When Charlie threatened to p him, Hong Changqing was so enraged that he wanted to tear him apart. He had never experienced such humiliation before in his life. Yet, as he recalled the important matters awaiting him in Aurous Hill, and the need to visit the police station after leaving, he forced himself to suppress the overwhelming anger bubbling inside him.


    Watching Hong Changqing’s livid face, which looked ready to explode like a pressure cooker, Charlie couldn’t help but sneer. “What’s wrong? Are you too scared to take my pulse? I see you, old man—you cheated and outsmarted the miracle doctor yesterday! So why won’t you give it a try now?”<fn8a2d> For original chapters go to FindN()vel</fn8a2d>


    Charlie had initially suspected that Hong Changqing had set a trap for Dr. Simmons, and now, seeing him as an eight-star martial artist only reinforced his suspicions. An eight-star martial artist dedicates most of their time to rigorous training. Even if such an individual has the potential to excel as a top Chinese doctor, there simply isn’t enough time or opportunity to master both disciplines.


    In this world, we have many distinguished scientists who have won Nobel Prizes, artistic geniuses who perfect their craft, and athletes who train tirelessly to be world champions. However, who has ever heard of a Nobelureate who also excels as a world-ss pianist and an Olympic champion simultaneously?


    Human capacity is inherently limited. Thus, since Hong Changqing is an eight-star martial artist, it is evident that hecks the time and energy to reach the pinnacle in other fields.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    As Charlie maintained his aggressive demeanor, Hong Changqing felt a twinge of nervousness. Although he regarded himself as a significant figure, a Daoist celestial master, he had invested the majority of his energy in martial arts over the years. His secondary focus had been on the refinement of low-level Daoist elixirs, leaving little room for a deep dive into the study of Chinese medicine.


    That said, he wasn’tpletely ignorant of medical skills. The Taoist school is renowned for its medical expertise, so he was certainly more knowledgeable than many Chinese doctors of limited skill. However,pared to Dr. Simmons, a master in the field, there was still a considerable gap.


    When he became enamored with Dr. Simmons’s Jishi Hall, his ambition to seize that opportunity led him to devise a scheme to undermine Dr. Simmons. Aware of his own limitations in medical prowesspared to Dr. Simmons, he strategically enlisted a few nurses and arranged for apetition in medical skills. All the female patients who visited the clinic the previous day were deliberately orchestrated by him. As long as Dr. Simmons agreed topete, no matter which patient he chose as a benchmark, the oue was certain—he would lose.


    In those moments, he had manipted Dr. Simmons, using the witnesses present to apply pressure. Dr. Simmons had not considered the implications of this arrangement at all.


    But Charlie was not Dr. Simmons.


    While Dr. Simmons may have felt secure in his choice ofpetition benchmark among the patients, Charlie sensed that something about the setup was a bit off.
