Grimes had been listening to her boyfriend talk on the phone. After Elon Musk hung up, she quickly asked, "Elon, have you found a better medical expert?"
Elon Musk let out a long sigh and said with a complicated expression, "I don't know..."
"What?" Grimes was confused. She looked at Elon Musk with her eyes wide open. "You don't know?"
Elon Musk made a gesture to calm her down and said, "Darling, wait for me for a moment!"
Then he turned his head and waved at the butler standing in the distance. After calling the butler over, he ordered the butler to immediately send a car to the Beverly Hills Hotel and gave him Li Yifu's contact information.
Finally, Elon Musk exhorted, "You must maintain enough respect for Li Yifu! He's a senior in the business world. "
"Understood! Sir, I'll personally bring a car to pick up Mr. Li! "The butler said respectfully.
Elon Musk nodded and waved his hand tiredly. "Go and come back quickly!"
The butler went to the hotel to pick up Li Yifu, while Elon Musk looked at Grimes and asked, "Darling, do you know Chinese medicine?"
Grimes hesitated. "Chinese medicine in Huaxia?"
"Uh-huh!" Elon Musk nodded.
Grimes shrugged and said, "I've heard a little about it. There are a few stars in Hollywood who prefer Chinese medicine in Chinatown, but they mainly do physical therapy, massage, and so on. I heard that Chinese medicine also uses grass roots and tree bark to treat people. The mysterious Easterners probably still don't strictly distinguish the difference between witchcraft and medicine..."
Elon Musk frowned and said, "Mr. Li Yifu recommended a Chinese medicine doctor to me..."
"Oh! God... "Grimes covered her mouth and said after a while," Darling, don't tell me you want to give Little X that black witchcraft medicine! I can't imagine it... "
Elon Musk pressed down on Grimes's shoulders, looked into her eyes and said, "My dear, you need to calm down first! Li Yifu is a well-known super-rich man in America. He shouldn't be so ridiculous as to use a swindler who doesn't know anything about medicine to fool us! "
"Perhaps he had something to ask of you, and saw that you were desperate," said Grimes. "Perhaps he was deceived himself? In short, Little X is still so young. We can't risk his health! "
Elon Musk shook his head and said, "If it was an ordinary disease, I definitely wouldn't do this. But you've heard Dr. Manuel's analysis. Rhabdomyosarcoma is highly malignant, and Little X's rhabdomyosarcoma is especially dangerous. Even with the best medical resources in the world, the survival rate is only about one-third! If they were to use Dr. Manuel's plan, the risk would also be very high! The Chinese medicine that Li Yifu introduced doesn't require surgery or chemotherapy. Even if there's a certain risk, I think it's worth it even if it's a small probability. "
Elon Musk was a businessman, so he naturally used the risk-benefit ratio to evaluate the feasibility of this matter. In comparison, he was much calmer than Grimes.
After hearing this, Grimes pondered for a long time before finally nodding and saying, "Alright then! But I have to be by Little X's side during the treatment! "
"Of course, I will accompany him throughout the whole process," said Elon Musk.
In fact, he didn't have much hope for this.
...
At the Beverly Hills Hotel, after Xia Ruofei and the others discussed it, they decided that Xia Ruofei and Li Yifu would go to Elon Musk's manor, while the others would rest in the hotel first.
After all, they were going to treat someone, not be guests. It was not appropriate for five or six people to go at once.
Soon, Elon Musk's butler contacted Li Yifu. The car he brought had already arrived at the hotel.
So, everyone got up and left the room. Song Wei and Ling Qingxue stayed in the room to rest, while Chen Xuan and Yu Xiner returned to their own rooms.
Xia Ruofei took out an exquisite medical box from the Ring-Tu space. It contained a set of silver needles used by Chinese medicine, as well as some Chinese medicine equipment, including cupping.
He carried the medical box in his hand and went downstairs with Li Yifu. Soon, they saw Elon Musk's butler.
The butler respectfully welcomed the two of them into a Bentley, then sat in the passenger seat and directed the driver to return to the manor.
