His eyes locked on Fade Chen and said in a deep voice, "Dr. Chen, I don't mean to disrespect, but l'm the heir of the Du Medicine Center and the prodigy of the Three Needles Du. Such an illness is a challenge, I doubt that you can succeed."
Fade Chen snorted, "Others can't cure what you couldn't cure? You are too arrogant!"
Caesar Du boasted, "My grandfather Jason Du is touted as one of the few 'National Medical Saints' of the country's traditional medicine circle. I have learned at least 60% of my grandfather's medical skills so I think I can live up to the reputation!"
"National Medical Saint?" Fade Chen was baffled.
Mindy Wu quickly explained softly, "The National Medicine Saint, is an honorable title given as an appreciation to Chinese medicine, recognized by the country's officials and individuals from the medical industry. In the whole Chinese medicine circle, there are less than 20 people who have this title. It can be said that any National Medical Saint is considered as the top of the top in Chinese medicine."
Fade Chen nodded, finally understood Caesar Du's outrageous behaviour. However, he did not plan to back off. He scoffed, "What does your grandfather's National Medical Saint title get to do with you?"
Fade's words touched Caesar Du's weakness and his face become distorted.
After all, although he was called "Three Needles Junior", it was a spill- over of his grandfather's title the "Threes Needles Du". Therefore, in the Chinese medicine circle, many people questioned his medical skills and level. He had only but shared his grandfather's glory, in order to enjoy such fame and status.
This perception made Caesar Du unsatisfied and annoyed. So when Fade Chen hit his weakest link, his eyes burned with anger.
"Are you doubting my medical skills?" Caesar Du said coldly. Fade Chen replied lightly, "Medical skills are not inherited or learned through bragging! Whether one is capable or not, one has to try it first."
The strife between them was growing rapidly.
Charles Wu noticed the twist of event, quickly stood up and said, "It's all my fault. You two are both talented young people. Let's stop quarreling. I..."
Charles Wu wanted to persuade the two, but with Caesar Du's attitude and Fade Chen's sarcasm, Caesar was reluctant to let it slide. He stated, "Uncle Charles, this is no longer about your illness. It's my personal and the Du family's honor. Since Dr. Chen belittled my medical skills, dare I ask how about your medical skills?"
Fade Chen said blandly, "I don't praise my medical skills by speaking, I show it. The patients will know if the illness is cured or not"
His words were yet another mockery, Caesar Du's face twisted even more. "Since Dr. Chen is so confident, I dare you on a challenge?
"How do we compete?" Fade Chen asked flatly.
Caesar Du took a look at Charles Wu then said, "Considering that we are going to treat Uncle Charles' illness, then let's treat him on the spot and see who gives the most effective outcome. Naturally, the winner will emerge." Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
"Sure!" Fade Chen accepted.
Caesar Du did not expect Fade Chen would agree so effortlessly. He was a little surprised, but he squinted and continued, "If I win, you have to apologize to me for what you said just now. I won't tolerate anyone insulting my medical skills and reputation."
"Okay!" Fade Chen still looked collected. "But what if you lose?"
"I won't lose!" Caesar Du said confidently. He paused for a moment and then said, "If I lose within the normal circumstances, I'll agree to any of your condition."
"Okay, let's start!" Fade Chen nodded.
Caesar Du also nodded, then looked at Charles Wu and said, "Uncle Charles, sorry to trouble you."
After that, Caesar Du looked at Fade Chen and explained, "I have been treating Uncle Charles for months so I am familiar with his condition. In order to be fair, I will tell you about Uncle Charles' vital condition now."
Fade Chen dismissed him, saying "There's no need, I can diagnose the condition myself."
"You..." Caesar Du did not expect a company's doctor in a small district would be so cocky. "Don't regret it if you lose."
"I'm not you!" Fade Chen grinned and then waved his hand. "You first!"
Caesar Du glared at Fade Chen, then together with Charles Wu, he walked into the guest room which was prepared earlier.
About 15 minutes later, Caesar Du came out, a confident smile hung on his face. He looked at Fade Chen and said, "It's your turn."
Fade Chen did not say anything. He walked into the room and closed the door.
Inside the room, Charles Wu saw Fade Chen entered. Feeling a little embarrassed, he said, "Fade, I'm really sorry about today..."
Fade Chen chuckled, "President Wu, it's okay. It's not your fault. Let's get started!"
Then, Fade Chen held Charles Wu's wrist and began to feel his pulse.
In less than half a minute, Fade Chen smiled, turned towards the door and shouted, "Caesar Du, please come in!"
"Fade, this is... Charles Wu asked in confusion.
Seconds later, Caesar Du pushed through the door and entered. He didn't understand why Fade Chen had called him in, it was only less than a minute since he entered. Has he surrendered?
"Do you want to give up?" Caesar Du raised his eyebrows at Fade Chen.
Fade Chen scanned the two puzzled individuals then shook his head gently. He followed by saying, "The reason I asked you to come in is to let you bear witness to my treatment on the spot. This is to prevent you from denying your failure later and accuse me of playing tricks."
"Hmph, I am not that kind of person!" Caesar Du snorted, "Besides, can you really cure it?"
Charles Wu also looked at Fade Chen skeptically. "Fade, can you really cure my illness?"
Fade Chen nodded with a gentle smile, "90% chance of success." In fact, Fade Chen was 100% capable of curing this kind of illness, but he only said 90% to avoid appearing cocky.
There was a twinkle in Charles Wu's eyes.
Caesar Du clenched his lips tight, "Swank."
Fade Chen didn't say anything afterward. He just looked at Charles Wu and said, "President Wu's symptom is itches all over the body, especially in the areas like the underarms and groin. When it starts, it feels like thousands of ants crawling. It's very uncomfortable. Am I right?
Upon hearing this, Charles Wu gripped Fade Chen's hand and exclaimed, "That's right! My illness is not really a serious one, but it just itches, that's all. But god knows how many hospitals I've gone to and how many drugs i've taken, but the effects were not much. On the contrary, the itch is getting worse. At times, I had to stop my meeting halfway when the itch attacked. The worst was when I was in the midst of discussion with clients, I had no choice but to endure it. Recently, it has gotten so dreadful that I'm beginning to lose control of it."
Caesar Du hadn't expected Fade Chen to accurately described Charles Wu's conditions in such a short time. He was slightly surprised. However, he was only slightly surprised.
However, he was only slightly surprised. In his opinion, an ordinary Chinese medicine practitioner could do the same. A specific treatment was still needed. Moreover, Fade had probably asked Charles Wu directly about these symptoms before. It was nothing extraordinary.
