For some reason, Zhang looked extremely pale, his face filled with terror.

"You seem to doubt my words, don't you find it hard to believe?" Ye Chen said to Zhang with a hint of sincerity. "Below your right rib, the Ying Ling Acupoint, press down, and you'll know if everything I've told you is true!"

Ye Chen spoke with an effortless grace, as an inexplicable charm emanated from him. Zhang was completely stunned by Ye Chen's words!

However, everyone present was baffled. Liu Zhenglong and He Xihui were utterly astonished; this drama was simply too legendary!

Zhang Xinlan and Liu Shihua were also silently questioning. They had thought that Ye Chen was going to use brute force when he mentioned beating a dog, but who knew he would stage such a performance!

The beautiful assistant looked at Ye Chen with a hint of fear, considering his recent words, she found him to be terrifying!

All eyes were on Zhang. They were all eager to know if he would follow Ye Chen's instructions!

"You win, you've broken my psychological defenses!" Zhang said with sweat pouring down his face, finding the young man before him terrifying.

Ye Chen had advanced step by step, trapping him in a circle with his words, and what was frightening was that Zhang couldn't escape it. Every single word from Ye Chen was like a pearl, real and alarming, and it made Zhang's heart tremble with fear!

"Thank you for your trust. But in the end, you'll be grateful to me, for I will have helped you understand exactly how you died!" Ye Chen smiled.

Ye Chen's words were calm, but to Zhang, they sounded like a curse in his ears.

"I'll just press the Ying Ling Acupoint and break through your absurd theories!" Zhang declared.

What Ye Chen said was too bizarre. Even if Zhang didn't believe it in his heart, he wanted to verify it himself.

"Very well, let's wait and see," Ye Chen said, retreating three steps away from Zhang.

Zhang took a deep breath, then placed his hand on the Ying Ling Acupoint under his right rib, glancing at everyone present.

Everyone watched Zhang's movements with extreme nervousness, highly anticipating the outcome!

"Puff!"

Zhang pressed hard on his Ying Ling Acupoint with his fingers. A ferocious expression flashed across his face as he seemed to endure great pain. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, a gush of blood sprayed from his mouth, and he collapsed to the ground.

"Zhang, what's wrong with you!"

Seeing this, the people around were shocked. How could Zhang make himself vomit blood by pressing on his own body?!

"You reap what you sow," Ye Chen sighed as he looked at the pool of blood beneath him.

At this moment, Ye Chen seemed so carefree and awe-inspiring. Thinking back to his carefully chosen words, his figure instantly rose in everyone's hearts to great heights.

It was then that Liu Zhenglong realized. Before Zhang pressed the acupoint, Ye Chen had taken three steps back, a move that had initially puzzled Liu, but seeing the bloodstain beneath Ye Chen's feet, he suddenly seemed to have an epiphany!

Damn, this is like having a Prophet, a god-like presence!

"Sun Yan, come help me up!" Zhang, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, called out to his beautiful assistant.

"Okay, right away!" The assistant hurriedly helped Zhang up, but she was clearly still in shock, scared silly by the bizarre scene.

"Ye Chen, what's the situation here, this has nothing to do with you, right?" Liu Shihua asked.

Zhang was fine before, but after Ye Chen's hoodwinking, he ended up vomiting blood, which made Liu Shihua feel somewhat guilty, wondering if Ye Chen had done something secretly.

"It's all due to his own reasons. I was simply being kind and informing him of his condition!" Ye Chen replied with the air of a Saint.

"..."

Liu Shihua was speechless at Ye Chen's sanctimonious act, which was clearly that of a trickster causing someone to vomit blood, yet now he was posing as a Saint.

"Thud!"

With the help of his assistant, Zhang approached Ye Chen and then knelt before him with knees giving way. "Divine Doctor, you must save my life!"

Zhang's kneeling was so decisive, so forthright, without any hesitation!

After vomiting blood, all the oppressive and painful feelings in Zhang's body had vanished, which only terrified him more!

The Ying Ling Acupoint is just a minor point on the human body, and normally, even if someone stabbed it with a knife, it wouldn't be fatal!

But merely pressing it with his hand caused him immense pain and a bout of serious bleeding. This was not the reaction of a normal person. Could it be that his life was truly in jeopardy?

Zhang was seen as a divine doctor by others, but even he couldn't understand his own state and could only beg Ye Chen for help, the junior he had just scorned and denigrated!

Liu Zhenglong and the others felt pity seeing Zhang's pathetic appearance, begging Ye Chen on his knees for his life. The sight of him questioning Ye Chen's credentials only moments before and now begging for salvation was incredibly stunning!

