Alert! Miracle doctor released from prison
Chapter 149 Moral Blackmail
Zhou Jingxing looked disappointed upon hearing this.
The other doctors also felt a pang of regret.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; it would be a real shame to miss it.
But some people are still unwilling to give up.
An elderly traditional Chinese medicine doctor, around fifty years old with small eyes, said in a deep voice:
"Dr. Chen, traditional Chinese medicine is declining now. You possess unparalleled medical skills. You should revitalize traditional Chinese medicine. How can you keep your skills to yourself? Young people should have a broader perspective. Share them and do your part for the development of traditional Chinese medicine."
Chen Huo chuckled upon hearing this:
"Are you trying to morally blackmail me?"
Chen Huo was so angry he laughed.
Why should I teach others the skills I've worked so hard to learn?
"Revitalizing traditional Chinese medicine" sounds nice.
Even if Chen Huo had this idea, it was not something that ordinary Chinese medicine practitioners could participate in. His methods required internal energy to activate, and with their old bones, it was impossible for them to learn them.
That's why he said before that he couldn't learn it.
The small-eyed TCM doctor's expression darkened slightly upon hearing this.
"Dr. Chen, how can this be considered moral blackmail? I'm doing this with all my heart for the development of traditional Chinese medicine, which is our national treasure. Don't you want to promote and carry it forward?"
Several people wanted to learn Chen Huo's skills and chimed in with their opinions.
"Yes, how can you call it moral blackmail?"
"Revitalizing traditional Chinese medicine is a truly great thing that will be remembered for generations to come!"
"If you share this, you will surely be praised by future generations!"
"..."
Chen Huo originally didn't want to pay any attention to them.
But seeing them getting more and more excited as they talked, I felt a surge of anger.
"Why should I share this so you can revitalize Traditional Chinese Medicine? Can't I find someone else? I just don't like you bunch of old fogies, is there a problem with not wanting to share with you?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuanshan rubbed his forehead, thinking to himself that Chen Huo was too blunt. Couldn't he have been a little more tactful? Did he have to offend people? How could someone with this kind of way of dealing with people achieve anything great?
This temperament needs to be tempered and refined.
Those who had attempted to morally blackmail him flew into a rage upon hearing this, accusing Chen Huo of disrespecting his elders. Chen Huo retorted without hesitation, "Only those with virtue can be called elders. Do you even deserve that title?"
"You're not a human being! You're not a human being at all!"
One of the old Chinese medicine doctors was so angry that he blurted out such words. Upon hearing this, Chen Huo's face darkened, and he appeared in front of him in a flash, raising his hand to slap him across the face!
Snapped!
As the crisp sound faded, a clear handprint was left on the old Chinese medicine doctor's face.
The old Chinese medicine doctor was stunned by the beating.
He covered his face, saying incredulously, "You actually dared to hit me?"
"Hit you?" Chen Huo said coldly. "What if I kill you? You, and all of you, had better know your place, or don't blame me for being ruthless."
Upon hearing this, the few people who had attempted to morally blackmail him fell silent.
Only then did they realize that Chen Huo was not only a young medical genius, but also a member of the Chen family, a top family in the capital. Even if they killed them, nothing would happen to them.
Chen Yuanshan had been observing and testing Chen Huo for a long time and had gained a deeper understanding of Chen Huo's character and style of doing things. There was no need to continue now.
He stepped forward and said coldly:
"Gentlemen, Chen Huo is a member of the Chen family, a direct descendant of the Chen family. He can teach you his skills if he wants to, or he can choose not to. No one can coerce him."
This can be considered a statement made on behalf of the Chen family.
The traditional Chinese medicine doctor who had been slapped felt a pang of anxiety upon hearing this and quickly bowed to Chen Huo in apology.
"Dr. Chen, I was wrong. I admit I was tempted by greed and shouldn't have morally blackmailed you. Please forgive me!"
The others also apologized upon seeing this.
Chen Huo ignored them and said calmly:
"Patriarch of the Chen family, I must correct you on one point: I am not a member of the Chen family, nor am I a direct descendant of the Chen family. Although my surname is Chen, I have no connection with the Chen family in the capital."
"You...you..."
Chen Yuanshan was so angry that he couldn't speak.
He thought that by standing up for Chen Huo, even if Chen Huo wasn't grateful, he would at least develop some goodwill towards him. However, he never expected that Chen Huo would embarrass him in public.
If this gets out, it will definitely become a laughing stock among the powerful and wealthy circles in Beijing.
He was, after all, a cunning old fox, and swallowed his rebuke, instead laughing out loud:
"I'm sorry to have made you all laugh. I had a minor disagreement with Chen Huo. Young people are often hot-blooded, which is understandable. After all, we're still family."
Everyone present was a shrewd old fox; how could they not see that Chen Yuanshan was trying to smooth things over?
But given the Chen family's power, no one dared to point it out; they could only smile obsequiously and say whatever sounded good.
Chen Huo had no patience for these people's charade and coldly said, "Patriarch Chen, I have cured the illness. Where is he?"
His constant references to the Chen family patriarch displeased Chen Yuanshan.
But not wanting to cause a scene in front of so many people, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, the person has already been sent to the courtyard where you live. You'll be reunited with your family when you get back."
"Okay, let's go back then."
Upon hearing this, Chen Huo turned and left.
He didn't want to stay in this godforsaken place for even a quarter of an hour.
After meeting Jiang Aiwei, he took her back to Jiangcheng.
Just then, Zhao Yuechun came out.
"Nephew Chen Huo, please wait!"
"What's up?"
Chen Huo stopped and asked.
Seeing that Chen Huo showed him, the head of the Zhao family, no respect whatsoever, Zhao Yuechun was inevitably annoyed. However, since Chen Huo had saved his father, he politely said:
"The Divine Physician Yama truly lives up to his reputation. My father was saved today entirely thanks to you, my nephew. I have already ordered a banquet to express my gratitude, and I cordially invite the Chen family head and your nephew Chen to attend."
Chen Huo waved his hand and said calmly, "It is a doctor's duty to treat the sick and save lives, so there's no need for a thank-you banquet."
After saying that, he walked towards the parking area in the distance.
The people present looked at each other in surprise, secretly astonished that Chen Huo would show such disrespect to the Zhao family head. They knew that there were very few people in the entire Dragon Kingdom who were qualified to have him host a thank-you banquet.
Chen Huo was completely indifferent to something that so many people longed for.
Chen Yuanshan's expression was rather unpleasant.
Chen Huo's style of dealing with people and things was far removed from what he wanted.
The most important thing is that they didn't give him, the head of the Chen family, any face.
Zhao Yuechun watched Chen Huo's departing figure, a half-smile on his face, and said:
"Old Chen, your nephew Chen is truly upright and honest. With such a talented person helping you, the Chen family is bound to prosper. You're really lucky."
Chen Yuanshan snorted and said:
"You should worry more about your own family. Someone even dared to poison the old man; think how badly your family has been infiltrated!"
After saying that, he walked away.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuechun's face darkened, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Chen Yuanshan's words struck a nerve.
The Zhao family, which he thought was impregnable, had actually suffered such a thing. If Chen Huo hadn't pointed out that he was still in the dark, even the old man wouldn't know who was harming him.
