The old man took a fleeting look around the centre and asked curiously, "Which one is Dr. Chen? It seems that everyone in the clinic is very young! Are they Dr. Chen's disciples?" The others quickly pointed it out to him. "Look, there sir. That's Dr. Chen."

"He is so young, he seems to be in his early twenties! Is he really Dr. Chen?" The old man asked in surprise.

When the others heard this, they immediately smiled and said, "Sir, you don't have to be so surprised. That is really Dr. Chen. His medical skills are even more extraordinary. He is absolutely outstanding." "Yes, sir. Have you heard about the Alstom Antibiotic? Recently, it was Dr. Chen who developed a substitute drug for it in Dragonville City. It is called the Ephedra Syrup."

"Dr. Chen saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in our city! Otherwise, poor people like us can do nothing but await our death."

Listening to the compliments from the people around him, the old man's eyes glimmered. He

looked at Fade, who was currently busy working, and he whispered, "This Dr. Chen is really quite interesting!"

Since there were fixed prescriptions for common illnesses, the medical centre handled patients very efficiently.

Before long, it was the old man's turn to see a doctor. A young doctor who looked like an apprentice asked, "Sir, what seems to be bothering you?"

"My illness may be a little complicated. Can Dr. Chen help me?" The old man requested.

The apprentice turned to look at Fade, who was still busy, and said hesitantly, "Sir, Dr. Chen is very busy. Let me test your pulse first. If it's a difficult and complicated disease that I can't treat, then I'll call Dr. Chen over. Is that all right?"

Hearing this, the old man nodded and then stretched out his arm. "Sure."

The apprentice put his fingers on the old man's wrist and began to feel his pulse.

Approximately ten seconds later, the apprentice frowned. He looked at the old man in surprise and said, "This pulse is really strange. It feels like a heart disease, but sometimes it feels like a lung disease." In the end, the apprentice was unable to come up with an accurate diagnosis. He apologized and said, "I'm really sorry, sir. I can't diagnose it. Please wait for a moment. I'll invite Dr. Chen to come over." The old man nodded. The apprentice went over and explained the situation to Fade. Then, Fade came over.

"Sir, what seems to be bothering you?" Fade asked as he sat down and began to feel the old man's pulse.

Before the old man opened his mouth, Fade suddenly frowned and looked at the old man, saying, "Strange, this pulse is indeed strange."

The old man coughed twice and asked, "Dr. Chen, may I go in and have a seat?"

Fade loosened his grip and immediately commanded, "Lead the old gentleman inside. I'll be conducting a detailed checkup."

Then, the apprentice led the old man into a room behind the counter. Fade asked the old man to sit down and checked his pulse again.

The old man coughed a few times and looked at Fade, waiting for his diagnosis.

Fade frowned and pondered. After a few minutes, he seemed to recall something and loosened his hand. He looked at the old man and said to him plainly, "You are not ill. You are very healthy. If there is nothing ailing you, sir, then I shall be taking my leave."

Upon hearing this, the old man quickly said, "Dr. Chen, you said that I'm not ill? Your diagnosis is really unbelievable! My pulse, as your apprentice has just told me, is very complicated, and I am seriously ill." Fade looked long and hard at the old man. He shook his head and said, "My student is not yet experienced enough, he made a mistake earlier. Please forgive him, sir."

"But I'm not feeling well. I am coughing and having difficulty breathing. Am I still considered to be healthy?" As the old man spoke, he coughed again."

Fade narrowed his eyes and looked at the old man. He said in a low voice, "Sir, I believe that you are well aware of the condition of your health, and whether you're sick or not. If you're here for fun, I'm sorry but I can't entertain you."

Hearing this, the old man's countenance changed slightly, but he continued to pursue the argument, "What do you mean by that? Did you say that I'm pretending to be sick and deliberately came to create trouble for you?"

"I didn't mean to say that. It's just that I'm very busy. There are still a lot of patients waiting for me outside. I beg your pardon." Fade bowed and was about to leave.

The old man snorted softly and said, "Heh, I heard from people outside that Dr. Chen from Dragonville has excellent medical skills. I didn't expect him to be so unethical."

"It seems that the rumors were true! He is indeed a profiteering businessman. If that's the case, then don't pretend to be a saint who acts kindly to the world." The old man said in a sarcastic tone. Fade, who was about to exit, frowned and halted in his step.

His apprentice's face was full of anger. He looked at the old man and said, "What are you talking about? How could you say such a thing to a kind man like Dr. Chen?"

"A kind man? I don't think so." The old man snorted, "If he is really a kind man, why did he keep the Ephedra Syrup to himself instead of using it to save countless lives out there? He obviously wants to make use of this opportunity to make money."

His words had truly provoked the apprentice. He glared at the old man and said furiously, "What nonsense are you talking about? Dr. Chen has done so much for everyone, and you are trying to lay wrongful accusations upon him. You are really ungrateful. We don't welcome people like you in here. Please leave now!"

The apprentice was about to chase the old man away.

The old man stood up and sighed, "Sure enough, the evil plan is exposed now, and you are beginning to get physical."

"Forget it, forget it. I've seen too many villains like you. I should be used to it by now." The old man shook his head with a disappointed look. "It's just a pity that those patients who were waiting for the Ephedra Syrup out there have no idea that the person who they deem as a savior, doesn't actually care about them at all."

"Shut up! Get out of here!" The apprentice was so angry that his cheeks were flushed. He glared at the old man and shouted at him.

The old man turned to leave. At this moment, Fade had a sudden realization and he asked, "What do you mean I kept the Ephedra Syrup to myself?"

Hearing this, the old man turned to look at Fade and said, "What do I mean? Don't you know what I mean? Do you really want me to say it out?"

"I really don't know what you mean! I would like to hear what you have to say," Fade said.

The old man's face immediately became serious, "Since you said so, then I'll tell you."

"Some time ago, the shortage of Alstom Antibiotics caused a great turbulence in the entire Chinese medical industry. Medical expenses were rising, and people were living a miserable life."

"Right at that critical moment, I heard that someone in the country had managed to develop a substitute drug. I was overjoyed and thought that many lives could be saved. I didn't expect for this to turn out to be just another Bald Eagle Pharma episode."

The old man sighed. He glanced at Fade and continued to speak.
