143: Chapter 143 The True Lineage

"Huh?" Brother Chao looked somewhat bewildered.

The Young Doctor pulled out a pair of gloves and put them on. Seeing Brother Chao still standing there blankly, he urged, "Why are you just standing there? Go over there and take off your pants. I need to perform a physical examination."

"Oh~" Brother Chao looked at Chen Sheng. Feeling Brother Chao's gaze, Chen Sheng said speechlessly, "You aren't thinking of asking me to go out first, are you?"

Brother Chao nodded hurriedly and said, "Exactly!"

"Then handle it yourself; I won't come in." Chen Sheng waved his hand dismissively. "We're both grown men, what are you shy about? It's just a bit small in size, and it's not like I'm the one using it. I don't mind."

Brother Chao couldn't help but roll his eyes, muttering to himself, "It's precisely because it's small that I want you to go out."

However, since Chen Sheng had already said it and blocked off all escape routes, what else could he say?

Besides, he truly couldn't handle it alone. When the doctor announced the verdict later, he couldn't guarantee he'd still be able to stand, so he definitely needed Chen Sheng present. Seeing that Chen Sheng was clearly intent on watching the show, Brother Chao gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, and walked over to the separate examination room within the clinic. He immediately pulled the curtain shut a bit, hoping to block Chen Sheng's view.

But that couldn't stop Chen Sheng. He followed the Young Doctor directly into the examination room and watched as Brother Chao took off his pants. The Young Doctor, wearing gloves, accurately grabbed Comrade Xiao Chao...

Chen Sheng stood behind the doctor, resting his chin on his hand, and couldn't help but purse his lips and click his tongue twice.

The size was indeed a bit of a disadvantage; no wonder he frequented various foot massage parlors.

After all, they not only didn't mind, but would even praise him, saying he was so fierce and amazing.

After the doctor finished playing with... pfft, examining him, the doctor returned to his seat in silence. Without saying a word, he picked up his phone and began tapping away rapidly.

This scene really frightened Brother Chao. He swallowed hard and asked hesitantly, "Doctor, my illness isn't very serious, is it?"

Chen Sheng's heart also skipped a beat. He looked at Brother Chao with a mix of sympathy and pity in his eyes.

Although it was hard to judge, Brother Chao was truly a great friend. For such a person to have such an illness, and for the future...

"Sigh~" Chen Sheng couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"Wait, Old Chen, why are you sighing? Nothing has happened to me yet, the doctor hasn't even said anything."

Brother Chao was getting anxious.

How could he not be anxious?

At this moment, the two men's expressions made it seem as if a verdict had already been delivered, silently saying, "You should accept your fate."

But he didn't want to accept his fate.

He wasn't even thirty yet; he still had his prime years ahead of him. He had elderly parents, he...

"Waaah~" Brother Chao couldn't help but burst into tears.

He really still had so many unfulfilled wishes.

However, just as Brother Chao was about to wail aloud to vent his fear and confusion regarding the unknown, the doctor frowned and stopped him. "Stop wailing for a moment, let me think."

Brother Chao immediately silenced himself, even deliberately lowering the sound of his breathing, as if afraid of disturbing the doctor's thoughts, only to hear a long sigh: "Sigh~"

How desperate he must have been at that moment.

However, come to think of it, this matter was indeed terrifying.

After waiting for about five minutes, the doctor made a phone call, spoke a few words in a low voice, and hung up. As for what exactly was said, although there were only three people in the clinic, both Brother Chao and Chen Sheng were immersed in their own worlds and didn't pay attention to it.

About ten minutes later, the door to the clinic was pushed open from the outside, and a Middle-aged Doctor wearing a white coat walked in with big strides.

Seeing the newcomer, the Young Doctor who had been deep in thought jumped up immediately and said excitedly, "Teacher, you've finally arrived. Please, help me take a look at this person."

Chen Sheng: "..."

So this is essentially calling for backup, right?

Brother Chao: "..."

It seems I really am quite ill... No, I'm already terminally ill.

At the scene, the two doctors ignored Chen Sheng and Brother Chao, who had once again fallen into wild speculation. After listening to the Young Doctor's description, the Middle-aged Doctor first looked at the various examination reports, then directed Brother Chao to the examination room to thoroughly play with... Comrade Xiao Chao.

This time, the audience wasn't just Chen Sheng; the Young Doctor even acted like a tour guide, repeating the previous examination situation while the Middle-aged Doctor was examining him.

