Chapter 62: Xie Jinchen

Cheng Honglin suddenly collapsed, and the Cheng Family was instantly thrown into chaos.

Cheng Kexin could not spare the time to deal with Cheng Zhiyong's family first; instead, she immediately called for the servants to carry Cheng Honglin back to the bed in his bedroom.

Cheng Weijun shouted to the people below, "Hurry and invite Doctor Xie!"

Zhang Shouhang said at this moment, "Doctor Xie is a guest at the Zhang Family; I will have someone invite him over right now."

"Then I will have to trouble Young Master Zhang," Cheng Weijun smiled.

Xie Jinchen is a renowned medical professor in Xia, with rich clinical experience and many patent awards to his name.

Such a person is naturally someone that great families seek to befriend. Furthermore, when Cheng Kexiang was poisoned previously, it was also Xie Jinchen who was invited by Zhang Shouhang.

"We will all be one family in the future, Uncle Cheng, please do not be so formal."

Zhang Shouhang immediately took out his phone to make a call.

At the same time, Cheng Kexin also received a call—her Third Senior Sister, Li Qingyan, had arrived in Shanghai.

Previously, when Cheng Kexiang was poisoned and her symptoms showed no signs of improvement, Cheng Kexin had contacted Li Qingyan.

Li Qingyan happened to be going to Jinling recently, so she agreed to stop by on her way.

She had not expected that she would arrive today.

Chen Che's current identity is that of a bodyguard; if he were to rashly treat Cheng Honglin, Cheng Weijun and the others would certainly not agree.

But Li Qingyan is different.

Li Qingyan's Medicine is peerless, and she is famous throughout Xia and even the world.

Even Xie Jinchen would not dare to call himself a Master in front of her.

If she can come, Cheng Honglin will certainly be fine; on the other hand, there would be no need to owe Zhang Shouhang any more favors.

Cheng Kexin pulled Cheng Kexiang aside and instructed her to go pick up Li Qingyan.

Cheng Kexiang left immediately.

Cheng Kexin then came before Chen Che and said, "Little Junior Brother, you come help too."

Although Xie Jinchen is here and it is not Chen Che's turn to act, Cheng Kexin still brought Chen Che to Cheng Honglin's bedroom just in case, for the time until Li Qingyan arrives.

Soon, less than ten minutes after Zhang Shouhang hung up the phone, Xie Jinchen arrived.

He also brought all the instruments, equipment, and other items needed for examination and diagnosis.

Xie Jinchen is a middle-aged man with a square face; he exchanged brief greetings with Cheng Weijun and the others before immediately throwing himself into the work of examining Cheng Honglin.

Cheng Weijun and his wife stood guard to one side, waiting with faces full of worry.

Due to Cheng Honglin's sudden change in condition, the matter regarding Cheng Zhiyong's family was temporarily shelved; at this moment, they also stood to one side, praying very devoutly.

Right now, the people who most want something to happen to Cheng Honglin are Cheng Zhiyong's family.

The words Cheng Honglin spoke before fainting were enough to doom them to eternal ruin; if he died, they would at least have a way out.

But if he were fine, their fate would be completely held in Cheng Kexin's hands.

"Doctor, how is my father?"

Seeing Xie Jinchen's brows tightly locked, Cheng Zhiyong asked with an anxious face.

Xie Jinchen looked at the examination reports from the various instruments, as well as the results of the diagnosis he had just performed personally, and shook his head, sighing, "Mr. Cheng, you must prepare yourselves mentally."

Hearing this, Cheng Weijun and the others were all startled.

"Doctor Xie, how exactly is my father?" Cheng Qian asked with unease in her heart.

Xie Jinchen showed the examination reports to Cheng Zhiyong and the others, saying, "Old Master Cheng suffered a surge of anger, causing his Qi and blood to rush upward, which led to a blockage of the blood vessels and congestion in the brain, resulting in a loss of consciousness."

"Doctor Xie, can you speak plainly?" Cheng Song asked.

Xie Jinchen said, "Simply put, he is in a vegetative state."

"What?!"

Everyone present wore a look of disbelief!

"You just said my father suffered a surge of anger, meaning he was just too emotionally agitated; how could he possibly be in a vegetative state!?"

Cheng Weijun could not accept this diagnosis.

Xie Jinchen explained, "The Old Master is advanced in years, and his body has long been riddled with problems; his blood pressure, blood sugar, and many other indicators are not up to standard. In this state, once one illness flares up, other illnesses will also break out together."

"The Old Master was emotionally agitated earlier, and his Qi and blood all rushed to the top of his head, gathering at the Baihui point, blocking the normal functions of the brain."

Xie Jinchen sighed, his face full of regret: "I am sorry, this is all I can do."

"Doctor Xie, I beg you, you were able to cure my daughter Cheng Kexiang before, you must be able to save my father too!"

