Chapter 1701: with translation of chapter title

A woman in her thirties sat in the VIP lounge, her face slightly pallid, looking somewhat wan.

And her system panel was a faint red, with no diagnosis.

This indicated some fatigue, the body being in a sub‑healthy state. Zheng Renxian estimated it roughly, then, guided by the little assistant, walked in.

"Hello, Boss." Zhang Xuanya stood up, forcing a smile as she spoke.

"Hello." Zheng Ren gave a slight smile, then fell silent.

"Who is this..." Zhang Xuanya noticed Su Yun, and asked, somewhat surprised.

"I'm the boss's assistant." Su Yun said offhand.

The living room fell silent; Zheng Ren and Su Yun said nothing, while Zhang Xuanya seemed a bit dazed.

After a few seconds, Zhang Xuanya gave a wry smile: "Boss, sorry. I've been feeling unwell lately, often zoning out, my apologies."

"It's fine." Zheng Ren said: "Are you feeling unwell?"

"Mm." Zhang Xuanya nodded slightly, gracefully gesturing for Zheng Ren to sit.

The living room remained silent; Su Yun leaned back on the sofa, observing Zhang Xuanya with interest.

Perhaps it's insomnia, Zheng Ren guessed. Insomnia—I'm not good at handling it. There's no illness, just insomnia; could it be too much pressure?

I can treat illnesses, but I can't solve the problem of excessive pressure.

Zhang Xuanya seemed to habitually space out; after a few seconds she came to, sighed, and said, "Boss, excuse me for a moment."

Having said that, she gave a slight polite nod and walked toward the restroom.

This... is a bit strange.

Not mentioning her condition upon meeting—could it be she doesn't trust me? Or is she under too much stress, developing psychiatric symptoms? Or perhaps it's a urinary issue like frequency, urgency, pain?

Zheng Ren thought of many things.

"Boss, what did Wu Hui say?" Su Yun asked.

"Nothing."

"Your attitude is wrong." Su Yun said disdainfully, "No matter how you put it, you're a renowned great doctor; your mindset still needs to change."

"Let's leave it as is; there's nothing to change." Zheng Ren smiled, seeing Zhang Xuanya's assistant to the side, and asked, "Miss Zhang, is there anything uncomfortable about your body?"

The little assistant's expression shifted slightly, she lowered her head but said nothing.

Su Yun shook his head and said, "Boss, your temper is like that of a toad with sores."

"Don't say it so harshly; a toad is a toad, no need to call it a diseased toad." Zheng Ren said.

"That's pretty much what I mean." Su Yun said, "If you don't pinch and nag you, you don't get angry. If it were someone else, they'd have left long ago. Zhu Liangchen, do you see? In a place like this, one flick of the sleeve and you're gone, no nonsense."

"Hehe." Zheng Ren's face showed no expression, just a slight laugh.

"Tsk tsk." Su Yun looked at Zheng Ren with contempt and asked, "When will you bring out that vigor of wielding a scalpel and heading out in Hai Cheng again?"

"Not worth it." Zheng Ren said, "Why bother?"

"We came here, said not a word, and just left you hanging. Do you think that's appropriate?" Su Yun said while glancing at Zhang Xuanya's little assistant.

The little assistant lowered her gaze to her toes, saying nothing.

"Well, just like this, it's clearly meant to make you look good." Su Yun goaded.

"Miss, may I ask if there's anything else? If not, we'll leave." He then looked at the little assistant and asked directly.

Zheng Ren also did not stop Su Yun.

If I had come alone, I might have just waited.

But coming with Su Yun, this guy's temperament is a bit impatient, so I have to accommodate a little.

Moreover, Zhang Xuanya's behavior and demeanor were somewhat odd, making Zheng Ren feel a bit uncomfortable as well.

"Sir, please wait a moment, Miss Xuanya..." As he spoke, Zhang Xuanya emerged from the restroom, her whole appearance looking a bit more spirited.

"Boss, sorry." Zhang Xuanya had obviously touched up her makeup, looking somewhat gaudy, masking her true expression, which made Zheng Ren feel even stranger.

Clearly the system panel only showed sub‑health, yet I felt there was a major problem.

Having been slapped in the face countless times, Zheng Ren no longer doubted that the Big Pig Trotter was broken.

He first went to ponder what exactly was going on with Zhang Xuanya.

Could it be that the problem isn't with her, but with her immediate relatives?

That possibility exists.

Zheng Ren thought while smiling, then asked, "Miss Zhang, may I ask what brings you to see me?"

"That's how it is." Zhang Xuanya made a gesture; her little assistant produced two copies of the Harmony Nurture medical records and handed them to Zheng Ren and Su Yun with both hands.

"Lately I've had hematuria, yet tests show nothing." Zhang Xuanya sighed, "I suspect kidney cancer, but the checks at Harmony Nurture found nothing."

Su Yun weighed the medical record in his hand, then slapped it onto his left palm with a slap.

"Harmony Nurture."

Zheng Ren also didn't much like Harmony Nurture; those people were somewhat arrogant, and he didn't know who gave them their courage and confidence.

Still, Zheng Ren was curious—hematuria? That's a pretty standard diagnosis, yet the system panel gave none.

He was more concerned about the stability of the Big Pig Trotter.

Although he often doubted it, the Big Pig Trotter always proved its reliability in the end.

Just this time…

Zheng Ren still decided to first look at the medical records.

"This time I happen to be coming to Di Du for a concert; I've also heard Peilan mention you, and I ask Boss Zheng to please take a look. If it really is kidney cancer, others won't tell me, so Boss Zheng, please don't hide it from me." Zhang Xuanya said softly.

Although her tone hardly changed, mentioning cancer never makes one feel happy.

"These past few years my body has been severely overdrawn; although I feel it, I can't keep pushing. Those who can't keep up have fallen; wanting to rise above others is truly difficult."

"Can you find time to rest?" Su Yun quickly finished reading the report, smiled, and said.

"I always tell myself, after performing the next show I'll rest for half a year. But before I finish, a new contract comes up." Zhang Xuanya sighed, "Flying back and forth, many contracts get pushed aside because there's no time slot. Not to mention contracts, even my contact with my boyfriend is infrequent."

"Yo, you really have a boyfriend." Su Yun suddenly became interested, "Just a few days ago I saw in a tabloid that someone secretly photographed you having a late-night snack with a certain man—is it real or fake?"

"Fake." Zhang Xuanya said, "My boyfriend is in Italy."

"I said the picture looks photoshopped. But now tabloids are so professional, I can't even tell if it's photoshopped." Su Yun remarked.

"Sigh. Always this tired, and as a result my body really is worn out." Zhang Xuanya looked somewhat preoccupied.

But it's also easy to understand—hematuria, who wouldn't be scared upon seeing it!

Hematuria, kidney cancer, metastasis… ordinary people thinking of these would have already broken down, but Zhang Xuanya is relatively strong.

"Where is the CT image?" While flipping through the medical record, Zheng Ren said.
