Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City-Chapter 452 Conditions for Making a Move

At Wang Yao’s house.

Wang Zhi stood by Chen Fan’s bedside, carefully examining his body.

An Lan stood to the side with a face full of tension.

According to Chen Fan, his physical condition had reached an extremely bad state, and nobody could treat him unless there was someone like him—an immortal. Although Wang Zhi had the reputation of being a match for Hua Tuo, he had only treated ordinary people after all, so An Lan was very worried that Wang Zhi wouldn’t be able to treat Chen Fan.

Chen Fan was calm at this time, grateful in his heart for An Lan finding a doctor to treat him, but he knew very well that ordinary medical skills had no effect on his injuries. He didn’t have much confidence in this seemingly strange old man.

After Wang Zhi had examined Chen Fan from head to toe, his brows furrowed deeply.

An Lan hurriedly asked, "Senior, how is it? What’s his condition?"

Wang Zhi stared at Chen Fan and said, "This kid’s organs are all displaced, and there’s severe damage, plus his meridians are sealed. Under normal circumstances, he should be dead, but he’s still breathing, which suggests that his constitution is not ordinary."

Chen Fan raised an eyebrow, not expecting the old man to be quite skilled, even noticing his exceptional constitution.

An Lan continued to ask, "Then Senior, is there a way to cure him?"

Chen Fan chuckled and said, "Even if this doctor can see my condition, with the current level of Chinese medicine, whether it’s Chinese or Western medicine, there’s no chance of curing me..."

Wang Zhi glared at Chen Fan, "Kid, what do you mean by that? Looking down on this old man’s medical skills, huh?"

Chen Fan tried to explain, "Uncle, it’s not that I..."

Wang Zhi turned his head to An Lan and said, "Though this kid’s condition is pretty bad, for me, it’s more than enough to cure him. However, this kid dared to doubt my medical skills, and I’m angry now. If you want me to save him, he’ll have to agree to a condition of mine."

An Lan, seeing Wang Zhi say he could cure Chen Fan, excitement flashed in her eyes, then she glared fiercely at Chen Fan, "Why are you spouting nonsense here? The senior can clearly cure you, and here you are looking down on someone!"

Then she said to Wang Zhi, "Senior, I’m sorry, he’s not right in the head; don’t mind him. Whatever condition you want to propose, just say it. As long as it saves his life, he’ll definitely do it."

Chen Fan was stunned; he had thought that the old man would be helpless regarding his condition, but he didn’t expect the old man to be so confident, saying it was more than enough to cure himself, which left him unsure whether the old man was bluffing or truly had the ability.

If he really had the skills to cure him, that meant this old man’s background was certainly not ordinary.

Wang Zhi sized up Chen Fan and asked An Lan, "You two are boyfriend and girlfriend, right?"

An Lan brazenly claimed, "Yes."

They had fallen to this small county, where nobody recognized them, and posing as a couple wouldn’t raise suspicions; Chen Fan would understand this rationale.

All of a sudden, Wang Zhi clapped his hands and looked at Chen Fan with a sly smile, "If that’s the case, then the condition I’ll set is for you to break up with this girl right now, and promise you’ll never be with her for the rest of your life—if you do that, I’ll save your life."

An Lan’s eyes widened, looking incredulously at Wang Zhi, "Senior, you..."

Wang Zhi said seriously, "This kid doubts my medical skills, which shows his shortsightedness; he’s not worthy of you. Girl, I’m doing this for your own good. That’s the deal. If he breaks up with you, I’ll save him; otherwise, you can look for someone else!"

Chen Fan lying in bed couldn’t help but laugh, thinking that this demand couldn’t be more to his liking, and he readily said, "Okay, I agree."

Wang Zhi frowned, scrutinizing Chen Fan, "You agreed just like that?"

Chen Fan nodded.

Wang Zhi snorted, "It seems you really are callous towards women; your little girlfriend worked herself to death in my clinic to ask me to save you, getting blisters on her hands every day, her legs trembling from fatigue, without a single word of complaint. And you, just to save your own life, are willing to abandon her without a second thought. You truly are a beast!"

Chen Fan was baffled; he hadn’t expected An Lan to pay such a price to get the old man to take action.

Wang Zhi turned to An Lan, "Girl, you see? This is his true face. It’s a wise choice to break up with him. I’ll give you another chance, just say you’re disappointed in him, and I won’t save him. Let him fend for himself, how about that?"

An Lan looked at Chen Fan with a resentful expression and then explained helplessly to Wang Zhi, "Ah, Senior, you’ve misunderstood. Actually... actually, he’s not my boyfriend."

Wang Zhi humphed, "Don’t take me for a fool, Senior. You’re just saying this because you’re afraid I won’t save him."

An Lan responded, "It’s true, he’s really not my boyfriend."

She then recounted the relationship between herself, Chen Fan, and Su Qingyan.

