"What's going on?"
These parents were nervous and scared when they saw their children spitting blood.
"Everyone, don't be nervous. Spitting blood means it's effective."
Wan Yunting, who had just finished needling the little boy, straightened his back and waved to the agitated parents. Pointing to the black blood continuously flowing from the child's mouth, he said, "This black blood is the toxin compressed within the child's internal organs. The more it's expelled, the better."
"Really?"
Although the parents heard this explanation, they were still nervous and scared. Especially the child's parents, their hearts were constantly hanging, as they had gambled on letting Wan Yunting treat their child.
"Cough, cough..."
The next moment, the little boy lying down, his face contorted, also began to cough and spit blood.
"He's awake, my son is awake!"
When the parent saw their son slowly opening his eyelids, even the purplish complexion on his face gradually faded, showing clear signs of improvement, causing the child's parents to cry out in excitement.
"Good heavens, the child is really awake..." The other parents exclaimed excitedly upon seeing this.
Xu Yejing had been standing by, watching. From the moment the child started spitting blood, she was alarmed. Seeing the child's slowly opening eyelids and the pained expression, Xu Yejing couldn't help but step forward, pull open the child's eyelid to check his pupils, and immediately exclaimed, "His consciousness has returned..."
"That's great, Brother Yunting is amazing."
Su Ke'er, standing beside him, excitedly gave Wan Yunting a thumbs-up when she heard that the child's consciousness had returned.
"How is that possible?"
However, Liu He was filled with disbelief. His eyes widened as he stared at Wan Yunting and asked, "It's the same Five Metal Toxin Expelling Needle Technique, why can your needles force out the toxins?"
Wan Yunting turned his head and glanced at him sideways, smiling, "I told you, you're still a bit short."
"Mr. Wan, please save my daughter quickly..."
At that moment, the other parents excitedly grabbed Wan Yunting, urging him to quickly treat the other children...
Without further ado, Wan Yunting continued to use Liu He's silver needles to perform the Five Metal Toxin Expelling Needle Technique on the other four children. Finally, he arrived at Liu He's niece's bedside. Liu Tai glanced at Liu He and hurriedly pulled Wan Yunting, pleading, "Mr. Wan, please hurry and save my daughter. There's no more time to delay."
"Don't worry, I'll start needling the child now..."
Wan Yunting nodded, not even looking at Liu He, who stood by with a blank expression, and began needling and treating his niece...
"Son, how are you feeling?"
The little boy who was treated first, after having his toxins expelled by the Five Metal Toxin Expelling Needle Technique, his complexion returned to pale. His lips even showed a dark red color, and his skin gradually returned to normal.
Clearly, most of the toxins in the child's body had been expelled.
Wan Yunting examined him and found that the child had regained consciousness and was out of danger, but he was very weak. He smiled and said, "Sir, there are no more problems. I'll write a prescription later. Have the child take the medicine according to the prescription, and the toxins will be completely cleared from the child's body in two days."
"Good, good, good, thank you, Mr. Wan. I'll kneel down to you..."
The middle-aged parent suddenly knelt down to Wan Yunting with a thud, "Thank you for saving our son. I, Wang Zhen, will serve you like an ox or a horse in the future to repay your kindness..."
"Thank you, Mr. Wan..."
Immediately, the other parents also knelt down to express their gratitude, tears streaming down their faces with excitement.
They thought these children wouldn't survive, which had driven these parents to the brink of collapse. Now that Wan Yunting had pulled these six children back from the brink of death, these parents couldn't control their overwhelming emotions and knelt down to thank him.
"What are you doing? Get up quickly..."
Wan Yunting and Su Ke'er quickly helped the kneeling parents up and said, "I am also a doctor, and saving people is our sacred duty. You don't need to thank me like this."
"Mr. Wan, you are truly a divine doctor...!"
"Yes, yes, compared to others, Mr. Wan is simply a divine doctor descended to earth!"
"Hmph, do they deserve to be called doctors?"
