Chapter 31 - "Who is responsible?"

Zhang Zhili didn't expect to encounter Shu Yeyan here. Shu Yeyan was dressed in a simple white shirt and pencil pants, her well-proportioned figure exuding a sense of competence in this outfit, with a hint less of coquetry.

"Do you know how to treat illnesses?" Shu Yeyan asked in surprise, noticing Zhang Zhili's hand still resting on her niece's back.

Before Zhang Zhili could respond, the young doctor who followed her spoke up irritably, "He's not a doctor, just a family member. What illness could he treat?" Shu Yeyan raised an eyebrow slightly, "Family member? Does Dr. He know him too?"

"Yeah!" He Yang glared at Zhang Zhili, unpleased. "Hurry up and leave. The emergency room is in chaos, and you're wandering around here. Are you so idle? You're even touching patients randomly. Can you afford the responsibility if something happens?"

Zhang Zhili eased the little girl down and said, "She just had a sudden bout of nausea, and I was just helping her."

Shu Yeyan then noticed that her niece not only stopped vomiting but also her breathing had become much steadier. "My niece has been in the hospital for an hour, and they've been doing this test and that test. I didn't expect your massage to alleviate her symptoms quite a bit!"

Zhang Zhili nodded, "This illness is quite tricky. Without the test reports, it's hard for Western medicine to handle."

"You seem to know quite a bit!" Shu Yeyan remarked.

"I do know a little bit!" Zhang Zhili replied.

Shu Yeyan turned to He Yang, "Since that's the case, Dr. He, should you ask for his opinion and consider it? The test reports haven't come out yet, but you can't keep the patient waiting!"

He Yang chuckled, "Miss Shu, don't be fooled. This guy is just a lunatic. He got better from his illness not even two days ago!"

"Hey, you said I got better from my mental illness too. How do you know I can't treat diseases? I cured Song Jiaojiao's illness!" Zhang Zhili retorted.

"You're talking nonsense! They are students from the international kindergarten. They live in the city all year round. How could they have contracted the plague?" He Yang instinctively rebutted.

"Step aside!" Zhang Zhili took the acupuncture needle from He Yang's hand and pushed him away. He Yang, embarrassed, still wanted to see what Zhang Zhili could do differently.

Zhang Zhili's needling speed was very fast. In the blink of an eye, he had placed more than ten needles on the little girl's liver meridian.

"Using Qi to control the needles, locking the soul and vitality!" He Yang exclaimed in surprise. "You can actually use Qi to control the needles! Are you... the person my grandfather mentioned?"

Zhang Zhili glared at He Yang, "If your grandfather is He Songmang, then yes! Your grandfather's diagnostic skills..."

"He's indeed like that!" Zhang Zhili shook his head.

"You're just using acupuncture on Tian Shu, Shang Zhong, Xia Wan, Liang Qiu, Dan Zhong, Tiantu, and Feishu points. Plus a new addition of Xiangru Yin, right?" He Yang was astonished.

"How did you know?" He Yang asked instinctively.

"He did diagnose it this way." Zhang Zhili replied.

"If you can cure the patients here, I'll accept you as my teacher!" He Yang said angrily.

"With your qualifications, I won't accept you!" Zhang Zhili retorted.

Shu Yeyan looked at the two of them in silence for a moment, then said, "My niece is in such discomfort. Could you two see her first?" She was quite clear-headed. Zhang Zhili mentioned curing Song Jiaojiao, and He Yang didn't deny it, indicating that Zhang Zhili might really have some skills. Even if Zhang Zhili's suggestions didn't work, there was still He Yang watching on the side.

Just then, the little girl's face darkened, and she began to twitch intermittently, her lips turning purple.

He Yang was startled. Western medicine required test results before medication. He took out the acupuncture needle and said, "Let me do acupuncture first!"

"The symptoms of poisoning, along with dryness in the lungs and accompanying diarrhea and vomiting!" Zhang Zhili analyzed.

He Yang was stunned. He never expected that the acupuncture master his grandfather mentioned would turn out to be Zhang Zhili, a well-known psychiatric patient in the hospital.

As Zhang Zhili finished his acupuncture treatment, the little girl's condition improved, and she slowly woke up. She turned her head to Shu Yeyan and said in a childish voice, "Auntie, hug!"

Shu Yeyan finally breathed a sigh of relief, patting her niece's back while casting a grateful glance at Zhang Zhili.

He Yang was both annoyed and angry, unsure whether he resented Zhang Zhili for stealing the limelight or himself for being incompetent.

Zhang Zhili turned to He Yang and said, "The herbal prescription should include Sanwen soup! Remember it and go prepare it!"

He Yang wanted to shout, "I'm the deputy director, not your apprentice!" but inexplicably nodded in agreement.

"I suspect it's Vibrio cholerae. You should report it!" Zhang Zhili added after some thought.

Upon hearing Vibrio cholerae, He Yang instinctively denied, "How is that possible! This thing hasn't appeared in our country for the past hundred years or so."

Zhang Zhili shrugged, "Believe it or not, it doesn't matter. You can wait for the test reports."

After hesitating for a moment, He Yang said, "Alright, I'll go report to the vice dean. But there are still over a dozen critically ill patients waiting. We can't wait for you to assist!"

"Hmm?" Zhang Zhili furrowed his brow.

"That technique of yours, no one else knows it!" He Yang muttered.

Shu Yeyan looked at Zhang Zhili, seeming hesitant, and said, "I thank you for saving my niece! I also want to ask for your help with other children. Behind every little life is a family's joy and sorrow!"

Zhang Zhili sighed, "Well, I can't bear to ignore it either!"

In fact, as long as the cause of the disease is determined, the hospital can respond quickly and come up with a solution.

He didn't have a medical license and didn't want to cause trouble for Tang Yanran.

But he couldn't resist his soft heart. Zhang Zhili then went to another child.

Zhang Zhili selected and treated several critically ill patients.

After He Yang went to report, he hurried back to the emergency room with a worried expression, "This time I've implicated you.

When I reported to Vice Dean Guo, he became alarmed as soon as he heard about Vibrio cholerae. Li Dayou, the young master of that pharmaceutical company, happened to be there. He knows you and said a few provocative words..."

Before he could finish speaking, a middle-aged man wearing Vice Dean Guo's nameplate hurriedly entered the room with several people.

Li Tianyang followed Vice Dean Guo closely and, as soon as he entered, looked at Zhang Zhili with gloating eyes.

"You don't have a medical license, how dare you meddle? And making unfounded claims, who will take responsibility if it causes chaos?"

Vice Dean Guo looked Zhang Zhili up and down, his face full of displeasure, "Cholera is an infectious disease. Speaking without confirmation will only cause trouble."