However, Ye Chen's stature grew even taller, resembling a real-life, god-like man!

"It's not that I don't want to save you, but your current situation is truly hopeless!" Ye Chen earnestly replied. Even though Zhang had been unpleasant to him before, Ye Chen did not wish to deceive when it came to life and death.

"However, if you remain chaste and from now on focus solely on cultivating your strength, with some good fortune, you might still live for another three to five years!" Ye Chen added sagely,

"This!"

Zhang was terrified; he was not even forty years old yet. Even if he could live another three or five years, his death would be untimely!

"It's not that I want to see you die without helping; it's just that I am powerless to help," Ye Chen said. After all, he was only human, not a god!

Zhang knelt before Ye Chen, looking up at him with a face that flickered with uncertainty.

"Thank you, thank you for allowing me to die with clear understanding!"

In the end, Zhang sighed deeply, and in that moment, it seemed a few more strands of his hair turned white.

However, even if Ye Chen said his condition was beyond help, he would still visit various authoritative hospitals for a thorough check-up; he wanted to make a final struggle for life!

"You're welcome," Ye Chen responded.

"Mr. Liu, I am at my wit's end with your matter, I shall take my leave!" Zhang rose to his feet, bowing to Liu Zhenglong.

"No problem, take care of your health!" Liu Zhenglong said with complex emotions in his intonation.

Zhang was originally Liu Zhenglong's personal physician. If he could have helped this wealthy Mr. Liu to conceive a child, he would have received fifty million. But in the end, he met such a fate, which was truly lamentable.

"Sun Yan, let's go!" Zhang called out.

"Okay!"

The beautiful assistant nodded. Her cash cow was about to vanish, which was a not insignificant blow to her. It seemed she needed to find a new backer soon!

With the support of his beautiful assistant, Zhang left in a desolate state under everyone's gaze, leaving behind only the trail of a blood arrow at Ye Chen's feet.

"Even though you have offended me, I do not wish for you to die. It's just your bad luck!" Ye Chen muttered to himself.

Zhang's solemn and sorrowful retreat contrasted with Ye Chen's proud solitude, and this left Liu Zhenglong and his wife, along with Zhang Xinlan and the two girls, still in a baffled state.

"Ye Chen, were you just fooling him?" Liu Shihua asked, blinking at Ye Chen.

To determine life and death with a few words seemed too fantastical to Liu Shihua. She knew Ye Chen to be a master of deception, and she was sure he was tricking Zhang.

"No, he really is about to die," Ye Chen replied earnestly.

Liu Shihua: "..."

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Liu Zhenglong started clapping with boundless admiration in his eyes.

"Mr. Ye, your performance was truly spectacular!" Liu Zhenglong declared. "However, there's something I don't understand. How exactly did you know about Zhang's affairs?"

"Could you possibly enlighten me?"

"Yeah, Ye Chen, you were really amazing just now. How did you do that?" He Xihui chimed in, egging her husband on.

"It was all random guesses!" Ye Chen said with a smile, seemingly unwilling to reveal too much.

"Ye Chen, stop beating around the bush. Just tell us, we all want to know!" Zhang Xinlan tugged at Ye Chen's sleeve, also very keen to know the answer, considering Ye Chen's performance was extraordinarily mystical!

"Tell us!" Liu Shihua demanded coldly.

Ye Chen's performance was simply awe-inspiring, unraveling so many of Zhang's secrets and even tricking Zhang into coughing up blood on his own. It was an incredibly cool and awe-striking act!

"Since you all want to know, I guess I can reveal a little," Ye Chen said helplessly, spreading his hands. "The four methods of Chinese medicine diagnosis are visual examination, listening and smelling, inquiring, and palpation. You know that, right?"

"Understood!"

"But you and Zhang never touched from the beginning to the end, how did you see through all his ailments with just a look?"

This was everyone's question. Ye Chen's performance was too divine, too strange!

"I used three of the four diagnostic methods: inspecting his vitality and energy, listening for his life force, and inquiring about his condition," Ye Chen explained.

"But how did you know that he was skinny and in poor health as a child? And how did you know that the beautiful assistant has been his kept lover for years? How did you know he urinated blood? How did you know his endurance was several hours long and that he was unable to release?" Liu Shihua assumed the role of an investigative reporter, with too many questions to enumerate.

"How should I explain this to you?" Ye Chen scratched his head, finding it bothersome to clarify all these inquiries. "It's too complicated. Even if I tell you, you wouldn't understand. Just know that I am the Divine Doctor!"

"No, you must tell," Liu Shihua insisted.

"Uh!" Ye Chen blinked and said to everyone, "Do you know physiognomy?"
