Li Huicai led the two of them doubtfully to a luxurious bedroom on the second floor. The bedroom was filled with various instruments and medical equipment, like a small private hospital.
In the bedroom, an old man with wrinkles on his face and white hair and beard was lying quietly on the bed, his body stiff. It was obvious that he had been in a coma for some time.
Li Tianli couldn't bear to see his elder brother suffer so much. He said in a trembling voice, "Brother, you've suffered so much these days. I've found a miracle doctor for you. I believe he can cure you."
Li Huicai said anxiously, "Doctor Long, please treat my father as soon as possible. If it is effective, my Li family will reward you handsomely."
Long Yi walked to Mr. Li's bedside and just started taking his pulse when someone outside the ward door shouted to stop him: "Stop! Don't touch my grandfather!"
He raised his head following the sound and met the girl's eyes at the door. They both asked in surprise, "It's you?"
The girl who spoke out to stop them was none other than Li Yining, who had taken Long Yi to the special police brigade the day before yesterday.
Li Yining was wearing casual clothes today. Her face without makeup was stunning enough. The loose short-sleeved shirt could not cover the fullness of her chest, and the tight yoga pants outlined the perfect lines of her legs.
"Long Yi? What a coincidence, you can also cure diseases?" Li Yining asked in surprise.
She had just received a call from the housekeeper saying that a young man in his early twenties was coming to treat her grandfather. She was so scared that she rushed home with the doctor she had just hired.
But I didn’t expect that the young man the butler was talking about was actually Long Yi!
Long Yi greeted him symbolically, "I know a little bit about medicine, and Patriarch Li asked me to treat your grandfather."
Li Huicai stepped forward and said, "Yining, this Doctor Long was invited back by your second grandfather. He said his medical skills are far superior to his."
"But... he is very good at killing people, but if we want to save grandpa, it would be more reliable to ask an expert." Li Yining said suspiciously.
She was still frightened by the scene the night before where Long Yi used a silver needle to kill Gundaorou. Killing someone with a silver needle is different from saving someone.
As soon as Li Yining finished saying the word "expert", a well-dressed man walked in from outside the door. He was about thirty years old, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and looked like a scholar.
"Who is this?" Li Huicai asked.
"Dad, this is Huang Kaixuan, a senior whom I met in college. He is now a doctor at a top foreign medical school, specializing in orthopedics. Grandpa's leg disease can be cured." Li Yining said happily.
After Li Yining finished her introduction, Huang Kaixuan nodded complacently and added, "Hello uncle, I am currently a special consultant in the Department of Orthopedics at Beijing First Hospital. Because I usually do medical research abroad, I rarely return to China.
This time, I flew back from abroad because I heard that Yining's grandfather had a serious leg disease." After he finished speaking, he leaned towards Li Yining calmly.
When Li Huicai heard that the other party was an orthopedic expert who studied abroad, he was filled with respect and hurried forward to shake hands. "Doctor Huang, you have worked so hard. I am sure you will pay a lot for my father's illness."
"Uncle, you are being too formal. Given the relationship between Yining and me, why should I ask for any medical fees?" Huang Kaixuan looked at Li Yining with burning eyes.
Li Yining frowned. She and Huang Kaixuan were just simple acquaintances. She didn't understand why Huang Kaixuan was so enthusiastic, but she couldn't care less about that because of her grandfather's illness.
Huang Kaixuan saw Long Yi's unhappy expression beside the hospital bed and said sarcastically, "Does anyone still take a patient's pulse before seeing them these days? Don't let the pulse show that you're pregnant and then tell everyone that the seriously ill old man is pregnant. That's ridiculous!"
The reason why he targeted Long Yi was, on the one hand, that he looked down on Chinese medicine from the bottom of his heart, and more importantly, this quack doctor actually knew Li Yining, which made him extremely unhappy.
After hearing this, Long Yi's face instantly turned gloomy. It's okay that you like Li Yining to show off in front of others, but Chinese medicine has been passed down for thousands of years, and you even don't hesitate to slander the culture passed down by your ancestors just to show off.
Li Tianli, who was standing aside, was so angry that his beard was shaking, and he snorted coldly in extreme indignation.
Huang Kaixuan waved at the door, and several medical assistants outside came in one after another carrying complex and sophisticated testing instruments.
"I'm going to start diagnosing Mr. Li. Please clear out the irrelevant personnel first." Huang Kaixuan glanced at Long Yi disdainfully, and his meaning was obvious.
Li Huicai said to Long Yi somewhat awkwardly: "Mr. Long, why don't you go to the side and rest for a while, I'll ask the servants to serve you tea."
Although these words were polite, the implicit meaning was that Long Yi should get out of the way quickly so as not to affect Dr. Huang's professional diagnosis.
Li Yining looked at Long Yi apologetically. Although they were friends, she couldn't joke about her grandfather's life.
Long Yi was not annoyed at all, and said calmly: "There is no need to watch the tea. Since someone is treating Mr. Li, I will take my leave first."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Li Tianli.
"Young friend Long, please stay. I've consulted countless Western doctors before, but none of them could cure my eldest brother's illness. I think Huang Kaixuan is just a useless person, so I'll need you to take action in the end."
Because of his elder brother's leg disease, Li Tianli did not hesitate to lose face and ask Long Yi, a younger generation, for help.
Long Yi said, "Let's make an appointment another day. I, Long Yi, have never begged anyone to treat my illness in my life."
"My dear friend Long, the other party looks down on traditional Chinese medicine so much. If you just leave like this, he will definitely think you are guilty. When Western medicine fails later, we traditional Chinese medicine practitioners will have to step in." Li Tianli persuaded earnestly.
These words touched Long Yi's heart. Nowadays, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department in major hospitals seemed to have become a dispensable department. People's recognition of Western medicine is much higher than that of Traditional Chinese Medicine. What's more, Huang Kaixuan insulted Traditional Chinese Medicine in front of him. It would be unacceptable for him to remain indifferent.
Aren't you, Huang Kaixuan, trying to woo Li Yining? Aren't you an orthopedic specialist who studied abroad? Well, I'll see how capable you are today. How dare you be so arrogant?
Long Yi and Li Tianli sat aside, watching coldly as Huang Kaixuan began to treat the old man.
The doctor's assistants methodically inserted various instruments into Mr. Li's body, began a comprehensive examination, and finally summarized all the report sheets for Huang Kaixuan.
Huang Kaixuan looked at the report sheets in his hand, his expression becoming more and more serious, and he sighed heavily when he saw the last one.
Li Yining had a bad feeling in her heart and asked anxiously, "Doctor Huang, what does the diagnosis show about my grandfather's condition?"
Huang Kaixuan shook his head and said after a while, "The old man's leg disease is not caused by overwork as you said, but paralysis caused by spinal vascular malformation.
"The nerve cells have been irreversibly damaged, and he's expected to die from organ failure in six months." He sighed heavily.
