Chapter 396: Chapter 278: Chen Clan’s Past, Imperial Physician!

Leaving the department, Qin Feng happened to run into Meng Dawei, who had just finished surgery.

“Qin Feng, are you off work?”

“Yes, Director, I’m taking a break.”

He nodded with a smile.

“In that case, I’ll give you an extra day off. Last time you had a break, you ended up coming in. This time you can make it up and have a good rest for two days.”

Meng Dawei thought for a moment, patted his shoulder, and said with relief,

“You’ve been busy with surgeries lately and must be tired. Take advantage of the weekend to spend time with your girlfriend, and I’ll take care of the department.”

“Really?”

Hearing this, Qin Feng looked pleasantly surprised, “Then I won’t be polite, Director, hahaha!”

“Go on, go on, I won’t delay your rest.”

After saying this, Meng Dawei smiled and returned to the office, while he hummed a tune and shuffled away, jingling his keys.

When he passed by the consultation desk and saw Lan Jing still there, he went over to remind her.

“Xiaojing, don’t forget the little girl’s medical record, I’m on vacation for the next two days.”

“Dr. Qin, you’re finally taking a break.”

At the side, Chu Huihui breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest with relief,

“What do you mean by that?”

Qin Feng was puzzled.

“Dr. Qin, don’t you check the duty roster yourself?”

Chu Huihui looked at him with a surprised expression, “You haven’t even had a week’s rest in the past six months, less than the emergency department!”

“We all thought you were made of iron~”

“Hehehe~”

Only then did he realize, scratching his head awkwardly.

His energy was indeed a bit excessive, not feeling tired even after staying awake for two or three days.

The key point was, after work, Qin Feng could still take good care of Liu Yan’Er, cooking a meal when he had some free time to fill the culinary void.

It didn’t interfere with the harmonious life that a couple should have until she begged for mercy.

You could even call him a ’master of time management.’

…

As he just drove to the gate, he noticed two familiar figures standing near the base of the wall by the security room.

’Isn’t this the old man who claimed to be his martial uncle just now?’

Qin Feng was taken aback, not expecting them to still be there.

Initially, he wanted to drive away directly but reconsidered and adjusted his direction to park in the temporary parking lot at the hospital entrance.

Then he took out his phone and found Director Zhou Xianren’s number.

Jiangcheng City First Hospital,

In the emergency department office.

Zhou Xianren had just finished a surgery, vigorously shaking his sore arms, picking up a teacup to take a sip.

“Ah, I’m really getting old. Standing for so long, my arms and legs can’t take it.”

Ring ring ring~

At that moment, the phone rang.

“Who could it be?”

He looked at the teacup in his hand, then at the phone on the table, with a slight frown.

But he still put down the teacup and picked up the phone.

“Qin Feng?!”

Seeing the caller ID, he couldn’t help but exclaim.

Swish~

As soon as he spoke, everyone in the office stood up straight, especially Chen Yuanfang, who rushed forward.

“Quick, answer it!”

Pop~

Before Zhou Xianren could react, Chen Yuanfang urged him and pressed the answer button.

“Hello, Xiaoxin!”

(⊙o⊙)…

Qin Feng was just about to call for Director Zhou but was caught off guard by hearing his mother-in-law’s voice on the phone.

“Aunt Chen, why are you answering the phone?”

“No worries, no worries, Old Zhou is right next to me, hehehe~”

“And me, and me, Xiao Jing.”

“It’s Xiaohui here, Qin Feng, have you forgotten all about us?”

…

All of a sudden, several familiar voices appeared on the phone, some with surprise, some teasing, bringing up that warm familiar feeling to the heart.

They were all comrades in arms from the past, fighting side by side, saving lives and healing the wounded!

“Alright, alright, stop messing around.”

Chen Yuanfang interrupted them with a hint of annoyance, “Xiaoxin is calling Old Zhou, there must be something going on. Old Zhou, you take it.”

With that, she handed the phone back to Zhou Xianren.

Good heavens!

“Well, Qin Feng, what can I help you with this time? Go ahead and say it.”

“Hehehe~ Director Zhou, I really need your help this time.”

Qin Feng said somewhat embarrassedly,

“Do you remember the time in Jiangcheng when I saved Chen Hanzhong, Elder Chen?”

“I remember, both of the elderly couple liked you quite a bit.”

Zhou Xianren immediately recalled and laughed.

“Yes, but last time I left in a hurry and didn’t get Elder Chen’s wife’s phone number. I have something to ask her, so could you help me look up Elder Chen’s medical history and send me the number?”

“It’s a small thing! I wondered what it was, no problem at all.”

Upon hearing Qin Feng’s request, he agreed without a second thought,

“Moreover, you were Elder Chen’s attending physician at that time, so it’s not a breach of patient privacy. I’ll call Old Qi now to find it and send it to you.”

