Chapter 57: Righteousness

The young masters in the private room were all a bit stunned, especially Yuan Wenjie. He couldn't understand how something on his back, which even he didn't know about, could be known by someone else. Seeing Zeng Yi's solemn and serious expression, Yuan Wenjie couldn't help but feel a bit panicked. Could his illness be very serious?

Gu Di stepped forward and glanced at Yuan Wenjie's back, saying, "Doctor Zeng, this so-called heart-piercing mole is just a mole, right? It doesn't matter where it grows."

Others might not know, but Gu Di was very clear. His aunt's illness was cured by Zeng Yi, who had used some mysterious methods. So when he saw the so-called heart-piercing mole, which was just a mole, he understood. Zeng Yi must be unhappy with Yuan Wenjie and wanted to give him a lesson. However, this trick would eventually be exposed, and since he had brought the people here today, Gu Di didn't want to offend Yuan Wenjie. He wanted to defuse the situation and find a way out for Zeng Yi.

Yuan Wenjie gradually came to his senses. Yes, moles can grow anywhere on the body. What difference does it make if it's on the back? I have a mole on my thigh; does that mean my leg will become lame?

Thinking about this, Yuan Wenjie became furious. He realized he had been tricked. He pointed at Gu Di and said, "Gu Di, you little brat, you're deliberately fooling me, right? What kind of quack is this!" He then glared at Zeng Yi, "Kid, you've got some nerve, daring to fool me, your Yuan father. If you don't explain this clearly today, I guarantee you'll leave here lying down!"

The other young masters also chimed in, "Damn, are you tired of living? Why are you still standing there? Come over and kowtow to apologize to Young Master Yuan!"

Some even directly targeted Gu Di, "Young Master Gu, you're not being very fair today. If it comes to a fight, you'd better stand back, or I might hit you by mistake!"

Gu Di was furious, glaring and saying, "Damn, you know nothing, just barking! Doctor Zeng is Secretary Fang's personal physician. Would he come here just to fool you?" This was the step down that Gu Di was giving Zeng Yi. As long as he revealed this identity, the young masters would think twice before acting.

Zeng Yi stood there, his face expressionless, but he sighed inwardly. He had come today partly to help Gu Di, but who knew that Gu Di was so timid and didn't dare to provoke Yuan Wenjie. It was no wonder others were ganging up on him.

Yuan Wenjie was initially stunned, then cursed, "Gu Di, are you an idiot? Secretary Fang would use him as a personal physician? Do you really believe that?" Yuan Wenjie had seen personal physicians before; none of them were this young.

"Doctor Zeng, show them your work ID!" Gu Di looked at the group of young masters, "You guys, open your eyes and look carefully!"

Zeng Yi sneered. A few young masters wanted to check his work ID? They weren't even worthy! He sat down, crossed his legs, and said to Gu Di, "Didn't you invite me for a drink? I've been here for a while, where's the alcohol?"

Gu Di was dumbfounded, not knowing what Zeng Yi was thinking. He thought Zeng Yi would take the opportunity to show his work ID and leave, but instead, Zeng Yi was serious about drinking and refused to leave.

"Brave! Bold! You dare to act so arrogantly in front of your Yuan father!" Yuan Wenjie extended a thumb and said to the girl behind him, "Go, pour a good glass of wine for this Doctor Zeng. I doubt he'll have many more chances to drink it!"

Gu Di secretly thought it was bad. He knew Yuan Wenjie's temper; the more he praised you, the worse he would make you suffer. He secretly signaled to Zeng Yi, but Zeng Yi ignored him. Gu Di was extremely anxious. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have brought Zeng Yi. If it came to a fight, he would have to stand up to Yuan Wenjie. He had brought the person, and if he was mistreated, no one would dare to follow him in the future.

He didn't want to offend Yuan Wenjie, but he wasn't afraid of a fight. Fights among young masters were common, and no one would complain to their parents afterward; that was something only kindergarteners did.

"You don't need to worry about whether you'll be able to drink in the future; you should be more concerned about your own life!" Zeng Yi raised his wine glass, calmly swirling the wine, and glanced at Yuan Wenjie with a pitying look, "If you don't believe me, have someone press on the heart-piercing mole on your back and take a deep breath. See how long you can last!"

Seeing Zeng Yi's calm and confident demeanor, Yuan Wenjie, who was about to explode, was momentarily unsure. He sat there, his eyes darting around, unsure of what to do.

