Chapter 2837 Exposing the Frauds

The audience below the stage were at a loss for words, all of them were dumbstruck. During the diagnosis, they clearly saw Li Yifei diagnose the illness just through pulse examination, without any other method. Even the few words he said were unrelated to the diagnosis. Could he really diagnose the patient’s condition like this?

This was simply miraculous. Many people were left speechless, staring wide-eyed, waiting for the upcoming revelation.

A person contracted HIV and the veteran could determine this through pulse examination. This was truly impressive. Of course, some immediately argued that the veteran might have noticed the woman’s skin color, physical condition, or even her sores, because she was wearing little. But those sitting close quickly rebutted, saying the woman showed no visible symptoms, so how could there be such comments.

Additionally, the video showed that relying on eyesight would be impossible.

Li Yifei’s expression remained calm, unaffected. However, Elder Hu and others were somewhat intimidated. To them, immediately diagnosing HIV is a rare occurrence, given they aren’t human X-ray machines nor equipped with laboratory tools, they can only judge based on outward signs.

Yet Li Yifei could directly ascertain the illness, which was also unbelievable to Elder Hu and others, so they inevitably felt shocked.

The results of the ensuing competition came out quickly. Elder Hu and others’ diagnoses may not be extremely accurate, but were sufficient for the on-the-spot evaluation.

Shock was written all over He Ming’s old face. He stared at Li Yifei, clearly this result far exceeded his expectations. That richest man Li, not only wealthy but also truly skilled in medicine!

That’s it. He Ming’s face turned ashen, his body on the chair slightly trembled involuntarily. He no longer wanted to hear the remaining results; out of the twelve people, based on his pulse diagnoses, he believed he could diagnose five or six people accurately, and that was already his limit. After all, relying solely on pulse diagnosis without inquiring about medical history makes guessing more difficult... indeed, it’s guessing, because his medical skills are truly limited, unlike Elder Hu and others who possess real talent and have intensely studied this field.

The audience below the stage and those in front of the TV had mixed feelings. Those who supported Li Yifei now began celebrating, while those who supported He Ming and others were conflicted. If an amateur like Li Yifei, who only knows a bit of medicine, can diagnose better than Elder He and others, and with higher accuracy, then wouldn’t this really mean Elder He and others are frauds, even if they have Traditional Chinese Medicine Techniques but are certainly not highly proficient?

Yan Qiu, He Ming, and even Wang Dafu who didn’t have the chance to appear, all looked ashen-faced. Under the watch of so many people, judged by industry authorities, their medical skills were fully exposed. The title of Master Physician fell completely to the ground, trampled under Li Yifei’s foot.

The final result of the second match showed He Ming’s diagnoses were entirely incorrect, yes, not a single patient’s condition was fully accurate. This wasn’t to say his diagnoses were wrong, but because Li Yifei’s diagnoses were even more accurate, even labeling some minor ailments. Compared to He Ming’s formulaic talk, the former was evidently more remarkable, leaving the audience impressed despite themselves.

Making such a fuss, doing so many things, engaging in a tense competition, what’s the veteran’s motive? Surely he’s not attempting to practice medicine? Even if Li Yifei says so, netizens wouldn’t believe, after all, the medical skills of a billionaire aren’t affordable for ordinary people.

So, what’s his motive? Isn’t it just to expose a few frauds? The matter is this simple. How much money have these scammers amassed over the years through deceit? Netizens only speak in fragments, naturally unaware, but subsequent investigations could reveal this.

After the announcement, Li Yifei stood from his seat, accepted the microphone from the host, first smiled without glancing at He Ming and others, and addressed the audience both at the venue and in front of the TV: "Dear friends, I did this not to defame Traditional Chinese Medicine, because what I used were also Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnostic methods, and frankly, I am not proficient, I’m merely superficially acquainted. When diagnosing, I added much personal judgement, and the diagnosis reports were written in plain language, so I am not a professional!"

Upon saying this, there was a mad applause throughout the venue. What defines a Master Physician, what defines authority? You prove your medical skills, you prove you indeed have the capability, it’s hard for others not to believe, just like the reason behind the work Li Yifei did today.

