Chapter 4 Shortcut or Impasse?

Blood continuously gushed from every orifice of Old Master Li, and the traditional doctor also knew the situation was extremely critical.

He looked at Qin Yu in a frenzy, "Are you sure you can save him?"

With an indisputable tone, Qin Yu said, "If there's a set of silver needles available now, I can save him."

The traditional doctor's complexion turned somewhat ugly, as he clearly hadn't brought any with him.

"I happen to have a set in my car."

A chubby man suddenly called out.

He was in the medical equipment business.

He just so happened to have a set of silver needles used for acupuncture.

He quickly had his driver fetch the silver needles from the car.

Seeing this, Xu Shixun hastily clarified, "I want to make it clear in advance that this guy only drove my sister's car, and we paid him a hundred thousand for his service."

"Huayu Pharmaceutical has no connection with him whatsoever, and all his actions now are on his own."

Xu Xinru seemed not to want Qin Yu to get involved in this trouble and worriedly said, "This is no child's play; you need to think this through."

"I will bear any consequences alone."

Qin Yu's expression was resolute.

Having received the inheritance of the Medical Saint, he was absolutely confident in handling such an emergency.

Soon, the chubby man's driver brought the silver needles.

Qin Yu commanded, "Everyone out, **keep the air flowing in here.**"

Xu Shixun, however, looked at him with contempt, "Let me tell you, this is not a shortcut, but a dead end."

"If Old Master Li were to suffer any mishap, you'd better be prepared to have your entire family buried with him."

Once the banquet hall's private room was empty, Qin Yu held the silver needles in his hand.

Even though this was his first time performing acupuncture to save someone.

The silver needles nestled between his fingers felt eerily familiar.

The following traditional doctor still harbored some doubts, but soon after, his eyes widened in amazement.

Qin Yu moved like lightning, the silver needles falling uninterrupted, picked up with ease.

The needles pierced precisely into the Baihui, Shenting, Tianchong, and Zhengying acupoints, among others.

With the human body having numerous acupoints, even a slight deviation in needle placement could result in irreversible consequences.

In contrast, Qin Yu's needling was fast and decisive.

Each needle seemed premeditated, exhibiting utter confidence.

In just a few minutes, Old Master Li's pallid complexion gradually regained color.

Then the old man spat out a mouthful of congealed blood and miraculously opened his eyes.

Though his face covered in blood made him appear somewhat pitiful.

"It's alright now, just need some recuperation, and pay attention to your diet, and you'll be fine."

Qin Yu let out a sigh of relief and helped Old Master Li sit up in a chair to rest.

His first time performing acupuncture and saving a life also brought him a sense of achievement.

The accompanying traditional doctor was astounded to the point of kneeling down in excitement, "Thank you, sir, for saving his life."

"If it weren't for the sir's intervention today, Old Master Li would truly have been in danger."

In fact, if Old Master Li had indeed died here, as his accompanying traditional doctor, even ten lives wouldn't be enough for him to lose.

Saving Old Master Li was also tantamount to saving him.

"Please stand up, old sir," Qin Yu quickly helped the traditional doctor to his feet.

Old Master Li looked at them both with confusion, and the traditional doctor proceeded to recount the events that had transpired.

Old Master Li was immediately astonished as he turned his gaze to Qin Yu.

He had not expected to be pulled back from the brink of death by a complete outsider, particularly when everyone else had tried to stop the rescue, risking their own lives to treat him.

This caused even the usually unflappable Old Master Li's heart to tremble a bit.

He hurriedly got up and bowed deeply, ninety degrees, "Thank you, sir, for saving my life."

"May I inquire as to your honored name, sir?"

"Qin Yu."

After a warm exchange between the two, Old Master Li asked about Qin Yu's situation.

Old Master Li nodded with a smile, "Mr. Qin, those hands of yours are meant for saving lives, it's a waste to just hold a steering wheel."

"I'm in the process of establishing the largest private hospital in Nanzhou City, would you be interested in a position there?"

