"How can you be a father?!"

"Your child has a late-stage brain tumor, and you only bring her in now—as if two more days and she'd be gone!"

The doctor in the white coat, his face filled with anger, pointed at Su Yi's nose and chastised him mercilessly.

As a doctor, he despised irresponsible fathers most!

"Late-stage?!"

Su Yi's body trembled as if struck by lightning.

This morning, when his daughter complained of discomfort in her eyes, saying she couldn't see, he rushed her to the hospital without delay.

He had been as quick as possible!

How could it be late-stage?!

The doctor, irritated, thrust a diagnosis report at him: "See for yourself!"

Su Yi hastily took it, unfolding the diagnosis report with tremendous anxiety.

Name: Su Xiaoxiao.

Sex: Female.

Age: 4 years old.

Diagnosis: Late-stage brain tumor, compressing the central nervous system, has led to slight blindness.

Recommendation: Surgery within three days, or else it will be life-threatening.

Boom!

A bolt from the blue.

"How could this be, how could this be..."

Su Yi trembled all over, tears streaming down his face.

The doctor, both furious and indignant, scolded: "What are you standing there for? Go pay the fees right now, and let's start the surgery!"

Pay the fees...

Su Yi snapped back to reality, his expression bitter as he patted his pockets.

Aside from an old cell phone, he didn't have a single penny.

Seeing his plight, the doctor's anger grew yet he also felt more angered: "No money? Then why didn't you bring her in before her condition worsened!"

Though he spoke sharply, the doctor's conscience prevailed.

He gritted his teeth: "Forget it, I'll advance the medical and hospitalization expenses for you; let's stabilize her condition first."

"The surgery will cost around three hundred thousand, you better hurry up and find a way to get the money."

"Remember, three days—if it's more than three days, it's all over!"

In an era where interests reign supreme and capital rules, such a doctor was truly rare.

With tears covering his face, Su Yi was immensely grateful and kept bowing deeply.

"I really can't thank you enough; you truly have the heart of a Bodhisattva."

"Stop wasting time, hurry up, don't delay a minute!"

The doctor urged sternly.

Wiping away tears, Su Yi turned and strode out of the hospital.

"Xiao Xiao, don't worry, Daddy will definitely save you," Su Yi told himself silently.

But thinking of the three hundred thousand needed for the surgery, a strong sense of powerlessness surged inside him.

He once had a very happy family.

They were in business, mainly in the pharmaceutical field, even having their own medical laboratory.

But due to an accident, the lab exploded, leaving no one in his family alive except for himself, who wasn't there at the time.

The family business was also devoured clean by the other shareholders at the first opportunity.

Fortunately, the Su and the Lin families were longtime friends, and both patriarchs were comrade-at-arms with life-saving bonds between them.

A long time ago, the two old men had arranged a marriage between Su Yi and Lin Xinran.

After the explosion, Old Master Lin, valuing loyalty and righteousness, took Su Yi into the Lin family and personally arranged the marriage for him.

Since then, Su Yi had become the son-in-law of the Lin family.

At first, the Lin family had their reservations about Su Yi, but due to the senior's authority, they dared not be too excessive.

Since the old man died three years ago, their attitude towards Su Yi changed drastically.

It was also at that time that Su Yi's wife, Lin Xinran, fell ill with a strange disease, becoming virtually a vegetative person.

She could open and close her eyes, eat and drink, but she couldn't move a single finger, nor could she utter a single word.

At that time, their daughter, Su Xiaoxiao, had just turned one year old.

Good fortunes don't come in pairs, but misfortunes never come singly.

Seizing the opportunity, the Lin family began asserting themselves, expelling the mother and daughter from the clan on the pretext of the family being useless.

Even Lin Xinran's parents chose to break off relations with them to enjoy the wealth and status within the clan.

It could be said that Su Yi was now truly alone.

During these three years, he bore the burden of the family alone and had to buy medicine for his wife, making it impossible to save any money.

Three hundred thousand... It was enough to crush an adult!

"What should I do..."

Su Yi looked around helplessly, alone in the world.

It was impossible to ask the Lin family.

Not due to pride.

But because, in order to buy medicine for his wife, Su Yi had knelt in front of the Lin family's door multiple times, only to be turned away with a slammed door every single time.

He could not borrow any money!

"Maybe... I can look for Chen Mingjun!"

There was a hint of resolve in Su Yi's eyes.

Chen Mingjun was one of the former shareholders of the Su family business.

He was also the only wealthy person Su Yi knew where to find.

However, Su Yi's father had always had conflicts with him while at the company.

He might make things difficult!

But he couldn't care about that anymore; as long as he could save his daughter, he would withstand any storm!

…

Mountain and Water Villas.

This is where Chen Mingjun lived.

When Su Yi arrived, he happened to catch Chen Mingjun's Maybach returning from outside.

"Isn't that Young Master Su? From a distance, I almost mistook you for someone else. Wasn't your family pretty high and mighty before? What brings you to my residence today?"

As the car window rolled down, Chen Mingjun smirked.

Su Yi had no choice but to appear very humble, bowing as he said, "Uncle Chen, I've come today to ask for your help."

"Ask me for help?" Chen Mingjun seemed amused, his teasing smile deepening: "Well, I must hear what it is about; it's not every day that Young Master Su asks a favor."

"My daughter is gravely ill; I need three hundred thousand for her surgery. I hope Uncle Chen can help."

Su Yi had a pleasing look and hopeful eyes.

"Haha... You just want to borrow money? The thing I lack the least is money!"

"I made the most out of the Su family's bankruptcy!"

Chen Mingjun laughed loudly as he stepped out of the car.

Callous mockery!

