As the words fell, a middle-aged man in a suit walked quickly towards them, accompanied by a rather young and alluring woman.
"You scoundrel!" the middle-aged man exclaimed, seeing the silver needles on the elder. "How dare you arbitrarily prick my father with silver needles! Remove them quickly, or I'll call the police!"
"Do you have a medical license to practice medicine here?" the alluring woman reprimanded coldly.
The man and woman immediately began scolding Li Se, appearing as if they were seeking an explanation.
Some bystanders couldn't stand it and began to defend Li Se.
"It's a misunderstanding, a genuine misunderstanding. Your father was in trouble just now, and it's thanks to this young man's medical skills that he recovered."
"If you don't believe me, you can ask your father."
"Yes, you shouldn't wrongly accuse people. He is your father's savior!"
"..."
However, Di Xuanming paid no heed. He looked coldly at Li Se and said, "Do you have a medical license to practice acupuncture on my father? It's utterly ridiculous. My father didn't have any major problems. If anything goes wrong with your arbitrary needling, you'll be held responsible!"
"Uh, uh, uh..." At this moment, the elder in the wheelchair became agitated, but he seemed unable to speak.
"Dad, don't worry, I'll get justice for you!" Di Xuanming declared, waving his hand.
"Hurry and pull out the silver needles!" Wei Xiaoqin commanded from the side.
Li Se was at a loss for words regarding the pair. He had his own temper and was naturally a bit annoyed. However, the silver needles were controlling the elder's condition. He said, "Your father has difficulty breathing, five heart heat, tidal fever, night sweats, and redness in the cheekbones. This is due to a lung infection. My silver needles can help alleviate it. If the needles are removed, there won't be any immediate issues, but after five minutes, it will recur!"
"Nonsense!" Di Xuanming refused to believe Li Se. "To spout such nonsense at such a young age. Acupuncture, you? I know a few Chinese medicine practitioners, and they wouldn't dare to perform acupuncture so casually. Do you have a medical license?"
"Who carries their license around all the time?" Li Se frowned.
Qiao Weiwei found it unbearable and said, "We were trying to help your father out of good intentions, and if you're not grateful, you're blaming us instead. How can you be so shameless?"
"Only if he actually saved him!" Wei Xiaoqin said dismissively. "Practicing medicine illegally is a serious crime. Believe it or not, we'll call the police and have you arrested!"
"I am a doctor. Since I've already inserted the silver needles, I will not remove them!" Although Li Se was very angry, as a doctor, he would not easily remove the silver needles. It would be irresponsible towards the elder.
"Heh, you won't remove them? Then we'll do it ourselves!" Di Xuanming snorted coldly. "Also, you're not leaving. Practicing medicine illegally, I'm calling the police to arrest you!"
"Exactly, pricking people with needles, what a bold move, and an elder at that. If anything goes wrong, can you bear the responsibility?" Wei Xiaoqin said coldly.
Li Se frowned and said, "You'd best not pull them out, or you'll face the consequences!"
However, his words were clearly ineffective. Di Xuanming quickly removed the silver needles from the elder. When they were first removed, the elder did not seem uncomfortable. He said triumphantly, "Any problems? Not at all. This proves your needles have nothing to do with it. Furthermore, I'm calling the police. You pricked my father with needles, and this matter cannot be let go so easily!"
"You said these needles could control the condition, and now they're out. Why don't I see any problems?" Wei Xiaoqin sneered, then said with disgust, "People like you are scammers, trying to swindle the elderly out of their money!"
"You little brat, trying to cheat my father's money! I must make you pay!" Di Xuanming's eyes were fierce, and he reached for his phone to make a call. However, before he could dial, the elder in the wheelchair suddenly cried out in pain.
"Dad, what's wrong?" Di Xuanming exclaimed in shock.
"Is it because of those needles just now?" Wei Xiaoqin asked.
Upon hearing this, Di Xuanming immediately looked coldly at Li Se. "Did those silver needles of yours cause this? If you don't give me an explanation today, I, Di Xuanming, will not let this matter rest!"
"I give you an explanation?" Li Se retorted sarcastically. "I already told you, these needles can temporarily alleviate your father's condition. You insisted on removing them yourself, and now you're coming to me for an explanation. Have some shame!"
"Exactly, this kind of person repays kindness with enmity!"
"We clearly saw it earlier. This young man used acupuncture to cure the elder's illness. When the needles were still in, there was no problem. He even reminded him not to remove the needles, but they insisted on removing them. Now that something has happened, they're blaming the young doctor."
"This is sheer ingratitude..."
"..."
Everyone began pointing at Di Xuanming and Wei Xiaoqin. After all, they had witnessed the entire process and naturally sided with Li Se.
Di Xuanming's face turned green and then purple. In fact, he already knew that the silver needles were controlling his father's condition, but he refused to admit it. Ignoring everything else, he commanded Li Se, "You must give me an explanation, or I won't let you off!"
Wei Xiaoqin arrogantly said, "So many people can testify that you performed acupuncture on our father. If anything unfortunate happens, you'll go to jail!"
They thought that by threatening Li Se, they could make him afraid, as they didn't take a young man in his twenties seriously.
"I can treat him, but you must apologize!" Li Se said coldly.
"Apologize?" Di Xuanming erupted. "If it weren't for you, my father wouldn't be like this. Now you want me to apologize to you? I'm already being generous by not making you kneel and apologize!"
"Do you see how much pain your father is in? He can only last another five minutes at most!" Li Se stated calmly.
Di Xuanming's expression was grim. If this continued, his father might really get into trouble, but he truly couldn't bring himself to apologize to this young man. He said sternly, "That's a problem you caused. You must restore my father to his original condition!"
However, Li Se completely ignored him, and time ticked by.
Seeing his father's increasing discomfort, Di Xuanming struggled for a moment before reluctantly saying, "I'm sorry, that was my fault just now!"
"Xuanming, why are you apologizing to him?" Wei Xiaoqin was displeased.
"Shut up!" Di Xuanming said sternly. "You apologize too!"
Wei Xiaoqin was also very reluctant, saying, "I'm sorry!"
Although both of them apologized, their attitude was very poor. However, Li Se couldn't be bothered with them. After all, if he delayed further, the elder's life might truly be in danger. He once again used silver needles to perform acupuncture on the elder, finally alleviating the condition.
"To have such medical skills at such a young age, truly remarkable!"
"The young doctor forgives and forgets and treats him again, unlike some people whose apologies are so insincere!"
"The world is indeed cold..."
"..."
The surrounding crowd praised Li Se's superb medical skills while mockingly criticizing Di Xuanming.
Di Xuanming's face was dark. Seeing that his father was fine, a cold glint appeared in his eyes, and he roared at Li Se, "Practicing medicine illegally at such a young age, I'm calling the police to arrest you!"
