126: Chapter 125 Costume 126: Chapter 125 Costume “You’re not a doctor! Sneakily tell me, are you the reincarnation of Hua Tuo? Did the Medicine King Bodhisattva guide you? Did he or didn’t he? Sneakily! Just tell me quietly, your medical skills absolutely aren’t something a normal person can possess!” The patient held onto Xu Haijiang, saying whatever flattering nonsense came to mind. Looking at Xu Haijiang’s face, he was suddenly filled with overwhelming revolutionary enthusiasm and couldn’t help imagining meeting the great leader again. Xu Haijiang thoroughly enjoyed this wave of flattery, then feigned a serious demeanor and said to the patient, “Well... Dr. Wang wants you to lie on the bed to receive treatment from Dr. Chen.” “No!” The patient suddenly released Xu Haijiang’s hand, as if a spring in his brain had misfired. He gestured towards Chen Qiuya, saying, “My illness is cured! I won’t accept treatment from anyone! I’m cured, that’s that! And it was Dr. Xu who cured me! No matter what you all say today, I will not get treated!” “Dr. Xu may talk a bit too much, like a sparrow’s incessant chirping, but his medical skills are truly remarkable. Just a few needles and he revived someone who was on the brink of death. Judging by his words, I bet he hasn’t talked this much in half a year.” “This patient is really stubborn. At least give Dr. Chen a way out. But truth be told, Dr. Chen does look as pretty as a flower, but her medical skills are quite lacking; her diagnosis was all wrong. If she were to treat patients, wouldn’t it cause more problems?” “Isn’t that odd? Look at the patient, babbling nonstop like a chatterbox, but his complexion still looks terrible, with no improvement at all. After the cold and heat are gone, his complexion should improve immediately, and he hasn’t even started sweating. What’s going on here?” “...” The surrounding doctors’ words, though somewhat harsh, did serve as a reminder to Chen Qiuya. She immediately pulled Wang Shunqin aside, saying, “Dr. Wang, the patient’s symptoms of pale complexion and frailty haven’t improved at all!” “Chen Qiuya! What do you mean by that? Saying such things in front of so many doctors today, if you don’t explain yourself clearly, I’ll file a complaint against you!” Xu Haijiang, like a cat with its tail stepped on, immediately jumped out and then said to Wang Shunqin, “Dr. Wang, the patient himself said I cured him. What’s Chen Qiuya doing here questioning that? Am I preventing the patient from receiving her treatment? This is an insult to me! A tremendous insult! I demand that Chen Qiuya apologize to me!” The patient also stood up to chime in, saying, “Yes! Dr. Xu deserves an apology! What do you mean I look pale? What do you mean I’m frail? My ass is even paler—wanna take a look? You’re saying I don’t know my own body and you do? How do you know? Did you lay the groundwork with me or what? Wanna try it now?” That last sentence was genuinely what he thought, without a hint of falsehood. “You! I’m not going to bicker with you!” Chen Qiuya stomped her foot in frustration. Having been with the health clinic for so long, she had seen what some people could be like and turned to Wang Shunqin, saying, “Dr. Wang, you need to uphold justice here.” Wang Shunqin pretended to be in a tough spot for a while. Though this was the result she wanted, she still had to maintain a fair and impartial appearance. Letting Chen Qiuya anxiously wait for quite a while, she then, with a look of helpless regret as if watching gold fall into a dung pit, said, “Since Dr. Xu has cured the patient’s illness, there’s no need for further treatment. What do you say, Dr. Chen?” Chen Qiuya felt a mix of anger and bitterness. Looking at Wang Shunqin’s benevolent face, who insisted on making her admit defeat, she thought, “How can I lose without even getting to fight?! It’s like being forced to hand in a blank paper the moment I sit down for an exam.” Though Chen Qiuya sensed something was amiss, she certainly didn’t expect this to be just a setup. And the people around her knew nothing, just waiting for her to nod and acknowledge it, thus settling the outcome. It was over! What should she do? What could she do now? The anxiety was killing her! Tears welled up in Chen Qiuya’s eyes. Watching Xu Haijiang, who seemed like he was watching her demise, her heart ached. Wang Shunqin had no intention whatsoever of speaking up for her. The people around also shook their heads. With the situation seemingly set, what else could be done? “What? Who’s cured? Why doesn’t it seem that way to me?” Just when Chen Qiuya was in despair, and Xu Haijiang and Wang Shunqin thought the matter was settled, a discordant voice emerged from somewhere. Everyone turned their heads, looking around until all eyes focused on a person in a white lab coat. “Where did you pop out from?” Xu Haijiang asked discontentedly with his head held high, just as he was about to claim the fruit of victory when suddenly another monkey appeared. “Liu Hun!” Chen Qiuya wiped her red eyes. Her heart skipped a beat, involuntarily fostering a glimmer of hope. Was he here to help her? She simultaneously felt doubtful—how could he know about medicine? Regardless of what Chen Qiuya, Xu