Chapter 487: Old Man’s Gone (Part Two)
Minister Ye was rendered speechless by his dad, but he couldn’t help it, that was just his dad’s temper. He bitterly smiled as he stood up and asked everyone to go out to the yard beside the four other elders. Then, at the front yard, he told everyone the old man’s request, and those guys obviously didn’t dare to be dissatisfied by the request. They all left out of the front gate.
After coming back, he curiously asked Xu Cheng in a low voice, “What did you say to the old man? Look at how excited he became.”
“Not much, I just said that since he’s gonna die anyway, he might as well let me give it a try to cure him. The result obviously can’t be much worse than now.”
Minister Ye: “You studied medicine before?”
Xu Cheng: “I’ve been learning it since I went away this time.”
Minister Ye: “Why did you go into medicine all of a sudden? You suddenly found your conscience and want to save lives now?”
Xu Cheng awkwardly coughed. “No, it’s to understand human biology to kill better in the future.”
Minister Ye: “…”
“Uncle Ye, can you invite these three doctors out too? I don’t want them to step up and judge my methods. The old man doesn’t have much time left, so I don’t have time to argue with the three doctors.”
Minister Ye: “That might not be possible. They are also responsible for assessing for a death report after the old man passes away.”
“Forget it, I will do it myself then.” Then, Xu Cheng went to the bedside and said to those three doctors, “Uncles(TL note: a polite way to address people one generation older than you in China), do you feel that the old man can still be rescued?”
The three of them exchanged a look and shook their heads. “We’ve tried our best, it was already not easy to help him extend his days to now. But, as long as Elder Ye isn’t dead, we won’t give up, and we will do everything possible to keep him breathing.”
“Then can you let me try?” Xu Cheng said.
“What did you say?” The three of them were shocked. “Who do you think Elder Ye is? A random cat or dog on the streets? Let you try? What formality is that?”
