78: The shocked grandson, Bai Wanqing, "sent a gift"!

Seeing Zhang Wuji's speechless expression, Ye Chen couldn't be bothered to waste any more words.

He didn't like showing off; currently, he only sought stability.

But if someone treated him like a swindler... then he had no choice but to show off!

Ye Chen suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Zhang Wuji's left wrist.

"For the past three months, hasn't the ulnar side of your left wrist often had a dull ache?"

"Especially on rainy days, or after operating instruments or holding a pen for a long time, does the pain intensify, sometimes accompanied by slight numbness?"

Zhang Wuji was about to speak to change the subject, but the words caught in his throat.

His pupils suddenly contracted, and his face was full of astonishment.

How... how did he know this?

He had been suffering from this condition for a while now.

He originally thought it was just common tenosynovitis, didn't pay much attention to it, and never mentioned it to anyone... Ye Chen ignored his shock and continued speaking.

"This is not simply strain."

"Has the flexibility of your little finger also gotten worse than before? Do you occasionally lack strength when grasping things?"

"If I'm not mistaken, this is compression of the ulnar nerve in the ulnar tunnel of the wrist, also known as 'Guyon's Canal Syndrome'."

"It's not easily detected by general examination, but if you delay treatment, it could lead to muscle atrophy in your hand later on."

Zhang Wuji was completely stunned and unconsciously wiggled his left little finger.

That's right!

Ye Chen wasn't wrong!

His little finger sometimes didn't obey his commands, and he thought it was due to exhaustion... No... the other party hadn't even touched him or performed any examination. How did he know?

Ye Chen frowned slightly and continued speaking to himself.

"Also, you've been staying up late recently, haven't you? Your diet is irregular, and you've eaten plenty of cold and raw foods."

"Your tongue coating is white and greasy, and the area under your eyes is blue; this indicates Deficiency and Coldness in the Middle Jiao, and stagnation of Spleen Dampness."

"Do you constantly feel fatigued, bloated after meals, and have loose stools?"

Zhang Wuji opened his mouth, unable to utter a single word.

He hit the nail on the head again!

A key project had recently concluded, and he had been staying up almost every night until the early hours, eating whatever was convenient. His stomach had indeed been uncomfortable... But how did Ye Chen perceive all this?

Just by looking at him a few times?!

As soon as Zhang Sansheng saw his grandson's expression, he knew Ye Chen had been spot on with every statement.

He felt both concern for his grandson and deep shock at Ye Chen's insight, sighing involuntarily.

"Wuji, do you believe it now?"

"Mr. Ye's ability has long surpassed the ordinary 'Observing, Hearing, Questioning, and Palpating'—it's nearly 'Gazing at Qi to Know Illness'!"

Zhang Wuji's face was burning.

His previous skepticism, anger, and disdain... all transformed into incredible shock and a persistent trace of embarrassment.

Could such profound medical skills truly exist in this world?

Was this man, younger than himself, truly the "Master" his grandfather spoke of?

Ye Chen looked at him, looking like he was doubting life itself, suddenly smiled, and patted his shoulder.

"Don't worry, none of these are major issues."

"For your wrist problem, I'll find time to give you a couple of acupuncture needles and teach you a stretching exercise; it will quickly relieve the symptoms."

"As for your Spleen and Stomach, eat on time, avoid cold and raw foods, and I'll prescribe a simple formula; you'll be fine after taking it for three days."

Zhang Wuji stared blankly at Ye Chen, and after a long while, managed to squeeze out a question: "You... are you really a doctor?"

Ye Chen thought for a moment, then shook his head: "No."

"No..."

Zhang Wuji's mind became even more confused. "If you're not a doctor, how do you know my symptoms? And how could you earn such high praise from Grandpa?"

Ye Chen shrugged helplessly.

"Seriously, I'm just a driver."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Madam Bai."

Zhang Wuji: "???"

Stunned!

Too stunned!

A driver possessing such powerful medical skills?

Are you sure this isn't a joke?

Just then, Bai Wanqing walked out of the villa.

The morning light cast a soft, warm glow around the edges of her elegant nightgown.

She smiled gently, breaking the silence.

"Elder Zhang, Mr. Ye, since you are discussing medical skills, why don't you come inside and sit?"

"Standing at the doorway is not proper hospitality."

Zhang Sansheng woke up as if from a dream.

"Yes, yes, I was being impolite!"

"Mr. Ye, look..."

He looked eagerly at Ye Chen, "I have fulfilled our agreement and memorized all eighty-one chapters of the yellow emperors inner canon without missing a single word. If you don't believe me, I can..."

Ye Chen felt his head swell upon hearing this and quickly waved his hand to interrupt: "Elder Zhang, I believe you, absolutely! There's no need for a live recitation demonstration... Let's just stick to what we agreed upon: discussion and exchange."

Good heavens... If he really let Zhang Sansheng recite the yellow emperors inner canon publicly, he would be pushing his luck and putting on airs!

A smile immediately bloomed on Zhang Sansheng's face, and he nodded repeatedly.

"Good! Good!"

"Exchange! Exchange is good!"

Zhang Wuji stood behind his grandfather, his expression still somewhat dazed.

Afterward, the group followed Bai Wanqing into the living room.

Bai Wanqing had the maid brew clear tea.

Zhang Sansheng, however, was impatient; as soon as he sat down, he brought up several difficult questions from ancient medical texts that had troubled him for a long time.

