"The master's condition was under our control, but the long journey to China caused further heart problems, leading to his current state."
"Yes, I advised Young Master Frank not to come to China! The master's body can't handle it, but he wouldn't listen and insisted on coming. In the end, he couldn't take the strain, and this is what happened; there's nothing we can do!"
"I heard that Young Master Frank came to China on his own... something happened, so they used the excuse of letting the master get some fresh air to bring him here. Sigh, he should be resting and recuperating; how could he be running around like this?"
"Miss Ryusha, if the master really... Young Master Frank wants to kill us, you must say a few words for us! It's not that we didn't try our best; it's just the long journey!"
...
As these health care experts spoke, their intentions became clear. If Seji really died, they might very well follow. Frank, that devil, was a man of his word!
Then, perhaps only Ryuse could save them.
"If my grandfather died, I wouldn't plead for you," Ryuse said, looking at them with a mixture of indifference and pity, before abruptly changing her tone: "But you're lucky, you won't die, because my grandfather won't die; someone will save him."
The doctors exchanged bewildered glances. Could it be the doctor who was about to arrive?
What gave Miss Ryuse such confidence?
Who exactly was this doctor? Was he the legendary, white-bearded old Chinese medicine doctor from Chinese medical legends?
Just then, an excited voice came from outside: "The doctor's here! Dr. Lu Chen is here!"
The experts in the health care team turned around and were stunned.
There was no white-bearded old man; it was clearly a young, voluptuous Chinese beauty and a handsome young man in his early twenties.
The beautiful Chinese woman couldn't possibly be the doctor treating the old man, and the young man? While he was certainly imposing, it couldn't be him either, could it? The Chinese doctors they'd seen these past few days were all middle-aged or older. And in the minds of the experts in the health care team, anyone treating Saiji had to be at least middle-aged or older!
Therefore, their eyes were filled with shock and even greater distrust.
Those who entered were, of course, Lu Chen and Xu Jiaqi, brought along by the eager Xu Zhou.
Lu Chen was also somewhat shocked upon entering, his eyes momentarily dazzled. The first thing he saw was the red-haired beauty sitting on the opposite sofa. Just by looking at her posture, he knew she was very tall, and her two snow-white legs resting on the coffee table further confirmed this.
Lu Chen had never seen such long legs on a foreign beauty before.
He had previously had intimate relationships with one or two Western models in Jiaying City, but compared to this red-haired beauty, they were practically only fit to lick his toes.
That radiant aura, that wild, alluring beauty tinged with a seductive charm, instantly ignited a surge of heat in Lu Chen. Some beauties are truly magical; a single glance is enough to set a man ablaze with desire.
That one was just like that.
Lu Chen scratched his head, instantly realizing what was happening. Damn it, that stunningly beautiful foreign woman, who could charm anyone to death, must be Liu Sha, the one who sent a group of assassins to kill him!
And she must have already killed someone.
When Lu Chen first heard the name Liu Sha from Yang Jiangyu, he had guessed that Liu Sha would be a beauty or something. But he hadn't expected her to be this outrageously beautiful! Damn, so vicious and so gorgeous—could she be one of those legendary femme fatales? In that instant, Lu Chen had the urge to pounce on her and strangle her.
Strangle her unconscious, strip her naked, pin her to the sofa, and rape her brutally, again and again.
That would be awesome!
Thinking of this, Lu Chen's eyes practically gleamed with lust.
It wasn't that he was lecherous; Lu Chen had never entertained the thought of forcing himself on a beautiful woman. However, the fact that a beautiful woman had tried to kill him and almost succeeded had ignited a violent urge within him.
Meanwhile, Liu Sha tilted her head slightly, looking at him, seemingly discerning something from his gaze.
She gave a slightly eerie smile but remained silent. She lowered her head, continuing to file her nails.
At this moment, a somewhat sarcastic voice rang out: "So young? Dr. Xu Zhou, I hope you haven't made a mistake and haven't just sent anyone to treat the old man. Otherwise, I'll complain to Young Master Frank. Maybe you've brought in too many random people, and it's made the old man worse."
This was a rather convenient excuse, immediately eliciting agreement from the experts.
Suddenly, Xu Zhou's head felt twice as big. Actually, he was quite skeptical of Lu Chen. Could this young man really cure the John Wen family's hereditary heart disease? He had his doubts.
However, in this situation, he had no choice but to try anything, even if it seemed hopeless! He had spent most of his trip to China contacting various cardiologists and doctors, from renowned doctors in big cities to barefoot doctors in the mountains. He had asked everywhere, but so far, not a single person could treat it, or even offer a treatment plan.
