Chapter 34
Translated by Lys
Being able to earn Merit Points naturally made Su Fuling happy. But she was even more amazed that the other party would go to such lengths for a checkup. Despite not trusting her, she still agreed to take the medicine.
This was the first time she had met someone like this. Why was this person so fixated on a checkup? When something is abnormal, there must be a reason.
Su Fuling secretly guessed, 'Another one who came because of reputation, yet acted like she didn't believe me—could this be a case of 'testing the poison on herself'...'
Thinking about it, Su Fuling became more convinced that was the case, because this woman's behavior was too similar.
So before agreeing to the checkup, she emphasized to the other party, 'I need to stress that when I give you a checkup, I might not be accurate. And if there's nothing else wrong with your body, then my result will just be that there's nothing wrong. If you can accept both of these conditions, then I'll proceed with the checkup.'
An Hui's heart went numb. This so-called checkup project was already so sloppy that it was practically telling the other party outright that it was no different from a scam. So why did He Li believe it?
Even if He Li was being foolish, why did Ding Lanxiang also lose her senses?
By now, An Hui had made up her mind—she really had to go through this checkup!
So she nodded. 'Alright.'
Then she asked, 'Doctor, have you said this to everyone for your checkup?'
Su Fuling nodded. 'Of course, I have to explain everything clearly beforehand for any project.'
An Hui: '...Fine, then please proceed with the checkup, Doctor.'
Su Fuling reopened the scan, and when she saw that An Hui still had 'Target Customer' above her head, she pressed her forehead.
This was the situation she least wanted to see.
She genuinely hoped everyone would be free of illness and disaster.
Su Fuling took An Hui's pulse again, wanting to carefully check if there were any hidden diseases.
She felt the pulse for a long time, until An Hui grew impatient. 'Doctor, have you figured anything out yet?'
Zhao Facai said, 'Keep quiet, don't disturb my master's pulse-taking.' His master might be performing some kind of technique right now, and it couldn't be interrupted. There was even a risk of going into a demonic deviation.
Su Fuling let go of her hand.
After thinking it over, she decided to use today's detection quota on this woman who was 'testing the poison on herself.'
Besides the fact that the other party had provided her with eight Merit Points, she also felt that since the woman was already injured like this, if something unexpected happened and she got hurt again, it would be very dangerous.
Anyway, she hadn't encountered any difficult cases in the past few days.
Su Fuling activated the detection function.
[Patient Name: An Hui; Gender: Female Age: 49 years Main Condition: Leg fracture, abrasions. Patient Symptoms: Lower limb fracture, localized bruising, pain like needle pricks. Causing qi deficiency leading to fatigue and dizziness. Predicted Condition Change: At 1:35 PM, due to blood deficiency and fatigue, will fall from stairs, causing the leg bone to shift again.]
Su Fuling looked at the name and only then noticed it seemed familiar.
Had someone mentioned it before? Was it An Hui or Ahui?
She looked at An Hui and thought to herself, if this really was the 'Ahui' that He Li had mentioned, then this person had a lot of energy—it had only been a few days since the car accident, and she was already here.
Being so restless and not properly resting, getting injured again didn't seem all that surprising.
An Hui urged, 'Doctor, you can't tell, can you?'
Su Fuling withdrew her hand and looked at her. 'There are no other hidden diseases, but your current injuries haven't fully healed. You have qi deficiency and blood deficiency, which makes you prone to fatigue. So it's best to rest in bed. With your leg being inconvenient, and the qi and blood deficiency making you prone to fainting at any time, you should be very careful when walking. If you must go out, stay far away from places like stairs. After all, stairs are more dangerous than flat ground.'
An Hui: '...That's it? Nothing else? Like some kind of bloody disaster? Or how to resolve it?'
Su Fuling smiled. 'I'll reiterate: this is a Medical Clinic, and I only look at health. All advice is based on the patient's physical condition. So I hope the patient will follow the doctor's orders.'
An Hui really couldn't accept this. That was it? So simple!
Her daughter Sun Xiaofeng also felt now that Li Liang was really foolish, treating such a doctor as some kind of sage.
Sun Zhonghao breathed a sigh of relief—at least there were no shocking pronouncements. 'Alright, let's go.'
An Hui was quite disappointed inside. She was helped to stand up. 'Let's go. I want to see if the doctor's prediction is accurate. But Doctor, you're bound to be wrong—I live in a place with an elevator. I never take the stairs.'
After saying that, she walked out of the shop.
Su Fuling scanned her again and found she was still a mission target. She sighed. She had really done her best. The woman wouldn't listen.
'Ma'am, please still follow the doctor's orders,' Su Fuling reminded again.
After all, a leg bone shifting was truly painful.
An Hui didn't believe it was real at all. She even went to eat lunch before heeding the advice to go back to the hospital and lie down for a couple of days.
'No, I need to get a facial first. I haven't had one in days, and my face is dry.'
She touched her face, feeling it had started to get rough.
Even if she was hospitalized, she couldn't live so roughly.
Sun Zhonghao checked the time—it was still early, so getting some hydration was fine. 'Just hydration then. Some skincare products have complex ingredients, and I'm worried they might affect your injury.'
'I know, I'm hydrating my face, not my leg.'
