The World's Number One Medical Hall

Chapter Eighty-Nine: How could such profound techniques be lightly passed on?

Inside the room, Chu Ruo lowered his head slightly. With just a little prompting from his father, he knew where the problem lay.

It was obvious that he had previously heard Mo Bai say that his father was in danger of going blind, and that acupuncture could cure him, but Mo Bai was unwell and could not receive acupuncture.

Therefore, he wanted to invite another doctor to perform acupuncture. As long as Mo Bai instructed on the acupuncture technique, other doctors could perform the acupuncture, so as not to delay his father's condition.

At the time, he was anxious and didn't think much about it, but now he has to realize that such a request is extremely unreasonable for any doctor.

The entire medical community of Mingzhu was helpless against Master Chu's illness, but Doctor Bai's few silver needles brought miraculous results to my father in an instant, which shows how profound his skills are.

This method, however, can be taught to you without your knowledge and then passed on to others.

This is no longer a question of whether Mo Bai is willing to pass on his knowledge; the fact that Chu Ruo made this request first shows a complete lack of respect for Mo Bai's medical skills.

"Father, are you saying that Doctor Bai has already seen through my thoughts?" Chu Ruoxian thought of this and his face involuntarily showed a bit of panic, afraid that he would offend Mo Bai again and affect his father's treatment.

"Look at how Doctor Bai behaves. Does he act like a young man at all? Now that he has taken over my treatment, he has already let bygones be bygones regarding the previous verbal disagreement. Why would he really drink your tea and create a tense atmosphere because of that? Therefore, his eventual apology to you was definitely not because of the previous matter, but to warn you, or rather, to warn me, not to have such thoughts." Master Chu's eyes flickered twice as he spoke in a deep voice.

"How dare he..." Chu Ruoxian's expression changed on the spot. He himself didn't care, but how could he tolerate a young man disrespecting his father? Even if he was a doctor, so what!

"He seems mild-mannered, but don't forget, just now, in our house, in front of your father, he reprimanded you for being ill-mannered. He's much bolder than you think," Master Chu said to his son.

Silence fell over the room. After a while, Chu Ruo looked up again, her eyes filled with worry: "Father, what should we do now? We can't just watch hope being right in front of us and not do anything about it!"

The middle-aged man pondered for a long time, but finally shook his head and said, "There's no need to worry. Although Doctor Bai didn't say much, he must already know my condition. Since he took on the case despite knowing the situation, how could he just sit by and watch me go blind? There is one thing you should investigate."

"Father, please give your orders!" Chu Ruo stood up first.

"This Doctor Bai, judging from his temperament and demeanor, is no ordinary person. Coupled with his superb medical skills, he shouldn't have fallen into such a destitute state. He had previously hinted to me that he had encountered some accidents, which led to his current predicament and his struggle to earn money for medicine."

"Does Father want his son to investigate what exactly happened?" Chu Ruo nodded first.

"Well, I am now confident that Doctor Bai can cure me, but I cannot guarantee what kind of person he is. After all, I have only met him once today. I originally wanted to give him more money, but he refused. Since he does not want money..." Master Chu said softly to his son.

Clearly, this is the kind of feeling that one cannot feel at ease until one has shown kindness.

"Son understands. If any problems are found, we will help Dr. Bai resolve them," Chu Ruoxian said in a deep voice.

……

Sunset.

After another busy afternoon, Manager Wu suddenly remembered something. He strolled leisurely to the entrance of the clinic, hands behind his back, and looked across the street. He noticed that the noodle stall across the street was still empty. Slightly surprised, he beckoned a waiter over: "Hasn't the other side returned yet?"

"No, I've been keeping an eye on him. He hasn't come back since he left with Miss Chu," the servant whispered to the shopkeeper.

Upon hearing this, Manager Wu's face immediately revealed a strange smile, and he muttered to himself, "Could it be that this young doctor really did go to diagnose and prescribe medicine for that Master Chu?"

He suspected that Mo Bai might be desperate for money and, seeing the Chu family's wealth, thought his chance had come and wanted to make a fortune from them.

"That's impossible, how could the Chu family believe him? It would be good enough if Young Master Chu didn't beat him up..." The servant looked incredulous.

The shopkeeper chuckled and waved his hand, "I'm going to eat across the street. Call me if you need anything!"

"Alright!" the servant replied immediately, knowing full well that the manager wanted to go and see what was going on.

So what's so funny about this?

This story begins with the time when Master Chu fell ill and sought out renowned doctors throughout Mingzhu.

Originally, Master Chu was of extraordinary status. Once he fell ill, the famous doctors in Mingzhu Province, seeing that the Chu family had come to invite him, naturally dared not delay and immediately went to his door to examine him.

