Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady
Chapter 71 - 71 69 Acute Heart Disease

71: Chapter 69 Acute Heart Disease 71: Chapter 69 Acute Heart Disease Hu Xing’s personality was indeed as Su Yaoji described, not sociable or humorous, and his actions had indeed made the atmosphere somewhat awkward.

However, Su Yaoji had a rather bold and unrestrained personality, not considering Hu Xing’s feelings at all and seeming to intentionally want him to back off.

Su Yaoji waved her hand and said, “Don’t mind him, he’s just not likable.

Let’s continue our chat.

Tangyu, handsome guy, are you really still single?”

Regarding this question, Tangyu was more than willing to answer the beauty, “Sister Su, I’m not just single, I’m seriously single.

I’m this old and still single, so I’m seriously single.”

“Pfft—” Su Yaoji burst into laughter, “You really have a way with words.

By that logic, Xinxin and I are also seriously single.

Since that’s the case, don’t you think the three of us have a special connection?

Xinxin, how about we sisters claim him together?

That way, all our single issues are solved.”

Thump—

Zhao Xinxin’s hand slipped, and she almost knocked her chin on the table, glaring at Su Yaoji indignantly, “What nonsense are you spouting?

If you like him, you chase him.

Don’t drag me into this; I’m still very innocent.”

“It’s no fun alone; two’s company, hee hee,” Su Yaoji laughed charmingly, even making eyes at Tangyu.

Although he knew Su Yaoji was joking, Tangyu actually liked the idea of being the subject of the joke.

Honestly, if he could claim Sister Xinxin and Su Yaoji together, he would be more than happy.

Various delightful scenes couldn’t help but appear in Tangyu’s mind.

Hu Xing was quite resentful, even though he knew Su Yaoji was joking.

Still, he found such jokes hard to stomach.

Sitting there with a cold expression, if it were not for worry about upsetting Su Yaoji, he probably would have erupted by now.

“You dead Enchantress, after being abroad for two or three years, you’ve changed a lot.

Your way of speaking is all over the place and not at all ladylike,” Zhao Xinxin reproached.

Su Yaoji, however, seemed not to care at all, “This is called being in tune with international standards.

What’s the need for being so demure?

I’m talking to you, not someone else.

Chill out.

This way is much better, I love being free like this.

The foreign countries are truly liberating.”

Zhao Xinxin shook her head.

Su Yaoji always preferred freedom, and having spent two years abroad, she had become even less restrained.

Her way of doing things seemed a bit too much for some.

But after a moment of thought, Zhao Xinxin felt at ease.

Times had changed, and so naturally, mindsets needed to be more open.

“Ah—”

Suddenly, a sharp scream resounded, breaking the silence.

Tangyu raised his eyebrows and looked back, only to see a white-haired old man lying on the ground, his face contorted in pain.

He was clutching his chest with both hands, his facial muscles twitching.

However, his gaze did not flicker at all, showing an incredibly strong will.

Seeing this old man, Tangyu frowned as well.

The elder’s demeanor was exceptional, his eyes resolute and steadfast, his face as if carved from rock, especially the expression flickering deep within his eyes, which seemed to carry a trace of regal honor from days gone by.

After just a few glances, Tangyu, with his experience, could be sure that this elder’s identity was definitely not simple.

“Grandpa, what’s wrong?” A boy, who looked to be just eighteen or nineteen, stood by the elder’s side, his face extremely anxious and at a loss.

“What’s happening?”

“Is the elderly gentleman having a heart attack?”

Zhao Xinxin and Su Yaoji also looked over.

Su Yaoji liked to join in the excitement and stood up, “The elderly gentleman is having a heart attack, right?

Hey Hu Xing, aren’t you studying medicine?

Go and check on him.”

Although Hu Xing initially didn’t plan to go, he now felt it was a good opportunity to show off.

Being able to perform in front of the girl he liked, Hu Xing naturally did not hesitate.

He was, after all, studying medicine—while he couldn’t claim his medical skills were great, he could handle general issues.

“Alright, I’ll take a look.” Hu Xing immediately stood up and strode over, observing the elder’s condition seriously, “This doesn’t look good.

We need to send him to the hospital immediately, it’s a severe case of sudden cardiac arrest.”

“Are you a doctor?

Please, help my grandpa,” the young man immediately grasped Hu Xing, desperately pleading.

Hu Xing nodded, “Don’t panic, your grandpa has had this heart condition for a while now, right?

Didn’t he bring any medicine with him?”

The young man shook his head, “Grandpa hasn’t had an attack for two months, so he didn’t carry his medication with him, and he hasn’t been taking any for the last couple of months either.

Hurry, please take my grandpa to the hospital.”

At that moment, the staff from Haidong Aquatic Pavilion also rushed over, and they immediately went to lift the elder and transport him to the hospital.

Being able to visit Haidong Aquatic Pavilion was a symbol of status and position, and naturally, the service was beyond reproach.

“If you don’t want to kill this old man, then don’t move him.”

At that moment, a resoundingly firm voice erupted, and Tangyu walked over.

This sudden move startled Zhao Xinxin and Su Yaoji a bit.

Zhao Xinxin knew that Tangyu was a doctor, so she immediately realized what was happening.

