Chapter 14: Sito Ho-nan

  "Wow, Chen Haonan."

  Is this really the Xī Zǐhào of our imagination?

  That's Da Fei Ge...

  Distinct facial features, a thick beard crawling up his cheeks, two big eyes gleaming with vigor, and a robust tall physique.

  Is this... Seto Ran's second uncle? The famous doctor Seto Kozunam?

  This is the big brother of the underworld, Da Fei Ge!

  Xīu Lán has already mischievously run to Second Uncle's side.

  "Second Uncle... he's Chen Haonan."

  "Hello, Uncle..." Chen Haonan greeted him warmly, but felt a little strange in his heart.

  It seems like he's greeting himself. He secretly smiled wryly for a while.

  Situ Haonan stared at Haonan's face without responding.

  He finally let out a sigh of relief after a long time.

  "He looks quite handsome, but... obviously has insufficient energy and blood, isn't it because of excessive indulgence in lust?"

  Uh... Second Uncle's eyes are really sharp, one look and he can tell what this guy does for a living, it's all over... Xīu Lán began to mourn in his heart.

  Chen Haonan then awkwardly smiled and didn't know how to respond.

  Situ Haonan beckoned him over with a wave of his hand, indicating for him to come over. "I heard from Situ Lan that you've got a problem with your Achilles tendon. Come sit down and let me take a look."

  Chen Haonan listened and walked over, then sat down on the sofa and took off his shoes.

  Sze-to Ho-nam didn't even wear gloves or anything, and casually grabbed Chen Ho-nam's feet with his hands to take a look.

  "These feet are even more beautiful than a woman's feet, Xiaolan. From now on, don't wear high heels anymore. Look at Haonan's feet, they're much better looking than yours..."

  Pfft——

  "Second uncle, don't belittle me. I'm running around everywhere for interviews every day, my feet are almost blistered. How can I compare to Chen Haonan? He doesn't even need to leave his house all day."

  Uh... there's a message in this message, Chen Haonan's face turned quite dark, but he didn't respond.

  Sze-to's hand was wandering over his foot, his thumb and index finger constantly pressing the acupressure points, almost making Chan laugh out loud.

  Xu Hao Nan's hand gradually extended to his ankle, then pulled out a wooden mallet from under the table and started pounding on his Achilles tendon and calf.

  "Second Uncle, look at this crippled foot, is there still a way to cure it?" asked Sito Lan anxiously, "If not, just say so directly."

  The first half sentence is still okay, but the second sentence is simply a slap in the face of Chen Haonan.

  "Xiao Lan, be tactful, understand? How can you speak to a patient in this tone? They will be hurt!" Si Tu Hao Nan stopped his actions and educated Si Tu Lan, very seriously.

  Then he looked up and stared at Chen Haonan seriously for a long time without speaking again.

  Chen Haonan smiled awkwardly: "How is it? Nothing, just say it straight out, I'm not used to being hit for the first time, get used to it."

  It's easy to say, but he was still disappointed. Looking at Si Tu Hao Nan not speaking, he understood in his heart that the result had already explained everything.

  "This illness has a long history, it's absolutely not just a matter of one or two days. Congenital muscle atrophy symptoms... there are two wounds on your heel, were they caused by something that happened earlier?"

  Sze-to Ho-nam did not directly announce his death but instead curiously inquired about the symptoms of Chan Ho-nam.

  Chen Haonan nodded slightly, taking it as a default.

  "So neat, must have been chopped off, at such a young age learning from others to get involved in the underworld? Coming out to mix is something that needs to be repaid!"

  This remark left Chen Haonan speechless, and he could only listen quietly to his teachings...

  "However,"

  At this time, however, Situ Haonan burst out laughing.

  "That's what others owe you, not what you owe others."

  "Huh? Chen Haonan and Situ Lan were both a bit stunned, how to understand this? He was cut twice by himself, or did someone return it to him? They couldn't understand what Situ Haonan's words meant."

