Chapter 6: You Are Sick
Here comes the business.
This
was not the time to act high and mighty. After waiting for such a long time
just for the right target, he could not afford to let the roasted duck to slip
away.
It
was within this period of time that his daughter would be in her rapid growth
phase; He needed money to buy nutritious food for her and even more, money to
buy clothes and toys. If he as a father did not work hard now, how could he
possibly leave a memorable and happy childhood for the little kiddo.
Hence,
when Chen Xi spotted his target, he immediately began to actively walk towards
them.
Only
if he acted actively would something happen in between them…
After
walking out of the hospital, both of them turned and walked towards the parking
lot behind the hospital. It seemed like they drove a car here.
Chen
Xi followed them to the parking lot. He waited until there weren’t many people,
he passed by them with a quick step and stretched out a hand to block their
path.
“Little
bro, is there any problem?”
Although
Chen Xi’s actions were a bit impolite, the middle aged man remained calm and
asked nicely.
So
as not to be lumped in together with the scammers outside the hospital, Chen Xi
pondered for a while before deciding to get to the point.
He
immediately cut to the chase and said, “You are sick. I can cure you.”
Chen
Xi’s eyes shone with honesty as he attempted to make his words more persuasive.
“I
am sick?”
When the middle aged man heard it, he could not help but froze for awhile.
Before
the middle aged man could recover from his surprise, the woman by his side
could not hold back any longer.
“It’s
you who is sick,[E.N: read it as “no, u”]!” she retorted in a high pitched
voice.
After
that, she glared at Chen Xi with hatred as she slotted her arm through the
middle aged man’s arms, dragging him away.
“Dad,
let’s go. Ignore these crazy people.”[
Chen
Xi ignored the woman and once again, he blocked the middle aged man, and said
with a face full of sincerity.
“Aye,
wait up, you really are sick. I’m not lying to you.”
A
Venerated Immortal such as him had to personally visit his customers just to
earn money, and he even had to be all smiles when faced with coldness.
Ah,
such is life…
Almost as if he was impressed by Chen Xi’s genuinity, the middle aged man
motioned the woman not to worry and asked looking at Chen Xi, “Little bro, you
said that I am sick. So tell me, what kind of sickness do I have?”
“Can
I check your pulse?”
“Sure.”
The
man nodded his head and stretched out his right hand.[E.N: God knows where that
hands been]
Chen Xi grasped his wrist in an unorthodox technique for pulse checking.
A
short while later, Chen Xi let loose of his hand and said with utmost
certainty, “Your injury is very serious. You might not be able to live past
50.”
“What
a joke!”
The woman was evidently angered by Chen Xi as she laughed sardonically, “My dad
is already 52 and you dare to say that he cannot live beyond 50? Let me warn
you, if you don’t walk away now you will have to bear the consequences!”
Immediately
the woman took out the car keys and opened the car, then pulled the middle-aged
man directly to the car not far away.
“Already
52?”
Chen
Xi was dumbfounded.
He
could not believe that he would even misdiagnosed his first patient.
To think that he would even misdiagnosed his first patient.
This
shouldn’t be the case…
This
doesn’t make sense…
Although
the middle aged man might looked robust and powerful, if one looked closely,
there would be a few abnormal pale shades on his face.
Despite
striding with powerful movements, Chen Xi knew that the middle aged man was
trying his best to display a healthy image but he could collapse anytime it’d
be extremely difficult without superhuman eyesight
Hence, Chen Xi proposed to measure his pulse so as to further investigate his
illness.
During
this period of time since he had arrived, Chen Xi managed to re-cultivate a minuscule
amount of Qi.
It
was because of the Qi that he sent into the middle-aged man’s body that Chen Xi
was able to precisely identify his illness while measuring his pulse.
His internal organs are severely damaged.
Strangely
it seemed that the injury in this middle-aged man is wasn’t a result of a
single event, but like a long-term uninterrupted injury, just like someone
holding a knife, and the knife is constantly slashing his internal organs.
Amongst
all his injuries, his lungs were the most crippled. The wound was long
festered, and based on Chen Xi’s estimate, the middle aged man’s injuries might
not recover even if he went in immediate surgery.
Assessing
the situation, Chen Xi glanced at the man that was about to board the car and
said, “I don’t know what method you used to increase your vitality, but based
on your current situation, there is a chance you will die violently and without
time to react…”
The
middle aged man immediately halted in his tracks after hearing this.
When
he turned around, His previously calm temperament melted.
He
frowned, “Little bro, you really have the medical skills to cure me?”
“I
can cure you,” Chen Xi nodded with confirmation.
“Really?”
“Absolutely.”
“What do you want in return?”
“Money.”
“How much?”
Chen
Xi glanced at the old model A6 car behind the middle aged man and after a few
moments of pondering, he said, “¥100,000.”
“Deal.”
At
first, Chen Xi was questioning if the starting price was unreasonable. If the
man wanted to negotiate the price, then ¥50,000 was also possible…
If
the other party still found it too expensive, then ¥20,000 would do too.
As
long as he receives jobs, there will always be money coming in.
What
surprised Chen Xi was that when he named his price, the middle aged man agreed
without a shred of hesitation.
At
this moment, the woman that opened the car door began to get anxious.
She
carried a small purse and hurried towards the middle aged man in her high
heels.
She
anxiously called out.“Dad!”
The
middle aged man waved his hand, indicating her to keep calm. Instantly, she
flew into a rage as she stomped her feet and coldly reproached Chen Xi, “Who
are you trying to con? My dad is not sick! Dad, we are at the hospital, do you
feel uncomfortable anywhere? We can go and check now, don’t listen to all these
con men!”
“Qiu Tong! Enough!”
The
woman was clearly infuriated.
However,
the middle aged man did not listen to her and after hearing her words, he
immediately reprimanded her to stop.
“Dad!”
She exclaimed, nearly shouting.looking like she was about to break down in a
heap of tears.
Upon
seeing her face filled with grievance and anxiety, His complexion lightened and
patted her shoulder as he said gently, “ Qiu Tong, you board the car first. Dad
will explain to you on the way back.”
Maybe due to their good family upbringing, after hearing his words, she
obediently boarded the car.
However,
before she left, she viciously glared at Chen Xi, glaring him to the core.
How
dare the con man lie to her father? I will have to show him that we are not to
be messed with.
After cursing him in her mind, the woman immediately took out her phone from
her purse and hurriedly sent a message.
Meanwhile, outside the car.
The
middle-aged man waited for his daughter to get on the bus, he looked at Chen Xi
seriously: “Money is not a problem, but I hope that you really fix my condition
, otherwise…”
Although
he did not say the finish his statement, the meaning behind it was already
crystal clear.
Chen Xi nodded his head, indicating that he understood it.
“So,
how are you going to cure me?”
