"Heh heh."
Yao Xiangming chuckled, looking at Wan Yunting and saying, "You claim it's Fabry disease, what's your diagnosis?"
Gu Yuanbai, Jiang Yichun, Song Chengqi, Ding Huixiang, and everyone else present turned their gaze to Wan Yunting. He turned to Wang Linzhi and asked, "Does anyone in your family have a condition like yours?"
Wang Linzhi was stunned. He had no idea what Fabry disease was. Shaking his head, he replied, "No one in my family has this condition like me."
Wan Yunting raised an eyebrow, and Yao Xiangming smiled, saying, "You're Wan Yunting, right? I admit you're quite capable, but you're still a bit green. After all, he's a patient chosen by President Gu to test you. And he has a skin rash, so please don't interrupt my conversation. Sit down quietly."
Wan Yunting turned to look at Yao Xiangming, his eyes narrowing slightly, knowing that Yao Xiangming's appearance today was nothing but an attempt to cause trouble.
"Oh, I remember!"
Suddenly, Wang Linzhi's eyes widened as he exclaimed, "When I was very young, my fourth uncle suddenly fell ill and died. But I was too young at the time, and my parents only said he died of an illness. They didn't seem to know either."
This statement stirred something in Wan Yunting's heart, and everyone present was also startled.
"Push your tongue against the roof of your mouth. Let me see under your tongue," Wan Yunting said immediately.
Wang Linzhi murmured "Oh" and complied, opening his mouth and pushing his tongue against the roof of his mouth for Wan Yunting to see. Song Sinan next to him leaned in. To her surprise, a few red spots appeared under Wang Linzhi's tongue. She immediately raised her eyebrows and said, "A skin rash doesn't have this symptom!"
"Let me see..."
Gu Yuanbai, Jiang Yichun, and the others couldn't sit still any longer. They all got up and went to look. Seeing the red spots under Wang Linzhi's tongue, even Gu Yuanbai was surprised. "Did you know there were red spots under your tongue?"
"I didn't know."
Wang Linzhi was completely bewildered, unaware of anything.
Yao Xiangming, standing nearby, also raised an eyebrow and looked at Wan Yunting, wondering if this kid had actually hit the mark.
"Elder Gu, Fabry disease symptoms are similar to a skin rash in the early stages. However, the unique difference is that patients with Fabry disease will also develop red spots under their tongue. This symptom indicates that the patient's condition is gradually worsening," Wan Yunting stated seriously to Gu Yuanbai, ignoring Yao Xiangming. "So, the most urgent thing now is to get him to the hospital for an examination to confirm if he has Fabry disease and to determine the next course of treatment."
"Alright."
Gu Yuanbai was not offended by Wan Yunting questioning his diagnosis of Wang Linzhi. He immediately said to Deng Hongsheng, "Quickly send him to the Southern Hospital for further examination to see if he has Fabry disease."
Deng Hongsheng nodded and stepped forward to help Wang Linzhi up, preparing to take him to the hospital for examination. However, as Wang Linzhi took two steps after standing up, his vision suddenly darkened, and he fell to the ground. Deng Hongsheng cried out in alarm, "What's wrong with you..."
This scene caused everyone present to turn pale with shock. Wan Yunting was the first to rush forward, squatting down and placing Wang Linzhi flat on his back on the ground. He grabbed Wang Linzhi's wrist to feel his pulse, but it was fluctuating erratically, impossible to grasp.
"It's sudden heart failure!"
Gu Yuanbai, also squatting down, felt Wang Linzhi's rapidly spasming heart. Wang Linzhi had already fainted, his mouth bulging. Wan Yunting noticed the abnormality and quickly went to pinch his mouth, saying urgently, "Not good, he's swallowing his tongue!"
As he spoke, Wan Yunting pried open Wang Linzhi's mouth, inserting two fingers to prevent him from swallowing his tongue. Although it looked somewhat nauseating, at this moment, no one present cared. They watched anxiously as Wang Linzhi suddenly fell into a seizure and fainted, unsure of what to do.
"Quick, call 120!" someone shouted. Jiang Yichun and Song Chengqi anxiously said, "If this is really Fabry disease, we haven't encountered it before, so we don't know how to rescue him."
"Yes, what are we to do..."
Zhang Fenglin, Wei Datong, and others were all worried. They hadn't expected such a situation to arise during a supposedly friendly medical competition.
