Chapter 352: Busting Fraud
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Since Ji Yunmiao dared to impersonate the identity of a disciple of the divine physician, she naturally had some skills herself.
Her family used to be a prestigious family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, and she had been studying traditional Chinese medicine since childhood.
However, traditional Chinese medicine declined over time and was marginalized by Western medicine, causing her family to gradually decline as well.
By her generation, almost no one in the family was learning traditional Chinese medicine anymore. She once rebelled against her father, wanting to switch to Western medicine, but her father criticized her harshly and even punished her to reflect on her actions in the ancestral hall.
Later, she focused on studying traditional Chinese medicine and abandoned the idea of switching to Western medicine. However, after graduating, she had nowhere to go. While her classmates who studied Western medicine easily found internships at hospitals, she could only return home to help her father run a small herbal medicine shop.
She was not content with this fate!
By chance, she learned about the existence of the divine physician Hua and his esteemed position in the field of medicine. Even foreign nationals who didn’t believe in traditional Chinese medicine treated him like a deity and were willing to pay a great price for his medical consultations.
So, she started to admire the divine physician Hua and tried every means to find information about him, hoping to become his disciple.
Unfortunately, the plan to become his disciple fell through, and she was dispirited for a period of time.
Later, she heard that before the divine physician Hua withdrew from the public eye, he had accepted a personal disciple, and that disciple happened to be a woman.
This news ignited the desire of many to find the female disciple of the divine physician, but her identity remained a mystery, and no one had seen her for years.
Ji Yunmiao couldn’t help but wonder: if no one had seen the real female disciple and she pretended to be that disciple, what would happen?
This idea took root in her mind, and she eventually succumbed to the temptation of fame and wealth, deciding to impersonate the divine physician’s disciple.
Fortunately, she was able to successfully treat several cases under the guise of the divine physician’s disciple, accumulating substantial wealth and gradually gaining recognition.
From being initially cautious and anxious, she had now almost convinced herself that she was indeed the true disciple of the divine physician.
However, she had never imagined that on the first day of her return to China, her identity would be questioned.
“Miss, be mindful of what you say,” Ji Yunmiao asserted confidently. “I understand that you might be young and naive, and I won’t hold it against you. Please apologize to me, and we can forget about this.”
“Heh…” Nan Yan sneered. “You may choose not to confront me, but I want to confront you.”
“You have falsely used the identity of a disciple of Divine physician Hua, deceiving people and tarnishing the reputations of both Divine physician Hua and his true disciple.”
“If you can’t provide evidence today, don’t blame me for not being polite to you.”
Ji Yunmiao gritted her teeth inwardly.
What evidence did she have?
However, she did possess medical skills, and her medical expertise was excellent, surpassing even her father, who had been a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for his whole life.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have had the audacity to impersonate.
Ji Yunmiao squeezed her palms to calm herself down. The more critical the situation, the less she could afford to show any signs of guilt.
So, she assertively retorted, “And what makes you say I’m not a disciple of the divine physician? Do you have any evidence?”
“I don’t have any, but someone else does,” replied Nan Yan calmly.
Nan Yan looked at Ji Yunmiao’s unrepentant and guilty expression and sneered, “Since you dared to impersonate a disciple of Divine physician Hua, you must know that Divine physician Hua has more than one disciple.”
“Well, I happen to know one of his disciples. How about we bring him here to verify your authenticity?”
Ji Yunmiao coldly responded, “Who knows if you would intentionally bring someone who isn’t my master’s disciple to slander me?”
“But since you don’t believe in my identity, I won’t insist. I am who I am, and I’ll consider today’s trip wasted.”
With that, Ji Yunmiao turned to leave.
Fu Linfeng and Ling Yingchu finally reacted.
Ling Yingchu hurriedly caught up with her and said, “Miss Ji, don’t be angry. I have never doubted your identity. I witnessed you saving lives overseas with my own eyes. You are indeed a disciple of Divine physician Hua, and I believe in you!”
Fu Linfeng stayed in place and couldn’t help but ask Nan Yan, “Miss Nan, is she really fake?”
Nan Yan snorted coldly, “She dared to impersonate my identity. Did she really think she could fool me when she appeared right in front of me?”
Fu Linfeng:
What had he just heard?
Miss Nan was the real personal disciple of Divine physician Hua?
Although it was a bit shocking, Fu Linfeng actually thought that this made sense.
Only Divine physician Hua’s disciple would have the confidence to save his older brother and possess such extraordinary medical skills to pull him back from the brink of death.
Suddenly, he thought of another question.
He lowered his voice and leaned in close to Nan Yan, asking in a hushed tone,
“Miss Nan, what about my older brother…”
Nan Yan glanced at him, somewhat impressed with his quick understanding. “I call him my Third Senior Brother, so naturally, he is also my master’s disciple.”
“Damn…”
Fu Linfeng got too excited and couldn’t help but utter a profanity.
“Hey, wait a minute! If my older brother is Divine physician Hua’s disciple, then why did he let himself get so sick? Why didn’t he take care of himself?” he questioned.
“I haven’t seen him use any medical skills either!”
“My master isn’t just skilled in medicine,” Nan Yan replied, lowering her gaze and speaking softly. “My master is well-versed in various fields, not only medicine but he is also proficient in the art of war.”
“With just a bit of his knowledge, it’s enough to benefit an ordinary person for a lifetime.”
She truly felt like she had been unfilial for not visiting him for so long.
Once her Third Senior Brother’s health improved, she was determined to go back to Shennongjia and see him.
After digesting the shocking secret he had just learned and calming his emotions, Fu Linfeng couldn’t help but ask, “So, what do you plan to do with that imposter, Miss Nan?”
“She won’t escape,” Nan Yan assured him.
She took out her phone and sent a message to Shen Junqing, asking him to borrow a few people to track Ji Yunmiao. Shen Junqing quickly replied and asked for Ji Yunmiao’s information. Nan Yan provided him with a screenshot of Ji Yunmiao from the hospital’s surveillance footage.
Shen Junqing replied with a simple “OK” and went to arrange for people to track Ji Yunmiao.
“It’s settled. Someone is tracking her now,” Nan Yan said.
Feeling tired, Nan Yan let out a yawn and continued, “I’m going to take a nap. I’ll deal with her when I wake up.”
She looked at Fu Linfeng and instructed him, “You go take care of your older brother. Without my permission, no one is allowed to touch him.”
Fu Linfeng nodded vigorously and said with determination, “Don’t worry, Miss
Nan. I won’t even let Sister Chu near him!”
“Good. If you need anything, contact Elder Tao. Let him handle it.”
In her eyes, Tao Qingming was no longer a stranger. When trouble arose, it was best to let him handle it..
