77: Grandpa has definitely been scammed!

Ye Chen remained silent, and Bai Wanqing continued to speak.

"Mr. Ye, that Elder Zhang holds a revered position in the medical field, with students everywhere, and his influence is not insignificant."

"Since he is so persistent about meeting you, perhaps it wouldn't hurt to meet him?"

"At the very least, listen to what he has to say."

"To take a step back..."

"This will do you no harm."

She rarely persuaded others like this, but Zhang Sansheng's status was truly special.

Not only was he a leading authority in the medical field, but his son held a high-ranking position in the province, and his grandson also held an important post at a top medical institution.

Being able to form a good relationship with such a person was by no means a bad thing for Ye Chen.

"Alright."

Ye Chen rubbed his brow and finally agreed, "Please tell Elder Zhang, Madam Bai, that I will be there shortly."

"Good, I will make the arrangements."

Bai Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief.

The call ended.

Ye Chen glanced back at Jin Meiting, who was still fast asleep, then gently closed the door and left.

...

A low-key Hongqi business car was parked quietly outside Bai Wanqing's villa.

In the driver's seat, a middle-aged man with a composed temperament waited quietly.

In the back seat.

In the back seat, Zhang Sansheng sat with his hands folded on his lap and his spine straight. Although there was fatigue on his face, his eyes were burning bright, revealing a deep sense of anticipation.

Just a few minutes ago...

Bai Wanqing had come out personally to inform him that Ye Chen had agreed to come.

This news allowed the stone in his heart to drop, yet it also tightened another string...

What kind of existence was that mysterious gentleman? Was he truly willing to speak with him?

So much so that...

In order not to make the gentleman feel that he lacked sincerity, he had even politely declined Bai Wanqing's kind offer to wait inside!

Sitting beside him was a young man of about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, with a handsome appearance.

He was Zhang Sansheng's grandson, Zhang Wuji.

At this moment, he was looking at his grandfather with a helpless expression.

"Grandpa!"

Zhang Wuji couldn't help but speak again.

"I heard... you recited 'the yellow emperors inner canon' just because of this 'Master'?"

"Is he really... just a young man in his early twenties? Younger than me?"

"That's right." Zhang Sansheng nodded. "Judging by appearances, he's probably two or three years younger than you."

Zhang Wuji: "???"

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

Younger than him?

Wouldn't that mean he's only twenty-three or twenty-four?

At this age, in the medical field, one usually hasn't even finished their doctorate; being able to study under a mentor at a top hospital is already quite good...

A Master?

It's simply absurd.

Could it be some Qigong Master?

"I am not questioning you,"

Zhang Wuji rubbed his temples, "But in the path of medicine, even with talent, it requires massive accumulation and clinical tempering."

"At his age, even if he started learning from the womb, how much depth could he have?"

"Have you been fooled by some street magic tricks?"

As a specially appointed researcher at a top domestic medical school, he had seen too many so-called "geniuses."

But in the end?

They were just fleeting, or merely limited, one-sided talents!

He truly couldn't believe that a man younger than himself could reach a level in medicine that made his grandfather so reverent, to the point of insisting on becoming his disciple!

He would rather believe that this was a scam!

Just like those phone calls promoting various health supplements, specifically designed to deceive old men and women...

It's just that the other party's deception was too strong; even his grandfather, with his high medical skills, had been fooled.

Zhang Sansheng's expression stiffened slightly upon hearing this.

"Wuji, how many times have I taught you?"

"In the path of medicine, the capable come first; how can one judge superiority solely by age?"

"Your preconceived notions are precisely the shackles hindering the improvement of your vision!"

Zhang Wuji was a bit sheepish after being scolded, but he still wasn't convinced.

"Even if we don't talk about age, we have to look at the reality, right?"

"Among the young generation in the domestic medical field, I have heard of more or less everyone with any weight."

"For someone this capable to suddenly pop up, how could I not know even a whisper of news?"

"You haven't heard of him," Zhang Sansheng said indifferently, "it only shows that your vision is still narrow."

Zhang Wuji: "..."

Zhang Sansheng took a deep breath: "He never intended to make a name for himself in your so-called 'circle,' and Grandpa has also told you before not to form cliques."

Zhang Wuji: "..."

Zhang Sansheng seemed to think of something and asked again: "Let me ask you, can you cure rabies? Especially rabies during the active phase!"

Zhang Wuji was stunned.

"Rabies? Grandpa, you must be joking..."

"That is currently recognized as a disease with almost one hundred percent mortality once it breaks out."

"Prevention relies on vaccines, and there is currently no effective cure after the onset of the disease; this is common knowledge..."

