Chapter 8: Chapter 8: The True Acupuncture Master
As soon as the voice faded, the woman's hand moved followed by her feet, and then she stood up by herself.
The whole process took less than a minute.
"Indeed, a Divine Doctor, too impressive."
"Exactly, just a moment ago she was paralyzed, and now she is as lively as a dragon."
"Of course, that's Divine Doctor Yuan, the National Medical Expert. From now on, if we have any ailments, we should go to Yuan Medical Hall."
The crowd immediately began to sing his praises.
The troublemaking youth even knelt down in front of Yuan Hongming.
"Divine Doctor Yuan, thank you for saving my mother. If not for you, my mother's life would have been ruined."
"It's just a small matter, rise!" Yuan Hongming said with an air of authority, without even glancing at the man.
Wang Ye saw that the timing was ripe, so he took a silver needle in his hand and flipped his wrist, shooting the needle out.
Nobody noticed Wang Ye's action because his movement was exceedingly secretive and swift.
However, Wang Ye didn't shoot the silver needle into the woman's acupuncture point, but rather knocked the needle Yuan Hongming had previously inserted into the woman's body deeper.
Just this slight change immediately caused the woman's circulation to be obstructed, and she lost strength in her body below the neck, collapsing like a lump of mud.
Upon seeing this, Yuan Hongming's pupils shrank, feeling that something was amiss.
He had only pretended to insert the needle randomly, but he hadn't expected such a situation to arise.
The crowd was also stunned, and the whole space became incredibly quiet.
"Master Yuan, what happened here?" Zhou Tianhao's face also changed.
If the woman remained paralyzed like this, then this act would be completely botched.
"It's nothing." Yuan Hongming tried to stay calm, "I'll just remove the needle, and everything will be fine."
As he spoke, Yuan Hongming pulled out all the needles.
But the woman not only failed to recover, but she also started foaming at the mouth and her eyes rolled back.
Yuan Hongming, whose medical skills were not that great to begin with, was immediately at a loss facing such a situation.
He tried pinching her vital points and pressing on her acupoints, but the woman showed no response.
"What's going on? Didn't Divine Doctor Yuan cure her? Why is she like this now?"
"Yes, it's so frightening; it seems like she's about to die."
"Isn't he Divine Doctor Yuan? This shouldn't be happening!"
Amidst the crowd's chatter, an elegant voice came from outside the hall, "What's going on?"
Wang Ye turned around and saw it was his second sister, Chen Li.
Chen Li, dressed in a fitted black suit, her hair tied in a neat ponytail, and wearing gold-framed glasses, had no makeup on but her skin was fair and beautiful.
The air around her was one of mature elegance, giving one a feeling of tranquil years. Her pure eyes conveyed a strong sense of closeness.
"Doctor Chen, you're finally back. We've got a patient who claims she was paralyzed after receiving treatment in our medical hall, and her family brought her here causing trouble!" Xie Yalin saw Chen Li like she was seeing a savior.
After hearing this, Chen Li furrowed her brows and immediately went towards the patient.
After one look, Chen Li immediately knew what was going on.
"Who administered these silver needles?" Chen Li asked.
"It was Divine Doctor Yuan," someone in the crowd responded.
"Divine Doctor? If you can't perform acupuncture, don't pretend to understand," Chen Li glanced at Yuan Hongming, her heart filled with anger. This was no divine doctor; he was more like an assassin.
"You..." Yuan Hongming had no good retort, after all, it was indeed because of him that this had happened.
Chen Li didn't pay much more attention to Yuan Hongming and instead turned to Xie Yalin, saying, "Yalin, prepare the silver needles."
"Okay."
While the silver needles were being prepared, they helped the woman back onto the bed.
At this moment, the woman wasn't foaming at the mouth, but her breathing had become very weak.
However, this was nothing to Chen Li.
Although the woman was in grave danger, as long as her blood vessels were cleared in time, she would be fine.
Once the silver needles were ready, Chen Li swiftly took action, inserting a needle into each of the woman's six critical acupoints.
Anyone who knew about this could tell that Chen Li's technique was dozens of times superior to Yuan Hongming's.
Just two minutes later, the woman's complexion slowly regained its color, and her breathing stabilized.
Chen Li then removed the silver needles, and what happened next was unexpected—the woman slowly opened her eyes and then sat up by herself.
"Oh my, what happened here? Didn't Divine Doctor Yuan cure that person? Instead, it was someone from the Peerless Medical Hall who healed her?"
"Right, what's going on? Is Doctor Chen's medical skill that superior?"
"Exactly, it's so strange! If her medical skill is so superior, then why did the treatment incident happen before?"
The crowd was abuzz with discussion.
"How, how, how is this possible?" Yuan Hongming stood on the side, his complexion ashen.
Originally, he had planned to target the Peerless Medical Hall with Zhou Tianhao. But now, not only had he embarrassed himself, but he had also inadvertently given the Peerless Medical Hall some great publicity. Yuan Hongming couldn't understand how things had turned out this way?
The acupoints he had targeted couldn't possibly have been wrong. This was all too strange. Could it be that the actor they hired had betrayed them? But the foaming mouth and the dying look couldn't possibly be acted out.
Zhou Tianhao was gritting his teeth glaring at Yuan Hongming. Now that the situation had gone this way, their entire plan was ruined.
All the bystanders were clueless, only Wang Ye stood among the crowd, calmly watching everything unfold.
Originally, Wang Ye had prepared to take action himself, but to his surprise, his senior sister Chen Li had returned just in time. However, this also provided a good opportunity for her to showcase her medical expertise.
"All of this is just a misunderstanding. I've always said that Peerless Medical Hall wouldn't make a mistake with the medication. Alright, enough spectating, disperse!" Zhou Tianhao stepped forward and addressed the crowd.
The plan had failed, and if these people continued to stay here, it would only cause more trouble later.
"Disperse, disperse, nothing to see here."
"Let's go, let them sort it out themselves."
Now that Zhou Tianhao had spoken, the crowd didn't dare to linger any longer.
The trouble-making youth glanced at Zhou Tianhao's expression and also prepared to leave with his mother.
"Mom, it's okay now, let's go!"
"Wait, the matter isn't clear yet, don't rush off," Chen Li intervened.
"It's clear, it's clear! It's all a misunderstanding," the two of them insisted, eager to leave.
"Hey, you guys."
Chen Li still wanted to stop them, but Zhou Tianhao stepped in front of her.
"Miss Chen, the issue has been resolved, why bother pursuing it further?" he said.
Chen Li gave him a look, showing her displeasure, then turned her head to the other side, catching sight of Wang Ye.
