Yaso's face changed dramatically, finally realizing what a low-level, fatal mistake he had made, and was instantly speechless.
Daphne, who had been kept in the dark the whole time, interjected without hesitation:
"Dr. Chen, yesterday my father learned that the famous reclusive old divine doctor Nangong Yi is currently residing in Juxian City, so he rushed here with me to seek medical treatment. Unexpectedly, before we could even make an appointment with Old Divine Doctor Nangong, you gave me three days of light."
"Yes! Yes! Yes, yes, yes!"
Yaso nodded vigorously, like a chick pecking at rice.
To deceive Chen Xiao, he paused and then deliberately changed the subject with a smile, "Dr. Chen's medical skills are so high that they are almost divine. This morning I had a stomachache and got your number. I didn't expect that as soon as I stepped into this examination room, the pain disappeared completely..."
"By the way, I have a half-sister in Juxian City. Besides bringing Daphne here for treatment, I also plan to visit my sister's house, hehe..."
But as he smiled, Yaso's expression suddenly became extremely ugly, because he clearly saw Chen Xiao suddenly grab Daphne's fair wrist.
He could give up the mission to assassinate Long Aotian, and even be buried in Juxian City, but he would never allow anyone to harm Daphne.
"Dr. Chen, what do you mean by this?"
As he spoke, his face gradually became ferocious, and his expression was filled with unconcealed ferocity.
Since Chen Xiao had already learned that Yaso had come to Juxian City yesterday, combined with Yaso's previous suspicious behavior, no matter what Yaso said, he would not easily believe him.
Moreover, it was obvious that by holding Daphne, he had captured Yaso's weakness.
Pretending not to see Yaso's anger, Chen Xiao calmly pulled Daphne back to the examination table and began various checks:
"Of course, it's for further examination. What's wrong, Mr. Yaso? Do you seem unwilling to let me continue treating Miss Daphne's eyes?"
Yaso's expression was unpredictable. He pretended to flatter and said, "Dr. Chen is joking. Your medical skills are probably far superior to the famous Old Divine Doctor Nangong. I can't wait to ask you for treatment, how could I be unwilling..."
"Alas!"
Suddenly, Chen Xiao sighed and interrupted Yaso, "Miss Daphne's condition is far more complicated than I had previously estimated. To fully recover, it will take at least three to five years, or even ten to eight years of treatment!"
"What?"
Yaso and Daphne looked at each other in dismay, both stunned. Such a long treatment course was something they had never expected.
Looking pleadingly at Chen Xiao, who kept shaking his head and sighing, Daphne said unwillingly, "Dr. Chen, are there no other treatment options with a shorter course?"
"No."
Chen Xiao shook his head without hesitation, "The Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Longevity Needles and the Three Flowers Six Fruits Nine Herbs Brightening Eye Paste used in combination, administered once every three days, require at least three years of continuous treatment. Once you stop, you will go blind again."
He paused, and then deliberately and casually sighed, "Alas! The fortune teller said I am in danger of bloodshed at any time, and it's unknown if I can even live past three years. Mr. Yaso, Miss Daphne, why don't you go find Old Divine Doctor Nangong? However, as far as I know, he probably doesn't have the ability to cure Miss Daphne, even with a hundred years."
"..."
Yaso was speechless and on the verge of tears. Even with a glimmer of hope, he finally realized that Chen Xiao was hinting, or rather, threatening him.
His mouth twitched slightly, and he said with despair, "Dr. Chen is joking again. You are young and strong, and your medical skills are divine. How can you be in danger of bloodshed?"
He paused, and then hinted to Chen Xiao, "And for Daphne, I will make you live a long and healthy life, even if it costs me my life."
He thought to himself, as long as his precious daughter's eyes could be healed, he could give up being a Grim Reaper's leader.
Chen Xiao understood, and nodded slightly, "You two go back and discuss it. I need to see the next patient. If you decide to continue with my treatment, remember to register and come for your appointments on time."
"Thank you, Dr. Chen."
Chen Xiao did not mention "Grim Reaper" at all. Yaso felt deeply apologetic. As he and Daphne left, his eyes were red, and he became even more determined to quit the Grim Reaper mercenary group as soon as possible and completely abandon the plan to assassinate Long Aotian using Chen Xiao as a lead.
As soon as the two left, the second person to register, Liu Jinya's wife, Gou Shunfang, rushed into examination room eight.
Chen Xiao was first stunned, and then said with a forced smile, "Mrs. Liu actually registered and waited for her appointment instead of using her administrative director brother to get special treatment? Has the sun risen from the west?"
With a bitter smile, Gou Shunfang painfully took out a property deed and handed it to Chen Xiao, saying cautiously, "Dr. Chen, this is the villa our family owns in Swan Lake. It's valued at thirty-two million yuan. It has been successfully transferred to your name through connections. I hope you will keep your promise and quickly give my husband acupuncture to prolong his life."
