Live Broadcast: My Blunt TCM Practice and My Patients Are Dying Online - Chapter 66

Seeing Jin Yu lost for words, Lü Tian knew she still cared about her reputation.

He pulled out ten thousand yuan from his bag and threw it in Jin Yu’s face.

“Watch your mouth. Don’t call me over for this kind of trash again, or I promise you’ll end up in a very bad way.”

Qin Jiang never expected someone would dare act so arrogantly in his clinic.

“Wait a moment.”

Qin Jiang stopped Lü Tian.

“Come here. Let me examine you.”

Lü Tian first looked around the traditional Chinese medicine clinic, then stared at Qin Jiang with disdain.

“You? Examine me? You think you’re qualified?”

“Ever heard of Huaxi Hospital? The director is an old friend of mine. Why would I need a small-time TCM doctor like you to examine me? What a joke.”

Unfazed, Qin Jiang replied calmly,
“Lately, have you been experiencing full-body aches, the kind that feel like they’re deep in your bones?”

The corner of Lü Tian’s mouth twitched, and his expression toward Qin Jiang shifted slightly.

Qin Jiang took a slow sip of tea before continuing:

“The right side of your body feels a bit numb too, right? Feeling weak and sore when you wake up in the morning, sometimes even finding it hard to turn over?”

Lü Tian swallowed hard, his face paling.

“How… how did you know?”

Qin Jiang smiled kindly.

“Just now, I saw your mouth twitch. That wasn’t a habit before, was it? Started in the last month or so?”

Lü Tian rushed to the consultation desk, his gaze intense.

“You’re a miracle doctor!”

“Doctor, since you can tell what’s wrong with me, can you cure it?”

Qin Jiang chuckled lightly.

“Didn’t you say you didn’t want me treating you?”

“That I wasn’t qualified.”

Lü Tian quickly backtracked.

“You are! Absolutely you are!”

“If you’re not qualified, I can’t think of anyone in this world who is!”

No wonder Lü Tian was so excited.

He’d been to Huaxi Hospital several times for these symptoms. They ran every test imaginable but couldn’t pinpoint the root cause.

They only knew his nerve signals were abnormal lately, speculating it might be some neurological disorder.

But the nervous system is too mysterious.

For those doctors, neurology might as well be metaphysics.

Without finding the root cause, they couldn’t find a solution.

Lü Tian could already feel his control over his body weakening.

Seeing that Qin Jiang seemed uninterested in engaging further,

Lü Tian quickly pulled out his wallet, producing several bank cards.

“Doctor, just name your price. How much to cure this?”

“Whatever you charge, I won’t haggle! Just cure me!”

Jin Yu and the puppy-like young man were stunned.

The overbearing Lü Tian from moments ago was now being this humble?

Qin Jiang frowned.

“What’s the rush? There’s an order to these things. Go wait in line over there. I’ll call you later.”

Lü Tian acknowledged and obediently went to wait in line.

Qin Jiang smiled faintly.

The power of money? Is that all?

It just goes to show: in the face of life and death, nothing else matters. Everyone is equal.

“Miss Jin Yu, take a seat. Let’s continue.”

Jin Yu sat down, looking uneasy.

“Dr. Qin, now that we’re sure Manager Lü passed the disease to me, can my condition be cured?”

Qin Jiang shook his head.

“Initially, I thought he passed it to you. But now it seems that’s not the case.”

“Huh?”

Jin Yu was very confused.
“You mean my syphilis didn’t come from Manager Lü? That can’t be right. I haven’t been… involved with anyone else improperly.”

Qin Jiang gave Jin Yu a strange look.

“There’s one possibility. It’s rare, but it does happen.”

“What possibility?” Jin Yu pressed urgently.

“Have you had any contact with seafood recently?”

Qin Jiang’s question struck Jin Yu like a thunderbolt. She began stammering.

“No, Dr. Qin, why… why are you asking that all of a sudden?”

“Just answer the question honestly.”

Jin Yu lowered her head and spoke softly, “I have been eating quite a lot of seafood lately.”

The puppy-like young man chimed in beside her.

“Yeah, lately, I don’t know why, but Jin Yu kept insisting on eating seafood. So we bought a lot of it.”

Qin Jiang asked another question: “Frozen?”

“No, fresh.”

The puppy-like young man sounded a little proud at this point.

“Jin Yu likes seafood, and she insists on it being fresh. So I go to the fish market every day and ask the vendor for the freshest stuff they have.”

“Can you show me what kinds of seafood you’ve bought recently?”

The young man, suspecting nothing, immediately pulled up pictures of his receipts on his phone and showed them to Qin Jiang.

These were his proof of love for Jin Yu, so of course he kept them carefully.

But Jin Yu clearly realized something. She kept her head down, silent, looking extremely uncomfortable.

Lü Tian, sitting nearby, smiled broadly, clearly also aware of what was really going on.

After reviewing the seafood receipts, Qin Jiang sighed.

“Now I understand what happened.”

The puppy-like young man, still unaware of the severity, smiled and said, “Glad I could help, Dr. Qin.”

Qin Jiang looked at Jin Yu.

“The live streams you usually do… are they somewhat against the rules, aren’t they?”

Huh?
The smile froze on the puppy-like young man’s face standing nearby.

What did Dr. Qin mean by that?
Jin Yu defended herself quietly, “Doctor, what does that have to do with my illness?”

“It has everything to do with it. Your illness was caused by your live streams. If I’m not mistaken, your live streams probably involve… seafood, right? Eel-type creatures, for instance.”

Boom!
The moment Qin Jiang said this, the live stream chat exploded.

Liu Yan’s brain even short-circuited for a moment, completely failing to grasp what Qin Jiang meant.

“Whoa! Knowledge just entered my brain in the weirdest way possible.”

“Live streams related to seafood?”

“No wonder the name sounded so familiar! She really is an ‘old acquaintance’!”

“From what the doctor is saying, she plays some pretty wild games, huh?”

“Bro, it’s not just wild, it’s downright depraved!”

Jin Yu felt utterly mortified.

She said through gritted teeth:
“Dr. Qin, what possible connection could there be?”

Qin Jiang looked very serious.

“Of course there’s a connection!”

“Don’t you know that seafood lives in seawater and can carry toxins and diseases?”

“My initial assessment is that your illness was transmitted by those… slippery eels.”

Jin Yu was stunned.

The live stream comments started flooding the screen again.

“Oh my god, it is what I was thinking, isn’t it?”

“The youth these days… she’s really willing to do anything for money!”

“No wonder Manager Lü was smiling so sleazily. So that’s it. Is this what a ‘top donor’ gets to see?”

“Can someone explain this for the uninitiated?”

“It can be transmitted that way, but the probability is very low. After all, the main transmission routes for this disease aren’t related to seafood. But I guess there’s always someone pushing the boundaries.”

“Let’s just say the eel never saw it coming.”

“The eel: Should’ve just rotted in the ocean.”
