"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 issues with his character, he is indeed a doctorate in Traditional Chinese Medicine. You have never studied TCM, and you don't even recognize 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, but his expression was full of doubt.
In his impression, Du Zhong was an extremely steady young man who would not 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 acting, Wu Haihua straightened his body 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, fairness is not an issue!"
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 in the hospital who are free must be present, and Gu Muer must be present!"
"No problem."
Du Zhong sneered disdainfully.
Wu Haihua's smile widened, and a glint of cunning flashed in his eyes.
He seemed to already see the moment when he won the competition, the moment when everyone in the hospital looked at him with admiration, and the moment when Gu Muer threw 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 and said excitedly, "Now I'll notify everyone in the hospital, 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.
Some 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 with a puzzled look.
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 composed, could be so devious 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, it would be all admiration and respect!
"Even so, you can't agree to it! You don't know anything, why did you agree so recklessly?"
After hearing the whole story, Gu Muer glared at Wu Haihua angrily and 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 and composed demeanor, Gu Muer felt even more angry. She puffed up her cheeks and turned her head away, not even looking at Du Zhong.
The clinic was a bit small!
Wu Haihua frowned, looking at the clinic, and began to calculate in his mind.
Elder Qin's small clinic couldn't accommodate all the people from the hospital who came to watch. Since they were competing, they needed to crush Du Zhong in front of everyone!
To achieve that effect, everyone in the hospital had to witness it.
Thinking of this, Wu Haihua raised his head and said, "This place isn't suitable. 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.
Then, under Gu Muer's continuous glares, the group went to the open space in the hospital garden.
Doctors and nurses who heard about the competition also came one after another, filling the small garden.
Everyone knew that Security Captain Du Zhong was following Elder Qin for his clinic, but they were puzzled as to why he suddenly wanted to compete with Wu Haihua. Although they knew Du Zhong couldn't win Wu Haihua, they still came out of curiosity to see what was going on.
"Beep beep beep..."
Wu Haihua's phone rang. He hung up and looked at Du Zhong with a sinister smile, "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!"
In less than 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 serious 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 are an orthopedic doctor and have studied 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?"
"This is a competition between me and Du Zhong, why are you interfering? Whether to compete or not, ask him yourself!"
Wu Haihua's face darkened.
He couldn't stand how Gu Muer always favored Du Zhong, no matter what, and treated him with indifference.
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.
"Let the competition begin, who goes first?"
"I'll go first!"
Everything was ready, and Wu Haihua took the lead, giving Du Zhong a challenging look.
Du Zhong didn't even raise an eyebrow.
Keep up the act!
I'll see how you act when you lose and cry!
Wu Haihua walked to the bedside with a sneer.
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, squeezing, and manipulation.
Wu Haihua clearly mastered these techniques well. To be an orthopedic doctor at such a young age, he was no ordinary person. He had learned bone setting from a master in his early years.
His bone-setting skills were already at a masterful level.
The people around only saw Wu Haihua's hands rapidly changing shapes, touching, connecting, and breaking, making it hard to follow.
Before the crowd could react, Wu Haihua raised his hand to signal that the bone setting was complete.
Wow!
The entire audience was shocked. That was too fast!
Was it to achieve an effect by deliberately shortening the time?
"Not painful anymore? Am I cured?"
At this 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 worthy of being an orthopedic doctor, his skills are truly amazing."
"If I'm not mistaken, Dr. Wu used a highly advanced traditional Chinese bone-setting technique that is passed down in the folk!"
"How long did it take to set the lumbar vertebrae? I think Security Captain Du Zhong is in trouble this round!"
...
The onlookers chattered, their eyes full of admiration for Wu Haihua.
Gu Muer and Elder Qin both frowned, realizing that Wu Haihua had hidden his true strength before.
This might be Wu Haihua's true bone-setting ability.
Time: ten seconds!
Wu Haihua completed the entire process in just ten seconds!
The entire audience was stunned!
Everyone subconsciously looked at Du Zhong.
"It's your turn!"
Wu Haihua looked at Du Zhong with a proud and challenging expression.
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's eyes were full of worry as she looked at Du Zhong.
"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 who was timing 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 almost lost his voice, and everyone was collectively stunned. Their mouths were wide open, and their faces were full of disbelief.
Even Gu Muer and Elder Qin were completely stunned.
Wu Haihua was even more dumbfounded.
"It's not over yet!"
Just as everyone was extremely shocked, the orthopedic doctor who was timing suddenly spoke.
At this moment, Du Zhong began to use both hands, moving rapidly over the patient's back!
Press, push, squeeze!
He finished!
Exactly ten seconds.
"Ten seconds!"
The orthopedic doctor who was timing breathed a sigh of relief and announced the final result.
Everyone also breathed a sigh of relief. If it really took only one second, it would have been too terrifying.
Ten seconds, although still impressive, was within the acceptable range compared to one second.
At this moment, the patient on the bed suddenly raised his head, jumped off the bed, and after twisting his waist, felt a lightness and excitement, jumping up.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
A patient who had a dislocated lumbar vertebrae just ten seconds ago could now jump and walk?
What kind of magical bone-setting technique could achieve this level?
