Chapter 5 - Chapter 4: Is it a Human or a Ghost?

"The Jiuwei acupuncture point and Guanyuan acupuncture point both belong to the Ren meridian, and manipulating them can shock the blood vessels, damage the internal organs, cause blood stagnation, and even shock the heart's vessels causing death!" Tong Kai said solemnly, "Seeing your skilled and experienced needle technique, you must be from a family of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Don't you know that these two major acupoints should not be touched lightly?"

Tong Kai was the head of the emergency department at Quancheng Central Hospital, where he had four main diagnosis teams under him. He was well-versed in both Chinese and Western medicine and was also quite renowned nationwide as a medical expert. Therefore, he immediately noticed that Lin Feng's needle technique was quite exceptional, but he definitely wasn't a novice. However, for someone like him, why would he manipulate the Jiuwei and Guanyuan acupoints, the two prohibited points?

"Boy, did you hear that? Stop immediately!" Zhang Li exclaimed, seeing the head of the department say so and quickly rebuked.

Lin Feng cursed inwardly, "This damn old fraud! So these two acupoints are lethal! I am doomed this time!" Thinking this, Lin Feng tried to stop the formation, but suddenly realized that his hands were not obeying his commands, which caused him great alarm!

At that moment, Qi Luyi's voice rang in his mind, "Boy, don't be afraid! This Tong Kai knows only a little and dares to show off in front of me?! Hmph! Just explain to him as I told you!"

"Director Tong, although these two spots are lethal points on the human body that should not be touched lightly, they can obstruct the blood flow and slow it down! At this moment, the injured has a ruptured transverse colon, and even the liver and spleen have suffered blunt trauma! The two acupoints I chose are exactly to obstruct the blood flow speed of these organs, buying you time to perform surgery when you return! Otherwise, if you take the injured back to the hospital and then prepare for surgery, it would at least take half an hour. Do you think she can last for half an hour? I hear Director Tong is also a master of TCM. Have you never heard of the 'inverse needle flow'?" Lin Feng said assertively, following Qi Luyi's instructions.

"Inverse needle flow!" Tong Kai's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

"Young man, are you using the legendary inverse needle flow? Isn't it said that the inverse needle flow was lost?" Tong Kai suddenly felt a bit short of breath.

"The inverse needle flow was lost in the hands of Bian Que, but did Director Tong know that Bian Que had two brothers? Actually, the inverse needle flow was developed by the three brothers together! And, only the inverse needle flow can perform needling on lethal points. Shouldn't you, Director Tong, be aware of that?"

The inverse needle flow was a needling technique developed by Bian Que in his later years, different from conventional needling theories. It emphasizes treating according to the diagnosis, acting in a contrary manner, and hence the name "inverse needle."

However, soon after Bian Que developed this technique, he was murdered before he could pass it down, making it a great regret among subsequent generations of medical scholars.

"And a ruptured transverse colon! Boy, do you think you have X-ray vision?! How dare you speak so boldly!" Zhang Li disdainfully said.

By this time, under Lin Feng's needling, the complexion of the injured began to show some color, no longer the pale face as before.

Tong Kai, after hearing Lin Feng's words, carefully watched Lin Feng perform the needling technique and continuously observed the changes in the injured.

Upon hearing Zhang Li's words, he frowned and said softly, "Shut up!"

"What? Director Tong, you're telling me to shut up?" Zhang Li seemed not to have heard clearly, and paused.

"Director Tong, you're letting this unknown kid give acupuncture to the injured. If it delays the medical condition, who will take responsibility? The internal bleeding of the injured is life-threatening any moment!" Finally realizing the situation, Zhang Li felt disgraced.

Tong Kai looked coldly at Zhang Li and remained silent.

Angry within, Zhang Li knew he could not do much since Tong Kai was his direct superior, so he had to suppress his feelings for now.

However, Zhang Li held a growing resentment towards Lin Feng.