Haijiang, or the others thought, Liu Hun had made his opposing entrance in a striking manner. Of course, he had borrowed that white lab coat for convenience. Everyone around was a professional, so he needed to fit in, like a potato among kiwis, the skin had to match! “Who are you?” Wang Shunqin asked, somewhat displeased. Just as everything seemed to be concluding smoothly, an unknown troublemaker appeared, seemingly a mere assistant physician. “My name is Liu Hun. Who I am isn’t important; what’s important is what I’m about to do!” Liu Hun said without engaging much with Wang Shunqin, instead walking over to the patient. Patting him on the shoulder, he asked, “Are you cured?” “What? After meeting the reincarnated Hua Tuo, how could I not be cured? Not allowed to be cured or what? Anyway, no matter what you say, I’m fine,” the patient replied somewhat contemptuously to Liu Hun. He didn’t see a temporary worker as significant. “All good? Then walk a couple of steps for me! Come on, walk a couple of steps!” Liu Hun pointed to the ground, challenging the patient. He seriously doubted that this tailless monkey could escape his grasp. The patient twisted his mouth, and the harsh words just on the tip of his tongue suddenly turned limp like a cooked eggplant, “Oh my... why do I suddenly feel so weak... so weak, I’m shaking! Shaking! Can’t stand, can’t stand! Cold... why is it so cold?” With this, he immediately sat down on the hospital bed, wheezing in and out like he was drawn from Hell. “Oh my! What’s happened? Wasn’t he jumping around like a grasshopper just now? Why is he now shaking all over, look at those little short legs. Shaking so much, they could generate electricity.” “I noticed he was just holding on. If he hadn’t jumped around a bit earlier, he’d still be okay now. But look at his face, starting to turn dark!” “Dr. Xu didn’t cure him at all! The patient’s complexion was suspicious from the beginning. Why insist that he’s cured? Did he and Dr. Xu know each other beforehand, just putting on a show for us?” “...” Seeing the patient looking as if he were on the brink of being claimed by ghosts, the surrounding doctors started discussing. Being professionals, they all had some skill. Anyone could tell whether the patient was truly cured, even laypeople, let alone these doctors. Xu Haijiang’s cervical disease seemed to vanish as his head dropped to look at the patient. He didn’t expect this limp cucumber to falter so soon, starting to act all faint again. This was a slap in his own face! Wang Shunqin felt as though her heart was filled with a thousand frogs, all hopping uncontrollably. If the patient wasn’t genuinely cured, seen by so many people, her own face would also be trampled upon. Is he really here to save me!? Chen Qiuya tightly held onto her clothes. Her heart was a swirl of myriad emotions, mixed with a bit of everything. “What happened? Isn’t he supposed to be the reincarnated Hua Tuo, supposed to be fine? Why can’t he even walk a couple of steps? Didn’t you say he wasn’t weak? Then why is he trembling here? Who was just saying they wanted to lay foundation work here? Should I catch a dog for you to hump?” Liu Hun looked at the patient and asked. As for the current state of the feeble patient, while others might not know, Liu Hun absolutely did. Forget about humping a dog; even breathing was an issue. Xu Haijiang realized the situation wasn’t ideal. He had already envisioned meeting the great leader several times, yet he had not displayed a single spark of revolutionary spirit and rather resembled the subdued image of a landlord being struggled against; this was unacceptable. So Xu Haijiang interrupted Liu Hun’s words, pointing at him and saying, “Who’s this glass ball coming out of nowhere? When is it your turn to speak?” “I am Dr. Chen’s assistant. Now that Dr. Chen is being treated unfairly, why shouldn’t I speak up?” Liu Hun said while pulling away Xu’s hand, then tugging on his white coat, he added, “Stop pulling bullshit. I’ll tell you one thing—you don’t know sh*t! Look at what you’ve reduced him to.” Xu Haijiang was trembling with anger, confusedly looking around. His gaze finally settled back on the trembling patient, and grasping for a lifeline, he frantically grabbed the patient’s shoulder, saying, “Speak up! Stand up and walk a couple of steps, show them! Say something!” “Say... say what... I’m... I’m...” The patient clung to Xu Haijiang and was gasping for breath, as if he had just run a 20-mile marathon. “Dr. Wang, everyone is watching, their eyes are sharp. Could you speak up for fairness? Did Dr. Xu actually cure the patient? Has he passed the test?” Liu Hun asked Wang Shunqin. The facts were there before their eyes, no matter how much Xu Haijiang talked his way around it, they remained unchanged. “Well... this...” Wang Shunqin faltered as well, understanding that if she declared Xu Haijiang the winner, it would equate to lying in front of everyone. But if she didn’t, how could she report back to Vice Director Xu? Xu Haijiang shoved aside the patient and pointed at Liu Hun, saying, “I don’t care! I cured him earlier, that’s that! I win!” “Slap!” The sound of a slap echoed, everyone instantly covered their own faces, but who got hit?”
