Chapter 1: You Can't Save Him? I Can!
China, end of August.
In the luxurious banquet hall, flowers embellish everything.
Beautiful music played gracefully, and men and women in gorgeous clothes wore the most appropriate smiles, raised crystal goblets, and talked about this grand engagement party.
Ruan Qi hid in the corner, occasionally glancing at Xu Xiangyang not far away.
"Mr. Xu, do you have any way to cure my father's illness? He has been suffering from insomnia for half a month. I have consulted many experts, but none of them can cure him." A middle-aged man looked at the young man in front of him with a sad face.
Xu Xiangyang smiled and said to the man, "The old man's illness is indeed a bit tricky, but it's not incurable. Mr. Wang, I'd like to recommend someone to you. She's an expert in this field."
Mr. Wang quickly said, "Go ahead, go ahead."
Xu Xiangyang turned his head and glanced at Ruan Qi who was not far away. He said, "I have a junior sister who has just arrived in the imperial capital. Her medical skills are very good and she will definitely be able to cure the old man's illness."
"This..." Mr. Wang looked embarrassed.
The reason he approached Xu Xiangyang was because he was famous and powerful. But his junior sister...
"Mr. Xu, may I ask, how old is your junior sister?"
"Nineteen." Xu Xiangyang pointed with a smile, "That's the one over there."
President Wang followed his gaze and saw Ruan Qi, his eyes filled with surprise.
This little girl is really pretty.
The slightly raised peach blossom eyes are somewhat enchanting, and the teardrop mole at the corner of the eye adds a bit of mystery. The red tender lips are raised in a smile, and the small face that is the size of a palm is very delicate.
This kind of appearance should be very sexy. But the girl's eyes are so clear and pure that it makes people unable to take their eyes away.
Under normal circumstances, Mr. Wang would definitely appreciate such a beauty.
But now... this is too young. At nineteen, let alone treating illnesses, I'm afraid he can't even tell the difference between cold medicine and fever medicine.
Mr. Wang looked away in disappointment, then gave Xu Xiangyang an awkward smile. "Mr. Xu, I do believe in your junior sister's medical skills. But my old man is stubborn and only recognizes you. He said that if it weren't for you, he wouldn't treat me. So, you see..."
Before he could finish his words, a scream pierced the sky, disturbing the entire banquet hall.
“Ah! Murder!”
On the stage of the banquet hall, a middle-aged man was strangling the bride-to-be by the neck, holding a knife in his other hand.
When he saw the groom-to-be and the crowd rushing over, he quickly put the knife to the bride-to-be's throat.
"Don't move! Or I'll kill her!"
"I won't move. Don't be impulsive." The groom-to-be didn't dare move forward. He stared at the man nervously, afraid that he would hurt his fiancée. "What do you want? Tell me, and I'll give it to you."
The man tightly strangled the bride-to-be by the neck and roared fiercely, "Qin Guozhi has made me bankrupt. I will drag his daughter down with him to hell—!"
Amid the screams of the crowd, he raised the sharp knife and stabbed the bride-to-be in the heart.
The scene was in chaos.
The groom-to-be rushed to the stage like crazy.
But, it's too slow!
The knife in the man's hand reached the bride-to-be's heart in the blink of an eye.
Suddenly, a silver light flashed by.
The man holding the sharp knife screamed in pain.
“Aa ...
The knife that was originally held in the man's right hand had unexpectedly stabbed into his own left arm!
Blood splattered everywhere, spraying on the bride-to-be's snow-white dress.
The bride-to-be was so frightened that she stood there in a daze, not moving an inch.
Just then, a fragrant breeze blew by.
A figure passed through the crowd at an extremely fast speed and appeared on the main stage in the blink of an eye.
The slender legs drew an arc in the air, and the tip of the shoe inlaid with diamonds was like a flash of lightning, kicking the man's shoulder.
It seems like a simple kick, but it contains great power.
The 5'8" tall middle-aged man was sent flying by the kick. The frightened bride-to-be was thrown backwards by the force of his kick.
The main stage was quite high, and the two of them had already reached the edge while trying to pull each other. If the bride-to-be fell, she would either die or suffer broken bones.
Everyone exclaimed anxiously.
The bride-to-be finally realized what was happening, her face pale with fear. She closed her eyes tightly, resigned to her fate and waited for the impending disaster.
Suddenly, a soft hand grasped her wrist.
A powerful force pulled her up from mid-air. The bride-to-be felt someone grab her waist, then pull her upwards and back onto the stage.
"Xiaodi!"
The groom-to-be rushed over, crawling and rolling.
The bride-to-be Qin Qingdi opened her eyes blankly, as if she was dreaming.
She is not dead?
No broken bones?
Didn’t he become disabled?
Qin Qingdi looked stunned, staring straight at Ruan Qi who had saved him.
"you……"
Qin Qingdi had just opened his mouth when he was pulled into the arms of a man howling like a ghost.
"Baby, you scared me to death!" The groom-to-be cried, "How would I live if something happened to you?"
