The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 426

Shanghe Private Hospital, in Capital City, is a very reputable private institution. Today, early in the morning, the major media outlets of Capital City flocked to Shanghe Private Hospital, since the second contest of the international medical exchange was to be held here.

A group of medical authorities from Huaxia Country, with Ye Chenfeng at their center, had just arrived at the entrance of Shanghe Private Hospital. The cameras of the assembled media clicked away at them incessantly; the buzz about Ye Chenfeng’s standout performance in yesterday’s international medical exchange had already spread among the major media outlets.

These were, after all, media outlets from Huaxia Country, and of course, they longed to see Huaxia’s medical community outshine those of Country M and the Island Nation. Since yesterday’s competition at the private club wasn’t open to the media, they had only heard that a young man named Ye Chenfeng had turned the tide at the last minute, leaving the medical authorities of both Country M and the Island Nation speechless. They were extremely interested in Ye Chenfeng; the media always needs sensational news, and since Ye Chenfeng was so young, this story was definitely worth digging into.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Ye?" One fairly attractive female reporter squeezed her way to the front and immediately spotted Ye Chenfeng. Her years of journalistic instincts told her that this handsome man was the protagonist.

"I am indeed the Mr. Ye you speak of," Ye Chenfeng replied with a slight smile to the cameras, "but I don’t consider myself very handsome; I still have much room to grow and will surely become even more so in the future. As for whether I have a girlfriend or not, that’s something we could possibly discuss in private, if you happen to be unattached," he joked.

While jesting, Ye Chenfeng continued walking towards Shanghe Private Hospital, adroitly handling the media’s attention.

The female reporter didn’t expect Ye Chenfeng to joke like that and was visibly taken aback. By the time she collected herself, Ye Chenfeng and the rest of the medical authorities had already entered the hospital. Watching Ye Chenfeng’s retreating figure, she murmured to herself, "So handsome."

This reporter later changed careers to become a presenter, and quickly rose to prominence in the Capital City broadcasting world. In a subsequent interview, she once said, "There was a man I met just once, whose image deeply entered my heart. He is the most charming man in the world, and it’s a pity that our paths in life merely crossed briefly; missing out on knowing him better is the biggest regret of my life."

But, that was a story for another time.

No sooner had Ye Chenfeng and the others entered Shanghe Private Hospital than the medical authorities from Country M and the Island Nation had all arrived. Jess and Aoki Koichi approached Ye Chenfeng.

"Ye Chenfeng, are you representing Huaxia Country in today’s competition? That would be perfect," Jess said with a smile. "Do you dare to make a bet with us from the medical community of Country M?"

"And from our medical community of the Island Nation, too. Weren’t you quite arrogant yesterday? Surely you’re not going to back down today, are you?" Aoki Koichi taunted.

Ye Chenfeng glanced at the surrounding medical authorities from Huaxia Country. They hadn’t expressed any opinions, which meant they were leaving the decision up to Ye Chenfeng.

"Why would I not dare? State your wager," said Ye Chenfeng, cutting to the chase.

"Young man, you are indeed straightforward. If Country M and the Island Nation win today’s match, all of you medical authorities present are never to practice medicine again from henceforth, and the bets made with Wester and Chikara Kawabata yesterday will be nullified. However, if Country M and the Island Nation lose, then our medical authorities must never practice again, and we’ll compensate you with one hundred million US dollars," Jess confidently inflated.

"Kid, do you dare to accept this bet?" emboldened by his confidence that Huaxia Country’s loss today was a foregone conclusion.

Upon hearing such a colossal wager from Jess, the expressions on the medical authorities of Huaxia Country varied greatly. The numbers from Huaxia, Country M, and the Island Nation were about equal, with each representing the cream of the crop in their country’s medical fields. If this group were forever barred from practicing medicine, the impact on their respective countries’ medical communities would be devastating. It could even lead to the gradual decline of their national medical fields due to their absence.

Now, one could imagine the colossal impact that the bet proposed by Jess would have on the losing country’s medical community.

"Do you think I dare not agree? However, words are not proof, and we must sign a legally binding contract," said Ye Chenfeng. If someone comes to seek death on his doorstep, why wouldn’t Comrade Ye Chenfeng fulfill their wish?

"Don’t worry about that; we already have it prepared." As Jess spoke, he pulled out two pre-drafted treaties from his briefcase. "The medical authorities of Country M and the Island Nation present have all signed it. Just sign here, and the treaty will take effect immediately."

Ye Chenfeng meticulously read through all the clauses of the treaty and, after confirming there were no problems, immediately signed his name. Duan Nan also didn’t hesitate to sign, followed by Lu Shengrong.

After hesitating for a while, the other Huaxia Country medical authorities also started signing, one after another. For them, there was no turning back now. Faced with the provocation from Country M and the Island Nation, they could only brace themselves to accept the challenge.

Once all the medical authorities from Huaxia Country had signed their names, one copy of the treaty was left with Huaxia Country, and the other was kept by Country M and the Island Nation.

After securing one copy of the treaty, Jess’s smile grew even broader, "Do you know what today’s competition is about? I don’t mind giving you a hint—it’s about surgical ability. This time, you from Huaxia Country can only use Traditional Chinese Medicine, as you agreed. Otherwise, even if you don’t do it, you’ll lose. Can your Chinese medicine perform major surgery? I’m really looking forward to seeing it."

At these words, except for Duan Nan, the other medical authorities from Huaxia Country’s complexions drastically changed, including the leading figure of Chinese medicine, Lu Shengrong. Being a practitioner of Chinese medicine, he knew very well that it was not adept at performing surgeries, and he looked at Ye Chenfeng with considerable concern. Today’s competition could indeed be a matter of life and death for Huaxia Country’s medical community. If Ye Chenfeng lost, the medical authorities of Huaxia Country present would no longer be able to practice medicine, which would be a catastrophic disaster for Huaxia’s medical community.

"Hmm, you really should be looking forward to it. After all, only you will end up losing," Ye Chenfeng said unapologetically.

While the medical authorities of Huaxia Country were weighed down with worry, the judges of the international medical exchange competition arrived and announced the content of the contest.

Each of the three countries would be assigned a patient with a benign tumor, and the conditions of these three patients were nearly identical. Moreover, the tumors were all located in the lungs. The judging committee had went to great lengths to find three patients with almost identical cases to ensure fairness, fairness, and more fairness.

The three patients with benign tumors had already been brought into the operating rooms of the hospital, waiting for the participating doctors from the three countries to begin treatment.

"Young man, good luck to you. I hope you can demonstrate the brilliance of Chinese medicine in surgery," said Jess with a disdainful scoff, and he walked towards the operating room with Aoki Koichi.

"Master, are you confident that you can perform such a major surgery? I must admit that our Chinese medicine is indeed at a disadvantage when it comes to surgery," said Lu Shengrong cautiously to Ye Chenfeng.

"Old Lu, do you think such a trivial matter could stump our master? The master is sure to win the contest, and it will be an easy victory at that," Duan Nan said with a smile. Joking aside, if Ye Chenfeng could treat advanced malignant tumors, then a mere benign tumor was nothing in his eyes!

"Duan Nan is right. This contest holds no challenge for me. Follow me into the operating room, both of you," Ye Chenfeng said to Duan Nan and Lu Shengrong.

Of course, the operating room couldn’t admit too many observers. Each contestant could bring at most two assistants, and Ye Chenfeng chose his two disciples, Duan Nan and Lu Shengrong.
