Chapter 65

"Alright, I understand." Ye Yao nodded, then stood up, straightened her white coat, and subconsciously pushed up her impressive chest. "I'll go take a look and come back to talk to you properly."

"Where are you going?" Chu Nan asked subconsciously.

"To find Gao Xi."

"Huh?" Chu Nan was somewhat surprised. "Why are you looking for him? ... Don't you hate him?"

Ye Yao frowned and said, "This has nothing to do with personal feelings. The patient he is about to see is a shareholder of the hospital, an old entrepreneur with a special status. As a head nurse, I have the duty to check on the situation."

"Head nurse?" Chu Nan looked at Ye Yao in surprise. "I didn't expect that you, at such a young age, are already a head nurse. Impressive."

"Thank you for the compliment."

"Hmm... So I'm even more puzzled. As an experienced doctor, can't you solve your own chronic illness? Indeed, the medical skills in the secular world have declined, or is it that Western medicine has many shortcomings?"

"Not just Western medicine... I've tried Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as well. Gao Xi is the most experienced and senior TCM practitioner in our hospital." Mentioning her chronic illness, Ye Yao subconsciously replied, "Of course, I've tried the prescription you gave me, but it had no effect at all."

"..." Chu Nan's brows furrowed slightly, as if he had thought of something. "I didn't realize that guy was a TCM practitioner. However, I'm puzzled. My prescription is definitely correct. Did you encounter any issues when purchasing the ingredients?"

"There shouldn't be any problems. I bought the ingredients through the hospital's procurement channel."

"Through the hospital?" Chu Nan seemed to have suddenly caught on to something. "You just said that the narcissist Gao Xi is the most experienced and senior TCM practitioner in the hospital. It's possible that he's in charge of the TCM prescription procurement. He might have replaced some of the ingredients or supplied inferior ones."

Hearing this, Ye Yao's delicate brows furrowed again, clearly a point she hadn't considered before.

"Does he have a reason to do that?" Ye Yao's heart wavered and she began to doubt.

"If it's that narcissist, I suspect he might have a reason," Chu Nan smiled meaningfully. "In TCM, the first step is observation. It's the most basic diagnostic method in traditional Chinese medicine. If Gao Xi has some skills, he can see your problem at a glance, just like I did."

"I don't understand... Even if he saw it, there's no need for him to prevent me from buying the medicine and treating myself. Although he wants to pursue me, we have no grudges."

Chu Nan smiled again, glanced at Ye Yao's ample chest, and shook his head helplessly. "Doctor Ye, I finally understand the phrase 'big chest, no brain.'"

"What did you say?!" Ye Yao's face turned red instantly, and she subconsciously covered her ample chest, then scolded him. —— Really, what's wrong with Chu Nan?! They were just having a good conversation, but now he's saying something annoying again. Ye Yao felt very frustrated. This man was truly bizarre. Every time she started to develop a good impression of him, he would say or do something that ruined it.

"I don't have time to talk to you. You can take the responsibility if you want." Ye Yao turned away, her slender waist and round, firm buttocks swaying as she left the break room.

Chu Nan watched Ye Yao's retreating figure and helplessly rubbed his forehead. He looked back and saw a phone quietly placed on the table. This big cow, does she really not want to see me? She even left her phone behind in a hurry.

Really... Did I say something wrong again?

But Chu Nan thought he hadn't said anything wrong. —— If Ye Yao's TCM prescription was procured through the hospital, it's highly likely that Gao Xi got the prescription. If he has some skills, even if he doesn't understand the prescription, he could still tamper with it.

If we talk about his motives and intentions, it's quite clear.

Gao Xi is pursuing Ye Yao. When he saw the prescription, even if he didn't know the final effect, he could guess the illness. This would make him more convinced that Ye Yao has a private, chronic illness. He might use this to have more contact with Ye Yao, or even treat her personally. After all, he is a TCM practitioner. He's worried that the prescription might improve Ye Yao's condition, which would reduce his chances of having intimate contact with her.

Chu Nan knew that for Ye Yao's illness, using TCM therapy at her age is already quite late. However, the medicine he prescribed was strong, so it should work within a month. If it continues to be delayed, Ye Yao might need a more direct treatment method, such as acupuncture.

For Ye Yao's chronic illness, the acupuncturist needs to perform acupuncture and moxibustion at multiple points on the patient's body, along with herbal therapy. This is a wonderful opportunity for intimate contact!

Realizing this, Chu Nan felt that Gao Xi was truly evil.

This person, to have the opportunity for intimate contact with Ye Yao, would let her condition worsen? What a despicable scoundrel.

Instantly, Chu Nan felt a surge of anger and disdain. —— The medical profession, whether TCM or Western medicine, is sacred. Chu Nan couldn't stand such scum in the industry.

Teachers and doctors, the two most sacred professions in the world. One teaches people how to be human, and the other helps people live longer. If these professions are filled with scum, the world will gradually become dark.

Taking a deep breath, Chu Nan suppressed his anger, put on a smile to hide his emotions, and casually put Ye Yao's phone in his pocket. He then slowly followed the direction Ye Yao had gone.

"This Gao Xi is a TCM practitioner, right? Fine, I want to see how skilled and capable he is!" A rare sharpness flashed in Chu Nan's eyes.

With his mind made up, it didn't take long for Chu Nan to follow Ye Yao's path and arrive at a relatively spacious medical room.

Chu Nan knew that this medical room wasn't accessible to just anyone. —— Ha, Gao Xi is indeed a highly valued doctor by the hospital. Even a shareholder of the hospital came here to see him, so he must have some real skills.

Thinking this, he put on a mask again and, without knocking, opened the door to the medical room.

"Creak."

After opening the door, everyone turned to look at the entrance. When the nurses saw Chu Nan's unfamiliar face, they looked puzzled, while Gao Xi and Ye Yao had different expressions upon seeing him enter.

On the bed, an old man lay half-reclined, his complexion somewhat pale, indicating a serious condition.

"You... how did you get in here? Intern, this is not a place for you. Get out!" Gao Xi turned around, his face stern, and glared at Chu Nan fiercely.
