Although Qin Hanchu possessed a physician's license, he was not affiliated with this hospital.
"Uncle Murong, please discuss with the hospital's higher-ups and try to get me in," Qin Hanchu said to Murong Yuntian.
While Murong Yuntian was not from Longcheng, as the chairman of Murong Group, he had considerable connections.
Soon, the hospital's vice dean arrived with several other people.
After exchanging greetings, Murong Yuntian stated his request.
"May I ask which renowned physician you have invited?" the vice dean asked, upon learning that Murong Yuntian wanted someone to help treat his daughter.
Murong Yuntian looked at Qin Hanchu beside him. "It's Physician Qin."
"Chairman Murong, are you implying that our physicians are inferior to this young doctor?"
"Frankly, if our physicians cannot save your daughter, then he entering will be of no use."
The vice dean had expected Murong Yuntian to have invited a famous, established divine doctor, but he was surprised to find such a young man like Qin Hanchu.
As the top medical facility under the Dragon Gate, Longcheng Hospital only hired the most outstanding physicians.
Murong Yuntian allowing a mere youngster to assist in the treatment was, in his opinion, an insult to their doctors.
"Do your physicians know the Guiyuan Needling technique?" Murong Yuntian asked.
Upon hearing "Guiyuan Needling technique," the vice dean looked at Qin Hanchu in shock. "He knows it?"
"Indeed, even Wang Jiuhan of Red Dragon City was once his disciple."
"It's a pity that Divine Doctor Wang met his end in Villain's Valley."
"Please allow the vice dean to let him in. We will bear any responsibility," Murong Yuntian said seriously.
The vice dean looked at Qin Hanchu with astonishment, not expecting the young man before him to command the legendary Guiyuan Needling technique.
Given the life of his daughter was at stake, Murong Yuntian would not lie about this matter.
"Alright, change your clothes. I'll accompany you inside as well." The vice dean, eager to witness the legendary Guiyuan Needling technique, followed Qin Hanchu into the changing room.
After changing into surgical attire, Qin Hanchu entered the operating room accompanied by the vice dean.
Inside, the doctors were busy with the treatment.
Although the Dragon Gate was reclusive overseas, they possessed excellent Western medical technology.
Currently, traditional medicine was assisting, with Western medicine leading the treatment.
On the operating table, Murong Yanran had fallen unconscious.
The doctors were preparing to perform a thoracotomy on Murong Yanran.
"Stop!" As the lead surgeon was about to cut open Murong Yanran's chest, Qin Hanchu hurriedly intervened.
Qin Hanchu's words made the lead surgeon look at him in surprise.
"Who are you?" the lead surgeon asked unpleasantly.
Qin Hanchu ignored him and quickly placed his fingers on Murong Yanran's pulse.
"Let him examine the patient first," the vice dean said.
"Vice Dean, the patient is in critical condition. We've already wasted time waiting for examination results. We must perform the thoracotomy now!" the lead surgeon argued.
"Physician Qin..."
As the vice dean was about to speak, Qin Hanchu produced a pill and placed it into Murong Yanran's mouth.
Immediately after, Qin Hanchu picked up a sterilized filiform needle from the operating room and began acupuncture on Murong Yanran.
At this moment, Murong Yanran's lower body was covered, but her upper body was bare.
Qin Hanchu paid no mind to this, his focus entirely on treating Murong Yanran.
As Qin Hanchu continued his acupuncture, a nurse exclaimed, "Her blood pressure is stabilizing, her heartbeat is recovering!"
"Guiyuan Needling technique!"
The traditional medicine physician standing beside the lead surgeon finally recognized the acupuncture technique Qin Hanchu was performing.
This traditional physician was a martial artist at the initial stage of Grandmaster. While his traditional medical skills were not as potent as Wang Jiuhan's, they were still formidable.
Before preparing for the thoracotomy, this traditional physician had been stabilizing Murong Yanran's condition.
Without this traditional physician, Murong Yanran would not have survived until the examination results were out.
Although the lead surgeon primarily specialized in Western medicine, he had heard of the Guiyuan Needling technique.
He never expected to have the fortune of witnessing it firsthand.
And the Guiyuan Needling technique truly lived up to its reputation as a top acupuncture technique in the realm of traditional medicine; its effects were astonishing.
"Blood extractor!" Qin Hanchu commanded.
Upon hearing this, a nearby nurse quickly handed him a blood extractor.
The blood extractor was a long needle capable of drawing out stagnant blood from the injured.
Qin Hanchu used his internal energy, "Gang Jin," to force the stagnant blood in Murong Yanran's body to gather, and then extracted it using the blood extractor.
As for the damaged meridians and blood vessels, they could only be repaired with medicinal pills.
Qin Hanchu carried such restorative medications with him.
"Is there a Grandmaster-level traditional physician here?" Qin Hanchu suddenly asked.
"I am," the traditional physician replied.
Qin Hanchu instructed, "Follow my instructions and control your internal energy to help Yanran absorb the medicinal effects."
Without these "superfluous individuals," Qin Hanchu would not have had to resort to such measures.
He could not expose his own cultivation level at this moment, which was why he asked the traditional physician for assistance.
Two hours later, Qin Hanchu emerged from the operating room.
Thanks to Qin Hanchu's rescue efforts, Murong Yanran was out of danger.
She only needed a period of recuperation to fully recover.
In reality, even if Qin Hanchu hadn't intervened, Murong Yanran would have survived.
However, undergoing a thoracotomy would have had significant repercussions.
First, it would severely deplete her vital energy, affecting her future in martial arts.
Second, the surgery would leave an unsightly scar.
Even with scar-removal medications, a trace would remain.
"Xiao Ning, how is Yanran?" Murong Yuntian and his wife hurried forward to ask upon seeing Qin Hanchu emerge.
Qin Hanchu replied, "She's out of danger. Now she needs rest. I'll prepare some herbal decoctions for her at my clinic. Remember to send someone trustworthy to pick them up."
"That's wonderful, thank you," Zhao Meiqing said gratefully.
Qin Hanchu added, "Even if I hadn't come, she wouldn't have been in life-threatening danger. I merely saved her from a scar."
"Regardless, we are truly grateful," Zhao Meiqing insisted.
Qin Hanchu steered the conversation away. "Have the culprits been caught?"
"That person fled after committing the act. I've already dispatched people to search for them," Murong Yuntian replied.
"I'm leaving now. Don't tell her I was here." With that, Qin Hanchu turned to leave.
Watching Qin Hanchu depart, Zhao Meiqing remarked, "This young man clearly cares about Yanran, but why does he insist on staying away from her?"
"Although this kid is young, his thoughts are very deep."
"If he says he doesn't want to burden Yanran, he must be planning to do something."
"Let's not interfere in his affairs with Yanran," Murong Yuntian said, suppressing his anger.
"The most important thing now is to catch the culprit and uncover the mastermind."
Zhao Meiqing nodded. "Once Yanran wakes up, I'll return to the Zhao family. I don't believe that even with the Zhao family's resources, we can't find the culprit."
"I'll go find the commander of the Longcheng Imperial Guard and ask for their assistance in the investigation," Murong Yuntian said.
