Li Weiguo's face showed shock when he heard Ye Chen's words. Who was this person, and how did he know that he had been a soldier and had been wounded!
What shocked Li Weiguo the most was that he did indeed have a secret ailment. Although it was not usually noticeable, his limbs would ache severely on rainy days.
This was something that hardly anyone knew about, not even his parents were aware.
Ye Chen's words were a sharp revelation for Li Weiguo!
"Huzi, let go of that gentleman!"
Li Weiguo spoke to the bodyguard blocking Ye Chen, expressing his respect for Ye Chen by addressing him as a gentleman.
The bodyguard released Ye Chen, and everyone around widened their eyes in disbelief. Had this young man bluffed his way through accurately?
Even Yu Zhengqing was staring with wide eyes, his expression one of shock. Did he, who pretended to be a mystic every day, just encounter a True God?!
Ye Chen walked over, feeling rather dashing, knowing that Ye Wushuang was watching him with eyes full of shock.
"Sir, my illness..."
Li Weiguo began to ask Ye Chen if there was any chance of curing his secret ailment.
Whenever it rained, his body was in great pain; it was like a non-human torture for him.
"The child is fine! But, this old lady has acute cerebral hemorrhage, I'm afraid she can't last a minute, she's about to die!"
Ye Chen spoke with a peculiar persuasive power that made people naturally believe every word he said.
However, that sentence felt like a bucket of cold water pouring over Li Weiguo, leaving him very unsettled.
The horns of passing cars would sound from the road, but the crowd gathered around was very quiet, struck by Ye Chen's previous statement.
The onlookers also started to believe that Ye Chen had some genuine skills, but his statement was too sharp—saying the woman wouldn't last a minute before dying!
"Brother, look at you!" Li Weiguo said nervously, rubbing his hands together in a helpless manner.
Since Ye Chen dared to step forward in front of everyone, he must have a way to resolve the current crisis.
Moreover, Ye Chen's ability to discern his secret ailment at a glance made Li Weiguo develop an inexplicable trust in him, believing that Ye Chen had the capability!
"Who are you? You say it's cerebral hemorrhage as if it's that simple; you didn't even observe her, do you think you're Hua Tuo?!"
Ye Wushuang had an angry expression on her face, completely disbelieving Ye Chen's words.
Li Weiguo believed in Ye Chen, but that didn't mean everyone else did.
Yu Zhengqing quietly tugged at Ye Wushuang's sleeve at that moment, as he suddenly sensed that what Ye Chen said made sense. The old lady indeed appeared to have symptoms of acute cerebral hemorrhage.
Moreover, what Yu Zhengqing found hardest to believe was that he saw a resemblance to his mentor in this construction worker!
Yu Zhengqing came from a notable family, and after graduation, his family pulled strings to get him a mentor in the medical field of great authority. His mentor was a top authority in the country!
But when this construction worker spoke, he eerily resembled his mentor, how could it not shock Yu Zhengqing.
However, with the powerful backing behind Ye Wushuang, Yu Zhengqing dared only to curry favor and not to offend.
"Useless thing! Are you the doctor, or is he? Where did all your bragging skills go, go ahead and save my granny then!"
Ye Wushuang was quite domineering. But she felt utterly let down by Yu Zhengqing, especially after she had just placed immense trust in him!
"Wushuang, stop making a scene, who knows, maybe he really can cure her," Yu Zhengqing said, feeling somewhat guilty.
Ye Chen didn't care about the beauty's challenging behavior and squatted next to the old lady to observe her. After doing so, his brow furrowed even more deeply.
"Don't let anyone disturb me!"
Ye Chen instructed Li Weiguo, naturally exuding an irresistible authority.
"Yes!"
Li Weiguo gave a standard military salute, which was a reflex, for Ye Chen seemed to him an old superior, commanding and irresistible!
Seeing Li Weiguo giving such a solemn and serious military salute, the atmosphere around quietened down because this construction worker seemed truly out of the ordinary.
Could this construction worker really be a reclusive master?
Ye Chen slightly lifted the old lady's head with his left hand, while his right hand, at some point, had pinched a thin, several-inch-long Golden Needle!
The Golden Needle was extremely thin and trembled as if it would break just from being held, yet Ye Chen's grip was firm as he inserted the several-inch-long Golden Needle into the back of the old lady's head.
"My God!"
Someone who saw this scene closed their eyes immediately, scared.
"Damn it! I didn't expect to use the Golden Needle Crossing Calamity; I wonder how much True Qi it will cost me!"
Ye Chen secretly channeled his True Qi into the Golden Needle, dissolving the old lady's cerebral hemorrhage. The True Qi could only be effectively utilized through the medium of the Golden Needle.
This was akin to the external manifestation of True Qi in martial arts novels, where a punch could hurt someone from a hundred steps away.
However, Ye Chen was saving a life—inserting the Golden Needle into the brain required extreme precision or it could destroy both needle and life!
```
One can imagine how difficult it is to perform the Golden Needle Crossing Calamity!
A fine thread of black blood trickled from the back of the old woman's head, the blood flowing more and more until it finally pooled on the ground along Ye Chen's arm.
Drip-drop... Drip-drop...
Some people had already fainted from this scene. Those were needles tens of centimeters long being stabbed right into the brain, and now blood was flowing out. This had to be the end of a life.