Along the way, Xia Ruofei was calm and relaxed. When the car was about to reach the destination, he opened his eyes and looked out the window.
Elon Musk's mansion was located in Bel Air, Los Angeles. Like most super mansions, the privacy of this small manor was very good. The surrounding trees were verdant and lush, and the entire house was surrounded by a golf course and forest, forming a corner of its own.
However, Xia Ruofei looked carefully at the house that was faintly visible in the distance. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised — it wasn't as magnificent as he had imagined, nor did it have a sense of technology that matched Elon Musk's status. On the contrary, it looked very simple and even a little old.
Xia Ruofei smiled and asked, "How much did this house cost?"
Li Yifu said, "He should have spent more than 20 million dollars on this house!"
"Wow! It's really not cheap! "Xia Ruofei said," Is the house price in the United States so expensive? "
Li Yifu said with a smile, "Uncle Master, a mansion is different from an ordinary house. There is no reference price. It mainly depends on the environment and so on."
The driver and the butler didn't understand Chinese, so Li Yifu didn't need to worry too much.
Li Yifu then said, "I've checked some information. Musk's house is focused on environmental protection. You can see that he installed a lot of solar panels. Musk has always been committed to promoting the development of clean energy, such as alternative energy vehicles. Solar energy is also a key part of his industry."
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Well! This guy is a little interesting … "
While they were talking, the car had already entered the interior of the mansion through an arch similar to a Spanish castle.
Musk, who had been notified in advance by the butler, had already come out to wait. Beside him was his girlfriend, Grimes.
The Bentley slowly stopped. The butler quickly got out of the car and opened the door on Xia Ruofei's side, while the driver opened the door on Li Yifu's side. The two of them stepped out of the car.
Elon Musk took a few steps forward. He saw Xia Ruofei get out of the car on the other side and couldn't help but be slightly stunned. He even looked into the car somewhat unwillingly, hoping to see someone who hadn't gotten out of the car.
Although in the United States, there was no such thing as "the older the doctor, the more popular they were," Xia Ruofei's image was too young. The learning cycle of medicine was relatively long. Generally, medical students at Xia Ruofei's age might still be studying for a master's degree or a doctor's degree! He didn't even have much practical experience. How could he be an expert who could cure a serious brain tumor?
Elon Musk suddenly felt like he was being played by Li Yifu.
Li Yifu went around the front of the car and met up with Xia Ruofei. Then, the two of them walked towards Elon Musk together.
"Mr. Li!" There was a trace of displeasure on Elon Musk's face. He frowned slightly and asked, "Is the Chinese medicine expert you mentioned on the phone here?"
Li Yifu looked at Xia Ruofei next to him and said with a smile, "Mr. Musk, let me introduce you. This is Dr. Xia from Huaxia. Dr. Xia has cured many cases of serious malignant tumors... "
Elon Musk didn't believe it at all. If the young man in front of him was really so powerful, all kinds of reports would have been overwhelming. If he could even cure a terminal brain cancer, this kind of achievement would have won him a Nobel Prize. There was no suspense at all.
In other words, if Xia Ruofei was really so awesome, he couldn't be unknown.
Elon Musk confirmed that he had never seen Xia Ruofei in any reports. Previously, when the Qantas plane was forced to land in Saipan, Xia Ruofei, as a passenger who had never flown a plane, successfully landed the plane and saved hundreds of people. Such a heroic deed was very popular with the Western media. At that time, there were a lot of reports on the global media. However, there was one thing … Xia Ruofei was now using the image of Xia. Even if Elon Musk had an impression of the news of the Qantas landing, he would never associate the changed Xia Ruofei with the legendary hero at that time.
Elon Musk's eyes showed a trace of ridicule, but he still politely asked, "Dr. Xia, which medical university did you graduate from? Which hospital are you currently working in? "
Xia Ruofei said with a faint smile on his face, "I didn't graduate from a medical university. In fact, I didn't go to university. In addition, although I have a medical qualification certificate from Huaxia, I don't work in any hospital. "
"Mr. Xia opened his own private clinic?" Elon Musk asked.
