Chapter 968 The Medical Classics Reveals Itself Part 2
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Early the next morning, Shen Hong and Old Song rushed to the Museum of Wonders in a hurry. Shen Hong asked urgently, “Where is the ancient book that Mr. Su put in last night? Where is it?”
“It’s in the East District, next to the mythical ancient corpse,” The security guard who had helped Su Jing the previous night replied. It was still early, and he hadn’t changed his shift yet.
Without saying a word, Shen Hong and Old Song hurried in. The security guard was a little puzzled, wondering why they were so concerned about just an ancient book.
He had seen statues of Atlantis, mythical ancient corpses, emerald cabbage, and other ancient artifacts. What was so special about an ancient book?
Shen Hong and Old Song rushed to the Eastern Han Medical classics and found that the book was opened to reveal two pages, with several methods for treating difficult and complicated anorexia, along with certificates of identification from Ye Bo and Zhou Xixian.
Old Song couldn’t contain his excitement and exclaimed, “My God, is this really the Medical Classics of the late Eastern Han Dynasty?”
“Lao Ye and Old Zhao’s identification should be correct. But how is this possible?” Shen Hong was equally thrilled.
“Let’s take a closer look,” They both said, still in disbelief. They carefully opened the glass cover and examined the book.
Outsiders were not allowed to touch it, but as the acting curator, Shen Hong had the authority to do so. He was an expert in identifying and maintaining collections, and Su Jing had entrusted him with the highest level of authority.
The more they examined the book, the more excited they became. They could find no flaws in the handwriting, paper quality, or any other aspect.
It appeared to be an authentic book from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Combined with the identification from Zhou Xixian and Ye Bo, it was highly unlikely that it could be a fake.
Old Song expressed his disbelief, “How could books from the late Eastern Han Dynasty be preserved so well?”
Shen Hong laughed as he spoke, “Even a 5,800-year-old mythical ancient corpse has been uncovered, what else is impossible? Mr. Su always seems to bring miracles. After today’s opening, our Museum of Wonders may become even more popular. I believe that more archaeological experts from around the world will come here.”
Shen Hong’s conjecture proved to be accurate as the news of the discovery of the Eastern Han Medical classics broke out immediately after the museum opened at eight or nine o’clock, causing a tremendous sensation.
This development naturally caught the attention of numerous archaeologists, who engaged in extensive discussions about it on the internet.
“This can’t be real, how could the books from the Eastern Han Dynasty be so well-preserved?”
“Exactly, I’ve never come across a book from that era in such a remarkable condition.”
“Moreover, I’ve heard that there were no effective treatments for leprosy back then. It’s impossible that they had methods to prevent and treat it. Even during the Qing Dynasty, leprosy was difficult to manage, let alone during the Eastern Han Dynasty.”
“However, experts such as Dr. Ye, Dr. Zhou, and Shen Hong have all examined and verified it, confirming that it belongs to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.”
“Furthermore, two separate archaeological teams have now also examined the book and arrived at the same conclusion.”
“It’s truly astounding.”
“This is like a combination of Atlantis, ancient mythical creatures, and the Eastern Han Medical classics. How on earth did Su Jing manage to come across all these unnatural things? This is truly unbelievable.”
In addition to the archaeologists, medical experts were also astounded by the discovery.
Many individuals flocked to the Museum of Wonders to view the book but were only permitted to examine two pages that were displayed, which contained information on methods to prevent and treat leprosy.
After reviewing these pages, many medical experts were skeptical of the book’s authenticity, unlike the archaeological experts who were more confident in their assessment.
The medical experts were more inclined to trust their medical knowledge and expertise rather than the opinions of the archaeologists.
The conflicting opinions between the archaeological and medical experts have created a state of opposition.
All of a sudden, the authenticity of the Eastern Han Dynasty Medical classics has become the most discussed topic of the moment, with many onlookers joining the debate.
Su Jing, the instigator, went to work on other things. He, along with Lu Qinming, Zheng Nan, and legal assistants, proceeded to Zhongyun Kangfeng Hospital to meet with the director and inspect the hospital’s operations.
Unlike regular individuals, Su Jing did not need to conduct an extensive investigation, as he could simply ask the director directly. He could easily determine if the director was lying or not, making the process very convenient.
During the inquiry, Su Jing discovered that the Director was eager to sell the hospital due to financial losses and the constant trouble caused by patients who had been defrauded by fake medicines.
These patients often resorted to extreme measures, such as letting dogs urinate in his car, puncturing his tires, and even blocking him at the hospital entrance.
As a result, the Director had become like a street mouse, hiding from these individuals to avoid further confrontation.
Given the financial troubles and personal harassment faced by the hospital’s Director, the price offered for the hospital was not particularly high.
Su Jing saw an opportunity to negotiate a more reasonable price and thus pressed a little further during the negotiations.
“Mr. Su, your price is too low. I would be at a loss if I were to sell the hospital at that price. I am not in the same financial position as you, Mr. Su. This amount of money may be insignificant to you, but it is a necessary living expense for me,” Director Zhao complained, his expression sour. “You have more money than I do, so why are you being so fussy about my situation?”
“I don’t think that’s an exaggeration. You’ve already earned enough money. The additional funds are not for me, but for the people who have been harmed by taking substandard drugs. As someone who has cheated patients, you should be compensating them,” Su Jing responded firmly.
“I have already compensated the affected individuals,” Director Zhao said, shrugging his shoulders.
“If there are still people causing a commotion, then your compensation clearly wasn’t sufficient. Do you plan on leaving behind this mess and walking away from it? Let me tell you, it’s not about the money. It’s about your unethical use of substandard medicines that harmed patients. If necessary, I will sue the hospital for bankruptcy and make sure you are left with nothing,” Su Jing said in a stern tone.
He didn’t hold back when it came to Director Zhao, as he was deeply disgusted by his actions.
“You…” Director Zhao stood up abruptly, panting heavily. But as he looked into Su Jing’s eyes and thought of Su Jing’s background, he quickly stifled his anger. He knew that what Su Jing said was not a bluff.
