Female Star's Personal Bodyguard

"Alright, there's no need for a commotion; the Divine Doctor is right before us." Chu Yanran listened to these experts' inquiries and couldn't help but frown. "Mr. Qi, please organize the old madam's medical records. Mr. Ye needs to see them!"

Chu Yanran directed her orders to one of the experts in the group, who was none other than the Empress's Imperial Physician, Qi Bai. He was the most skilled and authoritative among the experts and also the leader of this expert group.

"Director Chu, the materials are already prepared!" Qi Bai said. As the Empress's chief Imperial Physician, he was obviously well-prepared.

"Good, let Mr. Ye take a look at the medical records and devise a treatment plan! The old madam's condition isn't stable—delay will invite changes!" Chu Yanran spoke very seriously.

"Alright," Qi Bai complied.

As Chu Yanran and Qi Bai conversed, the other authoritative figures were somewhat baffled. Could Mr. Ye be that wondrous Divine Doctor? But where was the Divine Doctor?

A veteran authority with flower-shaped glasses couldn't help but push up the frames on his nose. The Divine Doctor had arrived, but why hadn't he seen him? Could it be his glaucoma had recurred, and his presbyopia had worsened?

However, when they saw Qi Bai organizing the materials he was carrying and handing them over to a young man, these authoritative experts were completely dumbfounded!

"Mr. Ye, here are all of the old madam's medical records for you to peruse!" Qi Bai's attitude was very polite; as a favored individual by Chu Yanran's side, he knew quite a bit about Ye Chen's exploits.

Just the day before, Ye Chen had saved the young master and the old madam. Li Weiguo had lavishly praised Ye Chen's lifesaving methods, causing Qi Bai to be somewhat incredulous.

But it was only after the Empress had called him for a private talk regarding the young master that Qi Bai realized what kind of person this Mr. Ye really was!

The young master's condition was beyond human help, yet the young man before him could take action—Qi Bai could only look up to him!

This Mr. Qi was not a stubborn old fogy; he was naturally aware that new talents emerged in each generation and knew not to judge by appearances. However, when he actually met Ye Chen, he couldn't help but be surprised inwardly. This remarkable person was too young!

"Much appreciated, Mr. Qi!" Ye Chen responded with a smile and a nod. Mr. Qi had been courteous to him, and he didn't mind returning a smile.

In fact, on the way there in the car, Chu Yanran had already simplified the old madam's condition and told everything to Ye Chen, giving him a rough idea. Nonetheless, Ye Chen still needed to review the medical records himself. Human life was at stake, and no physician should make a rash judgment!

Empress Chu Yanran had a solemn expression, Qi Bai, the leader of the expert group, was earnest, and Ye Chen appeared professional as he flipped through the medical records in his hand, driving the other eight authoritative experts in the group almost to madness!

"Director Chu, who is he?" an expert stepped forward, pointed at Ye Chen, and asked Chu Yanran. "How can just anyone flip through the old madam's medical records?"

"He is Mr. Ye, the physician I've invited. From now on, he will have full authority to decide on the treatment for the old madam!" Chu Yanran said, her tone carrying an irresistible authority.

Chu Yanran had an extraordinary confidence in Ye Chen. This man could resolve her son's Solitary Star Fate, so surely the severity of her mother-in-law's illness would find resolution in his hands.

However, Chu Yanran did not bestow the title of Divine Doctor upon Ye Chen. That mantle was too heavy, and she feared he wouldn't be able to bear it if he failed.

Sure enough, upon hearing Chu Yanran declare that this young man, Ye Chen, was the Divine Doctor she had brought for the old madam, all of the old guards in the medical community were stunned.

"Nonsense!" After a brief silence, an elder expert exploded in rage. "How can a young nobody discern an illness? This is endangering human life!"

"Physicians can kill without a knife, Director Chu, have you lost your mind?" another elder spoke up at this time.

All eight were renowned physicians of the Huaxia medical community, authorities in their respective fields. Even facing Empress Chu Yanran, they dared to offer their criticisms.

Because in these experts' eyes, Chu Yanran's decision to invite Ye Chen to diagnose the old madam was a mistake—a gravely serious one!

Li Weiguo stood by silently. He had suffered at Ye Chen's hands before, still wearing the bandages from that encounter, but after learning of Ye Chen's identity, Li Weiguo held no resentment—only deep respect.

He had come here, knowing that the array these experts had presented meant there would be an interesting spectacle today. When he saw the authoritative figures starting to cause an uproar over Ye Chen, Li Weiguo already began to snicker to himself.

Ye Chen's face-slapping technique was about to show these stubborn old men why flowers were so red!

"Enough, the old madam is my mother, would I harm her?" Chu Yanran spoke out.

"He's too young, and even if he is a physician, he might only be fit to treat headaches and fevers. How could he manage the old madam's illness!" one of the elder experts said at that moment.

