5 Chapter 5 _1

The elderly man's gaze was fervent.

"Doctor Song!" the doctor saw the old man and quickly showed a respectful expression.

The old man's name was Song Tianming, a honorary professor and physician at the hospital, proficient in traditional Chinese medicine, especially in the art of acupuncture, and was considered second to none in the country.

Even the director had to lower his posture in front of him.

Song Tianming nodded slightly, his eyes never leaving Ye Ming.

The doctor asked curiously, "Doctor Song, what is 'The Immortal Needle'?"

Song Tianming explained, "The Immortal Needle is an acupuncture technique that is said to have miraculous life-reviving effects."

"I've read about it in an ancient medical text that was only half intact. The description there completely matches the technique used by this young man."

"To use this technique, one needs a very thorough understanding of acupuncture because it entails needling the fatal points. A miss by a fraction could mean the difference between life and death."

Song Tianming's words attracted the attention of many.

Zhao Minghai's face changed.

He said eagerly, "Doctor Song, could you have seen it wrong? You also mentioned that this is a long-lost acupuncture technique. How could this kid know it?"

Song Tianming was a meticulous person, he would not speak rashly about things he was unsure of: "I'm not sure, but it looks very similar."

Zhao Minghai breathed a sigh of relief, "Then it must be fake! If it were real, why hasn't there been any reaction until now?"

Before he finished speaking.

Jiang Rou suddenly sat up from the bed.

A mouthful of dirty blood spurted out.

The color of her face visibly improved with rapid speed, turning rosy.

Ye Ming supported her, then slowly laid Jiang Rou back down. Though Jiang Rou was still unconscious, her breathing had stabilized, and she had clearly improved.

Ye Ming, while removing the needles, rubbed on Jiang Rou's fractured ribs.

Accompanied by a series of "crack" sounds.

The broken bones realigned themselves.

"What a formidable bone setting technique!" Doctor Song couldn't help but exclaim.

At that moment.

The onlooking crowd also let out bursts of amazement.

"This person has been cured, right?"

"Since Doctor Song said so, it seems she's cured!"

"It turns out this guy really has the skills!"

"Impressive!"

Suddenly, the public opinion shifted, with only Zhao Minghai's face becoming extremely contorted, his eyes filled with jealousy.

At this time, Ye Ming looked up at Zhao Minghai, "Willing to admit defeat?"

Zhao Minghai's face turned red, and his face became even more twisted as he said coldly, "Fine! I admit you've got some skills, but that doesn't prove my treatment was wrong, does it?"

Ye Ming raised an eyebrow, "So you want to renege?"

Looking at the agreement Ye Ming brought out, Zhao Minghai was beside himself with anger.

He'd really shot himself in the foot this time!

"I won't deny it, but I'm not convinced!" Zhao Minghai said through gritted teeth.

Ye Ming responded with a light smile, "It doesn't matter, just pay up. Whether you're convinced or not, I don't care."

"You!"

Zhao Minghai was so incensed he was on the verge of madness, but with so many people around, he couldn't lose his temper.

His eyes darted around, then he suddenly sneered, "I will pay you, but first you have to apologize to me! After all, you smeared me first, which led to this bet."

"Looking back now, you deliberately provoked me to anger, coaxed me into the bet. I'm just too naive, to have been tricked by you."

"But I can overlook all that, as long as you apologize for doubting my medical skills!"

Ye Ming was simply amused by Zhao Minghai's words.

"Your skin is truly thicker than a city wall!"

"You set up the bet yourself, and now you're blaming me!"

"And that treatment plan of yours; even dogs would shake their heads at it. You dare to talk to me about medical skills?"

Another argument seemed imminent.

Song Tianming stepped forward.

"What treatment plan? Show it to me," he said, looking at Zhao Minghai.

Doctor Liu hurriedly handed over the treatment plan along with the test results.

Song Tianming merely glanced at them, and his face instantly turned ashen.

Zhao Minghai, however, hadn't realized anything was amiss and said with a face full of grievance, "Doctor Song, I admit I may have used a bit too much medication, but it was all to ensure the patient could recover faster and better!"

"I simply cannot stand such questioning of my medical skills!"

Upon hearing this,

Song Tianming couldn't help but swear, "You call that crap medical skills?"

Zhao Minghai was completely dumbfounded by the scolding.

"What do you mean by that, Doctor Song?"

Song Tianming threw the treatment plan into Zhao Minghai's face and scolded angrily, "Look at it yourself. Is the location where you operated correct? And the medication, more than a dozen drugs; five of them have conflicting effects."

"If we were to treat someone according to your method, we would only end up killing them!"

"The fact that he didn't slap you on the spot already shows restraint."

He knew Zhao Minghai well.

They say he's a high-flying graduate from abroad, but in reality, he just spent a few years overseas, then bought a degree and came back, living off his director father's protection.

But what Song Tianming didn't expect was that the man lacked even the most basic medical knowledge.

"To put it seriously, what you're doing is attempted murder! Do you understand?"

"If they were to sue you with this, you'd be looking at a minimum of ten years in jail!"

Being scolded, Zhao Minghai's face turned pale with no courage to retort.

Doctor Liu picked up the treatment plan and the test results; he had only glanced at the treatment plan earlier and hadn't looked closely. Now, upon detailed comparison, he realized that everything Song Tianming said was true.

He was also filled with fear.

If something were to go wrong, their hospital would be sued!

The onlookers, upon understanding the situation, hurled abuse at Zhao Minghai. Some directly clamored to switch hospitals, creating chaos at the scene.

The commotion grew louder and eventually brought the director rushing out.

After understanding the situation,

Director Zhao Kai slapped Zhao Minghai and ordered him to apologize to Su Bei by kowtowing.

After personally presenting one million yuan, Zhao Kai also promised Su Bei, "Please feel at ease to have your father stay in the hospital, all expenses will be waived and covered by the hospital."

At that moment, Song Tianming also came over, smiling at Ye Ming, "Young man, I will be responsible for your mother's subsequent recuperation, don't you worry about it."

Showing respect for Song Tianming, who had spoken up for him, Ye Ming nodded in agreement.

...

Meanwhile,

Returning to the hotel, Xia Ningning, after freshening up, lay on the bed in her pajamas, her perfect figure on full display.

Ding Dong!

Xia Ningning picked up her phone to see her best friend had finally replied.

"It's actually true!"

Xu Lele sent an astonished expression pack, which was even created using Xia Ningning's face.

Seeing her own expression pack, Xia Ningning couldn't help but smile wryly.

But regarding her quirky best friend, she was already used to it.

"What do you plan to do? Shall I just destroy the marriage document for you?" Xia Ningning typed.

"No need!"

Xu Lele replied, "Hai City, right? I've already bought a plane ticket and will arrive tonight!"

"Hmph! I want to see this fiancé of mine in person!"
