The students all looked at Robert, their eyes filled with admiration.
"He is the god of surgery, Mr. Robert!"
"I heard his surgery fees are over a million, and the appointments for him to perform surgery are already booked for the year after next!"
"With Mr. Robert personally intervening, Guo Danrong's leg is saved."
Robert walked down the stairs and came before Guo Danrong. He gently rolled up her trouser leg and carefully examined the injury.
Guo Danrong endured the pain.
She pleaded, "Mr. Robert, please, you must cure my leg. I don't want to be crippled."
Robert smiled and said, "Don't worry. I am the world's most outstanding surgical expert, unlike those quacks who only know how to deceive people with Traditional Chinese Medicine."
Hearing this, Guo Danrong felt much relieved.
She firmly believed that Robert could cure her.
But the result…
After his examination, Robert looked at Guo Danrong with great confusion and asked, "Are you… suffering from osteoporosis?"
Guo Danrong nodded. "Yes."
"Alas…" Robert sighed and said, "Your leg injury would have been easy to treat, but unfortunately, due to your osteoporosis, the leg injury cannot be healed. I'm sorry, your leg cannot be cured. You will have to spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair."
What?
No way?
Guo Danrong's mental defenses were completely shattered, and she burst into tears.
In just a few minutes, her body and mind had suffered a tremendous blow simultaneously.
If any other doctor had said this, Guo Danrong wouldn't have believed it, but coming from Robert, it was like a royal decree, unchangeable.
If Robert said it couldn't be cured, then it truly couldn't be cured.
The principal, teachers, and classmates all cast sympathetic glances at Guo Danrong.
At this moment.
A student grabbed Wang Daomin by the collar and angrily cursed, "You old bastard, this is all your doing! You quacks and parasites who harm people, you usually fool the public with your Traditional Chinese Medicine, and now you've assaulted our student council president! You are all despicable!"
Other students chimed in.
The crowd also surrounded Lu Ming and Qiao Ling.
Demanding an explanation.
"Harmful Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners, not only do you envy Western medicine, but you also use such despicable means to injure our student council president. How do you explain this?"
"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth! Let's just break their legs and get justice for Guo Danrong!"
Some students impulsively picked up stools, intending to break Wang Daomin and Lu Ming's legs.
It was to avenge Guo Danrong.
It was also to settle their own grudges, to defeat these feudal and superstitious TCM practitioners.
Seeing that the situation was about to spiral out of control.
No matter how loudly Qiao Ling tried to persuade them, the students wouldn't listen.
A student raised a stool and swung it towards Qiao Ling's leg, "Harmful TCM practitioner, I'll break your leg now!"
At the critical moment.
Lu Ming pulled Qiao Ling away, then kicked out, sending the student flying seven or eight meters.
Qiao Ling broke out in a cold sweat and said gratefully to Lu Ming, "Thank you."
Lu Ming walked directly towards Guo Danrong. The students thought he was going to do something bad and quickly moved to stop him; however, Lu Ming's skills and strength far surpassed their imagination. In the blink of an eye, he had taken down more than ten students.
When Lu Ming reached Guo Danrong, she was pale with fear and asked tremblingly, "What… what do you want to do?"
Lu Ming wasted no words and squatted down to examine the injury.
In just 3 seconds, Lu Ming saw through it.
He chuckled and said, "Such a minor injury, easily healed with Traditional Chinese Medicine, yet Western medicine claims it can't be cured. What kind of logic is this?"
What?
The students were stunned.
Following that, the entire room looked at them with disdain.
"What nonsense is he talking? An injury that Mr. Robert said couldn't be cured, and he dares to boast that it can be healed easily? Is he out of his mind?"
"This is how they are in Traditional Chinese Medicine, all talk and no action!"
"Seeing him makes me sick. Let's call the police and arrest these harmful TCM practitioners!"
Lu Ming ignored their chatter and took hold of Guo Danrong's leg.
Guo Danrong still wanted to struggle and resist.
Lu Ming said calmly, "If you don't want to spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair, then stay still."
Guo Danrong froze.
Although she didn't believe in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and although she firmly believed in Robert's words, at this moment, she still wanted to try. After all, trying wouldn't hurt.
At worst, she would be permanently disabled.
Thus, under everyone's watchful eyes, Lu Ming held Guo Danrong's leg with one hand and her foot with the other, then twisted them three times in an extremely peculiar posture.
Crack, crack, crack.
The leg bones made strange sounds.
Some students shook their heads and said, "It's over, it's over. Her leg was already broken, and now it's broken even more thoroughly."
But to everyone's surprise, Lu Ming then said, "Your leg is fine now. Stand up and walk a few steps to test the feeling."
Everyone burst into laughter.
"What stupid words are these?"
"Guo Danrong's leg is broken, and he's asking her to stand up and walk?"
"Keep lying, keep lying!"
Everyone thought Lu Ming was bragging, but to their utter astonishment, Guo Danrong actually slowly got up. She could stand!
What's more, Guo Danrong actually walked a few steps, just as Lu Ming had said!
"I'm fine now. My leg doesn't hurt anymore. I can walk."
Guo Danrong shed tears of happiness.
Lu Ming dusted off his sleeves and said, "You have congenital osteoporosis. You should pay attention to supplementing calcium in the future and avoid strenuous exercise."
Guo Danrong nodded repeatedly, her heart full of emotion.
If it hadn't been for Lu Ming's intervention, she would have spent the rest of her life in a wheelchair.
Guo Danrong now looked at Lu Ming with deep respect and gratitude.
However…
Guo Danrong was also filled with confusion and said, "Didn't Mr. Robert just say my leg couldn't be cured? Mr. Lu Ming, how did you cure me?"
Lu Ming smiled.
He looked at Robert and said, "Traditional Chinese Medicine has thousands of years of heritage, naturally possessing many methods and techniques for treating difficult illnesses! Student Guo, listen carefully. It's not that foreign things are necessarily better. Traditional Chinese Medicine is not some feudal dross! Many times, conditions that Western medicine cannot solve, our Traditional Chinese Medicine can! Traditional Chinese Medicine is a precious treasure left to us by our ancestors. Don't squander it carelessly in the future."
Every word was like a pearl, every sentence like a thunderclap.
Guo Danrong, upon hearing this, felt so ashamed she could have sunk into the ground.
In the past, she had looked down on Traditional Chinese Medicine, believing it to be unscientific feudal dross, something that deceived people, and that only Western medicine was true medicine.
But ironically.
The leg that Western medicine couldn't cure, Traditional Chinese Medicine had healed.
How ironic.
How much of a slap in the face.
Guo Danrong lowered her head and bowed deeply to Lu Ming, saying, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu. I was superficial before."
