The phone was quickly connected.
"Who is this?"
A voice, elderly and slightly breathless, came from the other end of the line.
It seemed the old man's condition was still quite severe.
"May I speak to Mr. He Wanshan?"
"Yes."
The voice carried a hint of coldness, as if the elderly these days had been trained by scam callers to become anti-fraud experts.
Receiving a call from a stranger, he immediately remained highly vigilant.
"I'm Dr. Li Jingsheng from Sunshine Clinic! I'm calling to ask if your condition has improved?"
Li Jingsheng first had to build some rapport.
"Oh, it's Dr. Li! I'm sorry, I thought it was another one of those scammer bastards. If it weren't for visiting your clinic that day, I would have continued to think it was lung cancer! We went to the designated hospital the next day, and it really was the tuberculosis you diagnosed, not cancer. Damn those quacks at the Second Hospital, they really scared me!"