Gu Di understood the situation and gritted his teeth, saying, "Doctor Zeng is my guest. Anyone who threatens him is threatening me, Gu Di. If it comes to a fight, don't blame me for not giving you face." Only Yuan Wenjie was threatening Zeng Yi, and this was Gu Di's way of standing up to him.

Zeng Yi felt a bit more at ease. Gu Di was timid, but he had some righteousness and wasn't beyond saving. He waved his hand and said, "Why so angry? Let's all sit down and have a drink, it's much better!"

Yuan Wenjie stared intently at Zeng Yi, trying to find a flaw, but Zeng Yi sat there, calmly sipping his wine, showing no signs of panic.

After a long while, Yuan Wenjie gave up. He didn't dare risk his life. The other party was just a doctor, while he had a bright future ahead. He glanced at his companion, and the girl immediately understood. She went over, found the right spot, and pressed her fingers on Yuan Wenjie's heart-piercing mole.

"You haven't eaten, have you? Use some strength!" Yuan Wenjie was annoyed; this much pressure felt like a tickle.

The girl took a deep breath and applied more force, using her knuckles to press into Yuan Wenjie's back.

Yuan Wenjie steadied himself and began to inhale. As soon as the breath entered his chest, his heart felt as if it had been cut, and a piercing pain made him lurch forward, avoiding the girl's hand. He turned pale, clutching his chest, and sat there, unable to speak, cold sweat streaming down his face.

"Good, you lasted three seconds," Zeng Yi put down his wine glass and smiled at Yuan Wenjie, "You're not in a hopeless condition; you can still be saved!"

Yuan Wenjie no longer had any doubts. The facts were right there. A stranger had pointed out the heart-piercing mole on his back and the piercing pain he had just experienced. It couldn't be fake!

After about three minutes, Yuan Wenjie caught his breath. He wiped the cold sweat from his face. He never wanted to experience that pain again. It was something no ordinary person could endure. Just that moment, he felt as if his soul had left his body, and he had lost half his life.

"What are you standing there for!" Yuan Wenjie glared at his companion, "Go find Fat Wei and bring out the 1982 Lafite from the wine cellar. I want to have a few good drinks with Doctor Zeng!"

"No need, next time!" Zeng Yi finished the wine in his glass, stood up, and said, "I have an appointment next door; I can't keep my guest waiting. Don't worry too much about Young Master Yuan's illness. It's a hidden condition that won't flare up immediately. When I have time, I'll explain it to you in detail."

With that, he was about to leave.

Yuan Wenjie was furious. You're still putting on airs! If it doesn't flare up immediately, isn't that even more dangerous? It's like carrying a bomb with me, and I might lose my life at any moment. He was a man who valued his life, so he quickly stood up, grabbed Zeng Yi's arm, and said warmly, "Doctor Zeng, Gu Di and I have been friends since childhood. If you're Gu Di's friend, you're my friend too. It's not right to see a friend sick and not treat him! Gu Di, what do you think?"

Gu Di thought, "What nonsense! Who wasn't naked as a child? If that's the case, I'm a friend with everyone." He spat, "Do I know you that well? When you belittle me, you never say this."

At this moment, Gu Di felt a sense of relief. Yuan Wenjie, you have your day too. This guy was secretly happy but put on a troubled face, saying, "Doctor Zeng isn't lying; I can vouch for him. He has an appointment with Director Du from the Municipal Bureau. We came up together. Director Du also said he wasn't feeling well, probably wanting Doctor Zeng to check him out."

Du Ruo, who was sitting in the private room, smoking, was waiting for Zeng Yi. Hearing the commotion outside, he thought Zeng Yi had returned and prepared to greet him. But when the door opened, several young masters rushed in, and Du Ruo's head started to ache. He just wanted a quiet moment, but Zeng Yi had brought the wolves to him.

Yuan Wenjie said, "Director Du, we heard you're not feeling well. We couldn't sit still and came to see you!"

Du Ruo, a seasoned official, didn't change his expression, and said with a laugh, "Yes, it's been too hot lately, and my stomach isn't feeling well. You see, I caused such a fuss over such a small matter. I shouldn't have told Gu Di."

"Since Doctor Zeng is here, why don't you let him check you out?" Yuan Wenjie suggested.

"I invited Doctor Zeng for that very reason!" Du Ruo spoke smoothly, raising his hand, "Come, everyone, sit down and have a drink!"

Yuan Wenjie, a petty person, was finally at ease. He thought, "You're just a doctor. If you dare to act arrogantly in front of me, I'll deal with you after you cure me!"
