Chapter 75

Chu Nan pondered for a moment and then smiled, saying, "It seems that Sister Ye still has some doubts about my medical skills. ——Of course, although your condition has been delayed for some time, my methods are not just about prescribing medicine. By combining various traditional Chinese medical treatments, I can still cure your chronic illness steadily. ——But Sister Ye, I have a question for you. Although your condition is difficult to treat, it is not entirely without a solution for traditional Chinese medicine. I am very puzzled... as the head nurse of a key municipal hospital, how could you not know a traditional Chinese medical colleague who can completely cure your condition?"

Ye Yao shook her head slightly and smiled bitterly, "Speaking of this... it is indeed somewhat helpless. You should know that traditional Chinese medicine in our country has been in decline since the last century, with Western medicine occupying a large part of the Chinese pharmaceutical market. Many traditional Chinese medical families no longer exist or have turned to Western medicine. Only a few of the remaining old Chinese medical families can be considered true inheritors of traditional Chinese medicine..."

Before she could finish, Chu Nan asked, "Does that include the Gao family of Gao Xi?"

"Of course not. Although the Gao family has a history of over two hundred years, they started from a small pharmacy. Nowadays, they focus on producing finished medicines, involving both Western and Chinese medicine. Chu Nan, you must understand this: although the Gao family is a pharmaceutical family, they are not a traditional medical family in the true sense. They are more like a business family, using medicine as a means to make money. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Chu Nan snapped his fingers.

"Right, in terms of medical skills, the Gao family does have some abilities. But... that's because the few old traditional Chinese medical families and schools have not competed with the Gao family. Therefore, in the current medical industry, the Gao family can still hold a place." Ye Yao paused, then continued, "Getting back to the point, you asked why I didn't seek treatment from a Chinese medical colleague in the industry, right? ——First, you need to understand that my chronic illness is also difficult for ordinary Chinese medicine to treat. The Gao family is an example. Therefore, I must find one of the few families or schools that have truly inherited traditional Chinese medicine. Unfortunately..."

Hearing this, Chu Nan's expression became more serious, as he sensed that Ye Yao was about to reveal the true secrets of the core circle of traditional Chinese medicine in China.

"Unfortunately, when my father chose the pharmaceutical production route, he offended those traditional Chinese medical families and schools on a fundamental level, which is why..." Ye Yao looked at Chu Nan with a bitter smile, "You don't need me to say more, right?"

Chu Nan sighed deeply, "I understand. It's a conflict of interests. But... is this their reason for refusing patients? It seems that traditional Chinese medicine has truly declined, placing personal grudges above medical ethics. ——Hmph, if it were me, even if it were the person who killed my father, and they were suffering from a life-threatening illness and sought my help, I would not let them die."

Hearing this, Ye Yao suddenly smiled, her eyebrows slightly raised, "Oh? So generous? Even the person who killed your father?"

"Yes." Chu Nan nodded seriously, "After saving them, I would kill them."

"..." Ye Yao was once again left speechless by Chu Nan's peculiar mindset. ——What kind of logic is this?!

"Sister Ye, what are the few remaining traditional Chinese medical families and schools? Do you know?"

"Of course." Ye Yao smiled with a hint of pride, "Most people in the industry might not know, but you asked the right person. ——There are four in total, spread across the four regions of China. One is the Xingjian School in Central China, one is the Qiankun Medical Pavilion in the Western Desert, one is the Lingyao Forest in the Southwest, and the other is the Liu Medical School in the South."

"Liu Medical School?" Chu Nan paused, as he had heard of it before. He had learned a bit about it when investigating the Hanliu Hall.

"You know the Liu Medical School? ——The Liu Medical School is the oldest of the four major Chinese medical families. However, in recent years, the Xingjian School has developed the best, showing a trend of surpassing the Liu Medical School. Most importantly, the Qiankun Medical Pavilion in the Western Desert has a close relationship with the Xingjian School, working seamlessly together. If nothing unexpected happens, the Liu Medical School will soon be surpassed."

Although she had answered Chu Nan's questions, Ye Yao subconsciously shared the most useful information in the Chinese medical circle with him, seeing his humble and eager-to-learn attitude.

"Striving to be the best?" Chu Nan shook his head helplessly, "Now that Western medicine has dominated the Chinese medical field for so many years, instead of uniting to revive Chinese medicine, they are still fighting among themselves. No wonder my grandfather told me, 'There is no first in literature, no second in martial arts, and no third, fourth, or fifth in medicine.' Any medical skill that can save lives is a good medical skill, and vice versa, good medical skills are used to save lives! By being so closed and self-admiring, thinking that Chinese medicine is noble and aloof, and not actively promoting the essence of its heritage to the public, they are actually stifling the development and role of Chinese medicine."

As he spoke, a hint of anger appeared on Chu Nan's face, a rare display of emotion that surprised Ye Yao.

She could see that Chinese medicine held a very important place in Chu Nan's heart, and she also sensed a sense of national pride in him. ——The more she looked at Chu Nan, the more she found him inscrutable. She thought she knew him well, but the more she interacted with him, the more she discovered his shining qualities. She still couldn't understand how such a unique person could survive and thrive in this era of widespread moral decay without being assimilated!

"Chu Nan, I believe in you. Whatever your future goal is, you will succeed." Suddenly, Ye Yao stopped in front of the gate of a large luxury residential area, gently patted Chu Nan's shoulder, and said, "I'm home. No need to come in. You can go back now. See you at the hospital tomorrow."

"…Leaving already?" Chu Nan snapped out of his thoughts, slightly stunned, "Actually, I came today to give you direct treatment..."

Ye Yao's face turned slightly red, and she smiled gently, waving her hand, "Not today, okay? ——Good luck! Bye."

Watching Ye Yao's gradually disappearing figure, Chu Nan stood there for a long time, then took a deep breath and turned to leave.

...At the same time, on the other side.

Ye Shengge, who was busy at the company, suddenly received a call.

"Hmm? A call from the security guard Old Zhang at the residential area?" She subconsciously answered the call, exchanged a few words, and then jumped up from her chair in shock, "What did you say? Yao Yao has a boyfriend!? Just sent her home? Are you sure you didn't see wrong?"
