Chapter 2838 Striking at the Heart

This is not just a matter of condemning someone, it’s like taking a knife and stabbing them three or six times, cutting them down to the ground. Hearing his words, Yan Qiu fell to the ground in shock, staring blankly. He hadn’t expected Li Yifei to dig up these things. As for He Ming, the old man clutched his chest and his body shook violently, about to fall backward.

"Stop pretending, do you think having a heart attack will let you off? I’ve heard that Elder He is still strong, and last year he was involved with two female college students, claiming he had a way to maintain health, saying three to five times a night was no problem. Yet here you are, a little thing like this causing a heart attack out of rage? That’s quite disappointing. I had heard of your exploits and almost believed you were a Master Physician, maintaining relationships with two girls at your age isn’t something just anyone can do!"

A burst of laughter erupted as people heard this, not because everything Li Yifei said was unquestioningly believed, but because Yan Qiu and He Ming did not rebut it at all. They even cooperated by doing despairing and angry actions, further proving the truth of the matter. Essentially, everything Li Yifei said was true and had happened to these two men.

Without giving them a chance to refute, indeed, they couldn’t refute it, Li Yifei pointed at Wang Dafu, saying, "Wang Dafu, although you didn’t display your amazing medical skills earlier, I personally respect you more. It’s said you’ve invented a set of acupuncture techniques with gold needles, claiming that inserting silver needles all over a patient’s body can cure all diseases. Five days ago, a patient with heart failure was killed by your needles, right? Such things happen often, no need for compensation, but I heard you still paid twenty thousand to the other party, as it was the mother of a Vice Director whom you delayed treatment for, causing death."

At this point, Li Yifei sighed and said, "I know many ignorant people exist, especially the older generation, but actually this isn’t entirely their fault. Our country has developed so fast these past decades, it’s not an exaggeration to say it’s earth-shaking. Not only the elderly, but even many parents of children who aren’t much older than me have poor acceptance of new things. I’ve strayed far from the topic, but I’m not trying to generalize individuals; I’m saying... the elderly have weak acceptance and mostly traditional beliefs and hence believe in Traditional Chinese Medicine. They wholeheartedly believe and advocate for it, healing aches and pains at home with fire cupping, relieving headaches by cupping the forehead, injecting needles in the throat for sore throat, and considering bleeding to mean the ailment is cured. Didn’t I say it right?"

"They choose to believe in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and you? You exploited this belief, swindling and defrauding, even if fraud is acceptable, then truly have some medical skills. If it’s all deception without any skills, I really don’t know what to say."

Finally, Li Yifei turned and shook his head, sighing, "This rant can’t change anything, today I merely exposed a few conmen and proved that Traditional Chinese Medicine Techniques indeed have effects and benefits. Even someone like me, who learned a bit, can diagnose many conditions; not to mention Elder Hu and others of his caliber, who are National Medicine Masters. That’s what I’ve been doing these days, like when I exposed that so-called Master Physician who claims to treat all incurable diseases a few days ago. Today’s matter might only affect a small number of people’s judgments, but at least I did it!"

After finishing, Li Yifei handed the mic back to the host and began to walk off stage.

"Li Yifei, wait a minute," Elder Hu called out.

Li Yifei stopped and looked at him. He saw Elder Hu, somewhat agitated, saying, "What you did today is right, exceedingly right, please accept my bow."

Saying this, Elder Hu attempted to stand from his wheelchair, but Li Yifei hurried over and held him down, saying, "Elder Hu, please don’t, I’m motivated by self-interest, I can’t accept such a bow."

Elder Hu held onto Li Yifei’s hand, still excitedly saying, "Our nation is too large, Traditional Chinese Medicine spans a thousand years, yet lacks uniformity in the industry, and systematic training is absent, leading to a myriad of practitioners. People claim ancestral remedies or lineage, or outright deception. It’s rampant. Today you dared to expose these individuals, something I never imagined, it makes me truly happy. I want to thank you on behalf of a few of us, at least today you exposed three frauds, it’ll now be much harder for them to deceive others."

"But there are more conmen out there!" Li Yifei shook his head and said.

"So, while I’m alive, I intend to organize some people to establish a corrective association for the industry. Of course, that’s for the future. Today’s trip wasn’t in vain, witnessing such a feat satisfies me."

"Moreover, your medical skills are already quite advanced, please don’t call it mere superficial learning." Elder Hu laughed.

