Chapter 837: Chapter 837
Xue Ying nodded and said, "Now Mu Corporation is also having a hard time. Yue Qun has opened the Wan Yao Group directly opposite Bai Cao Tang, and they've even hired an acupuncture master. I heard quite a few customers have been poached."
"Is that so?" Lin Chen's eyes slightly narrowed.
Lin Chen knew that since the Xingchen Group had just entered Zhonghai and was considered an outsider, it was necessary to have a good ally for better development.
And Mu Corporation's Bai Cao Tang was Lin Chen's best ally, deeply rooted in Zhonghai. If it fell, then Xingchen Group would have an even harder time making a mark in Zhonghai.
"I will go and meet the acupuncture master from Wan Yao Group right now." Lin Chen said coldly as he bid farewell to Xue Ying and headed straight for Bai Cao Tang.
Upon arriving at the entrance of Bai Cao Tang, Lin Chen felt that the place was noticeably quieter than before.
Even some of the staff were nodding off.
At this moment, the manager of Bai Cao Tang quickly came out to greet him: "Mr. Lin, you've come. Are you here to get some medicine?"
Lin Chen shook his head: "Is your chairman or Mu Zong here?"
"They're both here, in a meeting," said the manager.
"Oh, then I will wait for a while," Lin Chen said with a smile.
"No need. Our chairman said that you are an honored guest, and to report to him immediately no matter the size of the matter," the manager hastily replied.
It wasn't long before Mu Yusen and Mu Feng hurried out.
"Mr. Lin, what brings you here today?" Mu Yusen asked with a smile upon seeing Lin Chen.
Lin Chen smiled faintly: "I heard that business hasn't been so good for you lately, so I came to check in on you."
Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Mu Yusen sighed: "I never expected Yue Qun to exploit the resources of Yao Zong to open a pharmacy right across from me. He is showing no regard for our fellow sect's relationship, aiming to drive me to a dead end."
Lin Chen smiled faintly: "Don't worry, as long as you cooperate with our Xingchen Group, this won't happen."
"Does that mean Mr. Lin is willing to help us?" Mu Yusen asked excitedly.
Lin Chen nodded: "They have hired an acupuncture master, right? Then I will meet this acupuncture master and put up a notice at the entrance, claiming that the acupuncture master can cure all diseases."
"Isn't that slogan a bit too bold, Mr. Lin?" Mu Yusen said with some concern.
After all, the claim of curing all diseases was indeed audacious.
Lin Chen smiled faintly: "That's the point, to be audacious."
"Alright, since Mr. Lin is confident, we are even more confident." Saying this, Mu Yusen quickly ordered the advertisement to be posted and to make a splash, they even started broadcasting through loudspeakers.
Bai Cao Tang specially invites Mr. Lin Chen, the Huaxia Acupuncture Master, to give consultations, claiming to cure all diseases. Limited slots available, don't miss out if you're passing by.
Indeed, with the loudspeaker promotion, a crowd quickly gathered at Bai Cao Tang's door.
"Can he really cure all diseases, is it that miraculous?"
"Old Wu, don't you have rheumatism? This is a good opportunity to have it checked out."
Many people entered Bai Cao Tang with a try-and-see attitude.
One after another, three patients entered looking worried but left with joy and excitement.
While treating patients, Elder Mu suddenly realized that the queue outside had disappeared. Upon inquiry, he found out everyone had gone across the street.
It turns out that Lin Chen had quickly cured the persistent conditions of incoming patients, and the news instantaneously spread here.
Everyone knew that the experts at Wan Yao Group not only charged high fees but also prescribed expensive medicine, leaving many unable to afford treatment after a diagnosis. Hearing about a free Divine Doctor, who would still queue at his clinic?
"Who is this person, daring to openly challenge me?" Elder Mu's gaze suddenly turned icy.
"The Bai Cao Tang across the street has hired an expert who claims to be able to cure all diseases, so all the patients have gone there," a nurse whispered.
"Able to cure all diseases? I have to see who is this arrogant to claim such a thing," Elder Mu snorted coldly and stood up, heading towards Bai Cao Tang.
At this moment, there was already a long line of people waiting at Bai Cao Tang, and Elder Mu entered with a gloomy expression on his face.
Then his gaze fell on Lin Chen and a young apprentice beside him said, "Master, this is the man who injured Brother Li Meng with silver needles."
"So, it's him," Elder Mu's eyes turned frosty.
He then squeezed into the consultation room. Lin Chen looked up at Elder Mu and said, "If you want to see a doctor, please line up outside."
Lin Chen's silver needles moved quickly, piercing into an elderly man.
Elder Mu's expression drastically changed as he watched Lin Chen's needle technique, Elder Mu's speed with needles was so fast that even he could only see a blur.
"How is this possible!" Elder Mu had seen many acupuncture masters, but it was the first time he had seen someone as fast as Lin Chen.
A few minutes later, the elderly man sat up from the bed, twisting his neck: "Oh my god, Doctor Lin, you're truly miraculous, my stomach really doesn't hurt anymore."
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Pay attention to your diet, eat regularly, and exercise more often, and it should not recur."
The grateful elderly man nodded earnestly, thanking him profusely before leaving the consultation room.
At this point, Lin Chen looked at Elder Mu teasingly and said lightly, "What guidance does your excellency seek?"
Elder Mu said coldly, "Kid, even Bian Que and Hua Tuo of the past wouldn't dare to claim they can cure all diseases. Isn't this advertising hype of yours a bit too arrogant?"
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "If I say I can cure all diseases, then I can cure all diseases. I'm merely stating the truth. What's so arrogant about that?"
"Hmph, kid, I am unconvinced and want to challenge you to a test of acupuncture skills," Elder Mu said with a heavy voice.
Lin Chen nodded, "A test sounds good to me, let's proceed."
After discussing, the two decided to each see a patient, with the better therapeutic effect determining the winner.
At that moment, both were in the same consultation room. On Lin Chen's side was a girl in her twenties, while Elder Mu was faced with an old man partly paralyzed.
Lin Chen saw the girl and smiled faintly, "You must have a cervical issue, right?"
The girl nodded, "Yes, Doctor Lin, I've been feeling pain in my waist and neck lately."
Lin Chen took out a few silver needles and nodded, "Take a deep breath!"
The girl did as instructed and took a deep breath.
In that instant, Lin Chen's silver needles swiftly pierced out.
Whoosh, whoosh, in almost an instant, seven silver needles had been inserted into various acupoints on the girl's neck.
Faint streams of Spiritual Energy entered the girl's body and a few minutes later, Lin Chen pulled out the silver needles.
The girl twisted her neck, her face showing an incredulous expression: "Oh my, my neck really feels better, how is this possible?"
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Use your cell phone less often, pay more attention to exercise, and it probably won't recur in the short term."
The girl nodded seriously, "Thank you, Divine Doctor Lin, you're amazing. I've been to many big hospitals for my cervical spine issue and no one could help, but you solved it with just a few needles."
At this time, Elder Mu's face looked somewhat unpleasant; cursing his bad luck for encountering such a troublesome patient.
After checking the old man's pulse for a while, Elder Mu finally said, "Elder, your paralysis might be difficult to treat with traditional Chinese medicine."
Upon hearing Elder Mu's words, the old man's face showed a bitter expression: "I've been to many big hospitals, even abroad, and I wanted to give Western medicine a try, but it seems it's no use."
"Who says it's no use? You blame your own incompetence on the ineffectiveness of Chinese medicine, which is really laughable." Just then, a cold voice rang out from beside them.
