Chapter 69: Stunning Acupuncture Skills (3)

All the people in the hall on the first floor of Sanbao Pharmacy looked at Lu Yao with hostility.

Even some of the people who were passing by heard about a student killing a patient. They all squeezed in the hall, stretched out their necks like ducklings, and stared at Lu Yao, Dr. Hu, et al in the middle of the crowd.

Rumors spread everywhere, and some people had their imaginations running wild. Some of the words they said were as inflammatory as the big news agencies' reports.

"Sanbao Pharmacy fished for fame and let a high school student participate in the rescue, killing a man in the end..."

"Because of a wrong decision, Sanbao Pharmacy instantly fell from the altar into the abyss..."

"The acupuncture technique with a history of thousands of years turned into a death curse..."

"..."

"Make way, make way, the family member is here!" Someone shouted at the top of his voice, and the originally noisy hall quieted down a bit.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, and a passage leading to the middle of the crowd was silently made.

This was also an unwritten rule that had been formed among the onlookers for many years. They could watch and cheer, but they must not have anything to do with the incident.

A middle-aged woman in a maid apron hurriedly ran towards the direction of the old man.

When Fang Jinghua saw who this woman was, he was secretly shocked. "Why is it her!"

Lu Yao also saw the appearance of this middle-aged woman. There was a slight change in his calm expression. It was obvious that he also knew this woman.

"Dad, Dad, what happened to you?" After the middle-aged woman squeezed into the crowd, her sight had been fixed on her father who was lying there with silver needles all over his body, not noticing the other people around her.

"Aunt Qiu, don't cry. Although he is unconscious now, he can still vaguely hear your voice. Your heart-wrenching cry won't be good for his body but it will cause a lot of harm." Lu Yao patted her on the shoulder and comforted her.

When the middle-aged woman heard Lu Yao's voice, she noticed that the young man next to her father was actually Lin Jiayi's classmate, Lu Yao, whom she had picked up at the gate of his residential community last time.

Although she didn't know why he was here, after listening to his words, Aunt Qiu refrained from crying and asked with a choked voice, "Xiao Lu, what is going on? Why is my father like this?"

"Aunt Qiu, he just got anxious. This caused his blood pressure to suddenly rise, leading to cerebral hemorrhage. I have already inserted a few needles into his body. He should be able to wake up in a few minutes." Lu Yao smiled and said, "When he wakes up, you can send him to the hospital!"

Although this was only the second time Aunt Qiu had seen Lu Yao, she found his smile magically trustworthy.

That comfortable sense of trust made her originally chaotic state of mind gradually relax.

"Don't worry, Aunt Qiu. With me here, your father will definitely be fine." Fang Jinghua looked at Aunt Qiu, who was sitting beside Lu Yao, and squeezed out a bitter smile.

"President Fang, you are here too. I was really rude. Sorry for making you laugh!" Aunt Qiu saw Fang Jinghua at Lin Yuandao's house and knew that this person was the richest man in Shuangta City. After she heard his explanation, she was even more relieved.

From the moment Aunt Qiu entered the door, Fang Jinghua recognized her and knew this middle-aged woman was the maid of Lin Yuandao, the secretary of the municipal committee.

Although people often said that the dogs at the door of the government leaders had a higher position than ordinary people did, this principle did not apply to people like Fang Jinghua.

The only reason why Fang Jinghua put down his pride and spoke a few more words with the maid of the municipal committee secretary was the shock he felt from what he saw with his own eyes.

There were a few times when Fang Jinghua, the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, the secretary of the politics and law committee, and other friends in Shuangta City's political and business circles went to Lin Yuandao's house. They unexpectedly found that the secretary of the municipal party committee, Lin Yuandao, treated his maid very differently.

He spoke to her in an extremely polite way. Even in front of outsiders, he would first seek Aunt Qiu's opinion on many of the daily trifles.

Aunt Qiu even arranged the holidays for Lin Yuandao and his family, which was supposed to be done by his chief secretary.

Now that he knew that this sick old man was actually Aunt Qiu's father, Fang Jinghua's heart was filled with both grief and joy.

Grief was because that something of this low probability not only happened, but also happened at the critical moment when he was in Sanbao Pharmacy, which made him directly responsible.

Joy was because that Lu Yao, this silly boy, had actually come out to help the old man. Besides, with Dr. Hu's previous promise to take sole responsibilities, Fang Jinghua's heart was a little calmer.

This was the two-sided nature of merchants. To describe it with an old saying, they wanted to be a b***h but also wanted to set up a memorial archway for themselves.

He did not want to take responsibility after the situation deteriorated, and he also wanted to take a credit for it after things turned for the better.

Not far away, the hospital director Wang Guangkun was also very shrewd. Although he did not know Aunt Qiu, he had a panoramic view of Fang Jinghua's actions. Since he was not sure about Aunt Qiu's identity, he did not dare to take action rashly. He just stood by and watched quietly.

Man proposed but God disposed. His good-for-nothing son, Wang Tianyi, did not have his shrewdness. When he saw that the maid seemed to believe Lu Yao's words, he said with indignation and ridicule, "What a bunch of old-fashioned people. Instead of believing in superstitions, you begin to put your faith in students. What a joke! When he dies, you can't blame others."

"You..." When Aunt Qiu heard this, she raised her head and glared at Wang Tianyi.

"What are you looking at? Even if the old man dies today, as his daughter, you have to compensate me for my diamond ring worthy of hundreds of thousands of yuan. Don't even think that death can settle the debt!" Wang Tianyi said arrogantly.

