Chapter 2615: with translation of chapter title

2516.2422 That's all feudal superstition.

Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian spoke in English; although the audience couldn't understand Swedish or Dutch, switching to English allowed them to at least grasp what he meant.

Everyone was astonished, and Doctor Lavesen standing before Zheng Ren felt his anger gradually stiffen. Then fear crept onto his face, his pupils shrank to pinpoints, and his legs trembled.

"Mr. Ke Li..." Doctor Lavesen said, trembling.

"Ke Li, he's sick, don't make a fuss." Zheng Ren said helplessly.

"Zheng, he was just really unhappy a moment ago; do you still want to examine him?" Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian smiled at Doctor Lavesen, his tone sing‑song like reciting poetry as he asked.

"Oh, it's fine."

"When you hit me on the plane, why didn't you have such a good temper!" Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian raised his hands high, expressing his bewilderment and incomprehension.

"You're fine, you'll recover soon. He isn't..." Zheng Ren shook his head, looking at Doctor Lavesen before him with some pity.

"Anyone who dares to provoke the Bruhl Family ends up written in the history books." Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian said with an elegant smile.

"You go back first." Zheng Ren shook his head, "I roughly understand Ma Li Si's condition; let's operate on her here."

Ma Li Si…… that name is very familiar.

Doctor Lavesen's mind had gone blank from being frightened by Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian, but upon hearing Ma Li Si's name, he froze for a moment.

Then a thought rose in his mind.

Could it be the legendary cursed witch Ma Li Si?

Doctor Lavesen staggered, and Zheng Ren quickly supported him, shouting, "Old Fan, go get a wheelchair!"

"Zheng, someone like him needs a full checkup three or four times a year; it's rare for an illness to go undetected." Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian said.

"Oh, I guess he knows he's not up to it, yet he came to Di Du to give a lecture while sick." Zheng Ren said seriously.

"……" Doctor Lavesen didn't dare look at Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian, and he never imagined that this "arrogant" Doctor Zheng would be so acquainted with Ke Li of the Bruhl Family.

From what they were saying, it seemed Doctor Zheng had even hit Ke Li on the plane.

One shouldn't dwell on such things; the more Doctor Lavesen thought about it, the more he felt his actions over the past year were self‑destructive.

Fortunately, fortunately he had chosen to come to Di Du.

If the mountain won't come, I'll go to it; this option is the best, completely without error.

Doctor Lavesen felt Ke Li's sharp, cold gaze fixed on him, and he quickly grabbed Zheng Ren's hand, "Zheng, what illness do I actually have?"

He absolutely did not believe he was ill; this was merely the curse of that malicious, arrogant Doctor Zheng.

Even if, after a checkup, a latent malignant tumor began to grow, Zheng merely glanced at him—how could he possibly know?

Right now, Doctor Lavesen would rather speak with that malicious, arrogant Doctor Zheng than stay silent, accepting Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian's gaze.

Moreover, Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian found it amusing; what Doctor Lavesen was thinking was exactly what Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian himself was thinking.

Even things Doctor Lavesen didn't know—how could Zheng know them at a glance?

That's unscientific!

Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian is among those of the Bruhl Family who trust modern technology, so he watched Zheng Ren with interest, waiting for this young man kissed by Heaven to give an explanation.

Fan Tian Shui pushed the wheelchair over, and Zheng Ren had Doctor Lavesen sit down.

"Doctor, you really don't know you're ill?" Zheng Ren asked in surprise.

"I… I just had a checkup 88 days ago." Doctor Lavesen said firmly, "I still need to have a checkup when I return home."

"The last checkup showed no problems, including my coronary arteries; only my blood lipids are a bit high, which I'm controlling with medication."

As soon as this was mentioned, Doctor Lavesen felt that cold, oppressive gaze weaken considerably, as if a huge stone had been lifted from his chest, and he let out a sigh of relief.

First, let's get through this immediate crisis; as for how to apologize to Ke Li and earn his forgiveness later, that's a matter for another time.

Who would have thought that Ke Li would actually be in Di Du, accompanied by the legendary ancient and mysterious witch Ma Li Si!

As for the illness, Doctor Lavesen doesn't care, believing it doesn't exist at all and is merely a malicious curse.

"So that's how it is." Zheng Ren sighed.

"Zheng, tell me your reasons—I'm truly interested. Heaven kissed your hands; perhaps it also kissed your eyes, allowing you to see the truth through the chaos of time and space, right?"

Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian smiled and said elegantly, "Ma Li Si says she can occasionally glimpse fragments of the future, but no one can perceive the essence of things—not even Luo can do that."

"I'm just making a rough judgment." Zheng Ren shook his head and said to Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian, "No one can perceive the essence of things; in our country, what you're saying is called feudal superstition."

"Feudal superstition?" Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian repeated the term, which was quite unfamiliar to him.

Principal Zhang stared dumbfounded.

The chairman of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine Committee, Doctor Lavesen, sat in the wheelchair with a look of panic, like a paralyzed old man.

Meanwhile, Zheng Lao Ban was casually talking about feudal superstition and such with the strange man behind him who had made Doctor Lavesen panic.

These are simply too hard to understand.

Principal Zhang remained silent, knowing his own standing was insufficient. As a rural relative who had lived his whole life in a small town, his perspective and experience were lacking; every time he came to Di Du, he would express surprise at many details.

And now he himself was that poor rural relative; Zheng Lao Ban's circle could already look down on the chairman of the Nobel Prize committee.

Thinking of this, Principal Zhang felt a surge of panic and helplessness. Many things he previously couldn't understand surfaced in his mind—no wonder Zheng Lao Ban usually seemed a bit arrogant, no wonder he rarely interacted with the medical circle in Di Du, no wonder...

Moreover, Zheng Lao Ban is a lifelong professor at Massachusetts General Hospital—what more needs to be said?

One could tell at a glance what was going on with Doctor Lavesen's terminal cancer; Principal Zhang also couldn't figure it out.

Could he have superpowers? Thinking of this, Principal Zhang froze for a moment.

All eyes gradually turned to Zheng Ren, waiting for his explanation.

Su Yun beside Zheng Ren also felt some doubt, but he sensed that various doubtful or malicious glances were being directed at his boss, and he gave a scornful laugh.

Even if he cursed Doctor Lavesen to his face, what could it change?

He took half a step forward, was about to speak, when he felt his shoulder get bumped, and then he heard his own Boss's voice coming over.
