"Ah—"
Wu Huimin screamed, her pregnant belly protruding as she fell backward, losing consciousness on the spot.
"Sister!"
Wu Huixian cried out in alarm, rushing to support her. She was horrified to see that the skirt Wu Huimin wore, already stained with blood, was now a large patch of fresh crimson. A chill ran down her spine, and she nervously pleaded with Professor Pan Haitang:
"Professor Pan, please save my sister. She... she's bleeding again..."
Pan Haitang, struggling to save herself, shook her head without hesitation:
"Dr. Wu, what your sister said earlier was well-deserved. I can't help her!"
She clearly felt uneasy, but after a pause, she couldn't help but sigh and add:
"Besides... besides, her non-invasive test results came out two hours ago, and the situation was very bad. The probability of the fetus having congenital intellectual disability was as high as sixty percent. I had planned to tell you in person tomorrow, so... so I think if Dr. Chen's violent kick could cause her to miscarry, perhaps... perhaps it would be a release for her. I'm sorry!"
Wu Huixian felt as if the sky had collapsed. Despair washed over her, and she wept silently.
But she was strong despite her gentle exterior and refused to give up. After thinking for a moment, she looked at Chen Xiao with pleading eyes and begged:
"Chen Xiao, my sister may have deserved it, but as her sister, I can't bear to see this. For the sake of our growing up together, could you trouble yourself to help me get her a taxi to the hospital? Don't worry, I won't blame you for hitting her, sob..."
As soon as she finished speaking to Chen Xiao, she couldn't control herself and threw herself into his arms, sobbing uncontrollably, her entire being filled with helplessness.
Chen Xiao's anger gradually subsided. In a few quick movements, he carried the limp Wu Huimin into Zhou Wannong's luxury car parked nearby. He then handed the car keys to Wu Huixian:
"I am a person who always distinguishes between kindness and enmity. Since I only hit your sister, I would never harm the fetus in her womb! The reason she is bleeding again is due to malignant placental cancer. Drive her to the Central Hospital immediately and find the Deputy Director of the Emergency Department, Zhou, to personally perform a C-section. I guarantee that both she and the baby will be safe."
Trusting Chen Xiao implicitly, Wu Huixian did not doubt his words, but she couldn't help but shake her head in despair:
"Professor Pan said the non-invasive results showed a sixty percent probability of the fetus having congenital intellectual disability. If we proceed with a C-section rashly, wouldn't my sister's life be ruined? For my sister's future, I think we should consider an abortion."
Chen Xiao replied without hesitation:
"According to my diagnosis, the probability of congenital intellectual disability is actually one hundred percent, but it can be completely cured later."
"Really?"
Wu Huixian was both surprised and delighted. She hastily wiped away her tears and sped off in the car.
Witnessing Chen Xiao's audacious guarantee of curing congenital intellectual disability, Zheng Liming became even more convinced that Chen Xiao's medical skills were as miraculous as Pan Haitang and Zheng Youen had praised. Suddenly, he made up his mind and, with a "thump," knelt squarely at Chen Xiao's feet:
"Dr. Chen, I truly didn't know that Zheng Youzhi had done such wicked deeds before I came. As his parent, I bear the responsibility. You can do as you please, kill me or flog me! However... however, I wish to beg you to treat my hidden infertility..."
Pan Haitang, seeing Zheng Liming attempting to bargain, was aghast and hurriedly interrupted:
"Old Zheng, one thing at a time. The issue to be resolved now is Zheng Youzhi's. Whether Dr. Chen is willing to treat your hidden ailment, putting aside past grievances, is a matter for later. Don't you understand such a simple principle?"
Zheng Liming was jolted as if struck by lightning. He suddenly came to his senses and stammered apologies to Chen Xiao:
"Dr. Chen, please... please forgive my presumption."
Beside him, Zheng Youen also nervously explained to Chen Xiao:
"Dr. Chen, my father suffers from a hidden infertility that no medicine can cure. He dreams of recovering, and he is certainly not trying to bargain for an advantage."
Seeing the sincerity displayed by the Zheng Liming family, Chen Xiao's anger subsided significantly. He turned and entered the house, dragging out the defeated Zheng Youzhi like a dead dog:
"Since that's the case, take this eyesore of a beast to surrender!"
The Zheng Liming family of three, as if granted a great pardon, quickly threw the unconscious Zheng Youzhi into the car.
Just then, another black sedan suddenly stopped in front of the Jishetang clinic.
Upon seeing the license plate, Zheng Liming's heart sank. He nervously whispered to Pan Haitang:
"Oh no! It's Youzhi's master!"
Pan Haitang's body trembled violently, as if facing a formidable enemy. She rushed towards the car door that had just opened.
Zheng Youen quickly leaned closer to Chen Xiao and urged in a low voice:
"Dr. Chen, Zheng Youzhi's master is here. He is Leng Shan, the notorious Snake Fist Grandmaster of Juxian City. You should go inside and take cover. My parents will try their best to send him away..."
Before Zheng Youen could finish speaking, Leng Shan, dressed in a black martial arts uniform, stepped out of the car with a grim expression. His eyes, as venomous as a cobra's, fixed on Chen Xiao, scrutinizing him from head to toe.