  "These two knives are like performing surgery on you, instantly making your blood flow much smoother, it's a good thing!"

  Oh?!?!

  Situ Lan hastily pulled out a tape recorder and began recording.

  "Xiao Lan, I'm going to charge you for this. Don't think my words are worthless. Hmph! How much do you owe me now? If you don't give me the money, I'll ask your dad for it!"

  "Go ahead, and by the way, can you help me get some reimbursement for food expenses? I'm almost out of money..."

  Good grief... these two are really something, Chen Haonan sighed, feeling a bit anxious, he still wanted to hear the rest of the story.

  "Otherwise, Western medicine is too reliant on science. Back then, they wouldn't even give you a surgical incision, and that way you wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state. I reckon you could still make a name for yourself in the Brazilian league?"

  "What? So those two knives actually helped him?" Sito Lan asked incredulously, her beautiful eyes wide with surprise.

  Chen Haonan's eyes also lit up, as if he had been favored by God, and a thread of excitement rose from the bottom of his heart.

  "But still, it's just a drop in the bucket. Think about it, this illness has been accumulating for over a decade, can it be cleared up overnight? I'm not even sure if this illness can be cured." Just as he had given Chen Haonan a glimmer of hope, he crushed his spirits once again.

  "But isn't this just the same as not saying anything at all? Can it be cured or not, if it can be cured then cure it, Second Uncle, don't be so ambiguous."

  Xīng Tuó Lán was anxious, she still wanted to finish the manuscript in her heart. If Second Uncle didn't have the ability to cure Chen Haonan, how could her manuscript proceed?

  "She's not your woman, what are you in a hurry for......" Unexpectedly, Si Tu Hao Nan was so rude and spoke like this.

  "That's hard to say, who knows what will happen in the future... Besides, I like sister-brother love, no wonder Haonan is my target, haha." But Situ Lan didn't blush, instead she continued to spin a story based on Situ Haonan's words.

  Just anxious Chen Haonan, this group of thick-skinned enough, but still can't stop being shy.

  His ears suddenly rang with Mountain Chicken's joke that day, telling him to find a sister-in-law to bring back.

  The young lady in front of him, the second daughter of a wealthy family, was indeed kind and beautiful, with a good fortune to boot, making her a perfect match. However, he just smiled awkwardly, hiding his humble and discomfited heart.

  "Hao Nan, your illness is not incurable, but it requires a very strong willpower. Can you do it?" asked Si Tu Hao Nan, who finally regained his composure and spoke seriously.

  Chen Haonan was still reeling from Situ Lan's words when he heard Situ say this, his two eyes gleaming like an underground party hiding in the human world, shining brightly and radiating light.

  "As long as I don't die, I'm fine!" He nodded sincerely and firmly.

  That's hope, as long as it's something hopeful and not a death wish, can't he just do it?!

  His body has been sold out, what else can make him retreat?

  "Alright, I'll come up with a treatment plan for you tomorrow."

  It's raining meatballs! Chen Haonan was so excited that he almost kowtowed to Situ Haonan.

  His face was filled with excitement, his hands kept trembling, and he even forgot to say thank you.

  "Don't be too proud of yourself, this thing is a piece of cake for my second uncle, easy!"

  Situ Lan was also very pleased and didn't forget to praise Situ Haonan.

  "But... is this medicine expensive?" Chen Haonan suddenly thought of this serious question after his excitement.

  Medicine fee? Sze-toh Lan and Sze-toh Hon Nam looked at each other, then burst out laughing...

  Huh? What are you guys laughing at? Is my question that ridiculous? Chen Haonan looked at them awkwardly, not understanding.

  "Chen Haonan... my second uncle's family, rich and with many medicines, but no patients. Ah, you don't know, he also has a nickname, 'medicine fool'..."

  "What's wrong?"

  ……
