What a pity... He had such a fiery temper, used such ruthless methods, and even assaulted a police officer in public... Now, it seems even a miracle can't save him...
He shook his head, his face full of regret and helplessness.
After a brief silence, everyone's attention was once again focused on the tightly closed emergency room door.
"Quick! Go in and check on Captain Sheng!" someone shouted.
"Yes! Let's see how Captain Sheng is doing!"
Yuan Guoyao's heart tightened, and he pushed open the door first, and everyone rushed in immediately!
However, the scene that came into view made everyone's hearts sink to the bottom instantly!
On the hospital bed, Sheng Xu lay quietly, his face as pale as paper, his lips even turning slightly purple.
His clothes were cut open, revealing the wounds on his chest and abdomen. Although no fresh blood was flowing out, the sheets, the floor, and even his bare skin were covered with dried and semi-dried dark red bloodstains!
It looked shocking, but his expression was calm to the point of being "peaceful," with his eyes closed and his chest barely rising and falling!
"Old Sheng!!!" Sheng's wife let out a heart-wrenching cry, almost fainting on the spot.
"Captain Sheng!!!" Several police officers who were close to Sheng Xu also had tears in their eyes, overcome with grief.
"Xu Kuo! I'll fuck your mother! You son of a bitch!!"
The police officer who had been beaten earlier was even more furious, pointing at the horrific scene on the hospital bed and roaring wildly towards the door.
"Look at this! Look at the mess you've made! You've killed someone! So much blood before they died! They didn't even leave a last word! I'll never forgive you!!"
The other officers also began to curse, venting all their resentment on Xu Kuo, who had already left.
The doctors stood aside, their faces extremely embarrassed, especially the attending physician who had previously refuted Xu Kuo, who now wished he could disappear into the ground.
Listening to the officers' curses, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and explain, "Uh... um... comrades, calm down... most of this blood... is from before... before we couldn't stop it effectively... it wasn't... it wasn't from just now..."
Hearing the doctors' words, everyone felt a little embarrassed, realizing they had insulted the wrong person.
Yuan Guoyao frowned; after all, he was a leader and observed more carefully.
He stared at Sheng Xu on the hospital bed, then looked at the bloodstains, and keenly caught a suspicious point, asking in a deep voice.
"It didn't stop bleeding before? Why isn't it flowing now? Logically speaking, with such a severe injury, if the bleeding couldn't be stopped, the person would have already..." He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear.
His question stunned everyone!
Yes! Just now the bleeding was still coming out in a lot of blood, how come there's no blood at all now?
This doesn't make sense! Could it be...?
The crowd looked at each other, their faces filled with surprise and confusion, and all turned their gazes toward the doctors.
The doctors were taken aback by Yuan Guoyao's question. They had been so focused on the chaos and blaming Xu Kuo that they hadn't really noticed this problem!
Reminded at this moment, he quickly stepped forward to examine the situation carefully.
The attending physician carefully lifted the gauze covering the wound and then closely examined Sheng Xu's body. Soon, his pupils suddenly contracted!
He discovered that there were some small, barely noticeable needle marks around Sheng Xu's wound and on several other key acupoints on his body!
Although the silver needles have been removed, the marks are definitely from acupuncture!
"This...this is..." The attending physician gasped, his voice trembling slightly, "Acupuncture...acupuncture marks!" He looked up and exchanged an incredulous look with the other doctors.
Could it be... that kid just now... he really wasn't fooling around... he... he was using acupuncture to stop the bleeding and save someone?!
This speculation shocked several doctors.
"Hmph!" Upon hearing this, the police officer who hated Xu Kuo to the bone immediately snorted coldly, his face full of disdain and mockery.
"So what if he was trying to save someone?! The person still died! What a waste of time and energy! He even delayed our chance to see Captain Sheng one last time! I think he was deliberately stalling for time! That makes his crime even more serious!"
He had barely finished speaking—
"Cough...cough cough..."
A very faint yet incredibly clear cough suddenly came from the hospital bed!
The entire emergency room fell into a deathly silence!
Everyone suddenly felt a chill, their movements stiffened, and their eyes widened as they stared intently at Sheng Xu on the hospital bed!
Everyone's face was filled with horror and disbelief!
A hallucination...?!
Was that Captain Sheng coughing just now?!
The next second! Under the almost suffocating gaze of everyone!
Sheng Xu's pale, paper-white eyelids actually trembled a few times, and then... slowly... opened!
His eyes were still somewhat unfocused, as if he hadn't fully woken up yet. He glanced blankly at the faces of the people surrounding the bed, who looked as if they had seen a ghost.
Then, with extreme difficulty and weakness, the corners of his mouth twitched upwards, as if he wanted to smile, but he was too weak to even speak.
"He's...he's alive!!!"
"Captain Sheng! Captain Sheng is awake!!!"
"My God! Thank God! Captain Sheng isn't dead! He's still alive!!"
"Doctor! Doctor, please take a look!!"
After a brief moment of deathly silence, the emergency room erupted in deafening screams and ecstasy!
All the sadness, anger, and despair that had preceded them were completely ignited and detonated at this moment!
Overjoyed, Sheng's wife burst into tears and rushed to the bedside, sobbing as she called out her husband's name.
The officers patted each other excitedly, babbling incoherently. Yuen Kwok-yiu also breathed a long sigh of relief, his face beaming with unbelievable joy!
The attending physician's mind went blank at that moment. Almost on instinct, he pushed through the crowd that had gathered around him, rushed to the bedside, picked up the stethoscope, and quickly checked Sheng Xu's pupils, pulse, and wound condition.
The more he examined it, the more shocked he became!
"The bleeding... the bleeding has completely stopped!" he murmured, his voice trembling. "The pulse is weak, but steady! The vital signs... are slowly recovering!"
What puzzled him even more was that when he carefully examined the functional responses of Sheng Xu's injured area, he discovered a phenomenon that overturned his medical understanding!
“Strange…so strange…” He frowned, his eyes filled with confusion and shock.
"His injured area has clearly lost its function temporarily, but... but his body seems... seems to have automatically activated other related, originally auxiliary functions, temporarily taking over the main function?! This... this is like... like forcibly opening a temporary new river channel for a blocked river! This... this acupuncture technique... is simply divine!!"
Everyone was shocked and stared incredulously at Sheng Xu on the bed, while at the same time, they were also enveloped in immense joy.
Sheng's wife asked tentatively.
"Doctor, is my husband alright?"
