o Yu said to the others.When the people from the opposite side of the elevator heard this, their expressions changed instantly. To them, this meant a dereliction of duty and it was possible that they...Chapter Thirty-Four: This illness is incurable

Old Zhong, Old ZHUO, and Zhong Jianguo secretly nodded at Xiao Yu's calm demeanor. At his age, he was not intimidated by the full room of experts, indicating that he must have some genuine skills.

The experts saw Xiao Yu's steady composure and felt uneasy themselves. As a group of seasoned professionals, they knew well that one wouldn't dare to act so calmly without real abilities. Moreover, he had been recommended by Old ZHUO; it was like in some martial arts novels where elderly people, women, and children were not easy to provoke because they must have some skills to survive in the unpredictable world. Similarly, a young person could be more composed than many senior doctors in such an occasion, implying that this youth had genuine abilities.

Xiao Yu's technique was precise; he lightly placed his fingers on the patient’s pulse and closed his eyes halfway. After about half a minute, Xiao Yu frowned slightly, moved to the other side of the patient, and gently took another pulse. Another half-minute later, he lifted his hand, stepped back, and lowered his head with a furrowed brow.

The experts sighed in relief when they saw Xiao Yu's reaction; if this young man actually diagnosed the illness correctly, their faces would be at stake as imperial physicians and there would be no place for them in the Central Health Bureau.

Old ZHUO and the Zhong family father-son duo let out a soft sigh. They had hoped that this young man could bring them some surprises but...

Xiao Yu lowered his head, opening the Yin-Yang Life-and-Death Eye. Through the pulse diagnosis just now, he found that the patient's heartbeat was strong and powerful, which should be considered normal. This was also why Old ZHUO and those doctors were puzzled with furrowed brows. According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, all human diseases can be reflected through the pulse; hence they believed that Old Zhong was healthy.

However, they overlooked a crucial issue: Old Zhong was already in his seventies and had endured great pain, so his pulse should have been weak and floating rather than strong like a young person's. This situation itself was abnormal. It could be said that Old Zhong’s heart was abnormally robust as if it were artificially stimulated.

However, due to Dr. Zhuo's advanced age, his heart's condition was like a small horse pulling a large cart, with the driver constantly whipping it to make it run faster. The severe chest pain in Old Zhong’s heart should be like the whip of the driver stimulating his heart. But once the whipping stops, an exhausted little horse is very likely to collapse and die; similarly, Old Zhong's heart would also face such a risk.

Trying to use his Yin-Yang eyes to see what external force was acting on the heart, Xiao Yu lowered his head for fear of others noticing any abnormalities in his eyes since there were so many people in the room.

Xiao Yu activated his Yin-Yang Life and Death Eyes and slowly raised his head. Under observation from his Yin-Yang Life and Death Eyes, Old Zhong's body showed no signs of death energy, indicating that he was quite healthy. Suddenly, Xiao Yu noticed a speck-sized spot of death energy continuously churning at the location of Old Zhong’s heart but had yet to take form.

Could it be that there is actually a living creature in Old Zhong's heart Xiao Yu was shocked; this thing must have been stimulating his heart. Judging from the size and appearance of the death energy, even if the creature hasn't died yet, it’s not far from doing so. If the creature dies, without its stimulation, Old Zhong’s heart might immediately stop beating abruptly, leading to sudden death.

What on earth is this thing Xiao Yu shut off his Yin-Yang Life and Death Eyes as he lowered his head, pondering deeply while recalling the traditional Chinese medical knowledge that his grandfather had made him memorize by rote and searching through Zhong Kui's memories.

A few minutes later, when Zhong Jianguo saw that all the experts had completed their examination without any further questions to ask, he said, "Since all the experts have finished checking, let’s go outside for a chat! Let my father rest properly!"

"Alright, I'll also come along and walk around," Old Zhong suddenly spoke up from his position lying down.

"Father (Grandpa), your body…" Upon seeing their father getting up, both Zhong Jianguo and Zhong Tao hurried over to help him.

"It's okay, I'm feeling much better now and have regained my energy. Isn't this how it always is after each episode Nothing to worry about!" Old Master Zhong now appeared more energetic and was getting out of bed.

Only Xiao Yu knew that this was just a residual effect from the stimulus on his heart by some living thing.

Once the experts left, with Zhong Jianguo and Zhong Tao's support, Old Master Zhong followed them out. Back in the conference room, he entered along with everyone else. The experts looked at each other but did not speak up.

Seeing their expressions, Old Master Zhong understood their concerns. He said, "Tell me what you think is wrong with my health; I've experienced everything in this life anyway. Speak freely! Tell me!"

Zhong Jianguo stood up and asked, "What are your opinions regarding the condition of my father"

An expert from the Central Health Bureau said, "Based on current test results, Old Master Zhong appears to be in good health with no abnormalities detected. I suggest performing a coronary angiography."

The other experts from the Central Health Bureau agreed.

Zhong Jianguo thought for a moment and looked at Zhu Hongxing, asking, "Uncle Zhu, what is your opinion"

Zhuo Hongxing didn't answer but instead looked at the elderly white-bearded traditional Chinese doctor from the Central Health Bureau: "Old Mr. Huang, what's your take"

"From the current situation, this might be the best solution, but I always feel that something isn’t right." After saying that, he shook his head.

"Xiao Xiao, how do you see Old Zhong’s illness!" After asking Old Mr. Huang, Zhuo Hongxing turned his head to look at Xiao Yu who was sitting in the corner.

……………..

Suddenly, while sitting in the corner, Xiao Yu recalled a case that his grandpa used to tell him as a bedtime story when he was little. He thought of a possibility but wondered if it were true Horrified, Xiao Yu thought.

Then, deep within his mind, memories from Zhong Kui surged out and filled Xiao Yu's thoughts. While sitting in the corner, Xiao Yu merged this memory and with each bit he absorbed, his expression changed slightly. After completing this process of merging, Xiao Yu finally understood what that sesame-sized thing was.

Sitting in the corner, Xiao Yu gradually fell into a reverie. From birth, Xiao Yu had never seen what his father looked like; later on when he grew up, the kids at school would say that he was an abandoned child without a father. Back then, he didn’t understand much and would ask his mother why other children had fathers but not him. His mother wouldn’t answer but just hugged him along with his sister while crying profusely. Seeing this, Xiao Yu never brought up the topic of his father at home again. As he grew older, he understood more and from his guesses, it seemed that his father had abandoned them, mother and children. So from the moment he received Zhong Kui’s legacy, he made a resolution: those who are heartless and abandon their wives and children would not be saved.

Zhuo Hongxing's words jolted Xiao Yu out of his reverie in the corner. As Xiao Yu slowly lifted his head, determination shone in his eyes as he declared, "This illness is incurable!!!!"d him to come over for dinner tonight, the first person who came to his mind was Wei Jun. Since Wei Jun decided to start working at his family’s company, getting to know Song Hushan would be of great...