Zhang Sansheng impatiently interrupted him upon hearing this.

"Common knowledge?"

"But he cured it!"

"Not only did he expose a shocking scam, but he also used a few Silver Needles to pull a patient, who had been ravaged to the point of being on the verge of death by fake medicine, back from the gates of hell!"

"I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be fake?"

"What?!" Zhang Wuji was completely stunned.

Cured active-phase rabies?

How is this possible!

"Is it a new technology in modern medicine?"

"Or was an unknown biological agent used?"

He asked anxiously, "This involves virology, neurology... and many other cutting-edge fields; how could a young man master this?"

The more he heard, the more he felt this was a scam...

"There was no new technology, nor any unknown agents."

Zhang Sansheng's voice carried the lingering emotion of having witnessed a miracle.

"It was just the Silver Needles, the technique, and also a kind of..."

"Hmm, visible to the naked eye, but a 'Qi' that I cannot comprehend!"

"The feeling at that moment was as if the rules of life and death were being gently flicked by his fingertips."

No!

This is too wrong!

Zhang Wuji could already be one hundred percent certain in his heart...

His grandfather had been blinded by a clever con artist.

No way!

He must expose that guy later!!!

Just at this moment, a black Audi slowly drove up and stopped behind the Hongqi car.

The car door opened, and a young man dressed in casual clothes stepped out.

But upon seeing the person who arrived.

A brilliance instantly burst forth in Zhang Sansheng's eyes, and the weariness on his face was swept away.

He couldn't wait to push the door open and get out of the car.

"Mr. Ye! You have arrived!"

He hurried forward, bowed slightly, "I have disturbed you, I am truly sorry!"

Ye Chen quickly supported him: "Elder Zhang, you are too polite; you are really embarrassing me by doing this."

At this moment, Zhang Wuji also followed him down and stood behind his grandfather, eyeing Ye Chen with a scrutinizing gaze.

Hmm, he is a bit handsome, quite tall, well-proportioned, and his eyes are quite bright.

But that's all there is to it.

Dressed ordinarily, and his temperament...

To put it nicely, it's easygoing; to put it bluntly, it's plain and unremarkable, the kind you can't find in a crowd of people.

But what's the use of being handsome?

Can it be used as medical skill?

The thought in Zhang Wuji's heart that "Grandpa has been deceived" became even stronger!

He couldn't help but step forward, passing his grandfather, and stood directly in front of Ye Chen, his tone carrying malice: "Are you that Ye Chen?"

Ye Chen nodded: "I am Ye Chen, and you are?"

"My name is Zhang Wuji, and Elder Zhang is my grandfather."

Zhang Wuji lifted his chin and went straight to the point, "I ask you, what method did you use to bamboozle my grandfather? To actually make him, at his age, recite 'the yellow emperors inner canon' for you?"

Ye Chen blinked, feeling a bit confused: "I bamboozled Elder Zhang? Bamboozled him out of what?"

"Still pretending?"

Zhang Wuji snorted coldly.

"Just by relying on you, a young man in his early twenties, you can cure active-phase rabies?"

"You can pull a dying person back with a few Silver Needles?"

"Do you think this is a fantasy novel?"

The more he spoke, the angrier he got, and his fists even clenched...

"My grandfather has spent his whole life studying the medical path and is pure of heart; he is very easily blinded by some ulterior motives!"

"I'm telling you, real medicine is a rigorous science, not a stage for you charlatans to play god and act like ghosts!"

"With me here today, don't even think about deceiving him again!"

Zhang Sansheng's expression changed, and he scolded sternly: "Wuji! Insolent! How dare you speak to Mr. Ye like that!"

"Grandpa! I am doing this for your own good!"

Zhang Wuji stiffened his neck, "You cannot, just because he played some tricks..."

"Little tricks?" Ye Chen suddenly laughed.

Zhang Wuji glared at him: "What are you laughing at? Are you feeling guilty?"

"Mr. Zhang, right?"

Ye Chen's tone was calm.

"You are right, medicine is a rigorous science."

"Therefore, judging the ability of a healer should be based on efficacy and facts, not age, qualifications, and certainly not..."

"Preconceived prejudices, right?"

Zhang Wuji was choked up by his words, then retorted: "Empty words are baseless! As for your so-called efficacy, is there any peer review? Clinical data? Research paper support? If you can't produce anything, how can you make me believe?"

"You want evidence?" Ye Chen raised an eyebrow.

Zhang Wuji sneered: "Of course! If you can really prove yourself, not only will I apologize, but I will even call you Dad!"

"Your dad isn't dead yet." Zhang Sansheng's face darkened.

Zhang Wuji: "..."
