Chapter 14: Scram!
Professor Xie muttered to himself irresolutely as he held back the results.
Based
on Profesor Xie’s expression, it seemed as if he was still pondering on how to
explain the diagnosis of Ning Zhong Guo’s illness.
Naturally,
his every move and action had an impact on everyone at the scene.
Standing
behind professor Xie, Ning Qiu Tong suddenly felt somewhat nervous.
She
had always believed that there were no issues with her father’s body, but after
seeing Professor Xie’s actions, she could not help but started to suspect that
something was wrong.
Don’t
tell me…
Did
father really have some strange disease?
Otherwise,
how could a medical expert take such a long time to judge if a person is really
healthy or not?
With
the lapse of time, the tension in the atmosphere was rising and getting more
serious as Professor Xie remained silent throughout. Everyone in the hall began
to get restless as they started to worry about Ning Zhong Guo health.
After
some time, Professor Xie finally spoke.
“Mr
Ning, if my conclusion is not wrong, your heart, liver, spleen, lungs and
kidneys are all damaged!”
Everyone
present was shocked beyond belief.
Ning
Zhong Guo slightly hesitated. He now has a better understanding of Professor
Xie’s medical skill.
Being
able to figure out his body condition just from measuring his pulse, other than
the hidden cultivator, Professor Xie was the second person.
As
for Chen Xi, he is still halfway there for the time being…
To
be honest, Ning Zhong Guo suspected if Chen Xi got his information from
somewhere so he was able to hit the nail on the head on the first try.
Upon
hearing professor Xie’s conclusion, Ning Qiu Tong instantly lost her composure
as she asked anxiously, “Professor Xie, is my father’s illness very serious?”
Professor
Xie shook his head and gently said, “I’m not a 100% sure yet. This is only my
initial diagnosis. In order to get more details, I have to trouble Mr Ning to
make a trip with me to the medical college. My laboratory has the most advanced
medical equipment and is able to provide Mr Ning with a comprehensive
inspection. In this way, I am able to make an accurate judgment.”
“Okay.
Let’s not drag things on, shall we go now?”
Ning
Qiu Tong was extremely worried about her father’s condition and therefore,
immediately after Professor Xie finished explaining, she hastened to her
father’s side and grumbled, “Dad! You should have told me earlier if you are
not feeling well. The technology today is so much more advanced, it can cure
any illnesses as long as it is in the initial stage. However, you hid it from
me…”
At
this time, the quiet Ning Qing Xue stood up with a face full of worried. She
was prepared to go to Professor Xie’s laboratory to see the results.
Judging
by the situation, Ning Zhong Ping felt that he came at the wrong time.
The
reason that he came today was to discuss an important matter with Ning Zhong
Guo. However, who would have thought that there would be something wrong with
his body upon being inspected by Professor Xie. Hence, he could only keep it to
himself for now.
I
will tell big brother again when he recovers…
Ning
Zhong Ping looked at Ning Zhong Guo who was on the sofa and thought to himself.
The
Ning family members looked anxiously at Ning Zhong Guo, hoping that he would go
to the medical school for a medical examination with Professor Xie.
Upon
seeing their anxious appearances, Ning Zhong Guo comforted them and said with a
smile, “It’s fine, it’s just an old problem. There’s no need to worry. Since an
important guest has visited us, why don’t we stay for lunch? We could go there
after having lunch…”
“Dad!
It’s still not lunch time yet! What do you mean ‘eat’!”
“Alright,
but mind your image!”
Ning
Zhong Guo swatted his daughter’s hand, hinting that she takes note of her
image. Then, he turned to Professor Xie and said, “I have to trouble you to
wait as I need to change my coat. I will prepare a banquet after the check-up.
Please do come.”
“Okay,”
Professor Xie nodded smiling.
Ning
Zhong Guo stood up as he prepared to go to the second floor.
Meanwhile,
Ning Qiu Tong glanced at Chen Xi who was at the side,
When
she saw that Chen Xi was still casually sitting there, she could not help but
feel her blood boiling and, she instantly scolded Chen Xi, “You swindler! How
much longer are you going to sit there? Do you want my father to personally see
you out?”
Ning
Qiu Tong crossed both her hands while her lower jaw was slightly raised,
similar to an arrogant queen judging a criminal.
The
reason why she invited Professor Xie to do a medical examination was to expose
the lies of this swindler.
But
who would have thought that Ning Zhong Guo really was sick?
It’s
all because of this mouth of hers!
However,
it was also because of this swindler that she was able to discover her father’s
sickness.
When
a person gets old, it’s not too good to let sicknesses drag on. Just think of
him as being very lucky…
Therefore,
Ning Qiu Tong decided to drop this matter.
However,
Chen Xi suddenly chuckled, as if he somewhat disdained what she just said.
Seeing
that, Ning Qiu Tong flew into a rage and shouted, “Are you going to scram or
not? Do you think I can’t deal with swindlers like you? Do you believe that one
phone call and I can send you to jail for 8 to 10 years?!”
The
smile on Chen Xi’s face vanished.
He
glanced at Ning Qiu Tong and calmly asked, “You keep saying that I’m a
swindler. So tell me, what exactly did I swindle from you?”
“What’s
wrong? You think that you are in the right? The day before yesterday, you
deceived 10,000¥ from my father. Did you perhaps forget about it already?”
“10,000¥?”
Chen
Xi shook the head and chuckled with a smile, “Do you think the medicinal
ingredients I bought yesterday were cheap?”
Just
when he walked to the top of the stairs, Ning Zhong Guo turned around to see
the 2 of them arguing. Hence, he spoke to stop Ning Qiu Tong, “Qiu Tong, stop
making a ruckus. This little brother here meant well. I had people checked the
medicinal ingredients and it indeed had the ability to slow down the sickness.”
Hearing
this, Ning Qiu Tong viciously stomped her feet and argued, “Dad, it’s not about
the money. I just don’t like his arrogant look. The reason why I invited
professor Xie is to make this swindler give up and retreat. But, look at that
nonchalant look…”
She
then turned and glared at Chen Xi, “Professor Xie could not easily conclude my
father’s condition and yet you just measured his pulse and said my dad could
not live beyond 50 years? And you also said you can cure him? Do you really
think that you are a Godly doctor?”
“I
can truly cure him…” Chen Xi plainly said.
“Scram
for me!”
Ning
Qiu Tong was extremely red in the face due to anger when she saw that Chen Xin
still, time and time again, did not repent.
Perhaps
she realized that she had lost her self-control, Ning Qiu Tong took a deep
breath and after controlling her emotions, she pointed at the front gate of the
villa and coldly said to Chen Xi, “Don’t make me repeat myself. Will you scram
or not?”
A
cold light flashed in Chen Xi’s eyes as he heard this.
He
arrogantly stood up and coldly said to Ning Qiu Tong, “The reason why I’m
willing to save your father was that I really need money recently…”
“But
you have to understand. Although the fee is 100,000¥, it is you who have
gained, not me!”
The
Yama wants you to be dead in 3 but I can keep you alive until 5!
If
100,000¥ can buy back a life, is this deal still not worth it?
