Chapter 5

"The patient's heart rate has recovered to sixty, reaching a normal level!" the nurse exclaimed in surprise.

"What?!"

Zhao Weixian's eyes were fixed on the heart rate monitor, his eyes wide open in disbelief.

"Director Li, what's going on?" Su Bo also found it hard to believe, looking at Li Deyuan and asking.

Li Deyuan nodded in acknowledgment and then explained, "This gentleman is truly a divine being! Don't worry, Old Su will be saved!"

Indeed, if Li Deyuan was not mistaken, the last needle Xu Dong inserted into Old Su's Zhongwan acupoint was the final needle of the Nine Turns to Restore Yang technique, which restores yang!

This needle causes the patient to temporarily lose their breath, but they will recover after a short while, truly a technique that brings life from death!

However, Zhao Weixian did not understand this and said in disbelief, "How is that possible? He should have been beyond saving. How could he be cured with just a few silver needles? How is that possible!"

"Zhao Weixian! Are you saying that my father should have died?!" Su Bo said angrily.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Weixian realized he had said the wrong thing and dared not say more, fearing he would offend Su Bo.

Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, Su Shanhe suddenly coughed up a large mouthful of black blood, opened his heavy eyelids, and muttered, "What's happening to me?"

"Father!" Su Bo was overjoyed, immediately kneeling by the bed and tightly gripping Su Shanhe's hand, pointing at Xu Dong and saying, "It's this divine doctor who saved you!"

"I am deeply grateful to you, sir. May I ask your name?" Su Shanhe clasped his hands in a respectful bow and asked.

"Xu Dong," Xu Dong replied.

"Ah, it's Doctor Xu!" Su Bo said, then took out a bank card from his pocket and presented it with both hands, "This is the five million yuan I promised Doctor Xu, it's all in this card!"

Xu Dong did not feign modesty and accepted it, as such a large sum could greatly improve his family's situation, and his parents would no longer have to work hard and could enjoy their retirement.

Then, as if remembering something, Su Bo asked again, "Doctor Xu, what illness did my father have? Is there any way to prevent it in the future?"

"Old Su did not have an illness but was poisoned by a rare toxin called Mind-Dazing Powder. Those who are poisoned by it will exhibit symptoms similar to a vegetative state, being completely motionless," Xu Dong explained.

"How could it be poisoning? We had already given Old Su a full-body examination, and there was no sign of poisoning!" Zhao Weixian suddenly interjected, contradicting him.

Xu Dong snorted coldly, "Ignorance! Mind-Dazing Powder is a rare toxin, colorless and odorless. Once poisoned, it is impossible to detect, and modern medical equipment cannot identify it."

Hearing Xu Dong's explanation, the onlookers at the door praised him, and Zhao Weixian had no choice but to remain silent.

"Poisoning? Could it be the Sun family?" Su Bo said thoughtfully.

Donghai City has four major families, and the Su and Sun families are two of them, both primarily engaged in the pharmaceutical industry.

As competitors, conflicts are inevitable. Recently, the pharmaceutical group under the Su family developed a new drug with excellent sales, significantly impacting the Sun family's market. It is quite possible that they were retaliating.

Moreover, the Sun family has always had a poor reputation, willing to use any means to achieve their goals, which is well-known in Donghai City. Therefore, Su Bo immediately suspected them of poisoning his father.

"Bo...," Su Shanhe looked at Su Bo meaningfully, then shook his head and said no more.

After that, he looked at Xu Dong again and thanked him, "Doctor Xu, you saved my life today. When you have time, I will host a dinner and personally invite you to my home!"

"Alright, I will accept your invitation," Xu Dong replied politely, then said to Su Bo, "Old Su's poison has not been completely removed. He will need another acupuncture session in two days. I will write a prescription to help him recover his vital energy."

Xu Dong then asked for paper and pen and wrote down a long list of Chinese herbs and the method of preparation.

"Thank you, Doctor Xu, but in two days?" Su Bo thanked him and then asked.

Xu Dong naturally understood his concern and said, "I will come to treat Old Su in two days. You don't need to worry about that."

