"Golden Needles? You mean, this young man is using the Yang Revival Golden Needles?" Feng Deye asked, somewhat surprised. Although not a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, he had heard of the Yang Revival Golden Needles. It was an unfathomably profound needling technique. How could it be performed by such a young man?
Elder TCM Practitioner Chen glared, "Nonsense! You are all foolish. After the golden needles were inserted and the patient's condition stabilized, you should have realized that this young man's needling skills were extraordinary. Now, with the patient in this state, only that young man can handle it. Where is he? Quickly, go fetch him!"
Feng Deye said swiftly, "Quick, go invite that young man who was just here... Wait! I'll go myself."
"Director Feng, what good will that do? Even I am helpless..." Gu Yun shook his head, trying to stop him.
"Gu Yun, how dare you! We've already reviewed the surveillance footage. You never intervened to treat the patient, yet you claimed to have stabilized the condition. Aren't you misleading us? I'll go invite the young divine doctor first, and then I'll settle accounts with you!" Feng Deye sneered, no longer bothering with Gu Yun, and turned to leave.
"Dr. Gu, what exactly is going on?" Mr. Liu grabbed Gu Yun's collar and questioned him coldly.
"I... I..." Gu Yun wanted to explain.
Elder TCM Practitioner Chen said coldly, "You have all misunderstood that young man. It was he who saved the patient, and this Gu Yun actually claimed he stabilized the condition. Moreover, the surveillance showed that he never stabilized the condition from start to finish. This means the golden needles saved the patient, not harmed him. Now that the needles are removed, it's natural for problems to arise. We can only pray that the young man can overlook this, otherwise..."
He didn't finish, but Mr. Liu already understood the situation. He roared at Gu Yun, "You scoundrel doctor, what kind of doctor are you? If anything happens to my father, I'll make you pay with your life!"
"Incompetent yet you pulled out my golden needles, you idiot!" Mrs. Liu also cursed.
At this moment, some of the surrounding doctors and onlookers knew what had happened. They all realized they had misunderstood that young man and began pointing fingers at Gu Yun.
"Is this Gu Yun even human? The young doctor stabilized the patient's condition with acupuncture, and he claimed acupuncture was harmful. It's fortunate he rushed in and stabilized the condition, isn't that misleading?"
"Now it's a mess. After the golden needles were pulled, the patient is almost dead. Heh, if it weren't for Elder TCM Practitioner Chen arriving, Gu Yun would probably still blame the young man. He takes the credit, and others bear the blame!"
"Exactly. He reaps all the benefits. I suspect Gu Yun has done this sort of thing many times."
"Investigate strictly! We must investigate strictly!!!"
"..."
Gu Yun's face turned pale. He vehemently denied, "No, I stabilized the condition. That brat just performed acupuncture without permission, it's his problem. If I can't save him, it's also his problem, it's because his acupuncture harmed him..."
"Shut your mouth!" Mr. Liu shouted, which indeed startled Gu Yun.
Not long after, Feng Deye returned, and with him was naturally Li Se. Although the attitudes of these people were now very poor, Li Se knew that if he didn't intervene, the patient would surely die!
"Doctor, please save my father. I was wrong just now, I apologize to you..." Mr. Liu said, even kneeling. After all, this was his father.
"Please, save him!" Mrs. Liu also knelt.
"Get up, saving lives is more important." Li Se helped them up, not saying much more. The couple's previous attitude had indeed been very poor, but it was also understandable, as it concerned their father's condition. Since they had already knelt and apologized, he wouldn't dwell on it.
The golden needles reappeared in his hand. Li Se wielded them with the speed of lightning, using the Qi Flying Needles. As all the golden needles were inserted into the patient's body and infused with true qi, the patient's condition finally began to recover slowly.
"Divine doctor! Truly a divine doctor!"
"This acupuncture technique is superb!"
"So young, yet possesses such medical skills, truly a divine doctor."
"I actually misunderstood him earlier."
"..."
Many people praised him repeatedly.
However, they naturally couldn't discern the intricacies. Elder TCM Practitioner Chen, as an insider, was greatly astonished, almost disbelieving. This was not only the Yang Revival needling technique but also Qi Control Needles and Qi Flying Needles. Such needling methods were probably beyond even imperial physicians!
"Little divine doctor, where... where did you learn these needling techniques?" Elder TCM Practitioner Chen asked eagerly.
"Passed down from my ancestors," Li Se replied truthfully.
"Amazing, truly amazing! To possess such medical skills at such a young age is a great fortune for our traditional Chinese medicine!" Elder TCM Practitioner Chen laughed heartily.
No matter where one went, there would always be a group of elder TCM practitioners who cared deeply about traditional Chinese medicine. In Qingyun City, there were Elder Huang and the others; in the capital, there was Sun Bai, and the elder TCM practitioner before him.
"Sir, you flatter me," Li Se cupped his hands.
Feng Deye said apologetically, "Little divine doctor, I am truly sorry for misunderstanding you earlier."
It couldn't entirely be blamed on him. After all, Li Se had performed acupuncture privately, and he was so young. Moreover, Gu Yun was a doctor from their hospital, so Feng Deye would naturally trust Gu Yun more. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been misled to remove the needles. Fortunately, this young man had a magnanimous heart, otherwise, the consequences would have been truly unimaginable.
"It's only human nature. I said earlier that you would regret it and come to seek my help." Li Se smiled. All his words had come true.
Feng Deye gave an embarrassed smile, then looked coldly at Gu Yun and said, "Gu Yun, your medical ethics are problematic. I will expel you. Furthermore, due to your fabrications, you nearly caused a medical accident. When the police arrive, you can explain yourself to them."
Mr. Liu shouted, "I want him to go to jail!"
"That's right, send me to jail!" Mrs. Liu also shouted hysterically.
Gu Yun's face turned ashen with fear. Even at this point, he was still trying to defend himself, but alas, no one was willing to believe him anymore. Like a falling tree, no one supported him. Previously, even without verification, everyone would have believed him willingly, but after being deceived, no one believed a single word he said.
The police soon arrived and took Gu Yun away. Li Se was preparing to leave, but just as he was about to go, Elder TCM Practitioner Chen rushed over, his face full of respect, "Young man, I still don't know your name?"
"Li Se!"
Elder TCM Practitioner Chen said with longing, "Can you take me as a disciple?"
