Divine Doctor and His CEO Wife

"You..."

Jin Nanxi had never suffered such humiliation. She immediately gritted her teeth, her glare so intense she looked like she wanted to tear Chen Xiao to pieces.

Li Zhengming and the others, however, looked completely satisfied. As stalwarts in their field, they had to maintain their dignity and couldn’t get into a shouting match with this shameless woman. Then Chen Xiao came along and put her in her place with just a few words. It was truly satisfying. If not for the need to maintain appearances, Li Zhengming would have given Chen Xiao a thumbs-up on the spot.

Sato Taka cursed angrily, "Who the hell are you, kid? How dare you cause trouble here? Get lost!"

Chen Xiao stared at him, scrutinizing him for a few seconds before speaking slowly, "You’re all bark and no bite. You’re impotent due to kidney deficiency, and you’ve got cauliflower growths. If you get them removed immediately, you might save your life..."

"Baka!" Sato Taka had been hit right where it hurt, the curse slipping out in his native tongue. He clenched his fists, wishing he could beat Chen Xiao to death.

Miyamoto Hayashi’s eyes were gloomy. "Li Zhengming, your Divine Land prides itself on being a nation of etiquette, yet you allow this sort of riffraff to run around spewing filth. Aren’t you ashamed?"

"Or could it be that the Shenzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Community knows it’s inferior to our Yang Country’s medical community, so you deliberately sent someone to create chaos? If that’s the case, you might as well just concede defeat. Why even hold an exchange conference?"

William Dodge also looked displeased. "Divine Doctor Li, this is a formal occasion, and I hope it can be treated with seriousness. If you all are not sincere about holding this exchange conference, I will leave right now."

Just as Li Zhengming was about to speak, Chen Xiao spoke again, "Mr. William, you’re mistaken. A moment ago, that woman was distorting the facts, claiming our Chinese medicine is a theft of the fruits of her Southern Country ancestors’ wisdom! Do you agree with that statement?"

After a pause, William Dodge said, "I do not."

Anyone could tell Jin Nanxi was just twisting words to suit her argument.

Chen Xiao retorted, "So, am I wrong to refute her?"

William Dodge was speechless. "In... Indeed, you are not wrong."

After a pause, however, he added, "But as a man, you shouldn’t personally attack a woman."

Chen Xiao replied nonchalantly, "How is it a personal attack? I’m simply being kind enough to point out her medical conditions."

He turned to Jin Nanxi, his gaze pinning her in place. "Do you or do you not have bad breath? And do you or do you not have a gynecological disease?" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Jin Nanxi ground her teeth. "You... You’re spouting vicious lies!"

Chen Xiao sneered, his voice suddenly rising. "Fine! Since you won’t admit it, go to a hospital for an examination right now! Then, publicize the report! If I’m wrong by even a single word, I’ll chop my own head off and give it to you! Do you dare take that bet?"

"I... I... I..." Jin Nanxi was at a loss for words, her previous arrogance completely gone.

Chen Xiao then turned to Sato Taka. "Are you impotent due to kidney deficiency, and do you have cauliflower growths?!"

His eyes were as sharp as knives, his presence overwhelming.

Sato Taka immediately lost his nerve. "I... I can’t be bothered to argue with a vulgar person like you!"

"Hahahaha—" Zhang Yaqing covered her mouth to stifle a laugh. "That’s a confession if I’ve ever heard one."

Many women in the audience also began to snicker.

Sato Taka wished a hole would open in the ground and swallow him. He glared at Chen Xiao, grinding his teeth in rage.

Chen Xiao then looked calmly at William Dodge. "Mr. William, you see? I’m telling the truth. I’m just kindly pointing out their medical conditions."

"Our Chinese medicine emphasizes diagnosis through observation, listening and smelling, inquiry, and palpation. I can spot conditions like theirs at a glance. Doesn’t that fit perfectly with the theme of this Traditional Chinese Medicine exchange conference?"

After pondering for a moment, William Dodge nodded in approval. "Young man, you are indeed remarkable. So, you’re saying you can diagnose a person just by looking at them, without taking a pulse or using any instruments?"

