As Li Se finished speaking, Zhou Chunfeng's family all laughed, their laughter filled with disdain. They had never taken Li Se seriously in the first place, and now this fellow dared to boast so boldly. Were they supposed to beg him?
"Aren't you ashamed? With your meager abilities, you expect us to beg you?" Zhong Man said with utter contempt. "What right do you have to make us beg you? Do you really think you're a divine doctor? Have you started believing your own delusions after pretending for so long?"
"We'd rather jump off a building than beg you. How amusing, what are you pretending for, what a joke!" Wen Lili said dismissively.
Zhou Chunfeng ignored Li Se and turned to Director Tang, frowning. "You are the director here. My son's kidneys are in trouble. Your hospital must take responsibility, or I will report you. Don't dismiss my words; with a single word from me, Zhou Chunfeng, you won't be able to be director anymore!"
Director Tang replied indifferently, "I told you long ago that I invited a divine doctor, but you refused to believe me and didn't want my invited Divine Doctor Li to treat him. Since that's the case, you can complain and report me all you want; I have a clear conscience."
"Well said, 'a clear conscience'!" Zhou Chunfeng sneered.
"How shameless! A director like you, with a clear conscience?" Wen Lili said mockingly.
Zhong Man chimed in sarcastically, "Doctors are like this nowadays. Without a little red envelope, without more money, they won't treat you, yet they still talk about a clear conscience."
"Mr. Zhou, I actually have another way," Doctor Jiang said at this moment.
"Oh, Doctor Jiang, what other way do you have?" Zhou Chunfeng asked eagerly.
Doctor Jiang said, "My teacher happens to be in Qingyun City. If we can invite him, I think there might still be a chance."
"Then quickly invite your teacher!" Zhou Chunfeng urged.
"It's just... my teacher is a medical professor, so his consultation fee will be quite expensive," Doctor Jiang hesitated.
Zhou Chunfeng replied nonchalantly, "Money is a minor issue for me. As long as your teacher can cure my son, I'm willing to pay any amount!"
"Yes, money is really a small matter for us," Zhong Man added.
"Alright, I'll call my teacher now," Doctor Jiang nodded and walked aside to make a call.
"It seems you truly don't want Divine Doctor Li to treat him," Director Tang said helplessly.
"Beg him?" Zhong Man found it amusing. "Are you really taking us for fools? With his appearance, and he's a Chinese medicine doctor? Do you think we'd believe you?"
Since they didn't believe, Director Tang could do nothing. This family was too arrogant. Initially, everything was simple; Li Se wouldn't even charge a consultation fee. But their distrust would likely make it difficult for Li Se to treat him.
They had complicated a simple matter. Director Tang also wanted to see what kind of expression they would have when their so-called professor-level famous doctor failed and they eventually had to beg Li Se.
At this moment, Doctor Jiang returned from his call, a smile on his face. "Mr. Zhou, my teacher will be here shortly."
"Good, good, good!" Zhou Chunfeng nodded. "With your teacher here, I believe there shouldn't be any major problems."
"My teacher is a professor, unlike some people who, at such a young age, don't focus on learning medicine but only on deceiving others. It ultimately harms themselves and others!" Doctor Jiang said, with a pointed mockery.
"Did you hear that? He's talking about you!" Wen Lili pointed at Li Se's nose and scolded him without hesitation.
"I detest people pointing at my nose!" Li Se frowned.
"So what if I point at you?" Wen Lili completely disregarded Li Se's words. "You're just a scapegoat pushed out by the hospital. Do you really think you have some skill? I'm telling you, you are also responsible for my husband's condition. Just wait, I'm going to report you too. I'll use my resources to ruin your reputation!"
"Are you sure you're still going to point?" Li Se's eyes turned cold.
"I will point, what are you going to do about it?" Wen Lili said brazenly.
"Heh, when you beg me for treatment later, you'd better break your own finger. Otherwise, I won't treat you," Li Se said calmly.
"Pfft..." Wen Lili scoffed. "Break my finger? Fine, if we end up begging you later, I'll break all ten of my fingers myself!"
"Kid, this isn't your place to speak. Step aside!" Zhou Chunfeng said with some displeasure. He had never taken Li Se seriously, but this fellow was too arrogant, acting so presumptuously in front of him. It was as if he didn't consider him important at all.
"Honey, this guy is too arrogant. Let's find some people to teach him a good lesson," Zhong Man had long been annoyed with Li Se.
"I advise you to think twice!" Director Tang looked at them. "If you push things too far, it will be really difficult when you have to beg later."
"Director, I'm telling you, I'll make sure you don't last a day in this position!" Zhou Chunfeng shouted.
"Stubborn!" Director Tang sighed and decided not to say anything more.
Many doctors in the hospital naturally shared Director Tang's sentiment. The more arrogant Zhou Chunfeng was now, the more pathetic he would be when he had to beg Divine Doctor Li later.
Soon, Doctor Jiang's teacher arrived.
"Teacher!" Doctor Jiang called out respectfully, then introduced him to Zhou Chunfeng. "Mr. Zhou, this is my teacher, Professor Oscar!"
"Professor Oscar!" Zhou Chunfeng said politely.
"Professor Oscar, please save my son!" Zhong Man pleaded.
"Don't worry, it's our duty as doctors!" Oscar nodded, but he didn't notice Li Se and entered the emergency room. However, after a brief examination, he walked out shaking his head.
"Professor Oscar, how is it?" Zhou Chunfeng asked urgently.
"Alas, the kidney damage is too severe; it cannot be saved," Oscar said, shaking his head repeatedly.
"How could this happen..." Zhou Chunfeng took a step back. This was his own son.
"My son, how could this happen..." Zhong Man sobbed uncontrollably, then she suddenly glared at Director Tang and the others, shouting fiercely, "This hospital, give me back my son's kidney!"
"Give me back my husband's kidney!" Wen Lili roared. Her future happiness was gone.
"Don't rush, I know someone who can cure it," Oscar said, seeing how emotional the family was.
Zhou Chunfeng quickly asked, "Who?"
"He is..." Oscar was about to speak when he saw Li Se present and his face lit up with joy. "Ah, Divine Doctor Li, you are here! I was just about to say that only you can cure him!"
Saying this, he walked towards Li Se.
At this moment, Zhou Chunfeng and the others were stunned into silence...
