Zhou Wan Nong had heard of Chen Xiao's Sheng Sheng Zao Hua Zhen, a needle technique for prolonging life, but this was the first time she had witnessed it firsthand.
When she saw Chen Xiao pick up a silver needle and thrust it towards a fatal acupoint on Wen Xin Yi's head, and Wen Xin Yi was already on the verge of death, Zhou Wan Nong's face turned pale with shock. She instinctively covered her mouth to stifle a cry, her eyes wide with horror as if she had already seen Wen Xin Yi die under Chen Xiao's needle.
"Chen Xiao, are you crazy? The patient is already at death's door, how dare you acupuncture her Baihui point?"
"Chen, could you be the hit-and-run driver who injured Wen Xin Yi? Otherwise, why would you try to silence her?"
"Wen Xin Yi is the beloved granddaughter of Wu Jian Zhong, the president of City First Hospital. It's one thing if you don't care about your own life by killing her, but we still want to live, damn it!"
At the same time, other doctors and nurses present, including Hu Yun and Yang Long Jian, were also startled by Chen Xiao's actions. They scrambled to shout curses and flee.
In the blink of an eye, only Chen Xiao and Zhou Wan Nong remained standing in the large resuscitation room.
However, to Zhou Wan Nong's disbelief, as soon as Hu Yun and the others fled, the electrocardiograph, which had been emitting a piercing "drip, drip, drip" alarm, suddenly stopped its beeping as if it had malfunctioned. The vital signs, which had been almost a straight line, instantly surged to normal levels.
In other words, although Wen Xin Yi's severe injuries from the car accident, including multiple bone fractures, a fatal concussion, and severe internal bleeding, had not yet been treated, her life was temporarily saved.
Zhou Wan Nong was utterly awestruck and gasped, "Is this the Sheng Sheng Zao Hua Zhen, lost for thousands of years in the world of traditional Chinese medicine? Its life-prolonging effect is simply comparable to the mythical arts of immortality!"
At this moment, Chen Xiao was solely focused on treating the patient. As soon as Sheng Sheng Zao Hua Zhen pulled Wen Xin Yi back from the brink of death, he impatiently used scissors to cut away her bloody clothes. Then, with both hands, he continued to acupuncture Wen Xin Yi's head with the Jiu Gong Ba Gua Chang Chun Zhen to remove the blood clot in her brain, while with his other hand, he used the Wu Gou Zheng Gu Shu technique to massage and manipulate the fractured bones throughout her body, setting the bones and relieving pain.
For a moment, the profound Wu Zi Jin Fang in Chen Xiao's mind operated even more powerfully.
Recalling that Chen Xiao had treated Chen Qing with a similar method not long ago, Zhou Wan Nong was astonished again. "Chen Xiao, are you planning to treat Wen Xin Yi with acupuncture for blood circulation and bone setting through massage?"
Although Zhou Wan Nong was the first associate chief physician in the emergency department of the Central Hospital to be specially appointed, and her medical skills were superb, in front of Chen Xiao, she felt like a three-year-old child who knew nothing about medicine.
Chen Xiao was currently multitasking, controlling the Wu Zi Jin Fang, performing acupuncture, and massaging simultaneously. He couldn't spare any attention for Zhou Wan Nong. Only after completing a set of Jiu Gong Ba Gua Chang Chun Zhen on Wen Xin Yi's head did he manage to catch his breath and say to Zhou Wan Nong, "Deputy Director Zhou, could you wipe the sweat off my face?"
As he spoke, he regained his full concentration and began to acupuncture Wen Xin Yi's chest, muttering to himself, "According to my diagnosis, the patient's most critical injury is the severe heart bleeding. If I cannot stop the bleeding and dissipate the blood stasis with the Jiu Gong Ba Gua Chang Chun Zhen in time, her life-prolonging effect from Sheng Sheng Zao Hua Zhen will wear off tomorrow at this time, and she will immediately die of sudden cardiac arrest."
"Ah?"
Zhou Wan Nong was stunned for a moment, then quickly took out her personal fragrant tissue and nervously wiped Chen Xiao's sweat. She nodded in agreement, "Although cardiac surgery is not my specialty, I have seen the examination report personally done by Xiang Long Fei, so I strongly agree with your assessment."
She paused, then eagerly added, "However, after your acupuncture and massage, will the patient's condition improve quickly? Just like when you saved your mother with a similar method not long ago."
"Of course!"
Chen Xiao had already massaged all the fractured parts of Wen Xin Yi's body. Now, he only needed to control the Wu Zi Jin Fang and continue the acupuncture. He was no longer as flustered as before and said confidently, "If we were to re-diagnose the patient's injuries, the examination report would definitely show that her condition is at least ten times less severe than your previous diagnosis!"
"Really?"
Zhou Wan Nong was greatly shocked, her gaze towards Chen Xiao becoming even more focused. As her gentle, water-like eyes fell on Chen Xiao's bloody arm, she suddenly asked nervously, "Right, what happened to your injury? Did you get into a fight again?"
Chen Xiao's abrasions were very obvious, and Zhou Wan Nong had noticed them immediately. However, she had been too worried about whether Chen Xiao could save Wen Xin Yi's life to ask about it earlier.
Chen Xiao's face darkened as he thought about it. While continuing to acupuncture Wen Xin Yi's chest, he grumbled, "As soon as I arrived downstairs on my bike, some idiot hit me with his car. If you hadn't called me in such a hurry, I probably would have gotten into a fight."
Coincidentally, at that very moment, a middle-aged woman with her legs, arms, and even neck wrapped in medical bandages rushed into the resuscitation room. This woman was none other than Kang Jia Li, who had hit Chen Xiao with her luxury car.
Even more coincidentally, she was Wen Xin Yi's mother. As soon as she entered, she impatiently asked, "Deputy Director Zhou, how is my Xin Yi..."
Before she could finish speaking, Kang Jia Li suddenly froze, because she also recognized Chen Xiao.
What she found most unacceptable was that Wen Xin Yi was lying naked on the operating table, and Chen Xiao was acupuncture her chest with one hand and pressing her thigh with the other.
"Bastard! You smashed my car and injured me, but you dare to barge into the resuscitation room and sexually assault my daughter? I... I'll fight you!"
Saying this, she lunged at Chen Xiao like a tigress.
Zhou Wan Nong was greatly alarmed and quickly reached out to stop her, nervously explaining, "Ms. Kang, please... please calm down first. Chen Xiao is also a doctor at our Central Hospital who is involved in your daughter's rescue. And... and he's not molesting your daughter, but saving her life with traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture and massage..."
"Slap!"
Before Zhou Wan Nong could finish speaking, Kang Jia Li had already slapped her fiercely across the face. She leaped and roared, "My Xin Yi's injuries are extremely severe. She couldn't even make it to City First Hospital for treatment, so she's being resuscitated at your Central Hospital temporarily. Not only are you not fulfilling your duties, but you're letting an unknown young man play doctor with acupuncture and massage? Don't you know that traditional Chinese medicine is all a scam? Moreover, I saw with my own eyes that my Xin Yi is completely naked, and that scoundrel is still touching her. Isn't this molestation?"
As she spoke, she reached out again to slap Zhou Wan Nong.
