Chapter 40: Seizing Credit
“Zhao Hao Tian! Come here!”
Zhao Ruilong glared at Zhao Hao Tian, his face dark with anger.
After hearing Zhao Ya’s words, he was still filled with regret.
If Bai Chen hadn’t come today, he might not have seen the sun tomorrow!
Zhao Hao Tian trembled at Zhao Ruilong’s words.
He hurriedly crawled to Zhao Ruilong’s feet, hugging his legs and crying.
“Grandpa, I didn’t mean to! I just called Doctor Pu to treat you as usual. I didn’t know this would happen!”
With tears and snot running down his face, Zhao Hao Tian clung to Zhao Ruilong’s legs.
Zhao Ruilong kicked him away.
“You are truly a terrible grandson! I nearly lost my life because of you! What a good grandson you are!”
“On top of that, you dared to disrespect Doctor Bai!”
After saying this, Zhao Ruilong turned to Zhao Ya, his tone softening significantly.
“Xiao Ya, didn’t you tell him about Doctor Bai’s background?”
Zhao Ya nodded.
“I certainly did! But my cousin still disrespected Doctor Bai.”
Hearing this, Zhao Ruilong was so angry he almost jumped out of his wheelchair, his eyebrows raised in fury.
“You scoundrel! Hurry and apologize to Doctor Bai!”
Seeing Zhao Ruilong’s wrath, Zhao Hao Tian didn’t dare to provoke him any further.
He crawled over to Bai Chen and frantically apologized, slapping his own face as he did so.
“I’m sorry, Doctor Bai! I was blind and didn’t recognize your greatness! Please forgive me!”
Zhao Hao Tian slapped his face over a dozen times, causing it to swell, as he lay on the ground, too afraid to move.
At this moment, Zhao Ruilong turned to Doctor Pu, whose expression was equally grim.
However, since Doctor Pu had been treating him for the past two years with decent results, Zhao Ruilong didn’t explode at him.
“Doctor Pu, thank you for your hard work these past two years! But now I have a better doctor.”
Doctor Pu froze at Zhao Ruilong’s words.
Though he wasn’t from the nine provinces, he understood the implication of Zhao Ruilong’s statement.
Yet he was unwilling to just walk away!
Each time he came to the Zhao family to treat Zhao Ruilong, he earned a handsome fee.
He relied on that income to live in a luxury home, drive a fancy car, and enjoy a very comfortable life!
Now, being asked to leave, he didn’t want to go!
Watching Bai Chen beside him, Doctor Pu’s small eyes darted around as a plan formed in his mind.
“Old Master Zhao, do you really believe he cured you?”
“If I hadn’t treated you before, you wouldn’t have woken up at all!”
“It was clearly my treatment that saved you, yet you want to send me away? Is this how the Zhao family treats their benefactor?”
Hearing Doctor Pu’s words, Zhao Ya angrily criticized him, stepping forward to retort.
“How dare you say that! It was you who caused problems with your ridiculous bloodletting therapy! If it weren’t for Doctor Bai, we wouldn’t know what would have happened to Grandpa!”
“You refuse to admit your mistakes and instead turn the blame on others; you are truly a shameless scoundrel!”
Upon hearing this, Doctor Pu immediately feigned surprise.
“Miss Zhao, you cannot make baseless accusations! Have I ever caused problems when treating you?”
“Your grandfather has been under my care for the past two years! There hasn’t been a single issue, so of course there wouldn’t be a problem this time!”
“It’s my bloodletting therapy that saved your grandfather; this guy just came in halfway and took the credit, so how can it be said that he saved your grandfather?”
Doctor Pu insisted that his bloodletting therapy was the reason Zhao Ruilong was saved, which infuriated Zhao Ya.
Just before, her grandfather had looked pale and weak.
This man had even said he would take her grandfather to the hospital for emergency treatment.
Now he claimed he saved Grandpa himself; she had never seen a more disgusting person in her life!
At this moment, Zhao Hao Tian also started to doubt.
“Grandpa, I think Doctor Pu has a point.”
“For the past two years, it was Doctor Pu who treated you, and nothing ever went wrong, so how could there be an issue this time?”
“Doctor Pu treated you before Doctor Bai stepped in, so maybe that played a role too!”
Hearing Zhao Hao Tian’s words, Zhao Ruilong fell silent.
However, a playful smile appeared on Bai Chen’s lips.
His gaze shifted back and forth between Doctor Pu and Zhao Ruilong.
Seeing that Zhao Ruilong wasn’t speaking, Doctor Pu grew more confident.
“Old Master Zhao, you must trust in my abilities! I come from the Great Cold Nether Nation, where our medical skills are the best in the world!”
“I’ve treated you for such a long time! This guy only jabbed a few needles at you! It’s obvious that I did more work; you can’t just credit your recovery to him! I see him as a fraud!”
Upon hearing Doctor Pu’s words, Zhao Ruilong narrowed his eyes.
“Doctor Bai is certainly not a fraud! I know that for sure! As for what you said…”
At that moment, Bai Chen spoke up.
He had never liked Doctor Pu.
Hearing that he was from the Great Cold Nether Nation only intensified his dislike.
Since when did a lowly person from a lowly place feel so confident?
“Old Master Zhao, you’ve been treated by this guy for the past two years, correct?”
Zhao Ruilong was puzzled by Bai Chen’s question but nodded.
“Yes!”
“Then over these two years, do you feel your health has improved or worsened?”
“Uh… it should be better.”
“I have one more question: when did you start using a wheelchair?”
“Since last year.”
After hearing Zhao Ruilong’s response, Bai Chen smiled lightly, then looked at Doctor Pu with interest.
“Old Master Zhao, when I treated you just now, I discovered many issues with your health that have only emerged in the past two years. This situation is quite concerning!”
Upon hearing Bai Chen’s words, everyone present turned pale.
They understood the implication behind Bai Chen’s words.
Doctor Pu’s face darkened immediately.
“What do you mean, fraud? If it weren’t for me, Old Master Zhao wouldn’t just be in a wheelchair; he might even be lying in a hospital bed, unable to sit in a wheelchair!”
Bai Chen sneered at this.
“So you’re saying your medical skills didn’t help Old Master Zhao at all, and his condition has still been getting worse!”
“Moreover, many of the health issues he has now are new! You know exactly what actions you took during these two years!”
After saying this, Doctor Pu’s body trembled, pointing a shaking finger at Bai Chen.
“You, you have no evidence! You’re slandering me! You just want to take all the credit for yourself!”
“Evidence? I don’t need to provide evidence against a mediocre doctor like you; I only need one thing to prove my point!”
With that, Bai Chen quickly inserted three silver needles into Zhao Ruilong’s legs under everyone’s gaze.
“Old Master Zhao, try standing up.”
