"This, it can actually be cured?"
Sheng Qianmei, the female doctor, was incredibly surprised.
Meanwhile, the other Western physicians in the room had disbelieving expressions—looking as if they were just waiting for me to make a fool out of myself.
After getting the elderly man's consent, Liu Wentian quickly took out four silver needles. After sterilizing them, he began to insert them into designated spots on the man's back, abdomen, and arms.
In less than ten minutes, Liu Wentian had removed the needles and announced with a smile, "There you go! After this, get an acupuncture session for the next three days, continuous for four sessions, and you'll be fine!"
"You can't be telling me that... it's done just like that?" Sheng Qianmei couldn't believe it. For Western medicine surgery, it would have taken a considerably longer time. She didn't understand anything about what Liu Wentian had done with the needles.
"Wow, this is just like a miracle doctor! I feel strength in my body again, I... I remember now!" Suddenly, the old man who had been lying there started to struggle to sit up.
Hao Yuntian was touched inside and slowly helped the old man. The man's initial attempts to sit up were very gradual, but he eventually managed to sit upright.
This made Sheng Qianmei and the Western doctors' eyes bulge out as if they'd seen a ghost.
Previously, this elderly man had been paralyzed in bed for two months, and now, just a few needles later, he could actually sit up?
"This feeling, it's wonderful!" The old man's spirits seemed to improve, he murmured to himself and immediately wanted to get out of bed to walk a few steps.
"Old sir, you are still very weak. It's better not to get out of bed—after a week, you'll be able to walk on your own!" Liu Wentian hurriedly advised.
"Alright, alright, I'll listen to the miracle doctor!" The old man laughed, overwhelmed with excitement.
Sheng Qianmei was even more stunned. Was it so that the old gentleman was now able to get out of bed and walk, but considering his weakness, he was advised not to for the sake of recovery?
This was simply turning her previous medical beliefs on their head.
"Doctor Liu, you are a great benefactor to our Hao Family! I won't forget this kindness. If you don't mind, may I call you Brother Liu?" Hao Yuntian said, holding Liu Wentian's hand, more moved than ever, with tears starting to form in his eyes.
"Of course! Brother Hao!" Liu Wentian immediately agreed.
After all, he was a leading figure in the entertainment industry, much older than himself, and Liu Wentian was keen on making his acquaintance.
Moreover, he wanted to use Hao Yuntian's influence to resolve Li Chuyue's issue. Her contract was with Huayu Group's subsidiary, Lianliang Entertainment, led by Hao Yuntian as the chairman.
Liu Wentian wrote a prescription for the old man, instructed him on how to brew the medicine, and then left.
However, as soon as he stepped out of the building, someone grabbed his arm.
It was Sheng Qianmei, the female doctor.
What surprised Liu Wentian even more was that the mixed-race woman, who had previously been critical of him, was now looking at him with peculiar eyes, as if she were looking at her own lover.
"You... you better not be trying to use your... charms on me, I can't handle it!" Liu Wentian said somewhat uncomfortably.
Sheng Qianmei's eyes sparkled differently as she blinked her beautiful eyes and said earnestly, "Doctor Liu, I want to learn acupuncture from you!"
"No way!" Liu Wentian flatly refused and retracted his hand.
Acupuncture was the essence of Huaxia medicine, and what he had learned was not just any ordinary acupuncture. It wasn't possible to learn it just like that; there was no chance!
But Sheng Qianmei was not going to give up so easily. She spoke softly, "I've heard that Huaxia medical arts are rarely passed on to outsiders, some even only from male to male, isn't that right?"
"That's not the problem!" Liu Wentian stated truthfully.
"So, does that mean you won't teach your medical arts to outsiders?" Sheng Qianmei blinked her eyes and suddenly burst into laughter, saying, "How about this, I'll be your girlfriend? That way, I'm not an outsider, right?"
Liu Wentian suddenly felt overwhelmed.
"It's not like that..." Liu Wentian turned to leave!
"Ah? That's not okay either, does it mean only... certain conditions would work?" Sheng Qianmei chased after him again, pulling at his arm as if terrified he'd run away.
"You... what are you after?" Liu Wentian had never encountered such a girl before, who clings to a man like this?
Where was the reserve that girls were supposed to have?
He had no idea that Sheng Qianmei was typically very aloof towards men; it was only for medicine that she had a fanatical passion. At Yale University, she even earned herself the nickname "Med-crazy."
"Ah, I get it, is it that I have to marry you, birth a child for you, to be considered an insider?"
It seemed Sheng Qianmei suddenly realized something and said with a smile, "That's not out of the question either! What do you think of me?"
"..."
Liu Wentian quickly freed himself from Sheng Qianmei's grasp and fled.
Just for the sake of learning acupuncture, she was willing to marry herself off?
Women out there really are tigers, oh so frightening indeed!
Sheng Qianmei continued the pursuit, but when Liu Wentian started to run with full force, it was no ordinary speed, and Sheng Qianmei quickly lost track of him.
"Hmph, the medical skills I've taken a liking to, you think you can just run away? Liu Wentian, just you wait!"
Sheng Qianmei stood there with hands on hips, the picture of unwillingness.
Watching the news, he learned that the crisis at Angel Hospital had been resolved.
Seeing the news footage of Dean Zhu Miaoqing talking at length, boasting grandiosely, Liu Wentian felt particularly nauseated.
If Vice Dean Gou Wudao was a barking ferocious dog, then Dean Zhu Miaoqing was a sly old fox.
He was the one who had resolved the issue, yet when it came to news broadcasts and dispensing credit, his name hadn't even been mentioned once! How sad!
