Before Lin Hui could even celebrate for three seconds, Guan Tao's excited shout rang out, and her expression changed drastically, her heart pounding.
Everyone looked closely and, sure enough, saw that Grandpa Chen was moving.
Chu Xun's face showed surprise, but even more so admiration.
Lin Hui rushed over and saw Grandpa Chen come back to life, her face filled with disbelief. "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
The old man is clearly dead, how could he possibly be saved?
Chen Xinjian and Chen Meifang rushed excitedly to the bedside, "Dad!"
"Don't touch him!" Li Xiyue reminded the two of them, "especially the silver needles on his body, no one is allowed to touch them."
The brother and sister nodded repeatedly; at that moment, Li Xiyue's words were like a royal decree to them.
"Ah Jian, Xiao Fang..." Grandpa Chen slowly began to speak.
The brother and sister cried their hearts out, "Dad, we're here."
Li Xiyue continued to administer the acupuncture.
With your right leg bent at 90 degrees, locate the acupoint by making a fist and pressing the fist on the high bone, facing your back. Extend your thumb and press down on the Huantiao acupoint, three inches below it.
Next, go to Zusanli (ST36) on the right leg.
The last needle was applied to the Hegu acupoint.
She grasped the old man's right hand, at the base of his index finger, at one joint, and made a fist. There were four joints on the back of his hand. Following the line from the index finger to the midpoint of the palmar crease, she inserted the needle one inch deep.
These nine needles are called the Nine Needles of Resurrection, which have the effect of bringing the dead back to life. If a person's chest is still warm after death, applying the Nine Needles of Resurrection can snatch the person back from the clutches of Yama, the King of Hell.
After inserting the needles, Li Xiyue followed the proper sequence of needle removal and manipulation while asking Grandpa Chen, "Grandpa Chen, what exactly happened?"
"Someone wants to kill me!" Grandpa Chen exclaimed excitedly.
What?
Everyone was astonished. Had Grandpa Chen been murdered?
Guan Tao's expression changed drastically, and he couldn't help but look at Lin Hui. It was her!
Li Xiyue calmed him down, "Grandpa Chen, don't get agitated. Tell us, who wants to kill you?"
"Yes, yes..." Grandpa Chen looked around in the crowd and pointed to someone, "It's Dr. Lin!"
Everyone turned to look at Lin Hui, whose face was deathly pale. Now that she had been publicly identified, she was so frightened that she backed away and ran away.
With Chu Xun there, how could he let her get away? He was already waiting at the door, his burly figure blocking Lin Hui's way, his eyes sharp, "Where are you going?"
Lin Hui was forced to take a step back by his aura, but the next moment, she gritted her teeth, bypassed him, and continued running out.
Chu Xun stretched out his long arm, grabbed Lin Hui by the back of her collar, dragged her back, and threw her heavily to the ground.
Guan Tao stepped forward, grabbed Lin Hui's arm, and asked in utter bewilderment, "Why did you do this?"
Although he knew Lin Hui was arrogant and domineering, he never thought she would kill someone!
"I...I..." Lin Hui didn't dare to look at Guan Tao, and kept her head down, unable to say a word for a long time.
Guan Tao roared, "Speak!"
Lin Hui clenched her fist, raised her head, her eyes filled with resentment and venom. She pointed at Li Xiyue, "I don't like her. I don't want her to stay here. I don't want her to take the teacher away from me!"
She thought she had done everything perfectly, that Li Xiyue was bound to take the blame, that Li Xiyue would be ruined and disgraced, and that even if she didn't die, she would spend her whole life in prison.
But she never expected that Li Xiyue could actually bring the dead back to life.
Bringing the dead back to life—how many medical practitioners in the world possess such skill?
She miscalculated; she hadn't expected Li Xiyue to be so capable. This time, she not only failed to harm Li Xiyue but also ruined herself. She was extremely resentful!
