Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law
Chapter 39 People from the Divine Doctor Sect
These two so-called experts, from the way they examined him, obviously were nothing more than a charade.
After checking for quite a while, Hong Tianming finally couldn’t help but ask, "What do the experts think, have you found anything?"
Only then did the two experts put away their instruments, slightly shaking their heads and sighed, "No need to look any further."
"No need to look any further? What do you mean by that, experts?" Hong Tianming asked.
"No need to look any further means exactly that there’s no need to continue," the expert said. "Prepare for the worst; he doesn’t have much longer to live, I’m afraid he won’t make it through the night!"
"Won’t make it through the night? May I ask, experts, what illness does my father have, or has he been poisoned?" Hong Tianming asked tentatively.
"Poisoned? If he were poisoned, why would his complexion be so pale? We have already examined his mouth, nose, and eyes—they are all grayish white. If he were poisoned, it would certainly be black, how could he possibly be poisoned!"
The two experts asserted confidently, followed by another sigh: "Although our medical skills are excellent, we are not endowed with vast divine ability. One of his feet has already stepped into the coffin, and even King Yama must have already marked him for collection. We surely can’t snatch him back from death, can we?"
"If we talk about someone in the world with such medical prowess, our master possesses such skills. However, our master is a reclusive highbrow whose whereabouts are always uncertain. We don’t know where he has wandered off to, and even if we did find him, I’m afraid it would be too late!"
"Prepare for the worst, there’s no use in struggling anymore. If it had been two days earlier, we might have still had a way to extend his life!"
After the so-called experts finished speaking, they picked up their small case and were ready to leave. But before departing, they didn’t forget to turn around and say: "Don’t forget, our consultation fee is not cheap—a total of two million for each of us. Although we cannot save the patient, the fee must still be paid."
Zhang Yuman said with a smile, "Of course, thank you both for your trouble. The consultation fee will certainly not be shortchanged."
Only then did the experts hum in acknowledgment, acting all the while as if they were reclusive highbrows throughout the entire process.
At that point, Ye Feng could see for himself that these so-called experts were nothing more than those barefoot divine doctors found in the city streets. He didn’t know how the Hong Family had managed to find them, or perhaps they never intended to save Old Master Hong and were just putting on an act.
"What a joke, those who sell dog skin like plaster dare to falsely claim themselves as expert doctors!"
Ye Feng exclaimed, "I initially thought all members of the Divine Doctor Sect were real World-Saving Divine Doctors who rescue the dying and heal the injured. But now it seems that quite a few scum and failures have mixed in. It seems I must find time to give this matter some proper attention."
Of course, Ye Feng did not utter this last thought aloud; he was merely pondering it internally.
"What did you say, you little punk? Daring to call us scum and failures, how dare you!"
The two Divine Doctor experts immediately turned their heads to glare at Hong Tianming, shouting angrily, "Hong Tianming, is this the worthless son-in-law who has come to the Hong Family? Let me tell you, apologize right now, including your entire Hong Family. You must issue a public statement throughout Jiangdu, apologizing to the two of us."
"Otherwise, we won’t let today’s matter rest so easily!"
Hong Tianming panicked, he had never imagined that this crippled son-in-law could cause such trouble. Not only had he offended the Lei Family and even the Jiang Family of Southern River Region Jiangnan yesterday, but now he had also needlessly provoked the Divine Doctor Sect.
Zhang Yuman bellowed, "Ye Feng, is there no end to this? Even ignorance and arrogance should have their limits, shouldn’t they?"
Ye Feng coldly said, "You’re right, we will not let this matter rest just like that. Call over the Sect Master of the Jiangdu Divine Doctor Sect to see me immediately. Next, I’ll show you how I will revive someone you claim your Divine Doctor Sect couldn’t save!"
The two Divine Doctor experts retorted, "What did you say? Do you, a cripple, think you can treat this person who is already half in the coffin?"
Ye Feng couldn’t be bothered with the two of them. He turned to Hong Qingyan and instructed, "You, go prepare a set of silver needles immediately. Remember, I need the best silver needles, and be quick about it!"
Hong Qingyan was skeptical but did not ask any questions. After witnessing what had transpired over the past few days, she somehow developed an innate trust in Ye Feng.
"Okay, Big Brother Ye, I’ll go prepare right away!" Hong Qingyan said before she immediately took out her phone to contact the housekeeper Uncle Liaan.
Those two expert Divine Doctors coldly demanded, "You really want to attempt to save someone with acupuncture, very well. Our medical skills might not be too brilliant, so we will call over other masters from the Divine Doctor Sect!"
"We’d like to see what kind of tricks you’re trying to play. If you can’t save the person later, it won’t be too late for our Divine Doctor Sect to deal with you!"
The so-called expert Divine Doctors finished speaking and directly made phone calls to summon more people.
