Chapter 2595: I Have Plenty of Ways to Deal With You

Seeing Ye Chen threaten to slap him while specifically gesturing around his face, Hong Changqing truly wished he could tear Ye Chen into pieces, for he had never suffered such humiliation in his entire life.

However, thinking that he still had important matters to attend to in Jin Ling and that there was a police station right outside the door, he had no choice but to desperately suppress the monstrous hatred in his heart.

Seeing Hong Changqing's face turn livid, his whole body trembling like a Parkinson's patient, Ye Chen sneered mockingly, "What's the matter? Too afraid to take my pulse? I think you old thing must have cheated to win against Divine Physician Shi yesterday! Otherwise, why wouldn't you dare to take my pulse?"

Ye Chen had suspected from the start that this Hong Changqing might have set a trap for Shi Tianqi, and today, seeing that he was an eight-star martial artist, he became even more certain of this suspicion.

An eight-star martial artist would naturally spend most of their time practicing martial arts; such a person simply did not have the time or opportunity to become a top-tier national physician, even if they had the talent.

In this world, there is no shortage of top-tier scientists who have won Nobel Prizes, nor is there a shortage of art masters who have studied certain musical instruments or painting styles to perfection, nor is there a shortage of sports champions who have practiced their craft to world-class levels.

But who has ever heard of a Nobel Prize winner who is simultaneously a world-class pianist and an Olympic champion?

Human energy is always limited. Since Hong Changqing is an eight-star martial artist, it is destined that he has no time or energy to become a leader in other fields.

At this moment, seeing Ye Chen being so aggressive, Hong Changqing felt very nervous deep down.

Although he is a Daoist Master and a formidable figure, he has spent most of his life practicing martial arts, with his secondary energy spent on refining some low-level Daoist pills; he has never deeply studied Traditional Chinese Medicine.

However, he is not completely ignorant of medicine, as the Daoist school itself values medical arts, so he is stronger than most mediocre national physicians, but there is still a huge gap between him and a master like Shi Tianqi.

When he set his sights on Shi Tianqi's Jishitang and wanted to occupy the magpie's nest to establish himself quickly in Jin Ling, he thought of digging a hole for Shi Tianqi.

It was precisely because his own medical skills were inferior to Shi Tianqi's that he found several shills, then took the opportunity to challenge Shi Tianqi to a medical contest. As long as Shi Tianqi agreed to the challenge, no matter which patient he chose as the benchmark, he was destined to lose.

At that time, he had been leading Shi Tianqi by the nose, using the onlookers at the scene to pressure him, and Shi Tianqi never even considered the possibility of foul play.

But Ye Chen is not Shi Tianqi.

Shi Tianqi might have felt that everything was fine because the benchmark for the contest was chosen by himself from among several patients.

But Ye Chen felt that there was something fishy about it just by hearing the description.

Seeing that Hong Changqing still wouldn't speak, Ye Chen frowned and said, "Too afraid to compete? I think you're just a fraud! Before I call the police to arrest you, get out of here as far as you can!"

Hong Changqing gritted his teeth and said, "Who says I'm afraid? It's just that you are Shi Tianqi's man. You are in cahoots; what's the point of me taking your pulse? Even if I guess correctly, you'll just say I didn't!"

Ye Chen smiled and took out his ID card, placing it face down on the table to hide his name and birth date, saying indifferently, "Come on, my ID is right here. Take my pulse. As long as the birth date you guess is within seven days of the one on my ID, I'll count it as your win."

Hong Changqing became nervous instantly.

Guessing age by pulse is not that simple.

He had been afraid that Shi Tianqi might actually have the ability to guess the age correctly, so before he brought those women to act, he had already found someone to forge their ID cards, deliberately deviating their birthdays by a year or two. This was a double insurance, not only to let himself know the answer in advance but also to confuse the real answer, so that even if Shi Tianqi had heaven-defying skills, the age he guessed would not correspond to the ID card.

So now that Ye Chen was suddenly making things difficult, he didn't dare to accept the challenge easily.

Therefore, he said coldly, "Hmph! What does an ID card count for? ID cards can be faked too. What if you made a fake ID card to trick me and changed the birth date? Even if I had heaven-defying skills, I couldn't guess the date on your ID card. In that case, wouldn't you be guaranteed to win?"

After hearing his questioning, Ye Chen asked curiously, "It seems you are very familiar with such underhanded tricks! Could it be that you won against Divine Physician Shi using such petty schemes?"

Hong Changqing immediately denied it, "Of course I didn't! I won against Shi Tianqi with my own true ability! I just feel that you don't look like a good person, and you are likely deliberately trying to trap me!"

Ye Chen nodded, "So you're afraid that I'm colluding with Divine Physician Shi to trap you."

Hong Changqing immediately said, "Exactly!"

"Fine!" Ye Chen smiled slightly and said to Chen Xiaozhao, "Xiaozhao, invite in the people I asked you to bring!"

Chen Xiaozhao immediately said, "Okay, Master Ye!"

After speaking, she ran out and waved. Soon, more than a dozen women of different ages were brought in, some in their early twenties, others at least sixty or seventy.

After they entered, they all stood in a row. Ye Chen looked at the dumbfounded Hong Changqing and smiled, "Come on, Master Hong, these ladies are all temporary workers I asked Xiaozhao to hire from the Jin Ling labor market early this morning. Take their pulses one by one and see if you can guess their ages. The same rule applies: your margin of error cannot exceed seven days."

Hong Changqing felt very flustered deep down, but he deliberately mocked, "How do I know these aren't shills you just found?!"

"It doesn't matter." Ye Chen smiled, "I knew you'd have such nonsense to say. And I was afraid you'd say you're a gynecological expert who only knows how to take pulses for women, so I asked Xiaozhao to invite only women."

Ye Chen continued, "Of course, the most important thing is the issue of shills you mentioned. I had Xiaozhao take them to the police station early this morning to get birth certificates, all stamped with the official police seal, ensuring that the birth dates on the certificates match their ID cards. If you still want to play the rogue and say they are shills I found, then I'll just call the police to be witnesses!"

Having said that, Ye Chen waved his hands, "Forget it, if you think that's still not enough, I'll call a friend to introduce someone from the Notary Office, and also contact the television media to come and witness it. Then, under their witness, we can go to the street and pick test subjects at random. If you can really keep the margin of error for everyone within seven days, then when the TV station reports it, your fame as Master Hong will be even greater. Not only will you promote our Chinese medicine, but you can also apply for a new Guinness World Record!"

After finishing, Ye Chen looked at Hong Changqing and said with a smile, "See, I have plenty of ways to deal with you."

Upon hearing this, Hong Changqing felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

He never dreamed that this kid would be so vicious! He had almost blocked all his paths! And he even wanted to find the media. He was a person of status in North America; if he lost face in front of the media, wouldn't his reputation be completely ruined?!
