Chapter 417: Revised: Chapter 417 – Extortion
“When people get older, they easily beco calcium deficient, their bones get brittle and it’s easy to break them. Why don’t you have surgery?” Zhang Dadan said.
Sunx Jian Country, standing nearby, explained: “My father has other health problems too!”
“We’re afraid sothing might go wrong during surgery, so we wanted to see if you have so conservative treatnt thods.”
So that’s how it is! Zhang Dadan frowned in thought and said: “His fracture is quite serious. If he can have surgery, he should recover faster.”
Sunx Jingong coughed and laughed: “I also said surgery was better, but they are worried, afraid sothing else might go wrong.”
Sunx Yan pursed her lips and bluntly exposed: “Grandpa, it’s clearly you who are afraid and then you say my dad won’t let you have surgery!”
Leaning against the bed, Sunx Jingong blushed imdiately upon his granddaughter exposing his lie, and angrily said: “You! Don’t you know how to protect Grandpa’s face?”
Sunx Yan stuck out her tongue at him, but then stared at Zhang Dadan, scolding: “Zhang Dadan, do you have a way or not? If you do, then don’t hold back!”
Hearing Sunx Yan urging him, Zhang Dadan couldn’t help but feel a bit puzzled. Weren’t you the one who wanted to chase away earlier? Now you’re asking for help?
Seeing Zhang Dadan’s displeased look, Sunx Jian Country quickly interjected: “Divine Doctor Zhang, my daughter is still young and speaks bluntly; please don’t mind her!”
After speaking, he turned around and began to reprimand Sunx Yan, while Sunx Jingong, leaning against the bed, occasionally defended her.
Zhang Dadan, caught in the middle of this family, felt extrely complicated. What kind of people are these Sunx Family? Why do they seem so fickle?
After a long silence, Sunx Liancheng suddenly said: “Yanyan, stop causing trouble. It’s important to have Divine Doctor Zhang treat Grandpa!”
Sitting by the bed, Zhang Dadan saw the family regain their composure and then said to Sunx Jingong: “Conservative treatnt is possible, but it requires so precious herbs!”
“Of course, with your family’s background, you wouldn’t hesitate to spend that money, but for treating fractures, I will have to charge extra!”
The Sunx Family had been prepared for this, but hearing Zhang Dadan say it himself still made them roll their eyes. Damn, he’s really greedy!
“Divine Doctor Zhang, money is not an issue, just na your price!” Sunx Jian Country, standing to the side, asked calmly, as if asking the price of a cabbage per catty.
“Alright, let’s pick an auspicious number, six hundred sixty thousand!” Zhang Dadan thought for a mont and said.
Nearby, Sunx Liancheng, upon hearing the quote from Zhang Dadan, could no longer remain calm. Are you kidding? Six hundred sixty thousand!
Treating a fracture costing over six hundred thousand; if outsiders heard this, they’d think the Sunx Family mbers were fools!
A small fracture surgery at a top-tier hospital costs a few tens of thousands at most. Even with post-op nutrition costs, it would only be over a hundred thousand.
But Zhang Dadan asked for a sky-high price of six hundred sixty thousand, which naturally left everyone stunned and hard to accept.
Even Sunx Jingong himself frowned displeasedly. Zhang Dadan really thinks I’m a gullible fool?
“Zhang Dadan, fractures are common accidents. Many hospitals can treat them well; it’s not that we absolutely need you!” Sunx Jingong shouted.
Sunx Jian Country, standing by, saw his father getting furious and quickly tried to soothe him: “Father, six hundred sixty thousand is six hundred sixty thousand! We can afford that!”
Zhang Dadan glanced at Sunx Jian Country and laughed at Sunx Jingong: “Exactly! Your family isn’t short on money; why be so stingy?”
“Besides, you’re afraid of surgery, right? My treatnt thod avoids surgical risks. Charging over six hundred thousand isn’t too much, right?”
Though Sunx Jingong was used to being frugal, he had always been willing to spend on his health. It wasn’t about being stingy with the six hundred sixty thousand but not wanting to be taken for a fool.
“Zhang Dadan, how much did you charge Old Man Muu for treatnt?” Sunx Jingong glared at Zhang Dadan and asked persistently.
For treating Elder Muu, though Zhang Dadan didn’t ask for paynt on the spot, he later had Bai Lexin transfer sixty thousand to him.
Elder Muu’s sixty thousand was insignificant compared to the amount he was asking from Sunx Jingong.
If he told the truth, Sunx Jingong would likely get really upset. Hesitating, Zhang Dadan laughed and said: “Sa seven figures, but I can’t reveal the exact amount to you!”
Hearing this, Sunx Jingong felt secretly pleased but pretended to look helpless, swearing: “You bastard, you’re truly a bloodsucker!”
“So do you still want my help or not? It’s getting late, and I haven’t eaten yet!” Zhang Dadan teased.
Sunx Jingong sighed and muttered: “Damn, spending so much at this age, it’s really not worth it… not worth it!”
Sunx Jian Country, standing by the bed, saw his father was reluctant to spend the money and felt puzzled. His father had always known his priorities despite being frugal.
Spending just over six hundred thousand to fully recover—how could he be unwilling? Why was he sighing like this?
Zhang Dadan, seeing Sunx Jingong’s hesitation and constant complaints, was about to ask more when he heard him say: “Divine Doctor Zhang, why are you still standing there? Let’s start the treatnt!”
What? Are you kidding? You’ve been wasting ti all along, and now it’s my fault?
Zhang Dadan couldn’t help frowning and said discontentedly: “So you agree to my fee? If yes, I’ll start the bone setting now!”
“Agreed… agreed! Hurry up; you said you haven’t eaten yet!” Sunx Jingong urged.
His sudden change in attitude left Zhang Dadan speechless. It seems important people are indeed difficult to deal with.
However, since they agreed to the fee, there’s no reason to refuse the money, plus he was indeed a bit hungry.
Zhang Dadan lifted his pants leg, concentrated his Spiritual Power, and then pressed on the fracture site, slowly inserting the Spiritual Power.
Lying on the bed, Sunx Jingong saw him tear open his pants leg and was confused, but before he could voice his confusion, he felt a warm current seeping into his skin.
The warm current moved through his skin, into his bloodstream, and instantly, the pain from the fracture magically disappeared.
The warm current then reached the broken shinbone again, causing excruciating pain, making him grit his teeth.
“Ah—” Enduring as he was, Sunx Jingong couldn’t withstand the intense pain, his body trembling as he scread out.
Seeing his father in such agony, Sunx Jian Country hesitated whether to stop Zhang Dadan, but then saw him pull back his hands.
In just a few minutes, Sunx Jingong was drenched in sweat, his face covered in sweat.
“Hey? My calf doesn’t hurt anymore…” Feeling slightly exhausted, Sunx Jingong noticed the fracture pain was gone and couldn’t help but laugh.
Sunx Jian Country quickly asked, anxiously and bewildered: “Divine Doctor Zhang, is my father’s fracture healed?”
Zhang Dadan caught his breath and smiled: “It’s pretty much healed! But he still needs to stay in bed for ten days. I’ll prescribe so dicine; take it three tis a day for ten days, and he’ll be back on his feet!”
Standing nearby, Sunx Liancheng and his siblings, hearing Zhang Dadan boast, hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern: “Grandpa, how do you feel? Is it better?”
