"Shut up, all of you!" Chen Jie's clear shout cut through the noise. "I'll give you two minutes to consider. If you want me to heal him, fine! After two minutes, I won't make another move!"
"Brat, are you looking for a death wish? You dare tell us to shut up!" Wang Ye snarled.
"You think just because you have a marriage contract with Wang Xiaoyan, you can act all high and mighty with us? In our eyes, you're nothing!"
"Shut your damn bird mouth!"
Wang Xiaoyan looked at her relatives with disappointment. She had thought that by calling Chen Jie home, they would support her.
Unexpectedly, they showed her no respect at all.
She couldn't help but exclaim, "Stop arguing!"
She turned to Qiu Feng and said, "Mom, since Chen Jie says he can heal him, it means there's still a sliver of hope. Whether it works or not, let's give it a try!"
Qiu Feng's face was a mixture of emotions, fluctuating between hope and despair.
Then, with a poker face, she nodded, tacitly agreeing to let Chen Jie try.
No matter what, as long as there was hope, it was worth a shot.
"Chen Jie, go ahead and treat him. Don't worry, even if my father can't be saved, I won't blame you," Wang Xiaoyan told Chen Jie.
Chen Jie nodded and walked towards Wang Fa again.
"Hold on!"
Wang Ye and Qiu Shuyun stepped directly in front of Chen Jie.
Wang Xiaoyan's face darkened. "What are you doing?"
Wang Ye said, "Xiaoyan, Wang Fa is your father, but he's also my elder brother. I can't let a greenhorn like this desecrate my brother's body!"
"He can treat him, but if he pollutes your father's corpse, I won't stand for it!"
Qiu Shuyun chimed in, "Exactly! Who knows how this brat will treat him? I think he's here to put on a show, not to save anyone!"
Chen Jie sneered at the two of them, finding them utterly hypocritical.
Wang Xiaoyan said angrily, "If he can't cure him, and there are any bad consequences, I'll take responsibility! Is that acceptable?"
Qiu Shuyun said mockingly, "How will you take responsibility?"
Wang Xiaoyan, this girl, had actually taken a liking to a country bumpkin, and completely ignored the Young Master Ye she had introduced. Naturally, he wouldn't give Wang Xiaoyan any pleasantries.
Wang Xiaoyan took a deep breath and said, "If Chen Jie can't save my father, I'll resign from my position as CEO of Wang Corporation!"
"Good, you said it! Wait a moment, I need to record it. Say it again, so you don't go back on your word!" Qiu Shuyun shouted, holding up his phone.
Wang Xiaoyan gave him a disgusted look. "If Chen Jie can't save my father, then I'll resign from my position as CEO of the company. Is that okay now?"
"Yes, it is!" Qiu Shuyun said triumphantly.
Wang Xiaoyan took a deep breath and looked at Chen Jie. "You'd better treat my father well, or I'll be ruined!"
"Don't worry, these two pieces of trash can't threaten your position," Chen Jie said with a smile.
"Brat, stop with the nonsense and treat the patient!"
"Yeah, just trash. Let's see how you clean up this mess later!"
Wang Ye and Qiu Shuyun shouted.
"Shut your bird mouths!" Chen Jie said coolly.
"You... Hmph..."
The two of them glared at Chen Jie hatefully, just waiting for him to fail to save the patient so they could teach him a lesson.
Then, Chen Jie directly opened Zhang De's medical kit and took out silver needles.
He circulated his spiritual energy and infused it into the silver needles.
Wang Fa's condition was peculiar. His healing techniques could only mend injuries. They were effective for Jiang Long, but not necessarily for Wang Fa.
Therefore, Chen Jie decided to use traditional treatment methods, augmented with spiritual energy.
Chen Jie held a silver needle between his fingers, about to insert it into Wang Fa's brain. Suddenly, Qiu Shuyun shouted, "Country bumpkin, what are you doing? Who told you to stick needles in my brother-in-law? Are you trying to die?"
"Everyone saw it, right? This brat isn't just putting on a show, he's sticking needles all over the patriarch! He's incapable of saving anyone!"
"Wang Xiaoyan, you can resign now!"
Chen Jie frowned and said, "In my eyes, you're nothing. If you dare to spout more nonsense, I'll cripple you! Think about what happened to the Zhou family before you speak!"
"You're threatening me? You've gone too far! You, a country bumpkin trying to climb the social ladder at our Wang family, dare to disrespect me..."
Qiu Shuyun's body trembled with anger, but Chen Jie's cold gaze met his.
He suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, filled with tension. He couldn't help but recall the fate of the Zhou family.
Many people knew about what this brat had done, and she was no exception.
For a moment, she shut her mouth sheepishly.
Meanwhile, Chen Jie began to treat Wang Fa.
As Chen Jie inserted the first needle into Wang Fa's brain, spiritual energy flowed from his hand into Wang Fa's brain without interruption.
Zhang De watched this scene with a cold smile, eager to see how Chen Jie would prove his medical skills were superior to his own.
Judging by his needle technique, he didn't possess the demeanor of a master of traditional Chinese medicine.
However, as Chen Jie inserted the second needle, Zhang De froze.
Then, two rays of excited light shot from his cloudy eyes.
Because he clearly saw strands of peculiar energy on the silver needles surging into Wang Fa's brain.
And under the effect of that energy, the silver needles began to tremble uncontrollably.
This... this was Xuan Shu (Mysterious Arts)!
Zhang De's jaw was about to drop in shock. How many years had it been since he last witnessed someone healing with Xuan Shu?
Xuan Shu healing, as it was called, was a method of healing and saving lives that was beyond the understanding of ordinary people.
Those who practiced it often possessed some miraculous abilities.
He had only seen an old TCM doctor perform this technique when he was very young. He had spent his entire life searching for such a method of healing.
He never expected to see it in a young man at his age.
Five minutes later, Wang Fa's brain was filled with silver needles.
Chen Jie let out a sigh of relief.
With a wave of his hand, all the needles from Wang Fa's head returned to his hand.
Chen Jie announced, "I'm done."
"Trash, you're done, but he hasn't woken up!"
"That's right! All you did was stick a bunch of needles in him, and there's no reaction! You failed!" httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Qiu Shuyun turned to Wang Xiaoyan and shouted, "Xiaoyan, you promised! Resign from the company right now!"
"This..." Wang Xiaoyan's face turned grim.
"What 'this' or 'that'? I have proof of your promise right here. I also recorded the entire process of Chen Jie's treatment. If you go back on your word, do you think I won't sue you to death?" Qiu Shuyun said triumphantly.
"Cough, cough..."
Just then, a coughing sound came from the sickbed.
Wang Xiaoyan's whole body trembled. "Dad, you, you're awake?"
She rushed to the bedside and saw Wang Fa looking at her weakly, "Daughter, why are you crying?"
"Ah? The Patriarch is awake!"
Wang Ye excitedly surrounded him. "Elder Brother, I told you your fate was not sealed! Even the heavens wouldn't take you!"
Qiu Shuyun also exclaimed excitedly, "It must be my prayers that worked, bringing my brother-in-law back from the gates of hell!"
Everyone crowded forward, completely ignoring Chen Jie, the one who had saved Wang Fa.
Not a single person paid him any attention.
