Chapter 463: These Medical Skills are Incredible!
Manager Liu felt a wave of regret. I really should have investigated first to see if this is someone I can afford to offend. I’ve been too reckless!
"Ahem, let’s investigate first, then," Manager Liu said, coughing dryly. It’s better late than never. I don’t know if I can still salvage this, but I have to try.
"What’s there to investigate? This kid not only impersonated the chairman, but he also dared to hit people—he hit me, he hit you! He’s completely lawless and must be severely punished. In my opinion, we should tie him up and beat him first!" Lin Heng shouted.
Manager Liu forced a smile. "Manager Lin, I’ll definitely get to the bottom of what happened, but you have to give me some time. If we get the wrong person, I’ll lose my job. It’s different for you. If you lose this job, your family is still very wealthy. I’m not like that. I have kids at home waiting to be fed and a mother in her seventies. I can’t lose this job, so I hope you understand! Of course, you can rest assured that if the investigation proves he’s at fault, I promise I won’t let him off easily!"
"Fine, but make it quick! Do the questioning right here!" Lin Heng said impatiently.
"Manager Liu, this kid just needs a beating! You won’t get anything out of him just by asking!" Lin Qiang chimed in from the side.
Manager Liu frowned. This Lin Qiang has no manners. Lin Heng has spoiled him rotten.
Before he could begin his questioning, Yang Qi spoke up. "There’s no need to ask. I’m the chairman of the National Medicine Association. Just get Yao Ran or Chen Guo over here. They’ll recognize me."
"Pah!" Lin Heng scoffed. "Who do you think you’re fooling? You’re about to die and you’re still spouting nonsense! What arrogance! The height of arrogance! Manager Liu, I say we skip the questions. Just beat him!"
"Calm down! Calm down!" Manager Liu placated Lin Heng, then gestured to a security guard, signaling him to call a vice-chairman—either Yao Ran or Chen Guo would do.
His scalp tingled with dread. If this young man really was the chairman, the repercussions would be enormous. But if he wasn’t, it was still his security department’s responsibility. Why am I so unlucky?
He sighed and looked at Yang Qi. "Young man, you have a bright future and a long life ahead of you. Don’t be so stubborn. Even if you don’t talk, we can find out the truth. You might as well confess now, and I can count it as turning yourself in. Don’t answer right away. Think about it carefully!"
Yang Qi chuckled. I can’t believe he’s using a line on me straight out of a movie’s interrogation scene.
He shook his head and said, "I have nothing to say. You’ve got a big head on your shoulders. Can’t you use it? Who in their right mind would come to the National Medicine Association just to impersonate the chairman?"
Manager Liu froze, unsure for a moment whether he was being insulted or reasoned with. But... he has a point. Of all things, why impersonate the chairman of the National Medicine Association? That’s a major crime! And who would do it like this, just showing up in a tracksuit?
Manager Liu glanced out the door. Seeing no movement, he gritted his teeth. "Our chairman’s medical skills are exquisite and second to none. Since you claim to be him, prove your skills to me!"
Yang Qi smiled and glanced at Manager Liu. "Manager Liu, you were in a fight last night, weren’t you? You injured your ribs. It’s not too serious, but you really need to get some rest."
"What!" Manager Liu shot to his feet, his eyes bulging as he stared at Yang Qi.
He figured that out with just a glance? No pulse-taking or anything? It has to be a lucky guess, right? Otherwise, this is just too miraculous. Last night, I had a few drinks and got into an argument that turned into a fight. My ribs were struck with a club. While the injury wasn’t serious, it still aches dully. How could he have known that if he isn’t a doctor? The thing is, even a CT scan wouldn’t show anything. It just hurts, and the doctor only told me to rest, saying there was no treatment for it unless it got worse.
"I don’t believe it! You must have guessed!" Manager Liu shouted to a security guard. "Zhang! Get over here! Let him take a look at you!"
Just as the guard was about to step forward, Yang Qi spoke. "You don’t need to come over. Lately, have you been feeling a constant urge to go to the bathroom, but you can’t? I’ll write you a prescription. Get the medicine, and you’ll feel the effects immediately. I guarantee you’ll be completely better in three days! And remember to cut back on spicy food in the future; too much of it is bad for you."
"Thank you, thank you! Doctor, you’re incredible!" The security guard was so grateful he almost forgot they were in the middle of an interrogation.
Manager Liu’s heart sank. I’m almost certain now. This young man is no ordinary person. Even if he isn’t the chairman, he’s definitely a Divine Doctor. To diagnose an illness with just a glance... that’s simply a miraculous skill.
"You bastard, do you think this is your clinic?" Lin Heng yelled again. "A Jianghu quack impersonating the chairman. You’re really getting into the role, aren’t you?"
"Manager Lin, can you please shut up?" Working in security had made Manager Liu adept at reading people, and he knew who to avoid provoking. In this short time, he had already seen the signs. Yang Qi is definitely no ordinary person. He’s not someone to be messed with.
"W-what did you say?" Lin Heng was stunned. What’s with Manager Liu? Why is he suddenly telling me off?
Manager Liu had no time for him. He turned to Yang Qi and said, "Sir, I was just doing my job. I hope you won’t hold it against me. I was reckless just now. I was wrong, and I apologize. As you know, our line of work isn’t easy."
"I understand," Yang Qi replied with a smile.
Manager Liu breathed a sigh of relief. I still can’t confirm if he’s the chairman of the National Medicine Association, but I’m sure he’s not a criminal. Being polite can’t hurt.
Just then, his eyes landed on Chen Baixiang as she turned her head. For a moment, he was scared witless. "Miss... Miss Chen! W-what are you doing here?"
"Oh, I’m helping the chairman organize his office," Chen Baixiang said casually.
BOOM! Manager Liu felt as if he had been struck by lightning. Now there’s no doubt! He is the chairman of the National Medicine Association! Chen Baixiang would definitely know him!
"You bitch, how dare you speak up for him? Are you that desperate to be the chairman’s wife?" Before Manager Liu could recover from his shock, Lin Qiang started sneering again. "No, wait, you slut. You must have been fooled, too! Offering yourself up to him so eagerly, have you no shame?"
"Smash that little bastard’s mouth in for me!" Manager Liu roared.
"Yes, that’s right! Smash his mouth! Let’s see if he dares to lie again!" Lin Qiang assumed Manager Liu was talking about Yang Qi and smugly cheered him on.
Then, a sharp slap landed across his face.
