When Oscar and Henry heard Li Se's words, their faces fell. They were being questioned. One was a medical professor, and the other was a Nobel laureate. Calling them divine doctors was an understatement, yet they were being challenged by a young man, and a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine at that!
"You dare call me a quack? I started studying medicine at ten, became a professor at thirty, conquered various diseases by forty, and received the Nobel Prize at fifty-five. How dare you call me a quack?" Oscar exclaimed in anger.
"Did I say something wrong?" Li Se calmly replied.
Oscar was so furious he couldn't speak. At that moment, a flicker of confusion appeared in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Alright, do not disturb my treatment now." After saying this, Li Se focused on treating Fang Zhengshan's hidden ailment. The earlier acupuncture was primarily for the septicemia. Now that it was finished, he would begin treating the hidden condition.
"Elder Fang, this hidden ailment was caused by martial arts practice, wasn't it?" Li Se inquired.
Thanks to the successful treatment of his septicemia, Fang Zhengshan's complexion had improved significantly. He looked at Li Se with surprise and nodded, "Yes, it was caused by martial arts practice. But I don't understand why practicing martial arts would lead to a hidden ailment."
Fang Zhengshan's statement confirmed that he indeed had a hidden ailment, which made Henry and Oscar's faces turn pale and then purple, as if they had been slapped.
Li Se said, "This is quite normal. If your movement techniques and force application are incorrect, it can lead to internal injuries."
"Little divine doctor, do you have a way to cure it?" Fang Zhengshan asked anxiously.
"Of course!" Li Se smiled, took out a golden needle, circulated his internal Zhenqi, and infused it into the needle. He then inserted the golden needle into Fang Zhengshan's body. The needle vibrated continuously, and a faint buzzing sound could be heard.
"Ah!" Fang Zhengshan cried out in pain.
"Quick, stop him! He's killing him!" Oscar had been waiting for this opportunity.
"I told you long ago that TCM cannot cure diseases!" Henry said coldly.
Fang Jianhua was also startled by his father's reaction and was about to intervene, but he heard Fang Zhengshan exclaim, "Don't come over! The little divine doctor is treating my hidden ailment!"
Hearing his father's words, Fang Jianhua stopped.
"Elder Fang, hang in there. I am unblocking your Ren and Du meridians. Once they are open, your hidden ailment will be cured!" Li Se said with a solemn expression.
"Mm!" Fang Zhengshan nodded with difficulty.
Zhenqi was continuously infused into Fang Zhengshan's body through the golden needle for a full ten minutes. Throughout this prolonged period, Fang Zhengshan endured immense pain. After the meridians were finally unblocked, he let out a long roar, feeling an unprecedented sense of relaxation.
"Ah, this feels so good! I haven't felt like this in years!" Fang Zhengshan exclaimed with great relief.
"Dad, are you really alright?" Fang Jianhua asked excitedly.
"Mm!" Fang Zhengshan nodded, then said gratefully to Li Se, "Little divine doctor, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I might have lost this old life."
He was aware of what had just happened; he had almost lost his life under the treatment of the two Western doctors. If not for Li Se, he wouldn't be feeling this well now; he would have already met the King of Hell.
"Elder Fang, I will write a prescription for you. You should stop practicing that set of martial arts from now on; it's not suitable for you," Li Se said with a smile.
"This..." Fang Zhengshan hesitated, "Can I really not practice it anymore? I've been practicing for so many years. Should I just give up?"
Li Se said helplessly, "Elder Fang, your health is more important. If you continue to practice, hidden ailments will still occur. Moreover, if it happens again, even I will be unable to help."
His medical skills were indeed extraordinary, but he was not an immortal; he could not cure every illness. Of course, another reason was that Fang Zhengshan was old. At this age, any illness was the most difficult to treat, just like Henry and Oscar's situation earlier; a slight mistake could cost him his life.
"I understand," Fang Zhengshan sighed.
"Dad, then our company's project will be given to Hailong Group," Fang Jianhua said.
"Mm!" Fang Zhengshan nodded with a smile and looked at Lin Hu, "I'll have Jianhua take you to the company. Whatever projects you can take on, take them all!"
"Thank you, Elder Fang!" Lin Hu's face lit up with joy. This time, it had been a close call, and after this incident, Hailong Group and Taishan Group had entered into a deep cooperation. From now on, Hailong Group would undoubtedly have a significant position in the entire Jiangnan Province!
Everyone was filled with disbelief. Fang Zhengshan, who had been looked down upon by them, was cured by a takeout delivery driver who was also a doctor. The thought was somewhat ironic.
Zhao Ying's expression turned grim. The Black Dragon Society would likely be suppressed by him from now on.
Cheng Lu's expression changed completely, for she knew that Li Se was about to soar to great heights. She felt a pang of annoyance, finding it more difficult to bear seeing Li Se doing well than making money herself, but at this moment, there was nothing she could do.
As for Oscar and Henry, they were too embarrassed to stay any longer. However, after today's events, their reputations would inevitably be affected, and significantly so.
After staying on Taishan Island for a while longer, Li Se and Lin Hu took their leave. Fang Zhengshan specifically arranged a private jet to send them back.
"Master Li, thank you for this time. Also, here is one hundred million from Zhao Ying, and I've added another hundred million. It's all for you." Lin Hu handed the check to Li Se.
Li Se accepted the check without politeness. He saw no need to be reserved with someone like Lin Hu. However, he then thought of something and said, "In the future, stop using your old ways. Conduct your business honestly."
"Master Li, I understand. From now on, the Black Dragon Society will revere you!" Lin Hu said with great respect, hinting at his desire to follow Li Se.
Li Se was taken aback. Currently, there were the Martial Alliance and the Soul Gang who wished to follow him. These two organizations were already under his leadership. Now, with the addition of the Black Dragon Society, it would greatly aid his future development.
"Are you sure?" Li Se asked Lin Hu.
"Absolutely sure!" Lin Hu had made this decision while on Taishan Island. Although Li Se's current achievements were far from those of the Black Dragon Society, he knew that Li Se's future would undoubtedly lead him to the pinnacle.
Li Se said with a hint of surprise, "I plan to go to the capital in the future."
"The capital?" Lin Hu gasped. He had developed the Black Dragon Society to its current state but had never considered venturing into the capital. At this moment, he realized Li Se's ambitions were not small.
"Haha, Master Li, that's even better. I never thought I'd have the chance to enter the capital one day!"