The classic example of reveling in the misfortune of others!

Su Yi clenched his fists, and it took a good while before he managed to suppress the anger in his heart, struggling to squeeze out a smile.

"Considering the many years we've known each other, I hope Uncle Chen can lend a hand."

"No problem, these are trifles."

Chen Mingjun waved his hand generously, and then his tone shifted.

He said with a smile, "It's just that... my dear nephew, your current way of asking for help isn't quite right; it makes it very difficult for me."

Way?!

Su Yi clenched his teeth.

That meant he had to kneel!

Alright, for his daughter, kneel!

Bang!

Su Yi knelt heavily on the ground.

He took a deep breath, and once again a servile smile appeared on his face as he spit out the flattering words that made him feel nauseous.

"Uncle Chen, it's my incompetence that has made you witness such a farce."

"That's more or less like it."

Chen Mingjun scoffed and, looking down from on high, lifted his foot and placed it directly on Su Yi's head.

Bang!

Su Yi collapsed heavily onto the ground, his mouth full of dust.

Chen Mingjun looked down from above: "My dear nephew, you look like a dog right now."

"I... I am a dog, begging Uncle Chen for help... woof woof woof..."

Su Yi's teeth gnashed loudly.

After saying that, he closed his eyes tightly, tears of humiliation flowed down, and his face buried deeply into the ground.

Humiliation, unwillingness!

But he had to endure it and still entertain the other party!

"Hahaha..." Chen Mingjun laughed arrogantly: "Your father is an old dog, you are a pup, so isn't your wife a bitch?"

Su Yi was trembling with anger, yet powerless to do anything.

Chen Mingjun smacked his lips: "Tsk, speaking of Lin Xinran, that bitch... she was once famed for her beauty in Yancheng."

"Anyway, since she can't move, let Uncle Chen train her well someday while you watch."

"Who knows, maybe she might suddenly be able to move once she gets excited."

Su Yi's face turned ashen, veins bulging on his forehead, and his breathing grew rapid.

"Oh, is this little dog getting angry?"

Chen Mingjun mocked him, pressing his shoe sole cruelly against Su Yi's head and spitting a wad of yellow phlegm on the ground.

"Ptui! I want to see what kind of integrity this dog has, and whether you still want to save your daughter!"

Daughter...

Su Yi's body shook.

Regardless of the extreme humiliation and unwillingness, he had no choice but to swallow his teeth into his stomach.

Tears streaming down his face, he said, "The... the dog dares not be angry."

"Hahaha... What an obedient dog!" Chen Mingjun laughed triumphantly, pointing to the ground: "However, a dog can even eat shit, see that spit? Lick it clean for me!"

"Alright, I'll eat it! I hope that after eating, Uncle Chen will agree to lend me the money!"

Su Yi gritted his teeth, holding back the nausea, and began crawling forward.

Chen Mingjun watched him with a mocking gaze: "After that explosion, I was a little regretful that you didn't die, but now it seems that keeping you as a dog isn't so bad after all."

Su Yi's movements stiffened suddenly, his face uncontrollably twitching.

He looked up fiercely, fixing his stare on Chen Mingjun: "That explosion wasn't an accident, you were behind it?!"

"You can't just say anything!" Chen Mingjun put on a stern face: "You know, medical experiments involve chemicals. My people just happened to purchase a small item mistakenly, who knew such a tragedy would happen. I'm very saddened by this as well!"

This sentence was essentially an admission of guilt!

He was the murderer who annihilated Su Yi's entire family!

In an instant, Su Yi's eyes filled with bloodlust, red as a maddened beast, and a low growl emanated from his throat.

"Motherfucker! Motherfucker!! I'll kill you!!!"

The towering hatred from the massacre almost devoured him.

He roared and struggled to rise from the ground, raising his fist and smashing it down fiercely.

Chen Mingjun sidestepped, saying with a smile, "It seems you don't want to save your daughter, huh."

"Kill you, kill you…" Su Yi was practically insane, continuously roaring, with bloodshot eyes, and only one thought in his brain.

But before he could act again, a burly and towering man stepped out of the Maybach and stood in front of Chen Mingjun.

Chen Mingjun smiled at Su Yi, "I kindly lent you money, but you repay kindness with enmity. Well, then I can only defend myself."

After speaking, he patted the burly man's shoulder, "Don't kill him, just a broken leg and some internal injuries will do."

"I still want to wait for him to calm down and beg me like a dog, desperately wagging his tail, asking me to save his daughter."

The burly man nodded expressionlessly.

Chen Mingjun got into the Maybach, carelessly throwing a baseball bat out of it.

"Don't take too long."

With those words, he drove the Maybach into the villa's garage.

"Don't you fucking leave!!"

Su Yi was enraged, eyes red, chasing after him.

The burly man had already picked up the baseball bat, a cold light in his eyes, swirling the bat heavily and sweeping it across.

It smashed down hard on Su Yi's knees!

Bang!

Crack!

"Ahhh!!!"

Su Yi collapsed entirely, letting out a piercing scream.

His kneecap was completely shattered!

The burly man coldly approached, raising the baseball bat and fiercely thrusting it downwards into Su Yi's chest.

Spurt!

A mouthful of blood sprayed out.

Su Yi's face turned pale in an instant, his chest caving in deeply.

The burly man grabbed his hair, dragged him brutally to the roadside trash can nearby, and stuffed him in roughly.

After completing this, he dusted off his hands and walked away directly.

Under the severe pain, Su Yi had already passed out.

Blood was still gushing from his mouth.

Soaking through his clothes.

Staining a dragon-shaped jade pendant.

This was a Su family heirloom jade pendant, also the only relic left to Su Yi by his father.

