Urban Miracle Doctor-Chapter 184 Advantages and Disadvantages

"Chengnan, Chengnan," Tan Hongyan, seeing the old patriarch say this, placed her last hope on Chen Chengnan.

Chen Chengnan reluctantly glanced at Tan Hongyan and said gravely, "I will follow my father’s arrangement."

Upon hearing this, Tan Hongyan collapsed to the ground, her face pale. In just a few short minutes, Chen Jingtian’s fate was decided.

"Chengnan, come to my room. I have something to tell you," the Chen family’s old patriarch said, as he got up and walked toward the back courtyard.

Chen Chengnan supported the elder slowly to the back courtyard, and after reaching the old man’s room, he personally brewed a cup of tea for him.

"Chengnan, tell me the truth, what are your actual thoughts on this matter?" the Chen family’s old patriarch asked.

After hearing the old patriarch’s words, Chen Chengnan remained silent, but his tightly furrowed brows and clenched fists betrayed his inner turmoil.

"Ah, I know you are reluctant, but Wenli spoke nothing but sensible words today, and you were at a critical moment. Even setting all that aside, what the second child did, if it were you, how would you have acted? You might have been even harsher than Qin Han."

"First he was suppressed through business tactics, then his wife was almost violated, do you think Qin Han’s actions were excessive? The Chen family has stood in Jing for a century not because we flaunt our power to plunder others’ wealth, but because we know when to stop."

Seeing Chen Chengnan remain silent, the old patriarch guessed that once this crucial moment was over, Chen Chengnan would surely seek trouble with Qin Han, and he slowly said,

"But father, are we just going to let Tian’s matter go? He’s not even left a man anymore," Chen Chengnan said, unable to contain his resentment.

The old patriarch of the Chen family looked deeply at Chen Chengnan and said lightly, "What else can be done? Blame it on him for offending someone he shouldn’t have. Besides that, but Qin Han’s medical skills alone make him worth wooing by many major clans."

"So what if he has great medical skills? Our Chen family has money and power, aren’t we capable of hiring top doctors?" Chen Chengnan said defiantly.

The old patriarch sighed, looking at Chen Chengnan with a mixture of frustration and anger, and said, "I really don’t know how you were chosen to be the family head! If you can’t even see through this matter, how can you be expected to carry on the Chen family’s legacy?"

"That old guy, Ming Yukan, was already declared medically dead and was miraculously saved by him; can his medical skills be measured by money?"

"It seems these years that vixen has clouded your judgment for too long. Hmph! If you’re tired, then pass the position to the next generation."

Upon hearing this, Chen Chengnan shuddered and immediately said, "I realize my mistake, father." frёeweɓηovel_coɱ

"Hmm, go out, I’m somewhat tired," the old patriarch said faintly.

When Chen Chengnan reached the front hall, Tan Hongyan was still sitting there, lost in thought.

As soon as she saw Chen Chengnan emerge, Tan Hongyan quickly stood up and walked briskly to him, just about to speak but Chen Chengnan interrupted her.

Chen Chengnan said impatiently, "Let the matter of Tian be handled like this. Do not think about seeking revenge for him. If I find out you’re moving the family guards without permission again, you will leave the Chen house."

After speaking, Chen Chengnan walked away without looking back, leaving a stunned Tan Hongyan behind.

Zhongzhou Military Hospital.

Qin Han looked at the few people before him and said, "Your injuries are largely no problem now, no need to rush in martial arts. Number Three, Yuan Liang, you guys go out first, I need to talk to Wan Shan about some matters."

"Yes, Mr. Qin." The two responded and left the ward together with Zhang Yalin and Song Yuwei.

In the corridor, Ming Xizhi told Liu Hongwen that when Zhang Henian was young, he was the personal Imperial Physician of the old master and had a son named Zhang Wanlong, who was enlisted together with Ming Xizhi’s elder brother, Ming Zhihui, under the old master’s arrangement.

During one mission, their team was surrounded by enemies, leaving only the two of them. They barely managed to hold on until a rescue helicopter arrived, only to be spotted by enemy reinforcements.

At that time, they were less than ten meters from the helicopter, but the enemy fire from behind was fierce, bullets whizzing past their heads, and the pursuers were closing in.

Zhang Wanlong grabbed Ming Xizhi by the waist and shouted in mid-air, "Zhihui, you go first! You must go first, use my body as a leverage point, quick!"

The situation was critical, there was no time for hesitation, and Ming Zhihui, with tears in his eyes, had no choice but to step on Zhang Wanlong’s chest and leap onto the helicopter. The force pushed Zhang Wanlong backward, and in this manner, he was captured by the enemies, later choosing death over surrender, and was killed by the enemy.

Afterwards, Zhang Yalin, then only six years old, accidentally saw this video in the old master’s office. Being so young and unable to discern right from wrong, she misunderstood and thought that Ming Zhihui had sacrificed Zhang Wanlong to save his own life.

Following this incident, driven by Zhang Yalin’s threat of suicide, Zhang Henian took his daughter and mother away from the Ming family.

Ming Xizhi was sent abroad for training when he was very young, and these events were told to him by the old master after Ming Zhihui’s sacrifice, when Ming Xizhi returned home.

Therefore, Zhang Yalin hated the people of the Ming family. Ming Xizhi wasn’t angry at Zhang Yalin because of Zhang Wanlong’s benevolence toward the Ming family, and the old master’s instructions to remember the Zhang’s kindness towards the Ming family through every generation, especially towards Zhang Yalin, who was to be treated as if she were the Ming family’s own daughter.

However, Zhang Henian and Zhang Yalin never contacted the Ming family after leaving, and if not for the grave illness of the old master of the Ming family this time, Zhang Henian probably wouldn’t have returned to the Ming family.

"So that’s how it is," Liu Hongwen thought to himself. Although the eldest son had also sacrificed, if it weren’t for the eldest son’s influence in the military at that time, the Ming family wouldn’t have its current strength. Everything the Ming family has now is because Zhang Wanlong exchanged it with his life.

Just as Ming Xizhi turned around, he saw Number Three and others coming out of the ward, with Zhang Yalin supporting a young man, his brow furrowing deeply.

He got up and walked up to them.

"Qin Han has matters to discuss with Old Master Zhong, if you need something, you better wait until next time," Zhang Yalin said coldly.

Ming Xizhi looked at Zhang Yalin with a pained expression, knowing that for someone who lost their father at the age of six, the pain was profoundly etched in their heart.

"Yalin, I’m not looking for Mr. Qin, actually, you’ve misunderstood the events from back then, the real situation was..."

"Shut up! I have eyes, I can see! Now please disappear immediately!" Zhang Yalin didn’t even give Ming Xizhi a chance to speak.

Ming Xizhi looked at Zhang Yalin with a wry smile on his face, knowing she didn’t want to see anyone from the Ming family right now. He shook his head and quickly left the hospital with Liu Hongwen, although the guards they brought remained in the hospital.

"Zhang Old-tiger, who was that just now?" Zhong Yuanliang asked, watching Ming Xizhi’s retreating figure.

Yet, as Zhong Yuanliang spoke, he felt a chill run through his body, and turning his head, he met Zhang Yalin’s murderous gaze.