The parents all cast displeased glances at Liu He. At this moment, Xue Xialan, who had returned, looked bewildered, not knowing what was happening.
"He has the audacity to be the vice chairman of the Chinese Medicine Association and a professor at the University of Chinese Medicine with such meager skills? Heh, no wonder Chinese medicine is declining. It's because such mediocre doctors occupy privileged positions and suppress truly skilled doctors of Chinese medicine!"
"Exactly. It's truly unjust that a doctor with such great ability as Mr. Wan was forced to resign from his chairmanship."
"Truly, incompetent doctors are in power..."
The parents present, seeing their children gradually recovering and out of danger under Wan Yunting's treatment, began to speak up for him.
Liu He, on the other hand, became the target of their attacks, making his expression extremely unsightly. He clenched his fists, his body trembling slightly, his eyes wide as he stared intently at Wan Yunting. Gritting his teeth, it was the first time he had been called a mediocre doctor!
"Everyone, please quiet down for a moment."
Wan Yunting quickly stopped the parents who were still scolding. Looking at the sullen and embarrassed Liu He, he smiled and said, "Actually, Vice Chairman Liu is quite capable. It was Gu Zhuxi and I who strongly recommended him to become the vice chairman of the association. Although his medical skills are still lacking, I believe that in a few years, Vice Chairman Liu's medical skills will definitely improve."
"Forget it, Mr. Wan, don't defend him. He's just relying on his grandfather, the national physician Liu Pingyi, otherwise, why would he have so many titles!" a parent who seemed to know Liu He said with a cold laugh.
"He's so young and holds so many titles. It's normal to be arrogant and complacent, but compared to Mr. Wan, he, Liu He, is far behind!"
"That's right. If you talk about titles, does he have as many as Mr. Wan? But you don't see him being arrogant and showing off everywhere in the world!"
"Heh, to put it bluntly, the less capable a person is, the more they like to show off to others, as if they're afraid others won't know."
These parents, one after another, continued to insinuate and mock Liu He, making his complexion increasingly grim. His heart churned with anger as he glared at Wan Yunting with resentment and fury in his eyes.
"Let's go."
Although she didn't know what had happened, Xue Xialan knew that Liu He couldn't stay there any longer. She pulled him and they left the emergency room.
Liu He gritted his teeth and shot Wan Yunting a cold, resentful glance. Without saying a word, he was pulled away by Xue Xialan from the resuscitation room...
"Hmph, a disgrace."
The other parents still couldn't resist snorting with disdain.
They thought Liu He was very capable, and he had arrogantly agreed to treat these children.
But what was the result? He talked big but had no skill at all. How could these parents not curse and mock him?
Next, these parents surrounded Wan Yunting. Even Liu Tai couldn't help but say some flattering words, as he had saved his daughter. After all, his cousin Liu He was incompetent.
Seeing that most of the toxins in the children had been expelled, Wan Yunting withdrew the needles, then wrote a prescription for the parents to get the medicine. Following his instructions for decocting and administering, the children would recover in two days.
By 4 p.m., Wan Yunting and Xu Xiangqian came out of the emergency department. After a brief chat, they saw Xu Xiangqian off.
"Brother Yunting..."
Su Ke'er, who had changed her clothes, came out with a bag. She linked her arm with Wan Yunting's and said cheerfully with a smile, "Brother Yunting, you've really saved me face this time."
Wan Yunting couldn't help but pinch Su Ke'er's tender and plump little face, smiling, "What, are you unhappy working here? Is Director Xu too strict?"
"No."
Su Ke'er linked his arm as they walked out of the emergency department, saying, "Director Xu is a good person and takes good care of me. I'm learning from her now."
Wan Yunting, who arrived at the car first, opened the passenger door to let Su Ke'er in. He walked around the car and got into the driver's seat, driving away from the hospital and heading to a nearby commercial street, planning to take Su Ke'er shopping.
"If you're unhappy working, you don't have to do it. I can still support you," Wan Yunting joked while driving.
"No."
