C61 They Were Just Probing!

"This..."

Witnessing Godly Doctor Xia's adamant assurance, several doctors began to waver.

After all, we're talking about futures and lives here—this is no laughing matter!

"Subdecanal Hsu has arrived!"

Just then, a doctor caught sight of Hsu Qiang and breathed a sigh of relief.

With Hsu Qiang's arrival, whatever happened next would be out of their hands.

"What's the situation?"

Hsu Qiang entered the ward, questioning the doctors.

But his expression turned to one of shock when he caught a glimpse of Lin Chen treating Elder Huang.

"Subdecanal Hsu, this young man lacks a medical license. It's one thing for him to be treating a patient in the hospital unauthorized."

"But he's also attempting to use a risky method that could kill the patient!"

"Now, as a renowned doctor from the capital, I'm commanding you to make him stop immediately!"

Godly Doctor Xia's order came with an undercurrent of urgency.

If Lin Chen actually managed to heal Elder Huang, there would be hell to pay for him!

"Are you referring to Mr. Lin?"

Hsu Qiang's brow furrowed upon hearing Godly Doctor Xia's claim.

He had personally witnessed Lin Chen's miraculous medical skills at the No.1 People's Hospital.

Yet with Godly Doctor Xia's esteemed reputation at stake, Hsu Qiang found himself at a loss.

"Subdecanal Hsu, shortly after Godly Doctor Xia's treatment, the patient began coughing up blood."

"Then Mr. Lin stepped in, using the Nine Yang Needles and the Five Twist Star Needles..."

One of the doctors briefly recounted the recent events to Hsu Qiang.

"Subdecanal Hsu, aren't you going to intervene? Or are you doubting my medical expertise?"

"I'll have you know, Old Mr. Huang is no ordinary man. Should anything befall him, not even you as Vice-Principal could shoulder the consequences!"

"If you halt this now, under my care, Old Mr. Huang could still enjoy several more years of life!"

Godly Doctor Xia's face grew increasingly grim.

He was acutely aware of the potency of the Nine Yang Needles and the Five Twist Star Needles, but also of their lethal drawback.

Once initiated, the practitioner must not pause, not even for an instant; any hesitation could render all efforts futile and endanger the patient's life.

"It's definitely the Nine Yang Needles and the Five Twist Star Needle!"

"Bind him up, now!"

Hsu Qiang's gaze hardened as he observed Lin Chen's adept hands performing the acupuncture. Without a moment's delay, he commanded the nearby doctors.

The Nine Yang Needles are meant to boost the body's immune system, not at all as Godly Doctor Xia had claimed.

And with Lin Chen's application of the Five Twist Star Needle, Hsu Qiang was increasingly convinced that Godly Doctor Xia was the one attempting to harm the patient.

Though he couldn't fathom why the renowned doctor from the capital would do such a thing, on his watch, Hsu Qiang wouldn't tolerate any threat to a patient's safety.

"Tie me up?"

"Hsu Qiang, you wouldn't dare!"

"I am a revered physician from the capital. If you dare to restrain me, you'll tarnish my reputation beyond repair!"

Godly Doctor Xia was seething with anger upon hearing Hsu Qiang's command.

"Godly Doctor Xia, you certainly have the power to destroy my reputation, even strip me of my white coat."

"But what is that compared to the life of a patient?"

Hsu Qiang replied coolly, unwavering in his resolve.

"Fool, utterly foolish!"

As the doctors moved to subdue him, Godly Doctor Xia spat out curses and seized a nearby chair.

With a fierce swing, he hurled it towards Lin Chen.

The attack was so sudden, no one had time to react.

"Lin Chen, watch out!"

Ann Lan cried out in alarm, her face blanching as Lin Chen was nearly struck on the head by Godly Doctor Xia.

"Thud!"

A muffled sound echoed as Lin Chen's foot connected with Godly Doctor Xia's abdomen, sending him crashing into the wall, his body crumpling like a broken doll.

"Old man, the Nine Yang Needles and Five Twist Star Needle may be unstoppable,"

"But did you forget that I can still use my legs?"

Lin Chen continued his needlework uninterrupted, delivering a kick to Godly Doctor Xia and taunting him without missing a beat.

"You!"

Godly Doctor Xia's face, now ashen, contorted with pain from his abdomen. As he struggled to launch another attack on Lin Chen, several middle-aged doctors swiftly pinned him to the floor.

A few minutes later, Lin Chen retracted the silver needles.

Activating his Magical Third Eye, he examined Old Man Huang's internal injuries.

"Huang, let me give you a friendly piece of advice—don't rush things."

"If you do, not only will today's treatment be for naught, but you could end up permanently disabled."

Noticing Old Man Huang beginning to activate his internal cultivation technique, Lin Chen felt compelled to caution him.

At Lin Chen's words, Old Man Huang's face blanched, and he quickly ceased his practice.

Feeling an extraordinary clarity throughout his body, Old Man Huang experienced a level of relief like never before.

"Big Brother, I'll never forget the life-saving grace you've shown me."

"From here on out, whatever you ask of me, I'll face any danger without hesitation!"

Old Man Huang bowed to Lin Chen, his expression earnest.

Although initially skeptical of Lin Chen's miraculous medical abilities, now that his injuries were substantially healed, Old Man Huang had etched this debt of gratitude deep in his heart.

"Let's not talk about braving life and death just yet."

"Regarding that ten million in your possession..."

Before Lin Chen could finish, Old Man Huang's face twisted in alarm, his hands clamping down on his bank card.

"Tsk, all that talk about unwavering loyalty, and now it seems it was all hot air."

"Just a little test and your true colors shine through."

"Alas, the loyalty of old is hard to find these days."

Lin Chen sighed as he observed Old Man Huang's guarded demeanor.

A test?

Old Man Huang's cheeks flushed at the implication.

Yet he responded with dignity, "Big Brother, don't make such remarks."

"I knew you were testing me, and I was just playing along."

"If you don't believe me, I'll hand over my bank card this instant."

As Old Man Huang extended the card, a fleeting shadow passed before his eyes.

Somehow, the bank card had inexplicably transferred to Lin Chen's hands.

Now that was awkward!

What about just a test?

"Huang, you truly are a good soul. It was well worth the effort to treat you."

Lin Chen, beaming, clutched the bank card and expressed his gratitude to Old Man Huang.

A good soul?

I'll show you a good soul!

If possible, Old Man Huang would have liked to give Lin Chen a piece of his mind about his ancestors!

"By the way, Old Huang, shouldn't you take care of that matter with Old Man Xia?"

Witnessing Old Man Huang's teeth-clenched fury, Lin Chen, feeling a twinge of guilt, swiftly steered the conversation elsewhere.

"Old Man Xia?"

"That scoundrel is trying to finish me off; he needs to be taught a harsh lesson!"

"Subdecanal Hsu, would you mind locating an empty room for me? I intend to handle this personally!"

Prompted by Lin Chen, Old Man Huang's memory was instantly jogged regarding the issue.

He had already made up his mind. Unable to take his frustrations out on Lin Chen, he decided to unleash all his pent-up wrath on Godly Doctor Xia instead!
