Brother Zhao Qi led Huang Xiaolong and Su Xiaoman to a square inside the hospital.
At this time, many seats had been set up in the square.
Seated in the front, were the president of the First People’s Hospital, various leaders, experts, Old Master Shi, Professor Zhu, and others.
Bai Hai was sitting next to the president, his face smug.
There were also some seats around the square and a large crowd of onlookers gathered, some patients even left their wards specifically to join in.
“Hey, president, that little bumpkin is here, look!” Bai Hai recognized Huang Xiaolong at first glance, a sinister look flashed in his eyes. “Mr. President, look at him. Does he look like a well-known doctor to you!”
The president carefully examined Huang Xiaolong. “He definitely lacks an impressive appearance, and he’s too young. Bai Hai, you don’t think something unexpected will happen today, do you?”
“No need to worry, Mr. President. The 10 female volunteers participating in this competition have been carefully selected. There are those who are overweight, those who are less than a month pregnant, and those whose pulses are naturally irregular. They’ve all eaten this morning, which makes it even harder to take their pulses accurately. If the bumpkin manages to guess all that correctly, I would call it a freak incident. Mr. President, we can use this opportunity to promote our hospital, and I’m sure our performance will surpass that of the Fourth People’s Hospital!”
“Good, good, Bai Hai, you’ve handled this well. I’ll be sure to reward you.” The president said, laughing.
Soon, hospital staff escorted Huang Xiaolong and Su Xiaoman to their designated seats in the square.
“Doctor Huang Xiaolong, give it your all! Stand up to these bastards!” Brother Zhao Qi nodded at Huang Xiaolong, then returned to his own seat near the president and the other experts.
In front of Huang Xiaolong’s seat, not far away, were 10 low tables and 10 chairs.
At this moment, 10 women dressed in casual attire, each wearing a number, nervously yet curiously entered the square and sat behind the 10 low tables in front of Huang Xiaolong, in numerical order.
“OK, all 10 of our volunteers are now present!” said a beautiful girl in a nurse’s uniform, talking into a loudspeaker.
Huang Xiaolong swept his eyes over the 10 volunteers, then turned his head to Su Xiaoman. “Sister Xiaoman, can you tell which of these women are pregnant and which aren’t?”
“Huh? Little Long, 1…1 can’t tell… their bellies are all flat, I can’t discern anything…” Su Xiaoman furrowed her brow. “Little Long, can you tell?”
Su Xiaoman understood what was happening with today’s pulse reading pregnancy test. To tell the truth, although she believed in Huang Xiaolong, she was sweating bullets for this challenge.
The difficulty was high!
“Hehe, Sister Xiaoman, actually, I’ve already figured out who’s pregnant and who’s not.” Huang Xiaolong said with a relaxed smile. “Why do they need to make such a big deal about this? By the way, Sister Xiaoman, if I win this time, I’ll earn a million! I’ve never made that much money before! Making money isn’t really that hard, right?”
On the edge of the square.
Chief Xu and Lin Jing had also come to enjoy the show.
“Captain Lin, this is quite lively, look, there are TV announcers, newspaper reporters, and notaries…” Chief Xu’s face was full of smiles.
“Hmm.” Lin Jing’s face was slightly pale, and she shook her head. “I don’t like crowds. Let’s go back to the ward.”
“Ok, Captain Lin.” Chief Xu nodded quickly.
Just then!
“Uh…” Chief Xu’s gaze suddenly froze!
“Old Xu, what’s wrong?” Lin Jing asked, startled.
“Little Long! Captain Lin, look, your Little Long!” Chief Xu gestured excitedly!
Upon hearing this, Lin Jing’s body shook and she hurriedly looked over!
When she saw Huang Xiaolong, dressed as a farmer and with a youthful face, an indescribable emotion surged through her!
It was him!
It was him!
It was really him!
There was a time when Lin Jing thought she would never find the young farmer who saved her on the train in the vast sea of people.
She’d watched the video of Huang Xiaolong performing surgery on her countless times. Even though she hadn’t personally met him, his image was etched deep into her mind and heart, never to be erased!
And today, after a long search, there he was, under the dim lamplight!
This man had given Lin Jing a second chance at life!
Lin Jing took a deep breath, greedily absorbing the air around her, and a stunning smile spread across her face, ‘Hehe, I’ve finally found you, Huang Xiaolong. If it wasn’t for you, how could I be here now, breathing in this vibrant air?’
From the moment she saw Huang Xiaolong, Lin Jing’s gaze did not leave him not even for a second.
Unwittingly, her eyes welled up with tears.
“Captain Lin, let’s go over and meet Little Long.” Urged Chief Xu.
“No…no rush…he seems to have something to do. Let’s wait a while.” Lin Jing composed herself.
“…Over on the left side of the square are our impartial judges and legal professionals. Also scattered around the square are media reporters from
Binhai…Ok, our pulse-reading pregnancy test competition is about to begin! ” The nurse babbled for quite a while before finally wrapping up. She then turned to Huang Xiaolong. “Um… Doctor Huang Xiaolong, are you ready?”
“I’ve been ready.” Huang Xiaolong said impatiently. “You’ve been talking for half a day before getting to the point, and I’m getting impatient.”
“OK, Doctor Huang Xiaolong, on the square, there’s a large LED screen displaying the headshots and numbers of our 10 female volunteers. For those you’ve diagnosed as pregnant, ‘O’ will be displayed on the big screen. For those you’ve diagnosed as not pregnant, ‘X’ will be displayed on the big screen. Do you understand?” The nurse explained patiently to Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Xiaolong looked up at the LED screen on the square, which indeed showcased each volunteer’s number and headshot.
“I understand, the rules are very simple. Can we officially start now?” Huang Xiaolong said with a chuckle.
“Well, since Doctor Huang Xiaolong, you have no doubts, we can now start. Please, Doctor Huang Xiaolong, go and take the pulse of volunteer number one.” The nurse made a welcoming gesture.
Unexpectedly-
“There’s no need to take their pulse, I can tell just by looking.” Huang Xiaolong sat in his chair, crossed his legs casually and showed no sign of standing up.
He could tell by just looking whether a woman was pregnant?
Suddenly, the noise from the crowd quieted down!
