Chapter 36

Sun Shengshou is the top traditional Chinese medicine practitioner in Zhonghai, often visiting Longdu to treat important figures. Wherever he goes, he is always the center of attention, like a star surrounded by admirers.

Although Han Nanhua is a billionaire and a major figure in Zhonghai, he still falls short of Sun Shengshou in terms of reputation.

Han Yue admires Sun Shengshou greatly, much like how ordinary people admire celebrities.

But now, she sees this top doctor, who is usually so composed, excitedly holding the hand of a fraudster?

Moreover, Sun Shengshou's eyes are sparkling with enthusiasm, and his eager and flattering attitude makes Han Yue feel as if she is in a dream.

Song Hongyan, although also surprised by Sun Shengshou's attitude, suddenly feels a sense of vindication when she sees Han Yue's stunned expression.

Just now, Han Yue's accusations against Ye Fei had made Song Hongyan very angry.

She had only refrained from lashing out to give Han Nanhua face.

Now, with Sun Shengshou, whom Han Yue respects, showing such enthusiasm towards Ye Fei, what more could she say?

"Master Sun, he is just a charlatan. Don't let him fool you."

Han Yue, unable to bear it, reminds Sun Shengshou, "He almost harmed Grandpa last night."

"A charlatan?"

Sun Shengshou is taken aback, then chuckles, "If Brother Ye is a charlatan, then I must be a useless quack."

Han Yue's expression becomes awkward.

"Master Sun, we can discuss medical matters later."

Ye Fei smiles faintly, "Mr. Han's condition is serious; you should examine him first."

Han Yue nods repeatedly, "Yes, yes, treat Grandpa first."

Sun Shengshou looks at Ye Fei curiously, "Ye Fei, are you unsure about this illness?"

Ye Fei smiles, "Master Sun, I'll explain later."

Sun Shengshou stops pressing the issue, regains his composure, and signals for Han Nanhua to sit on the sofa.

He first takes Han Nanhua's pulse, then uses instruments for a detailed examination, and finally reviews the diagnoses from several hospitals.

Combining traditional and modern medicine.

Sun Shengshou starts off casually, but as time passes, his brows furrow.

"This illness is very strange."

An hour later, Sun Shengshou shakes his head, "The lungs, kidneys, and liver are all showing some degree of functional failure, but the cause is unknown."

"The blood tests are normal, there are no signs of poisoning, and it's not the five signs of decline... Why does he have intermittent abdominal pain and irregular fainting?"

"Too strange, too strange."

He continues to treat for another fifteen minutes, then stands up with a bitter smile, "Yue'er, I'm sorry, I can't treat your grandfather's illness."

"Ah—" Hearing that Sun Shengshou is helpless, Han Yue and the others are shocked, "Grandpa Sun, you can't treat it either?"

"Currently, there's no solution."

Sun Shengshou replies honestly, "I can't determine the root cause of the illness, and the instruments can't detect anything, so I don't know where to start."

"I need to think about it and consult with a few others."

Hearing this, Han Yue and the others look disheartened, never expecting that even Sun Shengshou couldn't save the old man.

"Brother Ye, have you treated this before?"

Sun Shengshou looks at Ye Fei, "What do you think?"

Before Ye Fei can respond, Han Yue sneers, "He said my grandfather was poisoned, with a source of toxins in his body."

"He also said that when the blood was tested, the toxins were forced out, and the source hid, so they couldn't be detected."

"He said that in a few days, the source will secrete toxins again, and my grandfather will be in grave danger."

"Are you saying my grandfather can produce toxins on his own? That's ridiculous."

She glares at Ye Fei, "He also said he can treat it, but if even you, Grandpa Sun, can't, how can he?"

Sun Shengshou's eyes light up, "Brother Ye, do you really have a way?"

Ye Fei looks at the emaciated Han Nanhua, knowing he suffers greatly every day, and feels a bit of pity, "I can treat it, but Miss Han doesn't believe me."

Han Yue scoffs, "Of course I don't believe you. Your relatives said you never studied medicine..."

Ye Fei stares at the stubborn girl and says, "You have excessive liver fire, hormonal imbalance, irregular menstruation, and often experience pain at the back of your head when you're angry."

"Also, your left foot was cut last year and soaked in ice water, leaving serious aftereffects."

"Now it often feels weak and cramps at night."

Ye Fei lists Han Yue's symptoms, "Each cramp feels like a knife cutting through flesh, right?"

Han Yue's eyes widen in disbelief, staring at Ye Fei, "How do you know...?"

Han Nanhua and the others are also stunned, "Yue'er, your foot was injured?"

"And it cramps?"

Han Yue's eyelids twitch, and she nods with difficulty.

Last year, while ice skating in the north, she accidentally cut her left foot and fell into an ice hole. Although she was unharmed, her left foot developed aftereffects.

As Ye Fei described, she often experiences cramps at night, and despite seeing many doctors, there has been no improvement.

She is a very strong-willed girl and didn't tell her family about her injured foot.

So when Ye Fei pointed it out in public, she couldn't help but be surprised.

Is this fraudster really skilled?

Sun Shengshou's eyes show approval, "Brother Ye, you are more skilled than I am. Mr. Han, Yue'er, I suggest you trust Ye Fei."

Song Hongyan also nods in agreement, "Yes, Ye Fei is truly capable."

"Brother Ye, Yue'er is ignorant, I apologize to you."

Han Nanhua bows deeply to Ye Fei, "Treat me, and I will accept whatever happens, whether I live or die."

"If you can cure me, I will give you half of my fortune."

"If you can't, it doesn't matter; it can't get much worse."

He is living in great pain, with constant abdominal cramps and sleepless nights. Despite his doubts about Ye Fei's youth, he is the only one who dares to claim he can treat him.

"Mr. Han, you are too kind."

Ye Fei originally wanted to leave, but seeing Han Nanhua's pitiful state, he feels a sense of compassion.

After all, the old man's attitude is still quite good.

Han Yue instinctively calls out, "Grandpa—" Ye Fei's eyes turn cold as he looks at Han Yue, "Miss Han, if you don't believe in my medical skills, let's make a bet today."

"If I can't cure your grandfather today, I will never practice medicine again and leave the Han family garden on my knees."

"But if I cure your grandfather, I don't want half of the Han family's fortune; I just want you to be my maid for a year."

"What do you think?"

"Miss Han, are you willing to take this bet?"

Ye Fei provokes the woman, "This bet is a win-win for you."

"If I win, you can laugh at me."

"If you lose, you just have to cook and clean for me for a year, but your grandfather will be saved."

He decides to humble Han Yue and make the arrogant woman pay a price.

Han Yue is initially stunned, then grits her teeth, "Fine, I'll take the bet, with Grandpa Sun and Sister Song as witnesses."

"If I lose, I'll be your maid."
