Wu Lao took out a silver needle, ready to pierce the Mingmen acupoint.
"Hold on," Jiang Nuan immediately called out, her voice exceptionally cold.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Elder Wu is here to treat a patient, are you looking for trouble?" Nan Xin glared at Jiang Nuan in anger.
This woman was radiant. She remembered her as Jiang Nuan, her brother's companion.
Jiang Nuan ignored her and looked at Elder Wu. "If you insert this needle, you will take Chairman Li's life."
"Damn it, you brat. Elder Wu is saving someone, and you dare to question him? What do you know at your age? Look at my face. If it weren't for Elder Wu, it would have been covered in wrinkles long ago. Because of Elder Wu's miracle medicine, I look ten years younger than my peers."
Jiang Nuan: "..." Couldn't tell.
Nan Xin was beautiful with good skin, but upon closer inspection, her stratum corneum was very thin, a result of over-pampering her skin. If she stopped using the products, her entire face would show redness.
She asked in an unhurried tone, "Miss Nan, do you dare to stop using the medication? If you just stop using Elder Wu's medicine for a week, you'll quickly see the consequences on your face."
"You're spouting nonsense!" Elder Wu, afraid that Jiang Nuan would ruin his money-making scheme, angrily interrupted her.
He knew that these wealthy young ladies lacked nothing but money. As long as there was a good product, they would be willing to pay one hundred thousand for something that cost a hundred to make.
"Hmph! As a grandmaster in the medical field, you deceive people with some unorthodox beauty creams. Elder Wu, am I wrong?" Jiang Nuan's words were sharp. Today, she was determined to corner this old man.
She couldn't control others, but she would not let Chairman Nanzhou, whom she cared about, suffer any harm.
"Jiang Nuan, let me tell you, this is Vicky's beauty cream formula. My teacher is very familiar with her, which is why we have such a miraculous formula. You can't just talk nonsense here. If you still want to make a name for yourself in the medical field, you'd be wise to keep quiet." Jia Bin didn't want the money he was about to earn to slip away again.
Jiang Nuan: "..." Damn it, I'm not familiar with this old man at all.
Nanzhou almost laughed. How come he didn't know this old man was familiar with Nuannuan?
His sister was foolish and rich, deserving to be cheated.
Jiang Nuan didn't have the time to argue with them now; saving the patient was the priority.
"Nanzhou, do you trust me?" Jiang Nuan suddenly asked Nanzhou. Her voice was very calm, but Nanzhou could hear her sincerity.
Nanzhou looked at her, a gentle smile on his handsome face. "In this world, the person I trust the most is Nuannuan." Many times in the past, when he had entrusted his back to her, she had ensured his safety.
Jiang Nuan smiled captivatingly and slowly looked at Nanyang.
Nan Lin immediately stepped in front of Jiang Nuan, looking down at her. "I won't allow you to touch my father. Elder Wu, please save my father quickly."
Elder Wu turned to look at Nanyang lying on the hospital bed. He had only a breath left. Jiang Nuan's words still echoed in his ears.
The acupuncture point he was about to target could revive Nanyang, but it wouldn't last long. Nanyang would fall into a coma again, and eventually die.
However, after Jiang Nuan's words, he dared not insert the needle. Nanyang had taken a stimulant, which had caused his heart attack. He was already on his last breath.
He narrowed his eyes. So many doctors before him hadn't been able to cure him. If he failed, it would be nothing. It wouldn't ruin his reputation either. If Nanyang died, he would also receive a large sum of money.
Then, he mercilessly inserted the needle, his movements extremely fast, giving everyone no time to stop him.
Jiang Nuan frowned slightly, watching Nanyang begin to convulse.
"Dad." Nanzhou shoved Elder Wu away and glared at him. "Nuannuan already said that this needle would take my father's life. This is murder."
Nanyang twitched a few times, let out a pained groan, and then lay still seconds later, clearly having passed away.
Elder Wu's face suddenly turned pale. This was truly...
"Dad."
"Dad." Nanzhou and Nan Xin were heartbroken.
Elder Wu glanced at Nan Lin, subtly signaling his success. As a doctor, he knew Nanyang couldn't be saved.
Nan Lin looked at Jiang Nuan and angrily said, "Dad only had a breath left. It seems Dad can't make it this time. Elder Wu, you are human, not a god. It's not your fault you couldn't save my father." Nan Lin looked so sad, he almost shed tears.
Jiang Nuan said, "I don't think so!"
She walked over and gave Nanzhou a pill. "Give this to Chairman. He had a heart attack triggered by medication. No acupuncture is needed; this pill can save the Chairman."
Knowing that Nanyang was Nanzhou's father, she had been prepared. She owed Nanzhou a life and would do her best to help him.
She would not let his close relative die.
Jiang Nuan's words stunned Elder Wu and Nan Lin, especially Nan Lin, who was filled with dread. Why could she see it?
Nanzhou frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flickering in his eyes. The last time his father had fallen ill, he had mentioned that his food had been tampered with, which had caused him to relapse.
And this time it was due to medication. Therefore, someone around his father wanted his father dead.
By the time Nan Lin recovered his senses, Nanyang had already put the pill into his father's mouth. He wanted to stop him but dared not speak.
Nanzhou was inherently sensitive. After this incident, he would definitely suspect him.
Nan Lin glared fiercely at Jiang Nuan. This woman had ruined his plans twice. He would deal with her later.
Jiang Nuan also understood then that the ones who truly wanted Nanyang dead were him and his son.
After raising him with so much hardship, all he received in return were schemes to murder him time and again.
Jiang Nuan slightly lowered her eyes. Nanzhou, after this, would also understand the reason.
Several people stared anxiously at Nanyang. After taking the pill, Nanyang's pale complexion gradually turned rosy.
Seeing this, Nanzhou breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that something he didn't know had happened during his absence.
He looked at his father anxiously, hoping he would truly pull through. Life, aging, sickness, and death were natural laws that no one could prevent. However, if his father died due to someone's scheme, he would tear down the entire Nan family to accompany him.
Everyone was nervous. Some hoped Nanyang would die, while others hoped he would live.
Nanzhou, unable to wait any longer, turned and asked Jiang Nuan, "Nuannuan, when will my father wake up?"
Jiang Nuan looked at him and gave him a reassuring look. "Wait five more minutes."
"Hmph! You brat, you're just bragging. The Chairman has already stopped breathing, and you're still spouting nonsense." Elder Wu didn't believe Jiang Nuan could bring people back from the dead.
Jiang Nuan raised her fair, captivating face, her gaze directly at Elder Wu. "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Elder Wu suddenly felt guilty. "I..."
"Jiang Nuan, if you dare to deceive us, don't blame me for being impolite." Nan Lin glared at Jiang Nuan furiously, interrupting Elder Wu. His gaze seemed to want to tear Jiang Nuan to shreds.
Anyone else would have been scared out of their wits by Nan Lin's imposing glare.
But Jiang Nuan remained composed, her piercing gaze as calm as a lake. Standing in the light, the girl's skin appeared even more fair and smooth. She was radiant, and even though everyone in the room was an outstanding individual, Jiang Nuan was still the most dazzling.
Jiang Nuan said, "Young Master, please don't be anxious. No matter how much I say, it will seem weak. The result will be the best proof."
