"Plum Blossom Thirteen Needles" requires at least thirty years to master. This kid is only twenty-something. Unless he started learning it in the womb, it's impossible for him to have mastered it at his age," said Doctor Xue.
Doctor Xue's words caused everyone to burst into laughter.
Many began to whisper amongst themselves.
"The Plum Blossom Thirteen Needles this kid used that day must have been fake. Doctor Xue is right, how could he possibly know such formidable acupuncture techniques?"
"We were all fooled by him before. Fortunately, Doctor Xue exposed his lies, otherwise, we would have continued to be deceived like fools."
"Such a fraud should not be let off lightly." Su Dan Novel Network
...
Everyone believed Jiang Yi to be a fraud.
Even the Vice President and Chen Ping wore expressions of anger, feeling that Jiang Yi had played them for fools.
"You scoundrel Zhang San, how dare you trick us?" the Vice President roared at Jiang Yi, his face full of fury.
Others also glared at Jiang Yi with anger.
Jiang Yi simply chuckled.
"What are you laughing at?" the Vice President asked in a deep voice.
"I never imagined you would believe the words of this esteemed Doctor Xue so readily!"
Jiang Yi smiled faintly. "If you don't believe my medical skills, I have no desire to explain. I have nothing to say to people like you."
"Zhang San, even now you refuse to admit it? How could Doctor Xue possibly lie to us?" the Vice President said indignantly.
Jiang Yi had no intention of engaging with the Vice President and turned to leave the lounge.
"You stop right there!"
The Vice President strode over, glaring at Jiang Yi, and said, "I won't fire you now. I'll hire a lawyer and sue you. You'll regret this."
"I advise you not to do that, or you will regret it," Jiang Yi said with a smile.
"You're the one who will regret it!" the Vice President scoffed.
"You don't believe me?"
Jiang Yi smiled slightly. "Young Master Ma's illness can only be cured by me. If I don't intervene, Young Master Ma will surely die!"
Jiang Yi wasn't bluffing the Vice President.
"Hahaha..."
The Vice President threw his head back and laughed heartily. "Zhang San, even at this point, you still try to deceive people."
Doctor Xue let out a cold snort and glared at Jiang Yi, saying, "Boy, let me tell you, as long as I'm here, there's no illness that can't be cured for Young Master Ma."
As soon as he finished speaking, a nurse ran into the ward.
The nurse's face was ashen.
"Young Master Ma is in trouble!" the nurse exclaimed.
"What happened to my son?" The head of the Ma family suddenly stood up from his chair and asked angrily.
"Young Master Ma has… has fainted. His pulse is extremely weak, he's almost gone!" the nurse stammered.
Upon hearing this, the head of the Ma family nearly collapsed.
Everyone's expression changed.
Doctor Xue, in particular, frowned deeply.
"Doctor Xue, you must save my son. He is my only son..."
The head of the Ma family grabbed Doctor Xue's arm and pleaded, "As long as you can save my son, I will agree to any conditions. I can give you half of the Ma family's fortune!"
To save Young Master Ma, the head of the Ma family was willing to go to any lengths.
A hint of greed flashed across Doctor Xue's face, then quickly disappeared.
"Mr. Ma, rest assured, I will save Young Master Ma," Doctor Xue said.
"Thank you, Doctor Xue," the head of the Ma family said gratefully.
"Doctor Xue, it's up to you this time. If you can save Young Master Ma, I'll give you double the reward," Shen Lu said.
"Mm!"
Doctor Xue nodded and strode towards the ward.
Everyone eagerly followed.
Jiang Yi, unable to suppress his curiosity, also followed.
Jiang Yi wanted to see if Doctor Xue was using the Heavenly Spirit Needle Technique.
Upon reaching the ward entrance, Jiang Yi's gaze fell upon the man on the bed.
He saw a man, no older than twenty, lying on the bed, barely clinging to life. His eyes were slightly closed, making him look like a living corpse.
Young Master Ma was breathing his last.
Doctor Xue dared not delay. Upon reaching the bedside, he immediately took out a silver needle and inserted it into an acupoint on Young Master Ma.
Seeing no reaction from Young Master Ma, Doctor Xue inserted needles into several other acupoints.
But it was still to no avail.
Young Master Ma's condition continued to worsen.
Large beads of sweat broke out on Doctor Xue's forehead. He continued to insert needles into other acupoints on Young Master Ma.
Everyone held their breath, not daring to exhale, lest they disturb Doctor Xue.
Jiang Yi's lips curved upwards.
Doctor Xue was not using the Heavenly Spirit Needle Technique at all.
It merely bore some resemblance.
While Doctor Xue could deceive everyone else, he couldn't deceive Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi had mastered all ten major needle techniques, including the Heavenly Spirit Needle Technique.
"What's going on? Why hasn't my son's condition improved even after Doctor Xue used the Heavenly Spirit Needle Technique?" the head of the Ma family asked anxiously.
"Mr. Ma, don't worry, Doctor Xue will surely save Young Master Ma!" Shen Lu said, trying to comfort him.
As Shen Lu spoke, her eyebrows were furrowed.
As the hospital director, she possessed considerable medical knowledge herself. Seeing Young Master Ma's condition, she felt something was amiss.
However, Shen Lu didn't understand needle techniques and could only watch.
"Grandpa, who is the divine doctor among them?"
A clear voice sounded from outside the door.
The speaker was a cute little girl, holding the hand of an old man, standing outside the ward.
"Be quiet, don't disturb them," the old man said, stroking the little girl's head.
The little girl quickly covered her mouth with her hand.
At this moment, Young Master Ma was covered in silver needles, resembling a porcupine.
Doctor Xue was sweating profusely, but Young Master Ma's condition showed no improvement.
"Hoo!"
Doctor Xue exhaled deeply, pinched a silver needle with his fingers, and aimed it at Young Master Ma's Tianchi acupoint.
"Stop!"
A voice rang out from within the crowd.
Everyone turned to look in the direction of the voice.
Upon seeing that it was Jiang Yi, their faces filled with anger.
"Zhang San, if you dare to disturb Doctor Xue again, I will never let you off today," the Vice President warned Jiang Yi angrily.
"I'm doing this for Young Master Ma's own good!"
Jiang Yi smiled faintly. "If Doctor Xue inserts this needle into Young Master Ma's Tianchi acupoint, Young Master Ma will be finished!"
No one believed Jiang Yi's words.
Seeing that no one believed him, Jiang Yi stopped trying to intervene.
He would simply wait to watch the show.
Doctor Xue's hand paused in mid-air, unsure whether to insert the needle into Young Master Ma's Tianchi acupoint.
Young Master Ma's condition was worse than anticipated.
Doctor Xue had no certainty.
"Doctor Xue, what are you waiting for? Save my son quickly!" the head of the Ma family urged Doctor Xue anxiously.
The surrounding people also began to chime in.
Doctor Xue could only try his best, treating the dying patient as if he were still alive, and inserted the needle into Young Master Ma's Tianchi acupoint.
The next second, Young Master Ma's head drooped, and he stopped breathing.
Young Master Ma was dead!
The entire ward fell silent, not a sound to be heard.
No one had anticipated that it would end like this.