As the person involved, Brother Chao could only say that he was so embarrassed right now he wanted to tuck his head into his clothes.

The physical examination was completed quickly. The Middle-aged Doctor picked up the examination report again, stroked his chin in thought for a long time, and then shook his head repeatedly, saying, "This is truly strange."

Beside him, Brother Chao, whose face had lost all color, opened his mouth repeatedly but ultimately couldn't utter a single word.

At this moment, the Middle-aged Doctor took out his phone, tapped away rapidly, then naturally slid the phone back into his white coat, and fell into silence again while staring at the examination report.

At this point, Brother Chao finally mustered up the courage and asked in a hoarse, tearful voice, "Doctor, am I already beyond saving?"

At this moment, he was wondering where he would be buried after he died.

Should he also learn from TV and write a last will and testament?

But looking back on his short life of just over twenty years...

He really didn't know how to write it, or even how to start.

Should he first review his not-so-brilliant life?

Or should he urge his parents not to be sad, and since technology is advanced now, see if they can have another one?

They say raising children is for old age...

But...

"Waaah~" As he thought about it, Brother Chao began to sob again.

He didn't want to die; he hadn't lived enough yet.

But...

Is there really any hope?

How much would the treatment cost?

Perhaps it's better not to treat it.

After another agonizing wait in silence, the clinic door was pushed open again. This time, a large crowd of people, both men and women, walked in. Leading them was an old man. Seeing the old man, the two doctors already in the clinic greeted him hurriedly:

"Teacher!"

"Grand-teacher!"

Chen Sheng: "What a true inheritance!"

To this, Chen Sheng could only give a "6".

It's amazing.

At the scene, seeing the old man enter, Brother Chao acted as if he had seen a savior. He immediately grabbed the old man's hand and cried out, "Doctor, you must save me! I have an eighty-year-old grandmother, I have parents, I, I, I haven't even gotten married yet! I can't die, and I don't want to die."

Brother Chao, nearly thirty, was crying like a child.

"Young man, don't cry yet. Allow me to understand the situation first."

The old man patted Brother Chao's hand, took the examination report from the Middle-aged Doctor, and listened to the Young Doctor's report while looking at the document.

After listening to the report and reviewing the examination sheet, the old man said to Brother Chao, "Young man, don't be anxious. Your condition isn't serious. Let me take a look at the specifics."

Thus, Brother Chao was invited into the examination room once again.

And this time, there were many more spectators. The men and women who came in with the old man directly surrounded Brother Chao in a circle, each holding their breath and waiting for the old man to play with... pfft, examine Comrade Xiao Chao.

"Tsk tsk~" Chen Sheng couldn't help but shake his head at this scene.

He didn't know what his mood was at this moment.

There was pity for his friend, but also a strange urge to laugh; in short, it was very complicated.

As for Brother Chao?

Having been pale, he turned as red as a cooked shrimp, even purplish, after being surrounded by a group of men and women.

He was probably so embarrassed he was digging a hole in the floor with his toes.

However, compared to his life, embarrassment didn't matter. So, even though Brother Chao was very embarrassed, he still puffed out his chest and held his head high, trying his best to push Comrade Xiao Chao forward so the old man could see it more clearly.

The old man lived up to the trust; he not only looked carefully but explained even more carefully.

That's right! The old man was treating Brother Chao as a cadaver and Comrade Xiao Chao as a living specimen, giving that group of men and women a vivid and lively experimental lesson.

It must be said, this group of people listened quite attentively. Chen Sheng even saw many of them pull out little notebooks to take notes.

With this attitude, they would likely be excellent doctors in the future.

However, Chen Sheng was very curious about what these people were writing down.

So he quietly snuck behind a female doctor to take a look.

However, with just one glance, he had to admit that these people would definitely be excellent doctors in the future.

In just a short while, they had written half a page of notes... Uh! There was even an illustration drawn on the side.

It's just that the illustration was too realistic.

Tsk tsk~ At first glance, he almost couldn't find where Comrade Xiao Chao was.

Ten minutes later, the old man finished his explanation, signaled to Brother Chao that he could pull up his pants, and said to the Young Doctor, "Bring the report to me again."

Hearing this, the Young Doctor hurriedly handed the report to the old man with both hands.

The old man took the report and looked at it again and again, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper. After five minutes, the old man shook his head and sighed, "This shouldn't be! This is truly strange."