Hum…

The jade pendant emitted a faint, gentle glow, completely enveloping Su Yi within it.

Vaguely, as if there were ethereal celestial sounds coming from the horizon.

"I am the true martial medical ancestor of the Su family."

"Any descendant of the Su family who inherits my legacy, remember that a physician should, at heart, be benevolent."

...

Su Yi had a dream.

In the dream, there was an elder with the appearance of a young boy and white hair, exuding an aura of immortal charm, performing medical treatments.

From observation, listening, and questioning to applying acupuncture and practicing alchemy…

All sorts of mystical abilities, seemingly like magical powers, manifested in the hands of the elder.

While performing these acts, he also explained them.

Su Yi listened and learned from the perspective of a bystander.

The more the elder explained, the more ethereal his body became, until at last, it was nearly transparent.

Just as his figure was about to completely vanish.

The elder suddenly turned around, revealing a smile, and pointed at Su Yi's forehead.

Hum…

A surge of energy flooded his entire body, and Su Yi felt a warm sensation all over.

Countless pieces of information rushed into his mind.

Gradually…

Su Yi woke up, his consciousness returning to reality in an instant.

"Xiao Xiao!"

He jolted, his heart tied to his daughter, he cried out loud, instinctively climbing out from the trash can.

Just as he stood on the ground, he was stunned!

"My legs…"

Su Yi's eyes widened in disbelief.

The events of the dream replayed over and over in his mind.

Could it be, it was all real?

The True Martial Medical Ancestor of the Su family's legacy?!

Gulp!

Su Yi swallowed hard.

He tried to feel his body.

The injuries he had sustained yesterday were all healed!

And his physical condition had improved overall!

This was truly a miracle!

Su Yi was overwhelmingly excited.

"This is great, with this medical knowledge, I can save my daughter without surgery!"

"And there's... Chen Mingjun!"

Remembering the events of the previous night, the extinction of his family, a chill flashed in Su Yi's eyes.

A blood debt must be paid in blood!

But the immediate priority was to get to the hospital to save his daughter!

Thinking of his daughter's illness, the cure naturally came to mind.

He couldn't afford to delay and immediately set out for the hospital.

On the way, he also bought a set of silver needles.

Upon arriving at the hospital, he headed straight to his daughter's ward.

As he reached the corridor, he saw a group of doctors gathered at the door, discussing something with animated concern.

"It's such a pity, she's so young."

"Yes, at such a tender age, she should be enjoying a happy childhood… Sigh!"

Boom!

It was like a bolt from the blue.

Su Yi felt as if he had been struck by lightning, completely distraught.

Could it be… no, impossible!

If that were true, what use was his medical knowledge?!

"Make way, all of you make way!!"

Su Yi rushed forward like a madman, forcibly pushing the doctors aside at the door.

No sooner had he entered than he bumped into the doctor from yesterday.

Su Yi grabbed the doctor's wrist and roared, "You said my daughter could hold on for three days, what's the situation now?!"

"I… did my best."

The doctor's face was full of guilt, and his voice was low.

In the hospital, these three words were almost equivalent to announcing someone's death.

Su Yi completely broke down, shaking the doctor's shoulders nonstop, tears streaming down his face. "What do you mean by 'did my best'?!"

"What does 'did my best' mean?!!"

"You clearly said three days, how come it's not even one day and she's gone?!!"

The doctor didn't speak, but tears were also present in his eyes.

The other doctors all tried to explain and console him.

"This family member, Doctor Song truly did everything he could, he even took out his own retirement funds to try to pay for your daughter's surgery, but it's too late."

"Yes, he said he'd promised you to watch over your daughter for three days, but he failed to do so. He cried all night long yesterday."

"We called you, but no one answered."

Su Yi's face was ash-gray, and he leaned against the wall, his body lacking the strength to stand.

At that moment, it was as if all his vitality had been sapped away.

Doctor Song's eyes were brimming with tears, "Don't try to comfort me, I know Mr. Su feels uneasy... It's all my fault..."

Slap!

As he spoke, he fiercely slapped his own face.

Just then, an angry reprimand came from down the corridor, "What are you all doing crowding around here?!"

"Don't you know that the dean and Professor Li are coming soon?"

"I warn you, anyone who dares to cause trouble at this critical moment, I will not be lenient!"

A forty-something-year-old middle-aged man with a gloomy expression on his face walked over.

The badge on his chest read Director of Neurology.

Seeing him approach, the doctors, displaying frightened expressions, turned and left one after another.

Doctor Song did not leave.

He looked at Su Yi, full of guilt, "Mr. Su, if you feel upset, you can beat me to vent your anger. That way, I might feel a bit better too."

Su Yi, looking as if his soul had departed his body, shook his head.

The director said with displeasure, "Song Renxin, did you not hear what I said? Hurry back to your position!"

The doctor called Song Renxin replied in a deep voice, "Director Liu, the little girl in this ward is also my patient."

Director Liu frowned and scolded, "Nonsense! The little girl's condition has deteriorated to the extreme, her entire central nervous system is paralyzed!"

"She is hanging on by a single breath right now, even surgery won't save her!"

"Your insistence on staying beside a dying person is irresponsible to the other patients!"

Song Renxin was unable to refute.

But Su Yi trembled all over, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

His daughter was still clinging to a breath!

That was enough!

With the medical knowledge in his mind, he could definitely save her!

Without any hesitation, Su Yi turned and entered the ward.

Director Liu's face changed, "Who is he?"

Song Renxin replied gravely, "He's the patient's father."

Director Liu was displeased, but he said nothing and just nodded, "Good, let him see his daughter for the last time."

"My daughter is not dead!"

