Magic City, hospital.
When Lu Ming arrived at the hospital, it was already heavily surrounded by guards, making it impossible for ordinary people to enter.
Only when Liang Jiadong appeared did the guards quickly clear the way.
Under Liang Jiadong's escort, they arrived at the intensive care unit and saw the critically ill Mayor Liang Ren of Magic City, who was on the verge of death.
Although Lu Ming had performed emergency treatment on Liang Ren yesterday, it had not completely cured his illness.
All the doctors stepped aside. Lu Ming walked directly to the sickbed, conducted a detailed examination of Liang Ren, and then said to Liang Jiadong, "Everyone get out. I need to acupuncture Mayor Liang alone."
The doctors and nurses frowned.
This request was a bit excessive.
If it were an ordinary person, it might be understandable, but this was the Mayor of Magic City, a high-ranking official! How could they allow you to be alone with the mayor?
What if you intended to harm the mayor?
The doctor said, "We will not interfere with your treatment. Feel free to perform acupuncture and don't worry about us."
Lu Ming shook his head, "No, what I need to do next requires absolute quiet and cannot have the slightest interference. Even if you don't speak, just standing here is a disturbance. Get out, all of you!"
The doctors and nurses were quite displeased. What kind of peculiar request was this?
They had never heard of clearing everyone out for a medical treatment. Was his acupuncture technique some secret art that couldn't be seen by others?
The doctor said to Liang Jiadong, "Minister Liang, you must not believe this charlatan's nonsense. If we all leave, what if he harms Mayor Liang?"
Before he finished speaking.
Lu Ming sneered, "In Mayor Liang's current condition, does he still need me to harm him? If I truly wished for Mayor Liang's death, I wouldn't need to do anything. I could just stand by and watch you incompetent people scramble aimlessly?"
"You!!!" The doctor was rendered speechless, wanting to retort but finding no way to do so.
Immediately.
Liang Jiadong quickly made a judgment.
He said, "Everyone, obey my orders, withdraw from the intensive care unit, and not a single person is allowed to stay!"
The doctor said anxiously, "Minister Liang, this is not advisable."
"Get out!" Liang Jiadong roared.
The doctor stomped his foot resentfully and left the intensive care unit unwillingly. The other nurses also left, and finally, Liang Jiadong walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.
To be safe, Liang Jiadong also instructed all doctors and nurses to stay away from the intensive care unit, not even allowing them to approach.
Then Liang Jiadong stood guard in the corridor.
The following period was a torturous wait. Liang Jiadong was on pins and needles, unsure if Lu Ming was capable. What if Lu Ming couldn't cure Liang Ren, or even worse, caused his death? Who would be responsible?
The doctors and nurses were waiting to watch a show, eager for Lu Ming's failure so they could attack him collectively.
Time ticked by.
One hour, two hours, three hours.
This treatment took a very long time, much longer than the treatment on the main road yesterday, which indicated the severity of Liang Ren's illness.
It also showed how dedicated Lu Ming was to this treatment.
Finally, after three hours and forty-six minutes, the door of the intensive care unit opened, and Lu Ming walked out, covered in sweat, his face looking somewhat sallow.
One could feel how much effort Lu Ming had exerted to complete this treatment.
Liang Jiadong asked nervously, "How is it, Mr. Lu? How is my uncle?"
The doctors and nurses also crowded around, craning their necks, eager to know Liang Ren's current condition.
Lu Ming showed a victorious smile.
Without a word, he simply gestured towards the sickbed in the intensive care unit.
Liang Jiadong followed his gaze and saw Liang Ren sitting on the sickbed, propped against the pillows. Although he looked extremely tired and haggard, he had regained consciousness.
"Uncle!"
Liang Jiadong shouted and rushed over, grasping Liang Ren's hand.
The doctors and nurses also crowded around.
"Incredible, incredible! He actually managed to cure him. This kid has some skills."
"Mayor Liang suffered a relapse of heart disease. It should have been impossible to save him. How did he do it? It's truly miraculous."
"No wonder he didn't let us watch. Was he afraid we'd steal his technique?"
"Alas, if I had such powerful skills, I wouldn't let you see either."
These people spoke with conviction.
In reality, Lu Ming simply didn't want them to disturb him. Moreover, during this treatment, Lu Ming had used eight different acupuncture techniques, each one extremely complex.
Even if Lu Ming had allowed them to watch, they wouldn't have been able to learn it.
Lu Ming walked back to the bedside and instructed, "Minister Liang, please take good care of Mayor Liang. Although his heart condition is no longer a major issue, his body is still weak and requires good recuperation."
Liang Jiadong was filled with gratitude, "Thank you, Mr. Lu. I will repay you handsomely. Rest assured, as long as I am here, your Jiang family's 996 project will not encounter any further obstacles."
"En?"
Liang Ren frowned and asked, "Jiadong, what do you mean by that?"
Then, Liang Jiadong recounted what Jia Zheng and his son Jia Guowei had done. Upon hearing this, Liang Ren became furious.
Liang Ren, with a scowl, said, "That damned Jia Zheng, taking advantage of my illness, usurped power and acted recklessly. Jiadong, fire him immediately!"
Liang Jiadong nodded, "Yes, I will."
...
At the same time, the Ma family.
Jiang Mengxin and Xiao Zhan rushed directly to the Ma family and met with Ma Tengyun again. They were all beaming with happiness.
The 996 project was reopened, and Jia Guowei was imprisoned.
Double happiness!
Ma Tengyun said joyfully, "I thought all my life's efforts would be in vain. I never expected that heaven would be so kind, and that scoundrel Jia Guowei would lock himself up."
Xiao Zhan said, "Speaking of which, we all have to thank Lu Ming. If he hadn't managed to latch onto Mayor Liang, how would we have had a chance to turn things around?"
Jiang Mengxin heard this and was quite displeased.
She snorted coldly and said, "He's just a sycophant who clings to the powerful. Why thank him? Even if we gained some benefits today because of him, I still look down on him!"
Jiang Mengxin's hatred for Lu Ming was etched deep in her bones.
She continued, "Besides, will Mayor Liang always help him? Heh, after this one instance, he'll have no further connection with Lu Ming. Won't Lu Ming be a useless person again? Strength comes from oneself. We should use Lu Ming as a negative example and never learn from him! What we need to do is create a better future with our own hands, not be someone's lackey!"