"Lin Feng! Hmph! Boy, just you wait, you'll suffer for this!" Zhang Li thought bitterly as he looked at Lin Feng.

Just then, Lin Feng finished the needling and stood up, addressing Director Tong, "Director Tong, I have now slowed down the injured's blood flow to the slowest with the inverse needle flow. Now hurry back for the surgery; as long as it's done within half an hour, the patient's life will be in no great danger."

"Quick, get the injured into the ambulance!" Tong Kai said loudly.

No sooner had he spoken than the emergency medical staff ran up, lifting both the injured man and woman into the ambulance.

At the same time, all the medical staff couldn't help but look at Zhang Li, revealing a hint of a smile in their eyes.

Indeed, it was a smile.

Zhang Li, the associate chief physician of the emergency department, was usually strict with his subordinates, often to the point of being troublesome and reproachful. Therefore, everyone disliked him. Today, seeing Tong Kai scolding Zhang Li in front of so many people, everyone couldn't help but cheer internally!

Zhang Li saw the expressions of his colleagues and his hatred towards Lin Feng and Tong Kai deepened even more!

"I wonder if Doctor Lin has time? Shall we go together to Quancheng Central Hospital to check on the condition of the patient?" Tong Kai hurriedly said.

Upon learning that Lin Feng had used the reverse needle technique, he couldn't help but admire him and wanted to learn from Lin Feng.

"But I have the night shift tonight!" Lin Feng said with a troubled expression.

"No worries! It's only noon now, and the surgery will be conducted as soon as we get down the mountain. It definitely won't delay Doctor Lin's night shift. Besides, Doctor Lin needs to drive down the mountain anyway, why not ride with us?" Tong Kai said with a smile.

"Well, that's a good idea!" Lin Feng thought the words of Tong Kai made sense, and he also wanted to see exactly where the patient was injured and whether the words of that old swindler could be trusted or not.

"Great! Then let's go!" Tong Kai exclaimed with joy and personally accompanied Lin Feng into the car.

Zhang Li followed behind, his teeth itching with hatred, his mind cursing Lin Feng and Tong Kai and their ancestors and relatives thoroughly.

The moment they got into the ambulance, Tong Kai immediately dialed a number: "This is Tong Kai! Prepare an operating room immediately, we'll perform emergency surgery once we're back!"

After hanging up the phone, Tong Kai turned to Lin Feng and said, "Doctor Lin, where did you learn this reverse needle technique?"

Lin Feng gave a slight smile and replied, "Why? Is Director Tong also interested in the reverse needle technique?" Tong Kai was momentarily stunned, then seemed to recall something and chuckled, swiftly changing the subject without further mention of the reverse needle technique.

With the assistance of traffic police, their descent from the mountain was extremely fast, and they returned to the Central Hospital in just ten minutes.

After conducting simple pre-surgery preparations (blood type, blood reserve, routine blood test, coagulation, biochemistry, tumor markers, etc.) and a CT scan, the patient was immediately wheeled into the emergency operating room.

At Tong Kai's persistent request, Lin Feng also changed into surgical attire and stood by in the operating room.

Before the operation table, Zhang Li smirked inwardly: "Once we open the abdominal cavity, if it's not as you described, let's see how you'll handle it."

"Start!" The anesthesiologist announced, and the surgery officially began.

"What?! How can this be?!" The moment they opened the abdominal cavity, Zhang Li was shocked to find that indeed, the transverse colon was ruptured and both the liver and spleen had crush injuries! Moreover, Zhang Li noticed something very eerie—the blood flow in the liver and spleen was incredibly slow!

"How is this possible?" Zhang Li was unbelievably shocked!

Tong Kai also witnessed everything, his eyes lit up, and all the doubts he had previously vanished without a trace!

If there was someone most shocked, it was certainly Lin Feng!

All this was accurately predicted by that old swindler!

"Is he human or a ghost?" Lin Feng secretly wondered.
