Chapter 761 The Real Dr. Jiu Zhou
Taken aback, Shen Xi lifted her head and gazed at the man. “You’re Dr. Jiu Zhou?” Jesus. To think someone would impersonate her. Her indifference to fame and fortune as well as her absence from public events were no excuse to take advantage of her.
The man scoffed coldly. “Are you saying I’m not? Who are you?”
Shen Xi was without a word.
Fu Qingxuan stood up and took a protective stance in front of her. “My sister is Dr. Jiu Zhou. You must be sick in the head to impersonate her in her face.”
Who did he think he was? His little sister was Dr. Jiu Zhou. Every Tom, d.i.c.k, and Harry seemed to have the nerve to pose as her. “And who are you?” The man stood firm on his ground, refusing to stoop low and engage with them. “Since you two are young, I’m not going to argue with you. Take your little sister and leave before you embarra.s.s yourselves. I won’t hold her accountable for pretending to be me.”
There were sneers and jeers all around. The crowd laughed in mockery, having predicted that this was how things would play out.
There was no way Shen Xi was Dr. Jiu Zhou and such was the case. The young lady of the Fu family was shameless to impersonate Dr. Jiu Zhou. Had she no care for the Fu family’s reputation?
“You may not hold me accountable, but I’m not going to let things go.” Shen Xi was amused.
She had only provided medical care a handful of times, but word got out quickly. Still, some people had the nerve to pa.s.s off as her
nen
This person was c.o.c.ky enough to show his face and confront the real deal because he was convinced that no one had met Dr. Jiu Zhou nor could anyone testify for Shen Xi.
The man chuckled in disdain. “Young Lady, I am Jiu Zhou. Who are you blowing the whistle on?”
Raising her brows, Shen Xi nonchalantly asked, “If you claim to be Dr. Jiu Zhou, how can you prove it?”
The man was enraged by her att.i.tude. “I am Dr. Jiu Zhou. I don’t have to prove myself.”
The onlookers already had a problem with Shen Xi after losing the first round to her. There was no way they were going to pa.s.s up a chance to put her down.
“Ms. Shen, are you sure you still want to keep up with the façade now that the real Dr. Jiu Zhou’s here?”
“Yeah. Don’t embarra.s.s yourself. I’ve never seen someone with no shame. Some people just do as they please just because their family is loaded and has power.”
There were people who stood up and mocked aloud. The tables turned rather quickly, but it made them feel good. How was Shen Xi going to talk her way out of it now? It was a real eye-opener how she could leave her dignity out the door to partic.i.p.ate in the conference.
Judging by these people’s att.i.tudes, the middle-aged man was a.s.sured that Shen Xi was a fraud. Smiling to himself, he knew his plan would go on without a hitch.
All he had to do now was kick this phony and he would be home free.
“Since you say you’re Dr. Jiu Zhou and I say I’m Dr. Jiu Zhou, why don’t we prove it?” Shen Xi remained unfl.u.s.tered as she said with a smile.
“I’m Jiu Zhou. Why do I need to prove myself to you and go along with your charade?” With a change of emotions in his eyes, the man appeared furious.
Having caught wind that Dr. Jiu Zhou never attended any public events, the man came to try his luck here. The nerve of this kid to say she was Dr. Jiu Zhou instead.
The name “Dr. Jiu Zhou” was worth a lot of money. Should his plan to fill in for Dr. Jiu Zhou succeed, he would be swimming in cash in less than a few days.
After scamming the money, he planned to immigrate overseas and enjoy a luxurious life.
“Scared?” Shen Xi disinterestedly shrugged and put him up for a dare. “Where is the person in charge here?” Instead of answering Shen Xi, the man sternly questioned, “Someone’s causing a nuisance here. Isn’t anyone going to deal with this impostor?”
“Security!” One step ahead of the man, Fu Qingxuan yelled and angrily pointed at him. “Kick this poor excuse of a man out of here.”
The security personnel had heard the commotion. Since the conference had not started, confidentiality was not a concern yet. The security guards soon approached.
They were medical laymen so they did not recognize any of the attendees, much less Fu Qingxuan.
Apart from Fu Qingxuan who unwaveringly stood by Shen Xi’s side and believed she was Jiu Zhou, the rest believed Shen Xi was a fraud and the middle-aged man the real deal.
The security guards looked at Shen Xi. “Madam, please come with us.”
Shen Xi’s eyes grew cold. “What if I don’t?”
The security guards still had a job to do. “Don’t blame us for doing our work.”
They were about to get handsy with Shen Xi. Fu Qingxuan came in between and struck the security guards. Fuming with rage, he laid it hard on the guards, and soon they were knocked out.
One of them had his leg broken and was rolling and howling on the ground in pain. He cried for reinforcement through his radio.
Looking like a victor, the man gazed at Shen Xi with delight. “Why are you still here? Are you waiting to be locked up?”
“You should be the one behind bars.” Shen Xi let out a chilling smile. “It’s actually easy to prove who the real Dr. Jiu Zhou is. A lot of you must know that Dr. Jiu Zhou has come up with a miracle drug not too long ago.”
The people around exchanged glances. Sure, they had heard about it. However, there was no telling whether the news was authentic. It was hard to tell if such a miracle drug actually existed in the world. For all they knew, it could just be an exaggeration.
Two months ago, Dr. Jiu Zhou cured the head of the Su family. The head of the Su family was a paraplegic. In other words, Dr. Jiu Zhou had a cure for paraplegia!
The rumors were more than a spectacle, saying that it only took Dr. Jiu Zhou one pill to heal while there were talks that it was no easy job.
“You are doctors. Come and check on this person’s injury.” Shen Xi pointed at the security guard whose leg was broken by Fu Qingxuan.
It took her a year to manufacture the right medication for Li Yuan’s legs. Shen Xi later made improvements and increased the drug’s efficiency by tenfold. The head of the Su family was all better after trying one pill. The crowd was skeptical. If she had the miracle drug that could instantly cure the security guard’s broken leg, then there would be no question that she was Dr. Jiu Zhou.
Nevertheless, did such a medicine exist in the world?
If it were true, the drug was no less than a miracle pill. People would be flocking and begging her for the medicine.
At this point, the man finally panicked. With his eyes frantically scanning the room, he broke out in cold sweat as he deliberated the quickest escape route.
