Chapter 2293

The terms were simple: she had to go to the capital and prove her innocence in front of her. If she could cure the patient before her eyes, and if no innocent people within a hundred miles fell ill, she would apologize to her publicly. To ensure fairness, the entire treatment would be broadcast live via satellite to the world.

Hearing Zhu Yanyi’s explanation, everyone who had been doubtful now supported her.

First, Zhu Yanyi was already recognized as a divine doctor, and most people trusted her character. Second, the evidence she provided was thorough. Most importantly, she had published these doubts under her real name. If she had wanted to frame the "Saint Hand," she wouldn’t have used her true identity; she could have easily used an anonymous account.

Because Zhu Yanyi acted so openly and honestly, everyone believed her. Naturally, they urged the Saint Hand to come to the capital.

The Saint Hand was secretly shocked. He didn’t understand why he felt this way. The reason he didn’t treat people blindly was that every time he saved someone, his own body grew weaker. Unless it was someone he couldn’t afford to offend, he wouldn’t intervene. That was why, since the incident began, he had only saved nine people.

Wait. She remembered the details of the ninth person she had recently saved. Zhu Yanyi hadn’t released that information. Was there something wrong with that ninth person?

The Saint Hand wanted to refute her online, claiming she had saved nine people. But for some reason, whenever she tried to post information about the ninth patient, it was blocked.

She never imagined that the Big Boss was behind this. Although her own granddaughter was the most innocent party, she had contracted this disease at age ten. Even if people believed her innocence, such a label would stain her life forever.

Therefore, the Big Boss would never allow any slight impropriety regarding his granddaughter. He had people monitoring the Saint Hand. Any mention of the ninth patient was immediately censored. No matter how hard the Saint Hand tried, he could not publish that information.

The Saint Hand wasn’t stupid. He realized that the ninth person was likely the problem. It wasn’t that he hadn’t cured them; it was that the ninth patient themselves had an issue.

She tried to find out who the patients in Zhu Yanyi’s care were, but it was impossible. Zhu Yanyi’s patient records were top secret. Unless she chose to reveal them, no one else could know.

At that moment, news spread that Zhu Yanyi had returned to the country. Consequently, more and more people came seeking her medical help.

Looking at the pile of consultation requests, Zhu Yanyi looked at Gu Jingtian with confusion. "Didn’t I tell you? For now, I only treat those harmed by the Saint Hand. Besides, I’ve reviewed these files. These people aren’t dying or in despair. Why do they need me? If you don’t have time to handle them, let other doctors do it. If it’s slightly difficult, let Senior Brother Qingyun handle it."

Gu Jingtian raised an eyebrow. "There’s no choice. These requests came from relevant authorities. They specifically want you to treat them."

"They don’t have terminal illnesses. Senior Brother Qingyun’s skills are more than enough," Zhu Yanyi said. She wasn’t refusing to treat people, but she had her own rules. She disliked being treated as a sacrifice for others’ rules or feeling controlled. After glancing at the files, she had no intention of accepting these cases.

Of course, if there were patients on the brink of death, she wouldn’t ignore them. But these people were simply bored and wealthy. They didn’t have serious illnesses, yet they insisted on seeing her. She didn’t have that much spare time to cater to them.

Moreover, Zhu Yanyi’s energy needed to focus on the nine people, including the little princess.

Among these nine patients, besides the little princess, the most innocent was a two-month-old baby. The baby had gone blind, bringing endless sorrow to the family. Now that they knew it was caused by someone, they hated the Saint Hand even more.

Treating eyes required extreme caution, especially for a two-month-old infant whose eye color hadn’t even fully developed. Going blind was a disaster.

Fortunately, after examination, Zhu Yanyi found that the blindness was caused by a tumor on the optic nerve. As long as she removed the tumor, there would be no other issues.

After reviewing the case, she recorded the condition and arranged for treatment.

While Zhu Yanyi was reviewing patient files at home, Yan Aohan came out with fruit. "We’ve been married for less than a month, and you’re busy again. I feel I need to complain."

Zhu Yanyi put down the files and looked at Yan Aohan with a helpless expression. "I originally planned to deal with the Saint Hand later. But she’s too strong and has clashed with the Big Boss, so I had to move up the timeline. What else could I do?"

Yan Aohan said, "I’m not complaining about you facing the Saint Hand early. I just wish you could spare some evening time for me."

Zhu Yanyi looked at the files, then at Yan Aohan, and smiled helplessly. "Okay, it’s my fault. From now on, when I’m at home and you’re here, I’ll save my evenings for you."

"Wife, you’re so good," Yan Aohan said happily.

Yan Aohan didn’t actually demand anything specific from Zhu Yanyi. But during their honeymoon period, seeing her so busy made him feel a bit sad.

Zhu Yanyi understood her feelings, so she was willing to consider her.

Marriage was a matter for two people, not for one side to sacrifice everything. So, Zhu Yanyi happily agreed to her request.

She truly kept her word. During this period, except for visiting patients during the day, she spent all her time at home with Yan Aohan. This was mainly because the Saint Hand hadn’t arrived yet, so she didn’t need to be overly busy.

At this moment, the Saint Hand, after seeing the online posts, knew he couldn’t avoid the situation. He had to return to the capital.

Of course, he could choose not to come. As long as he stopped practicing medicine, he wouldn’t be discovered. But if he wanted to continue practicing, he had to come to the capital to prove that his abilities didn’t harm people.

However, the Saint Hand knew the origin of his abilities. Therefore, it was impossible for him to appear without a substitute.