Cheng Weijun's heart was in a mess, and he made a final struggle.

Xie Jinchen waved his hand and said, "Mr. Cheng, it is not that I will not treat him, it is that he truly cannot be cured."

However, they did not know that Xie Jinchen had never actually identified the true cause of Cheng Kexiang's illness back then, and the medicine he prescribed had not played a role.

But due to the appearance of Chen Che, Cheng Kexin had hidden the truth of the treatment, leading the Cheng Family and Xie Jinchen himself to believe that he was the one who had cured Cheng Kexiang.

"Thump!"

Hearing this, Cheng Weijun collapsed onto the floor, his heart dead with despair.

"How could it be like this..." Cheng Weijun could not believe that this would be the result.

Cheng Zhiyong, as well as Cheng Qian and Cheng Song, also appeared devastated on the surface, while secretly rejoicing in their hearts.

In this way, there was one more possibility for their fate, and they would not be doomed forever.

Zhang Shouhang took the opportunity to approach Cheng Kexin and comforted her: "Kexin, do not be sad, you still have me."

Cheng Kexin stepped aside, dodging the hand Zhang Shouhang tried to use to touch her, and turned to look at Chen Che.

Chen Che nodded, signaling to Cheng Kexin not to worry, and then spoke up: "Nonsense!"

Hm?

For a moment, everyone's gaze gathered on Chen Che.

Chen Che walked slowly to the bedside, and under the puzzled gazes of everyone, he took Cheng Honglin's pulse.

"Who are you, and what did your words just now mean?" Xie Jinchen frowned, staring at Chen Che as he questioned him.

Chen Che withdrew his hand and said, "I said you were spouting nonsense just now. Old Master Cheng is not vegetative at all, nor will he become vegetative!"

"So you mean my diagnosis is wrong?"

"That's right!"

"Ha!"

Xie Jinchen gave a contemptuous laugh: "I am a clinical medicine professor holding a post at the Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. I have performed three hundred and twenty-one hell-difficulty surgeries and hold twenty-six patents. Furthermore, I am a globally recognized authority and a disciple of the National Medical Saint, the Divine Doctor Li Qingyan. Moreover, the equipment I brought is the most advanced in Xia today. And yet, you are actually saying my diagnosis is wrong!?"

Cheng Kexin frowned. She had not expected Xie Jinchen to be the disciple of her Third Senior Sister, Li Qingyan. Could his diagnosis really be without error?

"Saying so much doesn't change the fact that your diagnosis is wrong, nor does it prove your Medicine is remarkable."

Chen Che said indifferently.

"My friend, I recall that the Cheng Family has no one like you. May I ask who you are?"

Zhang Shouhang asked with a frown.

Xie Jinchen was someone he had invited; for Chen Che to cause trouble for Xie Jinchen now was to slap him in the face.

Naturally, he had to clarify the identity of the person who dared to provoke him.

Cheng Song recognized Chen Che and said, "He is Cheng Kexiang's Bodyguard."

Upon hearing Cheng Song's words, Xie Jinchen was amused and mocked, "A mere Bodyguard is here talking big to me about Medicine? Even if you want to show off in front of your boss, this method is foolish!"

Zhang Shouhang also looked on with disdain and said, "Friend, since you say Dr. Xie's diagnosis is a misdiagnosis, then tell us, what is Old Master Cheng's condition?"

Hearing this, Cheng Weijun and the others all looked at Chen Che.

The family's sense of wishful thinking made them want to hear what Chen Che could possibly say.

Chen Che said slowly, "Old Master Cheng is suffering from an attack of fire due to anxiety, with Qi and blood surging and gathering at the Baihui. All of that is correct. However, there is one point: the blood stasis gathering at the Baihui will not obstruct brain function, and it is even less likely to result in him becoming Vegetative."

"So you're saying you can cure him?" Xie Jinchen sneered.

"Of course I can."

"How will you cure him?"

Chen Che said calmly, "Just insert a needle into the Baihui Acupoint and he will be fine."

Xie Jinchen acted as if he had heard some huge joke and said, "The Baihui Acupoint is on the top of a person's head. It is the point where the three yang meridians of the hands and feet and the Du Meridian meet, and it is one of the most important acupoints in the human body. By inserting a needle into the Baihui Acupoint, are you trying to kill Old Master Cheng?"

Cheng Weijun and his wife's expressions turned to disappointment, and the wishful thinking in their hearts completely dissipated at this moment.

They also did not believe Chen Che understood Medicine; instead, they felt he was causing trouble and trying to grab attention at such a time.

This caused everyone in the Cheng Family except for Cheng Kexin, as well as Zhang Shouhang, to feel disgust.

However, they could never have imagined what kind of shock Chen Che would bring them next!
