Chapter 9 Guardian Needle_1

Indeed.

The director had summoned the head of the hospital to review the surveillance footage and discovered that the old chief physician had sneaked something in.

"Get out."

"The hospital has no need for a scoundrel like you!"

Yesterday, Gu Qingya had cured Chen Daoming, the tycoon of a major consortium, and it was already the news; today, she attracted so many patients, generating countless profits for the hospital. Now that the old chief physician had made a mistake, the director naturally knew how to choose.

"Miss Chen, as you instructed, I mixed an extra ingredient into the medicine. I didn't expect that Yang Yi would detect it right on the spot."

"I've lost my job now. You can honour our previous agreement and let me run the newly planned clinic!"

Upon leaving the hospital, the old chief physician found Chen Lin.

He was indeed envious of Gu Qingya, but it was Chen Lin who had suggested tampering with the medicine.

She had promised that a large clinic was already in the works under her name. As long as he helped her accomplish her task, she would hand over the management of the clinic to him.

"Would I dare employ a quack like you, who switches patients' medications for your own gain?"

Chen Lin gave a cold smile and walked away.

Her goal had been achieved — to test what kind of skills Yang Yi truly had. Now she knew that, at least in terms of identifying medications, Yang Yi was no worse than her!

As for the old chief physician, he had always been just a clown from start to finish.

"Miss Chen, you can't do this!"

The old chief physician's face turned ashen.

Though there were many patients, with Gu Qingya and Yang Yi working together, the problems were quickly resolved.

Nearly all the patients were cured with the medicine; if not, their condition significantly improved, leading to endless praise for the pair.

Gu Qingya's face was all smiles.

This was the first time she had received such validation from so many people.

At the kindergarten entrance.

"Yiyi, your driver is here again."

After the security guard shouted, the little girl hopped out gleefully.

But Yang Yi frowned.

Though Yiyi was as lively as ever, her steps had become heavier, her smile somewhat rigid, and her eyes no longer sparkled, appearing dimmer.

Children should be full of vitality at her age. Even if they were sick, unless it was a life-threatening disease, they should not exhibit such symptoms.

There was only one possibility — someone had tampered with her!

Yang Yi immediately became furious.

Yiyi was the apple of his eye.

No matter who it was, anyone daring to harm her would face his rage.

"Yiyi, were you well-behaved today?"

"Of course, I was good. A uncle gave Yiyi candy today, and I didn't even take it."

Yiyi cocked her head and said crisply.

Candy?

"Durian candy?"

Yang Yi immediately followed up with a question.

"Wow, how did you know? You're amazing!"

Yiyi was very surprised.

Indeed.

Yang Yi clenched his fists.

Durian, some people like it, others loathe it. The main reason is constitution. Some people are very sensitive to it and might even be allergic, naturally making them averse to it.

Yiyi was one of them.

She was particularly sensitive to durian, feeling uncomfortable just at the smell.

If at this time someone were to needle her at several acupoints combined with a strong durian scent, it could induce an allergic decline in vitality.

To know the medical reasoning behind this and to administer the needles without being detected by her teachers or Yiyi herself, only members of the Yang family were capable of such a deed.

"The Yang family!"

Yang Yi's eyes turned cold.

"Had I still been at the third needle of 'Guardian Needle,' I might truly have been unable to save her; but I have already reached the fourth needle, the Guardian Needle!"

"I may be able to cure the illness, but this grudge is forever settled!"

On the hot summer day, Yang Yi hurriedly put Yiyi in the car.

Looking at the sleeping Yiyi, Yang Yi's heart ached. He had never imagined that the grudges of the past generation would continue to affect this one.

Immediately, Yang Yi took out a silver needle, pierced Yiyi's Hegu acupoint with it, and injected his Inner Qi to ensure her safety.

But to truly cure the ailment, he needed to return home and activate the dominant healing power of the Guardian Needle.

In the car, neither the temperature nor the environment were suitable for medical treatment. Realizing this, his gaze turned icy again.

"The Yang family has acted, and so ruthlessly at that, even striking a deadly blow against a child!"

Yang Yi, while driving, deeply realized, "To protect those around me, my own concessions and retreats would only lead to inevitable tragedy. I must become stronger and eliminate all threats!"

Driving the Mercedes-Maybach at breakneck speed, he arrived home, where Gu Qingya was already waiting at the door.

Seeing Yang Yi carrying Yiyi out of the car with a troubled face was surprising to her. She was about to ask questions.

But she was pre-empted by Chen Yating, who had just returned from playing mahjong, scolding, "Yang Yi, what are you up to? Didn't you buy groceries for dinner?"

Usually, Yang Yi would have bought groceries and been preparing dinner by now, but today he was empty-handed.

Chen Yating, realizing that her scolding had been completely ignored by Yang Yi, became even angrier and was about to speak again.

However, upon noticing Yiyi's poor complexion, even though she wasn't usually kind to Yang Yi, she still loved her granddaughter dearly.

"Yang Yi, what's wrong with Yiyi's complexion? Why is there a silver needle in her chin? Did you do this?"

As she spoke, she moved swiftly towards them. In one quick motion, she snatched the silver needle, which immediately woke Yiyi, who began crying softly.
