Chapter 25

"Du Zhong!"

Elder Qin frowned deeply.

"Rest assured, Elder Qin!"

Du Zhong smiled slightly.

Beside him, Wu Haihua grinned, revealing his white teeth, and laughed sinisterly, as if his evil plan had succeeded.

"Are you sure there's no problem? Although he has moral issues, he is indeed a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine. You've never studied TCM, and you don't even know all the herbs. How can you compare with him?"

"These three areas are all his strong points. Don't act on impulse."

Elder Qin shook his head and sighed, his expression full of doubt.

In his impression, Du Zhong was an extremely steady young man who wouldn't easily get angry.

What's wrong with him today?

"Rest assured, Elder Qin, there's no problem."

Du Zhong looked at Elder Qin confidently.

Seeing this, Elder Qin could only nod and say no more.

"Good, since you've agreed, let's prepare!"

Seeing that Du Zhong had no intention of backing down, Wu Haihua straightened up and said, "But since it's a competition, it must be fair, just, and open!"

"How can it be fair, just, and open?"

Du Zhong asked calmly.

"Since you dared to agree, we won't mention fairness!"

Wu Haihua sneered, "But it must be just and open!"

"The competition will take place in the hospital, so the hospital leadership must act as the notary!"

"Agreed!"

Du Zhong answered without hesitation.

Du Zhong inwardly sneered at Wu Haihua's idea of fairness.

"Since there's a notary, it must be open!"

Wu Haihua smiled coldly and continued, "Since it's open, all the doctors and nurses who are free must be present, and Gu Muer must be there too!"

"No problem."

Du Zhong sneered disdainfully.

Wu Haihua laughed heartily, a glint of cunning in his eyes as he looked at Du Zhong.

He could already see himself winning the competition, seeing everyone in the hospital look at him with admiration, and seeing Gu Muer throwing herself into his arms like a little bird!

He had been waiting for this moment for a long time!

"Very well!"

Wu Haihua snapped out of his daydream, excitedly saying, "I'll notify everyone in the hospital now, and the competition will start immediately!"

"As you wish, I'm waiting!"

Du Zhong nodded calmly.

With Wu Haihua's notification, the entire hospital knew about the competition between Wu Haihua and Du Zhong.

Curious doctors all rushed to Elder Qin's clinic.

Gu Muer also hurried over after receiving the news.

"What's going on? Why did you suddenly challenge him?"

In Elder Qin's clinic, Gu Muer asked Du Zhong, her face full of confusion.

Du Zhong briefly explained the situation.

Gu Muer's face grew increasingly grim, and she looked at Wu Haihua in disbelief!

She never thought that Wu Haihua, who seemed to have a bright future and was always graceful, could be so sinister and cunning!

Wu Haihua didn't care about Gu Muer's gaze. He believed that once he defeated Du Zhong, Gu Muer would definitely throw herself into his arms!

Then, all he would receive would be admiration and respect!

"Even so, you can't agree to it! You don't know anything, why did you agree so rashly?"

After hearing the whole story, Gu Muer glared angrily at Wu Haihua, then turned to Du Zhong, her face full of anger.

Her pale face gradually turned red with anger.

Seeing Gu Muer's expression, Du Zhong smiled slightly and softly said, "Calm down!"

Seeing Du Zhong's calm demeanor, Gu Muer felt even more angry and turned her head away, refusing to look at him.

The clinic was a bit small!

Wu Haihua frowned, looking at the clinic, calculating in his mind.

Elder Qin's small clinic couldn't accommodate all the people from the hospital who had come to watch. Since they were competing, they had to crush Du Zhong in front of everyone at once!

To achieve that effect, everyone in the hospital had to witness it.

With this in mind, Wu Haihua looked up and said, "This place isn't suitable. If we're competing, let's go to the garden so everyone can see!"

Du Zhong nodded in agreement.

Killing the spirit, the more witnesses, the better!

Just as he wished.

Subsequently, under Gu Muer's disapproving gaze, the group moved to the hospital garden.

Doctors and nurses who heard about the competition also gathered, filling the small garden.

Everyone knew that Security Captain Du Zhong had been following Elder Qin for a few days, but they were puzzled as to why he suddenly wanted to compete with Wu Haihua. Although they knew Du Zhong couldn't win against Wu Haihua, they still came out of curiosity.

"Beep beep beep..."

Wu Haihua's phone rang. He hung up and looked at Du Zhong with a sinister smile, saying, "It just so happens that two patients with dislocated lumbar vertebrae came to the orthopedic department today. I've already had them brought down!"

"This is the first round, bone setting!"

Within two minutes, a group of orthopedic doctors pushed two hospital beds into the garden.

On the beds, the two patients lay motionless, their faces full of pain.

Under the guidance of the orthopedic doctors, the two beds stopped in front of Du Zhong and Wu Haihua!

"How do you want to compete?"

Du Zhong stepped forward immediately, staring at Wu Haihua.

