"Oh? Using traditional Chinese medicine to treat brain nerve damage?"
Upon hearing Xie Yun's words, the old man's eyes lit up unconsciously, as if he had thought of something.
"Yes, that's what he said, and he even made a bet with Huang Junjie, seeing who could better treat this kind of illness."
In front of the old man, Xie Yun dared not hide anything.
After all, only she herself knew how much weight this old man carried in Hangcheng!
"Huang Junjie? That kid from the Huang family? The one who studied abroad?"
The old man narrowed his eyes, recalling that fair-skinned young man.
Regarding brain nerve damage, he had inquired about all the renowned doctors in Hangcheng, but without exception, they all claimed to have no solution.
As for Huang Junjie, a mere youngster who hadn't even grown a beard, he had simply glanced at the information and moved on.
"Yes, it's him!"
Xie Yun, unaware of the old man's thoughts, could only nod truthfully.
"This is quite interesting. As far as I know, Huang Junjie is hailed as the number one among the younger generation in Hangcheng's medical community. For someone to dare challenge him, that's quite intriguing."
"However, Xiao Yun, are you suggesting that this old man should become the test subject for their competition?"
At this point, the old man glanced at Xie Yun with great interest, his sharp eyes making Xie Yun shiver involuntarily.
It was only then that Xie Yun suddenly realized she was essentially asking for trouble!
"I'm sorry, Elder Meng, I was wrong!"
Immediately, Xie Yun reacted, performing a ninety-degree bow and apologizing to the old man.
"Alright, alright, no need to be nervous. This old man doesn't have many days left anyway. The doctors said I have at most a week, right?"
Seeing Xie Yun's nervous expression, the old man relaxed his brow and smiled again.
"Yes."
Xie Yun nodded, not daring to hide anything.
"Then can you tell me what's so special about these two youngsters that you'd come to me so rashly?"
The old man shed his imposing demeanor, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
He knew Xie Yun well enough to know she wasn't a reckless girl. Since she was here, she must have some backing!
"It's like this, the person who came to challenge saw at a glance that Huang Junjie has a hereditary disease, and their family's hereditary illness happens to be a deficiency of brain nerves."
"Moreover, he predicted that Huang Junjie's direct blood relatives would definitely not live past fifty-five."
"Coincidentally, half a year ago, Huang Junjie's uncle passed away due to damaged brain nerves, and two months ago, Huang Junjie's own father was hospitalized for brain nerve issues."
"So I thought..."
Xie Yun didn't continue.
With so many coincidences piling up, it was more than just a mere coincidence!
"So that's how it is."
After listening to Xie Yun, the old man nodded thoughtfully.
"Fine, I only have a week left anyway. I might as well see what the younger generation in Hangcheng is capable of."
The old man sighed with a hint of helplessness.
He was resorting to desperate measures now, but he had no choice. He wanted to live!
Huang Junjie was, after all, a talented student who had studied abroad and reportedly brought back some high-precision instruments. What if they worked?
He didn't want to die!
Even with the slightest glimmer of hope, he wanted to live!
After all, he knew very well what fate would befall his family if he truly died.
"Okay, Elder Meng, I'll go arrange for them to come over now."
With Elder Meng's approval, Xie Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As she walked out of the ward, she realized her undershirt was already drenched in cold sweat.
Before long, Lin Chen and Huang Junjie were brought to the door of Elder Meng's ward.
Also present were the high-precision instruments Huang Junjie had specially brought.
Seeing the scene outside the ward, both Lin Chen and Huang Junjie showed a hint of surprise.
"Gentlemen, the person inside has an extraordinary identity. You just need to perform an examination and state his specific condition. Whoever can provide a more detailed diagnosis will win."
At the ward entrance, Xie Yun solemnly briefed the two.
"Hmph, Doctor Xie, you underestimate me too much, don't you?"
"Look at this! This is the machine I brought back from abroad. It's the only one in Hangcheng, and it's specifically for the brain."
"With this machine, I don't believe there's any illness I can't diagnose!"
Upon hearing Xie Yun, Huang Junjie spoke with unwavering confidence without a second thought.
This was the world's most advanced instrument. If even it couldn't detect something, then no machine could!
"Alright, then you can try."
"Remember, no loud noises inside. Whoever the elder allows to examine him, that's who will step forward to prepare."
"The elder's identity is not simple, so don't get yourself into trouble."
After saying this, Xie Yun signaled to two bodyguards for the examination.
After the check, the two of them followed Xie Yun into the ward.
As soon as he entered, Lin Chen's brow furrowed slightly.
Lying on the bed was an old man in his seventies, his hair white and his body gaunt.
What surprised Lin Chen the most was that a swirling aura of death surrounded the old man's head.
It was clear that the old man didn't have much time left!
"Elder Meng, this is Huang Junjie. He's brought his equipment from abroad too. Why don't you let him examine you first?"
Xie Yun nodded to Elder Meng and suggested.
She knew Elder Meng's intentions. He was desperate, wanting to see if the instruments Huang Junjie brought from abroad would be effective.
"Hmm, alright."
Elder Meng nodded and sat up from the bed.
"Huh? Old man, you look a bit familiar. Have we met somewhere before..."
Seeing Elder Meng, Huang Junjie was taken aback.
The face did look familiar, but he couldn't recall where he had seen it before.
"Alright, Young Master Huang, let's proceed with the examination first."
Before Huang Junjie could continue, Xie Yun interrupted him.
This was no joke; Elder Meng's identity was too important to be revealed so easily!
"Okay."
Hearing Xie Yun, Huang Junjie calmed himself down.
Even if he were a fool, he would realize that the armed bodyguards at the door were protecting this elder.
Without further hesitation, Huang Junjie began to adjust the equipment.
"Old man, are you really that sick in the head? Did you damage your own brain?"
However, as Huang Junjie was adjusting the equipment, Lin Chen's voice rang out, filled with curiosity and a shocking statement.
