"This is impossible?!"
It wasn't only Shen Changchun who was incredulously exclaiming, his granddaughter Shen Shuyao also had her beautiful eyes wide open, watching the shocking scene inside the hospital room with disbelief.
Wang Zhengbiao, who had been essentially sentenced to death by them, was not only no longer at death's door but instead he had rosy cheeks, was full of energy, and had jumped off the hospital bed, twisting his waist left and right as he exercised on the floor.
It was as if the patient who had just been struggling on the brink of life and death wasn't him at all.
"How is this possible?!"
The grandfather and granddaughter simply could not accept the reality before their eyes.
They could not believe that a patient who had been unable to breathe on his own could be taken off his oxygen mask, pricked with a needle a few times, and then revert to the state of a normal person.
This completely overturned their worldview!
If someone had pledged just five minutes ago that a patient who had been shot near the heart, with only a 40% chance of survival through surgery, could be brought back from the brink of death in three minutes without the use of a scalpel or any other sophisticated equipment, just by acupuncture, and that the patient would be bouncing around lively,
they would have certainly slapped that person and called them crazy, accusing them of daydreaming!
But now, the fact had unfolded before their eyes, and even if they were unwilling to believe it, they had no choice but to accept that Mu Jinyu, whom they had considered a charlatan rather than a "Divine Doctor," had truly performed a miracle...
With three minutes of acupuncture, he brought a critically wounded patient back to the healthiest state.
"How did you do it?!"
Shen Changchun was so shocked he couldn't speak, while Shen Shuyao quickly recovered and excitedly stared at Mu Jinyu with gleaming eyes, urgently asking.
"Because I am the 'Divine Doctor.'" Mu Jinyu glanced at her and said calmly.
Wang Zhengbiao, who had also just regained his composure from the shock, hastily patted his chest and promised, "Doctor Mu, you saved my life, and for such a great favor, words are not enough. I'm a simple man and may not have much to say, but if you ever need anything, just order Ah-Biao around. I absolutely won't shirk, even if it means going through fire and water!"
At that moment, Wang Zhengbiao was extremely grateful that after meeting Mu Jinyu again today, he had followed Big Sister's advice and been very polite to him all along, enduring even when Mu came across as arrogant and overbearing.
Whether it was about taking 1.1 billion from him at the casino, or keeping his subordinates in check, or having his brother-in-law apologize to Mu, he had completed these tasks despite some dissatisfaction in his heart.
And his efforts and behavior finally paid off. When his own life was hanging by a thread, Mu Jinyu personally came to his aid, saving his life and leaving no lingering illness or hidden ailment.
He felt a secret fear and relief. Luckily, he had listened to Big Sister, and hadn't offended Mu Jinyu. Otherwise, he would have truly been doomed.
"You don't need to go through fire and water for me." Mu Jinyu looked back at him and said indifferently, "Treating an illness is a million, saving a life is ten million. Give me ten million yuan, and we can call it even."
"This..." Wang Zhengbiao said with a wry smile upon hearing this.
Mei Yinxue and her two trusted associates also showed strange expressions upon hearing this. As far as they were concerned, having Wang Zhengbiao owe them a life was worth much more than ten million yuan. How could ten million yuan possibly be enough to offset such a favor?
They believed that Mu Jinyu would definitely understand this fact, so why would he not want their debt of gratitude, and instead just choose to take a bit of money?
They don't understand!
Mu Jinyu, however, didn't care whether they understood or not and walked directly out of the ward, asking, "Those other seriously injured subordinates of yours, do you want me to take action? The price is the same, one million to treat an illness, ten million to save a life."
"Yes, yes, yes..." Mei Yinxue thought of what Mu Jinyu had just said—that after healing Wang Zhengbiao, he would also help look at the dozen or so seriously injured brothers—and quickly called out.
For her, ten million yuan for a life was simply too good of a deal. If they died, the compensation she would give to their families would definitely be more than that amount.
So, what was there to hesitate about?
Mu Jinyu nodded and, paying no attention to Shen Changchun and Shen Shuyao, began to walk towards those wards he had seen earlier.
Seeing this, Shen Changchun knew that he was going to save more people. His turbid old eyes twinkled, and he quickly said, "This... young brother, could you allow this old man to observe? I absolutely won't speak up and disturb you..."
Mu Jinyu ignored him, continuing to walk forward. Then he found a ward with one of the most seriously injured patients and walked in, leaving the door open behind him.
Shen Changchun and Shen Shuyao exchanged a look and, having made up their minds, also began to walk towards the ward.
"Please stop, both of you." Mei Yinxue stopped them.
"This is my clinic." Shen Shuyao said, pulling down her mask to reveal a beautiful delicate face that was no less beautiful than Mei Yinxue's, and spoke angrily, "And another thing, Sister Mei, what did I say to you when you brought people here for me to save? What are you trying to imply now?"
Shen Changchun also advised, "Ms. Mei, we mean no harm. Although the young brother didn't agree to my request, he also didn't refuse, so it's an implicit consent, right? We'll just stand at the door and observe, definitely not making a sound to disturb him. Besides, aren't you... the slightest bit curious how he uses the Silver Needle to save people?"
At his words, Mei Yinxue's expression shifted slightly. She also thought of the time when Wang Zhengbiao and a few others were ambushed and rushed over here, and how Shen Shuyao had helped to save them without a second word and also contacted Shen Changchun to come over for the rescue.
And what Shen Changchun said—she was very curious about Mu Jinyu's methods as well. As for how Mu Jinyu saved her yesterday, she had no recollection since she passed out. Today, she would have gotten the chance to see for herself if it hadn't been for Shen Changchun's outburst, causing her to miss the opportunity.
So, she was indeed very curious about how Mu Jinyu could save a critically injured patient with just a few silver needles.
She believed that Mu Jinyu wouldn't be easily disturbed when saving people; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to save her life amidst the chaotic accident scene yesterday in just a few moves.
But if he didn't want people to observe, she would never dare go against his words.
But...
In Wang Zhengbiao's ward, he had clearly asked everyone to leave, but just now, he indeed hadn't said yes, but he also hadn't said no to being observed, right?
After thinking it over, Mei Yinxue said, "Fine, we can go take a look, but we can only stand at the entrance, not step inside the ward. And if Doctor Mu shows any displeasure, we must leave immediately. Can you do that?"
"We can, we can!" Shen Shuyao nodded like a pecking chick.
Even though she was being told such terms in her own little clinic, she didn't feel the slightest displeasure. Instead, she thought it was great to have the opportunity to observe Mu Jinyu's miraculous medical skills.