Inside the ward, Su Yi shouted.

Director Liu's face darkened, "Family member, I know she's not dead yet, but it's now beyond hope."

"Originally, if you hadn't come, once she took her last breath, our hospital would have sent her straight to the morgue."

"Now, you might as well take your daughter home and prepare for her funeral!"

Inside the ward, Su Yi didn't speak.

He took a deep breath, adjusting himself to the best state, took out his package of silver needles, and extracted one.

His first time treating a patient, especially his daughter.

Su Yi was determined to be fully focused, not allowing himself any mistakes!

And he would not allow external disturbances!

Outside the ward, Song Renxin bit his lip and said, "Director Liu, we are a hospital, we must prioritize compassion. Until the very last moment, unless voluntary by the family, we cannot let the family take the patient away!"

"Why can't we? Right now, the relatives of patients are like ticking time bombs. Who knows when they'll cause medical disturbances? Do we really have to wait for the dean and Professor Li to witness such a commotion?!"

Director Liu was extremely cold, as if human life was no different from that of an ant.

He waited for a moment, but seeing that Su Yi did not come out with his daughter, his brows furrowed all the more.

"What the hell are you doing?"

Director Liu, growing impatient, also walked into the ward.

Just as he entered, he saw Su Yi sitting beside the bed with a serious expression, a long, thin silver needle pinched between his fingers.

Instantly, his expression changed dramatically!

"What the fuck are you doing?!"

Director Liu bellowed, striding forward and grabbing Su Yi's wrist, his eyes full of rage.

At the same time, Su Yi also adjusted himself to the optimum state.

Now was the moment!

Su Yi's gaze flashed, his wrist unmoved, he simply flicked his finger.

Whoosh!

The silver needle shot out, piercing his daughter's brow with utmost precision.

"Empty-air acupuncture?!!"

Song Renxin, hearing the sound and coming in, just caught sight of this scene, his pupils shrank, and he was utterly shocked.

...

"You wanna die, do it alone, don't drag me into it!"

Director Liu screamed, his face turning pale with fright.

He didn't understand acupuncture performed in midair, but he knew the stakes of this inspection were high!

If anything untoward happened in his department...

he could kiss his director's position goodbye!

"Get your daughter and get the hell out of here. If you want treatment, go elsewhere, but don't cause trouble in our hospital!"

Director Liu yelled, trying to pull Su Yi away forcefully.

But Su Yi was no longer the man he used to be, his body immovable, his gaze constantly fixed on his daughter's condition.

With his free hand, he once again picked up a silver needle.

Director Liu gnashed his teeth in anger, "Are you fucking deaf?!"

"I'm warning you, your daughter is about to die!"

"Go ahead and prepare for your daughter's funeral, stop struggling!"

Song Renxin shouted sternly, "Director Liu, as long as the patient has a breath left, we can't give up!"

"Besides, Mr. Su is skilled in midair acupuncture, why not let him try?!"

Director Liu's face turned cold, "Song Renxin, are you the director or am I?"

"Also, why have I never heard of midair acupuncture?"

"Don't fucking make up terms to fool me!"

Song Renxin was so angry he silently gritted his teeth.

You're really a tyrant, aren't you?

Midair acupuncture is one of the highest attainments in traditional Chinese medicine.

In the whole country, there probably aren't more than twenty who can do it effectively.

And each one is a national treasure of a doctor!

But... an official rank higher crushes the person below!

Despite his title as director, Song Renxin truly had no way to deal with him.

At that moment, a nurse rushed in: "Director Liu, the Hospital President and Professor Li have arrived."

"They've already visited the internal medicine and surgery departments; next up is our neurology department."

What?!

Director Liu's face turned pale again.

He couldn't delay any longer.

He had to get rid of them as quickly as possible!

Even if it took extreme measures, it would be worth it!

As long as he got through this inspection smoothly, he could use his position to suppress any issues that arose afterward.

"Fine, I got it."

Director Liu sent the nurse away, his expression darkening as he glanced at Su Yi and gritted his teeth.

"You won't leave, is that it? Then don't blame me for throwing your daughter out!"

In his desperation to keep his position, Director Liu let go of Su Yi's wrist and moved to pick up Su Xiaoxiao.

"You fucking stop right there!"

Su Yi's expression hardened, and before he could act, Song Renxin let out a roar of rage.

The senior doctor, over sixty years old, rushed forward, grabbing Director Liu from behind.

He yelled at Su Yi, "Mr. Su, go ahead with the acupuncture, I'll stop him!"

"Thank you!"

Su Yi nodded appreciatively, quickly focusing his mind, his hand flicking out the silver needle again.

He concentrated intently, his hands fluttering like butterflies, continuously drawing out needles and piercing the air to hit the acupuncture points on his daughter.

Fluid and graceful, achieving harmony in a single breath of work!

Though it was his first time administering the needles in such a way, it appeared as if he had practiced countless times.

Director Liu's face twisted in ugly frustration, struggling ceaselessly: "Song Renxin, are you fucking rebelling?!"

Song Renxin cursed back, "You bastard! You bastard!! You bastard!!!"

Director Liu was taken aback by the rebuke.

Right then, a furious shout came from outside the door: "What the hell is going on here?!"

"We can hear the lot of you cursing from the hallway, what kind of behavior is this?!"

Hearing this, Director Liu shivered and dared not struggle anymore.

Song Renxin also released him without delay, hastily turning his attention to Su Yi.

"Mr. Su, is everything going smoothly?"

"Hmm."

Su Yi nodded without saying much else.

The treatment was already underway, and he couldn't afford any distractions that might cause complications.

He continued his actions without pause, administering more midair acupuncture.

Meanwhile, two men, both over sixty, entered from outside.

