Bai Zihe’s words were resounding.
Fang Yongzheng was stunned at first, but then his rage erupted.
"Nonsense!"
Although he had lost to Bai Zihe in acupuncture, he would not allow Bai Zihe to slander the Medical Association he had painstakingly managed for years. He immediately snorted coldly, "Bai Zihe, I acknowledge your skill in acupuncture!"
"But you are slandering me, and you cannot..."
"Shut up!"
Bai Zihe let out a cold snort, his killing intent palpable. "Whether I am slandering you or not, you have eyes. You can see for yourself."
"The current Medical Association..."
"Is simply a pile of rotten fish and shrimp!"
"Don't believe me..."
A cold glint flashed in Bai Zihe's eyes as he looked at Jiang Weimin beside him. "Ask him what the Medical Association has done all these years!"
"And why I killed your so-called experts."
Fang Yongzheng immediately turned his gaze to Jiang Weimin, expecting him to provide an answer.
But Jiang Weimin...
Was timid and did not dare to tell the truth.
Because, just as Bai Zihe said, the current Medical Association could not withstand scrutiny!
"Speak!"
Fang Yongzheng roared, startling Jiang Weimin.
He stammered, "Actually, it's not that bad, it's just that..."
"Enough!"
Hearing him say this, Fang Yongzheng understood everything.
It was then that he realized.
In the years he had been in seclusion, the Medical Association had already changed drastically.
It was no longer the Medical Association that "believed in saving lives and considered curing diseases its duty."
"Good!"
"I handed over the Medical Association to you, and instead of developing it, you have done so much to damage its reputation..."
"And now you are twisting facts, making me attack Mr. Bai's family..."
"You are truly great contributors to my Medical Association!"
Furious, Fang Yongzheng’s eyes flashed with a fierce glow, his lungs about to explode.
His angry gaze swept over the high-ranking officials of the Medical Association. Those he looked at felt their scalps tingle and lowered their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.
After a long while, he recovered.
He looked at Bai Zihe, his face full of apology and regret. "Mr. Bai, this is my fault, and the Medical Association's fault!"
"I apologize to you sincerely!"
Saying this, he bowed deeply to Bai Zihe.
Then Fang Yongzheng added, "As for these pests in the Medical Association..."
He scanned everyone with icy eyes, devoid of any emotion. "I will investigate each and every one of them thoroughly and deal with them severely, giving you a satisfactory answer."
Bai Zihe let out a cold snort.
His powerful killing intent receded like a tide, and the pressure in the entire hall lessened immensely in an instant.
Outside, the sun was also shining brightly, returning to clarity.
"This time, considering you are quite sincere and not completely senile, I will not pursue it further. As long as you handle the internal affairs of the Medical Association properly."
"But if there is a next time..."
Bai Zihe narrowed his eyes slightly, the meaning obvious.
"I promise!"
Fang Yongzheng immediately declared, "From now on, I will personally oversee the entire Medical Association, ensuring they genuinely fulfill their duties as healers."
Bai Zihe’s expression was cold, neither confirming nor denying.
"Guards!"
Fang Yongzheng commanded again, "Go and invite Mr. Bai's father and sister out."
One minute later.
Bai Zhanhong and Bai Ruoyi were brought out.
Seeing them, Bai Zihe's expression instantly melted, and he asked with concern, "Dad, little sister, are you both alright?"
"We are fine."
Bai Zhanhong smiled at Fang Yongzheng and said to Bai Zihe, "President Fang did not make things difficult for us. Instead, he treated us to good food and drinks."
"And..."
"He even examined Ruoyi."
Bai Zihe raised an eyebrow. This was somewhat unexpected for him.
It seemed.
This President Fang Yongzheng was indeed a man of integrity.
Since he had his father and younger sister, Bai Zihe did not intend to stay any longer and walked out of the Medical Association with them.
Fang Yongzheng, however, stepped forward and said, "Mr. Bai, could we speak in private?"
His gaze fell on Bai Ruoyi.
Bai Zihe understood. He probably wanted to talk about the蛊虫 (gu worm) in Bai Ruoyi's head.
"Dad, little sister, you go ahead first."
Bai Zihe said to Bai Zhanhong and Bai Ruoyi, "President Fang and I have something to discuss. We will be back later."
They naturally had no objections.
Bai Zihe followed Fang Yongzheng to the side.
"Mr. Bai, you must be aware of the gu worm in your sister's head?"
Fang Yongzheng got straight to the point.
Bai Zihe nodded, unsure of his intentions.
Fang Yongzheng sighed and spoke frankly, "This gu worm... is indeed very powerful, and I don't have a very good solution."
"However..."
"This gu worm is not impossible to remove, it just requires greater strength."
This was exactly what his fifth senior sister had told Bai Zihe.
Bai Zihe couldn't help but smile wryly, "Greater strength, it's easy to say, but how easy is it to achieve?"
"Or..."
Fang Yongzheng suddenly smiled mysteriously.
Bai Zihe's heart stirred. Could he have another way?
Before he could ask, Fang Yongzheng continued, "Without the support of greater strength, you might as well try another method!"