Although Aunt Qiu did not have much education, she had learned a lot after following Lin Yuandao for so many years. From Wang Tianyi's words, she understood that her father's illness was related to him. She was about to stand up and argue with Wang Tianyi, but Fang Jinghua, who was behind her, seized the opportunity and said, "Wang Guangkun, it seems that your son is going to cause trouble in my Sanbao Pharmacy today. I don't care what you say today, but if you don't give me an explanation, I will definitely not let you go."

At this point, Fang Jinghua had completely chosen to stand on Aunt Qiu's side. Actually, if it wasn't for a friend's introduction, Fang Jinghua would not have met Wang Guangkun, an insignificant hospital director at all. Moreover, this Wang Tianyi who was courting death was still boasting without shame. This made Fang Jinghua completely give up the idea of continuing to cooperate with Wang Guangkun.

He was not afraid of god-like opponents, but he was afraid of pig-like teammates. Wang Guangkun was not a pig, but his son was way more stupid than a pig.

Although Wang Guangkun's suggestion could indeed allow Fang Jinghua to earn a considerable sum of dividends without investing a single cent, Fang Jinghua no longer had any intention of cooperating with Wang Guangkun.

To him, earning money was actually the simplest thing, as easy as breathing. But there weren't many opportunities to get close to Shuangta City's top official.

His address to Wang Guangkun shifted from Mr. Wang to Director Wang, and finally to his name.

Wang Guangkun also knew that he was completely at a disadvantage at this time, so he did not speak. Because according to his previous guess, this old man should be not far from death after Lu Yao's shitload of treatment.

So he chose to stand by and watch coldly. If this old man died here, with Fang Jinghua's attitude towards this middle-aged woman before, Lu Yao would definitely have a tough time.

However, something that he had never dreamed of happened next.

"Cough...cough...cough cough..."

Due to Fang Jinghua's outburst, the hall was so quiet that even the sound of a pin falling could be heard. But the silence was interrupted by a weak cough.

Everyone looked towards the person coughing.

The next scene was unforgettable for everyone.

The old man who was deemed to be dying slowly woke up.

Although he was not in good spirits, his condition was very good compared to ordinary patients with this kind of illness.

This also meant that Lu Yao's acupuncture technique had snatched the old man's life back from the lord of hell.

"Dad, how are you? Don't scare me!" Although Aunt Qiu was almost fifty years old, when she saw her father waking up, she was still like a little girl and suddenly pounced on her father to hug him tightly while crying non-stop.

Lu Yao looked at the old man who woke up. He pulled out all the silver needles from his body one by one and put them back into his acupuncture box.

"Dr. Hu, there is nothing for me to do next. You should quickly arrange for someone to send the old man to the hospital for a comprehensive examination and some necessary treatment. My acupuncture can save him for a while, but it can't save him for the rest of his life." After Lu Yao packed his silver needles, he looked at Dr. Hu, who was already in a daze, and said with a smile.

In fact, Lu Yao understated in order to avoid unnecessary trouble. His acupuncture had completely shattered the little knots in the old man's brain. It could even be said that in the next ten years, the old man would not experience today's situation.

This was because Dr. Hu had left a very good impression on Lu Yao from the very beginning.

From him, Lu Yao saw the professional conduct of a doctor. Saving the dead and helping the wounded was always the first priority. He dared to take responsibility and didn't choose to escape or evade responsibilities.

Dr. Hu made a relatively correct judgment of the old man's illness.

Later, Lu Yao came out to stop him. After a brief exchange, Dr. Hu confirmed that Lu Yao's suggestion was more appropriate than his, so he immediately supported Lu Yao's approach unconditionally.

Even when others were still hesitating, he bravely volunteered to shoulder the responsibility.

This made Dr. Hu's image in Lu Yao's mind instantly become much nobler. It was not an exaggeration to say that Dr. Hu, whom he had only met once, now had a high position in his heart like Yang Linchi, who had been his class teacher for many years.

That was why he chose to smile and speak to Dr. Hu in a joking tone.

"Ah...oh..." Dr. Hu was stunned for a moment. After he understood Lu Yao's meaning, he turned to Fang Yi behind him and said, "Jinghua, quickly contact the hospital and send the old man and this lady to the hospital for the most comprehensive examination. We, Sanbao Pharmacy, will bear all the expenses."

"That's right, we, Sanbao Pharmacy, will bear all the expenses." Fang Jinghua was also overjoyed.

After making the arrangements, Lu Yao slowly walked out of the crowd.

When he passed by a thin man standing not far away from Wang Tianyi, he turned back to look at Wang Tianyi and said in a perfect decibel, "Your diamond ring is in this man's pocket. This matter has nothing to do with the old man."

The reason why it was said that the voice was in the perfect decibel was that this decibel allowed the sound to be heard by everyone present.

When people heard Lu Yao, who had already shocked everyone with his stunning technique, they immediately looked towards the thin man.

After receiving instructions of the boss through eye contact, Sanbao Pharmacy's security guards came forward and tightly surrounded the man.

The tense rescue work began in the chaos and ended also in the chaos.

When people wanted to find Lu Yao, no one knew where he went.

However, as a man who could become the richest man in Shuangta City, Fang Jinghua's sight had never left Lu Yao after the old man woke up.

Because he knew that this might be a good business opportunity!

This was Fang Jinghua the merchant!
