The woman lying on the hospital bed had a pale face, not particularly beautiful, but it was indeed Huang Qiuhua—who had once encountered Mu Jinyu, not very familiar but with a deeply impressive impression.
Mu Jinyu quickly realized why these people had captured her and was somewhat caught between laughter and tears.
Looking at Huang Qiuhua's condition, it was clear she was still trapped by the "dark energy" inflicted by Mu Jinyu, hence unable to explain to her subordinates that her injuries were caused by Mu Jinyu.
Huang Qiuhua had repeatedly caused trouble for Mei Yinxue, which Mu Jinyu had time and again foiled, leading Huang Qiuhua to finally approach Mu Jinyu, hoping Mu Jinyu would work under her. Her subordinates, of course, were well aware that Mu Jinyu was a Divine Doctor.
Because Huang Qiuhua did not clarify that she was injured by Mu Jinyu, her subordinates, after being unsuccessful in finding another doctor, had no choice but to turn to Mu Jinyu to save their boss's life.
This kind of misunderstanding caused by an unfortunate coincidence was really...
Wonderful.
Otherwise, if those few knew that their boss had been beaten into this state by Mu Jinyu, their approach would definitely not have been as polite as before, nor would they have had so few precautions.
In that case, it would be of great help to Mu Jinyu's subsequent escape.
"How is it? With your abilities, can you save our Big Sister?"
The leader held a gun to Mu Jinyu's back and asked.
"Yes."
Mu Jinyu spoke calmly, her voice deceptively serene.
But her eyes quietly flashed a hint of cold light.
How could Mu Jinyu let go of her prejudices and do her best to save someone who had repeatedly threatened her with a gun?
Moreover, Huang Qiuhua was considered her enemy!
However, now was not the time to turn against them right away. After all, though Mu Jinyu was a Master of Energy Transformation, no matter how skilled a martial artist she was, she could be overcome by sheer force, let alone when the adversary was armed with a gun.
There were not a few Grandmasters who had been killed in the chaos of gunfire over the years.
No sooner had Mu Jinyu spoken than the leader, eyeing her back, motioned for her to go and save Huang Qiuhua.
Mu Jinyu walked over calmly and sat by the edge of the bed. She then took out the package of silver needles from her pocket.
Choosing a three-inch long, glimmering silver needle, Mu Jinyu began to treat Huang Qiuhua under the coercive watch of the crowd.
After just a few needles, Huang Qiuhua, who had been lying motionless on the hospital bed, suddenly trembled in her arms.
"She's moving, she's moving."
"Truly a Divine Doctor."
The subordinates, upon witnessing this, excitedly exclaimed in surprise.
Mu Jinyu continued to administer the acupuncture. Hearing their exclamations, the corner of her mouth slightly curled into a cold smile.
With a few more needles, Huang Qiuhua on the bed let out a soft moan and her eyes flickered open.
"She's awake, our Big Sister is awake!"
"This is wonderful, befitting a Divine Doctor indeed, the ten million yuan was worth it."
The group was overjoyed to see Huang Qiuhua regain consciousness.
However, Huang Qiuhua lying on the hospital bed was far from sharing their joy.
Though her consciousness had been restored, she couldn't move her hands or feet, or even her mouth. Probably the only part she could move were her eyeballs.
As she lay on the bed, Huang Qiuhua watched Mu Jinyu administer the needles, her eyes filled with endless terror.
"Don't come over here!!"
She screamed in her heart.
Her subordinates didn't know that she had been injured by Mu Jinyu, but as the person involved who had not been rendered an idiot by the attack, how could she forget?
Watching Mu Jinyu treating her, yet only restoring her consciousness and eye movement, Huang Qiuhua realized that under her own coercion, Mu Jinyu wasn't truly intent on saving her.
How ridiculous that her own subordinates were still cheering for his treatment, oblivious to the fact that this time, she was likely unable to escape her fate.
Huang Qiuhua felt somewhat desperate.
At that moment, Mu Jinyu took out five more Silver Needles and continued to apply acupuncture, then deliberately inserted one into the wrong acupoint.
"Ah!"
Instantly, Huang Qiuhua couldn't help but let out a pained groan, her arm jolted up, trembling erratically, like a strand of seaweed!
"What's wrong? What happened?!"
Seeing this, Huang Qiuhua's subordinates became anxious and asked repeatedly.
Mu Jinyu stopped applying needles, turned around with a panic-stricken expression, and, with a downcast face, said, "Sorry, sorry, it wasn't intentional. I was just too nervous and carelessly made a mistake with the needle."
Hearing this, they looked at each other with hesitation in their eyes.
Although Mu Jinyu had not explicitly said the reason for his nervousness and the error with the needle, it was clear that anyone who was being coerced to save a life, with four guns aimed at vital spots, even an experienced professor could easily make a mistake.
After some thought, they looked at Huang Qiuhua, who appeared as if she was suffering an epileptic seizure, and figured that Mu Jinyu probably wouldn't run away. So, they lowered their weapons and apologized to Mu Jinyu, "Divine Doctor, we're sorry for the offense earlier. Please forgive us, we were just too worried about Big Sister's..."
They didn't finish their sentence.
As soon as Mu Jinyu saw them lower their guns, his mournful expression vanished, replaced by a cold smirk. The four Silver Needles he held between his fingers shot out suddenly!
"Shoo, shoo, shoo!"
The Silver Needles precisely hit their acupoints, and immediately, their eyes bulged. They then uncontrollably collapsed backward!
They didn't die, but like Huang Qiuhua, they became paralyzed, unable to move; however, their consciousness was still clear, so they weren't considered vegetative.
"Heh heh, still daring to coerce and scheme against me!"
Mu Jinyu said coldly as he watched them fall.
Afterward, he dusted his hands, got up from the edge of Huang Qiuhua's bed, took out his phone, and called Mei Yinxue.
"Hello, Jinyu, what's up?"
The call connected quickly, and Mei Yinxue asked.
Mu Jinyu replied with a smile, "Nothing much, just wanted to ask you something: have you found your archenemy, that 'chrysanthemum' lately?"
"What chrysanthemum?"
Mei Yinxue was initially puzzled, but then realized that Mu Jinyu must be referring to Huang Qiuhua, and couldn't help but feel a mix of amusement and frustration, replying, "Haven't found her yet, and there's been no news either. She might have left River City by now. Why do you ask?"
Mu Jinyu chuckled, "If I had news of that 'chrysanthemum,' would there be a reward for me?"
He was still thinking of trading Huang Qiuhua to Mei Yinxue for a reward.
Although Mei Yinxue had never stated how much money would be offered for capturing Huang Qiuhua, he felt it had to be worth at least a few million yuan.
Mu Jinyu felt a bit disappointed that Mei Yinxue managed to escape last time, but now, since she sought her own doom, he had no choice but to gladly accept.
"You have news about her?"
Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, Mei Yinxue asked with a mixture of surprise and delight.
Mu Jinyu didn't deny it, replying, "Yes, if there's a reward, I'll come and personally capture her for you."
Upon hearing this, Mei Yinxue grew anxious and quickly urged, "No need for you to personally capture her. It's too dangerous. Just tell me, and I'll send someone to capture her. As for the reward, I'll make sure you're more than satisfied..."
Huang Qiuhua, lying on the hospital bed unable to move, overheard Mu Jinyu's conversation. Her eyes nearly shot flames, realizing that this time, she had truly fallen.
