CHAPTER 364: CHAPTER 364 MO YINHE: THIS IS MY WOMAN 1

Mo Yinhe’s approach to dealing with issues had always been: it’s better to strike first than to be controlled by others!

He had clearly anticipated that someone might challenge his precious one today. If he were to simply sit back and wait for trouble, he wouldn’t be Mo Yinhe!

Academician Zhou had been right: no one could guarantee that his precious one could overcome any and every intractable disease. If someone today presented a condition his precious one couldn’t cure, wouldn’t she be left vulnerable to attack?

If he wanted today’s lecture to conclude successfully, striking first was the better choice.

Indeed, the reaction from the audience was intense.

The medical experts, professors, and students present all grew restless upon seeing the patient wheeled in, and the lecture hall erupted into a fervent uproar!

This was an ALS patient!

Never mind Si Mingjing being just a junior in medicine—even if she were a true master of Chinese medicine, a veritable Divine Doctor, she still couldn’t possibly cure it!

This Xian Chen, to present Si Mingjing with such a cruel problem, is simply unhinged!

However, heh heh, they were loving it!

Many Western doctors present, who were unconvinced by Si Mingjing, had also prepared various intractable diseases to challenge her, but none were as vicious as the problem Xian Chen had posed!

The medical colleagues in their seats completely let loose, whispering among themselves, eager to see Si Mingjing pulled down from her pedestal and thoroughly humiliated!

Chen Yuanbo’s brows were tightly furrowed as he looked coldly at Xian Chen.

What an unscrupulous doctor, to come up with such a vicious problem to trouble Si Mingjing!

Today’s lecture was his own heartfelt effort, aimed at making a favorable impression on Si Mingjing. If Doctor Xian Chen ruined it, wouldn’t his efforts be for naught?

For Chen Yuanbo, this was truly an unexpected calamity!

Chen Yuanbo stood up and said sternly, "Doctor Xian!"

It was a severe warning!

But Xian Chen turned a deaf ear.

He walked from his seat to the ALS patient and said to Si Mingjing, "Miss Si, you are the rising star of traditional Chinese medicine and the media-acclaimed Divine Doctor. Please, save him."

The ALS patient lay paralyzed in his wheelchair, unable even to speak, looking at Si Mingjing with eyes that were both intensely fervent and utterly despairing.

The fervency was the patient’s instinctive desire to live, eager to try even with only a 0.0001% chance of hope.

The despair came from the patient still being rational, knowing that no one could save him, not even if Hua Tuo himself were alive today.

Xian Chen kept goading her, "Miss Si, you can conquer cancer. With just a few needles, you cured a girl with cerebral palsy. One punch allowed a child who needed an amputation to jump around energetically. Surely, you can cure the patient before you, right?

His surname is Lun," Xian Chen continued, "and his given name is Bobing. He used to be a talented young entrepreneur who made significant contributions to society. He’s only twenty-eight this year. Diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis—ALS—two years ago, he has deteriorated to this state in just two short years. He still has a long life ahead of him. We Western doctors are helpless; our only hope now lies in traditional Chinese medicine."

Everyone present couldn’t help but look on with sympathy.

To be afflicted with such a disease... how could one word, ’tragic,’ even begin to cover it?

Xian Chen then leaned over and said to Lun Bobing, "Don’t worry. This Miss Si comes from Prison Star. She has the miraculous ability to revive the dying and mend bones. She will definitely get you back on your feet. She is the Divine Doctor, acclaimed by contemporary media."

This was blatant praise meant to set her up for a fall; everyone could hear it.

The higher Xian Chen praised Si Mingjing now, the harder she would fall from her pedestal in the next moment, crashing down miserably!

Chen Yuanbo stood up from his seat, walked to the podium, took the microphone, and said, "Doctor Xian, this is the Q&A interactive session. As for treating illnesses, I believe it’s best discussed privately after the lecture concludes. Even the most skilled doctor cannot perform an on-the-spot cure; treatment always involves a process that takes several days..."

Qin Jingqiu, who had been about to stand up to stop Xian Chen from troubling Si Mingjing, relaxed her expression upon hearing Chen Yuanbo’s words.

She echoed, "That’s right. Most of us here are doctors and should understand that curing diseases isn’t something that happens overnight. We are here to attend the lecture, so let’s adhere to the normal procedure. Besides, many people still wish to ask questions. This patient can communicate privately with Miss Si after the lecture concludes."

Gu Changbin, his steps fueled by anger, moved from the last row to the front, his fierce and icy glare fixed on Xian Chen.

His demeanor screamed that if Xian Chen dared to cause any more trouble, he would stomp him into pulp!

His Highness the Prince has always been merciful, never one to easily crush someone to death. However, if anyone dared to trouble his little sister, he would protect her even if it meant becoming a demon on the spot!

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Si Mingjing rose to the challenge. "Time is life. As medical practitioners, we shouldn’t pick and choose times or places to treat patients. Director Chen, I am willing to give it a try. However, I’m afraid this will extend the lecture’s duration. I hope it won’t inconvenience you and everyone else present?"

Chen Yuanbo shook his head inwardly upon hearing her audacious words. This Miss Si is far too arrogant, unable to take a hint when it’s offered. She’s digging her own grave!

Chen Yuanbo reminded her, "Miss Si, perhaps you should reconsider?"

"Let me try."

Si Mingjing remained calm and composed in the face of the situation.

Chen Yuanbo thought to himself, Since you insist, then even if you end up humiliated, it’s no concern of mine. I already offered you an out; it’s a pity you don’t know when to advance or retreat.

Si Mingjing walked towards the patient, but a portly man grabbed her wrist.

"Miss Si, this isn’t some trifling cold or fever. Even if you refuse, no one will laugh at you. Don’t be foolish!"

Si Mingjing didn’t recognize the portly man before her.

But she could feel his good intentions.

Nevertheless, she shook her head. "It’s alright. If I can’t cure him, I can refuse then. But I can’t fail to even try. That wouldn’t be a healer’s duty."

Qin Jingqiu also rose from her seat, walked over, and tried to stop her. "Mingjing, be rational. This is ALS. Like cancer, it’s a medical conundrum. Why set yourself up for disappointment and become a laughingstock? It’s clear that this Doctor Xian just wants to embarrass you."

"Whether what others present is a difficulty or an opportunity depends on my own ability. Sister Qin, don’t worry. If I’m thrust onto the cusp of the storm, it only means I lack the skill!"

A person with true ability, even if pushed to the brink, can turn the tables, transforming passivity into initiative, and crisis into opportunity!

All plots and schemes are mere paper tigers in the face of absolute strength!

Si Mingjing wasn’t afraid because, as it happened, she knew how to treat ALS!

On Prison Star, she and her master had cured two ALS patients!

Si Mingjing’s phoenix eyes curved with confidence. As she glanced towards Mo Yinhe, she saw him giving her an encouraging smile, as if cheering her on.

At that moment, a bold thought struck Si Mingjing: Why isn’t he nervous for me? Could it be...

Qu Liushang sat next to Mo Yinhe. Noticing his calm demeanor and the fact that he still had the mood to smile, he snorted, "Are you just going to let her be bullied? Is this how you protect her?"
