It was clear that this old man's support for Xiaoma's business was significant. If he could cure the old man, both the director and the old man would be very grateful to Xiaoma.
"I have it. I have a set of treasures at home, passed down from my ancestors." The old man turned and walked towards his bedroom.
Soon, the old man came out of his bedroom, holding a brocade box. When Xiaotian saw the box, he knew that it was definitely not an ordinary item.
"You can't let him do this. Who knows if he's one of those fraudsters from the streets," the old man's nurse doctor intervened.
"I am doing this voluntarily." Although it was the first time the old man had met Xiaotian, he had great faith in Xiaotian's abilities.
"No, absolutely not. If he treats you with acupuncture, I will call the police," the old man's nurse doctor threatened. He was the Xiang family's nurse doctor, responsible for taking care of the old man every day, and he would not allow a stranger to treat the old man.
He received a generous salary every month.
He would not allow anyone to take away his job. Now, the old man actually started to trust an outsider. Regardless of whether this young man could cure the old man, he was already a threat to him. If this young man cured the old man's illness, he would lose his job. If he failed, the old man would die, and he would still lose his job. Although the old man only had one or two years left to live, this period was enough for him to earn a substantial amount of money.
"Doctor Guo, what do you mean? When did you start making decisions for this family?" The old man looked at the nurse doctor with dissatisfaction.
"Old man, you misunderstood. I am concerned about your safety," Doctor Guo hurriedly explained, then looked at Xiaotian, "Do you have a hospital or clinic of your own?"
"No," Xiaotian said calmly.
"Do you have a medical license?" Doctor Guo asked again.
"No," Xiaotian said.
"You have nothing. How can you treat the old man? I suspect you are a fraud. I will call the police," Doctor Guo took out his phone.
Xiaotian looked at the man's actions and shook his head helplessly.
"Doctor Guo, what are you doing? It was me who asked Brother Xia to treat me," the old man frowned.
"No, I am your nurse doctor. I cannot allow an unknown person to treat you," Doctor Guo strongly opposed.
"You are going too far." The old man shouted angrily, "From today on, you are fired."
"Uh!" Hearing the old man's words, Doctor Guo was slightly stunned, then continued, "Old man, I was hired by Director Xiang. Even if you fire me, you need to talk to Director Xiang. Moreover, I am protecting your safety. I believe that even if Director Xiang were here, he would support me."
"Rubbish, I am his father, and I make the decisions in this family," the old man was really angry.
"Old man, I think we should inform Director Xiang," Xiaoma looked at the old man and said. He trusted Xiaotian; if Xiaotian said he could do it, he definitely could. However, in the field of medicine, even the most advanced technology could not guarantee a 100% success rate. If anything happened to the old man, Xiaotian would be in trouble. He did not want to harm Xiaotian because of his business.
"It seems I have been too lenient these past few years." The old man's expression turned cold as he looked at Doctor Guo, "Will you leave on your own, or do I need to have someone throw you out?"
Hearing the old man's words, the servants and security guards all stepped forward.
"Fine, I'll leave." Doctor Guo glared at Xiaotian fiercely.
"Brother Xia, I am really sorry about what just happened," the old man said to Xiaotian.
"Old man, we should inform Director Xiang about this. My brother is not a doctor. If anything goes wrong..."
"I see you are worried about this. I will write a letter. If anything happens, it will have nothing to do with Brother Xia." The old man really wrote a letter.
"Let's start."
Xiaotian opened the box, and twelve silver needles lay flat inside. As soon as he opened the box, he felt a strong herbal scent. The twelve needles seemed to have a spirit of their own.
"Divine Needles of Bian Que!" Xiaotian looked at the twelve silver needles in the box in surprise.
"You have good eyes, but these are not the real Divine Needles of Bian Que. The real ones could not have been preserved to this day. These are the result of Bian Que's descendants nurturing them for decades based on ancient records," the old man said calmly.
"Indeed, they are treasures. With their help, I believe I can cure your illness in no more than a month," Xiaotian said confidently.
"A month!" The old man's eyes lit up.
"About that. Although you have many illnesses, the root cause is the loss of vitality in your body, which prevents it from resisting external diseases. If I can re-activate the cells in your body, your body will be able to recover on its own." Xiaotian's treatment method was different from that of the hospital. The hospital could only gradually weaken the body's antibodies, but Xiaotian could strengthen them to fight the disease.
Everyone in the room held their breath, including Xiaoma.
The silver needles in Xiaotian's hands seemed to come to life, like snakes emerging from their dens. They quickly inserted into the old man's head, a total of twelve needles. Xiaotian carefully inserted them one by one into the old man's back.
The whole process took less than two minutes, but Xiaotian was drenched in sweat and panting heavily.
"Are you okay?" Xiaoma rushed forward to support Xiaotian.
"I'm fine, just very tired." Xiaotian felt that those two minutes were more exhausting than three hours of training.
Seeing the old man sitting motionless, no one dared to disturb him.
"This..." Xiaoma looked at the old man in confusion and turned to Xiaotian.
"Don't worry, the effect is even better than expected. Just wait ten minutes," Xiaotian sat on the sofa, and the ancient Buddha relic in his dantian replenished his energy.
The room was abnormally quiet, and no one dared to disturb the old man.
"Everyone in the room, release the hostages and surrender your weapons immediately," the sound of police cars came from outside the villa.
"What are these police doing? It's as if there's a robber here," Xiaoma stood up and walked outside.
"Put your hands up, or we will shoot."
"Officer, it's him. He has an accomplice inside," Doctor Guo said, following a police officer.