Su Ke'er pouted her small mouth and glanced at him with her large eyes, smiling, "Although I'm not as good as Yan Xi Jie or Gu Luotang, I don't want people to say that I, Su Ke'er, rely on men."
Wan Yunting glanced at her and smiled, "When did you become so strong?"
Su Ke'er gave him a subtle glance with her large eyes and said with a soft哼, "Isn't it all because of you?"
Wan Yunting's expression froze, and he immediately understood what Su Ke'er meant, which made him feel ashamed.
"By the way, Brother Yunting, how long will you be staying back in the capital this time?" Su Ke'er didn't want to make the man awkward and quickly changed the subject.
Wan Yunting smiled and said, "I won't be leaving the capital for now."
"Really?"
Su Ke'er's large eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "Does that mean you'll have time to accompany me from now on?"
"Mhm."
Wan Yunting nodded with a smile. Seeing Ke'er's excitement, she leaned over and kissed his cheek, making Wan Yunting, who was driving, want to kiss her back...
On the other side, Liu He drove Xue Xialan back to the Chinese Medicine Association office building. However, his face was gloomy the entire time. Liu Yong, who happened to meet them, asked in confusion, "Xiao He, why are you back? Didn't Liu Tai say his daughter was poisoned earlier? How is she now?"
Liu He's face was dark and gloomy, and he waved his hand, unwilling to speak, and went straight to his office.
"This...?"
Liu Yong was bewildered. Xue Xialan then said, "The children who were poisoned are all fine."
Liu Yong asked, "Then what's wrong with him?"
Xue Xialan sighed, "The one who cured those children was Wan Yunting!"
"What, Wan Yunting?"
Liu Yong's gloomy eyes widened. Xue Xialan briefly told him about the events at the hospital. Liu Yong's old face turned grim, and he snorted, "Why should Xiao He care about that Wan Yunting? Even if his medical skills are amazing, so what? He's no longer the chairman."
Xue Xialan said, "I'll go in and talk to him."
"Go ahead."
Liu Yong nodded. He didn't care about Wan Yunting at all.
Xue Xialan pushed open the office door and entered. She saw Liu He sitting on the sofa in the reception area, looking gloomy, smoking a cigar. It was clear that he was still dwelling on what had happened at the hospital.
Xue Xialan, dressed in a floral dress, walked over, sat beside him, and comforted him, "Alright, stop being sulky."
Liu He's expression suddenly turned ferocious, and he said angrily, "How can I not be angry? In front of so many people, Wan Yunting was slapping my face."
Xue Xialan sighed, "But what's the use of you caring? His attainment in medical skills is inherently excellent. Even my father said he was inferior. So, don't worry too much. After all, he's no longer the chairman of the Chinese Medicine Association, but you are the vice chairman!"
Liu He, taking a deep puff of his cigar, said with a ferocious expression, exhaling smoke and gritting his teeth, "I thought that among my peers, no one could match my medical skills, but I didn't expect Wan Yunting to be better than me. Tell me, how can I not care?"
"Okay, stop thinking about it."
Then Xue Xialan took the cigar from his hand and placed it in the ashtray. She stood up, adjusted her floral dress, and straddled Liu He directly. She cupped his ferocious face with her hands and initiated a passionate kiss. Xue Xialan, who was usually a lady of noble birth, looked enchanting and seductive at this moment, and said with a smile, "Anyway, Wan Yunting can't practice medicine anymore. Even if he has excellent medical skills, so what? You are the vice chairman now, and next, we should figure out how to get the position of chairman!"
Liu He wrapped his arms around Xue Xialan's slender and soft waist and began to act unruly. He felt that what she said was right, and his expression finally softened. A wicked smile appeared on his face, "Your grandfather and my grandfather, as well as Old Li, all support me. It won't be long before we can oust that old fellow Gu Yuanbai. Then you'll be the chairman's wife!"
These words made Xue Xialan's charming face break into a smile. She offered her red lips and began to shake vigorously in the man's embrace...
