Chapter 9: I want her to stay away from me.
Seeing that Fang Yu didn't say anything, Tang Mingde gave Tang Si, who was standing behind Fang Yu, a look.
Tang Si immediately stepped forward.
"Fourth Uncle! No!" Tang Xiaorou's face turned pale when she saw that Tang Si was about to attack Fang Yu.
Tang Si was an Xiantian Eighth - rank martial artist! Once he made a move, Fang Yu was bound to be severely injured!
"Kid, this is your last chance. Tell me the truth. Who sent you here and what's your purpose?" Tang Mingde frowned and asked.
As a top - tier wealthy family, the Tang family had too many enemies, both in the open and in the dark.
For Tang Mingde, he wanted to expose as many of these enemies as possible. He'd rather make a mistake than let one go.
"I've told the truth, but you don't believe me. What can I do?" Fang Yu spread his hands.
Fang Yu's fearless attitude completely enraged Tang Mingde.
"It seems you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin," Tang Mingde's voice turned completely cold.
Tang Si reached out his hand to grab Fang Yu.
"Stop! Cough…"
At the critical moment, an old voice came from upstairs, accompanied by coughing.
"Grandpa!" Tang Xiaorou exclaimed excitedly when she saw Old Master Tang, who was being pushed in a wheelchair by a servant and appeared at the stairway on the second floor.
"I'm willing to let Young Master Fang Yu treat me," Old Master Tang looked at Tang Mingde and said.
Tang Mingde's face changed. He said anxiously, "Dad, how can you be so reckless about treating your illness? Leaving aside whether this kid has ulterior motives, just looking at his age, he can't possibly be a doctor!"
"Mr. Tang is right, Old Master Tang. Although you're in the advanced stage of lung cancer, you mustn't trust some random people. Doing so is equivalent to giving up your hope of survival… As long as you follow the chemotherapy plan I've made for you and relax, your lifespan can be extended…" Standing beside Old Master Tang was Chen Jingxin, a lung - cancer expert Tang Mingde had invited from Yancheng.
"Dad, Doctor Chen is a professional. You should listen to what he says," Tang Mingde said.
Old Master Tang shook his head. "No matter how professional he is, he can only keep me alive for less than three months. I've witnessed Young Master Fang Yu's abilities with my own eyes. I'm willing to believe in him. Don't stop me anymore."
Tang Mingde wanted to say something, but seeing the resolute look in Old Master Tang's eyes, he swallowed his words.
Old Master Tang's physical condition was already very poor, and they couldn't afford to make him angry.
"Dad, I agree to let Fang Yu examine you, but Doctor Chen and I must be present," Tang Mingde said.
This was his bottom line.
"Young Master Fang Yu, is this… acceptable to you?" Old Master Tang looked at Fang Yu and asked.
"No problem. Let's get it over with as soon as possible," Fang Yu said, stretching and yawning.
His lazy attitude made Tang Mingde and the others very unhappy.
Even Tang Xiaorou began to have doubts in her heart.
He seemed too unreliable.
A few minutes later, Fang Yu went to the study on the second floor where Old Master Tang was.
Fang Yu took a stool and sat in front of Old Master Tang.
Tang Mingde and the others stood aside, less than five meters away.
Moreover, besides Tang Si, Tang Mingde also called up two bodyguards to guard against any sudden attack from Fang Yu.
Fang Yu grabbed Old Master Tang's right wrist to feel his pulse.
Seeing this, Chen Jingxin beside him showed a look of contempt.
Old Master Tang had lung cancer. What was the use of feeling the pulse?
Unfortunately, what Chen Jingxin saw was just the surface.
In fact, during the process of feeling the pulse, Fang Yu had already injected true qi into Old Master Tang's pulse and let the true qi circulate through Old Master Tang's body to detect his physical condition.
Logically speaking, only those at the Foundation - building stage and above could release true qi externally.
But Fang Yu could do it as early as when he was at the 100th level of the Qi - refining stage.
One minute later, Fang Yu withdrew his hand.
"The situation is not good."
Hearing this, Chen Jingxin became even more disdainful.
He had always looked down on traditional Chinese medicine, thinking it was a pseudoscience and that a group of old Taoists were just putting on a show.
And what Fang Yu was doing now just confirmed his view.
Feeling the pulse and then saying with a solemn face that the situation was not good, anyone could act like that!
