Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 896: Chapter 896: Gambling King

When Lin Dong walked over, in everyone’s eyes, Qiao Bing, who was like a block of ice, actually showed a smile.

Moreover, she affectionately moved to his side and took his arm.

At this moment, Professor Peng Xin also had to believe that Qiao Bing really had a boyfriend.

”Professor Peng Xin, this is my boyfriend. I really do have a boyfriend, and it’s not just talk,” Qiao Bing said.

”I hope from now on, you will stop trying to set me up with anyone,” she added.

Professor Peng Xin’s face showed embarrassment.

She originally wanted to introduce her nephew to Qiao Bing, but to her surprise, Qiao Bing actually had a boyfriend, and evidently, this was a blow to her own pride.

However, she couldn’t openly lose her temper and simply nodded lightly.

Afterward, she became much less enthusiastic towards Qiao Bing than at the beginning.

She became quite distant.

Instead, she turned her attentiveness towards the doctoral student Yang Meng beside her.

”Yang Meng, you’ll accompany me for the surgery later on,” Peng Xin said.

Seeing this, Yang Meng was overjoyed.

”Okay,” she replied eagerly.

Yang Meng knew that Qiao Bing had offended her instructor, and from now on, Qiao Bing would not receive Professor Peng Xin’s favor.

But she was different.

Unable to restrain herself, Qiao Bing asked, ”What about me, Professor Peng Xin?”

She naturally also wanted to participate in the surgery to observe and learn more advanced medical techniques.

Professor Peng Xin said indifferently, ”You stay outside and help me with writing medical records and organizing documents.”

”But...” Qiao Bing wanted to say more, however, Peng Xin directly snapped, ”What, you don’t want to do it?”

”So young yet already aiming too high? Unwilling to do the small tasks? Fine, it seems I can’t take you on as a visiting doctor then,” Peng Xin said.

”No, it’s not like that, Professor Peng Xin, you misunderstand. I’ll do it,” Qiao Bing hastily assured her.

”Hmm,” Peng Xin nodded and led the group to the patient’s sickroom.

Meanwhile, her nephew Peng Wenhao couldn’t help but look at Lin Dong.

He wondered who Lin Dong was to have won the favors of an angel like Qiao Bing.

Soon, the group arrived at the sickroom under the lead of the esteemed expert Professor Peng Xin.

This sickroom was a VIP suite; staying in this room indicated that the patient’s identity was no small matter.

Usually, only those who were extremely wealthy or held high official positions could afford to stay here.

At the moment, the patient lying in the bed indeed had an extraordinary identity.

She was a woman in her thirties, the daughter-in-law of the Gambling King of Demon City.

This Gambling King of Demon City was a legendary figure, worth several hundred billion, and because he initially gained fame through Stone Gambling, he was known as the Gambling King of Demon City.

Of course, the industries associated with his enterprises nowadays were not just limited to Stone Gambling. They spanned various sectors including the entertainment circles, real estate, electronic products, and clothing.

He also had wide connections and knew big shots across multiple industries.

It was said that south of Demon City, a single phone call from him could resolve any issue he faced.

Previously, a female star from his entertainment company was filming in another region and offended a local snake who wanted her to toast him. However, she refused and incurred his wrath.

The local snake then declared he would sleep with the female star and take pictures to ruin her, ensuring she’d never be able to work in the entertainment circles again.

The terrified female star hastily made a call to the big boss behind her, the Gambling King of Demon City.

With just one phone call from the Gambling King, the local snake was begging on his knees for forgiveness. He not only dared not harm the female star but even kneeled at her feet pleading for her forgiveness.

Such incidents are numerous and have built his formidable reputation.

Now that his daughter-in-law was staying in this hospital, she naturally received special treatment from the entire hospital.

The best doctors were assigned to her care.

However, even the finest medical practitioners of the Second Hospital of Demon City couldn’t cure her illness.

Therefore, they reached out through Peng Wenhao’s connections to the international heart expert Professor Peng Xin, requesting her assistance with the treatment.

”Professor Peng Xin, it’s all up to you. Mr. He Sihai, the Gambling King, has said that if it can’t be cured, he will transfer his daughter-in-law to another hospital. Our hospital doesn’t want to lose this opportunity, so we’ve promised him we will cure her within three days,” said one of the hospital leaders.

If they could cure Mr. He Sihai’s daughter-in-law, they would gain both the connections and the financial gratitude.

It also had the potential to enhance the hospital’s reputation, so naturally, this was an opportunity they needed to seize.

Yet after making such a bold promise, they found that not a single doctor in the hospital could heal the Gambling King’s daughter-in-law.

Peng Wenhao spoke gravely at this moment, ”Auntie, the patient’s issue is with her heart. You are one of the best heart doctors in the country; you can surely cure her, can’t you?”

”She is under my personal care, and if she is cured, I will receive the Gambling King’s gratitude,” Peng Wenhao said.

It was clear that if Peng Xin could cure the patient, Peng Wenhao would receive the connections and financial gratitude from the Gambling King.

Of course, if something went wrong, he would also be faced with the Gambling King’s rage.

The Gambling King was betting that their hospital could cure his daughter-in-law.

Similarly, Peng Wenhao and the hospital were also gambling that Peng Xin could cure her.

After examining the patient, Peng Xin laughingly said, ”No problem, I’ll perform a heart bypass surgery on her this afternoon, and that will cure her.”

Upon hearing this, Peng Wenhao and the hospital leaders all showed relieved smiles.

If Professor Peng Xin said she could be cured, then she certainly would be.

They were all confident.

But just at that moment, a voice rang out.

”Performing heart bypass surgery is useless. She doesn’t have so-called heart disease but is suffering due to another reason!”

Gasps!

As this voice sounded, everyone’s gaze turned toward the speaker.

They wanted to see who was speaking!
