The officers stood but did not leave, circling around the brothers for quite some time. Seeing him drenched in cold sweat and looking genuinely ill, they couldn't help but turn back to look at those three young men. The leader then turned to ask Manbao, "What illness does he have?"
Manbao sighed. "A very serious illness."
"What kind of serious illness is it?"
"That's the patient's privacy, I can't tell you," Manbao frowned. "Look, there's no case here, and if you stay in my consultation room, I can't treat patients. Please leave."
"That won't do, someone has accused you of malpractice, and as officers of the court, we must investigate thoroughly. If you don't explain clearly, I will have to take you back to the government office."
Manbao asked, "Who made the accusation?"
The officer pointed at the youth, reconsidered, then turned to point at the three young men.