Her daughter Sun Xiaofeng said, 'Mommy, the beauty salon has an elevator, right?'
'Of course, Kangmei Beauty Salon is a high-end place—all five floors have elevators. I'm going to the second floor today.'
Sun Xiaofeng felt relieved. 'Good thing, or I'd really be worried.'
'Oh, don't think about that. Some masters deceive people with psychological suggestion. Then they make you feel that no matter what happens, it was all predicted.'
'Makes sense. Mommy is so smart,' Sun Xiaofeng said admiringly.
An Hui laughed. 'Of course. Your daddy's company often needs me to handle business too.'
Sun Zhonghao smiled. 'Yes, you're the best.'
The family of three was harmonious and happy, completely forgetting all their worries.
Whatever being scammed out of money, whatever car accident—they tossed it all aside. Even the matter of the stairs was forgotten.
The beauty salon's environment was naturally excellent, with dazzling lights. People who had just finished their facials looked radiant. This scene lifted An Hui's spirits. She didn't even want to go to the hospital.
'I'll be discharged in a couple of days.'
To make the lobby visually layered, the beauty salon deliberately offset the lobby from the corridor to the stairs, with a few steps in between.
When they arrived at the beauty salon, Sun Zhonghao went to take An Hui's hand. 'There are a few steps. Let me carry you up.'
'No way, there are acquaintances here. If someone sees, they'll laugh at me for being a cripple. It's just five steps. I can go up on my own with my crutches.'
Just as she was about to go, she suddenly thought, does this count as stairs? She turned back with a smile. 'Barbie, take a picture for me. This counts as me going up stairs. Later, I'll show this photo to your Auntie Li.'
Sun Xiaofeng quickly pulled out the camera she carried with her.
Seeing she was ready, An Hui started going up with her crutches. To pose for the photo, she deliberately moved slowly.
'Don't block the lens,' she said to Sun Zhonghao beside her.
Sun Zhonghao had no choice but to step back two paces.
An Hui continued up the steps. Just as she reached the last one, suddenly, she felt dizzy, her vision went black, and she uncontrollably fell backward.
'Ahui!'
'Mommy!'
'Ah—' A cry of pain echoed through the lobby.
...
After finishing lunch, Su Fuling looked at the clock pointing to 1:35 PM and let out a sigh.
Zhao Facai read her expression. 'What's wrong, Master? Do you need someone to do something?'
'No, ah, it's not busy this afternoon either. You and Shasha can ask me anything you don't understand.'
She looked at Chen Shasha, who was scratching her head. 'Shasha, is there anything you don't get?'
'I don't get any of it at all.'
Chen Shasha was a bit distressed. 'But I still have to learn it well.'
Su Fuling said, 'As long as you have perseverance, you can get started. Once you're in, it gradually becomes easier to learn. But Chinese medicine is profound and extensive; it takes a lot of time to master.'
Hearing this, Chen Shasha's head ached.
Zhao Facai took the opportunity to say, 'Young people have no perseverance. Someone like me will study diligently and practice hard.'
Chen Shasha said angrily, 'So you're saying Dr. Su has no perseverance?'
'Of course not. Master is different from others,' Zhao Facai quickly backtracked.
Su Fuling advised, 'Alright, as long as you want to learn, anyone can. But I also need to clarify that I can only teach you medicine; I can't teach anything else.'
Zhao Facai quickly nodded. 'I love studying medicine the most.'
Chen Shasha looked confused. 'I followed Dr. Su to learn medicine.'
Seeing her sincere eyes, Su Fuling didn't say anything more. Actually, she had suspected earlier that Chen Shasha wanted to learn something else, but she still accepted her as an apprentice. Because she had a good impression of Chen Shasha, and they were friends. If this could help Chen Shasha leave the gang, she thought it would be a good thing. And in the end, whether she was willing to walk the path of medicine depended on whether Chen Shasha truly persisted. But now, it seemed Chen Shasha really wanted to learn medicine?
For someone genuinely sincere about learning medicine, Su Fuling naturally had no objections.
'Then let's all study hard.'
At the hospital, An Hui was sent back into the operating room for a second surgery.
This time, the pain was even more intense for An Hui than the first. It hurt so much that her face was covered in tears.
What made her cry uncontrollably was that she had suffered a major loss again by not heeding advice.
After coming out of the operating room, the doctor instructed her not to leave the hospital again, or her leg would be ruined.
An Hui covered her head with the blanket, not wanting to see anyone.
After the doctor left, she threw off the blanket. 'Don't tell anyone about this.'
Sun Xiaofeng said nervously, 'Mommy, did that Dr. Su... really get it right? Was it a coincidence? Was it a coincidence? Like that fake master who coincidentally predicted the car accident last time?'
Sun Zhonghao stopped her. 'Barbie, don't talk nonsense.' Some things, even if you don't believe them, you have to start believing.
'Fake... He Li is the fake!' An Hui pounded the hospital bed in anger. 'What fake Master Zhao? The real master must be Dr. Su!'
After the fall, An Hui finally understood the master's power.
She also figured out some of the inconsistencies. Why did Master Zhao become Dr. Su's apprentice? Why did He Li trust the young Dr. Su so much? Everything made sense now.
Because Dr. Su was the real master!
Dizziness, falling on the stairs—it was all predicted!
