Chapter 24

Outside, it was a scene of chaos, but inside the ward, it was eerily quiet. Lin Xuetao and Zhu Shoushou only watched with their eyes, not speaking a word. Gu Fan, on the other hand, had no intention of explaining.

After entering, Gu Fan didn't seem to make any preparations. He simply pulled open Old Mr. Wang's clothes and took out a row of silver needles from the medicine box.

In myocardial infarction, the main issue lies in the blockage of the channels supplying the heart. Therefore, to fundamentally solve this problem, it was necessary to restore the vitality of these channels.

However, Old Mr. Wang's condition was a bit special. He was very old, and his organs were already in a state of decline. Thus, the operation had to be carried out with the utmost caution.

Gu Fan used the first needle of the Nine Needles of the Immortal Doctor. These silver needles contained a thread of his spiritual energy, which, through their interconnectedness, maintained and enhanced the vitality of the heart and surrounding organs, preventing excessive movement that could cause bleeding.

The main battlefield, however, was still at the site of the actual blockage. To clear these channels, he used the spiritual energy of the Immortal Doctor.

The core of the Immortal Doctor's school was the Immortal Doctor's Inheritance Spirit Technique—the Technique of Reviving the Dead. The various methods of application came second.

This did not mean that the Immortal Doctor ignored basic medical principles. On the contrary, the most fundamental aspects were indispensable. The Immortal Doctor merely elevated the ultimate level to a height that others could not reach.

Under Gu Fan's treatment, and with the attention of Lin Xuetao and Zhu Shoushou, Old Mr. Wang's condition gradually improved, and this improvement was almost visible to the naked eye.

For ordinary people, being able to enjoy such meticulous and careful nourishment from the Immortal Doctor's spiritual energy was a tremendous blessing.

These organs, while they couldn't suddenly return to their youthful state, showed significant improvement, which was entirely without any problem.

Even if Gu Fan were willing, he could consume a large amount of spiritual energy to completely improve an elderly person's constitution, restoring their bodily functions to their youthful state!

However, there was no need for that. Gu Fan only wanted to feel at ease when he received the jade piece, and that was enough.

The entire treatment process lasted about two hours. When Gu Fan finally put away the silver needles, Old Mr. Wang slowly opened his eyes.

"Old Mr. Wang, how do you feel?" As experienced doctors, Lin Xuetao and Zhu Shoushou immediately sensed a difference when Old Mr. Wang opened his eyes, as if he had transformed from a frail old man into someone with some vitality.

This was simply unbelievable, almost unimaginable.

"Very good, better than ever before!" Wang Yuanzheng's face was full of surprise. He knew his body better than anyone else. Even without moving, just lying there, he could feel the changes in his body.

"We, we should do a check-up for you!" Zhu Shoushou was visibly excited. He wanted to use data to verify just how miraculous Gu Fan's two hours of acupuncture had been.

"Didn't we just do a check-up this morning?" Wang Yuanzheng frowned.

"Old Mr. Wang, the one who treated you wasn't us, but Mr. Gu Fan!" Lin Xuetao awkwardly smiled, then realized that Gu Fan was still there, and their behavior seemed a bit overbearing.

"Old Mr. Wang, when you went to the construction site yesterday..." Zhu Shoushou briefly recounted the events, not even hiding the fact that someone had tampered with things.

"Gu Fan, it seems you have your own reasons for treating this old man. What do you need from me?" Wang Yuanzheng looked at Gu Fan with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

"Have you seen this before?" Gu Fan took out the jade piece.

"Hey, how could you possibly have my jade piece?" Wang Yuanzheng was very surprised.

"Old Mr. Wang, this isn't yours, it's mine. It seems you have another one. I want the one you have!" Gu Fan said straightforwardly.

Risking his life to enter the great vortex and personally treating Old Mr. Wang to remove his illness and even extend his life, all of this was for this jade piece.

So at this moment, Gu Fan had no intention of hiding anything and was completely straightforward.

Wang Yuanzheng reached up and pulled a pendant from his neck. It had many pieces of jade, one of which was identical to Gu Fan's!

The shape, color, everything was exactly the same.

"You want this, so I can't refuse!" Wang Yuanzheng said thoughtfully.

Gu Fan smiled, not responding, just waiting for Wang Yuanzheng's answer. The possibility that he wouldn't hand over the jade piece was nonexistent. If this person were so ungrateful, Gu Fan had countless ways to get the jade piece and ensure that those who deserved punishment would receive it!

"But this jade piece has been with me for decades. I remember it has been with me since I was fifteen, and I am now eighty-six! Mr. Gu, can you understand my feelings?" Wang Yuanzheng's voice was low.

"I can understand!" Gu Fan nodded.

"Can we find another way?" Wang Yuanzheng asked.

"I understand your feelings!" Gu Fan smiled. "But I don't agree with your approach!"