"Thank you, Old Master Li, for your kind offer, but I have some matters to attend to for the moment," Qin Yu didn't outright refuse.

Seeing Qin Yu's noncommittal attitude, the elder Li didn't insist.

After thinking it over, he asked the senior traditional doctor to call the others in before heading straight into the restroom to wash up.

Moments later, Xinru, Xu Shixun, and others walked back into the private room.

Not seeing elder Li, everyone was somewhat astonished.

Then, when they saw elder Li emerge from the restroom safe and sound, everyone couldn't help but be shocked.

In fact, not a single one of them believed Qin Yu really had the capability to save elder Li.

Even the fat man who contributed the silver needles was merely trying his luck.

After all, it wasn't his responsibility if it failed.

If by some chance it succeeded, he would have something to boast about having offered the silver needles.

Xinru was also extremely amazed and couldn't help but curiously size up the man in front of her, who looked a bit down and out, yet his demeanor remained calm and composed.

Skilled in combat and knowledgeable in medicine, yet he drove a cheap van and didn't even have money for gas.

Could he truly be a reclusive master hidden away in the deep forest?

The fat man who contributed the silver needles, seeing elder Li, couldn't help but squint his eyes and smile, saying, "It's truly great that you're all right, elder Li."

"It's also divine fate that I happened to carry a set of silver needles in my car today."

"Otherwise, it would have been too dangerous."

His insinuation was clear — without my contributed set of silver needles, even if Qin Yu had great abilities, you'd have had to say goodbye to this world here and now.

"Many thanks," elder Li smiled back at the fat man.

The fat man was overjoyed.

Everyone else was itching with hatred.

This shameless man really knew how to claim credit for himself.

Xu Shixun turned to elder Li and shamelessly said, "Elder Li, the person who saved you was brought here by my sister."

The fat man said with a hint of mockery, "But just now, you publicly stated he had nothing to do with Huayu Pharmaceutical."

"Right, didn't you also say that he was betting his life for glory and riches?"

"He's the one with the heart of a healer, while you judged him with your petty mindset."

At this time, everyone else also started to ridicule Xu Shixun, as they joined in the teasing.

Elder Li also gave Xu Shixun a displeased glare, and with a flick of his sleeve, turned away.

"I..."

Xu Shixun's face was filled with frustration, and he was extremely regretful.

Seeing that everyone had gathered, elder Li said solemnly, "Now, I'm going to make an announcement."

"All business affairs of Lingtian Hospital will be entrusted to Mr. Qin to decide."

Upon hearing this, all eyes suddenly converged on Qin Yu in unison.

Qin Yu himself was also astonished and quickly waved his hands, saying, "Elder Li, this concerns major affairs of a hospital; I don't have the ability to handle such responsibilities."

But elder Li admired him even more in his heart; facing such a massive temptation, he wasn't overjoyed, and his first reaction was fear of not being able to do a good job.

In modern society, to maintain such integrity was indeed rare.

Elder Li became even more determined in his thinking and smiled, "Ability can be cultivated gradually, but a sincere heart is truly rare."

"I believe Mr. Qin will choose the best partner for Lingtian Hospital."

Qin Yu knew that elder Li was trying to repay him by offering him an opportunity to enter the upper echelons of society.

This was a far more ingenious reward than direct monetary compensation.

The people present were dumbfounded!

Xu Shixun was already feeling life was not worth living, full of regret that he almost wanted to run into the wall right there.

He felt that the business of Lingtian Hospital was basically ruined by his actions.

If his family found out that all this was because of him.

His position as vice president would also be at its end.

Fang Linwei of Kailun Pharmaceutical was also pale as death!

Everyone present, being company bosses from various industries, had their minds quickly stirring into action.

Elder Li had invested a fortune to build Nanzhou City's top private hospital — the pharmaceutical business was just one slice of the cake.

There were many other aspects, including medical equipment, consumables, construction and decoration, electrical goods, and more.

As long as they won Qin Yu's approval, they could share in this large piece of the cake.

What mattered most was.

Getting on board with the Li family.

It was something money couldn't measure!
