All Americans looked at Chu Yunlong with angry faces, as if they were questioning why he had done such a thing.
Chu Yunlong, full of apology, said, "Mr. Skarna, I indeed neglected to inform everyone that their presence was no longer necessary, wasting your time, but I will pay the consultation fee as promised, which should be reasonable, right?"
Skarna snorted coldly, "I don't care about that paltry consultation fee. What I care about is why you suddenly stopped us from treating your daughter. Has someone already cured her?"
"That's not the case; it's just that..."
Before Chu Yunlong could finish, Skarna immediately interrupted him, "If that's not the case, then why won't you let us treat her? Do you think our American medical techniques are inadequate? Or do you simply look down on our American medical technology?"
"I didn't mean that at all; you've misunderstood," Chu Yunlong said somewhat speechlessly. What's with these guys? I've already promised to pay you the fee, what more do they want?
Skarna said in a cold voice, "If that isn't your intention, then let us see for ourselves what illness your daughter has. If you refuse us access, we will seek help from the American Embassy in Huaya, claiming that you are playing games with us and insulting us!"
Skarna spoke in a domineering and unreasonable manner, yet he did so fearlessly.
If he escalated the situation to the embassy, Chu Yunlong would become extremely passive and might even lose his position!
Chu Yunlong, feeling helpless, looked at Xu Hao and said, "Young Master Xu, what do you think..."
This was Xu Hao's home after all, and naturally, the decision was his to make.
Skarna only then noticed Xu Hao and laughed coldly, "What? Mr. Chu, the esteemed leader of an entire Huaya city, actually needs a green youngster to make decisions for him?"
Xu Hao said indifferently, "Skarna? Fifty-three years old, member of the American Medical Association, specializes in neurology, author of 'Introduction to Neurology' and several other books, an authority in American neurology, nominated for the Nobel Prize three times?"
Skarna snorted coldly, "Correct, but what exactly is your point, youngster?"
Xu Hao smiled and said, "It's a pity, though, that despite being nominated three times for the Nobel Prize, you've never won. That is truly tragic."
"You..." Skarna instantly became angry. His biggest regret was being nominated for the Nobel Prize three times without winning it, making many of his colleagues mock him in private, calling him the eternal Nobel Prize runner-up.
Suddenly, Skarna snorted coldly, "That's still better than you Huaya people. How many Nobel Prizes have you won so far?"
Xu Hao spoke dispassionately, "Huaya has only been developing for half a century, and there have been many upheavals during that time. Yet since the end of your American War of Independence, your country has been continuously developing, entering a period of rapid growth especially after the Civil War, amounting to over two hundred years by now.
Your modernization process is four to five times longer than Huaya's, so it's natural that we have shortcomings. However, Huaya is striving to catch up. Do you believe that in the next ten years, the global centers of technology, economy, and finance will all be Huaya?"
"Foolish dreams!" Skarna said with a sneer, "Our America is the strongest and cannot be surpassed!"
Xu Hao shook his head slightly and said, "Since you're an authority in the American medical field, then I will speak to you about medicine. A lot of traditional Chinese medicine's knowledge has been lost, which is why many people have the illusion that it is ineffective, calling it a fraud or rubbish. But what if the medical skills were fully passed down? They would be miraculously effective, something you foreigners couldn't even begin to comprehend."
"I see, so you're the one who's going to cure Mr. Chu's daughter, right? You praise traditional Chinese medicine so much, it seems like you want to treat her with it," Skarna, not a foolish man, quickly understood.
Xu Hao nodded slightly, "Correct, I'm going to treat Chu Xiaoxiao, and the method I will be using could be considered part of traditional Chinese medicine."
Traditional Chinese medicine encompasses a vast array of treatments, including healing with Qi Force, which is a form of therapy that is not well known due to its stringent requirements.
Skarna immediately said, "Then I want to see how you're going to treat her, and if you fail, you have to openly admit that traditional Chinese medicine is inferior to Western medicine!" If yоu'rе nоt оn М*VLЕМ*РYR, yоu'rе viеwing а соpy.
Xu Hao smiled faintly and said, "Of course, but if I succeed, then you must declare that Western medicine is inferior to traditional Chinese medicine, how about that?"
Skarna responded, "That's fine, but I want to first examine what illness Mr. Chu's daughter actually has."
"Agreed," Xu Hao nodded slightly and then led them inside.
When they saw Anna, they were all a bit surprised. Was Xu Hao hiding a beauty in his golden house?
But after a few more glances, their main focus returned to Chu Xiaoxiao lying on the stretcher.
As they approached within three meters of Chu Xiaoxiao, they all felt a chill strike them, a coldness that seemed to penetrate their bones.
