Chapter 62

    Chapter 62: Showing Off in Front of Me?

    “Lin Lao, are you sure this is no joke?” As Lin Canghai’s voice fell, the crowd burst into skeptical chatter, given Ye Chen’s young age. A man in his early twenties with such a high level of medical skill seemed unlikely to many.

    “Why would I joke about something like this?” Lin Canghai replied with a shake of his head and a smile. “I know you all doubt Ye Chen. How about letting him diagnose some of you?”

    “I’ll go first,” said a middle-aged, slightly overweight man in his forties, stepping forward to stand before Ye Chen.

    It was just a medical consultation, so he figured he had nothing to lose and perhaps this young man might indeed be skilled.

    “You often suffer from chest pain, insomnia, poor appetite, and sometimes back pain,” Ye Chen observed after a glance.

    The middle-aged man was taken aback, as Ye Chen’s description matched his symptoms perfectly. “So, young doctor, what should I do?” he asked, now genuinely curious.

    “Maintain a regular diet, exercise more, and avoid staying up late,” Ye Chen advised with a smile. “You’re showing early signs of hepatitis; it’s important to take this seriously.”

    The man thanked Ye Chen, and soon others approached Ye Chen, seeking medical advice. Ye Chen calmly attended to each person, while internally feeling triumphant about the unfolding situation.

    Meanwhile, Shen Qingqiu noticed Ye Chen and sneered. She had no good feelings towards him, but since Lin Xiyan had invited him, she refrained from commenting.

    “Really?” The old man’s eyes lit up with excitement.

    “Absolutely. If you agree, I can start treating you right now,” Ye Chen offered with a light smile.

    “Then please, I’m entrusting you with this,” the old man replied, earnest and grateful for any chance of recovery.

    Without further conversation, Ye Chen took out several rows of silver needles from his canvas bag and began preparing for acupuncture. The old man, although surprised, let Ye Chen proceed.

    “Are you going to treat him here?” an old man asked, bewildered.

    “Yes, right here,” Ye Chen responded, smiling. He was planning to demonstrate his medical prowess to the crowd, especially for conditions considered incurable in modern medicine.

    Meanwhile, Jiang Che, watching Ye Chen’s confident treatment, smirked mischievously and excused himself to the restroom. Unnoticed, he secretly used his internal Qi to block the old man’s Danzhong acupoint. (Chest Center Area)

    His plan was to ensure the old man’s sudden death during the final step of Ye Chen’s acupuncture, undermining Ye Chen’s efforts and reputation.

    Unaware of Jiang Che’s actions, Ye Chen continued his treatment, while Jiang Che relished in his cunning plan.

    “Ah, Ye Chen, don’t blame me for being ruthless. To quickly increase my power, I have to use you for my ends,” he thought with a sinister chuckle.
