Chapter 724 Mu Haiqing Was Stubborn

Qin Haodong was about to say something, but the sound of footsteps came from the doorway. Then more than a dozen people came in, led by a middle-aged man in a jacket. He was about 50 years old and looked bony, but he was in good spirits.

This man was Shao Weimin, the first deputy minister of the Ministry of Health of Huaxia. Next to him was a white man with blond hair and blue eyes. He was dressed in a suit and looked meticulous. He talked to Shao Weimin in fluent Chinese while walking.

This man was James, Qin Haodong’s titular disciple as well as the cardiopulmonary expert of the World Medical Association. He had been practicing Chinese hard, so he was much more fluent in Chinese than before. If you closed your eyes, you wouldn’t realize that this man who was speaking Chinese was actually a foreigner.

Behind them were more than a dozen doctors in white coats, all of whom were top cardiopulmonary experts in the capital.

At the sight of these people, Mu Haiqing and Li Shuai immediately went up to them and welcomed them into the ward.

With these people present, Qin Haodong and Li Shuai realized that this was not a good opportunity to persuade Mu Haiqing to accept the traditional Chinese medicine. So they just stood quietly in a corner to see if these experts had any good ideas.

James, who was surrounded by others, didn’t see Qin Haodong standing next to them.

Li Shuai ran up to James as soon as he saw him, saying “Teacher, welcome here.”

He had worked with James for a period of time when he was studying in M Country. He was one of James’s many students.

But James’s attitude was quite cold. He just nodded slightly without saying anything else. He looked more like an expert hired by the Ministry of Health, and it seemed that they had nothing to do with each other.

After a simple greeting, Shao Weimin checked on Old Master Mu with James, and then said to Li Shuai, “Please introduce Master Mu’s situation to all the experts.”

Li Shuai was obviously excited to make an introduction in front of so many experts. He wanted to show off to Hua Mingrui, but he didn’t find her even after looking around the entire room.

Of course, he couldn’t waste too much time now. He immediately gave up, cleared his throat, and began to make an introduction.

“Mr. Mu’s main trouble is his lung. When he was young, he didn’t receive full treatment after being injured, and his condition became even worse after catching a cold.

“Now his lung vein is thicker, the left Costodiaphragmatic angle becomes blunt while the left pleura thickens and adheres, accompanied by effusion. The left upper lung has old pulmonary tuberculosis, and the activity is limited. The lung lobes tend to atrophy, and the pulmonary fibrosis intensifies…”

James and the other experts looked quite relaxed at the beginning. But after listening to Li Shuai’s introduction, their faces all clouded over. They all frowned when they heard that the lung lobes had begun to atrophy and the pulmonary fibrosis had intensified.

After listening to Li Shuai’s introduction, James checked the examination materials in detail once again. Finally, he put it down gloomily and said to Shao Weimin, “Minister Shao, I’m sorry. The patient’s condition has deteriorated to a certain extent, and there is nothing I can do.”

The other experts also nodded in agreement. They were all famous doctors, but not all diseases could be cured. They could do nothing about Old Master Mu’s disease.

Shao Weimin had devoted intense efforts to invite James to check on Old Master Mu, and he had great hopes in this man. But now James said that there was nothing he could do. He immediately said, “Mr. James, you are a cardiopulmonary expert, and Mr. Mu is a hero of our country. Please save him.”

James shrugged and said, “Minister Shao, I’m really sorry. But we’re equal before illness. His lung disease is really serious and I can do nothing about it.”

He was speaking in the Huaxia language, so Mu Haiqing immediately understood what he had said. When he heard that his father had no hope, he said anxiously, “Doctor James, please find a way to save my father. Please help him at all costs.”

James was about to refuse, but he hesitated for a moment and finally said, “In fact, there is a way. If you can find my teacher, maybe he can take Master Mu back from death with his great medical skills.”

In order to win the favor of Hua Mingrui, Li Shuai was quite positive in front of the Mu family. He stepped forward and said, “Teacher, please tell me. Where is your master? I can invite him to come here.”

“I’m here!”

Seeing that these experts could do nothing about it and the old master was critically ill now, Qin Haodong knew that he couldn’t waste any time. He stood out directly from the side.

When he finished speaking, all the people present looked in the direction of his voice. Only then did they see Qin Haodong and Hua Mingrui, who were standing in the corner.

Mu Haiqing frowned and was irritated. He didn’t expect that his niece’s boyfriend was so unreliable. How dare he make jokes at this critical moment?

Before he could say anything, Li Shuai rushed over and shouted to Qin Haodong, “How dare you humiliate me in public?”

Qin Haodong smiled and said, “I’m not humiliating you. I’m indeed your master’s master.”

“What do you mean?” With so many experts present, Li Shuai was irritated after being teased several times by Qin Haodong. Besides, Hua Mingrui was also here. He waved his fist and was about to beat Qin Haodong.

But suddenly a big hand reached out and grabbed his wrist, “He’s my master.”

James stopped Li Shuai and strode over to Qin Haodong. He made a low bow and said respectfully, “Master, what brings you here?”

“What? Master?”

