The old man and Hao Wantong looked at each other with disdain. They said, "These days, swindlers really have some tricks up their sleeves. They're quite professional."
It's like something out of a martial arts drama.
This also reveals that the old man was a quack doctor. Despite being so old and near death, he had never been exposed to advanced medical techniques, and his knowledge was shallow and rudimentary.
Li Changfeng used silver needles to inject true qi into the patient's body.
Each acupoint inserted is carefully considered, as it is a key point for blood circulation.
Acupuncture not only helps to expel toxins, but it can also help patients improve their vitality and increase their life force.
After finishing the acupuncture, Li Changfeng once again circulated his internal energy, his palm hovering five centimeters above his body, traveling along the meridians, and gradually forcing the toxins to his feet.
It's often said that serious men are the most attractive, and that's absolutely true.
Under the white light, Li Changfeng's features were resolute, his face was chiseled, his eyes were like stars, and his thick eyebrows were like sharp swords. He exuded vigor and masculinity.
Mu Xiaodie stared blankly, completely absorbed in the moment. Unconsciously, she fixed her gaze on him, staring intently, completely mesmerized.
Li Changfeng used a great deal of internal energy, which was extremely depleted. His forehead was covered in fine sweat, but his expression remained calm and composed. He proceeded with everything in an orderly and methodical manner.
About ten minutes later, Li Changfeng turned his head and said, "Miss Mu, bring me a basin."
"Oh!" Mu Xiaodie snapped out of her daze and immediately went to do it.
"Swoosh!" A silver needle pierced the big toe of the right foot, and black blood gushed into the basin like a syringe.
The blood was pitch black and emitted a foul, fishy stench.
As the blood gradually turned red, Li Changfeng slowly exhaled and put away the silver needles.
"Phew, it's all over now."
"Mr. Li, is the patient truly out of danger?"
"Um!"
"Thank you," Mu Xiaodie said happily.
"Nonsense." The old man scoffed. "You might be able to fool little girls with some low-level tricks, but I've lived most of my life and seen all sorts of things. Do you think I'd be fooled by you?"
"A bunch of quack treatments, all that charlatanry and sorcery."
"Exactly!" Hao Wantong chimed in, his lips practically curling into a smirk, clearly unconvinced.
"Don't believe me?" Li Changfeng smiled slightly.
"nonsense!"
"Dr. Mu, please turn on the equipment to examine the patient," Li Changfeng instructed.
"Okay, I'll have the nurse come over right away to draw blood and collect urine."
The test takes time, at least half an hour.
During this time, Li Changfeng learned about the patient's suffering. She was a widow whose husband had died several years ago, and she only had a daughter.
Over the years, she has not only not remarried, but has also worked hard and dutifully to serve her parents-in-law and take care of her daughter.
However, some people are born bad, and their in-laws make things difficult for them in all sorts of ways, either beating or scolding them. When women go out to set up stalls to earn a little money to supplement the family income, their in-laws will suspect that they are having an affair, yell at them, and even hit them.
She got a job as a cleaner at a company, but her in-laws went to the company and made a huge scene, throwing a tantrum.
The woman was a frequent visitor to the hospital because her arm was broken during a conflict with her in-laws. She would feel unbearable pain on rainy days and would come to Mu Xiaodie for medicine.
The child lived in gloom all day long; his eyes, expressions, and movements all revealed humility, timidity, and fear...
Today, her in-laws caused her trouble again, and in a fit of anger, the woman drank pesticide.
An elderly person has lost their son; it's already pitiful for a parent to bury their child. Why make things difficult for the daughter-in-law? Why make things even harder for another person already suffering?
The woman didn't choose to leave; she raised her child single-mindedly and it wasn't easy for her. Shouldn't she be treated well? Shouldn't her daughter-in-law be given compensation and support?
After hearing about the woman's plight, Li Changfeng felt melancholy and deeply sympathetic.
“Mr. Li, I have also advised the patient to start a new family with her child. Even if she has no intention of remarrying, she should move out and live away from that home.”
"But she said she had promised her husband in her past life to take good care of the children and serve the elderly. Because of that promise, she was dutiful and never wronged her husband's family in the slightest. This time, she almost lost her life."
"It's really not worth it," Mu Xiaodie sighed.
Li Changfeng breathed a long sigh of relief. "Perhaps she'll come to a better understanding after going through a near-death experience."
"I hope so."
"Doesn't your arm ache from holding the baby while you sleep?" Li Changfeng asked, looking at the sleeping child in Mu Xiaodie's arms.
"It's okay, I can manage." Mu Xiaodie looked at the little girl pitifully.
"How about I hug you for a bit?"
"Need not."
Li Changfeng stood up and put the two chairs together. "Put them on top."
"Okay." Mu Xiaodie said carefully, afraid of waking the child.
"Alas, poor child," Li Changfeng sighed.
“Who says otherwise? Speaking of her suffering, I’m not much better off.” Mu Xiaodie shook her head.
"What's wrong with you? You're doing great! You've become the head of a department at such a young age and have earned the praise and recognition of so many patients. Your future is limitless."
"Mr. Li, you might not believe it, but I'm actually an orphan," Mu Xiaodie revealed her background.
"My parents passed away when I was very young, and I depended on my older brother for survival."
"You have an older brother?" Li Changfeng interrupted.
"Yes, but..."
At this moment, the ward door was pushed open again. "Dr. Mu, the test results are in."
"Let me see." Mu Xiaodie strode over.
"Let this old man take a look first." The shameless old man snatched it away, and when he saw the results on the test report, he was dumbfounded.
I rubbed my eyes in disbelief and looked again.
"Master, quickly throw the test results in that swindler's face, call the police, and send him to the police station," Hao Wantong said viciously.
"Master? What's wrong?" Hao Wantong asked in confusion, leaning closer to look at the test results.
Immediately, the master and apprentice made the same mistake, standing still as if they had been frozen in place, like sand sculptures.
Mu Xiaodie came up to her, took the test results, and beamed with joy.
The result was obviously as expected.
"Mr. Li, the patient is fine now," Mu Xiaodie reported.
Li Changfeng nodded slightly, everything was under control.
"Impossible," the old man muttered absentmindedly. "How could anyone cure the poison of DDT? This test report is fake, so fake it couldn't be more fake."
"Old Qi, are you questioning the best public hospital in Jinghai?" Mu Xiaodie retorted sharply.
"No! I didn't!" The old man realized what he had done and hurriedly denied it, as he couldn't bear the accusation.
"That bet from before..."
"I...we..." the old man stammered, quite embarrassed.
"Kneel down and kowtow three times." Li Changfeng held up three fingers.
“Young man, I’m already quite old. I’m afraid kowtowing to you would shorten your lifespan. How about this, my master and I will treat you to a meal as an apology.”
“No need!” Li Changfeng refused outright. “I absolutely must kowtow.”