"I have feelings for him, but his heart belongs to another woman. It was me... it was me who wanted to be closer to him, so I pretended he was my boyfriend," An Lan said, with her head down, biting her lip as she revealed the truth.

Wang Zhi listened with a face full of surprise. "Gosh, so it turns out to be such a thing after all the commotion. But if that’s the case... well, it’s going to be even more fun now!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Fan’s heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition climbed up his chest.

An Lan also looked at Wang Zhi, puzzled, and asked, "How... how is this going to be fun?"

Wang Zhi’s face revealed a teasing smile, and he said, "I’ve changed my mind. Now my demand for this lad is that he must sleep with you before I will take action to save him. Girl, this is for your benefit. You shouldn’t have any objections now, right?"

An Lan blushed and turned her head to glance at Chen Fan without saying a word.

Chen Fan was speechless and thought to himself how this old man seemed to enjoy going against the grain. He directly spoke up, "No way, old uncle, I cannot accept your demand."

Wang Zhi placed his hands behind his back and snorted coldly, "If you don’t agree, then just wait to die."

Chen Fan gritted his teeth. Although he now saw hope for survival, the old man’s demand was too outrageous. If he really did something that dishonored Su Qingyan, he would rather die right away.

An Lan blinked her big eyes and said to Wang Zhi, "Senior, let’s step outside to talk."

The two of them walked out of the room.

Wang Zhi said, "Girl, don’t tell me you are going to plead for that lad again. You’ve done so much for him, and yet he refuses even to sleep with you. Not to mention, you’re so pretty—either way, it’s to his advantage. If you still plead for him under these circumstances, I’ll just wash my hands of the affair and leave."

An Lan said with a smile, "Senior, that’s not what I meant. Actually, I would very much like to get entangled with this guy, so he won’t have any reason to ignore me anymore."

"Just look at his current state, he’s barely hanging on to his last breath, and he’s obviously in no shape to do that kind of thing. So, why don’t you treat him first, and when the time comes, I’ll surely find a way to sleep with him. How about that?"

By the end of her sentence, her face had turned so red that she felt like she was spouting shameless words, making her seem like some kind of hooligan girl.

Wang Zhi thought it over and smiled again, "That’s possible. Still, to ensure you two can actually get together later, you’ll have to listen to me then. I have a way to make sure you ’cook the raw rice.’"

An Lan was taken aback and asked, "What way?"

Wang Zhi smiled mysteriously, "That’s for me to know. When the time comes, you just need to be clean and ready."

An Lan cursed in her heart, calling him a sleazy, shameless old man!

However, she couldn’t quite voice her thoughts and merely nodded, "Alright then."

She then asked, "Senior, may I boldly ask why you always like to do things in reverse?"

Wang Zhi laughed heartily, "Life’s a game. If everything goes too smoothly, it’s just boring. Isn’t it more interesting to do things in reverse?"

With that, he returned to the room.

An Lan made a face behind Wang Zhi’s back and muttered softly. She followed him back into the room.

"Kid, consider yourself lucky. I’ll start treating you now and keep your little life safe first."

As he spoke, Wang Zhi took out an Acupuncture Bag, several jade bottles, and a few plasters from the medicine box he had brought with him.

Seeing Wang Zhi enter and announce that he would treat him, which was entirely different from his earlier attitude, Chen Fan was somewhat apprehensive and asked, "Why have you agreed to treat me again, and what did you two talk about outside?"

Wang Zhi picked up a jade bottle, poured out some liquid, unbuttoned Chen Fan’s clothes, and applied the liquid all over his chest. "Don’t ask what you shouldn’t, just lie there nice and quiet," he said.

Chen Fan looked anxiously at An Lan, "Did you agree to something with him? This old man is not at all serious, and it’s questionable whether he can cure me. You can’t just agree to his unreasonable demands like that!"

An Lan held her head high and said to Chen Fan, "Oh, just accept the treatment quietly for now. Keeping your life is what’s most important. Don’t bother about what we said."

Chen Fan, visibly agitated, strongly resisted Wang Zhi treating him; after all, the old man’s condition for treating him likely meant selling him out!

But now he was utterly helpless, as much as he was agitated, he didn’t have the slightest strength in his limbs and could only maintain a lying position.

Wang Zhi applied several types of liquid to Chen Fan’s body and then started to perform acupuncture on him with silver needles.

Witnessing Wang Zhi’s acupuncture technique, Chen Fan was shocked. His proficiency in acupuncture was decades ahead of the medical expertise on Earth. Even with memories of the Inheritance Record, he had never seen such an advanced technique. It was even more powerful than the Nine Revolutions Resurrection Needle technique he had mastered before.

Now he was convinced the old man had the ability to cure him, but he had no idea what conditions An Lan and the old man had agreed upon to coax him into treating him.

Could it really be that he had no choice but to be at the mercy of others?
