As soon as these words were spoken, many people in the ward changed their expressions. Most of the people in this ward were doctors from the sanatorium, and they all looked at Li Se in disbelief. How could he dare to say such a thing? He was going to offend Tang Xiaochen!
Tang Xiaochen’s status was not ordinary. He was the diamond magnate of Jiangnan Province, and even ranked among the top in the entire Huaxia. The whole sanatorium did not dare to offend him easily. As a result, this kid came, and without even a check-up, he took a look and said, "prepare for the funeral." This was clearly causing trouble.
"Presumptuous! Are you a doctor? Without even a check-up, you're telling people to prepare for the funeral. Are you joking with the patient?"
"This kind of person should be kicked out immediately. I seriously suspect he's not a doctor at all!"
"If he's really a doctor, he should make every effort, not just take one look and say to prepare for the funeral!"
"..."
Many doctors began to curse Li Se. Even though Li Se was introduced by Ao Long, they would not be polite at all.
At this time, Ao Long was also breaking out in a cold sweat. Especially when he noticed Tang Xiaochen's displeased expression, he quickly said, "Master Li, could you be mistaken? Shall we check again? Even a pulse check would do."
Even a big figure like Ao Long couldn't afford to offend Tang Xiaochen. Li Se was brought by him, and if he angered Tang Xiaochen, he would naturally be implicated. He was almost crying. Master Li, even if you have to prepare for the funeral, you don't have to be so direct, do you? Couldn't you be more tactful?
"There's no need to check your pulse again. Prepare for the funeral!" Li Se said very seriously.
Ao Long was sweating profusely. It's over, it's over. This time, he's really going to offend Tang Xiaochen. Can't this Li Se hear that I'm trying to smooth things over?
Tang Xiaochen looked at Li Se, his face somber. After a long time, he said in a deep voice, "Without even a check-up, you're telling me to prepare for the funeral. Isn't that a bit too hasty?"
Ao Long, afraid that Li Se would say something about preparing for the funeral again, quickly interjected, "Mr. Tang, perhaps Master Li is mistaken. How about letting the sanatorium doctors examine him first."
"Yes, Mr. Tang, let us examine him first."
"I suspect this kid isn't a doctor at all. You don't need to take his words too seriously!"
"..."
Several doctors echoed him.
Tang Xiaochen was about to nod, but at this moment, Li Se spoke, "The doctors at the sanatorium are profit-oriented. Even if they find out that you need to prepare for the funeral, they will keep making you spend money until the last moment of your life. This will allow them to earn a lot of money!"
"Nonsense!" The director of the sanatorium said angrily, "Our sanatorium is naturally focused on the patient's health. Even if there is a glimmer of hope, we will not give up. In comparison, are you a doctor? You're probably just graduated at this age, and you dare to be so arrogant here. Do you know that the doctors present here are all authoritative? What qualifications do you have to tell the patient's family to prepare for the funeral?"
Tang Xiaochen's expression turned somber again. Li Se had repeatedly said that his father was dying. Even with his composure, he couldn't take it anymore. He said grimly, "Kid, if you don't give me a proper explanation today, you won't be able to leave this sanatorium."
Ao Long said bitterly, "Master Li, please don't say anything rash."
Li Se remained calm and said, "It's very simple. He has already presented the Five Decays of Heaven and Man. Even if an immortal came, they would be helpless."
"What are the Five Decays of Heaven and Man?" Ao Long asked, confused.
Several doctors frowned. They had indeed heard of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man. This was traditional Chinese medicine, but it seemed a bit too metaphysical.
Li Se explained, "The so-called Five Decays of Heaven and Man refers to clothes becoming soiled, flowers on the head withering, sweat flowing from the armpits, the body becoming foul, and not enjoying the seat. It refers to the heavenly beings in the desire realm and the form realm who exhibit five unusual phenomena when their lifespan is about to end!"
"What kind of nonsense is this? This is pure fabrication!" The director roared.
"This is completely absurd. How can we believe such ghost talk?"
"Mr. Tang, leave it to us, we will definitely treat him well!"
"..."
The doctors did not take Li Se's words seriously at all. The Five Decays of Heaven and Man was complete nonsense.
Little did they know, Tang Xiaochen's expression had changed several times. Before coming to the sanatorium, he had consulted a local traditional Chinese medicine practitioner in his hometown. That practitioner had also said the same thing, saying that his father was suffering from the Five Decays of Heaven and Man. To his surprise, at this very moment, he heard it again. Could it be that Li Se was right, and he really needed to prepare for the funeral?
"That's all I have to say. I am a doctor, not an immortal. I cannot defy the laws of life and death!" Li Se prepared to take his leave.
"Is there any way to extend his life?" A trace of pain appeared on Tang Xiaochen's face. "No matter what the cost, how much money you want, I can give it to you, as long as you can extend my father's life!"
As soon as Tang Xiaochen said this, it was enough to show that he had believed Li Se's words. This also made the doctors at the sanatorium look displeased.
The director immediately said, "Mr. Tang, why listen to his nonsense? I will immediately arrange the best medical equipment to examine Mr. Tang. We will definitely find a way to let Mr. Tang live a little longer!"
"Yes, why believe a young man? He's a liar!"
"I think he's a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. Heh heh, is there such a young traditional Chinese medicine practitioner?"
"Mr. Tang, you can't believe the words of a villain."
"..."
Several doctors persuaded him one after another.
This Tang Xiaochen was a super-rich man. Once he received treatment at the sanatorium, their sanatorium could increase its income significantly, so they had to keep this rich man.
But Tang Xiaochen seemed not to hear them. He just stared at Li Se, his eyes filled with pleading.
Li Se sighed softly and shook his head, "There is no way. You should prepare for the funeral. Moreover, he is in great pain now. Instead of living in such pain, it's better to die more comfortably!"
His words were harsh, but they were the truth.
Tang Xiaochen looked at his father. Indeed, that old face was filled with pain, and he was struggling. He was very uncomfortable in his heart, and at the same time, his expression turned grim. He said, "Ao Long, is this the doctor you brought?"
He had been begging Ao Long earlier, but now he had suddenly changed his tune.
This caught Ao Long off guard. He thought this matter should have passed, but he didn't expect Tang Xiaochen to hold him accountable now.
"I..." Ao Long hadn't had time to say anything.
"Mr. Tang, life and death are fated. If you don't believe me, you can let the sanatorium try. That's all I have to say. Goodbye!" Li Se didn't need to cater to this Tang Xiaochen. After saying that, he turned to leave.
But at this moment, two men in suits blocked the door of the ward. A young man who looked very much like Tang Xiaochen walked in. He coldly snorted, "Did my father say you could leave? If you don't extend my grandfather's lifespan today, don't even think about leaving!"
