Yang Jitong was greatly startled. Could it be that this young man in front of him was not boasting after all, and actually knew the Azure Dragon Acupoint Technique?
He held his breath and watched Lu Ming, half-believing, half-doubting.
Following that, Lu Ming provided a live demonstration, personally showing how to perform the Azure Dragon Acupoint Technique.
The needling technique Lu Ming employed looked similar to Yang Jitong's previous attempt, but the depth of each insertion differed, and the trajectory of the acupoints displayed intricate variations.
Lu Ming adjusted the needle's path based on the changes in Jiang Lan's physical condition, making the entire needling process appear ever-changing and treacherous.
Yang Jitong was initially dismissive, but as he watched, he exclaimed in wonder! He was deeply impressed by Lu Ming's medical skills.
Yang Jitong secretly mused: Could it be that this needling technique was indeed passed down by him to the Medical Immortal?
But... how was that possible?
The Medical Immortal was such an esteemed figure; why would they learn medical skills from a mere security guard?
Yang Jitong was conflicted.
Lu Ming's medical skills were clearly several levels above Yang Jitong's. The entire needling process was smooth and effortless. In just ten minutes, all the silver needles were inserted.
Looking at Jiang Lan again, she was breathing steadily. She had been saved!
"Impressive, truly impressive," Yang Jitong couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
At that moment.
With a loud bang, the intensive care unit door was kicked open. Jiang Mengxin was the first to rush in, grabbing Lu Ming by his collar and shouting, "You bastard, what did you do to my sister?"
Jiang Mengxin raised her hand to strike him.
Suddenly, Jiang Lan, who had been 'pronounced' dead, slowly opened her eyes and called out, "Sister~~"
Jiang Mengxin was shocked. She looked down to see her sister had indeed woken up!
"Little sister!"
She hugged Jiang Lan tightly, overjoyed.
Yang Jitong then spoke, "President Jiang, you've misunderstood this young man. He didn't harm your sister; instead, he used Miao territory witchcraft to resolve the blood stasis in your sister's body, and then..."
"What? Witchcraft?" Jiang Mengxin's brows furrowed. She glared at Lu Ming and demanded, "You actually cast a spell on my sister?"
Lu Ming smiled wryly, "It wasn't a spell, it was..."
"No need to explain!" Jiang Mengxin said. "Lu Ming, you truly live up to your reputation as a cemetery watchman, resorting to all sorts of unorthodox methods. I'm telling you, if anything is ever wrong with my sister in the future, you'll be the first one I won't spare."
Lu Ming shook his head and said nothing more, getting up to leave the ward.
All he wanted was to protect the Jiang family, to repay his mentor Jiang Dingbian for saving his life and nurturing him.
Everything else was unimportant.
Zhao Donglai, however, felt a surge of indignation. He sidled up to Lu Ming and whispered, "Isn't this bullying? Brother Ming, you kindly saved the second young lady, and yet President Jiang not only doesn't thank you but also berates you?"
Lu Ming chuckled, not taking it to heart.
Compared to this, he was more concerned about who had caused Jiang Lan's accident.
First, they instigated Wonderful Ray Bank to pressure the Jiang Corporation to repay loans, and then they engineered a car accident that nearly killed Jiang Lan. If the mastermind behind this wasn't dealt with, the Jiang family would never have peace.
Several hours later.
After meticulous care, Jiang Lan's health had significantly recovered. With Jiang Mengxin's support, she got into a car, ready to go home.
Jiang Mengxin waved goodbye to Cheng Hai, "Senior, thank you so much today. First, you helped me pay the three hundred million loan, and then you invited Elder Yang to cure my sister. I will never forget your great kindness."
Cheng Hai smiled, "Anything for you is worth it, Mengxin. You don't need to dwell on it."
"Then, Senior, I'll be heading home now."
"Alright, drive safely."
Jiang Mengxin started the engine, and just as she was about to drive off, Jiang Lan suddenly spoke, "Sister, aren't you taking brother-in-law home with us?"
