Those words were not spoken by Mayor Li, but by that fellow called Little Wu.
“Young man, you can eat your food any way you like, but you cannot speak any way you like!”
Master Wu sneered and stood right up.
“I did not want to teach you a lesson, but you dare speak so boastfully right in front of me, right in front of Mayor Li? You still dare say I am a fraud?” The moment Master Wu said this, coupled with his angry expression, Mayor Li’s face also darkened at once.
This Master Wu was someone he had hired at great expense and for a high price. Behind him was also that mysterious Master Li.
Luo Chen’s words had angered the man in one go. This made Mayor Li furious with Luo Chen too.
He immediately showed no pleasant expression.
And everyone else in the room also stood up, looking coldly at Luo Chen.
“Let me ask you this. Do you understand the four diagnostic methods of traditional Chinese medicine: observation, listening, questioning, and pulse-taking?”
“Do you know about feng shui’s dragon-seeking and pulse-forgetting, or the Zhouyi and Eight Trigrams?”
“Have you read about the Taoist heavenly stems and earthly branches, or the Qimen Dunjia?”
“I have followed my master for over a dozen years, studying with dedication. I can fairly say I am versed in the ancient and modern, knowledgeable in hundreds of principles. I do not even dare to call someone a fraud casually in front of others. You, this bastard, have a heart that deserves punishment!” With a flick of his hand, Master Wu rebuked him coldly.
“Oh?” Luo Chen gave a contemptuous smile.
“You really know how to package yourself.”
“Hold your tongue, young man. You are somewhat ungrateful.” On the other side, an old traditional Chinese medicine practitioner stood up.
“Master Wu possesses extraordinary skills. His silver needles can be called divinely skilful. My rheumatic ailment of over thirty years was cured in but a moment. You actually dare to question Master Wu?” The old practitioner suddenly spoke up.
He was a famous old practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine in Qingshui City. His medical skills could be called having reached the peak.
But he could not cure his own chronic ailment. In the end, it was this Master Wu who cured him.
And Master Wu’s master, Master Li, was already practically a legend in everyone’s eyes.
Seeing Luo Chen question Master Wu at this moment, this old practitioner naturally felt dissatisfied.
How could he tolerate it?
Moreover, he had also examined Mayor Li’s illness before, but even he was still at a complete loss.
Wan Hongwei, seeing these people’s attitude towards Luo Chen, naturally also looked displeased.
After all, Luo Chen was someone he had invited over, and he had paid a hefty sum for it too.
“Wan Hongwei, what on earth are you doing?”
“Deliberately finding someone to cause trouble?” Mayor Li also rebuked Wan Hongwei at this time.
“No, Uncle, Mr Luo is really not an ordinary person.” Wan Hongwei explained anxiously.
“Hmph, not an ordinary person?”
“Just a brat, and you actually say he is not an ordinary person?”
“Your conduct has grown more and more outrageous over the years, more and more excessive. Not only do you not know when to rein yourself in, but now you have even found a brat to pretend to be some master?” Mayor Li directly rebuked Wan Hongwei.
“Get out of here immediately!” Mayor Li stood up and rebuked him.
“Hold on, Mayor Li. I am, after all, a person of status. For him to call me a fraud to my face today, he naturally must give me an explanation!” Master Wu did not seem intent on letting it go just like that.
He turned his head back, looking at Luo Chen with a face full of cold sneer.
“Young man, if I do not teach you a lesson today and let you remember it well, I am afraid you will not know how arrogantly far you might go in the future?”
“Mayor Li, why not just let this matter go.” Shen Yuelan stepped forward to speak at this time.
The moment Shen Yuelan spoke, things became rather tricky.
After all, Shen Yuelan’s status was right there.
And Master Wu seemed to know a thing or two. His original intention was to teach Luo Chen a lesson.
After all, how could he endure a brat like this calling him a fraud to his face?
Actually, what illness Mayor Li had contracted, to be honest, he did not know either.
If one were to truly speak of ability, where did he have any real ability?
It was just that his master had casually mentioned that he might have run into something evil.
But to be called a fraud by Luo Chen just like that, he was naturally unhappy.
“Since President Shen has spoken, then I shall give President Shen some face.”
“Apologise to me, and this matter will be over.” Master Wu sat back down in his chair, crossing his legs, looking every bit the master.
But Luo Chen shook his head.
“Wan Hongwei, since I have taken your money for this matter, by rights I should give you some face and help you settle this matter.” Luo Chen suddenly sneered.
“But as you can see, since your uncle is willing to believe this fraud, then this matter has nothing more to do with me.” Having said this, Luo Chen prepared to leave.
He could be considered a person of some status too, but since Mayor Li was so unable to tell good from bad, then let him be.
Seeing Luo Chen about to leave, Jiang Tongran naturally also stood up and followed Luo Chen at this time.
“Want to leave?” Master Wu did not seem ready to let it rest yet.
“Are you looking for trouble for yourself?” Luo Chen turned his head back, raising an eyebrow.
“I think it is you who is looking for trouble for yourself!” Master Wu sneered.
In his eyes, Luo Chen was just a reckless youth. He might not have other abilities, but he had learned a few self-defence moves from his master.
A silver needle had already been secretly pinched between his fingers.
This subtle movement might escape others, but it could not escape Luo Chen.
A smile involuntarily formed at the corner of Luo Chen’s mouth.
“If you do not apologise, do not regret it.”
“Bang!”
Before Master Wu could even finish his words, Luo Chen struck. With one kick, he sent Master Wu flying.
How could Master Wu withstand a kick from Luo Chen? With this kick, at least a few ribs were broken.
He lay on the ground, fresh blood pouring from his mouth. In no time, there was quite a large pool of it.
“What nerve! Do you know who I am?” Mayor Li flared up at once.
He was, after all, the top man of Qingshui City. For someone to dare beat his honoured guest in his own home, this was outrageous!
“Uncle, Uncle, please do not act rashly.” Wan Hongwei hurriedly went up to stop him.
His original intention had been good, but who could have thought things would develop into this state?
If his uncle were to fall out with Luo Chen today, things would be finished.
After all, he knew Luo Chen’s temper and methods all too well.
His arm was still in bandages and a cast right now.
“Cough, cough, you little wretch. When my master arrives, you are dead meat.” Master Wu looked at Luo Chen with a venomous face.
The moment these words landed, a person arrived at the door. He was still dressed as an old man, possessing quite an air of immortal elegance.
But the moment that old man saw Luo Chen, he was instantly stunned.
One foot had already crossed the threshold, but he then drew it back.
“If you dare run away again today, I might not be so polite.” Luo Chen said coldly.
That person immediately stopped at the doorway.
He could be considered to have some ability. How could he not tell that Luo Chen was absolutely someone he could not afford to offend? And Master Li gave a bitter laugh. He was too unlucky. Last time, he had run into Luo Chen at Haidong Hospital. He had never expected to run into Luo Chen here again.
