Chapter 5 _1

The old man's gaze was intense.

"Divine Doctor Song!" The doctor, seeing the old man, quickly showed a respectful demeanor.

The old man named Song Tianming was an honorary professor and physician at the hospital, specialized in traditional Chinese medicine, particularly in the field of acupuncture. He was second to none domestically.

Even the director had to lower his stance in front of him.

Song Tianming nodded slightly. His eyes never left Ye Ming.

Curiously, the doctor asked, "Divine Doctor Song, what is 'The Immortal Needle'?"

Song Tianming explained, "The Immortal Needle is a technique of acupuncture that is said to have miraculous effects of bringing the dead back to life."

"I once read about it in an ancient medical text that only had half its pages left, and the description matches exactly the technique this young man used."

"To use this technique, one needs a thorough understanding of acupuncture because it involves targeting vital points. A tiny misstep could mean the difference between life and death."

Song Tianming's words garnered considerable attention.

Zhao Minghai's face changed.

He said anxiously, "Divine Doctor Song, could you have made a mistake? You mentioned that this technique has long been lost. How could this kid possibly know it?"

Song Tianming, being a meticulous person, wouldn't speak recklessly about things he wasn't sure of. "I'm not sure, but it does look very similar."

Zhao Minghai breathed a sigh of relief. "Then it must be fake! If it were real, why hasn't his mother shown any reaction yet?"

Just as he finished speaking,

Jiang Rou suddenly sat up from the bed.

A mouthful of dirty blood sprayed out.

Her complexion became visibly rosier at a noticeable speed.

Ye Ming supported her and then slowly laid Jiang Rou back down. Although she was still unconscious, her breathing had stabilized, and she seemed much improved.

As Ye Ming collected the needles, he rubbed Jiang Rou's broken ribs.

Accompanied by a series of "crack" sounds,

the broken bones all snapped back into place.

"What a brilliant Bone Setting Technique!" Song Tianming couldn't help but exclaim.

At that moment,

the onlookers also voiced waves of amazement.

"This person has been cured, hasn't he?"

"Since it's from Divine Doctor Song, it looks like he is cured!"

"So this guy really has some skills!"

"Amazing!"

Public opinion switched in an instant, but Zhao Minghai's face twisted unbearably, his eyes filled with jealousy.

At that moment, Ye Ming looked up at Zhao Minghai, "Are you willing to accept the loss?"

Zhao Minghai's face turned red, his expression growing even more distorted. He said coldly, "Okay! I admit you have some skills, but that doesn't mean my treatment was wrong, does it?"

Ye Ming raised an eyebrow. "So, you're thinking of reneging?"

Seeing the agreement that Ye Ming pulled out, Zhao Minghai was infuriated.

He had basically shot himself in the foot!

"I won't renege, but I'm not convinced!" Zhao Minghai gritted his teeth.

Ye Ming smiled lightly. "That's okay, as long as you pay, I don't care if you're convinced or not."

"You!"

Zhao Minghai was driven mad by anger, but he couldn't erupt in front of so many people.

His eyes darted around, then he suddenly smirked coldly, "I'll give you the money, but first you have to apologize to me! After all, you slandered me first which led to this bet."

"Thinking back, you intentionally provoked me so that I would make this bet. I'm just too naïve and fell for your trick."

"I can overlook all those things, but you questioned my medical skills. You must apologize to me!"

Ye Ming was outright laughed at by Zhao Minghai's words.

"Your shamelessness is truly thicker than a city wall!"

"The wager was something you set for yourself—it's unseemly to blame it on me now!"

"And that treatment plan of yours, even a dog would shake its head at it—you dare to speak to me about medical skills?"

It looked like another argument was about to start.

Song Tianming stepped forward.

"What treatment plan? Let me see it," he said, looking at Zhao Minghai.

Doctor Liu quickly handed over the treatment plan along with the test results.

Song Tianming just glanced at it, and his face immediately turned ashen.

Zhao Minghai hadn't realized anything was amiss yet and said with a face full of grievance, "Divine Doctor Song, I admit that the medication was a bit excessive, but it was all to ensure the patient could recover faster and better!"

"I really can't tolerate this questioning of my medical skills!"

Upon hearing this,

Song Tianming couldn't help but curse, "You don't have any fucking medical skills!"

Zhao Minghai was completely dumbfounded by the insult.

"Divine Doctor Song, what's the meaning of this?"

Song Tianming threw the treatment plan right in Zhao Minghai's face and yelled, "Just look at this, are the surgical sites correct? And the medications, over a dozen types, with five that are inherently incompatible!"

"If you were to treat someone according to this method, you'd end up killing them!"

"Not slapping you right on the spot already shows restraint."

He knew Zhao Minghai well.

Claimed to be a top scholar from abroad, but in reality, he just spent a few years overseas then bought a degree to come back, surviving under his father, the Director's patronage.

But what Song Tianming hadn't expected was that this person lacked even the basic medical knowledge.

"To put it strongly, it's called murder! Do you understand?"

"If someone were to sue you over this, you'd be looking at at least ten years in prison!"

Zhao Minghai was so berated that he turned pale and dared not retort.

Doctor Liu next to him picked up the treatment plan and test results. He had only looked at the treatment plan initially and not very closely, but now, upon closer inspection, he realized that everything Song Tianming said was true.

He also felt a chill down his spine.

If something were to happen, their hospital would face serious consequences!

The onlookers who had understood the ins and outs started cursing Zhao Minghai, some even yelled about transferring hospitals, causing chaos to erupt at the scene.

The noise was so great that it forced the Director himself to come out.

After understanding the situation,

Director Zhao Kai slapped Zhao Minghai across the face and made him kneel to apologize to Su Bei.

After personally delivering one million, Director Zhao Kai also promised Su Bei, "Just put your mind at ease and stay in the hospital, all expenses will be waived and covered by the hospital."

At this moment, Song Tianming also came over, smiling at Ye Ming, "Young man, I will take responsibility for your mother's subsequent recuperation, rest assured."

Ye Ming, grateful for Song Tianming's support earlier, nodded in agreement.

...

Meanwhile,

Having returned to the hotel, Xia Ningning washed up, changed into her pajamas, and lay down on the bed, displaying her perfect figure.

Ding dong!

Xia Ningning picked up her phone to see her best friend finally replied.

"It's really true!"

Xu Lele sent a shocked emoticon but using Xia Ningning's face.

Seeing her own emoticon, Xia Ningning couldn't help but bitterly smile.

But she was used to her quirky best friend's antics.

"What are you going to do about it? Should I just destroy the marriage certificate for you?" Xia Ningning texted.

"No need!"

Xu Lele replied, "It's in Hai City, right? I've already bought a plane ticket and will be there tonight!"

"Humph! I want to meet this fiancé in person!"
