Commander Wu whispered at that moment, "This doctor has been invited from Hua Du First Hospital, Director You Yaozong, whose skills are exquisite and is considered the top physician in Tiannan."
Xu Hao nodded slightly. He had heard of You Yaozong's reputation, who was reportedly most proficient in dermatological diseases and also the director of the surgery department at Hua Du First Hospital. Many tycoons preferred to schedule appointments with him when they visited the First Hospital.
Not long after, Director You had finished his diagnosis and frowned, "Commander Wu, to be honest, I'm not confident I can cure Dr. Carl's illness. I believe other colleagues who have diagnosed him have said the same. His condition is simple; it's caused by prolonged exposure to radioactive material, leading to skin mutations and subsequently internal organ changes. His cells have become problematic, and if they deteriorate further, they could turn into cancer cells."
Commander Wu nodded slightly. The doctors who could be invited to consult on Dr. Carl's case were all renowned in their fields, and their opinions were nearly identical.
But no one had a precedent for curing such patients, because how could ordinary people come into contact with radioactive materials!
"So, how confident are you that you can cure him?" Commander Wu hurriedly asked.
Director You extended three fingers but quickly shook his head, changed it to one finger, and before Commander Wu could respond, he withdrew all his fingers and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm powerless."
Commander Wu's heart sank instantly.
If even Director You, an authority in dermatology, couldn't treat Dr. Carl, then who could?

Just then, Xu Hao suddenly said, "Commander Wu, I can cure him."
Upon hearing Xu Hao's words, Director You immediately looked up at him, incredulously saying, "Young man, it's good to be young, but you can't make such absolute statements. Dr. Carl's illness has troubled so many people; it's not something you can just claim to cure."
Xu Hao stated calmly, "I know my own abilities very well. If I say I can cure him, then I can cure him, and I can even prevent a recurrence."
"Hmph! The young ones nowadays really don't know how to be modest anymore! They start showing off after learning just a little."
Director You felt that right after he admitted his inability to cure, Xu Hao immediately claimed he could, as if the young man was deliberately trying to contradict him.
Commander Wu quickly interjected, "Both of you are renowned physicians far and wide, let's not get upset over this."
Director You glanced at Xu Hao and disdainfully said, "He's a renowned physician? What's his name?"
"This is Xu Hao, Xu Xiao You." Commander Wu quickly explained, "He cured Old Jiang, Old Chen, and even my illness."
"Elder Chen's illness?"
Director You was startled. Without talking about Commander Wu, the illnesses of Elder Jiang and Elder Chen were well-known in their circles, and he had also consulted for them, of course without success. He had recently heard they were cured, but he hadn't expected it was by this young man in front of him.
But Director You still refused to concede. Those were not his areas of expertise. Dr. Carl's disease, however, involved dermatological issues even though they led to mutations, so he scoffed, "Since you're so capable, then tell us how you plan to treat him?"
Xu Hao smiled and said, "Quite simple, with talismans."
"Talismans? Like those used in drawing talismans?"
Director You immediately laughed, scornfully saying, "Are you kidding me? Those deceptive things can save lives?"
"Believe it or not, that's up to you." Xu Hao wasn't concerned about Director You's opinion; what did it have to do with him?
Xu Hao returned with a writing brush, yellow paper, and cinnabar, causing Director You to keep laughing. He pointed at Xu Hao's items and couldn't help saying, "Commander Wu, have you brought in a fortune-teller? Or is he an exorcist?"
Commander Wu looked somewhat embarrassed. He was also unsure whether Xu Hao could cure Dr. Carl's disease since he had never heard of using talismans for treatment before.
While preparing his materials, Xu Hao casually said, "Director You, I can both exorcise ghosts and tell fortunes. Would you like me to read yours?"
"Are you sure? Sure, go ahead and predict my career fortune." Director You said nonchalantly, as he never believed in fortune-telling.
After looking at him, Xu Hao said calmly, "Your hall of fortune is dark with traces of red, resembling blood, which indicates recent career turbulence and potential involvement in a fatal lawsuit."
"How is that possible!" Director You immediately scoffed, "I've just been promoted to vice director. Is that what you call career turbulence? And I treat skin diseases; how could I possibly be involved in a fatal lawsuit?"
Even Commander Wu felt Xu Hao's words were far-fetched. Director You had been progressing smoothly since he started working and was rumored to have powerful backers.