"Old Mr. Wang!" Lin Xuetao and Zhu Shoushou were a bit worried. To them, it was just a jade piece. If Wang Yuanzheng was so reluctant, it could cause trouble if he upset Gu Fan. After all, no one could be sure of Wang Yuanzheng's current health condition.

Besides, a doctor, especially one like Gu Fan, could save lives, but if he wanted to harm someone, it would be equally easy. Such a person should not be offended!

"Can you tell me what you need it for?" Wang Yuanzheng looked at Lin Xuetao and Zhu Shoushou, then stared at Gu Fan.

"To do something very important and meaningful." Gu Fan was patient.

A thing that had been with him for seventy years couldn't be without emotion. It was normal to be reluctant to part with it. So, Gu Fan was patient, as long as the final result satisfied him.

Wang Yuanzheng trembled as he took off the pendant and slowly removed the jade piece, holding it in his palm.

Lin Xuetao and Zhu Shoushou were silent, as if they could understand Wang Yuanzheng's feelings.

Of course, understanding was one thing, but both of them didn't think a jade piece could compare to what Gu Fan had done. This was a matter of life and death, and it could change the entire Wang family's fate. In this context, how could a jade piece be compared?

"Here!" Wang Yuanzheng suddenly raised his hand and handed the jade piece to Gu Fan.

"Thank you, Old Mr. Wang!" Gu Fan bowed deeply. Breaking such a bond was truly cruel.

"I should be the one to thank you. With this body, I should be able to live a few more years, right?" Wang Yuanzheng laughed heartily.

"Exactly! As long as you don't trigger any diseases or have any external accidents, and pay attention to your diet and lifestyle, you can expect to live another ten years!" Gu Fan said confidently.

"Great! I was supposed to die, but now I have another ten years to live. Shouldn't I thank you?" Wang Yuanzheng laughed heartily, his voice strong.

"Knowing that Dr. Lin and Dr. Zhu will take care of you, I can rest assured. I have some matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave!" With the jade piece in hand, Gu Fan had no further obligations and wanted to leave.

As for the internal developments and struggles within the Wang family, that was none of Gu Fan's business.

"Mr. Gu, please wait!" Lin Xuetao and Zhu Shoushou called out simultaneously.

"Do you have something else?"

"Mr. Gu, your medical skills are extraordinary. Have you ever thought about benefiting more people?" Lin Xuetao said, "Both Dr. Zhu and I hold the title of deputy director. If you agree, your name can be on the list of TCM experts!"

"Mr. Gu, please consider it carefully!" Zhu Shoushou said sincerely. "Our hospital, and even countless patients, need your help!"

"I don't have such plans for now! Thank you for your kindness. If I become interested one day, I will definitely contact you!" Gu Fan shook his head. A hospital of this size wasn't that simple. Just the various certificates alone would be a huge hurdle for Gu Fan.

"Mr. Gu, here are our business cards. If you have any thoughts in this direction, feel free to call us!" Lin Xuetao and Zhu Shoushou quickly handed over their business cards. After the two times Gu Fan had demonstrated his skills, they were thoroughly convinced of his abilities.

Often, it doesn't take long to be impressed by someone. It can be just one event, one word, or one action.

Gu Fan took the business cards and realized that Lin Xuetao and Zhu Shoushou were both significant figures, both deputy directors of the First People's Hospital of Donghai City, with one being a chief physician in thoracic medicine and the other in neurosurgery.

These two, no matter which hospital they went to, would be treated like gods. They were the most valuable assets of a hospital.

However, Gu Fan casually put the business cards in his pocket and smiled as he said goodbye.

This scene left Wang Yuanzheng a bit stunned.

He naturally understood the weight of Lin Xuetao and Zhu Shoushou. The fact that they were willing to take care of him was due to past connections. Their attitude towards Gu Fan made Wang Yuanzheng truly realize what Gu Fan's intervention meant for him.

Gu Fan left the ward in high spirits.

With the jade piece in hand, although the whereabouts of the other seven were still unknown, at least it was a good start, right?

However, just as Gu Fan was about to call Chen Jiaxin, a cold and icy woman appeared before him like a ghost!

"Are you Gu Fan?" Feng Bingbing spoke coldly, as if devoid of any emotion.

"Yes, I am Gu Fan. Who are you?" Gu Fan frowned. He didn't recognize this person, and her icy demeanor made him uncomfortable. A beautiful woman should be warm and passionate to be considered beautiful.

"Come with me!" Feng Bingbing said sternly, with an air of authority.

"Come with you? Who are you? I'm busy!" Gu Fan ignored Feng Bingbing and smiled at Wang Yuyan. "Your grandfather is better now. You can go in and see him!"

"Really? Thank you, Gu Fan!" Wang Yuyan rushed into the ward.
