As a leading figure in traditional Chinese medicine, Liang Zhenxing was sought after by a constant stream of high-ranking officials and dignitaries.
They also frequently encounter situations where they are coerced or pinned against a wall.
For example, right now, everyone in the huge consultation room has been kicked out, leaving only a father and son, who are looking at him with their eyes slightly narrowed.
"Liang Taidou, it's really not easy to see you!" the middle-aged man said meaningfully.
His name is Liu Hongtao, a well-known big boss in the southern part of Harbin. His family is also in the pharmaceutical business and is said to have connections with Harbin Pharmaceutical Factory No. 6. His background is exceptionally deep.
However, Liang Zhenxing was not fond of this person because the Liu family's pharmaceutical factory had been rumored to be selling counterfeit medicine. Liang Zhenxing hated those who cheated and harmed the people all his life, so when the other party asked him to treat his son Liu Peng, Liang Zhenxing ignored him and refused to see him.
Now Liu Hongtao had no choice but to resort to force, running over to see Liang Zhenxing and insisting that he get medical treatment for his son.
Liang Zhenxing glanced at Liu Hongtao and said, "Mr. Liu is a respectable man. With the strength of your Liu family, what kind of miracle doctor can't you find? Why waste your time on this old man? You're overestimating me!"
"Old man, stop trying to fool me! You even cured the First Lady's cancer, so what are you pretending for? If you don't treat my illness, believe me, I'll get your Liang family removed from Harbin!"
Before Liu Hongtao could speak, Liu Peng roared, looking fierce.
This guy looks like a spoiled rich kid who's used to being arrogant.
Liang Zhenxing's face immediately darkened.
Having practiced medicine for so many years, he has always been highly respected. Now, being forced into this situation and having his family's safety threatened has made him quite angry.
He said with a stern face, "Although I am just a commoner, I have spent my life practicing medicine and have made many friends in Harbin. Does Young Master Liu really think that he can act lawlessly and recklessly to coerce this old man?"
"So what if I'm forcing you? Take it or leave it, let's see if your connections can save you when it really comes down to it!" Liu Peng continued dismissively.
He said arrogantly.
"You!" Liang Zhenxing was so angry that his face turned red.
At this moment, Liu Hongtao spoke up with a smile, "Master Liang, my son is young and ignorant, why bother arguing with a junior like me! I know you may have heard some rumors, which is why you don't want to treat my son, but as a doctor, shouldn't you treat all patients equally?"
"If you treat even patients differently, wouldn't that damage your reputation if word got out?"
Liu Hongtao smiled and continued, "Recently, our Liu family has partnered with a TV station to do medical interviews, specifically evaluating these famous doctors in Harbin. When the program airs, I've reserved the center position for you. Of course, our program will also criticize some unscrupulous doctors so that the public will know!"
There was a hint of threat in Liu Hongtao's words.
Liang Zhenxing understood, and immediately felt a surge of hatred.
The guy was implying that if he didn't get treatment for his son, the other party would ruin his reputation through some lousy program.
He knew all too well about those unscrupulous media outlets; ruining a person was far too easy for them.
Throughout his life as a doctor, his most cherished possession was his reputation. If his reputation were ruined, his lifelong innocence would be lost.
With this in mind, he took a deep breath and said, "Alright, I'll show it to your son!"
Liu Hongtao sneered and then had his son sit down in front of Liang Zhenxing.
Liu Peng snorted and held out his hand to Liang Zhenxing.
Liang Zhenxing remained unmoved, merely observing his expression.
"Hey, old man, what do you mean? Why aren't you taking my pulse? Do you even know how to do it?" Liu Peng said impatiently.
Liang Zhenxing remained silent and continued to observe. After a moment, he finally withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "In traditional Chinese medicine, we emphasize observation, listening, questioning, and palpation. Pulse diagnosis is just the most basic. I don't need to feel your pulse at all to understand your condition perfectly!"
"You're just bragging, old man. I feel like you're trying to fool me," Liu Peng said with a suspicious look.
Liu Hongtao couldn't help but frown, feeling that Liang Zhenxing was deliberately being perfunctory.
Liang Zhenxing wasn't angry. He looked at Liu Peng and said calmly, "If you don't believe me, I can tell you about your illness right now!"
"Judging from your complexion, your cheeks are flushed, you are short of breath and easily angered, and the whites of your eyes are yellow. This is a typical case of liver blood stasis and deficiency, qi and blood stagnation, and obstruction of the liver meridian. You should know that the liver is the mother of the kidneys and the source of essence. If there is a problem with the liver, there will also be a problem with the sperm. So, you came to me for this reason only. You are infertile!" Liang Zhenxing spoke confidently, as if he were stating a truth.
The father and son were completely dumbfounded after hearing this.
"Holy crap! Dad, that old guy's got some skills, he actually guessed right!" Liu Peng couldn't help but mutter.
Liu Hongtao shook his head. This wasn't just a guess; he clearly had real skills. It seems that the name of Liang Taidou is indeed well-deserved!
He couldn't help but exclaim, "Liang Taidou is truly a divine doctor! Since you can diagnose my son's illness, you must have a solution, right? I'm counting on you!"
Liang Zhenxing quickly waved his hand, "Don't say that, I can't cure your son's illness!"
"What?" Upon hearing this, the father and son's expressions changed again.
Liu Peng slammed his fist on the table and stood up. "Old man, are you kidding me? If you dare not treat me, believe me, I'll get the media to write a long article about you right now and ruin your reputation!"
A flash of anger crossed Liang Zhenxing's eyes, but he held it back and said irritably, "Threatening me won't work! If you had come to me a month or two earlier, perhaps I could have helped you! Now, your liver meridian is severely blocked, practically dead, and you have no ability to produce sperm at all. What can I do?"
Hearing this, Liu Hongtao's heart clenched painfully. He knew Liang Zhenxing wasn't lying.
He only has one son. Is he really going to have no male heir?
Liang Zhenxing sighed, shook his head helplessly, and said, "This kind of illness is caused by overexertion. You rich kids are all like this. I've met several already. Today, a rich kid came to see me with the same problem. But he's luckier than you; at least his girlfriend is pregnant, so he has an heir. As for you..."
Liang Zhenxing sighed deeply and continued, "Go back and burn incense and pray to Buddha, release some animals, and perhaps a miracle will happen!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Hongtao clenched his fists tightly, then slowly relaxed them, his face ashen.
If something has deteriorated to the point of praying to gods and Buddhas, then it is probably truly beyond redemption!