If one doctor can't make a diagnosis, then two doctors are consulted. Before they knew it, a month had passed, and they had consulted almost every famous doctor in Mingzhu Province, using all their skills, but still couldn't see any remarkable results.

If it were just a troublesome illness, it wouldn't be so bad, but doctors still kept coming to the door, wanting to try their luck.

Even if it can't be cured, it doesn't matter. Anyway, nobody can be cured, so it's not shameful.

After all, as the saying goes, "Medicine can't cure all diseases, and Buddha only helps those with affinity!"

If the disease is terminal, then it's not that the doctor didn't try their best.

But what if, by sheer chance, they manage to cure Master Chu, who had been completely helpless in the entire Mingzhu Medical Clinic?

Needless to say, it would instantly make him famous and establish a lasting relationship with the Chu family. Who wouldn't want to do something like that?

So, at first, Mingzhu Medical School was not opposed to the uproar over Master Chu's illness. On the contrary, many doctors were waiting for the Chu family to invite them. After all, anyone invited by the Chu family must have some reputation. If they could be invited, it would prove their worth!

Some even went to the Chu family's door to try their luck, even though they weren't invited.

The Chu family was initially very courteous. Whenever a doctor came to their door, they would treat them with utmost respect, welcoming them in and seeing them off regardless of whether the doctor could cure them or not. They would also prepare generous gifts, hoping that the renowned doctors would help them find a solution after they returned home.

However, despite all the comings and goings, the Chu family spent an unknown amount of money and spent countless hours smiling and entertaining doctors over the course of more than a month, but the result was that Master Chu remained bedridden with no hope whatsoever.

Finally, not long ago, another doctor came to treat Master Chu. He said that after painstakingly consulting ancient books and thinking hard, he had finally come up with a prescription that might be worth trying.

The Chu family, whose hearts were already heavy with despair, were filled with hope again and immediately promised to reward the gentleman handsomely if the treatment was effective.

But to everyone's surprise, after taking this medicine, Master Chu suffered from vomiting and diarrhea, which completely ignited the worries and anxieties that had been building up in the Chu family over the past month.

In his rage, Young Master Chu could no longer maintain his composure. He was not stupid; how could he not know that the doctor had used his father as a guinea pig for experiments, hoping to try his luck and rise to prominence?

He was furious and immediately arrested the doctor and imprisoned him.

That's not all. He felt that the family had been too generous to these doctors, which was why they had become so bold as to act recklessly in the Chu family.

Fortunately, my father was not seriously injured this time. If he had really lost his life because of this medicine, what would have happened?

He was both shocked and furious, and could no longer contain his violent temper. Despite the fact that the doctor was already sixty years old, he continued to torture him severely for a whole day and night, almost killing him on the spot.

That wasn't the end of it. After implicating his family, he sent people to seal off and smash the clinic, and even arrested the waiters and imprisoned them all.

This incident immediately caused a storm in the medical community, and it can be said that Master Chu is now universally acknowledged as someone who cannot be touched.

In the past few days, whenever the Chu siblings came to visit, all the medical clinics avoided them if they could, and refused to touch this hot potato again.

Today, this quack doctor arrived with an extravagant signboard. It's clear that the incident hadn't happened long ago, and the young master of the Chu family was still seething with anger. How could he not be furious upon seeing this young doctor in such a state?

Being kicked out on the spot and made a fool of oneself would be the least one could do.

"Dr. Bai, please don't be angry with my brother. He was just afraid something would happen to our father, that's why he did that!" In the car, Chu Ruohan was also telling Mo Bai about the cause and effect, hoping that Mo Bai would not hold her brother's rudeness against her.

She didn't know that Chu Ruoxian's defiance of Mo Bai today was not solely due to this, but more so because of the precarious situation Chu Master was in with the Patrol Division.

It was a sensitive time, and the Chu family did not want rumors to spread that Master Chu had become beyond saving and had become so disheartened that he was resorting to quack doctors to try his luck.

Chu Ruohan was unaware, and Mo Bai was even less likely to know this. However, after hearing the cause and effect above, a smile appeared on his lips, and he casually said, "I see. Your brother is indeed true to his nature..."

Chu Ruohan blushed instantly and lowered her head slightly, saying, "Little doctor, I know that what my brother did was wrong, so the doctors were unwilling to treat my father afterward."

Mo Bai smiled slightly, offering no comment on her words. He looked out the window, just as they arrived at the entrance of Jishi Medical Clinic, and said softly, "We've arrived at Jishi Medical Clinic. Miss Chu, are you here to get your medicine?"

Chu Ruohan also looked out the window and nodded, saying, "Yes, we'll get it here. We were so grateful to the manager of Jishi Medical Clinic for recommending you yesterday; otherwise, we would have missed you. We really need to thank the manager properly later."
