Chapter 67

After Chu Nan said these words, the entire medical room fell silent once again.

"Arrogant and conceited."

These four words almost instantly drilled into the minds of everyone present.

Including Ye Yao, even the old Mr. Zhou felt that Chu Nan was a reckless and arrogant person at first.

As a descendant of the famous pharmaceutical family, the Gao family, Gao Xi had been deeply influenced by the family's medical skills. Now, he was also at a loss regarding Mr. Zhou's condition. This Chu Nan looked young and was wearing an intern doctor's badge. He claimed he could treat Mr. Zhou without surgery, which was truly absurd!

"Chu Nan... it's fine, there's nothing to worry about here. You've brought my phone, so you can go back to your work now." Ye Yao, sensing the atmosphere, felt the tension building up and immediately stepped forward, tugging at Chu Nan's clothes to help him out of the situation.

Chu Nan turned his head with a smile and said to Ye Yao, "Don't worry, Doctor Ye, I'm not joking."

At this moment, Chu Nan clearly saw Ye Yao desperately giving him signals, but he seemed oblivious, maintaining his harmless smile, which made Ye Yao extremely anxious.

In fact, Ye Yao didn't fully believe that Chu Nan was a person who understood traditional Chinese medicine. In her mind, she still had a bit of doubt about whether Chu Nan was a fraud. It was precisely this doubt that would lead her to have an unprecedented change of heart about Chu Nan in the coming time, or rather...

She was destined to be shocked by Chu Nan.

"..." Ye Yao's eyebrows furrowed tightly, seeing Chu Nan's stubbornness, she didn't know what to do.

"Old Mr. Zhou, I'm not forcing you. If you trust me, I will treat you. If you don't, I have no choice." Chu Nan smiled faintly at Zhou Yongfu, his eyes clear and pure, showing only a simple and professional attitude, one that exists only between a doctor and a patient.

And Zhou Yongfu, who had lived for a long time, read five words from Chu Nan's eyes at this moment— "A doctor's heart is like a parent's."

Yes, that's exactly the feeling.

A feeling that you can't possibly read from most doctors in modern cities!

It was precisely because of Chu Nan's eyes that Zhou Yongfu, to his own surprise, subconsciously said, "Young man... how do you plan to treat me?"

"..., I need to first take your pulse."

"Oh..." Zhou Yongfu slowly nodded and weakly extended his wrist.

Seeing Zhou Yongfu actually believe Chu Nan, Gao Xi immediately became anxious, "Old Mr. Zhou, I don't know who arranged for this intern to come here! I apologize, I will drive him out right away!"

As he spoke, Gao Xi fiercely grabbed Chu Nan's collar.

But what no one expected was... despite Gao Xi using all his strength to pull Chu Nan's collar, Chu Nan remained seated by the bed, unmoving, as solid as a rock!

Joking, Chu Nan had practiced the ancient martial arts passed down by his family since childhood. Although he might be at a disadvantage against true internal martial arts experts, someone like Gao Xi, who was outwardly strong but inwardly weak, could never disrupt Chu Nan's composure.

Chu Nan's lower body was extremely stable, and his waist was like a tightly locked screw, firmly anchoring him to the chair.

Seeing this, the others were also stunned—what was going on??

Gao Xi was also surprised—how could he not be able to move this seemingly frail Chu Nan?? He tried again, pulling Chu Nan several times, but still couldn't budge him an inch.

This time, it was Zhou Yongfu's turn to be surprised... He could clearly see that Gao Xi was using all his strength, his face turning red, yet he couldn't move Chu Nan. He couldn't understand how Chu Nan, who looked so frail, could sit so firmly.

As an old man who had seen much of the world, Zhou Yongfu began to reassess Chu Nan.

Most people with a stable lower body are martial artists, and Chu Nan's lower body was stable to an extreme degree. But he didn't know that Chu Nan's solid foundation was built through immense hardship. Chu Nan still vividly remembered the feeling of standing in a horse stance for half a day every day for over half a year when he was five, a feeling that could be described as a living hell.

... Finally, Chu Nan finished taking the pulse. In the first moment after finishing, he didn't speak to Mr. Zhou but turned his head calmly to look at Gao Xi, who was still trying to pull his collar, his eyes showing a hint of helplessness, "Doctor Gao, it seems you still don't understand. When a doctor is treating a patient, it is strictly forbidden to interfere. Not understanding this, I really doubt how you became a chief doctor."

Pausing, Chu Nan continued, "By the way, I heard you want to report some issues to the director. Please don't forget to pass on some of my opinions and suggestions. ——Some incompetent, ignorant, and arrogant doctors should just go to hell."

"Ha!"

A laugh suddenly rang out, clearly someone was amused by Chu Nan's final curse.

Everyone had been so serious, and yet Chu Nan could still say such things in such a serious atmosphere, which made these people, who always wore masks of propriety, feel a sense of relief.

Hearing the laughter, Gao Xi's face turned as red as a monkey's bottom, and he angrily turned his head, but saw that the three nurses, except for Ye Yao, were all looking down and silent, so he couldn't determine who had laughed.

"Enough!! Stop fooling around!! You... get out of here immediately!! I absolutely will not allow anyone to tarnish our hospital or our entire industry!!" Gao Xi, in a fit of rage, finally couldn't hold back and shouted loudly.

Not yet completely losing his mind, he only felt his authority was being challenged, so he only increased his tone, still controlling the volume. He didn't want to attract more people with his shouting, as he had already been silenced several times by Chu Nan's eloquence and didn't want more people to see the joke.

"The patient needs me, and I won't leave for now. I hope you understand this."

Chu Nan looked at Gao Xi as if he were an idiot, then turned to Mr. Zhou and said, "Old Mr. Zhou, from your pulse... you've been staying up late recently, and your heart rhythm is irregular. Try to eat less high-calorie, high-fat foods. Also... the deer antler soup you've been taking every day, stop it. It will kill you."