Seeing Gu Yuanbai, Jiang Yichun, and the others in a panic, Yao Xiangming and Dong Yuanlang, who were standing by, exchanged glances and couldn't help but sneer. This was the kind of scene they most wanted to see. If anything were to happen to Wang Linzhi, and the matter was blown out of proportion, not only would Gu Yuanbai and his associates be implicated, but the Lingnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association they had founded might also be stillborn.
"Get the silver needles..."
Wan Yunting immediately shouted, "Quickly bring me the silver needles."
"Hongsheng."
Gu Yuanbai also anxiously called out to Deng Hongsheng. Only then did people present frantically search for silver needles. Gu Luotang happened to have silver needles with her. "Brother Yunting, I have silver needles..."
"Good, you stop him. Don't let him swallow his tongue."
Wan Yunting immediately shifted his position, allowing Gu Luotang to squat down and insert her fingers into Wang Linzhi's mouth to prevent him from swallowing his tongue.
Wan Yunting, holding the silver needles, opened them and called out to Gu Yuanbai, "Elder Gu, pinch his Neiguan acupoint!"
"Alright."
In this critical situation, Gu Yuanbai didn't think much and did as Wan Yunting instructed.
This scene made Yao Xiangming, who was watching, raise his eyebrows. He saw Wan Yunting twirl a silver needle, then directly tear open Wang Linzhi's T-shirt to expose his chest. He measured a few times on Wang Linzhi's left chest near the heart with his left hand, and with his right hand, he twirled the silver needle, using his qi to sterilize it, before preparing to unhesitatingly stab the needle into the Tianchi acupoint on Wang Linzhi's chest!
"Hmm, such powerful qi!"
Yao Xiangming's eyes beneath his glasses widened slightly as he watched Wan Yunting twirl a second silver needle. He paused in mid-air for a moment, then steadily inserted it into the Shenfeng acupoint on Wang Linzhi's chest.
Yao Xiangming clearly felt the powerful qi emanating from Wan Yunting to sterilize the silver needle, which surprised him. He muttered to himself, "This kid, could he have reached the realm of external qi projection?"
Uh...
As Wan Yunting inserted the second silver needle, Wang Linzhi's body suddenly twitched a few times. At the same time, Gu Luotang felt him gasp for air. She immediately withdrew her fingers from his mouth, along with Wang Linzhi's saliva. Although it looked disgusting, the situation was urgent, and Gu Luotang didn't care anymore. "Brother Yunting, he can breathe now."
Wan Yunting glanced and nodded without speaking. He continued to twirl a third silver needle, his gaze sharp as he looked at the Yinchuang acupoint on Wang Linzhi's chest. He inserted it with a spreading technique to a depth of four fen, and immediately felt Wang Linzhi's chest twitch again.
But Wan Yunting didn't stop. He twirled a fourth silver needle and inserted it into Wang Linzhi's Qimen acupoint with the same spreading technique. Gu Yuanbai, standing nearby, said, "Little Wan, his pulse has stabilized."
"Good."
Wan Yunting nodded, then said to Gu Luotang, "Go find a pair of chopsticks."
"Okay."
Gu Luotang turned and called out to Qi Miaomiao. Deng Hongsheng immediately found a pair of disposable chopsticks. Wan Yunting said, "Open his mouth and use the chopsticks to push his tongue to the roof of his mouth."
Deng Hongsheng nodded, opened Wang Linzhi's mouth, used the chopsticks to hold his tongue, and flipped it over, revealing the underside of his tongue. Then, Wan Yunting, holding a silver needle in his right hand, was about to needle under Wang Linzhi's tongue.
"What kind of acupuncture technique is this? Why needle under the tongue?"
At this moment, everyone present, watching Wan Yunting preparing to needle under Wang Linzhi's tongue, began to point and murmur.
Even Yao Xiangming raised his eyebrows, not knowing what kind of therapeutic acupuncture technique Wan Yunting was employing.
However, Gu Yuanbai, squatting beside Wan Yunting, his old eyes widened, his heart suddenly shaken. He watched Wan Yunting slowly insert the needle held in his right hand into the Haiquan acupoint in the middle of Wang Linzhi's tongue. He couldn't help but murmur, "Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles!"
Although Gu Yuanbai's murmur was very quiet, and those around him couldn't hear him speak, Wan Yunting still glanced at him. Gu Yuanbai's old eyes widened in astonishment, looking at him with disbelief, his heart filled with shock.
