Chapter 126: Xiao Chen—The Look of a Defeated General

---

"Damn! He's still so confident!"

"How can this doctor be so skilled?"

"Could he be a renowned expert?"

Everyone was stunned once again.

Xiao Chen and Ye Xingchen locked eyes, sparks flying between them.

Xiao Chen spoke first. "I'll go first! You're covered in bruises—your injuries are more severe. You won't be looking good for a while!"

Ye Xingchen retorted, "You're admitting that I'm critically injured, right? Shouldn't I be treated first, then?"

Xiao Chen scoffed. "You're a martial artist. Shouldn't you be able to endure pain?"

Ye Xingchen smirked. "And aren't martial artists supposed to be fearless? Afraid of a little pain?"

The two began bickering.

Initially, deciding who went first was a minor issue. But since both of them were under Lin Beifan, neither wanted to back down. Their rivalry intensified as they scrambled to be treated first.

In the end, Doctor Wang Siquan decided to treat Xiao Chen first since his injuries were comparatively less severe.

Even without looking at the diagnosis report, he had already deduced the overall condition.

"Three of your ribs are broken. Judging by the fractures, they were likely caused by a heavy object pressing down on you. There are also secondary injuries, which is why your recovery has been slow," Wang Siquan explained.

Even Xiao Chen had to admit his old rival's medical skills were impressive.

"Doctor Wang, what do you think is the best treatment plan?"

"Your ribs are already stabilized and have started healing, so there's no need for realignment. My proposed treatment involves external application of our Yaowang Hospital's special ointment, combined with massage therapy to aid absorption..."

As Wang Siquan continued explaining, Xiao Chen suddenly interrupted.

"Doctor Wang, I believe acupuncture could be used at this stage. Stimulating points like Yongquan and Yintang would enhance blood circulation and accelerate bone healing."

Wang Siquan frowned. "Are you the doctor, or am I?"

Xiao Chen sneered. "Of course, you are."

"Then do as I say." Wang Siquan's tone was firm.

Xiao Chen lowered his head, but inwardly, he scoffed, "What's the look of a defeated general? If I weren't injured, would I even need you to flaunt your skills?"

"Just wait! Once I recover, I'll make you understand true medical prowess!"

With that, Wang Siquan changed Xiao Chen's medication and performed a brief massage.

"After applying our Ziyu Paste, you'll need regular massages from the nurse, just like the one I did now. In about a month and a half, you'll fully recover!" Wang Siquan declared proudly.

A standard injury like this would typically take three months to heal. Shortening the recovery period by half was an impressive feat.

However, Xiao Chen was dissatisfied. "A month and a half is too long! I've heard that Yaowang Hospital has miraculous treatments—some ailments are cured in a matter of days! But now, it seems your reputation is exaggerated."

Wang Siquan adjusted his glasses, remaining calm. "We do have a method that can heal you within half a month."

"But effective treatment comes at a cost. If you want to recover faster, you'll need our hospital's exclusive secret formula. It's made from over a hundred wild medicinal ingredients—some of which are nearly extinct. Can you afford it?"

Xiao Chen frowned. "How much?"

"3 million yuan."

Xiao Chen's breath hitched.

Since coming down from the mountain, he had focused solely on seeking revenge against Lin Beifan. That plan had failed, leaving him hospitalized with no chance to make money. His meals were all prepaid by Lin Beifan.

Now, he couldn't even afford his medical expenses.

"Can I owe the payment and settle it later? Once I recover—"

Wang Siquan cut him off impatiently. "I've been a doctor for years, and I've heard this line too many times. Patients always promise to pay later, but once they're healed, they vanish—leaving us with the losses."

He waved his hand dismissively. "Consider yourself lucky I'm giving you Ziyu Paste for free. Don't push your luck."

At that moment, Ye Xingchen smirked and pulled out a bank card. "Doctor, I have tens of millions on this card. Give me the best medicine and the fastest treatment!"

Wang Siquan's demeanor instantly changed. "Of course, Mr. Ye!" A smile spread across his face.

Their Yaowang Hospital loved wealthy patients the most.

Xiao Chen clenched his fists in frustration.

A genius doctor like him—reduced to this humiliation?

In his past life, he had suffered setbacks at Lin Beifan's hands.

Thinking of Lin Beifan…

He hesitated, then looked at him and pleaded, "Mr. Lin, could you lend me 3 million yuan? Don't worry, I'll pay you back as soon as I recover!"

Lin Beifan smiled. "Of course! We're brothers, aren't we?"

Xiao Chen was overjoyed. "Thank you!"

For a moment, he felt genuinely touched.

Lin Beifan had no obligation to help him, yet he did—covering his expenses and looking after him.

Such kindness… wasn't that what made a great man?

To be honest, if the roles were reversed, Xiao Chen wouldn't have done the same. Even brothers weren't always this generous.

For a fleeting second, he thought—

"If only we weren't enemies."

Then he shook his head, snapping himself out of it.

"I can't let myself waver! Lin Beifan is my enemy—he has been for two lifetimes! I won't forget that just because of a small favor!"

"I'll repay his money tenfold!"

"And as for the debt he owes me… I'll make him pay back tenfold as well!"

With Lin Beifan's financial support, Wang Siquan used the best medicine on Xiao Chen.

"The medication is applied. In half a month, you should be fully recovered."

"But be careful—not to reinjure yourself. If your rib breaks again, the treatment will have to be repeated, and the effectiveness will be significantly reduced."

Xiao Chen was thrilled.

The moment the medicine was applied, he could feel the effects.

The pain in his chest eased significantly, and his movements became smoother.

"If I combine this with my Guigu Shenzhen technique, I can speed up my recovery by another 50%!"

"That means I'll be back to normal in just one week!"

"Hahaha!"

For the first time, he found his old rival Wang Siquan somewhat… endearing.

Wang Siquan, however, remained composed. "No need to thank me. I'm just doing my duty as a doctor."

Under the watchful eyes of the public, Wang Siquan continued treating patients, showcasing his extraordinary medical expertise.

The doctors in Mohai City were in awe.

"To be so skilled at such a young age… truly terrifying!"

"The future of the medical world belongs to him!"

However, at that moment, Wang Siquan said something shocking.

"Honestly, I came here hoping to meet a master and learn something new. But after seeing the doctors in Mohai City… I'm disappointed."

His words sent shockwaves through the crowd.
