Chapter 1047 The Playboy Clinic
"I'm truly sorry, but we at Renxin Medical Hall cannot accept your request," Lu Shao stated, refusing.
"So, you disagree? Aren't you afraid I'll expose this and ruin Renxin Medical Hall's reputation?"
The young man's expression turned cold, his threat undisguised.
"Renxin Medical Hall is open to treat people, and we do things honestly. A clear conscience fears no slander." Lu Shao stood tall. Truthfully, he didn't quite believe that Renxin Medical Hall's medicinal herbs would be moldy.
Just then, the young man glanced at the heavily made-up woman.
The woman immediately let out a pained groan and cried out, "Oh, my stomach hurts so much! I just took medicine from Renxin Medical Hall, and why am I feeling worse? Has my condition worsened?"
The regular customers around were fine, still trusting Renxin Medical Hall. However, the new patients' faces turned ashen. "What's going on with Renxin Medical Hall? They're actually selling moldy medicine! What if someone dies from this?"
"I heard Renxin Medical Hall is very powerful. Their head doctor even defeated a Korean doctor. I didn't expect their medicinal herbs to be moldy. Maybe that news was fake, just a publicity stunt!"
"People nowadays are so unreliable!"
Hearing the murmurs of the crowd, Lu Shao couldn't help but change his expression, becoming anxious. While Renxin Medical Hall was currently powerful, if something went wrong, people wouldn't be lenient.
It was like being a state-owned enterprise, a central enterprise, or even the top enterprise in Xia Nation. If you made a mistake, people would still scold you and criticize you.
Chen Xuan, standing nearby, observed the unfolding events.
Just as Lu Shao was at a loss, Chen Xuan stepped forward.
Seeing Chen Xuan, Lu Shao felt like he had found a lifeline and prepared to explain the situation: "Mr. Chen, these herbs..."
"I already know what happened. Don't worry, leave it to me to handle," Chen Xuan nodded calmly.
The young man looked at Chen Xuan, unsure of his confidence, and his expression turned serious.
Chen Xuan looked at the young man and said indifferently, "You say our medicinal herbs are moldy?"
"That's right!"
The young man said sternly, "Are you blind? Can't you see?"
As he spoke, the young man kicked the herbs thrown on the ground. The Angelica sinensis was indeed severely moldy.
Chen Xuan smiled, not angered, and squatted down. He picked up the moldy Angelica sinensis from the ground and said with a smile, "Are you sure these are from Renxin Medical Hall?"
A flicker of surprise flashed in the young man's eyes, but he said sternly, "Of course, they are from Renxin Medical Hall. I just got the medicine yesterday, how could it be fake?"
Lu Shao also nodded beside him.
This couple had a conflict with other patients yesterday over queuing, and he remembered it.
This prescription was indeed from Renxin Medical Hall.
But—
"Slap!"
Chen Xuan slapped the young man across the face. "Say that again?! Where did it actually come from?"
This slap stunned the young man. He never expected Chen Xuan to dare to lay hands on someone in public. After all, doing so could easily provide a handle, as initiating physical violence was wrong.
But how could he know that Chen Xuan had absolute confidence and backing?
"Renxin Medical Hall..."
"Slap!"
Chen Xuan slapped the young man on the other side of his face again.
"If you hit me again, I'll report you to the authorities!"
The young man was so beaten that tears were about to stream down his face.
"Report me? Fine, if you have the guts, report me. I have proof that your medicinal herbs did not originate from our Renxin Medical Hall."
Chen Xuan said with a faint smile, unconcerned.
The young man was clearly guilty and no longer mentioned reporting to the authorities. "You... what proof do you have?"
Lu Shao caught the guilty look on the young man's face and frowned. Could it be that these herbs weren't from Renxin Medical Hall?
Chen Xuan said lightly, "There are two places in Xia Nation that produce Angelica sinensis: one is in the Western Mountains, and the other is in the Eastern Mountains. The types of Angelica sinensis from the Eastern and Western Mountains are completely different."
"Renxin Medical Hall has always procured Angelica sinensis from the Western Mountains. Your moldy Angelica sinensis clearly came from the Eastern Mountains!"
At this moment, Chen Xuan took an Angelica sinensis from the herb box in Renxin Medical Hall and threw it, along with the moldy herbs, to the young man.
The young man placed the two herbs together and examined them closely. His eyes grew sore, but he couldn't find any difference.
The Angelica sinensis from the Eastern and Western Mountains had very subtle differences that ordinary people couldn't discern. However, experienced old TCM doctors could tell.
Upon hearing this, Lu Shao exclaimed, "That's right! All the herbs Renxin Medical Hall purchases are from the Western Mountains. I even have the invoices!"
At this point, a staff member from Renxin Medical Hall rushed over with a procurement list for medicinal herbs, which clearly stated: Western Mountain Angelica sinensis...
Seeing this, the young man's face grew even uglier.
The onlookers immediately realized that this guy was trying to scam them. Those who had previously accused Renxin Medical Hall blushed, the rebuke coming much faster than expected.
"Tell me, who sent you here?"
Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes, staring at the young man coldly.
"No one, no one at all. I'm just short of money!"
The young man hurriedly denied it. The heavily made-up woman, seeing through the deception, stopped acting and quickly got up from the ground.
"Not telling the truth?"
Chen Xuan rolled up his sleeves, looking fierce.
The young man, having witnessed Chen Xuan's ruthless methods, quickly said, "It's the Playboy Clinic!"
"Playboy Clinic?"
This strange clinic name made Chen Xuan frown.
"It's the 'playboy' from 'playboy'..."
The young man stammered.
"Get lost!"
Chen Xuan kicked the young man's rear. The young man fell face-first onto the ground, his face covered in blood.
But he didn't care about anything else. He scrambled to his feet, grabbed the woman's hand, and fled outside frantically.
Renxin Medical Hall gradually returned to its normal order.
Chen Xuan looked at Lu Shao, "What kind of clinic is this Playboy Clinic? I've never heard of it."
Hearing the name, Lu Shao's expression turned peculiar. He said, "Mr. Chen, TCM is in decline. To promote TCM, the Medical Association established TCM colleges, recruiting disciples, mostly from medical families."
"A new batch of graduates has just finished, all from medical families, all playboys. They are arrogant and have jointly opened a clinic across the street. Their popularity is reportedly dismal. Perhaps they felt Renxin Medical Hall was stealing their business, so they came to cause trouble."
"So that's how it is."
Chen Xuan shrugged, not taking it to heart.
"Mr. Chen, don't be careless. Those playboys' elders are all renowned TCM doctors in the provincial capital. If they use their family background to deal with us, it will be difficult for us to handle," Lu Shao said urgently.
Chen Xuan smiled slightly, "Competing with background and power? That's what I fear the least."
Upon hearing this, Lu Shao became anxious for Chen Xuan. But he soon realized, that's right. Chen Xuan had just defeated the King of Korean Medicine, and countless old TCM doctors wanted to curry favor with him.
If these playboys dared to cause trouble for Chen Xuan, it would be tantamount to seeking death!
Thinking of the playboys' embarrassed expressions, Lu Shao's face filled with excitement!
