Chapter 3

"Mom, how is she?" Xu Dong saw his father sitting outside the door at the end of the hospital corridor and quickly walked up, worriedly asking.

"Doctor just checked. Fortunately, it's just exhaustion. She'll be fine with some rest," Xu Weiguo explained, but his expression still carried deep concern.

"Phew, that's a relief!" Xu Dong also let out a sigh of relief.

At that moment, a middle-aged man in a suit suddenly ran down the corridor, shouting loudly, "Whoever can save my father, I'll give them five million! As long as you can save my father, I won't go back on my word, and everyone here is a witness!"

His words caused quite a stir, and people, regardless of their abilities, gathered to join the commotion.

Even Xu Dong was tempted, after all, five million was a huge sum, who wouldn't be moved?

If he could really get it, his parents wouldn't have to go out and set up stalls anymore.

With this in mind, Xu Dong told his father and then followed the crowd.

In the ward, a group of neurologists surrounded an old man. The old man had his eyes closed, lying on the bed half-dead, mumbling something incoherent, and his breath was weak.

After a while, one of the doctors came out and said helplessly to the middle-aged man at the door, "Mr. Su, I'm very sorry, we checked again, but the situation is the same. It's a typical case of a vegetative state, very peculiar. I'm powerless, and even experts from the capital might be the same."

This person was Dr. Zhao Weixian, the chief neurologist and expert at the First People's Hospital of Donghai City, a returned overseas elite with exceptional surgical skills.

And he was being quite tactful; if he had to give a conclusion, it would be certain death!

The old man in the room had no hope of recovery.

"I don't care!" The middle-aged man's face turned red with anger, pointing at Dr. Zhao Weixian and threatening, "My grandfather was fine when he came here, how did he end up like this after your treatment? You must cure him and give me an explanation, or I'll make sure you can't work here anymore!"

The middle-aged man was very confident, not taking the hospital chief seriously, showing his immense power.

Among the onlookers, there were sharp-eyed individuals who immediately recognized the middle-aged man, exclaiming, "Isn't that Mr. Su Bo, the CEO of Su Corporation? And the old man on the bed is his father, the head of the Su family, Su Shanhe!"

"Which Su family?" Someone asked, scratching his head, puzzled.

"Which Su family? How many families in Donghai City dare to call themselves the Su family?"

"You mean the Su family of the four major clans in Donghai City, who control the entire northern district?"

"Who else?"

Hearing the name of the Su family, the crowd began to murmur, but their words carried a hint of fear, afraid of being overheard by Su Bo.

After all, in Donghai City, few dared to offend the Su family, who were wealthy and powerful, with influence in both the black and white markets!

But even such a powerful family had its head, Su Shanhe, lying on the bed, barely alive, on the verge of death.

"But I really have no way. At least I can't cure him. You should seek help from someone more capable!" Dr. Zhao Weixian spread his hands, looking helpless.

If there were a way, would he not have tried?

Moreover, five million was no small sum!

Seeing this, Su Bo pushed him aside, muttering "useless," and then looked at the crowd, shouting, "Is there anyone who can save my father? If you can cure him, I'll give you five million, and I won't go back on my word, guaranteed by the reputation of the Su family!"

"I can't do it, who can?" Dr. Zhao Weixian's face was full of disdain, though he didn't say it out loud.

The crowd looked at each other, stepping back. Joining the commotion was one thing, but none of them had the ability to step up.

Indeed, in the entire Donghai City, if even the chief neurologist Dr. Zhao Weixian couldn't do it, then no one could.

Seeing no one step forward, Su Bo felt disheartened. Just as he was about to try another approach, a sudden voice rang out, "I'll give it a try!"

Su Bo was startled, lifting his head to search for the source of the voice in the crowd.

"Cure him and get five million? I'll give it a try!"

The crowd parted to make way, and Xu Dong stepped forward with a confident stride.

Now, he held the "Heavenly Medical Profound Canon" and had clearly sensed an inexplicable mysterious power coursing through his body.

Especially in the field of medicine, Xu Dong had an inexplicable absolute confidence, and this was a good opportunity to test it.

Of course, he was also very interested in the five million.

Seeing Xu Dong's appearance as a migrant worker, Dr. Zhao Weixian looked down on him from the bottom of his heart, saying coldly, "Who are you to speak such big words? Do you know what the head of the Su family is suffering from? I advise you to weigh your own capabilities and not overestimate yourself!"

Xu Dong ignored Dr. Zhao Weixian's contempt and said calmly, "I have the confidence to cure Mr. Su."

Dr. Zhao Weixian couldn't help but laugh. As a veteran neurologist with twenty years of experience, having performed thousands of surgeries, he was confident that no one in Donghai City could surpass him in this field.

Let alone a young man, who lacked experience.

Even the chief couldn't do it, what made this young man think he could?

"Confidence? Ha, which hospital are you from?"

"I'm not a doctor, but I have studied this field," Xu Dong replied.

"Do you have a medical license?"

"No!"

"Without a medical license, you dare to practice medicine? Who gave you the nerve? Who will take responsibility if something goes wrong?"

Dr. Zhao Weixian sneered, thinking that anyone could come out and make a fuss these days.

Hearing that Xu Dong wasn't a doctor, Su Bo was also worried, looking at him skeptically, hesitant to let him proceed.

Seeing Su Bo's hesitation, Xu Dong reminded him, "Mr. Su, your father's condition can't be delayed. Since I said I have the confidence, I do. But if we delay, even a god couldn't help!"

Su Bo was swayed, asking, "Do you really have the confidence? If you're playing me, you should know the consequences."

Xu Dong nodded, "As long as you don't go back on the five million."

Seeing the situation, Dr. Zhao Weixian spoke again, "Mr. Su, this guy doesn't even have a medical license. He might have learned some quackery. You can't trust him!"

"Even I can't cure your father's condition. What can a young man do? Are you hoping for a lucky break?"

Hearing his tone, it seemed he had already given up on the old man's survival. Su Bo was furious, shouting, "Shut up! If you can't cure him, get out of here. If you dare to curse my father, don't blame me for being unfriendly!"

Seeing Su Bo's anger, Dr. Zhao Weixian was intimidated, not daring to say more, and quietly reminded, "Fine, I won't stop you, but if something goes wrong, I won't take responsibility!"

Su Bo, though angry, knew this wasn't the time to argue, and asked Xu Dong again, "Do you really have a way? You're not lying?"

"Delaying any longer will be useless," Xu Dong said calmly.

"Since that's the case, please proceed! If you can cure my father, even if it's just to stabilize his condition, I'll pay the five million without hesitation!"

Xu Dong nodded and entered the ward, walking up to Mr. Su and carefully examining his condition.

Then, a message suddenly appeared in Xu Dong's mind—

Patient's current state: Coma.

Cause: Poisoning, Heart Confusion Powder, a rare and odorless poison, difficult to detect.

Treatment: "Heavenly Medical Profound Canon" Medical Chapter—Nine Revolutions Yang Restoration Acupuncture.

"Ah, I see!"

Xu Dong understood immediately and then instructed the nurse, "Please get me a box of silver needles, quickly, no delay!"

The nurse, though puzzled, didn't hesitate and soon returned with a box of silver needles.

Seeing Xu Dong use silver needles, Dr. Zhao Weixian sneered, "You're using acupuncture? This kind of traditional Chinese medicine trick, are you trying to kill Mr. Su?"

However, Xu Dong ignored him, picking up a silver needle and swiftly inserting it into Su Shanhe's Baihui point...