The old lady's head was bleeding, and Ye Chen was sweating profusely; even with his substantial True Qi, performing the Golden Needle Crossing Calamity was very difficult, especially when healing the fragile brain.
Li Weiguo was visibly excited. He truly recognized that Ye Chen possessed exceptional skills. When he had noticed a glimpse of green light shimmering on the needle as it pierced the old woman's head, his keen eyes did not deceive him.
"Yu Zhengqing, he just took a big needle and stabbed it into that old lady's brain, and so much blood has flowed out. Could it kill her?"
As still just a girl, Ye Wushuang was petrified when she saw Ye Chen acting so brutally, sticking such a long needle into someone's head.
"Miss Ye, we might have really encountered a master this time."
Yu Zhengqing was also deeply shocked, but he had a broader horizon and knew that Ye Chen possessed unique skills.
"A master?" Ye Wushuang inquired curiously, her eyes wide with wonder.
"That needle is so fine and fragile that it would bend if we held it in our hands, let alone pierce someone's skull. The skull is extremely tight and impregnable. To insert such a thin and long needle is no easy feat. This laborer brother might really be a reclusive master!"
Yu Zhengqing said sheepishly, reflecting on how he had almost caused harm before, but fortunately, a remarkable person had descended from the heavens to resolve this crisis.
The skills Ye Chen displayed were simply breathtaking. He won everyone's admiration, addressing him respectfully as the laborer brother.
"That seems to make a lot of sense!" Ye Wushuang nodded her head as she heard this.
The people around also nodded their heads as if they came to the same realization after hearing Yu Zhengqing's explanation, indeed, it seemed to make a lot of sense.
In the end, the congestion inside the old lady's head was fully drained, and Ye Chen carefully manipulated his True Qi, gently pulling the needle out.
"Dammit, that's exhausting; this is just unbearable for any person!"
After Ye Chen fully removed the needle, he loudly complained. The effort of performing the Golden Needle Crossing Calamity was overwhelming; even slaughtering through enemy ranks wouldn't have tired him out as much as this.
"You've worked so hard, elderly one!" Li Weiguo approached, ingratiating himself, his face breaking into deep folds of joy as if flowers were blooming radiantly.
"Don't disturb me, it's not over yet!"
Ye Chen warned the approaching Li Weiguo, but his tone already bore a hint of light-heartedness, as if no great trouble was in sight.
"Sir! Please continue, and be sure to cure the old lady thoroughly!"
Li Weiguo halted immediately and fawned over Ye Chen, as this could affect his livelihood.
After all, jobs weren't easy to come by these days, and even if one found work, the salary might not be satisfying.
Ye Chen glanced at the fawning Li Weiguo and smacked his lips, showcasing an air of superiority and thought to himself: Since you're calling me sir, I might as well play the part reluctantly!
Meanwhile, with no time to waste, Ye Chen spread his palm over the old lady's nape, a layer of green light enveloping his hand, and the small puncture from the needle began to heal slowly. This was Ye Chen employing the Supreme Profound Skill, adjusting the muscular tissue in the old lady's brain to expedite the healing of the small wound.
However, Ye Chen's movements were so secretive that no one saw this miraculous scene.
"Whew~!"
Finally, Ye Chen took a long breath, the golden needle turned into a thread of gold, which he coiled around his ring finger.
"Done!" With the old lady tucked in safely, Ye Chen stood up and declared with a casual air.
Seeing Ye Chen's relaxed expression, Li Weiguo knew that the old woman might have escaped danger and was overwhelmed with joy, about to shower Ye Chen with flattery.
"You say it's done just because you say so? The old lady has bled so much because of you, and she still hasn't woken up. Who knows if she's been jabbed to death by you!"
Ye Wushuang shouted aloud and stepped forward, getting in front of Li Weiguo. She grabbed Ye Chen's camouflage jacket because she feared he might run away.
Ye Wushuang, who came from a prestigious family, had seen all sorts of situations. This detestable laborer had tricked and coaxed his way to inserting such a long needle into the old lady's head. If he ran off and the old lady died, what then?
It has to be said, Ye Wushuang truly possessed a strong sense of justice, and her actions inspired the people around her.
Li Weiguo frowned again, and as Ye Wushuang raised her voice, fear crept into his heart; he couldn't afford for the lady to really suffer a mishap.
"Screw you! When I take action, I can bring even the dead back to life, and you dare doubt my medical skills!" Ye Chen was enraged and bellowed, shaking off Ye Wushuang's hand with a jerk.
"Then why hasn't the old lady woken up yet?" Ye Wushuang demanded loudly.
The crowd around them nodded earnestly, thinking to themselves, if you claim you can revive the dead, why hasn't the old lady woken up yet?
Yu Zhengqing quietly stepped back, not wanting to be associated with the fierce woman known as Ye Wushuang. So beautiful, yet so mindless with her words.
Damn it, this is a cerebral hemorrhage, not sleep; you think she'll just wake up by opening her eyes!
"Are you the clown sent by the monkey?" Ye Chen asked rhetorically, almost mockingly.
"What did you say!" Ye Wushuang's face darkened, her heart brimming with rage, thinking: Laborers really have no manners.
Yu Zhengqing quietly sweat for Ye Chen; Miss Ye had been pampered since childhood and was not to be trifled with. Once, a maid gossiped about her, and that maid disappeared, bedridden for three months.
Ye Chen, though unhappy, nevertheless moved towards the old lady and crouched down, placing his right hand on the back of her head.