It was the Hospital President and Professor Li.

As they entered, ready to scold, their eyes caught sight of Su Yi's movements.

Suddenly, they both trembled.

"Is this… needle throwing?!"

The director was utterly shocked, unable to believe his eyes, and subconsciously glanced at Professor Li beside him.

Professor Li was the honorary dean of the Medical Academy, and could be regarded as one of the medical community's authoritative figures.

He stared intently at Su Yi and said in a deep voice, "Indeed, it is needle throwing!"

"However… these movements as smooth as flowing clouds and water, the effortless flick of the wrist, I have never seen before!"

"This is definitely a Grandmaster of medicine!"

How could this be?!

One stone stirred up a thousand ripples.

The whole room was in an uproar.

No one expected Professor Li's evaluation of Su Yi to be so high!

A Grandmaster of medicine!

Throughout the entire country, those who could bear this title were no more than a handful!

Even Professor Li himself fell just short of the mark!

Director Liu couldn't help but tremble, his forehead bead with cold sweat as it soaked through his clothes.

Seeing this, Song Renxin sneered, "Director Liu, why are you so nervous?"

"I... I, why would I be nervous?"

Director Liu argued stiffly, but his words lacked conviction.

Song Renxin feigned curiosity, "Wasn't it you just now who wanted to stop Mister Su, this Grandmaster of medicine, from administering the needle to save someone?"

He emphasized the word "Grandmaster" particularly heavily.

"You you… You're talking nonsense!"

Director Liu argued vehemently, his face flushed and his neck thickening.

Their exchange naturally didn't escape the ears of the director and Professor Li.

"Right, I haven't asked yet, what exactly happened just now?"

The director said with a grim expression.

In front of a Grandmaster of medicine, people in his hospital actually came to blows.

This was truly a disgrace!

Professor Li looked at Director Liu, his brows deeply furrowed: "I heard... you wanted to stop this Grandmaster from saving a life?"

His words were not harsh, but they made Director Liu sweat profusely, his expression one of panic.

This man was the honorary dean of the Medical Academy, whose word alone could determine the life or death of his directorship.

"It was… it was like this…"

"Right, it was this little girl patient, her cerebral nerve tumor had worsened to the point where even surgery couldn't save her."

"But this patient's family member insisted on administering the needle himself. He's not a doctor, so of course I couldn't let him do it."

Director Liu's tone was frantic, but at least it seemed he had found a somewhat decent excuse.

He sighed in relief as if a great burden had been lifted, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Song Renxin sneered, "Director Liu, we really shouldn't lie with our eyes wide open."

"Since you won't tell the truth, then I'll just have to lay it all out."

Director Liu shuddered all over, shouting out loud to interrupt, "Song Renxin, you're just trying to slander me maliciously!"

"Fine, you say I am slandering you, so I won't speak anymore. However, don't forget, Mister Su is still in the ward!"

Song Renxin sneered coldly and truly said nothing more.

Director Liu's heart trembled, uneasy and unsettled, casting glances at Su Yi from time to time.

He wondered how he was going to deal with what was to come.

The director and Professor Li looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

Well then, they would delve into this matter after the treatment was finished.

Once again, they turned their attention to Su Yi.

The director let out a sigh, "It's a pity, this Grandmaster of medicine does not belong to our hospital!"

Professor Li chuckled, "True talents are hidden among the common folk, the greatest figures are the most unassuming. Perhaps Mister Su comes from an old master."

At this moment, the treatment had reached its most critical stage.

Su Yi's hands moved faster and faster.

In the end, they blurred into afterimages!

One needle after another was thrown precisely, and just as many were pulled out, to be inserted into other acupoints.

Dazzling to behold, impossible to follow closely.

Faintly, there was a mysterious significance contained within.

Song Renxin watched Su Yi intently, as if he had realized something, yet he always lacked that final bit.

The director felt the same way.

As for Professor Li, with a deeper understanding of medicine, he could appreciate the subtleties even more, his eyes growing increasingly shocked.

Only Director Liu was anxious and restless, completely at a loss.

Finally!

Su Yi's last needle fell!

The astonishment in Professor Li's eyes had reached an indescribable extreme; he couldn't help but exclaim aloud.

"One needle decides life and death!"

...

A single needle decides life and death!

Everyone couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

From these five words alone, one could sense the dominance they contained!

The dean hurriedly asked, "Old Li, what is 'a single needle decides life and death'?"

Song Renxin also looked at Professor Li with a puzzled expression.

Professor Li spoke solemnly, "I once saw a type of acupuncture technique in an ancient text, which claimed to 'revive the dead and mend bones.'

"That acupuncture technique is called 'deciding life and death'!"

"I observed that Mr. Su's technique just now is exactly the same as what was recorded in the ancient text."

"And the final needle in 'deciding life and death' is called 'a single needle decides life and death'!"

"Life and death are not determined by the King of Hell, not by the judge, but by the person who administers the needle!"

Boom!

Thunder from a clear sky!

Everyone's face was filled with disbelief, their minds buzzing.

Could there really be such a miraculous acupuncture technique in this world?

If there is...

Would that still be considered medical skill?

It's practically magic!

Professor Li took in their expressions and sighed, "I have only come across descriptions of 'deciding life and death' in the ancient texts."

"As for whether this medical technique truly exists, I cannot give you an answer."

Song Renxin's gaze flickered.

For some reason, he had an inexplicable trust in Su Yi.

He said in a deep voice, "Ms. Su's condition has deteriorated to the extreme, and with the current level of medical science, it is impossible to cure her."

"If... she is cured this time, would it be evidence of this acupuncture technique?"