Jiang Mengxin's expression immediately turned cold, and she said icily, "Little sister, listen carefully. First, he and I only have an engagement, we haven't registered our marriage, and he's not your brother-in-law yet. Second, Mom has already arranged for him to stay in the company dormitory, so he doesn't need to come home with us."
With that, she stepped on the accelerator and sped away.
After Jiang Mengxin's car had driven far away, Cheng Hai took out a cigarette, lit it, and walked up to Lu Ming.
He took a drag and sneered at Lu Ming, "Kid, Jiang Mengxin is the woman I have my eyes on, my future Mrs. Cheng. You'd best be smart, break off the engagement yourself, and get out of Jinling. Otherwise, this time next year, your grave grass might be three meters high."
Cheng Hai made a throat-slitting gesture at Lu Ming and then left, laughing maniacally.
Zhao Donglai, standing by, sighed and walked over to Lu Ming, "Alas, these rich people always act so high and mighty. Brother Ming, if it's really unbearable, you should probably lay low."
Lu Ming chuckled and patted Zhao Donglai on the shoulder, "Do I, your Brother Ming, look like someone who's easily bullied?"
Zhao Donglai shrugged, "Brother Ming, you're capable, and you fight well, but this society values money above all else. No matter how strong you are, you can't fight against money or power."
Lu Ming said, "Then let's make a bet, brother. Within a month, your Brother Ming will make Cheng Hai infamous and ruin his family!"
...
On the wide asphalt road, a car sped rapidly.
Inside the car.
Jiang Lan watched the scenery blur past the window and said, "Sister, isn't your attitude towards brother-in-law a bit too harsh? After all, he was the one who saved me today."
Jiang Mengxin let out a cold laugh, "He saved you? Bullshit! It was clearly Elder Yang's Azure Dragon Acupoint Technique that miraculously saved you. And little sister, you should pay close attention recently, see if there's anything unusual about your body. I'm really worried that bastard might have cursed you."
Jiang Lan also said, "Alas, older sister, I think you're just biased against brother-in-law. But you are overly respectful towards Cheng Hai, which I find perplexing. I've advised you before that this man is two-faced, he puts on one act in front of you and another behind your back. You shouldn't get too close to him."
Jiang Mengxin smiled, "You're the one with the prejudice! Senior has always been very good to me. Today, he even paid three hundred million out of his own pocket to cover the Jiang family's loan. How righteous!"
"Is that so? Heh heh." Jiang Lan narrowed her eyes and said, "As far as I know, Cheng Hai's company is in dire straits, barely able to survive itself. Where would he get three hundred million to pay for us?"
Jiang Mengxin said, "But the fact is, Senior paid it for us! Otherwise, who else would help us?"
Jiang Lan said, "Could it be... brother-in-law?"
"Him?" Jiang Mengxin laughed, "He might have three hundred million in ghost money, but three hundred million in real currency? He'd have to sell himself!"
Jiang Lan sighed and looked at the large patch of dark clouds in the sky, saying, "None of this is important. What's important is that the Jiang family has been plagued by misfortune recently. It must be enemies plotting behind the scenes. And this enemy has considerable power. Unless we find and eliminate this enemy, the Jiang family's disaster will not end."
...
Hospital.
Lu Ming saw that it was getting late and prepared to return to the staff dormitory to rest. Suddenly, a voice called out to him from behind.
"Little brother!"
Lu Ming turned around and saw the highly respected physician, Yang Jitong, walking towards him.
Yang Jitong said with a smile, "Little brother, are you free tonight?"
Lu Ming nodded, "Elder Yang needs something?"
Yang Jitong said, "Yes, something very important, and I need your help, little brother."
"Oh? What is it?"
"A matter of great importance concerning the very lifeline of Jinling! It's not convenient to talk here. Come, little brother, I'll treat you to a meal at the hotel, and we can chat over dinner."
