Narrowing his eyes, Fade paused for a moment before turning to look at James and he asked, "James, what kind of punishment would be suitable for this mistake?"
James replied in a deep voice, "According to the regulations, we should revoke Master Chiang's position as a committee member of the Chinese Medicine Association. At the same time, we should also expel him from the Chinese Medicine Association and strip him off his 'National Chinese medicine doctor' title.
Shocked upon hearing this, Fenoli involuntarily yelled, "No, how can you..."
"Shut up!" Before he could finish his words, Edmund shot Fenoli a glare and barked, "I'm willing to accept the punishment."
"Dad, you..." Edmund's National Chinese Medicine Doctor title and the committee member of the Chinese Medicine Association status was the trump card of the Chiang family. If all of these were stripped off of him, the Chiang family would definitely decline. That was why Fenoli was unwilling to let this happen.
However, Edmund bellowed again, interrupting
Fenoli. Then, Edmund glared at him, followed by a knowing wink before he continued, "I've already made up my mind. You don't need to say anything further anymore."
Seeing his father's determined eyes, Fenoli calmed down and pondered for a moment. Then, he immediately understood his father's intention.
Edmund would rather use his years of status to take responsibility for this incident than to admit the deliberate frame- up. Otherwise, the entire Chiang family as well as Chiang Medical Center would probably be over.
In this current situation, Edmund had taken the sole responsibility for this incident. Although he would be losing his previous status, the Chiang family could still rely on Chiang Medical Center's business to survive. This was all due to its long standing reputation.
Fenoli immediately closed his mouth and kept silent after everything became clear to him. However, his gaze was still filled with resentment when he looked at Fade.
Seeing this, Fade looked at Edmund and asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure you don't admit to the frame-up incident?"
With a firm look, Edmund shook his head and replied, "I don't understand what you mean. This incident is solely a mistake made by me. It has nothing to do with a frame-up at all."
Upon hearing this, Fade nodded but did not have much reaction as everything was actually within his expectations.
After a moment of silence, Fade looked at Edmund and said, "The reason why you insisted that this is entirely your mistake is to protect Chiang Medical Center for your family."
Hearing this, Edmund and Fenoli's eyes widened at the same time.
However, Edmund immediately returned to normal and said in a calm voice, "I don't understand what you mean by that. The mistake I said earlier is nothing butthetruth."
"Really?" A faint smile appeared at the corner of Fade's mouth and then he said, "If that's the case, I believe you surely won't mind if Chiang Medical Center collapsed."
"What do you mean by this?" Asked Edmund while his expression became tense.
Fade did not explain anything. Turning around, he looked at the opposite side of the road and said, "You can start now."
Upon Fade's order, a store on the opposite side of the road, which was originally covered by construction cloth, had its cloth removed immediately. In an instant, an antique-styled and elegant store was revealed.
On the plaque hung at the middle of the shop, there were three large words, "Sincere Medicine Center" written on it.
Everyone at the scene couldn't help but be stunned when they saw this. There were some people who still had not come back to their senses yet and wore a perplexed look on their faces.
"What is this Sincere Medicine Center? What do Fade's words mean?"