However, Su Yaoji, not knowing Tangyu’s background, looked at him stepping forward with a peculiar expression in her eyes.

Everyone’s gaze turned toward Tangyu, and Hu Xing’s look changed as he eyed Tangyu with a strange expression.

“Big brother, what do you mean by that?” the young man asked with a plea in his eyes, looking toward Tangyu.

Tangyu said, “Your grandfather is indeed suffering from an acute heart attack.

If he doesn’t receive treatment right away, there might be a risk to his life.”

The young man urgently said, “Big brother, are you also a doctor?

Please, save my grandpa.

Both of you are doctors, what should we do now?

Grandpa, don’t scare me, hold on, I’m getting a doctor to treat you right away.”

Hu Xing was already displeased with Tangyu, and now that Tangyu was stealing his spotlight, he was very annoyed, thinking that Tangyu was deliberately targeting him.

This naturally made him competitive.

If Tangyu stole the spotlight again, he feared he could no longer hold his head high in front of Su Yaoji.

“Send him to the hospital immediately for emergency treatment.

Let’s not waste any more time,” Hu Xing said.

However, Tangyu said, “No one move, don’t touch the old man, or it could be dangerous for him.”

With one insisting on going to the hospital and the other saying not to move, the young man was even more perplexed and did not know whom to believe.

The people at the Haidong Aquatic Pavilion were also unsure of what to do; after all, the patient’s family members were also there, and naturally they wanted to listen to the family’s wishes.

Fiery with anger, Hu Xing glared at Tangyu and said, “What do you mean by this?

Trying to challenge me, is that it?

Do you not realize that this is a matter of life and death, and every extra minute we delay, the old man faces another minute of risk?

What if, due to the delay, something happens to the old man, will you take responsibility?

You say you’re a doctor; what evidence do you have to prove it?

I am a graduate student from Donglin University Medical School, and on this point, I believe I have more authority to speak than you.”

Hearing what Hu Xing said, the young man who was initially hesitant shook a bit.

There was hardly anyone in Donglin City who didn’t know Donglin University, which was the best university in the city and consistently ranked among the top three universities in Huaxia Country.

Especially the Donglin University Medical School, which was considered the most authoritative and top-tier medical school in Huaxia Country.

Numerous renowned doctors, known both in Huaxia and abroad, graduated from Donglin University Medical School.

The mere status of a graduate student from Donglin University Medical School was enough to instill trust in his capabilities.

Yet, for some reason, the young man also found Tangyu’s words credible.

Tangyu looked at Hu Xing with a faint smile and said, “I don’t need to prove to you that I’m a doctor.

Now is not the time to discuss credentials.

Let me ask you, the old man hasn’t had an episode for two months; why would he suddenly have one today?

Heart disease isn’t like other diseases; what’s your reason for wanting to immediately send the old man to the hospital for emergency treatment?”

Hu Xing was taken aback, somewhat choked by the question, and after thinking, he said, “The onset of an episode doesn’t necessarily have to be due to some stimulus.

Especially with heart disease, the possibility of an acute episode still exists.

Haven’t you seen how much pain and discomfort the old man is in?

If we don’t send him for emergency treatment at the hospital, then what should we do?

There isn’t any equipment here, how else are we supposed to treat him?”

Tangyu snorted coldly and said, “It seems your studies are quite shallow.” Pointing to a dish on the table, he continued, “This is a type of sea fish called ‘golden spiny fish,’ containing a particular substance that can stimulate the human heart.

Although it wouldn’t affect most people, it poses a problem if consumed by someone with heart disease.

It looks like the old man ate all the golden spiny fish on this plate.

Hence, it led to the onset of his acute heart disease.

If we move him rashly now, it would accelerate his blood circulation, causing the substance to rapidly spread throughout his body, continuing to stimulate the blood flow; he might not survive the trip to the hospital.”

Hu Xing was momentarily lost for words, not having learned any of this in school, and he was naturally skeptical.

Yet, unable to accept Tangyu’s dominance, he said, “Just because you say so?

Why haven’t I heard about it?”

Without missing a beat, Tangyu glanced at Hu Xing and retorted, “If you had learned everything, wouldn’t you be a ‘Divine Doctor’ by now?”

“You—” Hu Xing, utterly vexed, his face turning green.

“Humph, since you’re so capable, why don’t you handle the treatment?

We won’t go to the hospital; you take care of it right here and bear the consequences yourself,” Hu Xing coldly snorted.

The young man was extremely anxious, still unsure whom to trust.

His grandfather’s condition was worsening, and he feared his grandfather was truly in danger.

“Doctor, please save my grandpa,” the young man pleaded, pulling on Tangyu’s arm, and he didn’t know why, but he felt more inclined to believe Tangyu’s words.

Seeing this, Hu Xing was even more furiously irate, having thought the young man would trust him but instead saw him trusting Tangyu.

It was undoubtedly a blow for him.

His face, already a shade of pale green, also turned a bit white, especially as he saw Su Yaoji and Zhao Xinxin gather around and their attention focus on Tangyu; he secretly grit his teeth and harbored even greater animosity towards Tangyu.

“Humph, if you don’t take him for hospital treatment, I’d like to see how you manage to cure this old man’s illness.

If something goes wrong, I’m curious to see what Su Yaoji will think of you,” Hu Xing thought bitterly to himself.
