Medical Sage

Given the Chen Family’s status and wealth in Hong Kong, their financial capacity was beyond question. Therefore, any single room within the Chen Family Villa was in no way inferior to the presidential suite of a five-star hotel, with its soft king-sized bed, stylish decorative murals, glittering chandeliers, and a spacious, comfortable bathroom. Yet Chen Fei paid no attention to any of these luxuries.

Having nearly exhausted all the Spiritual Energy in his body once again, he was now at the peak of his fatigue. He felt weak all over, completely drained of spirit, and wanted nothing more than to sleep. He promptly collapsed onto the soft bed and fell into a deep slumber, with no one daring to disturb him.

Although he had courted death once more and utterly exhausted himself, it was perhaps for this very reason that the Spiritual Energy within him had quietly grown more consolidated and active, gushing forth like a spring! Thus, it seemed Chen Fei’s efforts today had not been without reward.

「Meanwhile」

As he sank into a deep sleep, a gradually awakening Chen Hao walked out of his room. Chen Yaoyang and his wife immediately rushed forward to greet him excitedly.

”Hao, how are you? How are you feeling? You’re all right now, aren’t you?” Dong Shuxian was as emotional as ever, gazing at her son with the utmost concern.

Chen Yaoyang remained silent, but he too watched his son with a hint of nervousness, awaiting his answer. Although he understood he shouldn’t doubt Chen Fei’s words—if he said it was fine, then it was fine—this was his own flesh and blood, after all. And it was a malignant tumor that had already metastasized.

”Dad, Mom, the pain is gone. My head doesn’t hurt anymore,” Chen Hao said, his face a mask of excited disbelief.

Before Chen Fei had treated him, especially after his diagnosis, he had constantly felt as if insects were chewing on his brain, a heart-boring pain that struck from time to time.

But now, that agony that had made him wish for death had mysteriously vanished. Not only that, but he also felt a clarity he had never experienced before, as if his mind had been wiped clean, as if he had been reborn. The sensation was incredibly strange.

”The pain is gone? That’s wonderful! It seems Mr. Chen truly did cure you. But my heavens, this is miraculous! We’re talking about a malignant tumor that had already spread!” Dong Shuxian exclaimed, covering her mouth in a mixture of excitement and disbelief.

This was a malignant tumor with metastasized cancer cells—a recognized global medical challenge, a terminal illness! Yet Chen Fei had cured it in less than half an hour, as if by magic. It was utterly fantastical.

”Mr. Chen is no ordinary person. His willingness to intervene was a stroke of incredible luck for our Hao,” Chen Yaoyang said with a sigh.

”Yes, that’s right. Mr. Chen is truly no ordinary person,” Dong Shuxian agreed wholeheartedly.

Chen Hao nodded in agreement, though he also felt that, aside from his terrifying power and medical skills, Chen Fei... didn’t seem much different from other young men in their twenties. At least, his personality was very similar to many of his own friends. Of course, in front of his parents, this was a thought he only dared to entertain in his mind, never to be spoken aloud. Then, he suddenly asked, ”Hey, where’s Brother Fei?”

”Brother Fei?”

Chen Yaoyang’s brow furrowed, clearly displeased with the form of address.

Seeing his father’s reaction, a shiver went down Chen Hao’s spine, and he quickly thought of an explanation. ”Dad, Mr. Chen asked me to call him that. He seemed to think ’Mr. Chen’ made him sound too old, so he told me to call him Brother Fei. That way, it shows we’re peers.”

”Is that so?” Chen Yaoyang looked surprised but felt it was inappropriate to press the matter.

”Come on, Yaoyang,” Dong Shuxian interjected, smoothing things over. ”Although Mr. Chen has a distinguished identity and an extraordinary status, at the end of the day, he’s still a young man in his twenties, the same age as Hao. Let them interact on their own terms. Besides, given his personality, he probably genuinely dislikes a formal address like ’Mr. Chen’.” As a woman, she was more perceptive than men and understood that this was likely true to Chen Fei’s character.

”Fine, they can interact on their own terms. However, Hao, I must remind you,” Chen Yaoyang relented, before his tone turned extremely serious. ”Even though Mr. Chen allows you to call him Brother Fei, you must remember this clearly! He is an honored guest of our Chen Family. There must not be the slightest neglect!”

Angering Chen Fei could spell disaster, even for a family with the foundation and power of the Hong Kong Chen Family! The risk is too terrifying; we have to be on our guard.

”Dad, don’t worry. I’m not a fool. I know what to do,” Chen Hao replied at once, nodding without hesitation.

”Good.” Chen Yaoyang nodded in satisfaction, then added, ”Shuxian, contact the hospital now. Let’s get Hao another complete, comprehensive check-up.” Even though things seemed fine, he felt he needed a hospital report to truly be at ease.