If James were not a well-known cardiopulmonary expert of the World Medical Association, the others would have probably burst into laughter. This young man was about 20 years old, while James was in his 40s. Why did he treat this young man so respectfully?

Shao Weimin and Mu Haiqing, who were standing aside, were also full of confusion. They didn’t know what was going on.

Standing next to them, Li Shuai was even more confused. He didn’t understand what had happened.

He tried to calm down and said to James, “Master, are you mistaken? This guy is not a doctor at all. He is just a security guard.”

James straightened up and said to him sharply, “What are you talking about? Master does have a security company, but he’s also the famous Medical Sage in Jiangnan. He’s the most outstanding doctor in our times.

“I’m telling you, you must apologize to Master now, or I will not be your teacher anymore.”

“What…”

Li Shuai didn’t know what was going on, but he felt that he was greatly wronged. This guy had mentioned that he was a security guard, and why did James blame him? They used to be rivals in love, and how did Qin suddenly become his master’s master?

Qin Haodong didn’t say anything. He just looked at Li Shuai with great interest and wondered what he would do.

If he apologized, he would have to abandon his dignity. But if he refused James, he would lose his interests.

After all, James was a core member of the World Medical Association as well as a cardiopulmonary expert. His name was a gold brand, and being his student would bring him great benefits and honor at least in the medical industry.

Li Shuai hesitated for a long time but finally chose to lower his head and apologized to Qin Haodong, saying, “I’m sorry, Grandmaster. I made a huge mistake.”

Qin Haodong shook his head silently. If Li Shuai insisted on protecting his dignity, it would at least prove that he was sincere about Hua Mingrui and was worthy of his admiration. Unfortunately, he finally chose benefits and gave up his dignity.

“Forget it.”

He waved his hand and didn’t want to argue with such a person.

Li Shuai stepped aside silently. He knew that he was not qualified to pursue Hua Mingrui anymore.

Hearing that Qin Haodong was the famous doctor that James had mentioned, a hint of joy flashed across Mu Haiqing’s face. He said to Hua Mingrui, “You little girl, why didn’t you tell me the truth? Your boyfriend is a famous doctor, so why did you tell us that he’s a security guard? Don’t you want to treat your grandfather?”

Hua Mingrui said hesitantly, “Uncle, I asked Haodong to hide his identity because… he is a Chinese medicine practitioner.”

“Just forget it. Since Little Qin’s medical skills are excellent, let him treat Old Master now. We can give him anything he wants if he can cure father…” Mu Haiqing said urgently. But suddenly he came to his senses and his face clouded over. “What? Chinese medicine practitioner?”

Hua Mingrui nodded. “Yes, Haodong is a Chinese medicine practitioner.”

“Get out of here. Chinese medicine practitioners are not welcome here.”

Mu Haiqing pointed at the door and spoke harshly. It was obvious that he had a deep prejudice against traditional Chinese medicine.

“Uncle, what are you doing? I invited Haodong to treat Grandpa…”

“Shut up! Traditional Chinese medicine can’t cure diseases at all. He’s a liar.” Mu Haiqing said sternly, “Get him out of here now. Chinese medicine practitioners are not welcome here.”

Before Qin Haodong could say anything, James shouted with great anger, “Why are you so rude? Why do you have a prejudice against traditional Chinese medicine? It’s a magical skill, and my master is the best doctor. There is no disease that he can’t cure.”

The other experts were stunned at this sight. A Huaxia person with yellow hair and black eyes repelled traditional Chinese medicine hysterically while a white man with blond hair and blue eyes tried his best to defend traditional Chinese medicine. It was so funny.

At this time, Shao Weimin stood out, took two steps forward, and said to Qin Haodong, “Young man, are you Qin Haodong, the head of Tangmen Traditional Chinese Medicine Company, who has invented the Blood Revival Elixir and the Jiubao Kidney-nourishing Pill?”

Qin Haodong nodded and replied, “Yes, Minister Shao.”

“What a promising young man. You have won glory for our Huaxia people. On behalf of four million leukemia patients, I have to offer great thanks to you.”

Shao Weimin bowed to Qin Haodong as he spoke. His bow was not for himself, but for all the leukemia patients in Huaxia. The Blood Revival Elixir saved their lives and countless families at the same time.

As the first deputy minister of the Ministry of Health, he knew all the details of the Blood Revival Elixir. He was clear that this young man didn’t earn a penny through making the pill and it was sold at cost price.

He admired the kind of doctor who really cared about his patients. He had always wanted to go to Jiangnan to visit the Medical Sage, but he didn’t expect that he could meet him today.

Qin Haodong immediately helped Shao Weimin up. “Minister Shao, you’re flattering me. I just did what a doctor should do.”

“Young man, you’re neither arrogant nor impatient. That’s great!” Shao Weimin looked back at Mu Haiqing and said, “Brother Mu, the Medical Sage is a gold signboard.

“He cured Old Maldini’s head tumor without a scalpel and created medical miracles one after another. Besides, the Blood Revival Elixir he developed saved thousands of leukemia patients. Mr. Mu’s life is in danger now. I think you should let him have a try.”

Everyone thought that Mu Haiqing would definitely accept the offer since Minister Shao had made a guarantee for Qin Haodong. But he shook his head firmly again and said, “No!”
