Chapter 434 is over, caught red-handed! Jiang Yan gritted his teeth and, following her instructions, used his mind to "feel" the sore, throbbing airflow.
Miraculously, the originally chaotic "energy" seemed to be truly drawn by his will, and began to flow gently and slowly over his shoulders, through his elbows, and to his wrists...
Just then, something unexpected happened!
Su Tang suddenly increased the speed at which she twisted the silver needles!
"puff!"
The "airflow" that had been relatively gentle just moments before suddenly burst through a "dam" at his wrist, surging violently towards his palm and fingers, like a flood that had just breached its banks!
"ah--"
Jiang Yan finally couldn't hold back and let out a suppressed roar of pain!
His entire right arm felt as if it had been thrown into an ice cave at sub-zero temperatures, or as if it had been repeatedly burned on a fire. The extreme pain of being torn apart by both ice and fire made him feel as if his nerves were about to be ripped apart!
His index finger, which had been trembling slightly, suddenly twitched and twitched violently, like a fish that had come ashore!
"The final step, success or failure hinges on this!" Su Tang's voice was calm and steady, unaffected by his miserable state, and she twisted the silver needles even faster!
Jiang Yan felt his consciousness beginning to blur, and he could only grip the bed sheet tightly, letting the violent force ravage his arms.
I don't know how much time passed, it felt like an eternity.
Just as he was about to faint from the pain, Su Tang's voice rang out again: "All done."
She swiftly and decisively pulled out the silver needle.
Almost the instant the silver needle left the body, the violent, excruciating pain receded like a tide.
Instead, there is an unprecedented, refreshing and comfortable warmth that flows from the back of the neck to the fingertips.
Jiang Yan lay exhausted on the bed, panting heavily.
He tried, slowly, to raise his right hand.
Then, to his own disbelief, he slowly clenched his fist and then slowly opened it.
The index finger that had been troubling him, trembling slightly like a nightmare, was now firmly suspended in mid-air, completely still!
He could even feel a long-lost, powerful sensation returning to his finger!
His...his hand...is healed?!
Jiang Yan suddenly raised his head, and the look in his eyes as he looked at Su Tang had completely changed.
It was no longer a simple plea for help and hope, but rather filled with awe, shock, and a kind of worship that was almost like looking at a god.
"This...this..." He was so excited that he couldn't speak coherently.
“It’s only temporary.” Su Tang put the silver needles back into the wooden box, shattering his illusions. “I’ve only helped you clear the surface blockage, giving your compressed nerves a temporary respite. To cure it completely, you need to have acupuncture for three consecutive days without missing a single day.”
“I understand…” Jiang Yan nodded gratefully, “Thank you… Comrade Su An, thank you so much…”
As he spoke, he sat up in bed, reaching for his shirt.
However, at this moment—
"Squeak—"
The door to the treatment room was gently pushed open from the outside.
A figure in a white coat, carrying an empty lunchbox, appeared at the door.
She was Li Xiaoge, a young sanitation worker who had just returned from the isolation room.
Her face still bore the pallor and inner turmoil of her conversation with Bai Wei. When she saw the scene in the treatment room, she froze instantly.
The room was filled with a strong smell of medicine.
Jiang Yan, the top soldier in the entire battalion and admired by countless female soldiers, was shirtless and frantically sitting up from his hospital bed. His smooth skin was covered with a thin layer of sweat, and his expression was a mix of excitement and...panic.
And Su An, the legendary female soldier known for her superhuman skills and extraordinary composure, was standing by the bed, holding a... slender silver needle? Her expression was as calm as ever, but her eyes seemed somewhat evasive.
A shirtless man.
A woman holding a needle.
A closed treatment room.
Li Xiaoge's mind exploded with a "boom".
Bai Wei's suggestive words echoed wildly in her ears like a curse:
"I saw her... in the grove of trees behind the mountain, having a secret rendezvous with a man!"
"That man was still wearing our training uniform, and he was tall and big..."
"She's the kind of person who knows how to win people over!"
"I suspect...she's an enemy agent who's infiltrated our revolutionary ranks!"
At this moment, the extremely impactful scene before my eyes, together with Bai Wei's accusations, fit together perfectly and seamlessly!
So... so what Bai Wei said... was all true!
The man who had a secret rendezvous with Su An was none other than Squad Leader Jiang Yan!
They...they were so bold, doing this in broad daylight, right in the infirmary...
Li Xiaoge felt as if she had discovered a colossal secret that could overturn the entire world and cause the sky to fall. Her face instantly drained of color, her hand holding the lunchbox trembled uncontrollably, and her lips quivered, but she couldn't utter a single word.