"Ahem, may I say something… Kid, what exactly did you find? Where is the situation bad? Could you please explain it in detail? I'd like to learn something about your traditional Chinese medicine," Chen Jingxin said sarcastically, his eyes full of contempt.
Tang Xiaorou looked at Fang Yu nervously, afraid that he couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation.
"The cancer cells have spread throughout the body, especially near the spine. The reason why Old Master Tang can't walk is that the spine has been eroded by cancer cells. Moreover, Old Master Tang should have high blood pressure and a mild cerebral infarction…"
Fang Yu seemed to have seen Old Master Tang's examination report, listing all of Old Master Tang's health problems.
At first, Chen Jingxin had a sarcastic look on his face, but as he listened, his face gradually changed. He became shocked, and in the end, his eyes widened in disbelief.
All the symptoms Fang Yu mentioned were correct! Including some symptoms that had only appeared in the past two days!
Tang Xiaorou didn't quite understand and looked at Tang Mingde, only to find that he was also stunned.
"How is this possible? Did someone leak the old master's examination report?" Liang Rong said loudly.
Tang Mingde came back to his senses and looked at Fang Yu. Besides shock, there was more excitement in his eyes.
What Liang Rong said was impossible.
The complete examination report of Old Master Tang was personally kept in the safe by Tang Mingde. Besides the attending doctor, no one else could possibly get access to it.
Moreover, Fang Yu had mentioned several symptoms that Old Master Tang had only recently developed.
This young man really had the ability!
"In your situation, it's impossible to be completely cured," Fang Yu said at this time.
The hope that had just ignited in Tang Mingde's eyes was instantly extinguished.
Tang Xiaorou's eyes turned red.
"I knew this kid had no real ability. He can diagnose the disease but can't treat it. What's the use of him?" Liang Rong sneered.
"Then… how long can I live?" Old Master Tang asked with difficulty.
"I'll give you an acupuncture treatment first, and then I'll give you a prescription. If you can buy all the medicinal herbs on the prescription and take it once a day… you can probably live about ten more years," Fang Yu said.
Ten years!?
Old Master Tang was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed!
He, who had been diagnosed by many doctors as having less than three months to live, could actually live ten more years!?
"Fang, Fang Yu… are you serious? You're not joking, are you?" Tang Xiaorou asked with tears in her beautiful eyes.
"The premise is that you can buy all the medicinal herbs on that prescription. Some of them should be very rare now," Fang Yu said.
"This is definitely not a problem! We'll buy them no matter how rare they are! Mr. Fang Yu, please give my father the acupuncture treatment as soon as possible," Tang Mingde said excitedly.
An hour later, Fang Yu walked out of Old Master Tang's study.
During the acupuncture process, Old Master Tang spat out a mouthful of blood, which startled Tang Mingde and the others.
But this mouthful of blood was filled with toxins accumulated in the body. After spitting it out, Old Master Tang felt much more relaxed, and his face regained some color.
Chen Jingxin used professional instruments to measure Old Master Tang and found that all the dangerous indicators of Old Master Tang's body had decreased significantly.
At this point, Tang Mingde and the others completely believed in Fang Yu. They knew that Old Master Tang had taken countless medicines, but none of them had the same effect as Fang Yu's acupuncture.
Chen Jingxin made an excuse and left the Tang family in a hurry.
Although Liang Rong still looked down on Fang Yu in her heart, she didn't dare to say anything more on the surface.
After writing down the prescription, Fang Yu was about to leave.
"Divine Doctor Fang, please don't take to heart the misunderstandings and rudeness towards you before," Tang Mingde said sincerely.
Fang Yu waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care.
Tang Mingde then took out a check and handed it to Fang Yu.
"Divine Doctor Fang, this is a check with no amount filled in. You can fill in as much as you want. This is the payment for treating my father."
"Actually, money isn't important. I just hope Tang Xiaorou won't forget what she promised me," Fang Yu said, looking at Tang Xiaorou beside him.
"Haha, you two have a private deal? That's a good thing. You young people should communicate more," Tang Mingde laughed.
He knew that Fang Yu was a medical genius rarely seen in a century. It would definitely be beneficial for Tang Xiaorou to get closer to Fang Yu.
"It's not really a deal. I just want her to stay away from me," Fang Yu said.