For this, Frank had even slapped him twice.
Not finding a doctor meant he couldn't repay the two million dollar gambling debt.
And not being able to repay it meant he would have to risk his life!
Therefore, Xu Zhou wouldn't give up as long as there was even a sliver of hope. Plus, his daughter had repeatedly affirmed Lu Chen's medical skills. He knew his daughter's abilities and personality; becoming the vice president of Yunzhou City's First Hospital before the age of thirty meant she was definitely capable. And she was always meticulous and wouldn't easily praise someone's medical skills.
Lu Chen had won her heart, so he must have some real skill.
He quickly said, "Dr. Louis, Lu Chen is a rising star in China's medical field. Moreover, he's the research director of Flying Eagle Biotechnology, one of the most famous biological research companies in Fuhai Province! He has his own unique expertise. Why don't you let him take a look? Maybe a miracle will happen?"
"A miracle?" The middle-aged foreign woman scoffed. "Xu Zhou, I don't believe you Chinese can create any miracles. The master's heart disease is the most difficult to treat in the world, bar none. If miracles could cure it, I believe wars and volcanic eruptions would have stopped long ago."
Xu Zhou was embarrassed and was about to reply when a clear, melodious voice rang out: "Enough with the nonsense! You foreigners are even more talkative than our Chinese gossips! If you keep babbling on, be careful that the master's illness isn't worsened, and he never wakes up again—that would be your fault!"
These words carried a hint of impatience and disdain.
It was Lu Chen who spoke. As a former scion of a wealthy family, he understood some English, though not completely, but he knew they looked down on him. He immediately countered in Chinese.
Xu Zhou, steeling himself, immediately began translating.
It was indeed possible that Mr. Sage might never wake up, though the chances were slim. Therefore, Lu Chen's words instilled fear in the experts and doctors.
Fear aside, they were still indignant. The bearded Louis was even more disdainful: "Whether you believe it or not, I don't believe it. You're not even fully grown yet..."
"Whether you believe it or not, I believe it!"
A cold, clear voice suddenly rang out.
Everyone turned to look in the direction of the voice—towards the large sofa. Only one person didn't look: Mr. Sage, lying unconscious on the bed.
The speaker was Ryusa.
Ryusei had apparently finished filing her fingernails. She took off her shoes and casually placed one of her smooth, jade-like feet on the coffee table, filing her toenails.
She was focused on filing, ignoring the onlookers, and said as if talking to herself, "Mr. Lu Chen's pubic hair must be fully grown; I know that without even looking. As for his medical skills, they will definitely have an effect on my grandfather; my opinion on that is the same as my opinion on his pubic hair."
Lu Chen almost pointed to the sky and cursed. Damn it! Was she praising me or insulting me?
This Australian beauty's way of speaking is too bizarre!
But then again, of course my pubic hair is fully grown.
Lu Chen was also slightly surprised that Ryusei, who had once wanted to kill him, was now speaking up for him.
"So, you guys, stop getting in the way, okay? Are you courting death?"
As soon as these words were spoken, a murderous aura immediately emanated from her, and the experts quickly made way.
Everyone knew that when Ryusei became ruthless, she was a hundred times more ruthless than her brother. It was rumored that she had killed a hundred times more people than Frank had.
"You, get rid of all this stuff right now! What kind of garbage is this, sticking these plasters on people? Is it even useful? Remove it!"
Lu Chen waved his hand, displaying the imposing presence of a high-ranking official yelling "Tear it down!" at a large building complex.
Not only the experts and Xu Zhou, but even Ryusei, who was leisurely filing her toenails on the sofa, was shocked.
Using those highly sophisticated biometric devices on patients like plasters? And removing them? What did this mean? Didn't he know that while those devices didn't alleviate the patient's condition, they could reflect all their physiological characteristics, allowing everyone to keep track of their latest situation?
Just like regular medical checkups, they were very important.
And he actually said to remove them!
Led by Louis and the middle-aged woman, the group of experts started grumbling angrily again. They vehemently disagreed with the plan; they wanted to be responsible for Lord Sage's life!
But Ryusei's voice came calmly: "Why aren't you dismantling it yet?"
Instantly, everyone looked at each other in dismay.
Under Ryusei's imposing presence, they began dismantling all the devices on Sage. After all, even if the sky were to fall, the 1.8-meter-tall Ryusei would hold it up.
Lu Chen, looking at Sage, his expression gradually turned serious.
