Seeing Zhang Shi’s expression, Chen Yi didn’t try to play any tricks on him. Instead, he said grandly, “I am Chen Yi. We have contacted each other previously.”
After which, he smiled.
However, Zhang Shi was somewhat taken aback by his words.
The person in front of him was Doctor Chen from before? This… was a huge difference. After all, from Chen Yi’s tone just now, it seemed like he was referring to himself as a ‘famous doctor’!
As everyone knew, the older a doctor was, the stronger and more experienced he was, and the more extraordinary his abilities would be. After all, this wasn’t any other profession.
Furthermore, in the field of medicine, other than dentists and the like, doctors with high standing were usually older than others. One’s experience was also very important to a doctor, and it was no less important than knowledge itself.
Thus, Zhang Shi believed that Doctor Chen would be someone around his age or even older.
However, Chen Yi was right in front of him right now, and he was still a young man in his early twenties! This surprised Zhang Shi.
This young man looked quite sunny and had a good figure. The muscles on his arms and legs were perfect and powerful. No matter how one looked at it, he was either a sports student or a graduate of the police academy. He did not look like he had anything to do with doctors.
Furthermore, his clothes were a little shabby… he looked like a poor graduate student.
After all, being a doctor in the medical profession required some form of ability. Even if he wasn’t rich, he shouldn’t look like a jobless student.
Thus, when Zhang Shi looked at Chen Yi, he was shocked. He even thought that he might be hallucinating!
After two to three seconds, he asked doubtfully, “Are you really Chen Yi, Doctor Chen?”
Chen Yi nodded, “Yes, it’s true. Did I scare you, Mr. Zhang?”
“Haha,” Zhang Shi laughed dryly. With a displeased expression, he frowned, “Indeed, it’s far from what I expected. I just didn’t expect you to be so young. Are you preparing for an internship? May I know which medical school did you graduate from?”
Zhang Shi calmed himself down. Perhaps, there were some geniuses in the medical school, and even interns couldn’t be underestimated.
However, Chen Yi’s reply nearly caused him to vomit blood on the spot.
“Ah… I’m not from medical school, so I did not study medicine. I majored in engineering at my university,” Chen Yi said.
Zhang Shi was taken aback. “Then… Doctor Chen’s family has a medical background? Is that why you chose another major?”
“No, I’m an orphan. How can an orphanage pass down medical skills from generation to generation? You’re quite humorous, Mr. Zhang,” Chen Yi continued.
Zhang Shi felt that he was about to lose control of his emotions. He raised his eyebrows and glared at Chen Yi, “I’m not that humorous. I just wanted to ask about Doctor…”
After a long while, he was unable to continue his words.
“Oh, I learned my medical skills by myself. I guess I didn’t find it challenging in university, so I casually picked a major and learned a thing or two,” Chen Yi smiled plainly.
What learning a thing or two! Zhang Shi’s heart skipped a beat! Bullsh*t, what kind of son of a b*tch is this?!
Fortunately, Zhang Shi managed to maintain his composure, “Then, Mr. Chen… does that mean that you are a quack?”
“How can that be!” Chen Yi’s words caused the man in front of him to heave a sigh of relief. As long as he wasn’t a quack!
Following this, he said calmly, “Even a quack is better than me, right? At the very least, he managed to obtain a certificate, but I am a doctor without a certificate.”
Hearing Chen Yi’s straightforward reply, Zhang Shi felt as though he had been cheated. He had heard of people with unknown backgrounds before. But this was the first time he had heard of a doctor like this! How strange! He was about to get hypertension now!
A fool who had never studied medicine, had never come into contact with medicine before and didn’t even have a fake certificate, was calling him with such confidence?
Either Chen Yi was mentally ill, or there was something wrong with his brain!
Chen Yi saw that Zhang Shi’s complexion was getting worse. There was even a faint hint of anger, as though he wanted to beat Chen Yi up. Chen Yi didn’t really care, he smiled and said, “Mr. Zhang, do you really care so much about whether one possesses those things? It’s just like how a person who has passed the Grade 10 piano examination might not necessarily be better than a person who hasn’t passed the examination. Sometimes, these are just formalities. If it is too serious, it would be too uninteresting. Besides… You have also gone to those so-called famous doctors to have a look, but your daughter doesn’t seem to be cured.”
“As for me, even though I’m not a proper doctor, I’m definitely not a quack who would harm someone’s life. Since I claimed that I can cure her, I will definitely do so. Mr. Zhang, you just need to believe in me.”
Hearing Chen Yi’s eloquent words, Zhang Shi chuckled, “You’re right, but how can I believe in you?”
Chen Yi pretended to think. After which, he said, “I can understand, Mr. Zhang. You think that I’m a liar, or you have some misunderstanding about my abilities, or you think that I’ve played you. That’s fine. However, since I’m here, let me take a look at the patient first. If it doesn’t work out, you can call the police to arrest me, or you can let me die.”
He spoke nonchalantly, but Zhang Shi listened with a heavy heart.
This… This young man was gambling with his life? Furthermore, his expression was calm, and his every movement was filled with confidence. Perhaps he should trust him this once?
Zhang Shi pondered for a long time before reluctantly saying, “Alright, might as well take a look since you’re here. However… remember what you said just now!”
“Of course,” Chen Yi narrowed his eyes and smiled.
“Please follow me…”
…
He followed Zhang Shi into the villa area. The two of them turned around and arrived at Zhang Shi’s house.
When they entered, there was a woman standing at the entrance. She was around thirty-two years old and compared to Zhang Shi, she was much younger.
Seeing that the two of them had returned, the woman hurriedly approached them and asked, “Hubby, did you receive Doctor Chen?”
Clearly, the woman didn’t think that the young man before her was that doctor.
Zhang Shi took a deep breath before calmly introducing, “This is him. Chen Yi, Doctor Chen!”
Hearing those words, the woman turned to look at Chen Yi. A moment later, her expression stiffened, and the smile on her face disappeared. It was as though the heavens had played a joke on her.
The woman’s eyes were filled with disbelief. This was Doctor Chen? How old was this child?
Hearing Zhang Shi’s words, she lowered her voice. There was neither anger nor sorrow in her voice, she was trying to restrain herself, “No, hubby, you must be joking with me. How can this child be? Does he really know how to treat patients?”
Mrs. Zhang’s suspicion was Zhang Shi’s suspicion as well. But what choice did they have? Even if Chen Yi was a completely useless doctor and was worse than a quack, what choice did they have?
If they had a choice, Zhang Shi would have beaten Chen Yi up a long time ago! Was there a need for them to be tricked into such a state? It was because they didn’t have a choice that they allowed Chen Yi to come and take a look!
“Alright, that’s enough. Let him take a look first,” Zhang Shi replied in a low voice. Chen Yi had actually heard everything clearly, but his expression did not change.
Out of courtesy, Mrs. Zhang put on a fake smile and said, “Alright, Doctor Chen, follow me.”
Thus, the couple brought him to their daughter’s room and invited him to take a look.
This bedroom was on the second floor of the house. Opening the door, he saw a six or seven-year-old little girl lying on the big bed opposite him.
Chen Yi could not help but frown when he saw her from afar.
“Tsk tsk….”