In the United States, private clinics and private hospitals were also very common, and the level and conditions of these private medical institutions were often better. Of course, the cost of seeing a doctor in a private medical institution was also a lot higher. The average wage earner would obediently go to a public hospital to see a doctor.
Xia Ruofei shook his head and said, "I didn't open a clinic, nor was I hired to be someone's private doctor …"
Elon Musk raised his eyebrows, then spread his hands towards Li Yifu and said, "Mr. Li, this Dr. Xia doesn't seem to be the medical expert you mentioned …"
"Mr. Musk!" Xia Ruofei said directly, "Chinese medicine pays more attention to inheritance. Many famous Chinese medicine doctors are passed down from master to disciple. In our country, the inheritance of master and disciple is also recognized, so not all practicing Chinese medicine doctors graduated from a Chinese medicine university."
Xia Ruofei paused, then quickly continued, "In addition … I didn't work in a hospital, nor did I engage in medical-related work, because I didn't want to treat this as my profession. This time, it has nothing to do with the level of my medical skills. For example … "
Xia Ruofei glanced at Elon Musk and Grimes. In fact, he had already used his spiritual power to check on them. At the same time, he also used the "look" in Chinese medicine to observe the situation of the two of them.
After pausing for two seconds, Xia Ruofei smiled and continued, "For example … Even if I'm not a professional doctor, I can still see at a glance that Mr. Musk hasn't been sleeping well recently, and he has a serious tinnitus. In addition, if I'm not wrong, Ms. Grimes' right arm was once fractured, and because it didn't recover completely back then, it often hurts, especially when the climate changes … "
Elon Musk and Grimes were both stunned when they heard this.
If Elon Musk's health and medical records could be investigated through some other means, then Grimes wasn't a particularly famous star. Many years ago, when her arm was fractured, she wasn't Elon Musk's girlfriend at all. She had just entered the entertainment industry, and no one knew her at all. How could things be investigated at that time?
What's more, Elon Musk's sleep and tinnitus problems only appeared recently. Because he was busy with work recently, and then there was the matter of Little X's rhabdomyosarcoma, he didn't seek medical treatment at all. He only consulted Dr. Manuel briefly, so it was impossible for him to leave medical records.
Unless this young Doctor Xia in front of them bribed Dr. Manuel.
Let's not talk about the probability of this happening. Just based on this matter alone, bribing Dr. Manuel didn't have any meaning at all. In the end, it still depended on medical skills. The patient was there, and Little X's illness wouldn't get better just because Elon Musk and Grimes were fooled.
Elon Musk turned his gaze to Grimes.
Grimes had a look of disbelief on her face. She nodded gently and said, "When I was 18 years old, I fell off the stage during rehearsals, and my right arm was fractured … Over the years, when there was wind and rain, my arm would indeed ache faintly. What he said was very accurate … "
"This is really surprising!" Elon Musk said, "Doctor Xia, how did you do it to be able to see so much and such accurate information just by looking at it with the naked eye?"
Xia Ruofei said faintly, "Chinese medicine is particular about looking, listening, asking, and feeling the pulse. Looking is just one of the skills. A skilled Chinese doctor can indeed get a rough judgment just by looking at the patient's complexion without having to come into contact with the patient. Of course, if you need a more accurate diagnosis, you also need to take the pulse, ask about the medical history, and so on. Sometimes you also need to rely on some Western examination methods, such as CT, Color Doppler, and so on … "
"I understand …" Elon Musk nodded as if he didn't fully understand.
In fact, he was a little confused when he heard about looking, listening, asking, and feeling the pulse. However, he had personally experienced Xia Ruofei's skill just now. Therefore, even if he didn't understand what Xia Ruofei said, he still felt that it was quite amazing.
He didn't understand, but he felt that it was amazing!
The look on Elon Musk's face immediately became a lot more enthusiastic. He made an inviting gesture and said, "Mr. Li, Doctor Xia, let's go in and sit down before we talk! Please come in! "
