Chapter 009: I Can't Cure Your Grandson's Illness

Everyone could hardly believe their eyes.

The esteemed Doctor Zhang of Huai City, the president of the Medical Association Zhang Hongru, was actually kneeling before Chen Xuan, the Han Family's son-in-law, and even addressing him as "Miracle Doctor Chen"?

This was simply too bizarre!

"Doctor Zhang, you... you must be mistaken, Chen Xuan is just a lowly son-in-law of our Han Family, since when did he become a 'Divine Doctor'?"

"Exactly, you are the true 'Divine Doctor' of our Huai City!"

Zhang Hongru saw the attitude of the Han Family members and knew that they must have not spared any insults to Chen Xuan on a daily basis, which immediately angered him.

"A lowly son-in-law? You people are truly blind! Miracle Doctor Chen's medical skill is more than enough to be called a National Doctor Saint; with Miracle Doctor Chen here, who else in Huai City is qualified to be called a 'Divine Doctor'?"

Zhang Hongru spoke firmly and righteously, but the members of the Han Family were each dumbfounded, their jaws nearly dropping to the floor.

Miracle Doctor Chen?

National Doctor Saint?

Was this really the Chen Xuan they knew?

However, Zhang Hongru did not pay any more attention to the crowd and looked at Chen Xuan again.

It was also good luck on Zhang Hongru's part; after Zheng Qingxue was saved by Chen Xuan on the street yesterday, she mobilized the Zheng Family's resources to find Chen Xuan's whereabouts, and only this morning did they get a result.

At almost the same time, Zhang Hongru had just received news that his grandson, Zhang Yuan, had been diagnosed with malignant melanoma, which had already reached the late stages!

This disease is considered incurable globally, and even Zhang Hongru was completely powerless to treat it.

Out of desperation, Zhang Hongru suddenly thought of Chen Xuan.

Because Zhang Hongru had previously read in an ancient book named "Ghostly Prescriptions" from the end of the Jin dynasty, about a case in which melanoma had been cured, using a technique similar to Acupoint Resonance, the one used by Chen Xuan!

So now, Chen Xuan was Zhang Hongru's only hope!

"Miracle Doctor Chen, my grandson Zhang Yuan suddenly developed malignant melanoma; only you can save his life. Please, I beg of you to lend a hand!"

Zhang Hongru knelt on the ground once again and pleaded.

The Han Family members were terrified; there weren't many in the entire Huai City who could make the great Doctor Zhang kneel.

Although they didn't know how Chen Xuan had managed it, they did know that this was an extremely rare and great opportunity for the Han Family!

As just a regular elite member of the Medical Association, Han Chengye could bring a twenty million contract to the Han Corporation; if they could establish a relationship with Zhang Hongru, the president of the Medical Association, wouldn't their Han Corporation soar to new heights!

Madam Han was always a shrewd person and would not let such a good opportunity slip by; she immediately scolded Chen Xuan, "Chen Xuan, what are you dazed for? Hurry up and kneel to thank Doctor Zhang for providing such a great opportunity!"

The other members of the Han Family also came to their senses and echoed the sentiment, urging Chen Xuan to thank Zhang Hongru.

In their view, even letting Chen Xuan attempt to save someone was an honor for him; it should be Chen Xuan who was grateful, not Doctor Zhang.

After all, such a good chance to get close to a leading figure in Huai City's medical world wasn't something just anyone could have!

But what they hadn't expected was that Chen Xuan, looking at Zhang Hongru, was completely calm.

"I'm sorry, but I cannot cure your grandson's disease," Chen Xuan stated simply.

This straightforward response made the members of the Han Family explode in anger.

After all, he was facing Zhang Hongru!

Just a single sentence from him could catapult their Han Corporation to great heights, just as it could also leave them without a place to stand in Huai City!

Yet there was Chen Xuan, who dared to respond in such a manner, which was utterly reckless!

"You fool! Doctor Zhang is offering you the chance to help because he respects you, and you dare to be so ignorant! You're really throwing his goodwill back in his face!" Madam Han shouted, pounding her chest in rage, her dragon-head cane smashing against the floor.

Han Chengye was also livid, "That's right, you worthless son-in-law, you dare to be disrespectful to Doctor Zhang; kneel down and apologize to him this instant!"

"Yes, kneel down and apologize!"

The Han Family members were each filled with righteous indignation, as if they couldn't coexist with Chen Xuan.

Even Han Jingting, at this moment, was earnestly persuading, "Chen Xuan, apologize quickly, and then hurry and treat Doctor Zhang's grandson!"

In Han Jingting's view, this was also an opportunity for Chen Xuan to turn his situation around in the Han Family and make everyone look at him differently.

But Han Jingting simply couldn't understand Chen Xuan's feelings at this moment.

Chen Xuan had heard very clearly just moments ago; the one who was ill was none other than Zhang Yuan himself.

The same Zhang Yuan who had caused Chen Xuan to drop out of school, who had forced him to kneel and bow his head, who had beaten him, and trampled all his dignity underfoot!

Chen Xuan was no saint, and his heart wasn't so magnanimous that he could forget and help someone who had humiliated him just the day before.

That was something he, Chen Xuan, could not do!

Chen Xuan looked at Zhang Hongru, "Miracle Doctor Zhang, as you can see, I am just a son-in-law who everyone deems worthless, without the capability to save your grandson. It would be best for you to seek out someone more skilled."

The Han Family members were completely dumbfounded, never expecting Chen Xuan, who usually spoke humbly and allowed himself to be pushed around, to actually dare to stand up to them today!
