"What are you still standing there for? Brother Hu is out, hurry and kneel!" Wen Qing roared. These Huang Shanshan and Li Se were too oblivious, still standing there without moving. This was Lin Hu, the president of the Black Dragon Society!
*Smack!*
Just then, a loud slap echoed. It was Lin Hu who had slapped Wen Qing hard. He was about to cry. How could he have offended this great being again?
"Brother Hu, why are you hitting me?" Wen Qing was stunned by the slap. Had Brother Hu made a mistake? Why would he hit her?
"I'm hitting you, you slut! How dare you offend the Master? Get down on your knees!" Lin Hu roared.
Wen Qing's face changed drastically. She could hardly believe what she was hearing. Master? Who is the Master? Soon, she realized something. Could it be Huang Shanshan's boyfriend?
"Brother Hu, I..." Wen Qing naturally didn't want to kneel. If she knelt, she would never be able to hold her head up in front of Huang Shanshan again.
"Kneel!" Lin Hu said fiercely.
*Thump!*
Wen Qing was scared by Lin Hu's demeanor and dared not delay any further. She immediately knelt before Huang Shanshan and Li Se, begging, "Shanshan, we are classmates, please let me go..."
Huang Shanshan's expression was calm, without the slightest ripple. She no longer had much affection for her old classmate. She said faintly, "Let's go in."
"Mm!" Li Se nodded.
"Please, come in!" Lin Hu said respectfully.
Wen Qing felt that everything was fine and was about to get up, but Lin Hu stopped her, "You keep kneeling. You can't get up until the Master leaves!"
The bodyguard beside her was trembling, his face pale...
As soon as they entered the villa, they heard a baby crying. Lin Hu explained the problem with his child to Li Se. The baby had been crying incessantly since waking up.
Li Se pondered. When he arrived at the baby's side, an old Chinese physician with white hair was examining Lin Hu's child.
The physician soon reached a conclusion. He shook his head and said, "President Lin, your son's body has no problems."
"No problems, then why is he crying all the time?" Lin Hu said with some dissatisfaction.
"This..." the physician hesitated for a moment and said, "President Lin, I will prescribe a formula for your son, which should have some effect."
"No need, I have invited a divine physician," Lin Hu said casually.
"President Lin, the divine physician you mentioned, could it be him?" The physician noticed Li Se at this moment and couldn't help but frown.
"That's right, this is Divine Physician Li, who is also a Chinese physician like you," Lin Hu introduced proudly.
"President Lin, forgive me for being blunt, but Chinese medicine relies on experience. Without a certain period of accumulation, it is impossible to graduate. You are resorting to desperate measures out of anxiety," the physician said earnestly.
Li Se looked at the old physician and said neither subserviently nor with arrogance, "Esteemed old physician, it is not that being young means one's medical skills are necessarily poor, nor does being old mean one's medical skills are necessarily good. If that were the case, then why can't you cure President Lin's son?"
The old physician raised his eyebrows, very displeased, "Young man, are you questioning my medical skills? It's ridiculous. Do you know who I am? I, Tang Zhongfang, have practiced medicine all my life and have served as a healthcare physician for leaders of a certain city. Many people like to call me an imperial physician. What right do you have to question my medical skills here?"
At this moment, Tang Zhongfang was extremely angry. As an old Chinese physician, his medical skills were recognized by many. The mere fact that he had served as a healthcare physician for leaders of a certain city was enough to rival that of an imperial physician, as imperial physicians were also appointed to treat leaders.
And at this very moment, a young man who appeared out of nowhere dared to question his medical skills. It was utterly laughable!
"So it's Old Master Tang, my apologies."
Li Se cupped his hands with a smile and said, "However, in the end, people just like to call you an imperial physician, but you are not an imperial physician after all. This shows that your medical skills are still limited. I'm not questioning you, but you think that young people's medical skills are inadequate, which is a grave mistake."
Tang Zhongfang's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. This Li Se said he wasn't questioning him, but then he said he wasn't an imperial physician in the end, wasn't that a form of questioning? He said angrily, "Kid, when I started learning Chinese medicine, you weren't even born. To speak to me like this now, you have quite the courage. Didn't your teacher teach you respect for elders? If you were to become my disciple, I wouldn't even accept someone with your character. You are simply a scoundrel!"
"Old Master Tang, this is the divine physician I invited. Mind your words!" Lin Hu said sternly.
Others might fear Lin Hu, but Tang Zhongfang did not. After all, he was a healthcare physician for leaders of a certain city. He said, "President Lin, I am merely stating the truth. At his age, do you really think his medical skills are outstanding? When have you ever seen a skilled young Chinese physician? Even if there are some with good talent, their medical skills at this age are bound to be limited!"
"Since Old Master Tang is so confident, did you diagnose the problem with President Lin's child?" Li Se asked calmly. He had no good feelings for old physicians who believed that young people were incompetent.
Tang Zhongfang's expression stiffened, but he quickly recovered and snorted, "No. In such situations, it's usually heat in the heart meridian, causing incessant crying. I'll write a prescription, and after taking my medicine, he will be fine."
Li Se's expression became a bit more serious, "Is this how Old Master Tang treats illnesses? What do you mean 'usually'? You've lived for so many years, and you treat illnesses by guessing?"
"Presumptuous!" Tang Zhongfang roared. "You, a mere youngster, dare to question my medical practice. What do you think you are?"
Saying that, he looked at Lin Hu beside him and said angrily, "President Lin, it's either him or me here. You choose!"
Lin Hu replied decisively, "Of course, I choose Master Li. Didn't Old Master Tang fail to even diagnose the condition?"
Tang Zhongfang's throat seemed to be choked. He truly hadn't expected Lin Hu to choose a young man. He became somewhat agitated, "Nonsense, this is utter nonsense. Fine, fine, then I shall leave!"
He took only two steps. Seeing that no one stopped him, Tang Zhongfang was furious. He said coldly, "President Lin, handing your child over to a young man, you will regret it!"
Lin Hu frowned slightly, somewhat displeased. Although Tang Zhongfang was a healthcare physician for leaders of a certain city, he was being so presumptuous in front of him, which annoyed him to some extent.
However, before Lin Hu could speak, Li Se smiled and said, "Old Master Tang, you just mentioned heat in the heart meridian. If I'm not mistaken, the prescription you wanted to write is to decoct Coptis chinensis for 30 ml of juice, mix it with human milk, and add sugar. Am I correct?"
As soon as he said this, Tang Zhongfang's face changed: "How did you know?"
