Chu Ge didn’t want to argue with the caregiver too much; after all, she was just doing her job responsibly, which was her duty and role. Thus, he didn’t want to make things difficult for her.
"Since that’s the case, let’s wait until Mr. Shen wakes up before we return."
After saying that, Chu Ge was about to turn and leave.
Beside him, Zhang Chenggong looked at Chu Ge with some surprise. In his mind, Chu Ge was always arrogant and self-centered. Could it be that he was actually willing to compromise now?
Zhang Chenggong glanced at the caregiver and quickly understood the situation.
He looked at Chu Ge with a kind of approving gaze and then nodded, "Alright, I also have some matters regarding Shanghai to discuss with Mr. Chu, so let’s wait for Mr. Shen."
With Zhang Chenggong’s agreement, Doctor Liu naturally had no stance to object. He was eager to leave this trouble-prone place—fearful that a single disagreement with Tang Haowan could provoke the Shen Family and ultimately implicate him.
Tang Haowan, however, looked somewhat displeased and scowled. Suddenly he felt like he was offering to treat Old Lady Shen of his own accord, almost as if he was imposing himself upon them.
Yet, he still felt a guilt towards Shen Wei Qian from before, so at the moment he didn’t ponder further, thinking only to talk properly once Shen Wei Qian woke up.
Look at the caregiver he found! So dutiful and responsible!
If the caregiver hadn’t interfered, Mr. Chu could have already cured Old Lady Shen before Shen Wei Qian woke up, which would have been a pleasant surprise for the old lady.
Tang Haowan felt frustrated internally, then he heard Doctor Liu curiously asking Chu Ge, "May I ask what Mr. Chu’s opinion is on Old Mrs. Shen’s condition?"
Actually, he wanted to ask whether it was possible to really cure Old Lady Shen’s illness. Previously, when discussing academic matters playfully, Doctor Tang had been pulled back from Ghost Gate in just about ten minutes. The nearly one-hour delay was due to Tang Haowan talking and chatting away with Chu Ge, losing track of time.
So, Doctor Liu was very curious about how Chu Ge would respond, facing an illness that even the most authoritative medical experts had failed to cure.
Chu Ge looked at him indifferently, the corners of his lips slowly curling into a slight arc. "I only glanced briefly and didn’t observe in detail, but the problem doesn’t seem significant. It should be treatable without any issues."
These words were not an exaggeration; they were Chu Ge’s genuine judgment based on what he had observed.
"Really?" Doctor Liu appeared skeptical, his face showing disbelief.
"Xiao Liu, what kind of expression is that? The prowess of Mr. Chu, I’ve witnessed it with my own eyes. He never speaks without certainty."
Zhang Chenggong saw Doctor Liu doubting Chu Ge and, fearing Chu Ge would be upset and implicate Liu, quickly scolded him.
Doctor Liu immediately fell silent, saying no more.
"Mr. Chu, Doctor Liu has not seen Ancient Martial Artists or seen them treating patients before, so please forgive any offense."
Zhang Chenggong glared at Doctor Liu, then scolded, "What are you standing there for? Hurry and apologize to Mr. Chu!"
Though Doctor Liu felt somewhat reluctant, he had no choice but to comply with Zhang Chenggong’s orders, thus he slightly bowed to Chu Ge, "Sorry, Mr. Chu, for any offense just now, please excuse it."
"How does this young man plan to treat Old Lady Shen?"
At that moment, an incongruous voice suddenly came from the doorway.
Following the voice, Chu Ge saw a middle-aged man in a white coat standing at the door, with his hands behind his back, his hair meticulously combed, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his face, exuding a strong sense of authority all over.
Zhang Chenggong was startled and instinctively stepped forward, extending his hand in greeting, "Doctor Feng, it’s been a while."
Doctor Feng shook his hand lightly, smiling slightly, "Doctor Zhang, what brings you to Su City? You didn’t even give me a heads-up."
Zhang Chenggong smiled, "The visit was quite sudden, I’ll make sure to visit you personally next time."
The arriving Doctor Feng was Old Lady Shen’s attending physician, a leading figure in the medical community, recruited specifically two years ago to treat Old Lady Shen.
His personality and behavior were quite peculiar; although he worked at this hospital, he didn’t accept any patients except Old Lady Shen in these two years.
After exchanging a few reserved words with Zhang Chenggong, Doctor Feng’s contemplative gaze fell on Chu Ge, filled more with disdain.
A young man who seemed barely in his twenties dared to make such bold claims; truly rash and arrogant.
"Doctor Zhang, as physicians, we must not believe in the lies of a swindler."
Doctor Feng spoke in a serious tone.
Zhang Chenggong’s smile froze, first anxiously glancing at Chu Ge, then somewhat resentfully said to Doctor Feng, "Doctor Feng might have misunderstood. Although Mr. Chu is young, his medical skills are exceptional. Even Mr. Ouyang, whom I personally treated, was eventually cured by Mr. Chu."
Had it not been for Chu Ge, Mr. Ouyang would have already been deceased.
And Zhang Chenggong’s reputation would have plummeted because of Mr. Ouyang’s death.
So, looking at this young man not much older than his own son, Zhang Chenggong felt deeply grateful.
With Doctor Feng questioning him, he wanted to defend Chu Ge.
Doctor Feng merely snorted coldly, "You’ve painstakingly researched Mr. Ouyang’s condition for so long without success, yet you let this young man cure it, and you don’t feel ashamed but proud?"
Doctor Feng’s words, full of disdain and mock, struck Zhang Chenggong unexpectedly.
Zhang Chenggong’s face stiffened. Although he wasn’t as prestigious as Doctor Feng, he was still an authoritative figure. Now ridiculed openly by Doctor Feng in front of so many people, he couldn’t maintain his composure, his face contorted as if constipated, quite unsightly.
But this was someone else’s territory. As a doctor from Shanghai, he couldn’t say much, so he had to swallow his resentment and remain silent.
Doctor Feng, hands behind his back, stepped forward, arrogantly looking at Chu Ge, "Kid, I’ve heard of your feats. Although I don’t know what methods you used to pull Mr. Tang back from the Ghost Gate and cure his legs, the condition of Old Lady Shen is definitely not something a quack like you can resolve. I advise you not to bother, otherwise you might end up embarrassing yourself, and that would be unpleasant."
Chu Ge’s face didn’t show much anger; instead, he listened quietly.