"Great! If Doctor Xu can completely cure my father's illness, I will give you another ten million yuan as a reward!" Su Bo said firmly, not joking at all.

"Ten million!"

The onlookers were immediately surprised.

They thought five million was already a lot, but Su Bo was willing to give another ten million. No wonder the Su family is so generous!

Zhao Weixian, standing nearby, gritted his teeth and looked at Xu Dong with envy and jealousy.

However, Xu Dong did not feel anything and waved his hand, "Mr. Su, five million is enough. Let's consider it a friendship. I don't think you would mind having a friend like me, a commoner with no power or influence, right?"

"Of course not! Being friends with Doctor Xu is a great honor for me. If there's anything I can help you with in the future, just let me know, and I will not refuse!" Su Bo said, patting his chest.

Su Bo is not foolish. Xu Dong, at such a young age, has such medical skills, and in time, he will surely be extraordinary.

Li Deyuan, who witnessed everything, secretly gave Xu Dong a thumbs up. Not greedy for money and understanding how to deal with people, he will surely be someone who can achieve great things in the future.

Shortly after, professional medical staff examined Su Shanhe's body, and everything was normal.

Catching a glimpse of Zhao Weixian trying to sneak away, Su Bo said coldly, "Director Zhao, didn't you say that even experts from the capital couldn't cure my father's illness? How do you explain this now?"

"Hahaha, what a director! Not even as good as a young man, and he still has the nerve to say others are no good."

"Exactly, saying Old Su had no hope and calling Doctor Xu a fraud. What a joke. I wonder how he became a director."

Outside the ward, a chorus of mocking voices could be heard. After all, Zhao Weixian's medical ethics were notoriously poor, and seeing him humiliated, they couldn't help but curse him.

At this moment, Zhao Weixian's face alternated between green and white, feeling as if he had swallowed a fly. Knowing that speaking now would only bring more humiliation, he left in a hurry.

"Hmph, quack!" Su Bo cursed, then faced Xu Dong and handed him a business card, saying respectfully, "Doctor Xu, this is my business card. Please accept it!"

Xu Dong took it and, upon seeing "President of Huafeng Pharmaceutical Group" written on it, couldn't help but smile.

Seeing this, Su Bo continued, "Doctor Xu, there is a banquet at Mingzhu Hotel tomorrow evening. I wonder if you would honor us with your presence?"

Xu Dong naturally did not refuse. He thought it would be a good opportunity to meet important people and expand his network, so he agreed, "No problem."

Su Bo was overjoyed, "Great! I will come to pick you up myself tomorrow evening!"

Xu Dong waved his hand, "I will come on my own tomorrow evening. No need to trouble you, Mr. Su."

Su Bo did not insist.

"Mr. Xu, I am the president of the Donghai City Medical Association. I sincerely invite you to join our association. What do you think?" Li Deyuan stepped forward and extended the invitation.

"The Medical Association! I didn't expect Director Li to value him so much. He's just a young man!" a doctor in the ward couldn't help but exclaim.

"Yes, I didn't expect him to invite him to join the Medical Association. This is no small matter!" another doctor agreed, his words filled with envy.

The Donghai City Medical Association is not just any organization. Even a renowned doctor like Zhao Weixian only gained eligibility to be nominated this year, showing how strict the membership criteria are.

But now, just because Xu Dong saved Su Shanhe, Li Deyuan invited him to join the Medical Association. How could this not be surprising?

Xu Dong clasped his hands, "If that's the case, I will accept your invitation!"

Regaining his life, he would not miss any opportunity to expand his network.

Li Deyuan was overjoyed, "Great, I will arrange it right away!"

Xu Dong nodded and then said to Su Bo, "Mr. Su, Old Su's illness is not fully cured. Follow the prescription I gave you and take the medicine on time. I will come to treat him again in two days, and he will surely recover."

"Thank you, Doctor Xu!"

"Please let Old Su rest and recover. I have some matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now!"

Xu Dong then left without delay, and Li Deyuan saw him off at the door.

However, just as he reached the door, Xu Dong saw his father, Xu Weiguo, standing there, looking at him in shock.
