The attitude was firm, leaving no room for negotiation.
Lin Hui and his wife both wore uncomfortable expressions. If Li Se were an Imperial Physician, it would be one thing, but he was not. Moreover, their son had been brought to this state by this very person, and now they were being asked to pay ten billion yuan in consultation fees!
Ten billion yuan!
Even for a wealthy man like Lin Hui, it was not easy to come up with such a sum.
"Scum, how dare you make such an outrageous demand?" Chen Jingyuan once again cursed angrily. She had truly reached her limit.
"Twenty billion!" Li Se then raised the price.
Lin Hui's lips twitched, feeling an urge to slap this Chen Jingyuan away. He had told her not to provoke Li Se again, but this woman clearly wasn't listening, provoking him time and time again.
"If you have the guts, raise it to a hundred billion!" Chen Jingyuan shouted.
"Heh, raising it to a hundred billion, would that truly seal your son's fate for the rest of his life?" Li Se sneered. Lin Hui couldn't afford a hundred billion.
"Husband, let's go. I refuse to believe we can't find anyone to cure our son!" Chen Jingyuan couldn't stand looking at Li Se's face any longer. She had also decided that after he left, she would immediately call some people to cripple Li Se as well, to vent her anger.
Lin Hui knew that it was almost impossible to get Li Se to treat his son now. It was too difficult. Let alone twenty billion, even ten billion seemed unlikely. He might be able to manage one billion, but this consultation fee was difficult even for the richest man, Shen Long.
"Divine Physician Li, is it? I've got you noted," Lin Hui said in a low voice. His parting words were clearly a threat.
"Wait a moment!"
At this moment, a voice rang out.
Lin Hui looked over. Du Jinglong, the president of the Chinese Medicine Medical Association, had spoken.
"Who are you?" Lin Hui had not been present when Du Jinglong made his appearance, so he was unaware of the qualifications for applying to be an Imperial Physician.
"I am Du Jinglong, the president of the Chinese Medicine Medical Association, and also the head of the Imperial Physician Review Committee," Du Jinglong introduced himself.
"President Du, hello, hello!" Lin Hui's attitude instantly became much more respectful.
Although Du Jinglong was not an Imperial Physician, his medical skills were undoubtedly extremely brilliant, even second only to those of an Imperial Physician!
"President Du, can you please treat my son?" Lin Hui pleaded.
Du Jinglong said nothing but walked to Lin Tianrui's side. He first took his pulse, then pressed a few points on Lin Tianrui's body with his fingers. His expression turned grave.
"President Du, how is it?" Lin Hui asked urgently.
Du Jinglong still did not answer Lin Hui's question. Instead, he walked to Li Se's side and smiled, "Young friend Li, you don't mind me calling you that, do you?"
"President Du, you are too kind," Li Se smiled and shook his head, indicating he didn't mind.
"I have just examined Lin Tianrui's body. His pulse is erratic, and his meridians are strange. If I'm not mistaken, it should be a meridian seal!" Du Jinglong exclaimed in admiration.
Although he didn't state it explicitly, he knew that this meridian sealing was done by Li Se. Only a true master of Chinese medicine could perform a meridian seal!
He was quite astonished, never expecting Li Se, at such a young age, to not only master Qi Acupuncture and the Nine Needles of the Heavenly Physician but also the meridian seal.
One had to know that even Imperial Physicians found it difficult to perform a meridian seal.
This level of skill was absolutely worthy of an Imperial Physician.
Du Jinglong continued, "Young friend Li, if this continues, this patient may not live much longer."
Western medicine could neither diagnose nor treat this condition. Lin Tianrui was essentially beyond help.
When Lin Hui and his wife heard this, their expressions changed dramatically.
"President Du, even you can't help?" Lin Hui asked anxiously.
Lin Tianrui, sitting in his wheelchair, tried to move his body but couldn't. His breathing became rapid. He was young and didn't want to die like this.
"Scum, if you don't cure my son, I'll call the police and have you arrested!" Chen Jingyuan yelled again.
Lin Hui was truly furious. Why was this woman so foolish? There was no evidence to prove that Li Se was the one who did it. Moreover, Li Se had never admitted to being the perpetrator.
"Oh, perhaps it's a meridian seal," Li Se said, nodding as if he had just realized. "If it's a meridian seal, then he probably won't live long."
"President Du, you must find a way! Doctors have compassion!" Lin Hui pleaded.
Du Jinglong shook his head slightly. "I am powerless. Even if you bring in an Imperial Physician, they will be helpless. The only one who can save your son is young friend Li."
The one who tied the knot must untie it.
Lin Hui's face was extremely grim. He looked at Li Se. As a wealthy man, this was the first time he had suffered a setback at the hands of a young person.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Hui could only plead with Li Se. "Divine Physician Li, I hope you can put aside past grievances and treat my son."
"I said, twenty billion," Li Se repeated.
Lin Hui said with bitterness, "I can't produce twenty billion in cash, but I can let my company offset the debt. My Lin Group has a company worth twenty billion, which I can transfer to Divine Physician Li."
"A company?" Li Se looked at Lin Hui and sneered, "You say it's worth twenty billion, so it's worth twenty billion?"
"Divine Physician Li, this company is called Yuanfeng Group. If you ask anyone who knows, they will tell you that this company has good prospects and is indeed worth twenty billion," Lin Hui gritted his teeth and said.
Shen Long then spoke, "Divine Physician Li, this company is indeed worth twenty billion, and its prospects are truly good."
With Shen Long's endorsement, Li Se naturally believed him and nodded, "Alright, then prepare the contract."
Lin Hui was extremely efficient and immediately called his secretary to prepare the company transfer contract. Once confirmed, Li Se signed his name.
"All profits generated by this company from now on will be donated!" Li Se announced loudly.
Clap, clap, clap…
These words were met with thunderous applause.
Donating all the profits was a significant gesture.
"Divine Physician Li, can you treat him now?" Lin Hui had no time to concern himself with this. He just wanted his son to recover quickly. Giving away a company this time was a massive sacrifice.
Silver needles appeared in Li Se's hand. Without approaching Lin Tianrui, he flicked the needles, which flew out and directly pierced into Lin Tianrui's body.
"Ah!" Lin Tianrui let out a scream.
"Son!" Chen Jingyuan exclaimed, filled with worry. She was about to curse Li Se again, but Lin Hui stopped her.
About a minute later, Lin Tianrui stood up.
With just a single needle, he had resolved an illness that the American Medical Association could not diagnose.
Clap, clap, clap…
The applause erupted again.
This time, the applause was led by Rowling. At this moment, she truly felt how miraculous Chinese medicine was.
