxious to see the result, let's start!"
Subsequently, Xu Chen put on a mask, endured the strange smell in the room, and began to take Ma Yueshang's pulse.
Everyone's attention was attracted, wanting to witness whether the technique of this famous doctor's son was really as magical as the rumors.
However, as Xu Chen's diagnosis progressed, his expression gradually became serious, and his brows were deeply locked.
When he finished checking the other hand, his face was pale, as if he had encountered something unbelievable, which made everyone present hold their breath.
Lin Yu watched the scene quietly, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Xu Chen walked out of the ward with a heavy face and said in a low voice to the crowd gathered outside the door: "Cabinet Elder Ma's pulse has disappeared, I'm afraid his days are numbered."
When everyone heard this, they were in chaos. The Ma family disciples found it hard to believe, because no pulse was almost equivalent to the end of life.
"Did you not feel it?" Ma Yuanfeng asked eagerly.
"I checked repeatedly, there is indeed no pulse. Cabinet Elder Ma might... tonight." Xu Chen said regretfully.
Ma Zixuan burst into tears on the spot, and at this time, Lin Yu snorted coldly: "This is simply nonsense."
Hearing Lin Yu's words, Ma Yuanfeng seemed to grasp a glimmer of hope and hurriedly bowed and begged: "Master Lin, if you have a way, please take action to help."
Lin Yu yawned, looked at Xu Chen lazily, and said like a mentor pointing out a student: "Little Xu, try again. This time, find the pulse on the back of the hand on the outside of the wrist."
Xu Chen was furious when he heard this: "Are you mocking me? How can a person's pulse appear on the back of the hand?"
However, Lin Yu just smiled and responded: "Try it and you'll know, won't you? Ma Yuanfeng, you try it."
When Lin Yu called him by his full name, the anger of the younger generation of the Ma family reached its peak, and several people even surrounded him, preparing to take action.
"How dare you be so disrespectful, apologize to the eldest uncle quickly, otherwise don't blame us for being impolite!" ===== CHAPTER 11 =====
