N-M Chapter 202: Only 8% Confidence
Chapter 202: Only 8% Confidence
Zhao Liangyi was preparing to argue his case and get Old Master Gu treated first.
Before he could even speak, Li Yi withdrew his outstretched hand, curled his lip in disdain, and said, "Since Doctor Zhao is so eager, then you can do it."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Liangyi was overjoyed.
"Kid, you said it yourself."
Then, he looked at Old Master Gu with great eagerness and said respectfully, "Old Master Gu, your precious body cannot be delayed. Let me take a look at you as soon as possible."
Seeing Zhao Liangyi's fawning expression, Old Master Gu frowned.
As a veteran who had experienced countless life-and-death situations, he despised sycophants and flatterers.
However, Zhao Liangli is, after all, a descendant of a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, and perhaps he really has a chance to cure his old ailment.
Furthermore, since Li Yi had now voluntarily given up, he simply nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Dr. Zhao."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Liangyi was afraid of having his credit stolen, so he didn't bother to say anything and quickly stepped forward to take Master Gu's pulse.
Lin Haoran felt a little annoyed when he saw that Zhao Liangyi had already started taking pulses.
If Li Yi makes the first move, and then Zhao Liangli steps forward after he fails to cure Old Master Gu's illness, it will better demonstrate his importance.
But now, Zhao Liangyi is insisting on treating the old man's illness first.
In this way, there's no way to thoroughly humiliate Li Yi.
"What a pity!"
Lin Haoran glanced at Li Yi standing to the side and shook his head with some regret.
Although Li Yi didn't know Lin Haoran's thoughts, he guessed Zhao Liangyi's intentions.
The other party's eagerness is simply because they want to curry favor with Old Master Gu through medical treatment.
However, he didn't care at all.
He came here today entirely because of Gu Qing.
As for money and wealth, they are all just fleeting clouds.
The most important thing for a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner is to have a compassionate heart and a desire to heal the sick and save lives.
Even if Zhao Liangyi really cures Old Master Gu, it won't have much impact on me.
It even saves me the trouble of taking action myself.
Guang Sheng Tang is, after all, a century-old brand, and it has also inherited some of the skills of the Ghost Doctor.
Therefore, although Zhao Liangyi's character was questionable, his medical skills were indeed far superior to those of ordinary people.
He quickly grasped the physical condition of Old Master Gu.
"Old Gu, if I'm not mistaken, you've been seriously injured a total of thirteen times before."
Zhao Liangyi slowly withdrew his hand, then frowned and continued, "These old injuries were not properly treated at the time."
Furthermore, given your advanced age, the functions of your internal organs and meridians have been severely damaged, making a complete recovery extremely difficult.
"That's right! Mr. Zhao truly lives up to his reputation as someone from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners." Upon hearing this, Old Master Gu nodded and praised him with a smile.
Lin Haoran, standing to the side, frowned.
Although he was well aware that Old Master Gu's condition was very serious, he had high hopes for inviting Zhao Liangyi over this time.
"Dr. Zhao, is it possible that even you can't cure Grandpa Gu?"
Before Zhao Liangyi could answer, Old Master Gu waved his hand with a smile, "Xiao Lin, birth, aging, sickness and death are the natural course of life. I have lived to this age, which is more than enough. Don't make things difficult for Mr. Zhao."
Although Grandpa Gu spoke casually, his eyes were somewhat dim.
Over the years, he has consulted many experts and is therefore well aware of his physical condition.
Moreover, as I get older, my internal condition is getting worse and worse.
Now, he can't even walk and can only sit in a wheelchair.
It's to be expected that Zhao Liangyi can't cure himself now either.
However, as soon as Old Master Gu finished speaking, Zhao Liangyi shook his head, "Old Master Gu, although your condition is a bit complicated, it's not entirely hopeless."
What?
The old man, who had been very magnanimous just moments before, widened his eyes immediately upon hearing these words.
Although he's reached an age where he can see things in a different light, if his illness could really be cured, who would want to sit in a wheelchair forever?
Lin Haoran had assumed that Zhao Liangyi meant that he couldn't cure Old Master Gu.
Unexpectedly, the other party suddenly made this turn of events.
He quickly asked, "Dr. Zhao, do you really have a way to cure Grandpa Gu?"
Zhao Liangyi smiled and nodded, "Although Elder Gu's condition is very serious, my Zhao family has many ancestral secret recipes. If combined with acupuncture treatment, Elder Gu might be able to stand up again if all goes well."
Can I get back on my feet?
Upon hearing this, Old Master Gu's breathing became rapid. "Dr. Zhao, what are your chances of helping me stand up again?"
"Um... about 80%."
Although Zhao Liangyi was confident that he could help Grandpa Gu improve his health and alleviate his symptoms, he was only 50% sure he could get him to stand up again.
However, there's not much difference between 99% and 1%, since probability is something no one can predict.
So he simply exaggerated it a bit.
Grandpa Gu was unaware that Zhao Liangyi had exaggerated his claims, but even if he had known, he wouldn't have been disappointed.
After all, even if there's only a one percent chance, it's worth a try.
"Old Gu, you're lucky to have met Doctor Zhao this time."
Seeing that his old friend's condition had improved, Old Master Zhao smiled and said something.
Then, he stared intently at Zhao Liangyi, pondering in his mind.
"Hehe, Dr. Zhao, I owe you a favor this time. If you ever need any help in the future, just let me know."
In high spirits, Old Master Gu immediately made a promise.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Liangyi was overjoyed. "Grandpa Gu, you're too kind. It's already an honor for our Zhao family to be able to treat your illness."
Although Old Master Gu didn't quite like Zhao Liangyi's obsequious manner.
However, the other party is, after all, a person with real skills.
He smiled and nodded, without saying anything more.
Seeing that Zhao Liangyi was truly confident he could cure Old Master Gu, Lin Haoran was overjoyed.
He also flattered Li Yi for a few moments, then turned to look at him and suddenly said, "This technician, although Doctor Zhao is confident that he can cure Gu Yaoyao, unfortunately he is only 80% sure."
Why don't you give it another try, and show everyone how amazing you are?
Although Lin Haoran said it was a pity, his face was actually full of pride, and his tone was somewhat boastful.
After all these years, no expert has ever been able to cure Mr. Gu's illness.
Zhao Liangyi's claim of being 80% certain is already quite remarkable.
Li Yi is so young, and he's just a technician. How can he compare to Zhao Liangyi, the miracle doctor?
