Professor Xie had long passed the 60 years mark and naturally, he had a higher seniority than Ning Zhong Guo.

Of course, Ning Zhong Guo did not dare to act big in front of him and immediately rose to shake his hand.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Ning Zhong Guo invited Professor Xie to sit down.

At this time, professor Xie noticed Chen Xi who was at the side.

Since Chen Xi was still quite young, the old dude thought that he belonged to the younger generation of the Ning family and thus, he doubtfully asked, “This is?”

Ning Zhong Guo chuckled, “This is my friend and he has medical expertise. If professor Xie does not mind, you can, perhaps, converse with him regarding some medical experiences.”

“Oh, hello.”

Professor nodded his head as he guessed that Chen Xi could be a student who majored in Medicine. Since the student knew that he was going to come, the student would then wait for him before he arrived.

Regarding this kind of situation, Professor Xie had seen quite a lot of it and thus, he did not find it strange.

Naturally, Chen Xi did not know what professor Xie was thinking.

When he saw professor Xie nodding in his direction, Chen Xi bowed slightly out of courtesy.

Meanwhile, Ning Zhong Guo glanced at the 2 individuals behind Ning Qiu Tong.

Behind Ning Qiu Tong was a man and a woman.

The man was around the same age as Ning Zhong Guo. He was Ning Zhong Ping, Ning Qiu Tong’s second uncle.

After having a casual talk with Ning Zhong Guo, Nong Zhong Ping did not say anything else.

From his actions and words, one could tell that he was serving in the army.

As for the last woman, she looked youthful, roughly about 23 years old.

This woman was extremely gorgeous, her appearance has a 70% to 80% resemblance to Ning Qiu Tong.

Her temperament was pure and cold while her body emitted out a refreshing feeling, like a snow lotus on the top of a mountain.

When she stood side by side with Ning Qiu Tong, the two of them formed a distinct pair.

One was warm like fire while the other was cold like ice.

She was Ning Qiu Tong’s sister, Ning Qin Xue.

After he welcomed his younger brother, Ning Zhong Guo then looked at his ‘seldom-home’ second daughter and complained, “Qing Xue, you are just this close to becoming a rare guest. I’m afraid that the number of times your second uncle comes back are already more than yours.”

Hearing it, Ning Qing Xue helplessly explained, “Dad, you know that my work is so hectic recently. I’m not like big sis who can just be a boss and shake her legs…”

“Hey, if you think that this shake leg boss is so easy to be, then why don’t you try. I’ll change jobs with you, do you dare?”

Ning Qiu Tong joked around with her sister, but all she got back was Nign Qing Xue rolling her eyes

Initially, Chen Xi sat in the middle of the sofa. However, as each of the family members sat down accordingly, Chen Xi consciously moved to the other end of the sofa, putting some distance between each other.

This made him seemed inharmonious with other people.

From the start since she entered the house, Ning Qiu Tong did not even glance straight at Chen Xi. However, she was always monitoring him from the dark.

She was waiting.

Waiting for this swindler to retreat in defeat.

However, after waiting for quite awhile, even when Ning Zhong Guo and professor Xie had exchanged greetings, Chen Xi still remained seated.

Hence, Ning Qiu Tong became mad.

Since this swindler was this audacious and shady, then she shall not hold back anymore!

Upon thinking up till this point, Ning Qiu Tong bent down and whispered to professor Xie.

After listening to it, his expression could not help but change despite his strong self-restraint. He then solemnly asked Ning Qiu Tong, “Really?”

Upon seeing that Ning Qiu Tong was certain about it, professor Xie turned his head and carefully sized up Chen Xi.

He did not dare to fully believe what Ning Qiu Tong just said.

Are medical swindlers this unbridled and rampant now?

To a rich family like the Ning family, 100,000¥ is like nothing to them.

However, if the victims are normal civilians, won’t their entire life savings that were used for saving a life be cheated away so easily?

If they even dare to cheat people’s life money, then what other stuff won’t these insane medical swindler dare not do?