He had already seen that the two patients were quite severe and didn't want to waste their time, to avoid causing them more pain.

"Very simple, we'll see who can cure the patients in the shortest time!"

Wu Haihua said confidently.

"No way!"

Before Du Zhong could speak, Gu Muer stepped forward, her face full of anger, and shouted, "You're an orthopedic doctor and learned bone setting from a master. Du Zhong isn't even a doctor and hasn't studied it. How can you compare your strength with his weakness? Are you ashamed of yourself?"

"This is a competition between me and Du Zhong. What's it to you? Do you want to compete or not? Ask him yourself!"

Wu Haihua's face darkened.

He couldn't stand how Gu Muer always favored Du Zhong, supporting him in everything but showing no interest in him.

How was he inferior to Du Zhong?

Today, he would prove to Gu Muer that he was better than Du Zhong!

Du Zhong smiled at Gu Muer, giving her a reassuring look, then turned to Wu Haihua and said firmly, "Let's compete!"

It was too late to back out now.

Gu Muer could only look at Du Zhong worriedly and step back.

Elder Qin also looked at Du Zhong worriedly and stepped forward, saying, "Since the first round is bone setting, let all the orthopedic doctors act as notaries."

Hearing this, the orthopedic doctors came forward to examine the two patients and concluded that their conditions were similar, and the difficulty of treatment was also similar.

"The competition begins, who goes first?"

"I'll go first!"

Everything was ready, and Wu Haihua stepped forward, giving Du Zhong a challenging look.

Du Zhong didn't even raise an eyebrow.

Keep pretending!

I'll see how you act when you lose and cry!

Wu Haihua walked to the bedside, hating inwardly.

The timer started!

Wu Haihua walked to one of the patients, his expression stern, and immediately placed his hands on the patient's waist.

Bone setting has eight methods: palpation, traction, rotation, flexion, lifting, pressing, shaking, and massage.

Wu Haihua clearly mastered these techniques well. To be a young orthopedic doctor, he must have been exceptional, having learned bone setting from a master.

His bone-setting skills were already at a masterful level.

The people around him only saw Wu Haihua's hands rapidly changing shapes, touching, connecting, and breaking, making it hard to follow.

Before anyone could react, Wu Haihua raised his hand, signaling that the bone setting was complete.

Wow!

The entire audience was shocked. That was so fast!

Was it just for show, deliberately shortened?

"Not painful anymore? Am I cured?"

At that moment, the patient on the bed turned his body in surprise and found that he could get out of bed and walk.

Seeing this, the crowd burst into exclamations of surprise!

"Truly a skilled orthopedic doctor, his technique is amazing."

"If I'm not mistaken, Doctor Wu used a highly advanced traditional Chinese bone-setting technique passed down in the folk!"

"Bone setting on the waist took so little time. I think Security Captain Du Zhong is in trouble this round!"

...

The crowd buzzed with discussion, looking at Wu Haihua with admiration.

Gu Muer and Elder Qin frowned simultaneously, realizing that Wu Haihua had hidden his true strength before.

This might be Wu Haihua's true bone-setting skill.

Time: ten seconds!

Wu Haihua completed the entire process in just ten seconds!

The entire audience was stunned!

Everyone looked at Du Zhong subconsciously.

"It's your turn!"

Wu Haihua looked at Du Zhong arrogantly, challenging him.

Du Zhong remained calm, seemingly unaffected by Wu Haihua's impressive performance.

Du Zhong stepped forward, and everyone eagerly awaited his performance.

Beside him, Gu Muer looked at Du Zhong with worry.

"Timer starts!"

At the command of an orthopedic doctor, Du Zhong suddenly moved!

He waved his hands, quickly sweeping over the patient's waist, then found the right spot and applied a slight force, and a crack was heard.

"1 second!"

The orthopedic doctor timing the event was momentarily stunned!

Wu Haihua used both hands and took ten seconds to complete it, while Du Zhong only took one second!

How is this possible?

The orthopedic doctor was so shocked that he lost his voice, and everyone was left speechless, their mouths agape, their faces full of disbelief.

Even Gu Muer and Elder Qin were completely stunned.

Wu Haihua was dumbfounded.

"It's not over yet!"

Just as everyone was in shock, the orthopedic doctor timing the event suddenly spoke.

At that moment, Du Zhong began using both hands, moving rapidly over the patient's back!

Press, push, squeeze!

He stopped!

Exactly ten seconds.

"Ten seconds!"

The orthopedic doctor sighed in relief, announcing the final result.

Everyone also breathed a sigh of relief. If it had really been one second, it would have been too terrifying.

Ten seconds was still impressive, but it was within the realm of acceptability compared to one second.

At that moment, the patient on the bed suddenly lifted his head, jumped off the bed, twisted his waist, and felt a lightness, jumping up in excitement.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

A patient with a dislocated lumbar vertebra could jump and walk after just ten seconds?

What kind of magical bone-setting technique could achieve this level?
