Chapter 496: Chapter 496
"The ambulance will be here soon, you must pay all our hospital bills, lost wages, and compensation for emotional distress—a total of five million!"
The middle-aged woman demanded five million right from the start, shocking everyone present.
Her three family members indeed suffered from food poisoning, but that wouldn't mean they were dying, would it?
Xu Hao chuckled lightly, "I had already sealed several acupoints with Silver Needles just now, the poison won't spread anymore. Their lives were no longer in danger. Even if you were truly unlucky to be poisoned, it would only be right to compensate a few hundred thousand at most. Moreover,"
Xu Hao's voice suddenly turned cold, "If you are here deliberately creating trouble, I'm afraid you might end up bankrupting yourselves!"
The middle-aged woman was frightened by Xu Hao's icy voice and shrieked repeatedly, "Don't slander us! You say you sealed the acupoints? Who do you think you're fooling? Who still believes in these charlatan traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture methods nowadays? It's all deceitful!"
Upon hearing the middle-aged woman insult traditional Chinese medicine, Ji Feng snapped angrily, "Traditional Chinese medicine is profound and should not be insulted by you! I will go check right now to see if Young Master Xu has indeed sealed their acupoints."
He approached the three individuals. To preserve the scene, no one dared to touch them, and even the items in their private room were left untouched.
Ji Feng bent down and took the pulse of the middle-aged woman's husband.
He furrowed his brows, his face a picture of surprise, and quickly switched to checking her son, and soon after, her older brother.
Ji Feng let go of the older brother's wrist, stood up, and bowed deeply to Xu Hao, exclaiming in awe, "Young Master Xu, you are truly impressive! I did not notice at all before, but you had already administered acupuncture to the three of them, and you did it perfectly, reducing their blood flow to the lowest speed yet not causing any discomfort due to poor circulation."
Seeing Ji Feng pay deep respects to Xu Hao and speak so highly of him, everyone was stunned!
He was the director of the Huadu University Medical School!
Huadu University Medical School is ranked in the top five in all of Quan Huaya City, and Ji Feng was its director!
This directorship was achieved through genuine professional ability. He was a well-known figure in the Huaya medical community, otherwise, even ordinary people wouldn't know about him.
Yet now, he was praising this unknown young man so highly!
Guan Wenzhi laughed, "Old Ji, do you see now? Young Master Xu's abilities are not merely theoretical—otherwise, my master wouldn't have willingly become his disciple."
"Indeed, I didn't believe in Young Master Xu's abilities before—it seems I was being narrow-minded! How could Medicine King Lei possibly have chosen wrongly!" Ji Feng sighed profoundly.
At that moment, someone heard the title "Medicine King Lei" and suddenly pointed at Guan Wenzhi, exclaiming, "I remember now! I thought you looked familiar. You are the disciple of the Southwest Medicine King Lei Qianjue, Divine Doctor Guan Wenzhi!"
Hearing this, everyone exclaimed in surprise. Seeing Director Ji in this restaurant was expected, since Huadu University Medical School was nearby, but they never imagined they would also meet Divine Doctor Guan Wenzhi!
At this point, people looked at the two as if they were fans meeting celebrities, their eyes burning with excitement.
Guan Wenzhi laughed, "Everyone, please, calm down. Now that my revered grandmaster is here, if you keep calling me Divine Doctor, aren't you killing me with kindness?" Check My Virtual Library Empire (*) for the latest updates.
"Are you saying that this Young Master Xu is your grandmaster?" someone asked uncertainly.
"Haha! Correct! He is my master's master, and now, he is my grandmaster, Divine Doctor Xu!" Guan Wenzhi introduced Xu Hao solemnly to everyone.
Instantly, everyone's gaze towards Xu Hao changed, becoming intensely fervent, with a deep sense of awe.
The name of Southwest Medicine King Lei Qianjue was known to everyone in the Southwest Three Provinces.
But given his age and rarity of practicing, he usually treated only highly esteemed individuals. How could these ordinary folk approach the Medicine King for medical consultations?
But now it was different. The Medicine King's master was here, and he was a young man.
Given that even the Medicine King revered him enough to acknowledge him as a master, his medical skills must indeed surpass those of the Medicine King.
Those with seriously ill family members grew keen, thinking if they could invite this Divine Doctor Xu to treat them, it would be wonderful!
And just how miraculous were the medical skills of this young man,
to make even the Medicine King, renowned for the highest medical skills in the Southwest, willingly become his disciple?
Guan Wenzhi had spoken only the truth, and Xu Hao did not refute, accepting it calmly.
The middle-aged woman, seeing the conversation turning in favor of Xu Hao and his group, suddenly said angrily, "You say you sealed their acupoints, but did you really? I suspect you've been colluding all along, just to avoid compensating us and to mess with our family!"
