The Beautiful CEO Only Loves Me - Chapter 6:

Chapter 6: The Trending Topic from the Previous Life

As it turned out, the severely ill patient from a year ago didn’t die because of Zhang Zizhen’s treatment, but because during his care under Zhang Zizhen, the patient took another medication prescribed by a different doctor. The combination of the two conflicting drugs caused the patient to die on the spot!

Due to Zhang Zizhen’s high status and the family’s desire to conceal the truth, they blackmailed him for millions and then buried the matter, downplaying everything. The blame for the death naturally fell on Zhang Zizhen’s shoulders.

Recalling this, Xu Tian sighed, “What a pity. Divine Doctor Zhang saved lives for decades, yet he was ruined by such petty people. He probably never found peace over that so-called ‘mistake’—not even in death.”

Creak—!

Just then, the door in front of Xu Tian was suddenly pulled open. Lin Xiao, the young disciple, looked at him coldly and announced, “My master retired a year ago. He no longer sees patients. Stop wasting your time coming here.”

With that, the door slammed shut.

Standing at the door, Xu Tian didn’t show the slightest anger. He understood well—unless the misunderstanding about the past was cleared up, Zhang Zizhen would never treat anyone again.

So instead of knocking again, Xu Tian raised his voice toward the door.

“Divine Doctor Zhang! I know why you retired a year ago and refused to treat patients since! That incident wasn’t your fault!”

“It was because that family sought treatment from two doctors and took both sets of prescribed medication. The drug interaction caused the patient’s death! You had absolutely nothing to do with it!”

Xu Tian’s firm voice traveled through the windows and echoed into the room.

In an instant—

The old man inside, who was working with herbs, trembled all over.

The medicinal ingredients in his hands dropped to the floor, and a layer of mist instantly covered his weary eyes.

It was as if he had just heard something utterly unbelievable. His entire body started to tremble violently.

Behind the counter, Lin Xiao, who was sorting herbs, froze. He quickly rushed to the door and flung it open.

“What did you just say?”

At the same time, a hoarse but calm voice came from the inner room of the clinic.

“Young man, did you just say the accident from a year ago wasn’t my fault?”

“Yes!” Xu Tian answered without hesitation.

Hearing Xu Tian’s resolute tone, Zhang Zizhen slowly took a deep breath, then solemnly said, “Whether it’s true or not, thank you for reminding me. I will investigate it.”

He had never thought that people could be so devious. He had always believed that it was his own misdiagnosis that led to death.

Now that he thought about it, it was worth checking.

“Divine Doctor Zhang, investigating this matter will take time. But you… you may not live past tomorrow morning!”

Tang Bingyan needed surgery within twenty-four hours. Xu Tian couldn’t afford to give Zhang Zizhen time to investigate. The only thing he could do now was use his ‘foresight’ to gain his trust.

“Are you cursing my master?”

Lin Xiao’s expression instantly darkened upon hearing Xu Tian’s words.

Inside the room, Zhang Zizhen’s face also turned grim.

Just a moment ago, he had begun to believe Xu Tian’s words. But now, hearing him say something so ridiculous as predicting his death tomorrow morning, he couldn’t help but shake his head bitterly in self-mockery.

As expected, he had gotten his hopes up for nothing. That death had been his fault all along. Why would he ever dream of being innocent?

He let out a sorrowful sigh and was about to tell Lin Xiao to send Xu Tian away.

But then Xu Tian’s voice rang out again—

“Divine Doctor Zhang! I’m not joking. If you don’t believe me, I swear—you absolutely will not live past tomorrow morning! And if I’m lying, then I myself won’t live past tomorrow!”

Each word was firm, forceful, and full of conviction.

But upon hearing this, Lin Xiao became furious.

He suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Xu Tian by the collar, eyes blazing. “What the hell are you babbling about? My master is in perfect health! I don’t care whether you die, but don’t you dare curse him!”

While yelling, he began dragging Xu Tian toward the gate.

Creak!

Just then, the door to the herb room opened, and an elderly man in his seventies appeared, interrupting Lin Xiao.

“Let him go. Let him speak.”

“Master!” Lin Xiao’s face softened when he saw the old man. But when he glanced back at Xu Tian, his expression remained filled with rage. “He cursed you just to get you to treat someone. Why are you still willing to listen to him? He’s just a manipulative scoundrel!”

Zhang Zizhen gave Lin Xiao a warning look and shook his head, signaling him to stop speaking.

Lin Xiao let out a sullen snort but dared not go against his master. He stepped back.

“I’ve long admired your reputation, Divine Doctor Zhang. My name is Xu Tian,” he introduced himself respectfully.

Zhang Zizhen said nothing. His cloudy eyes calmly observed Xu Tian from head to toe.

But very quickly, a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

As expected—he was too young.

It seemed the words earlier were just a clever attempt to get his attention.
