Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: A Conspiracy

After getting out of the car, Wang Ye heard someone shouting loudly in the crowd.

"Quack, quack. The doctors in your medical hall are all quacks. My mother had just a headache, but you treated her into paralysis. You have to take responsibility, compensate, compensate."

Quack?

The medical expertise of Chen Li, the second senior sister, could be considered on the level of a National Medical Expert. No matter what, she couldn't be a quack.

There must be some hidden information here.

Wang Ye quickly squeezed into the crowd and then saw a stretcher on the ground, on which a middle-aged woman was lying.

Upon taking a closer look at the woman, Wang Ye immediately knew she was faking it.

If she were indeed paralyzed, her entire demeanor would have changed, and her mental state would have been completely different. But this woman, breathing steadily, expression natural, even had a slight secretive smile at the corner of her mouth.

"Sir, all the treatments in our medical hall comply with regulations and such incidents would never occur. There must be another reason for your mother's condition. Please do not worry, our medical hall will conduct an examination for your mother. After finding out the truth, we will definitely offer you an explanation."

A young girl wearing a white coat spoke up to explain; she was Xie Yalin, an intern doctor at the hall.

"Get lost, with all the quacks in your medical hall, how dare I let you treat my mother. I just want you to pay up now! Your medical hall should also be shut down right now, to stop causing harm to the people. Everyone agrees, right?"

"Yes, such a medical hall should be shut down."

"Exactly, a bunch of quacks, just causing harm here. Get out early!"

Stirred by these words, the uninformed crowd immediately started condemning Peerless Medical Hall.

"What bullshit Peerless Medical Hall, in my opinion, it's a harmful medical hall, let's smash it together."

"Smash it, don't let such medical halls swindle and harm us all."

The situation escalated more and more and had reached an uncontrollable point.

The intern doctor, Xie Yalin, simply couldn't handle such a situation and even began to cry in fear.

And yet, there was still no one else from the medical hall coming out to help.

Wang Ye knew he couldn't let the situation continue like this. Otherwise, the Peerless Medical Hall of his second senior sister, Chen Li, might really get smashed by these people.

"Everyone quiet down."

A loud voice rose, but it wasn't Wang Ye's; it was another man dressed in a suit.

Twenty-something, fairly handsome, but there was a cunning look between his brows.

"Isn't this Young Master Zhou?" the youth leading the agitation immediately recognized the man.

"Young Master Zhou? Is it Zhou Tianhao Young Master Zhou?"

"Isn't that obvious? Besides Zhou Tianhao Young Master Zhou, who else could be Young Master Zhou here!"

"Zhou Tianhao? Who is that, I've never heard of him."

"You haven't heard of Zhou Tianhao, but you must have heard of Young Master Yang Junsheng! This Zhou Tianhao, he is Yang Junsheng's cousin!"

"Oh! So it's like that. Young Master Yang is not ordinary! He's one of Yun City's four young masters."

Yang Junsheng again?

Wang Ye's gaze turned cold; Yang Junsheng sure moved swiftly.

Knowing he was coming to find Chen Li, the second senior sister, he immediately arranged such a play to wait for him.

But thinking it over, something didn't add up. How could Yang Junsheng possibly know about his relationship with Chen Li? So, this must be a plot instigated by Zhou Tianhao himself.

At that moment, Zhou Tianhao pretended to be righteous and comforted Xie Yalin.

"Xie, don't cry! Whatever it is, Brother Zhou will help you block it. Miss Chen has taken people to attend the Medical Exchange Conference, and she will be back soon."

A medical conference? No wonder no one from the Peerless Medical Hall was there to assist Xie Yalin.

"Young Master Zhou, you are a prominent figure in Yun City, you can't be biased towards Peerless Medical Hall! They've treated people like this, they must pay a price."

"Alright, alright! I will definitely get you justice for your mother's issue. I've already contacted National Medical Expert Yuan Hongming; Master Yuan is here. Whatever the reason, Master Yuan will know with just a glance." Zhou Tianhao said, waving his hand, and a middle-aged man dressed in a Tang suit approached.

Wang Ye was slightly startled upon hearing this.

It was indeed a grand conspiracy, meticulously planned.

However, Wang Ye had already witnessed Yuan Hongming's medical skills, which were very ordinary.

Earlier at the banquet, Wang Ye hadn't paid him any attention. But now that he dared to show up again, Wang Ye would not let him off so easily this time.

But now, Wang Ye wanted to see what kind of play these two were going to perform. If there were no surprises, the people who came to cause trouble were definitely arranged by them.

"Master Yuan, don't wait any longer, hurry up and take a look for them," Zhou Tianhao exchanged glances with Yuan Hongming.

Understanding the cue, Yuan Hongming bent down to feel the pulse of the person on the stretcher, and then gave a thorough examination.

Then he stood up and said, "This is caused by the misuse of highly toxic medicinal materials leading to blood stagnation and chaotic meridians."

"Everyone heard that, right? Master Yuan said it, it's due to misuse of medicinal materials. My mother has only been using medicinal materials from Peerless Medical Hall recently, so it is Peerless Medical Hall's responsibility," the person immediately shouted.

"Shut up! You kid, don't jump to conclusions so early. Whether your mother has consumed medicinal materials from other places, are you certain your words are the truth? Let Master Yuan finish talking."

Upon Zhou Tianhao speaking up, the man immediately fell silent.

"Young Master Zhou, from what I see, the most important thing right now is to cure this woman first. Other matters can be investigated later," Yuan Hongming said earnestly.

But his words, in a way, implied Peerless Medical Hall's responsibility.

On the surface, he and Zhou Tianhao were helping Peerless Medical Hall, but in reality, they were making matters worse.

"Master Yuan makes sense, let's quickly carry the person into the medical hall, treat first and talk later," Zhou Tianhao immediately agreed.

"Yes, yes, Master, please cure my mother first, other matters are not important."

The crowd bustlingly carried the woman into the medical hall.

Wang Ye also followed them inside; he knew he could not let Zhou Tianhao's conspiracy succeed.

Since that woman liked to pretend to be paralyzed, then might as well let her truly experience what paralysis feels like.

But not now.

Yuan Hongming was going to treat her and it was going to be just a formality.

After his treatment, Wang Ye would make his move, shifting the blame to create a perfect resolution to the issue.

In the medical hall, the woman had already been helped onto a bed.

Yuan Hongming also took out his medical kit, pulling out a silver needle case from it.

It seemed he was going to use acupuncture to treat the woman.

But seeing Yuan Hongming's needle-taking technique, Wang Ye knew he was not a real National Medical Expert. His skills were at most at the level of an ordinary acupuncturist, something any doctor from a national medical hall could match.

Yet he appeared arrogant, taking three silver needles and swiftly inserting them into several spots on the woman's body.

Then he said, "Three minutes from now, this person will be lively and active."