The dean said sternly, "If her condition is truly as you described, and if Mr. Su can cure her, then of course it will be proven!"

Professor Li didn't speak, but his eyes were ablaze as he watched Su Yi.

If given the chance...

He really wanted to follow Su Yi and properly learn from him.

Even if 'deciding life and death' were false, the skill of performing acupuncture in midair was genuinely real.

Sigh...

At that moment, Su Yi also took a long breath.

Sweat beads covered his forehead.

After all, it was his first time treating someone, and the patient was his daughter; it was inevitably taxing and nerve-wracking.

Thankfully, everything went smoothly.

Song Renxin asked with concern, "Mr. Su, how is it now?"

"Thank you for your concern, Dr. Song, she is cured now,"

Su Yi said with a smile.

Just as these words fell,

On the sickbed, Su Xiaoxiao's eyelashes trembled a few times, and she slowly opened her eyelids.

Her dark eyes were briefly vacant, then turned into surprise.

"Daddy, I can see now!"

She rubbed her eyes numerous times, her tender voice bursting with joy.

Those around who witnessed this scene were utterly shocked.

"A miracle, this is completely a miracle!"

"Truly 'a single needle decides life and death,' only this legendary method could have such an immediate effect!"

"To think that in my lifetime, I'd actually witness a miracle that would go down in medical history!"

Amazement and admiration were endless.

Aside from Director Liu, everyone was extremely excited.

But the most excited was Su Yi.

He picked up his daughter from the sickbed, feeling her small body in his arms, and couldn't help but cry tears of joy, unable to utter a word.

His daughter lifted her small face, wiping his cheeks with her tiny hands, looking somewhat guilty, "Daddy, don't cry... Did it cost a lot of money to treat Xiao Xiao?"

"It's all Xiao Xiao's fault, I'm so stupid, I couldn't bear the pain after only three days."

Hearing this, Su Yi's heart ached, and tears streamed from his eyes.

Due to family circumstances, his daughter had always been sensible, so sensible that it was heartbreaking!

Su Yi held her tighter, his voice choked with emotion, "Daddy is just so happy, it's not Xiao Xiao's fault, it's Daddy who hasn't done well."

"Daddy swears, I will definitely give you and Mommy a good life in the future!"

This promise was not just an emotional vow, but a commitment he intended to keep for life!

"Mm, Xiao Xiao believes in Daddy!"

His daughter nodded firmly, her little face resolute.

This scene moved everyone in the ward as well.

Su Yi wiped away his tears and, holding his daughter, turned to Song Renxin, "Xiao Xiao, this is Dr. Song; you should call him Grandpa. It's all thanks to his help that you were cured, so be sure to thank Grandpa Song."

Su Xiaoxiao said in her clear voice, "Thank you, Grandpa Song."

Song Renxin's heart nearly melted, responding repeatedly, "Eh, such a good, sensible child.

"But you must not thank me; it was your daddy who cured you."

Hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao's eyes brimmed with pride, and she stood taller.

Daddy is really amazing!

Su Yi sincerely said, "Dr. Song, it was all because of you that I had the chance to save my daughter; this thanks, you fully deserve."

"If it weren't for you..."

As he spoke, he looked towards Director Liu, a cold light in his eyes, "This director who wields great authority would probably have thrown my daughter out!"

What?!

Director Liu was going to throw out a patient?!!

The dean and Professor Li were both shaken, turning their heads toward Director Liu with a fiery gaze.

"Liu, explain yourself right now!!"

"I... I... I didn't."

Director Liu sweated profusely, stammering.

Song Renxin saw this and immediately sneered, "You didn't say anything just now and wouldn't let me speak, but now that Mr. Su has said it himself, you still won't admit it!"

Director Liu trembled all over, restless and uneasy.

He could admit to anything else, but this matter was the only one he couldn't!

Ignoring the lives of patients is a grave taboo in a hospital!

Especially in front of the dean and Professor Li!

Once he admitted it, he would be finished!

"You, you, you... you're talking nonsense! I never thought about throwing the patient out, you're just spewing slander!"

Director Liu's face was ablaze with fury, roaring repeatedly.

To those unaware, it would seem as though he suffered a great injustice.

But everyone present had ample experience and could see that he was blustering to cover his fragility, utterly lacking in confidence.

The dean and Professor Li's faces were somber, as if they were about to drip water.

They could never have imagined that there were such twists and turns involved!

Especially the dean, who trembled with rage.

This incident occurred in his hospital, an utter smear on his professional record!

Slap!

He strode forward and delivered a powerful slap, bellowing angrily.

"You dare to argue?!"

Director Liu staggered, his half of his face swelling up.

But he dared not admit it, repeatedly saying, "I'm not arguing, Dean, you have a discerning eye, I really didn't..."

Slap!

Another harsh slap!

This time, it was Professor Li who struck.

With clenched teeth, he said, "Even now, you refuse to repent. Then explain to us, when we came in, Dr. Song was holding you, how do you explain that?!"

Director Liu's face turned deathly white, and he collapsed onto the floor.

Indeed, how could he explain?

There was no explanation!

The dean turned to Su Yi, respectfully bowed, "Mr. Su, our hospital has nurtured such a scum, and I am willing to accept any punishment!"

"This matter is unrelated to the hospital, but he must pay the price for what he has done!"

Su Yi's face was cold.

"Thank you, Mr. Su, for your understanding."

The dean sincerely expressed his gratitude, then turned to stare at Director Liu and said indifferently, "From now on, you are no longer part of our hospital!"

Director Liu's face was ashen, begging for mercy, "Dean, I know I was wrong, please give me another chance!"

The dean remained unmoved.

