Director Li was stupefied for a good while before he snapped back to reality.
Why did Ye Yang tell him to shut up? I'm the hospital director, yet that kid isn't even a doctor!
Director Li couldn't figure it out, but he didn't dare say another word, after all, it was Ye Yang, someone he couldn't afford to offend.
Perhaps he was a chief physician in front of other doctors in the hospital, but in front of the legendary Divine Doctor Ye Yang, he was as insignificant as an ant.
So, he prudently kept quiet, though his thoughts grew increasingly depressing.
Shortly afterwards, Jiang Chen took a deep breath, withdrew his hand, his forehead already beaded with cold sweat.
He had successfully saved Gong Lin's mother's life. Of course, a complete recovery wasn't something that could be achieved overnight.
But that was something the hospital could now handle.
"My god, this, this is impossible!" The doctors who were initially blocked by Gong Lin were now staring slack-jawed, their faces filled with shock.
In this situation, even a fool could see that the patient was markedly better.
Recalling how they had all desperately tried to hinder Jiang Chen earlier, they now felt their faces burn with shame, wishing they could find a hole to crawl into.
It was utterly humiliating!
The surrounding crowd was also dumbfounded.
They all had eyes, and throughout the process, they had seen the needle technique Jiang Chen had used—extraordinarily unique, emitting an air of profound mystery everywhere.
And as Jiang Chen performed the technique, the patient, who had been weak and gasping for breath as if on the verge of death, now had a rosy complexion.
As if Dead Wood Spring had come.
Marvelous!
"Wow, I never thought this young man was so skilled in medicine—truly an expert among the common folk!"
The onlooking crowd couldn't stop exclaiming in surprise, and when they looked at Jiang Chen again, their eyes were filled with awe and admiration, but even more so with guilt.
This was a real Divine Doctor!
Gong Lin was also deeply moved; turning her head and bursting into tears of joy, she suddenly knelt down.
And kneeling alongside her was the Divine Doctor Ye Yang himself.
He really did it!
"Haha, it seems it really was the Welcoming Spring Needle Technique. The heavens are just! The revival of ancient medicine is hopeful!"
Ye Yang, kneeling on the ground, looked up at Jiang Chen as if he were beholding a deity, his eyes shining brightly.
The doctors and onlookers beside him were even more astonished at this scene.
See that? This young man is incredible; even Divine Doctor Ye is kneeling before him!
Heavenly, absolutely miraculous!
Jiang Chen too was startled by Ye Yang's actions, but he wasn't ready to reveal his secrets just yet, and was even less willing to disclose his medical skills to strangers.
"What Welcoming Spring Needle? It was just a fluke, just a fluke... Hurry up and save the person, don't just stand there watching," he deflected casually.
"Yes, yes, save the person."
The doctors, including Ye Yang, quickly went to work to save the patient.
At that moment, Jiang Chen quickly departed the scene with Ye Jingyi and Lin Wan, both of whom were also stunned.
"Hey, where did that young man go?" Once Ye Yang finished helping, Jiang Chen was nowhere to be found.
"Divine Doctor Ye, do you really believe that kid? He must have had some kind of fluke, accidentally healing the patient. What a nuisance, if it weren't for his meddling, the patient would have been safe with you and us," Director Li approached him again, now with an indignant expression, and his eyes were nearly shooting fire.
He was truly infuriated now. How did that kid cure another patient? Wasn't this just another slap in his own face?
At this moment, he truly wanted nothing more than to devour Jiang Chen's flesh and drink his blood.
"What did you say?"
Ye Yang became immediately infuriated upon hearing Director Li's words.
This guy actually dared to blame the young man who performed the Welcoming Spring Needle Technique for causing trouble?
Absolutely ridiculous!
If that young man was causing trouble, then what does that make you?
"I'm saying, can't you stop spouting nonsense, please? Your boasting is making even an old man like me uncomfortable. I'm unable to cure this patient's illness; are you implying you're better than me? If so, I'm willing to acknowledge you as my master!"
Ye Yang's face was dark and gloomy as he said each word deliberately, his eyes filled with extreme dissatisfaction.
In his eyes, Director Li's behavior, jealous of the talented, made him utterly unworthy of being a doctor.
"I..."
Director Li was at a loss for words. He had flattered his way onto the wrong horse's leg.
"Ah, Master, I apologize for my late arrival in welcoming someone of your stature. My deepest regrets, my deepest regrets." At that moment, an apologetic voice suddenly rang out.
A senior figure wearing a white lab coat and presbyopic glasses hurried to Ye Yang's side, his face bearing an expression of apology.
This elderly man was none other than the Dean of Jinhai Hospital, Lu Tianfeng.
Although he was only a few years younger than Ye Yang, in the world of medicine, those who excel are masters. Ye Yang's medical skills were several times stronger than his, which was why he had always considered Ye Yang as his master.
Despite being addressed as Master by the Dean, Ye Yang remained very calm. His disciples were all over the world, and it was no exaggeration to say that his followers were everywhere; Lu Tianfeng was but one of his many disciples, and not even an official one at that.
"The one who is truly guilty is not you, but someone else," Ye Yang said, raising an eyebrow, his tone growing colder.
Upon hearing this, Lu Tianfeng's face immediately took on a solemn expression; there was a deeper meaning to Ye Yang's words.
Ye Yang did not continue to play coy but directly pointed a finger at Director Li: "This director of yours has no significant skills, but his boastfulness is quite something, and his medical ethics and integrity are also 'impressive.' You take care of it."
With that, Ye Yang turned and swept away, having said all he had to say. If Lu Tianfeng could not understand that, he did not deserve to be Ye Yang's disciple.
Sure enough, Lu Tianfeng's face suddenly changed, and he looked at Director Li with a cold gaze.
"Dean, I did not boast, my medical ethics and integrity..." Director Li was panicked and hurriedly began to defend himself.
"Director Li, by saying this, are you suggesting that my Master is slandering you?" Lu Tianfeng, however, curled his lips into a cold smile and spoke with a chilly tone.
"No, I..." Director Li was bewildered.
But then, the Dean's next words completely shocked him.
"You are fired!"
Although he did not know the entire story, Lu Tianfeng firmly believed that Ye Yang would not make baseless accusations; if he openly criticized Director Li's medical integrity, it had to be true.
After speaking, Lu Tianfeng also hurriedly followed Ye Yang.
Director Li was left alone, stupefied, before he collapsed on the ground and burst into loud wailing.
…
Meanwhile, Jiang Chen had taken Ye Jingyi and Lin Wan away from the crowd of onlookers, and soon, their looks of sheer amazement at him were quite unsettling.
"Hey, can you not look at me like that, please?" Jiang Chen said with a wry smile.
Ye Jingyi did not say a word, her face full of shock. She looked at Jiang Chen, who seemed not to care in the slightest, and couldn't help but feel dazed:
This Jiang Chen is really amazing. He had an uncanny foresight to save me from Xu Gang and even defeated Xu Gang's bodyguards, and now he also has such miraculous medical skills?
Could he really be a swindler?
Ye Jingyi's judgment of Jiang Chen began to waver.
