Chapter 3: Human Life is of Paramount Importance

These people were all senior executives of Huayu Pharmaceutical and Xu Xinru's family members.

They had been unable to contact Xu Xinru from last night until now and thought something had happened to her, so they were immensely relieved to see her now.

"Sis, what happened?

"Who is this guy?"

A handsome young man looked at Qin Yu with a wary sidelong glance.

He was Xu Xinru's younger brother, Xu Shixun.

"We'll talk about it later, he saved me. Go get him 100,000 yuan in cash," Xu Xinru said softly.

"I'm on it!"

Xu Shixun immediately went to get the money.

Xu Xinru was efficient and capable, leading a group of people to the banquet hall in a hurry, continuously inquiring and arranging various matters.

She also arranged a table full of food in the main hall outside the banquet room for Qin Yu to wait there for her brother to bring the money over.

It had been more than twenty hours since Qin Yu was driven out of Feng Yu's family's home.

After two fights, Qin Yu was indeed starving.

Completely disregarding his image, he devoured the food ravenously.

Since becoming paralyzed, he had never eaten so heartily and freely.

Just as Qin Yu finished off the food, Xu Shixun, Xinru's brother, happened to come over with a bag of cash.

Seeing the messed up table, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.

Xu Shixun casually tossed the bag of cash in front of Qin Yu and said indifferently, "Take the money and leave quickly. After that, we're even."

Qin Yu frowned and stared at Xu Shixun, who was acting superior, feeling somewhat annoyed.

He suspected that all these rich young masters had a problem with being overly proud.

"Do you think everyone is coveting something from your family or what?" Qin Yu couldn't help but retort.

Xu Shixun sneered, "Isn't that the case?"

"As a poor man like you, don't you just think that by doing a small favor for our family...

"...you can cling to the Xu family and gain greater benefits?"

Qin Yu was speechless: "You're overthinking it."

But Xu Shixun continued to push his limits, sneering, "A poor person like you will never fit into our upper-class society.

"And don't think that by helping my sister once, she will have any interest in you.

"The fairy tale of a toad eating swan meat and marrying a white, rich, and beautiful woman to reach the pinnacle of life is just that – a fairy tale.

"After all, both your image and abilities are inferior to our company's security guards."

"Nonsense."

Qin Yu was getting annoyed too.

Their self-important thinking and superior attitude made him quite irritable.

Qin Yu took the money and stood up, ready to leave.

He just wanted to go back to confront Feng Yu's family to seek justice.

"Help, someone, help..."

At that moment, the door to the banquet room was suddenly pushed open, and a chaotic sound of panicked shouts came from inside.

Qin Yu ran to the door of the room, looking uncertain.

The banquet hall had dozens of people, and by now it was a scene of utter chaos, everyone in a panic.

On the floor lay an elderly man dressed in traditional attire who was now bleeding from all seven orifices.

A few men wearing the same black suits were standing guard warily around the elder, and there was also an old traditional Chinese medicine practitioner.

The old TCM doctor was bending over to check on the elder's condition and seemed to be at a loss, urgently picking up his cell phone to dial emergency services, then continuously making calls, seemingly to notify the elder's family.

"Just take him to the hospital."

Someone suggested.

A paunchy, large-bellied man saw a crowd of assistants and drivers at the door and shouted, "Hurry up over here and carry Mr. Li to the car and get him to the hospital."

"You can't move him; this is a sudden brain hemorrhage, and the bleeding is in the brainstem part.

"If we move him carelessly and cause a brain concussion, he will die instantly."

At that moment, a loud voice rang out in the banquet room.

In an instant, it drew everyone's attention.

All eyes turned toward the source of the sound.

They saw a man in cheap clothes with messy hair and an unkempt beard, a picture of destitution, standing next to Xu Xinru.

Having inherited the legacy of the Yin Yang Medical Saint, Qin Yu immediately identified the symptoms of the elderly man.

Bleeding from all orifices indicated that the bleeding in the brain was quite severe.