Li Yifei nodded. The three on stage were still present, unable to escape, as staff were watching and police were backstage. At this moment, their defenses had been shattered, sinking into despair, making it the best opportunity to investigate.

An hour later, Li Yifei and Wu Shuwei were sitting in the car, using Elder Hu’s vehicle. Naturally, there was an exchange between them; Elder Hu was curious about Li Yifei’s mentorship, but the mentor... Li Yifei couldn’t divulge, he simply said it came from a senior surnamed Yao. If Elder Hu had pressed further, he might have mentioned Yao Lingfu, but Elder Hu seemed to understand and didn’t ask.

Many Traditional Chinese Medicine Masters prefer transmitting knowledge to disciples rather than publicly sharing medical skills. Some say it’s keeping secrets, others say it’s the essence of Traditional Chinese Medicine. When Elder Hu inquired about this, Li Yifei felt helpless. He shook his head and said, "Elder Hu, it’s not that I don’t want to disclose, it’s merely that the medical skills I possess are either commonly known or accessible only to one in ten thousand, due to lack of talent."

Elder Hu nodded understandingly, asked a few more things, then let Li Yifei depart.

In the car, Wu Shuwei held Li Yifei’s arm with both hands, her head resting on his shoulder, her face slightly flushed. Clearly, Li Yifei’s victory and subsequent speech had excited her.

Returning to school and entering the villa, Wu Shuwei tossed her bag and threw herself into Li Yifei’s embrace, indulging in passionate kisses, as if trying to melt him with boundless enthusiasm.

A battle was unavoidable. Afterward, Wu Shuwei lay wrapped in the blanket, resting her head on Li Yifei’s chest, her fingers lightly drawing circles on his skin, causing goosebumps with her nails.

"Smack!" A crisp sound echoed, Wu Shuwei screamed softly, reaching to massage her sore bottom, pouting, "Why did you hit me?"

"If you keep drawing, you’ll be exhausted again." Li Yifei replied.

"Huh? Then I won’t do it. You’re too tough, I can’t handle it." Wu Shuwei seemed fearful and tightened the blanket around herself.

Outside, online, countless people were hotly debating, engaging in battles of words, with a flair that wouldn’t fade anytime soon. The debate over Traditional Chinese Medicine versus Western Medicine, ancient versus modern medicine, has never ceased.

Li Yifei triumphed over Traditional Chinese Medicine using the same, thus narrowing the scope of the argument. He simultaneously demonstrated he had medical skills and exposed supposed Master Physicians within the industry. It’s a significant disparity.

Of course, at this very moment, in the large bed of the bedroom, Li Yifei and Wu Shuwei weren’t thinking about these things, but thoroughly enjoying the moment. Despite Wu Shuwei repeatedly declaring no more, no more, it wasn’t long before another passionate battle flared up, and amid the chaos, Wu Shuwei became limp as mud, finally holding onto Li Yifei, drifting into a deep sleep.

When she awoke, it was dark outside. Li Yifei freed himself from Wu Shuwei, who clung to him like an octopus, got up to use the bathroom, then returned and found his phone was dead. He located the charger but chose to go downstairs, sitting on the sofa to charge it.

Once his phone powered on, it briefly stalled as messages flooded, nearly causing it to burst. After waiting awhile, Li Yifei reviewed many messages, most from family. The women also watched the online broadcast, equally excited. Although Li Yifei had been confrontational in the past, this time was a live TV broadcast, done swiftly and mercilessly, causing the women to cheer with delight. Moreover, Li Yifei’s action was unquestionably right; exposing industry frauds can save many lives. For many fraudsters in the industry, Li Yifei’s actions could serve as a cautionary tale, deterring them from deceit.

It’s a good thing indeed, though when they wanted to congratulate Li Yifei, they couldn’t reach him. He couldn’t be found via message, nor could they call as his phone was off. First, Li Yifei called Xu Yingying back. Once connected, Xu Yingying said, "Shh, wait a moment, the child just fell asleep, step outside."

A minute later, Xu Yingying holding the phone said, "Congratulations, my husband, you were incredibly handsome today."

"Really? I thought my nonsense might annoy many." Li Yifei responded.

"Annoy? Possibly some might, but for me, my husband did a great deed today. You might break some rice bowls, but save some lives, that’s a major good deed. As for their hatred, don’t we already have plenty of enemies? Let them hate." Xu Yingying said.

"Hahaha, dear wife, hearing this makes your husband extremely happy," Li Yifei laughed.
