My White and Rich Beautiful CEO Wife-Chapter 727: Sure Win
"Hmm...."
Divine Doctor Su stroked his beard and gently rotated his eyes, beginning to play with a little abacus in his mind.
His clinic, if one were to just tally the price of the property and the medicinal materials, wouldn’t exceed fifty million.
However, the superior Qi Replenishing Pill in Qin Yu’s hands was worth at least one billion. Mainly, the ginseng within it was incredibly rare. Even in his entire lifetime as a doctor, he had only seen three hundred-year-old ginseng once.
If he could win this Qi Replenishing Pill, whether he auctioned it off or gifted it, there would be people fighting over it. If he could also crack the formula and replicate it, the benefits would be even more tantalizing.
Thinking this, Divine Doctor Su nodded and said, "Betting is fine, but if you win, you must take down the signboard of Hui Sheng Tang and I will take it away!"
"Hehe, agreed!"
Qin Yu smiled and nodded.
This old fox was playing a good game of chess. The clinic itself wasn’t worth much; it was the "Hui Sheng Tang" signboard and his, Divine Doctor Su’s, reputation that were valuable.
It was like coveting a company with a big name, wanting to gamble with them, but they stipulate if you lose, you can’t use their brand. In essence, even if you won, you’d only win a building.
Divine Doctor Su was banking on this very idea. If he lost, at most he’d lose a building. He could simply find another place, hang up the "Hui Sheng Tang" signboard, and continue running a clinic.
"Fine, tell me how you want to gamble!"
Seeing Qin Yu agree and that he could take the signboard, Divine Doctor Su lost any worries he might have had.
Win or lose, he was already on invincible ground.
"Let’s bet on her then!"
Qin Yu pointed at Park Jiaren, who had already dressed and come out from behind the screen.
"What do you mean? How could Miss Park possibly be a stake for your gamble? Have you lost your mind?"
Bao Yu’s mouth was, as ever, obnoxious, wishing she could drown anyone she disliked with her saliva.
"Are you insulting me? Divine Doctor Du, tell him who I am!"
Park Jiaren tilted her chin up, radiating a sense of superiority from head to toe.
"Using Miss Park as a stake might be..."
But before Divine Doctor Su could finish his sentence, Qin Yu interrupted him and said indifferently, "I’m not using her as a stake; a hundred or so pounds of flesh isn’t worth much. I’m betting on her illness."
"Are you looking for a slap?"
Bao Yu rolled up her sleeves, fierce and clawing.
What’s this about a hundred or so pounds of flesh, is he calling Park Jiaren a pig?
"Then you try it!"
Qin Yu glanced sideways at Bao Yu, feeling the urge to slap her himself, let alone Pei Luoyan with her quick temper.
"You..."
Facing Qin Yu’s cold gaze, Bao Yu involuntarily stepped back. Over the past year, Qin Yu’s hands had claimed more than a few lives.
That look in his eyes carried a hint of killer intent, and Bao Yu, an ordinary woman, naturally couldn’t withstand it.
"Oh, I get it now. You mean, we’re competing on who can cure Miss Park, right?"
Divine Doctor Su stroked his beard, turned his head to Park Jiaren, and said, "I think this proposal makes sense. I have made a preliminary diagnosis of your condition, and it’s indeed a bit tricky. Whoever treats you, in the end, you are the beneficiary!"
"Then... okay!"
Seeing Divine Doctor Su agree, Park Jiaren nodded in acceptance.
She had sought treatment from Divine Doctor Du in Jinling without much success. Coming to Divine Doctor Su in Capital City was her last hope. If even he couldn’t cure her, she feared she would have to endure a life of intermittent, agonizing headaches like silver needles piercing through her nerves.
"Miss Park has no objections, so now the question is, who will treat Miss Park first?"
Divine Doctor Su looked at Qin Yu and asked.
"This is your turf, of course you go first!"
Qin Yu made a ’please’ gesture.
"Hmm... You can produce a Qi Replenishing Pill, and dare to bet on medical skills with me, certainly, you must not be a nobody. I am Su Guanzhong, may I know your name?"
Su Divine Doctor, now treating Qin Yu as an equal, slightly cupped his hands in greeting.
"Qin Yu, the Qin of Qin Shi Huang, the Yu of jade."
Qin Yu reported his false identity.
"Qin Yu, yet another person with the surname Qin. No wonder she’s so bothersome!" freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Bao Yu pursed her lips, definitely not forgetting the embarrassment Qin Yu had caused her at the restaurant the night before. It had given her the subconscious notion that anyone with the surname Qin was up to no good.
"Qin Yu... your master is?"
Divine Doctor Su thought for a moment. Among his peers, he didn’t recognize the name Qin Yu, but judging by those two Qi Replenishing Pills, his master must be quite exceptional.
"A nobody, not worth mentioning!"
Since his grandfather had passed away, Qin Yu did not want to mention his name in front of others.
"Alright then, please wait for a moment longer, and once Mr. Qin and I determine the winner, we can resume normal business!"
Divine Doctor Su nodded, did not probe any deeper, and after cupping his hands to the patients in line, he went behind the partition to prepare acupuncture for Park Jiaren.
"Looking at this situation, is Divine Doctor Su really going to bet with that person?"
"Yes, it’s been many years since Divine Doctor Su has bet on his medical skills with anyone. That indicates that the other party must be quite skilled!"
"It’s a pity we can’t see what’s going on behind the partition to see exactly how they’re betting!"
A group of patients in line stretched their necks and began discussing amongst themselves.
At this moment.
Behind the partition.
Park Jiaren once again took off her outer garment, dressed only in her underclothes, and laid down on the sickbed. She was indeed a very proud woman; even when ordinary men glanced at her from afar, she felt it was a defilement.
However, she could not be proud in front of Divine Doctor Su. He was her only hope. If even Divine Doctor Su could not cure her, her life would be over.
"Miss Park, I’m going to start with the needles. It may hurt a bit at first, just bear with it!"
Divine Doctor Su twirled the silver needle in his hand, addressing Park Jiaren.
Although Park Jiaren’s skin was very pale, like milk, with a beautifully curved figure, the seventy-plus-year-old Divine Doctor Su was long past the age of being interested in women.
"Alright, I know!"
Park Jiaren responded.
"Fengmen Point!"
"Shenting Point!"
"Gao Huang Point!"
Divine Doctor Su truly had real skill; the silver needle in his hand turned into a flash of silver light, piercing accurately into Park Jiaren’s back.
Soon, the twenty silver needles were all used up.
"Quick, the last needle!"
With a gesture from Divine Doctor Su, his apprentice immediately came forward holding a tray with a single, forty-centimeter long silver needle on it.
Once it was in his hand, his entire demeanor became even more solemn and serious, like a warrior wielding his sword, ready to deliver a lethal strike.
"Shenting Point!"
Divine Doctor Su’s wrist flicked, and the forty-centimeter silver needle pierced at least ten centimeters into the top of Park Jiaren’s head.
"Huh..."
With the needle set, Divine Doctor Su also breathed a sigh of relief, stroking his beard as he observed Park Jiaren’s reaction.
Seeing that she remained prone without adverse reactions, he felt somewhat more at ease.
It looks like today’s win was assured for him!
