"What?"
Upon hearing Tang Pingfan and Qi Zhilu's words, Jin Yulan looked incredulous. "Impossible, this is too absurd. My husband has pulmonary tuberculosis, but his other internal organs are fine and have always been healthy. Why would they suddenly fail? Did you misdiagnose?"
"Madam, we understand your feelings. It's understandable that you can't accept it immediately, but we are telling the truth."
Tang Pingfan looked at Jin Yulan and said calmly, "Old Qi and I have been practicing medicine for forty years. We have never misdiagnosed a patient, and our words are never wrong. If you don't believe us, you can arrange for the patient to have an X-ray, but that will only agitate him and hasten his departure."
"Madam, Old Tang is right. You need to accept reality. Although our reputation isn't as great as Ghost Doctor Qin Yanluo's, our words have never been proven wrong, except for that one time..."
Qi Zhilu stopped speaking abruptly. They still couldn't comprehend what had happened that time.
Song Qingyi was poisoned by a snake. Her heartbeat and breathing had stopped. However, Tang Pingfan and Qi Zhilu felt a momentary disorientation, and then found Song Qingyi awake, with all her vital signs completely normal.
Tang Pingfan and Qi Zhilu had never understood how this happened. Fearing they would be considered insane, they hadn't told anyone and had no intention of doing so.
However, such a miraculous event happening once would not happen a second time.
Sometimes, Tang Pingfan and Qi Zhilu felt a great pity. If the patient hadn't been Song Qingyi, they would have thoroughly studied her to understand what had happened.
But since it was Song Qingyi, there was no hope for that.
Firstly, Song Qingyi's ex-husband was Shen Tianjun, and if Shen Tianjun knew they were using Song Qingyi for research, he would surely take their lives.
Secondly, Song Qingyi's elder brother was Song Shadao, known as the Mad King of Slaughter. If he found out they dared to scheme against his own sister, it would be even more terrifying.
"Mom, don't believe them. They're all quacks, their words are unreliable. I know Dr. John from the Royal College of England. He's currently a doctor at a prestigious hospital in Nanling, and he's particularly skilled in internal medicine. I'll find him, and I'm sure he can cure Dad."
As Jin Yulan's expression grew grim, Luo Xiaobai suddenly held her mother's hand and said with confidence, "Miss Luo, we know the doctor you mentioned, John. We've even had academic exchanges with him. He's very young, yet his medical skills are superb, already at the level of a renowned physician. But I regret to tell you that his skills cannot save your father."
Tang Pingfan said faintly, "If you don't believe us, you can try him. But I guarantee that his arrival will be of no help."
"Our final diagnosis, made by us two old men, has never been overturned by anyone in Nanling or even the entire Dragon Country in decades."
"Is that so?"
Hearing Tang Pingfan's words, Shen Lang, who had been silent, suddenly spoke. "Um, since he's going to die anyway, can you let me try?"
"You?"
Upon hearing Shen Lang's words, Tang Pingfan and Qi Zhilu looked at him in unison. "How are you here?"
Tang Pingfan and Qi Zhilu were the attending physicians for Song Qingyi last time. They had naturally met Shen Lang and knew he was Song Qingyi's biological son and Song Shadao's nephew.
However, regarding Shen Lang, the two doctors, like others present that day, seemed to have their memories obscured. They only remembered Shen Lang entering the ward, and then couldn't recall many subsequent events, especially why Song Qingyi woke up. They couldn't figure it out even if they racked their brains.
"Doctors, long time no see. It's good to see you again."
Although these two doctors hadn't cured Song Qingyi, Shen Lang knew they had participated in the initial rescue efforts, so he was very grateful to them.
"Young Master Shen, I didn't expect you to be here. What a coincidence."
Tang Pingfan looked at Shen Lang and smiled. "Your uncle and I are sworn brothers of friendship, and your mother is also a long-time friend. Although you are not related by blood to them, you can still be considered my junior."
"Young Master Shen, as your elder, please don't think I'm being nosy, but you are still young. Be cautious with your words and actions, and absolutely do not act recklessly."
"This patient's internal organs have already failed. I can guarantee that he will die within half an hour. Please do not act recklessly."
Tang Pingfan was a casual person. He wouldn't bother with others, but since Shen Lang was Song Shadao's godson, he had to remind him.
"Thank you for the reminder, Professor Tang. But since I dared to say it, it means I have confidence."
Shen Lang looked at Tang Pingfan and Qi Zhilu. "His internal organs have failed, but he still has breathing and a heartbeat. As long as he hasn't breathed his last, I guarantee I can cure him."
"Young Master Shen, your words are utterly absurd. How can you cure someone whose internal organs have failed, whose oil has run out and lamp is dry?"
Qi Zhilu was furious upon hearing Shen Lang's words. "Although the patient is undoubtedly going to die, I hope he will be treated with respect. He is not your experimental subject."
"I will not allow you to treat the patient as an experimental subject, nor will any doctor in this hospital."
"Yes, I, the old man, will be the first to object!"
After Qi Zhilu finished speaking, Tang Pingfan immediately jumped out to object. "As long as I am here today, you will not be allowed to act recklessly. I strongly advise you to leave now, or I will have to call your mother and uncle, so as not to implicate them due to your rashness."
"Sigh..."
Hearing Tang Pingfan and Qi Zhilu's words, Shen Lang said helplessly, "Professors, I am telling the truth. Why can't you believe me?"
"Think about it from another perspective. If I save the patient, it will not only be good for the patient but also for you, as you will witness medical skills that you have never seen before."
Shen Lang looked at Tang Pingfan and Qi Zhilu, his gaze filled with strong anticipation. "Just let me try, can you?"
"Husband, what are you doing? Why are you asking for their permission?"
After Shen Lang finished speaking, Wang Yuyan, who had been silent, spoke. She said to Shen Lang, "Husband, Uncle's condition is very serious. Just treat him. You don't need anyone's permission. If anything happens, I'll bear the consequences."
As soon as Wang Yuyan finished speaking, Jin Yulan, Luo Xiaoqing, and Luo Xiaobai were about to try and dissuade her, but Wang Yuyan's icy glare made the three of them lose the courage to speak.