“Great, thank you Director Zhou.”

Hearing this, Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief and said happily.

After chatting for a few more moments, they hung up, and a few minutes later, the phone number arrived.

He dialed directly, and after a few rings, it was connected.

“Hello, who is this?”

An elderly woman’s voice came from the phone.

“Hello, Grandma Liu, this is Qin Feng.”

“Oh, it’s Dr. Qin!”

Upon hearing Qin Feng’s name, the old lady seemed delighted, “What can I do for you, Dr. Qin?”

“Grandma Liu, sorry to bother you.”

Qin Feng said politely with a smile,

“Here’s the thing, there’s something I want to ask you.”

“Go ahead, go ahead, hehe~”

The old lady seemed very happy, and her voice was a bit more cheerful.

“Here’s the situation, today an elder named Chen Zhizhong came to me, claiming to be a descendant of the Chen Clan.

However, I’m not sure about his identity, so I’m asking you, what’s going on?”

“Chen Zhizhong~”

As soon as the words fell, the old woman became low-spirited, as if recalling something.

After a brief silence, she chuckled softly and continued,

“Since he’s found you, I should tell you. Actually, it’s Old Chen’s fault for not explaining clearly.

This Chen Zhizhong is Old Chen’s junior, but they haven’t seen each other in over twenty years. This matter is actually a family affair of our Chen Clan.

When Old Chen handed you the Chen Clan’s medical classics, it was because he didn’t want the Chen family’s profound traditional Chinese medical techniques to be lost.

Unexpectedly, even when you left for Beijing, you still encountered this little guy, hehe~”

Hearing the elderly lady’s address, Qin Feng’s eyebrows raised slightly.

It’s amusing for an over-eighty-year-old woman to call a sixty-something-year-old man a “little guy”.

“Fifty years ago, our Old Chen was also in Beijing, and this Chen Zhizhong was his cousin. They followed their great-grandfather to learn traditional Chinese medicine, including the family’s obstetrics and orthopedics.

However, everything changed due to a treatment thirty years ago. At that time, Chen Zhizhong was just over thirty, while Old Chen had just grasped the separation technique, inheriting the true knowledge of the Chen family and becoming a descendant of the Chen Clan.

…”

After chatting for about ten minutes, Qin Feng and the old lady hung up the phone, exhaling deeply.

“Phew~”

He was still somewhat surprised, shocked by both the entangled lineage and the identity of Chen Zhizhong.

It turned out he was a renowned expert in the field of gynecology in the Jiuzhou Country’s traditional Chinese medicine community, more colloquially known as,

a national physician!

Moreover, since the Ming Dynasty, the Chen family had served as imperial physicians, continuing this legacy even during the Qin Dynasty in the national medical hall for the royal family.

The reason “Chen Clan Orthopedics” ranks among the top three in numerous traditional Chinese orthopedic heritages is precisely due to the intricacy and profundity of the separation technique.

Twenty years ago, Chen Hanzhong and Chen Zhizhong had a conflict, resulting in Chen Hanzhong’s failure in a treatment, leading to the unfortunate passing of a child.

To preserve the Chen Clan’s reputation as national physicians, Chen Hanzhong decided to leave Beijing, allowing Chen Zhizhong to assume the successor’s role.

But before leaving, he took a copy of the Chen family’s obstetrics medical classics and the orthopedic book that symbolized succession, “Chen Clan Orthopedics.”

Sadly, over those twenty years, he couldn’t find anyone to carry on the separation technique, delaying until health issues arose.

The emergence of Qin Feng brought great joy to Chen Hanzhong, especially after witnessing an acupuncture technique of flawless precision, which utterly astonished him.

From that moment, he determined that Qin Feng should continue passing on the Chen Clan’s medical classics, even if he couldn’t master them; they could be given to someone else or await someone from Beijing.

Yet, even Chen Hanzhong didn’t anticipate that Qin Feng would directly master all of the Chen family’s medical classics and skills.

In other words, Qin Feng is possibly the only one in the Chen Clan now to have mastered the separation technique!

Of course, his status has changed, too.

If he truly recognizes Chen Zhizhong, then Qin Feng could be considered the true successor of the Chen Clan.

Even Chen Zhizhong would have to concede a bit!

The most critical point is, Grandma Liu said, Old Chen didn’t take him as a disciple; it was more of a reliance, so he couldn’t be considered his apprentice, only an equal.

Meaning, he and Chen Zhizhong should be regarded as fellow disciples!

A national physician~

This marked Qin Feng’s first real contact with the pinnacle of Jiuzhou’s traditional Chinese medicine—the genuine national physician!

Furthermore, the status of Chen Zhizhong is quite high; being a prominent figure in the field of gynecology is extraordinarily rare in the entire realm of traditional Chinese medicine.

Thinking of this, Qin Feng showed a slight smile and murmured softly,

“In that case, let’s meet.”
