Perspective Medical Genius Young Master-Chapter 87: The Bet

Xiao Yifei’s voice, with a smirk that was not quite a smile, slowly rose from behind, "What’s the matter? Why don’t you give it a try?"

He slowly walked forward, a playful smile on his lips as he looked at Jin Zhuang.

At his words, Jin Zhuang was taken aback and turned his head to look at Fu Kaiyuan. Fu Kaiyuan gave him a slight nod, and only then did Jin Zhuang step forward. He held his head high, his face full of contempt for Xiao Yifei, "I’ll give it a try, why not? I’ve studied dermatology for so many years and treated so many dermatology patients at Shangjing Hospital. Am I supposed to be afraid of a little emergency department doctor like you?"

Upon hearing Jin Zhuang’s words, the corners of Xiao Yifei’s mouth slightly curled up. He calmly said to Jin Zhuang, "Since you’ve put it that way, it wouldn’t be fair if I didn’t let you have a try. Oh, by the way, I should clarify one thing for you. I agree to let you treat Miss Tan, but I don’t know if Miss Tan agrees."

Jin Zhuang was stunned for a moment and then turned his head towards Tan Yunjing, "Miss Tan, please let me take a look at you! I think I am much better than that guy Xiao Yifei. I don’t know where he fooled you into thinking otherwise!"

Jin Zhuang’s voice trembled as he talked to Tan Yunjing because he thought if he could perhaps cure Tan Yunjing’s illness by chance, then hitching himself to her coattails would lead to smooth sailing from there on!

Tan Yunjing had indeed only heard Jiang Mingquan mention Xiao Yifei’s exceptional medical skill; she had not witnessed it with her own eyes. So, at this moment, she was somewhat hesitant.

But Hong Fan didn’t think too much about it. He stared at Jin Zhuang intensely. He had been very angry with Jin Zhuang’s unreasonable behavior just now and said sullenly, "So you also want to treat the young lady, huh? No problem at all! However, the young lady’s illness is not something everyone can treat. Tell me, if you want to treat the young lady and fail to cure her, what price are you willing to pay?"

Jin Zhuang was stunned, as was Fu Kaiyuan behind him, because he didn’t know that failing to cure Tan Yunjing would come at a cost.

"Uh..." Jin Zhuang suddenly was at a loss for words. However, when he turned his gaze to Xiao Yifei, his eyes suddenly lit up. He pointed straight at Xiao Yifei, "Why should I pay a price! Xiao Yifei doesn’t have to! You can’t be unfair just because of Xiao Yifei!"

Hearing Jin Zhuang’s childish tone, Xiao Yifei laughed and shook his head.

"What are you talking about?" Xiao Yifei glanced at Jin Zhuang and spoke casually, "They don’t talk about me making a sacrifice because I can cure Tan Yunjing’s illness!"

Jin Zhuang rubbed his ears, thinking they were playing tricks on him. He looked at Xiao Yifei as if he were looking at a fool, "What did you just say? Say it again?"

Xiao Yi shrugged his shoulders and ignored Jin Zhuang.

"Just by yourself? You haven’t even observed the patient’s symptoms, and you say you can cure the patient’s illness? Are you living in a fantasy?"

With a mocking smile, Jin Zhuang initially thought that Xiao Yifei might indeed be skilled, but it seemed now that Xiao Yifei was nothing but an ignorant braggart spouting nonsense, not worth mentioning at all.

"Tsk, this kid is completely living in his own dream. He thinks the world revolves around him, that whatever he says goes? He is delusional. If he’s sick, he should just go get treated!"

Xiong Yang also had a mocking smile on his face as he shouted at Xiao Yifie from the back.

"Who are you?" Xiao Yifei cocked his head, looking at Xiong Yang, "Is there a part for you to speak here?"

Upon hearing Xiao Yifei’s words, Xiong Yang felt a surge of stifled blood rush to his head. That remark from Xiao Yifei left him choking up. His face swelled with a flush of red, and he pointed at Xiao Yifei, struggling to utter a word!

Fu Kaiyuan still glanced arrogantly at Xiao Yifei, considering him nothing more than a jumping clown, not even worth mentioning.

At this moment, Lou Nanfu stood obediently and cleverly in the background. Since he had already made a fool of himself, and a wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him, he didn’t want to blindly rush into the line of fire again. All he needed to do now was to take good care of Tan Yunjing. As for Xiao Yifei, who had caused him to lose face, Lou Nanfu swept his gaze over him out of the corner of his eye, "If he truly has the ability, then I admit defeat. But if he’s just pretending to be the big bad wolf, then don’t blame me for not being polite!"

Xiao Yifei waved his hand, speaking very casually to Jin Zhuang, "Well, let’s do this. Miss Tan seems to have quite an extraordinary status, so her illness might not be fit for too many prying eyes. Since you don’t trust me but have so much confidence in yourself, let’s make a bet between us."

Xiao Yifei lowered his head and rubbed his nose, which caused his voice to sound muffled as it was blocked, "Let’s not bet on anything else. Let’s just bet on who can cure Miss Tan’s illness today, how about that!"

Jin Zhuang listened to Xiao Yifei’s words with the same look one might give a lunatic, staring at Xiao Yifei incredulously, "Are you crazy? Who can cure an illness in one day? Even a cold takes three days to get over!"

Everyone present felt that Xiao Yifei was joking. Indeed, as Jin Zhuang had said, curing an illness is a process, and even a cold would take three days to heal, let alone skin diseases which are extremely difficult to treat!

Xiao Yifei yawned, speaking in a languid manner, "I can cure Miss Tan’s illness within a day! If you can’t, that’s your problem, it has nothing to do with me. If you’re afraid to bet with me, then just obediently scram, and don’t jump around here with me!"

Hearing Xiao Yifei’s words, Jin Zhuang became infuriated, raising his voice as he said, "You’re just looking for trouble! You don’t even respect scientific evidence! You’re just making things difficult!"

Jin Zhuang was beside himself with anger, his body trembling uncontrollably as he glared fiercely at Xiao Yifei, wondering if there was some sort of conspiracy at play.

"Jin Zhuang! Don’t be intimidated by him! I tell you, he’s just trying to scare you! Although I don’t know the specifics of Miss Tan’s condition, it seems that it’s not an easy disease to cure. How could it possibly be cured in one day? Xiao Yifei himself doesn’t have this confidence; he’s merely trying to frighten you so you won’t dare to bet with him!"

Xiong Yang said triumphantly from the back, convinced he had pinpointed Xiao Yifei’s loophole.

"Don’t be afraid! Just take the bet with him! I want to see if he dares to accept the bet once you agree!"

Fu Kaiyuan also nodded silently to Xiong Yang’s analysis, thinking that it made a lot of sense, and that Xiao Yifei was indeed just bluffing.

"Go on! Don’t be scared!"

Fu Kaiyuan stood behind Jin Zhuang, softly urging him on.

Jin Zhuang’s eyes sharpened, and all at once, it dawned on him that Xiao Yifei was just trying to scare him. Taking a confident step forward, he said to Xiao Yifei, "Alright! I’ll take your bet! However, I definitely won’t be able to cure Miss Tan’s illness within a day. Since you’re so confident, let’s make this bet!"
