Overbearing Immortal Doctor-Chapter 429: Swallowing Humility

Sunx Jianhong gritted her teeth and glared at Zhang Dadan, but she didn’t dare to speak hastily again, fearing more mockery and taunts from Zhang Dadan.

Before long, dozens of silver needles were inserted into Sunx Jingong’s body, and seeing his father looking like a hedgehog, Sunx Jiantong couldn’t help but find it somewhat amusing.

Needle treatment to cure rheumatism and cardiovascular disease? How ridiculous! I’d like to see how Zhang Dadan finishes this!

Sunx Jingong’s ailments were all chronic illnesses, though not instantly fatal, they caused him considerable torment.

After Zhang Dadan’s last treatment, his pain had greatly eased, no longer contending with the weather forecaster’s job.

But Sunx Jianhong still viewed Zhang Dadan as a conman, seeing her father treated like a hedgehog, she pretended to be distressed and said, "Father, why are you enduring this suffering?"

With his upper body covered in silver needles, Sunx Jingong didn’t dare speak loudly, only murmuring, "Jianhong, you don’t understand anything, just don’t interfere!"

Sunx Jianhong, relentlessly wanting to punish Zhang Dadan, couldn’t let this opportunity pass. She put her hands on her hips and scolded Zhang Dadan:

"Zhang Dadan! My father is of significant age, how can you bear to harm him like this? What if something happens, can you bear the responsibility?"

The cautious Sunx Jingong, seeing his daughter acting like a mad dog, both exasperated and saddened, wondered if she truly cared for him or was just using him to vent her anger.

The attendant, Sunx Jian Country, seeing his elder sister’s relentless criticism, had to intervene, "Sister! Can’t you stop giving Divine Doctor Zhang a hard time?"

"Do you really think father has lost his mind? If Divine Doctor Zhang were a fraud, could he deceive father?"

Stunned by these words, Sunx Jianhong had to give up, stepping aside to glare at her father with feigned concern.

Another ten minutes passed before Zhang Dadan stepped forward to remove the needles from Sunx Jingong. Though tiny, removing the needles still caused some slight pain.

"Ah..." Sunx Jingong groaned softly, and Sunx Jianhong hurried over, squatting by her father with concern, "Father... Father... are you alright?"

Sunx Jianhong’s poor acting not only didn’t please her father but made him even more annoyed with her.

"Have you had enough? I’m not dead yet!" Sunx Jingong glared at her coldly.

His cold stare filled Sunx Jianhong with fear, making her bow her head silently in acknowledgment of her mistake.

After all the dozens of silver needles were removed, Sunx Jingong felt an unprecedented comfort, as if free from illness and light as a feather.

"Divine Doctor Zhang, you really went to great lengths!" Sunx Jingong said respectfully as he put on his top.

Though intensely disliking Zhang Dadan, Sunx Jianhong was astounded to see her father’s complexion rosy and his breath steady, appearing genuinely healthy.

Could Zhang Dadan indeed be so formidable, able to treat even father’s chronic old ailments?

"Jianhong, if you have nothing else, please leave." Sunx Jingong coldly instructed.

Sunx Jianhong had come intending to leverage her father’s influence to smooth things over with the provincial *leader, hoping to save her husband’s business from danger.

But the Liu Ce she brought not only failed to please her father but caused her to lose face. Now, with her father openly telling her to leave, what should she do?

Sunx Jianhong instinctively glared at her husband, seeing him silently lower his head, her eyes flared with anger, useless man!

Seeing her husband too honest to flatter, Sunx Jianhong turned to her daughter for help, urgently making eye contact.

The Hundred People Slaughter’s Nana, a savvy young woman, quickly stepped forward, clinging to Sunx Jingong’s arm and acting coyly:

"Grandpa, we came specially to see you, how can we go back now? I want to spend more days with you!"

Although discontented with his daughter’s behavior over the years, Sunx Jingong softened at his granddaughter’s coyness.

"Jianhong, it’s not that I don’t want to help, but the project you want to bid on is a provincial key project. I can’t play favorites and suggest shady dealings, can I? It wouldn’t be fair to other bidders either!"

Seeing their father’s insight into their intentions, Sunx Jianhong and her husband were a bit shocked, realizing the old man wasn’t senile and couldn’t be easily fooled.

"Father, listen to me... I don’t want you to be corrupt, just to put in a good word!" Sunx Jianhong argued.

Watching this family discussing backdoor dealings in his presence, Zhang Dadan couldn’t help but feel some admiration for Sunx Jingong.

He had openly blocked his daughter and son-in-law’s request in Zhang Dadan’s presence, showing he wouldn’t easily change his mind. Zhang Dadan now saw him as a righteous person.

"Alright! Go back! Stop running around for this matter!" Sunx Jingong’s attitude slightly softened but he didn’t relent.

Feeling angry at her father’s resoluteness, Sunx Jianhong thought, I’m your own daughter, and you still won’t help?

"Father! You’re too heartless..." Sunx Jianhong blurted out but was stopped by her husband.

"Jianhong, let’s go back. I told you, father wouldn’t agree!"

Faced with her father’s refusal and her husband’s weakness, Sunx Jianhong was utterly disheartened, giving a bitter smile and leaving in a huff.

Though Zhang Dadan wasn’t one to take pleasure in others’ misery, seeing Sunx Jianhong thwarted gave him a bit of secret joy.

His joy wasn’t just from Sunx Jianhong’s lost face, but also from Sunx Jingong’s adherence to principles, making him feel that treating him wasn’t supporting the wicked.

After Sunx Jianhong and her family left in anger, Sunx Jingong seated himself again and smiled at Zhang Dadan, "Divine Doctor Zhang, sorry to make you witness such a spectacle!"

"Not at all... not at all... I should be praising you!" Zhang Dadan rarely complimented, but he did so to Sunx Jingong.

Seeing his praise, Sunx Jingong admired him even more, finding this young man not only skilled and strategic but also having a genuine heart. Truly a dragon amongst men.

As they were complimenting each other, an elderly man with white hair hurriedly burst in.

"*Chief... *Chief... Are you alright? I heard you fractured a bone, how are you now?" The elderly man asked anxiously as he ran in.

Seeing the old man still so sycophantic, Zhang Dadan couldn’t help facepalming and sighing, observing how power indeed had immense allure.

The elderly man stepped into the pavilion, closely inspecting Sunx Jingong with worry, "*Chief, how is your fracture now?"

Though displeased with him for not sharing the Canghe Skill, Sunx Jingong had decades of friendship with him and didn’t want to humiliate him, so he responded lightly, "All healed! Divine Doctor Zhang cured it last night!"

Divine Doctor Zhang? Again Zhang Dadan! This young man from a rural background not only possessed astonishing martial skills but also divine-like medical prowess, he must not be allowed to remain!

The elderly man had known about Sunx Jingong’s fracture two days ago but had ignored it, planning to feign an accidental meeting when Zhang Dadan came to treat him.

In other words, his primary intention for coming was still to see Zhang Dadan or to present a challenge to him.

Upon hearing that Zhang Dadan had instantly healed Sunx Jingong’s fracture, his wariness grew, even to the point of murderous intent.
