Chereads / "Heavenly Physician in Huaxia: Mortal Mission" / Chapter 35 - "You missed your chance."

Chapter 35 - "You missed your chance."

Li Jiang's words were like a giant stone thrown into a calm lake, shocking everyone speechless. In today's medical world, there are few who deserve to be called "little miracle doctors" by Li Jiang, and certainly not someone as young as Zhang Zhili.

Zhang Zhili smiled faintly, acknowledging his own abilities: "No, no, no, sir, I'm not as good as you think! I once visited a friend, He Songmang, a needle acupuncture expert from 66, who also spoke highly of my acupuncture skills, calling them miraculous!"

Originally, when treating Song Jiao, Li Jiang had some understanding of Zhang Zhili's medical skills, coupled with He Songmang's superior proficiency in acupuncture, Zhang Zhili felt inferior, hence the praise.

At this moment, Li Jiang's expression was sincere, without any hint of falsehood.

Everyone present was astonished. Even Shu Yanyan was stunned; she had never imagined Zhang Zhili had such high medical attainments.

The other two doctors were equally shocked. Li Jiang and He Songmang were top-notch doctors in the medical world. The fact that they both praised this young man was unbelievable.

Yan Changhai did not expect that the reliance he had brought in would end up speaking up for Zhang Zhili.

He angrily pointed at Zhang Zhili, accusing him: "Li Guoshou, are you mistaken? This kid is like a charlatan, talking nonsense!"

"He actually said there's a seven-colored centipede in my father's body. Isn't that ridiculous? Talking about being poisoned, do you think that's something a doctor would say?"

Upon hearing the term "poisoned," Li Jiang's expression also became doubtful. "Oh? Poisoned?"

Unable to resist, he stepped forward to examine it and murmured, "The poisoning is indeed very obvious, but whether there is a living thing in the stomach, I can't be sure."

A doctor muttered quietly, "When Mr. Yan came to the hospital, he had already undergone CT scans and MRIs. If there really was a centipede in his stomach, it would have been detected long ago."

Li Jiang hesitated for a moment and asked Zhang Zhili, "Little miracle doctor, do you have any basis for this?"

Zhang Zhili used true qi to explore with acupuncture needles, a method that was difficult to explain. He could only vaguely say, "Even if I tell you, you may not understand! The CT scan didn't show anything because it was originally an insect egg, which later turned into a live insect."

Yan Changhai was so angry that he trembled, pointing at Zhang Zhili and accusing him of talking nonsense.

Li Jiang asked in a deep voice, "Is there a possibility of misdiagnosis?"

Zhang Zhili firmly replied, "No! When the items are ready, and I remove that thing, you will naturally understand!"

Soon, the items Zhang Zhili needed were delivered by the bodyguard.

Everyone watched in amazement. This was simply unbelievable!

They were here for proper medical treatment, but it turned into the appearance of a rural witch driving out evil spirits!

Zhang Zhili casually picked up a pair of scissors, cut the rooster's neck, and dripped the blood onto the yellow paper.

Then, he mixed the blood with cinnabar, wrote down a series of special symbols on the yellow paper, and infused it with true qi.

He then rolled the yellow paper into a pill-sized ball and said, "Give this to the old man to swallow with water, and the effect will be visible in five minutes!"

Even Shu Yanyan, who was usually calm in the face of difficulties, was astonished.

After Zhang Zhili stuffed the yellow paper into the old man's mouth, he gently patted his back.

The old man opened his mouth and swallowed the pill.

Everyone's eyes were on Yan Lao, and they simply didn't believe there was a seven-colored centipede in his stomach, let alone that a piece of paper could make him spit it out!

Only Zhang Zhili remained calm, with a serene expression.

As time passed by, Yan Lao showed no signs of reaction, and the eyes of those present became increasingly complex.

Mockery, sarcasm, and even schadenfreude!

This Yan Lao was not some obscure old man. If something went wrong, Zhang Zhili, the culprit, would probably not escape from this hospital!

The Yan family is an ancient clan, and Yan Lao Ye, having commanded a battle of ten thousand men in the military, is a respected old commander.

Now, faced with Yan Lao Ye's illness, the younger generation of the family is anxious because treating such a high-ranking figure carries the risk of disaster with any misstep.

Five minutes passed, and Li Jiang cleared his throat twice: "Little divine doctor, I think..."

Before he could finish, Yan Lao Ye suddenly began to vomit black blood in large quantities, causing everyone present to tense up.

Seeing this, Shu Yi Yan's complexion turned pale with worry.

Yan Chang Hai's face darkened with anger as he sternly said to Shu Yi Yan, "Shu Yi Yan, I will definitely inform Yan Chang Hai and my brothers of today's events. If anything happens to Lao Ye, you will bear full responsibility..."

He angrily reproached Shu Yi Yan while also ordering to catch the perpetrator.

However, Zhang Zhi Li paid no attention to these words. He swiftly moved the acupuncture needles along Yan Lao Ye's esophagus, inserting sixteen of them in succession.

Yan Lao Ye once again vomited a large amount of black blood, this time with a ball of paper that he had just swallowed, and nestled within the folds of the paper was a seven-colored centipede the length of a flower bud.

As soon as the centipede touched the air, it began to wriggle, causing everyone present to look on with astonishment.

There really was a centipede! Was it a centipede? Was it seven-colored? Hey, weren't you jumping around just now? Why are you scared now? Come on, if you eat it, I'll pretend nothing happened, how about that?

Zhang Zhi Li teased as he waved the centipede in front of Yan Chang Hai, who paled with fear and backed away several steps.

"Don't come near, stay away from me! It's nothing but a coward!" Yan Chang Hai warned loudly, while Zhang Zhi Li simply spat and tossed the centipede into a nearby tray.

"Take this thing away and burn it. I'll leave a prescription for the medication. Take it on time, and you'll recover. This kind of venom uses insect eggs and must have entered through the mouth. Pay attention to your diet!" Zhang Zhi Li's tone was firm as he ignored the reactions of the crowd and wrote down the prescription.

It took Li Jiang a while to come back to his senses, and he bowed to Zhang Zhi Li: "Little divine doctor, your knowledge and skill are extensive. You have done a great service to my master!"

"Well, luck is on my side. A blind cat has encountered a dead mouse," Zhang Zhi Li chuckled.

"You are the dead mouse!" Shu Yi Yan breathed a sigh of relief, hearing this, and gave Zhang Zhi Li a white look.

Zhang Zhi Li gave some more instructions before making an excuse to leave.

Shu Yi Yan personally escorted Zhang Zhi Li downstairs: "Young man, you are truly talented. In just a few days, you have helped me several times!"

"So, are you going to offer yourself?" Zhang Zhi Li smirked.

"Oh, look at you. You understand me so well after just three meetings!"

With Lao Ye out of danger, Shu Yi Yan's mood visibly improved.

"You don't stand a chance, I'm already married!" Zhang Zhi Li said as the ringtone of his phone rang. Seeing that it was Zhang Yue Hong calling, he smiled and raised his phone: "My mother-in-law is calling!"

Shu Yi Yan's lips curled slightly: "It's okay, I can compete with her unfairly. If that doesn't work, I can also be your mistress!"

Zhang Zhi Li almost stumbled over his feet, unable to handle this woman's mouth!

He quickly regained his composure, cleared his throat, and hurriedly answered the phone. Just as he answered, he heard Zhang Yue Hong's panicked voice.

"Wan Li, your father has been beaten up, come quickly! He's in Bao Gu City..."