Professor Li added coldly, "As the honorary dean of the Medical College, I declare that from now on, you are blacklisted in the medical industry. If any hospital or clinic dares to employ you, I will shut it down directly!"

That statement had an even greater impact!

Thump.

Director Liu's legs gave out, and he kneeled on the ground, crying profusely, repeatedly kowtowing.

"Professor Li, I was wrong, I really know my mistake."

"I am willing to leave the hospital, please don't ban me from the entire industry!"

"There should always be a way out for a person."

Both elderly men remained silent with stern faces.

After pondering for a moment, Su Yi said indifferently, "Dean, Professor, I think that Dr. Song is qualified for the position of director."

"Right, right, I think so too!" the dean immediately nodded in agreement: "Dr. Song has a compassionate heart, and he's also a senior member of our hospital, he is definitely qualified."

Professor Li also nodded in agreement: "With the director position vacant, Dr. Song is indeed the perfect choice."

Song Renxin felt a tremor in his body, his whole person became excited.

Director Liu was like a petrified chicken.

They had chosen his replacement right in front of him.

Now he was truly finished.

There was no turning back!

And all of this was brought upon himself!

Su Yi didn't even glance at him as he said to the others, "Dr. Song, Dean, Professor, my daughter is better now, and I will take my leave. I'll come back another day to repay Dr. Song the money he advanced. I hope I won't still see certain disagreeable person then."

"Mr. Su, rest assured, I will have security throw him out immediately!"

The dean said repeatedly.

He immediately went to the door and called several security guards who dragged away the ashen-faced Director Liu.

And Su Yi also left.

In his arms, his daughter looked thrilled, "Daddy, you're so amazing, the doctors all listen to you!"

Su Yi said proudly, "That's right, haven't you seen whose daughter you are?"

His daughter proudly exclaimed, "My daddy is the best!"

Su Yi ruffled her little head, "When we get home, daddy can also cure mommy."

Upon hearing this, a bright light burst forth in his daughter's eyes, "Really? Mommy can be cured too?"

"Yes!"

Su Yi nodded emphatically, his tone affirmative.

"That's great, mommy can be cured too!"

Overjoyed, his daughter leaned on Su Yi's shoulder, her arms wide open in excitement, as if she wanted the entire world to know.

A tender warmth filled Su Yi's heart.

Daughter, wife, we will definitely have a happy and perfect family!

When Su Yi arrived back at the apartment complex, the tenderness in his heart turned icy in an instant.

He saw a Maybach at the entrance of the complex.

It was Chen Mingjun's car!

This low-grade community couldn't possibly have anything to do with Chen Mingjun.

His being here could only have one purpose—

Lin Xinran!

"Damn it! Chen Mingjun, you beast!"

Su Yi's eyes were filled with rage, he cursed under his breath, and rushed towards his home at the fastest speed.

...

Seeing the bodyguard standing at the entrance of the building, Su Yi's mind exploded with a "bang".

Shit! These people were ultimately targeting Lin Xinran!

In his urgency, Su Yi still decided to leave his daughter at his friend's house downstairs first.

He knocked on the door of his friend's house and, under Ye Yueluo's puzzled gaze, handed his daughter over to her.

There was no time for lengthy explanations. Su Yi instructed tersely, "It's urgent, please watch Xiao Xiao for me, don't come out."

"Xiao Xiao, listen to your sister Yueluo. Daddy will be back soon."

After saying these words, Su Yi dashed off as fast as he could.

Just as he entered the hallway, two bodyguards leaned to the side, blocking the entrance.

"Chen Family business, outsiders step back."

Hearing this, Su Yi's eyes also turned cold.

"Chen Family? It's your Chen Family people I'm here to beat!"

The bodyguard was furious. Who dared to disregard the Chen Family? Take them down first!

Several bodyguards charged straight at him.

Su Yi let out a cold laugh.

Facing the hands trying to grab him, he neither dodged nor avoided, meeting them with a casual hand.

At the moment their hands touched, Su Yi's hand twisted bizarrely, sliding past the bodyguard's wrist.

With a gentle twist at the base of the palm!

A "crack" was heard, and the bodyguard, propelled by inertia, fell to the ground.

The bodyguard who took the fall tried to get up, only to start rolling on the ground in pain.

That hand was clearly broken! The entire wrist was grotesquely bent backwards.

The remaining bodyguard couldn't stop his momentum and was deftly dodged by Su Yi.

A casual tap on the arm, a pull and a snap, he too was rolling on the ground.

Any further attackers were easily handled with a few light strokes, all laid out clean and neat.

Having dealt with the underlings, Su Yi rushed forward.

Picking locks and sliding doors open in one smooth motion.

Upon entering, even with his strong composure, Su Yi's eyes instantly filled with blood.

The room had already been ravaged by these jackals, debris scattered and broken everywhere.

In the center of the living room, a rope ran through someone's hands, hanging what turned out to be Lin Xinran who had been dragged out of bed!

Lin Xinran's clothes were half-undone, while Chen Mingjun was touching her long jade legs with a sleazy expression on his face!

"True to be counted as one of the past beauties of Yancheng, but even now being paralyzed, there is a different kind of pleasure in playing with her!"

Su Yi roared in anger, wishing he could tear Chen Mingjun to pieces on the spot!

"Beast!!!"

Startled by the noise, Chen Mingjun jumped and quickly turned around.

Seeing Su Yi's fierce face, Chen Mingjun clearly panicked.

"You? How did you get up here? Weren't your legs broken??" Chen Mingjun asked in disbelief.

He had struck with killing intent, breaking bones, how could he walk again?!

Even with their newly developed miracle drug, one would need to lie down for at least a month; how could a lively Su Yi suddenly appear?