These issues involved descriptions of ancient medical principles, meridian circulation, and even lost acupuncture methods, all of which were obscure and profound.

Ye Chen pondered briefly, but did not answer directly. Instead, he asked Zhang Sansheng a few unrelated questions.

Regarding the solar terms of heaven and earth, and the pattern of changes in the body's Qi and blood corresponding to the cycles of the sun and moon.

Zhang Sansheng was initially confused, but as he concentrated and thought carefully, the complex problems tangled in his mind suddenly opened up, like ripples spreading out after a stone was dropped, clearing the blockage!

Zhang Wuji listened intently from the side.

Some of the questions his grandfather asked, he had heard his grandfather mention before, knowing they were difficult points constantly debated in the academic community.

Yet, Ye Chen's few words managed to excite his grandfather so much, as if a layer of window paper had been pierced.

But he understood... this kind of heuristic guidance was more brilliant than simply giving the answer.

It also demonstrated the power of Ye Chen's medical skills!

At this moment.

He finally fully realized that Ye Chen was not a swindler; he truly had ability... The three of them exchanged ideas for a full three hours, only stopping when Ye Chen took his leave.

Bai Wanqing noticed that when the Zhang family grandfather and grandson watched Ye Chen leave, their eyes were filled with reluctance to part.

She found it strange.

Just earlier, the grandfather and grandson had opposing views.

Yet, in just a few hours, Ye Chen had completely reversed the attitudes of this grandfather and grandson with conflicting opinions... It had to be said.

Ye Chen truly was a miracle worker.

She watched Ye Chen's Audi merge into the distant traffic.

Zhang Sansheng let out a long breath, the respect on his face increasing rather than diminishing.

He then patted his grandson's shoulder beside him, speaking earnestly.

"My grandson, now you should finally understand why Grandpa holds Mr. Ye in such high regard, shouldn't you?"

"This is what they mean by: Beyond the Heavens are Other Heavens; Beyond Men are Other Men!"

"The path of medicine is vast as the ocean, and what we know and learn is but a drop in the bucket."

All traces of doubt had vanished from Zhang Wuji's face, leaving only sincere admiration.

"Grandpa, I was wrong."

"Mr. Ye... no, Master Ye, he is truly a divine physician."

"Everything he said and did today completely overturned my previous understanding of medicine."

"In the past, I always thought that everything outside the modern medical system was worthless. Now I see that I was just a frog in a well, far too narrow-minded."

Seeing his grandson genuinely repent, Zhang Sansheng was greatly comforted, stroking his beard and smiling.

"To err is human, to correct is divine."

"Mr. Ye has shown us the kindness of guidance. We must host a banquet another day to properly thank him."

Bai Wanqing, standing nearby, shook her head gently upon hearing this.

"Elder Zhang, Ye Chen will certainly appreciate your sentiment."

"It's just that he might not have the time recently."

"Oh?" Zhang Wuji turned his head in confusion. "Madam Bai, why do you say that? Is Master Ye... busy?"

Bai Wanqing looked in the direction where Ye Chen's car had disappeared and explained calmly: "He recently had some friction with the Zhao Family in the provincial capital."

That's right.

She had known about the matter involving Zheng Hu for a long time.

Precisely because of this... she had persuaded Ye Chen to come, hoping to use the opportunity to connect with the Zhang Family, which might offer some help.

"The Zhao Family?"

Zhang Sansheng frowned. "The Zhao Family of the Azure Dragon Society?"

Bai Wanqing nodded.

"Last night, Zheng Hu was brought to justice, and the Heavenly Palace changed hands—all done by Ye Chen."

"The Zhao Family has coveted Zheng Hu's assets for years. Now that their plan has failed, they certainly won't let the matter rest."

"So, Ye Chen probably has no time for banquets right now."

As her voice faded, the atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

The smile on Zhang Sansheng's face slowly disappeared, and a rare cold glint flashed across his normally gentle and kind eyes.

"My grandson..."

"Who did your father say he was meeting this morning?"

Zhang Wuji hurriedly replied: "It seems to be the Young Master of the Zhao Family in the provincial capital, Zhao Yi!"

Zhang Sansheng narrowed his eyes: "Go back immediately. If he dares to mess around, Grandpa will beat him senseless with the Seven Wolves."

Zhang Wuji's heart tightened, and he immediately responded.

"Yes, Grandpa!"

"Grandson knows where the Seven Wolves are kept!"

Zhang Sansheng nodded, then turned to Bai Wanqing and cupped his hands in a serious manner.

"Madam Bai, thank you for informing me."

"Mr. Ye has shown me the kindness of guidance. If the Zhao Family wants to touch him, they'll have to ask this old man first."

Although he was just a scholar of medicine.

But... he had saved quite a few important figures!

Did a mere Zhao Family really think they could dominate Fujian Province?

Bai Wanqing smiled sweetly: "Elder Zhang, you exaggerate. Ye Chen would certainly be grateful to know you are defending him so strongly."

"No need for gratitude," Zhang Sansheng said sternly. "I simply don't wish to see a pearl covered in dust, nor will I tolerate scoundrels causing trouble."

After speaking, he said no more, turning and walking toward the Red Flag Car.

Zhang Wuji hurriedly nodded to Bai Wanqing, quickly followed, and opened the car door for his grandfather.

The car started and slowly drove away.

Bai Wanqing stood alone beneath the portico, watching the retreating car shadow, a meaningful curve forming on her lips.

"Ye Chen..."

"I wonder if you'll like this gift?"