The fatty suddenly panicked, "Then let's not move him, let's wait here for the ambulance to come."

Qin Yu shook his head, "With such a severe cerebral hemorrhage if he doesn't receive timely treatment, he can hold on for at most fifteen minutes.

"It's rush hour now; it would take the nearest hospital forty minutes to get here. By the time the ambulance arrives, the body will have gone cold."

The old traditional doctor naturally recognized the symptoms of Mr. Li, but he dared not to act rashly.

After all, the blood stasis is in the brain, which allows no room for error.

He didn't expect that this young man in front of him could also see that.

He asked in surprise, "Do you understand medical skills?"

Qin Yu nodded.

The old doctor asked again, "Can you save him?"

"I can."

Qin Yu nodded firmly.

Fang Linwei, the president of Kolon Pharmaceutical, had already learned about Qin Yu from his son Fang Minghao.

He deliberately said aloud, "This guy is with President Xu of Huayu Pharmaceutical.

"If this guy messes around and Mr. Li suffers any consequences, that has nothing to do with us!"

His heart was very malicious, actually planning to drag the entire Huayu Pharmaceutical down with him.

He didn't believe this kind of guy in front of him could really cure illnesses.

Should Mr. Li really pass away, he could then pull all the blame on him.

And let this guy and Huayu Pharmaceutical bear the wrath of the Li Family.

Seeing this, Xu Shixun hurriedly rushed in and glared at Qin Yu, "Please know your place.

"A driver, what do you know about medical skills?

"If you mishandle Mr. Li and cause a grave mistake, do you want everyone here to accompany you in death?"

Then he said to the others, "We should hurry up and send him to the hospital."

The accompanying old doctor, when he heard that Qin Yu was just a driver, was immediately very disappointed.

Having been around Nanzhou City for many years, Qin Yu naturally knew what kind of existence the Li Family was.

It could almost be said that the Li Family was the sky of Nanzhou City.

They are truly the ace family of Nanzhou City!

Qin Yu gazed at Xu Shixun and frowned, "Human life is of utmost importance; moving the patient now with his condition might cause even the slightest concussion in the brain, leading to death."

"You still know that human life is of utmost importance, huh?

"Driving for my sister already costs a hundred thousand yuan.

"Someone like you, who only seeks profit, is just trying to turn the situation around in your favor.

"If by chance you cure him, the credit is yours.

"If something goes wrong, others will share the responsibility."

"You've really calculated your moves quite clearly," Xu Shixun said with a disdainful look.

Qin Yu, "I just want to save the person, any accident that happens will be my responsibility."

Xu Shixun, "Who do you think you are?"

"I very much understand the thoughts of poor people like you."

"You just know Mr. Li's status and want to gamble your worthless life for wealth and honor!"

"Vice President Xu's words are reasonable. Such people should be quickly kicked out and not allowed to talk nonsense here."

"What if he causes a serious problem for Mr. Li, who can bear this responsibility?"

The others were also angry, staring at Qin Yu and threatening to kick him out.

After all, if Mr. Li really died at this banquet, all the people present would be legally responsible.

Yet, what scared them most wasn't that.

It was the fury of the Li Family, which could burn them to ashes.

Seeing that everyone turned against him, Xu Shixun was very pleased; he would not allow a petty profit-seeker to succeed.

However, Xinru glared at Xu Shixun, "Xu Shixun, do not spout nonsense."

"Mr. Qin is not that kind of person."

Xu Shixun, in a fit of anger, retorted, "Sister, who knows where this beggarly guy even came from?

"He is helping you simply to gain some benefits from you.

"He probably just knows a little bit and wants to take a gamble.

"If he succeeds, he rises to the top by himself; if he fails, we are the ones who suffer."

Xinru angrily said, "Shut up."

"If we delay any further, it may truly become impossible to save him."

Qin Yu was somewhat anxious; after all, it was a life at stake, and if this best chance of rescue was missed because of these people's scheming, it would truly be a pity.