”Oh, right, right... I’ll arrange it immediately. I’ll contact a hospital for another full check-up for Hao,” Dong Shuxian said, nodding as soon as she was reminded.

「About an hour later, at a top-tier private hospital in Hong Kong.」

To avoid unnecessary complications, Dong Shuxian had arranged for a different hospital this time. When Chen Yaoyang and Dong Shuxian personally brought their son in, the private hospital immediately mobilized all its resources to give Chen Hao the most thorough and complete examination as quickly as possible.

However, when the results came back, the head of the neurology department was scared out of his wits.

A tumor? A brain tumor? If it were an ordinary patient, it would be one thing, but the patient was Young Master Chen of the Hong Kong Chen Family! And with the acting patriarch, Chen Yaoyang, and his wife, Madam Chen, present in person, he had no idea how to break the news.

Fortunately, the tumor in Young Master Chen’s brain was benign. It hadn’t metastasized, nor was it in a critical, compressive location. With Hong Kong’s advanced level of medical expertise, it could be completely removed through surgery. This was the only piece of good news, and it allowed him to breathe a small sigh of relief.

”Mr. Chen, Madam Chen, and Young Master Chen, I’d like you to mentally prepare yourselves first,” the department head said cautiously, returning to his office with the report and facing the family.

”Is it a tumor?” Chen Yaoyang, however, had no patience for beating around the bush and asked directly.

”Y-yes, that’s right. It is a tumor.” The department head was naturally stunned that Chen Yaoyang already knew. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, ”Mr. Chen, while we have indeed confirmed a tumor in your son’s brain, there is good news. Fortunately, the tumor is benign and located in a relatively safe position. Therefore, Young Master Chen can opt for surgery to have it removed. The success rate is very high...”

”Benign... It really became benign...”

However, Chen Yaoyang, Dong Shuxian, and even Chen Hao, the ’patient,’ paid no mind to the rest of his words. Their minds echoed with a single word: benign.

The tumor in their son’s brain—which had been a malignant lesion with metastasized cancer cells—had been transformed into a benign tumor by Chen Fei’s inscrutable medical arts in less than an hour. In their minds, this was nothing short of a divine miracle. It was simply too incredible.

”What about the cancer cells? Are there still metastasized cells elsewhere in my son’s body?” Dong Shuxian suddenly asked, her expression intense.

”Cancer cells?” The department head was taken aback, and though he didn’t understand the question, he answered honestly, ”Generally speaking, benign tumors are localized and do not metastasize. So, for the time being, there are no cancer cells present in any other part of Young Master Chen’s body.”

Hearing this, Chen Yaoyang, Dong Shuxian, and Chen Hao couldn’t help but exchange a look, each seeing the profound awe in the others’ eyes. This had been a malignant, metastasized tumor. Yet, without surgery or medicine, in less than an hour, Chen Fei had magically turned it into a benign tumor. What an incredible medical feat! It’s beyond imagination!

”Alright, let’s go. We’ll discuss everything else after Mr. Chen wakes up tonight,” Chen Yaoyang said, taking a deep breath and preparing to leave now that he had received such a satisfactory answer.

He certainly remembered what Chen Fei had said before going to rest. He understood that there was no need for them to take any further futile actions. They simply needed to wait patiently for Chen Fei to awaken and write them a prescription. All remaining problems would then be effortlessly resolved without any need for surgery.

”Oh, one more thing,” he added, not forgetting to instruct the department head. ”Just pretend today never happened. Don’t think about it, and don’t let a word of this get out, understand?”

”Yes, yes, of course... Rest assured, Mr. Chen, I will completely forget today’s events. I remember nothing,” the department head stammered, a shiver running down his spine. He immediately lowered his head, his voice trembling.

This was the acting patriarch of the prestigious Hong Kong Chen Family, an undisputed top figure in the most elite circles of Hong Kong and Macau. One could only imagine how formidable he was and how immense his power was. A minor doctor and department head like him would never dare to defy his words. Whatever he said was absolute law.

「Meanwhile, at Global Entertainment, one of Hong Kong’s premier entertainment companies, the following scene was unfolding.」

”Guang Bin, it’s your birthday tonight. Don’t you dare say that I, Du Jincheng, don’t look out for you. For dinner tonight, how about I call Brother Hao over to grace your party?” said a man with a crooked sneer and a large gold chain, his tone full of arrogance. The words he spoke, however, stunned the two young men of the same age beside him.

Brother Hao?

In Hong Kong, how many people were there who qualified to be called Brother Hao by someone like Du Jincheng, Third Brother Du? Probably only one.
