482: Chapter 475 Imperial Physician 482: Chapter 475 Imperial Physician Inoue Keiko’s departure didn’t bother Chen Hai in the slightest.
This woman had not forgotten to threaten him as she left…
If it hadn’t been a public place, and she wasn’t a beautiful woman, Chen Hai might have kicked her.
Sun Jinzhong’s gang’s eyeballs were spinning nonstop.
He reluctantly withdrew his gaze only after Inoue Keiko’s Alpha disappeared at the end of the street.
“Cousin, such a beautiful woman and you simply told her to get lost without a hint of pity for the fairer sex!”
“If you’re not interested in her, you could have let me have a go!”
“She just sat next to me and she smelled so good, I almost reacted just from sniffing her scent!”
“Nowadays, beauties are scarce resources.
It’s a pity to let her go, a real pity…”
Licking his lips, this guy talked and talked, and then even started shaking his head and swaying.
“You can do it, go for it!”
“When she left, didn’t she say she’d stay in Liuyuan County for two more days, and she’s staying at Yujing Garden Hotel, room 601?”
“If you really can handle her, that’s your skill, and I’d have no objection whatsoever!”
Chen Hai rolled his eyes at Sun Jinzhong.
Since he rarely got together with his two cousins and Tong Daqiang, his mood was quite good at first.
Although Inoue Keiko had come and abruptly caused a scene, it was just a minor interruption.
He lifted his newly filled glass of beer and made a toasting gesture to his companions, then gulped it down in one go.
“Cousin, are you really going to let me handle Inoue Keiko?”
“If I cause any trouble, you’ve got to back me up, okay?”
Sun Jinzhong was looking rather sly.
Chen Hai couldn’t tell what he was plotting, but after drinking the beer Chen Hai toasted him with, Sun Jinzhong suddenly spoke up again.
“What are you thinking?
Let’s hear it.”
“As long as it isn’t murder or arson, I’ll back you up on any trivial matter without you even having to ask!” chuckled Chen Hai, nodding in agreement.
Sun Jinzhong was always a handful.
However, if he really could do something to Inoue Keiko, Chen Hai wouldn’t mind at all, he’d even enjoy watching the show.
After all, the threats she had made in front of him were enough to make him detest her thoroughly.
“Cousin, with your word, I’m relieved!”
“I’ll head over to Yujing Garden Hotel later, and if I tell that Japanese woman that I have a way to get my hands on that agreement of yours, I wonder what her reaction will be?”
“Using that as a condition, I’ll have her spend the night with me…”
With a lecherous face, he chuckled hehe a few times and then deliberately paused without continuing.
This guy was clearly bluffing.
Coming up with such a crooked idea was definitely in line with his character.
“You’re walking a fine line, you might end up worse off than you started!” Chen Hai gave him an exasperated look.
“This is Liuyuan County, not Japan, there’s nothing to worry about!”
“I’m just going to negotiate with her.
If she doesn’t agree, the most I’ll do is leave.
It’s not like she’ll get mad and beat me up, right?”
“Besides, the Dharma Method you taught me for physical training, I’ve been practicing it every day since I got back from Myanmar North.”
“That Japanese woman is so petite.
I could take on ten like her.
If she really wants to hit me, she’d have to be able to beat me first!”
With an air of a pig not fearing boiling water, Sun Jinzhong shrugged his shoulders and responded.
Even thinking about potential consequences in case of failure, apart from swearing to himself, Chen Hai was frankly speechless.
Wang Dalong’s gaze flickered a bit.
Seeing that Chen Hai seemed to approve of Sun Jinzhong’s plan, he huddled with Sun Jinzhong, and the two of them whispered for a while.
He had been successful in the past, seen many pretty women, and that was a fact.
However, after being locked up in Bitter Kiln for so long, as a normal man, to say he didn’t think about women would be a lie!
When Inoue Keiko first appeared, he acted indifferently because he considered women of her calibre out of his league, at least for the moment.
But now, after hearing Sun Jinzhong’s thoughts and believing there might be a chance of success, Wang Dalong also began to get ideas.
“Brother Qiang, don’t you get tired of your nagging wife at home?”
“Want to join us for a group activity?”
Having aligned thoughts with Wang Dalong, Sun Jinzhong looked at Tong Daqiang with a knowing smirk and invited him.
“No thanks, I’ll pass on messing around with you guys.”
“You know what Fangfang is like.”
“If I don’t go home for one night, she’ll get furious.
She might just chase me down the street with a kitchen knife!”
Tong Daqiang repeatedly waved his hands, politely refusing.
Chen only met his wife once.
That one time, after Tong Daqiang had drunk a bit much, his wife Fangfang came looking for him, and without saying a word, she started slapping him across the face one after another.