"That’s right," Chen Xiao replied calmly.

"Oh? Then can you tell what ailments I have?" William Dodge’s interest was piqued.

Chen Xiao studied him for a few moments before saying quietly, "When you were young, you had a habit of not blow-drying your hair after a bath, and you would even go to sleep while it was still wet. As a result, you frequently suffer from headaches now. Especially at the back of your head. The pain becomes unbearable when the weather is humid, correct?"

"Furthermore, you have an enlarged heart and the ’three highs.’ You’ve taken a lot of Western medicine, but none of it has addressed the root cause. Now, it’s gotten to the point where you feel discomfort in your heart after walking even a short distance! Am I right?"

William Dodge’s eyes widened. "You know about that too?"

He had never told anyone about his headaches. As for his enlarged heart and the three highs, it was true that he had taken a lot of Western medicine, but none of it had cured the underlying problem.

"It seems I was right," Chen Xiao said with a faint smile.

"You’re absolutely correct. Chinese medicine is truly miraculous!" William Dodge said with a look of admiration.

The crowd also stared at Chen Xiao in astonishment. They hadn’t expected this young man to be so impressive as to make William Dodge change his opinion of him in an instant.

Even Lu Jue, who stood beside William Dodge, couldn’t help but give him a second look.

Just then, Miyamoto Hayashi, who had been silent, could no longer contain himself. "Divine Doctor Li, this Chinese medicine exchange conference—are you still holding it or not?"

"Of course we are!" Li Zhengming retorted coldly. "Bring it on!"

"Good." Miyamoto Hayashi let out a cold laugh. "As it happens, our Ghost Medical Sect has had several thorny cases recently. Today, we’ll leave them for you to handle so we can see what the Shenzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Community is truly capable of!"

Chen Xiao stated plainly, "A few mere patients hardly require the attention of the entire Shenzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Community."

"I, Chen Xiao, am enough."

"Just you, a junior?" Miyamoto Hayashi scoffed endlessly.

Chen Xiao shot back mockingly, "Or should we rely on a little dwarf like you?"

Miyamoto Hayashi’s beard trembled.

This kid’s mouth is truly foul!

"Good, good, good!" Miyamoto Hayashi laughed in fury. "If you lose today, let’s see if your Shenzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Community ever dares to boast again!"

With the exception of Li Zhengming, the other heavyweights of the Shenzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Community all looked deeply worried.

"Can this kid really do it?"

"The very reputation of our Shenzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Community is on the line! Are we really pinning all our hopes on him?"

"I have a bad feeling about this..."

Li Zhengming, however, remained calm. "Relax. If even Mr. Chen can’t do it, then none of us can. Just sit back and watch his performance."

William Dodge also looked puzzled. "Young man, these cases are extremely thorny. The Ghost Medical Sect has been treating them for several days with no success! Are you certain you can handle them?"

"Just because they can’t, doesn’t mean I can’t," Chen Xiao said lightly.

"Confident," William noted, his interest growing. "Then let’s have the three patients brought up."

Jin Nanxi sneered, "You’ll be eating your words soon enough."

"Keep boasting like that. Aren’t you afraid you’ll bite your tongue?" Sato Taka scoffed.

Miyamoto Hayashi spoke up, "Wait! Young man, since you’re so confident in yourself, how about we add a wager?"

"Little dwarf, what’s your wager? I’ll take you on," Chen Xiao said, his expression indifferent.

"These patients are all people my Ghost Medical Sect failed to cure. If you succeed, we will immediately concede, and I will personally give you an additional ten million Shenzhou Currency. If you fail, you must kneel and publicly admit that the medical arts of the Divine Land are inferior to those of Yang Country! These terms are fair enough, are they not?"

An uproar swept through the hall.

This old fox Miyamoto Hayashi is far too cunning. If Chen Xiao actually agreed to these terms and lost—kneeling and publicly admitting that the medical arts of the Divine Land were inferior to Yang Country’s—the Shenzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Community would never be able to hold its head high again!