It was unbelievable!

"Yeah, but grandpa here is tough, I can take it."

Words came from Su Yi's teeth, one by one, filled with rage.

Suppressing the fury in his heart, Su Yi spoke while moving forward.

With a false bravado, Chen Mingjun warned, "I'm warning you, don't come any closer, my men are just downstairs!""

Su Yi replied coldly, "Heh heh heh, today you won't be able to call anyone, let's settle both new and old scores."

Watching such a furiously mad Su Yi, Chen Mingjun finally panicked, cursing inwardly, "These useless fools! Can't even stop one person!"

But his body moved bit by bit towards the window ledge; as long as he had a chance to call out, he refused to believe a cripple could turn things upside down!

In Chen Mingjun's territory, no one had been able to touch him!

Realizing this, Chen Mingjun became arrogant again.

"Bodyguards, come up! Dammit, I have to kill him today!"

A moment of silence...

"Bodyguards! Bodyguards!! Dammit, where are they?"

Seeing no response, Chen Mingjun leaned out of the window to look.

It was bad enough to look, but the men lay sprawled on the ground in disarray!

None able to stand up!

Chen Mingjun panicked in an instant.

"How is this possible!!!"

Turning back to see Su Yi, he couldn't help but feel a chill and his body went limp.

How had Su Yi, who not long ago had broken legs and was barely breathing, suddenly become so fierce?!

It was too weird!

At this moment, Chen Mingjun was both shocked and scared, scrambling to get beside Lin Xinran.

"Don't come any closer, I have your wife!"

Things had been okay until this was mentioned.

Su Yi instantly flew into a rage!

In that instant, a streak of black glimmer ripped through the air!

It was a tiny silver needle!

Whoosh!

It slipped into Chen Mingjun's knuckle with exquisite precision.

In an instant, Chen Mingjun froze in place, a piercing pain shooting from the tip of his finger into his brain.

"Ahh—"

Accompanied by a scream, Chen Mingjun fell to the ground and rolled in agony.

He tried to pull out the needle, but the area around the puncture felt ablaze.

Chen Mingjun screamed in horror, his eyes filled with disbelief and terror as he looked at Su Yi.

Su Yi didn't bother watching Chen Mingjun whimper like a beaten dog on the ground; with a silver needle, he snapped the hemp rope tied around Lin Xinran's hands.

He lifted Lin Xinran down, hooked a broken wheelchair out from the mess on the ground with the tip of his foot, and gently placed Lin Xinran on it.

Su Yi's slender fingers rested on Lin Xinran's wrist, carefully feeling for her pulse.

Thankfully, she wasn't seriously harmed! Su Yi finally let out a breath of relief.

When he looked back at Chen Mingjun, his eyes turned fiercely sharp.

"You, don't come closer!" Chen Mingjun struggled to his feet, enduring the severe pain. He couldn't hide the fear in his eyes, and he took two steps back abruptly.

"I'm warning you, this is a society governed by laws! Don't you dare do anything rash, I've called the police!"

Su Yi's chilly gaze swept over Chen Mingjun's face, and he took a deep breath.

In the past, he had lacked the ability, but now, he had awakened his family's legacy.

It was time to strike back!

Su Yi's hands flipped, and his eerie finger techniques touched Chen Mingjun's body, paralyzing him immediately.

"Slap—"

A crisp slap landed on Chen Mingjun's cheek, inflaming half of his face instantly.

"You... You dare to hit me!"

Chen Mingjun was shocked and furious. Since when did the powerless Su Yi have so many tricks up his sleeve?!

Moreover, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?!

But he couldn't afford to think more. Seeing Su Yi's hand coming towards him, Chen Mingjun's pupils constricted.

"You, you can't do this! I can give you money!! Spare me! I'll pay for your wife and daughter's treatments!!"

At the mention of his wife and daughter, Su Yi's face turned colder.

Su Yi pinched Chen Mingjun's wrist and started twisting it inch by inch.

As the sound of bones cracking "crack crack" filled the air, Chen Mingjun's whole body started shaking.

"Ahhhh—"

Heart-wrenching screams echoed in the hallway for a long time.

He looked at Su Yi in terror, his eyeballs nearly bursting from their sockets!

"No! Noooooo—"

"This needle is to make sure you can bear it."

With a cold smile, Su Yi flicked his hand, and a silver needle punctured the nerve in Chen Mingjun's scapula.

More prolonged screams followed.

The immense pain, mixed with fear, distorted Chen Mingjun's face, but because it hit a specific nerve, he couldn't faint from the pain!

Chen Mingjun's hand was twisted, forced into an eerie angle!

"You've been committing crimes for so long; it's time you paid a price!"

"What, what are you going to do to me!"

Looking coldly at the grotesque but lucid Chen Mingjun, Su Yi took out another needle.

"No! Please, spare me!! I won't dare do it again! I'll give back all the shares, please, no!"

Chen Mingjun's hair stood on end, his voice altered.

"Please, just let me go, and I'll do anything you ask, whatever you want, I can give it to you, please!"

"You'll do anything? What you will have to do isn't that much."

Chen Mingjun saw a glimmer of hope and said tremblingly, "Anything at all, just command me, I'll certainly make sure it's done!"

"Then just enjoy this needle." Su Yi's indifferent words reached Chen Mingjun's ears, one by one.

Chen Mingjun was a mixture of horror and fear.

"No... No—!!!"

"This needle is for Lin Xinran."

With a cold smirk, Su Yi spoke slowly, appearing like a King of Hell emerging from the abyss!

A needle went down.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh—"

Chen Mingjun's miserable wailing resonated throughout the building.

"Hehehe, you'll always be a eunuch now."