It had to be said that Tong Daqiang’s wife was indeed very fierce!
“Being a married man has its drawbacks, you want to have some fun but you always have to be careful about this and that!”
“It’s more comfortable being single, right, Brother Dalong?”
It wasn’t surprising to Sun Jinzhong that Tong Daqiang reacted this way.
His invitation to Tong Daqiang to join the group activity was somewhat teasing in nature.
As for Wang Dalong, he used to have mistresses everywhere and never took his own wife seriously.
He was in for less than a year before he got divorced and became a loner.
When the two fifty-something bachelors got together, they naturally hit it off, especially in certain matters.
“Alright, Brother Zhong, stop making things difficult for Brother Qiang.
He still has to go back and ‘pay his taxes,’ it’s not like he’s the same as you.”
“It’s getting late, let’s call it a day and disperse!”
“Come on, Brother Qiang, I’ll walk back with you, we’re going the same way.”
Chen didn’t bother with Sun Jinzhong and Wang Dalong, those two guys who were led around by their desires.
According to them, they only wanted to trick Inoue Keiko for a bit.
Logically speaking, it shouldn’t lead to any major issues!
With that in mind, he didn’t bother to take that extra worry upon himself.
Standing up, he slung the fishing rod over his shoulder and called out to Brother Qiang.
“It’s really getting late, I should be heading back too!”
“Brother Dalong, Brother Zhong, I hope you hit the jackpot.
Tomorrow, I’ll ask you about the results!” Tong Daqiang chuckled and hurriedly stood up.
After greeting Sun Jinzhong and Wang Dalong, he and Chen left Xu’s Iron Plate Burn and headed towards the streets outside, one after the other.
…
The next day, after ten in the morning.
There was still no news from Sun Jinzhong and Wang Dalong.
Several elderly traditional Chinese physicians who had rushed over from Capital City had already arrived at Wuling City Airport first.
The Wuling City Airport, being in existence for over ten years and, although part of the city, it was only about twenty or so kilometers from Liuyuan County.
It took over an hour to go there and back, and Chen together with Ye Qingqing managed to pick up the elderly Chinese physicians and bring them into the county.
After arranging their hotel and having lunch together.
The elderly physicians wasted no time and went straight to Jiang Meixian’s apartment.
Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes observation, listening, questioning, and pulse-taking.
Watching the elderly physicians diagnose his mother’s illness, Chen felt an inexplicable sense of nervousness.
“Elder Huang, Elder Sun, Elder Zhang, how is my mother’s condition?
Is there a way to treat her dementia?”
Seeing the elderly physicians finish taking the pulse and discussing among themselves for a while, with all of them frowning and looking worried, Chen couldn’t help but ask.
“Chen, what western medicine refers to as dementia, in our view, is a depletion of Essence Qi and a loss of nourishment to the clear orifices, causing brain dysfunction.”
“This kind of illness, though centered in the brain, is closely related to an imbalance of the five zang-organs and six fu-organs.”
“By looking at your mother’s symptoms, this is a typical case of insufficient ‘marrow sea.'”
…
After exchanging looks, the oldest-looking Elder Huang with white hair and beard explained to Chen.
All of them came from high places, so there was no doubting their skills.
Typically, their clients were big-shot figures.
For ordinary people, they wouldn’t even be aware of their existence, let alone ask them to provide diagnoses and treatments.
It was Chen’s good fortune to have three physicians of such stature willing to diagnose Jiang Meixian.
Under normal circumstances, one wouldn’t even dare think of such a thing.
It was only after Chen had survived a nuclear explosion with his physical body, attracting high-level attention, that he could enjoy this exceptional treatment.
Elder Huang took his time explaining to Chen.
Unfortunately, Chen was befuddled by some of the professional terminologies used in Chinese medicine and couldn’t understand at all.
“Elders, is there a way to treat my mother’s illness?” Chen patiently listened until Elder Huang finished speaking and then directly asked again.
“This…
it’s a bit difficult!”
“If your mother were ten years younger, I might have a thirty percent confidence in curing her disease!”
“But now, due to improper care in earlier years and her age, her vitality has almost depleted, she’s tantamount to being at the end of her tether…”
Elder Huang sighed, giving a wry smile.
Doctors can’t cure every disease, and with Jiang Meixian’s condition, there wasn’t much they could do.
“Elders, is there really no way at all to treat my mother’s illness?” Chen bit his lip, sighed heavily, and sought confirmation.
“Chen, I’m truly sorry!” Elder Huang shook his head again.
“Actually, I do know of a method which is not really a method.
I don’t know if it would work for you, Chen!” These words came from the always silent Elder Zhang.
