Although Xu Zhou was uneasy, he quickly put on a smiling face and said, "Young Master, the Master has woken up! He said his heart feels much better! This treatment...it's working! Hahaha! That's wonderful, I'm so excited!"
Xu Zhou was excited, of course, because the two million gambling debt was forgiven, and there was also a one million bonus.
The main experts from the health care team were also called out and questioned carefully.
They were also quite happy, saying that Master Sai Zhi had passed the critical period and was not only out of danger but also in better condition than before.
These experts breathed a huge sigh of relief. Although they were somewhat jealous of Lu Chen's abilities, they couldn't deny that if he hadn't been there today, their lives would have been in danger.
However, Lu Chen wasn't very happy. Seeing the two Chinese beauties who had served Frank being beaten so badly, he felt that Frank was hateful!
"Go ahead and hit your Australian women, not my Chinese women. You're asking for death, aren't you?"
Although he didn't recognize the two beauties, Lu Chen subconsciously considered them as his own.
Frank chuckled, picked up a glass of red wine from the large marble coffee table, sipped it lightly, and said casually, "Very good! Have him report to me on the treatment progress and how to proceed next."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Xu Zhou nodded quickly, looking at Lu Chen with a troubled expression. "This… Director Lu, perhaps… you could talk to our young master Frank?"
Lu Chen looked at Frank expressionlessly, seeing his arrogant demeanor. He knew perfectly well that Frank still wanted to show off. A cold laugh escaped his lips, and he glanced at Liu Sha, who was sitting on the other sofa, and began to explain everything in detail.
In Lu Chen's mind, he had already prepared his version of events.
He was about 40% confident he could cure Mr. Seji's heart condition, but it would take a long time, roughly ten years. This was the first time he'd seen such a bizarre heart condition. While Seji had shown some improvement earlier, it was only a temporary emergency measure, not a cure.
To cure the root cause, long-term observation and treatment were needed, with adjustments made as needed.
"Besides these ten years, medication will be needed, mainly Chinese herbs. Part of it will be to clear Seji's blood vessels, and the rest will be tonics for me."
Lu Chen spoke eloquently, glancing at the health team members, then at Xu Zhou, then at Liu Sha. But he avoided looking at Frank.
At first, Frank didn't seem to notice, but as time went on, his face turned pale and then flushed.
Damn it, he even glanced at the British police dog squatting beside him while talking, but not at me! Was he implying I was inferior to a dog? Frank's face darkened.
Lu Chenguang's mere gaze had enraged him.
"You all saw what happened just now. I alleviated Mr. Seji's condition with just my two hands. Experts see the details, laymen see the spectacle. I believe many of you here are experts, able to see the details."
Upon hearing this, the experts in the healthcare team nodded vigorously.
While they didn't possess that skill, they couldn't let anyone think they weren't experts and couldn't even see the details! Although, in reality, they could only watch the spectacle.
Lu Chen continued, "Yes, that's the secret. What I'm practicing is the traditional secret technique of our great Chinese nation—internal energy healing. I've cultivated this internal energy since childhood, for over twenty years now! During that time, I've consumed countless pure, natural treasures—thousand-year-old He Shou Wu, thousand-year-old Lingzhi, thousand-year-old ginseng, ten-thousand-year-old turtle meat…"
His expression was solemn, and his voice grew increasingly resolute, captivating everyone who listened as if hearing a legend.
Only one person was an exception: Xu Jiaqi.
She had to excuse herself to the restroom, where she laughed so hard her breasts almost collapsed.
Lu Chen spoke with increasing enthusiasm: "My master used these rare treasures to train me into the skilled healer I am today, specializing in treating intractable diseases! Just now, I used up a third of my internal energy. If it were money, I guarantee it would be worth at least a million! But I gave it away for free. However, I don't have that much capital for the upcoming treatments, so you'd better prepare all sorts of things like Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng!"
His eyes gleamed as he spoke.
What he said wasn't entirely false. For example, while he had depleted his internal energy, it was actually only one-fifteenth. Moreover, the economic value of internal energy is truly difficult to quantify. You could say a third is worth a million, or even one-fifteenth is worth a million. But the mention of Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng replenishing internal energy was quite legitimate.
As everyone knows, ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum are highly nourishing, especially those that have been aged for a certain period, which accumulate powerful vital energy. Even a tiny amount could be too much for an ordinary person, leading to nosebleeds and internal organ damage.
But why are the masters in martial arts novels able to eat an entire ginseng root without any problems?
Many people think this is just fiction, but that's not the case.
Whether in martial arts novels or in real life, martial arts practitioners and cultivators generally can eat an entire ginseng root without much harm. This is because they understand the art of guiding the flow of energy. Once these highly nourishing substances are ingested, they immediately use this method to guide their medicinal power throughout their body's meridians, circulating it continuously.