No sooner had the elder expert spoken than he received agreement from the other experts—it was clear that these authorities were somewhat dissatisfied with Chu Yanran's hasty decision.

"He can't cure her, and you think you can?" Chu Yanran raised an eyebrow and admonished the group of experts in a low voice.

Who was Chu Yanran? An internationally renowned business empress. At that moment, her frown and stern voice carried an indescribable dominance and authority, instantly quelling the dissent from those questioned experts.

In fact, it wasn't that these experts were afraid of Chu Yanran. Their bowing was due to the shame in their hearts. They kept challenging Chu Yanran, questioning the qualifications of this young physician, but what right did they have to do so when they were also helpless against the old lady's disease, what right did they have to chastise others.

Ye Chen looked at Chu Yanran's mesmerizing grace, his heart pounding uncontrollably. She was so beautiful at that moment.

"Experts, authorities, listen to me," Ye Chen closed the data in his hands, sweeping a glance over those experts who were unconvinced by him. "I may be young, it's true, but I do not believe that my medical skills are inferior because of that."

Ye Chen's sincere words only provoked sneers from the previously silent experts. Ignorant child, spouting nonsense.

Seeing the skeptical looks and disdainful attitudes of those experts, Ye Chen finally grew displeased.

"Since none of you believe in me, why don't we make a bet?" Ye Chen finally bared his fangs.

"You, a youngster, what qualifications do you have to bet with us?" one of the experts said, not bothering to hide his contempt. "But, out of respect for Chu, we old men will take your bet, why not!"

Ye Chen was practically laughed by the remark. He, a man standing tall and proud, would never need a woman to take arrows for him—it was a disgrace!

"Fine!" Ye Chen looked at the group of experts, his voice tinged with a hint of menace. "If I cannot awaken the old lady, I will chop off my own arms, leaving me disabled and unable to practice medicine for life!"

At Ye Chen's words, the eight great experts felt a jolt of panic. Chopping off arms was quite extreme—though they were of advanced age and their arms and legs were not what they used to be, they still hoped to have their bodies intact when they were laid to rest in their coffins!

The experts fell silent, and Chu Yanran didn't comment either. Ye Chen indeed needed to prove his abilities.

"You're single, but there are eight of us!" an old expert looked at Ye Chen sideways, the implication clear, unfair!

If Ye Chen lost, he only had to chop off his two arms, but if they lost, they would have to chop off sixteen arms. To the gathered experts, this bet seemed quite unfair to them.

"Hahaha~!" Upon hearing the old expert's words, Ye Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud. "If I lose, I'll chop off my arms, but if you lose, you don't have to chop off yours too; that's too violent for you elders!"

"Then what about us?" the expert asked.

"All eight of you, together, will take me as your master and show me respect!" Ye Chen pointed assertively at the eight authorities.

As soon as Ye Chen spoke, Qi Bai, who had kept himself apart, couldn't help but show a look of surprise. This Mr. Ye was truly fearless, daring to say anything. If someone else had made such a claim, Qi Bai would have scolded them, because not even a medical authority could stand the reverence of these eight experts! However, given Ye Chen's special identity, even if Qi Bai felt it was a bit much, he wouldn't make a statement.

"You really have quite the nerve!" An old expert trembled with rage, pointing at Ye Chen.

The terms of the bet proposed by Ye Chen, requiring them to acknowledge him as their master, nearly brought the panel of experts to the brink of spitting blood, completely flabbergasted.

"I'll chop off my own arms if I lose, and if you lose, you just need to symbolically take me as your master. Aren't you willing?" Ye Chen said.

Seeing the experts hesitate, Ye Chen, now the imperious King, scanned all around him, radiating boundless authority, looking down on the group of old experts with utmost arrogance.

"I'll take that bet! Today, I'll go all in against you. I refuse to believe that a young boy like you can achieve a great feat, curing the old lady!" An old expert, unable to stand Ye Chen's arrogance, spoke out angrily.

"Yes, let's do as Old Huang suggests, we're betting!" Another old expert exclaimed, clearly also provoked by Ye Chen.

"We all know the severity of the old lady's illness. Even if Hua Tuo were alive, he would struggle to perform a miraculous cure. Betting against this arrogant youth, we'll surely teach him the lesson of severed arms!"

Ye Chen's pride and arrogance successfully infuriated these eminent experts. One by one, they agreed to face Ye Chen in a bet.

Chu Yanran noticed this scene, feeling somewhat moved. These experts were authorities in various fields of the medical world, pillars of the medical community. They were actually agreeing to Ye Chen's bet, could it be that the old lady's condition was indeed beyond help?

However, seeing Ye Chen's nonchalant demeanor, Chu Yanran's anxiety gradually eased. Some people liked to astound the world with a single brilliant feat, and Ye Chen was undoubtedly among them.

"A gentleman's word, once given, cannot be taken back even by a team of horses!" Ye Chen and the eight experts had reached a jovial agreement.

"Chu will witness this. No one dares to back out!" the authorities declared.