The applause lasted several seconds, Li Yifei gestured to quieten the crowd and then continued: "However, compared to my slight medical skills, I’m afraid the so-called Master Physicians are indeed unqualified. The basic diagnostic methods of Traditional Chinese Medicine, inspection, listening, questioning, and pulse examination, at least the two Master Physicians present have shown no ability to diagnose illnesses. Please forgive my straightforward nature. After all, I’m a soldier, inherently straightforward, I say what I mean, if it’s one then it’s one, if it’s two then it’s two. Like He Ming, if we met on a bus, I’d definitely give you my seat if I had one. But in terms of Traditional Chinese Medicine Techniques, I really can’t respect you. Especially since medicine is inherently for treating and saving lives. I respect and tolerate you, but this might lead to patients being harmed by you. Moreover, when I think of how many people you’ve deceived throughout these years under the prestigious title of Master Physician, I and my friends at the venue and online may not feel too good."

To strike the heart, these words indeed pierced the heart. Li Yifei could choose not to say, but saying them is only natural.

Of course, in the hearts of He Ming and others, they wouldn’t think this way. Including those who still believe them to be Master Physicians, Yan Qiu slammed the table, face flushed as he pointed at Li Yifei shouting: "Li Yifei, stop talking nonsense! We three with Elder He aren’t frauds and definitely have medical skills. Relying on these results alone to determine we’re frauds, where’s the credibility in that."

"Is that so?" Li Yifei turned around, looking at Yan Qiu with eyes filled with pity, smiling faintly and said: "So, do you think the recent competition was unfair?"

Yan Qiu angrily said: "Of course it’s unfair!"

"Go ahead, tell me why it’s unfair, so many spectators here can listen, he thinks the competition just now was unfair!"

"Step down, Yan the Big Fraud!" an excited audience member shouted.

"Damn it, you think it’s unfair, think about the people you’ve deceived over the years, I wish I could beat you to death!"

Immediately, there was a chorus of curses from below the stage. Li Yifei no longer said more, feeling he had already said everything he wanted to, and the audience was the best proof.

Yan Qiu’s face nearly turned dark as he held the microphone, on the verge of breaking down, when Elder Hu spoke. As soon as his voice sounded, the entire venue fell silent. Just listen to Elder Hu saying: "Yan Qiu, since you think it’s unfair, speak up about what’s unfair. I am here today to seek fairness for Traditional Chinese Medicine, voice your grievances now to avoid settling things later."

"I..." Yan Qiu shivered for a moment, thinking within that if he offended Li Yifei, he might still have something to eat, but if he offended Elder Hu, then he would truly find it difficult to survive in the medical field later. Previously, everyone regarded him as a Master Physician, surrounded with admiration everywhere he went. If he suddenly became a traveling physician, that would be unbearable.

Elder Hu waited for a while, regrettably shook his head, and turned to He Ming, saying: "He Ming, I’ve heard of you several times and met you twice. Are you convinced by today’s competition results?"

He Ming sighed deeply, saying: "Today, I’ve seen true Traditional Chinese Medicine Techniques, and I have nothing to say. A bet is a bet, I, He Ming, indeed have no medical skills, and what I’ve gained over the years isn’t legitimate, I am willing to accept punishment."

He Ming is seventy, probably won’t live much longer, indeed an old bachelor. Faced with Elder Hu’s question, he answered frankly.

"Just a sentence of improperly gained wealth and that’s it?" Li Yifei pressed further.

"What else do you want me to do? My medical skills are inferior to yours today, I concede." Elder He resorted to being stubborn, while Li Yifei chuckled, pointing at these few people, "Everyone has heard and seen, haven’t they? These are the Master Physicians you elevated, with such attitudes, wanting to settle with just one concession? Sorry, I could have spared you, but now it’s too late, because when I thought of those misdiagnosed and misguided patients, those whose conditions worsened because of you, those whose organs and systems failed due to your random prescriptions, those patients fooled by your ’miraculous remedies,’ those elders deceived, and the children raised with your ill-gotten gains."

"You!" He Ming immediately stood up, glaring at Li Yifei, pointing his finger, "You’re slandering us! Even if our medical skills aren’t as good as yours, we don’t go as far as killing people, you’re defaming us, I’ll sue you!"

"Coincidentally, I also reported you to the police. You’ll wait to file against me slowly in prison. Oh, by the way, He Ming, your eldest son has opened up four herbal medicine stores, the plaque at the entrance was written by you, right? The store’s promotion features your photograph, right? ’Master Physician Herbal Hall,’ you must have an impression of those words? Yan Qiu, you’re the Director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department at the Medical University, right? To deceive your way into this position, I don’t know whether the university’s administrators are too dumb or your deceit is too clever. However, just thinking that someone like you could be a department head, and teach undergraduate and graduate students about Traditional Chinese Medicine, I felt a chill. What kind of students are taught by someone like you, where’s the real talent and learning? Also like you, diagnosing patients based on guesses, fabrications? Ha!