This transforms the medicinal power into the body's true energy, storing it in the dantian and major acupoints.
Ordinary people, however, don't know how to guide the flow. If they consume too much nourishing medicine, the medicinal power accumulates there, naturally leading to serious consequences.
Frank, after hearing Lu Chen's words, finally couldn't help but speak up:
"Hmph, no tonic is a problem. Don't even mention thousand-year-old ginseng, we can get you ten-thousand-year-old ginseng! Our John Wen family is worth billions, this is nothing. The problem is, ten years? Are you kidding me? Even without heart disease, my grandfather probably wouldn't live that long. Can't you use more internal energy?"
Lu Chen scoffed, looked at Xu Zhou, and said calmly:
"Uncle Xu, go tell that brainless idiot that Mr. Seji's body is very weak, his heart is very tired, so he needs gentle tonics. Go tell that brainless idiot to eat ten pig heads a day and see if he can survive! Go tell that brainless idiot that if I say it takes ten years of treatment, I can at least save Mr. Seji's life for ten years!"
These words left Xu Zhou dizzy. He looked pitifully at Frank: "You brainless... uh, Young Master Frank! No, no... not the brainless Young Master Frank, it's... it's Young Master Frank..."
Xu Zhou almost swallowed his tongue.
Frank's face darkened, his eyes bulging as if they were about to pop out: "What did you say?"
Xu Zhou slapped himself, looking even more pitiful: "I'm sorry... I'm sorry, Young Master Frank, I... I... I misspoke. Director Lu... you know what he said?"
Frank gritted his teeth, then suddenly raised his hand and slapped the head of a beautiful Chinese woman who was massaging his legs. She screamed and fell to the ground, her two white legs spread wide open.
Frank yelled viciously, "You Chinese bitch, your technique is terrible! How are you massaging me? You've hurt my legs! You won't know your place until I beat you up, will you?"
"Young Master Frank, I'm so sorry, so sorry!"
The Chinese beauty scrambled to her feet in terror, tears streaming down her face as she continued massaging Frank's legs.
Frank said disgustedly, "Stop crying! Don't let your filthy tears fall on my pants. One pair of my pants costs tens of thousands of Chinese yuan. Even if you massage my legs all day, you couldn't afford to pay for it!"
Hearing this, the Chinese beauty quickly wiped away her tears.
Lu Chen watched, a murderous glint in his eyes. He could clearly see that Frank was targeting him.
Looks like he hadn't taught him a lesson yet!
Frank glared fiercely at Lu Chen, this time without resorting to a messenger. He said, enunciating each word clearly, "Lu Chen, I know you're capable, and I admire you. But don't be so arrogant. The world is so big; arrogance gets you beaten! Don't you understand that?"
Lu Chen scratched his head and said leisurely, "Hmm, thanks for the reminder. But at least I'm not the one getting beaten for being arrogant right now!" He then joked, "Young Master Frank's face is quite rosy!"
Frank was so angry his nostrils were practically flaring. He was about to jump up and down when Liu Sha, who had been listening quietly, spoke coldly: "Frank, that's enough. Curl your arrogance. Everyone knows who's being arrogant. I don't care what unpleasant things happened between you and Director Lu before, but right now, everything is about treating Grandpa's heart condition. If you continue like this, all the credit for getting Director Lu here will be wiped out! Don't be so ungrateful!"
Frank let out a breath, gritting his teeth, and said, "Okay! Okay! Ryuzha, I'll listen to you!"
Ryuzha smiled faintly, looked at Lu Chen, and said, "Director Lu, although it's only a 40% chance of success, which is somewhat regrettable, and ten years is indeed a bit long. However, we all believe you can complete the mission. Please try to shorten the treatment time as much as possible, okay? As for the supplies you need, just like my brother said, we will provide them all!"
Lu Chen and Ryuzha exchanged glances, and he saw satisfaction deep in her eyes.
He nodded: "Okay, Miss Ryuzha is good, much better than your brother. This is what high-quality people are like! She immediately highlights the low-quality ones."
This insult made Frank's forehead veins throb. He raised his hand, intending to slap the Chinese woman massaging his shoulders again, but Lu Chen quickly spoke up again:
"Look at some people, low quality is low quality! If you're so capable, settle things face-to-face, why always find a scapegoat? A rich second-generation Australian, coming to our China, just to bully our Chinese girls. So, Australian young men like to embarrass their country like this?"
Ryuse stared at Frank: "Watch your manners!"
Frank trembled, forced to lower his hand. He was seething with hatred, wishing he could slap Lu Chen to death.
He just couldn't understand it. Although his sister Ryuse often scolded him and didn't take him seriously, it had never been this serious. A doctor he'd just met, someone he'd invited, and Ryuse was actually siding with him?