This kind of vicious act is more cruel than killing!

I have to expose him!

Professor Xie then put on a heavy look and seriously asked Ning Zhong Guo, “Mr Ning, I heard from Qiu Tong that you are not feel well recently?”

“Aye…It’s just some old illness, I got it when I was young. I have always felt quite uncomfortable, however, it just got more serious recently. Maybe it’s because of old age…”

“Mind if I measure your pulse?”

“Please do. Sorry to trouble you,” Ning Zhong Guo nodded his head and politely said.

Chen Xi’s judgement was spot on.

The reason why Ning Zhong Guo could not live beyond 50 was because he suffered an extremely serious internal injury 5 years ago.

After the injury, Ning Zhong Guo went to consult several hospitals, including both Chinese and Western medicine. He went for numerous CT scan for his chest, yet no hospitals could cure his internal injury.

What made it even more ridiculous was that several hospitals could not tell whether he did suffer an injury or not.

These findings eventually discouraged him, as he knew that he did not have much time left.

Internal injury was not an illness. Illnesses could be treated, but injuries could only heal.

As the days gone by, his condition worsened. At the peak of the injury, Ning Zhong Guo could not even walk.

After some time, Ning Zhong Guo finally found a hidden cultivator that was only told of in the legends, and from that hidden cultivator, he acquired a godly pill that claimed to be able to extend one’s life.

Initially, Ning Zhong Guo did not believe these kind of mysterious legends, thinking that the other party was a swindler.

However, only after swallowing the pill did he realise that it was truly effective.

Ning Zhong Guo thought that he was finally saved and was extremely elated.

Unfortunately, the hidden cultivator regretfully told him that, in this world, there existed no such pill that could save a person near death’s door.

As for Ning Zhong Guo, he was already a person near death’s door.

Although that mysterious pill was able to make him walk and function like a normal human, it could not heal the root of his injury.

Disheartened, Ning Zhong Guo returned back to Zhong Hai and started to prepare his will, and it was during the time when Ning Qiu Tong took over his position.

He did not know old long he could live for.

In order not to let his daughter worried for him, Ning Zhong Guo decided not to tell her the truth.

The reason why he would choose to believe Chen Xi was because Chen Xi hit the jackpot of not living past 50.

After all, without that pill, he would have taken his last breath with regrets at a tender age of 49. How could he then possibly live until today?

At the same time, his reason for not believing Chen Xi was very simple.

It was because that hidden cultivator once said…

No one in this world could heal his wounds.

In addition, Chen Xi was just a young man without any persuasive powers. Hence, his intuition told him not to trust this young man.

However, this life is his. As long as there is a chance to live, he will take it.

When he saw Ning Qiu Tong bringing professor Xie to visit him, Ning Zhong Guo was initially bewildered, but he quickly recovered from it.

In his heart, professor Xie could not compare to the hidden cultivator that offered him the mysterious pill, even if professor Xie’s medical reputation was renowned domestically.

Since his daughter, out of good will, brought the old professor to cure his illness, naturally, he could not turn them down.

However, this will somewhat embarrassed that young man…

Thinking up to here, Ning Zhong Guo could not help but glance at Chen Xi.

However, the sight before him gave him quite a surprise. That young man that was targeted by his daughter was able to remain calm in this type of situation, as he sat steadily on the sofa, as if his surroundings had nothing to do with him.

Just this level of self-restraint was able to make Ning Zhong Guo respect him more.

The hall was slightly quiet as everyone waited for professor Xie to conclude.

After a while, professor Xie finally retrieved his hand and frowned as he said to himself, “If the veins are extremely straight, then it’s a sign of liver disease. If one feels giddy, then it’s a sign of heart disease. If there is a sharp pain, then it’s a sign of lungs disease. If the pain is in succession, then it’s a sign of kidney problems. If the pain is heavy and slow, then it’s a sign of spleen problems…”

“Mr Ning, your pulse is very strange. At times, it is totally chaotic while at other times, it is totally normal…”