Qin Qingdi was strangled to the point of being unable to breathe. She turned her head with difficulty and looked at Ruan Qi apologetically.
Ruan Qi smiled indifferently and stood up.
The man she kicked away had been subdued by the hotel security, and Qin Qingdi's father was holding the phone to call the police.
Seeing that he had nothing to do, Ruan Qi dusted off his body and prepared to leave.
At this moment, the crowd suddenly became restless.
"Old man!"
"What's wrong with you, old man?"
"Someone come quickly! Mr. Qin has fainted!"
Everyone in the Qin family's expression suddenly changed.
Old Master Qin's heart had always been in trouble. He had just undergone a major surgery earlier this year and narrowly escaped death. The doctor had repeatedly warned him not to get frightened or angry. But Qin Qingdi's abduction had just frightened Old Master Qin, who loved his granddaughter, to the point of a seizure.
"Doctor! Where's Lu Xing? Call him over!"
Qin's family doctor, Lu Xing, rushed over.
He rolled the old man's eyelids, his expression extremely ugly.
"The old man is dying! We don't have enough equipment here. Hurry and take him to the hospital. Maybe... we can see him one last time."
Lu Xing's words were like the sentence of the god of death, making everyone in the Qin family panic.
Qin Qingdi stumbled off the stage, holding the old man's hand, tears streaming down her face.
"He can still be saved. Why are you crying?" A soft girl's voice penetrated the anxious noise and reached Qin Qingdi's ears.
Qin Qingdi raised his head and saw the girl who had just rescued him.
"What do you mean?" Qin Qingdi asked in a hoarse voice.
Ruan Qi didn't say anything. She reached out and felt for Mr. Qin's pulse, then pulled out a silver needle from somewhere.
Lu Xing, who was talking to the Qin family, turned his head and saw this scene.
He was startled and rushed forward, grabbing Ruan Qi's hand.
"What are you doing!" he shouted.
Lu Xing's shout drew the attention of everyone around him. When the Qin family members saw the silver needle in Ruan Qi's hand, their expressions suddenly changed.
"Little girl, you, you..." Qin Qingdi's father took into consideration that Ruan Qi was his daughter's savior, so he deliberately slowed down his tone, "Little girl, this is not a place for you to play around. You..."
"I'm not playing." Ruan Qi interrupted him, "I'm treating his illness. He can still be saved."
Qin's father's words were stuck in his throat, and he looked at Lu Xing inquiringly.
Lu Xing said with a cold expression, "I've been a doctor for over twenty years. Although my medical skills aren't the best, I wouldn't treat a living person as dead. No one knows Mr. Qin's condition better than me. He's already had a major operation and can't stand a second shock. In his current condition, he can't be saved."
As Lu Xing said, although his medical skills were not the best, he was very famous in China. Otherwise, the Qin family would not have paid a large sum of money to hire him as a family doctor.
Lu Xing would definitely not make a mistake in his diagnosis, so this little girl...
Everyone looked at Ruan Qi with suspicion.
Ruan Qi was not panicked. She squeezed the silver needle in her hand and said something that made Lu Xing bleed.
"Just because you can't save her doesn't mean I can't save her either."
As she said that, she pushed Lu Xing's hand away.
"Get out of the way, I want to save someone."
A thin and long silver needle pierced into Mr. Qin's flesh at such a speed that everyone was dazzled.
Qin Qingdi's father reacted quickly and rushed over to stop Ruan Qi.
"Master Qin, please wait a moment."
A pleasant male voice came from outside the crowd.
Xu Xiangyang pushed aside the people blocking his way and walked in quickly. He first glanced at Ruan Qi, who was giving acupuncture with her head down, and after making sure that she was not injured, he smiled politely at Qin's father.
Qin's father knew Xu Xiangyang.
Mr. Xu came from a medical family. Not only were his father and grandparents famous medical experts, but it was also said that his ancestor had been an imperial physician in the palace.
Xu Xiangyang himself was also a renowned medical expert. Although only thirty years old, he was already a master of his craft, surpassing both his parents in accomplishments.
When Father Qin saw Xu Xiangyang, his eyes lit up and his first reaction was - maybe he could save the old man!
"Doctor Xu, can you... help me save my father?"
There was a rumor in the capital that Xu Xiangyang had learned from a very mysterious medical master. That master was an extremely skilled doctor.
Father Qin looked at Xu Xiangyang expectantly.
Xu Xiangyang shook his head slowly, "Sorry, I can't save him."
Qin's father's heart suddenly fell from a height and shattered.
"But my junior sister can." Xu Xiangyang said again.
Father Qin was troubled by his heavy breathing and asked anxiously, "Excuse me, your junior sister..."
"She's right there." Xu Xiangyang nodded in Ruan Qi's direction, "She's my junior sister, Ruan Qi."
Father Qin was a little stunned.
How did that young girl become Xu Xiangyang's junior sister in the blink of an eye?
"Doctor Xu, this...she..."
"Please rest assured, Patriarch Qin." Xu Xiangyang smiled gently, "My junior sister said she can save him, so she can definitely save him."
