Gu Qin did not speak and directly extended her hand to feel Li Qi's pulse. There was only one doctor, and seeing that the patient's family didn't stop her, it was useless to get angry. The doctor said to Li Boss, "You just let her make a fool of herself. Really, I can understand your feelings, but this is a hospital, and things should be done according to the hospital's rules. What does a young girl like her know?"
Gu Qin ignored the doctor's incessant talking and carefully checked Li Qi's pulse. The pulse was very faint, but in the practice of metaphysical medicine, as long as there was breath in a person, life could still be sustained. Gu Qin planned to try acupuncture and Qi to help.
Li Yongsheng asked cautiously, "Miss Gu, how is my son? Can he be treated?"
Gu Qin nodded, "It's worth trying."
"Ridiculous, ridiculous!" The doctor was so angry his face turned green, "You little girl, what do you plan to do for treatment? I saw you just took the pulse, right? That means you're using traditional Chinese medicine, but our hospital also has skilled Chinese medicine doctors. Both Western and Chinese medicine have been tried for this patient's condition, and the senior Chinese doctors have said it won't work. Chinese medicine can't treat it."
Gu Qin knew very well that Chinese medicine couldn't treat it; she didn't plan on using it. Instead, she intended to use acupuncture to stimulate the brain and then transmit her Qi to help repair the brain. Qi is the vital essence of a person, and the universe is born from Qi, as it is the origin of everything. In philosophical terms, Qi is the fundamental material that constitutes all things, so one can see how important Qi is for the human body.
Of course, Gu Qin couldn't explain this to everyone. Ordinary people wouldn't understand what Qi was, and they would think it was too abstract and unreal. She knew the doctor definitely wouldn't believe in this, so she didn't plan to argue with him, as long as she had the patient's family on her side.
Gu Qin said to Li Yongsheng, "Li Uncle, my suggestion is to send Li Da-ge to a rehabilitation center and find an expert in neurology, a retired senior doctor to take care of him. I will come every morning to treat him for two hours..."
The doctor, ignored, became even angrier, "You little girl, what do you know?"
"Doctor," Gu Qin suddenly spoke, "Can you cure Li Da-ge? Didn't you just say that the family should give up on the patient? Since you're planning to give up on him, why not let me try? What are you afraid of? Afraid that if I succeed, it will slap you in the face?"
The doctor's face flushed red, "You... You little girl, how can you be so ungrateful?"
Gu Qin knew this doctor was stubborn and would not accept anything beyond his understanding. Such people only believe in themselves, and anything beyond their imagination would be rejected. She couldn't be bothered to argue further and turned to look at Li Yongsheng. Parents in this world are most concerned about their children. Since the hospital had given up, they wouldn't. They would try everything as long as there was even the slightest possibility.
Li Yongsheng immediately decided, "I'll contact the rehabilitation center and the doctors right now."
Actually, Gu Qin could treat Li Qi in the hospital, but the hospital's director was Li's father-in-law, the one who had once tried to harvest her heart. If she treated the patient here, it would be reported, and the director would surely recognize her. This person was capable of things like transplanting a living person's heart, so it was possible that he would use some underhanded means to harm Li Qi if he found out she was involved.
For this reason, Gu Qin decided it was better to send the patient to the rehabilitation center and have an expert there help with the care.
The doctor was now so angry he couldn't speak. Gu Qin said, "Li Uncle, I'll go prepare some things. Once you arrange for Li Da-ge to be sent over, give me the address, and I'll start his treatment tomorrow morning."
Gu Qin left the hospital, fearing the doctor might report the situation. If Director Chen came, she didn't want to see him right now. After the court session tomorrow, she would see the trial result. If the law didn't punish them, she would deal with it in her own way.
After leaving the hospital, Gu Qin went to the bank and transferred a million to Cheng Yinxiang's account. The family debts could now be cleared, and the remaining money was for her mother. That evening, Gu Qin received a call from Li Yongsheng, telling her that Li Qi had been sent to the rehabilitation center and everything was arranged, so Gu Qin could go directly.
Gu Qin had already bought acupuncture tools, and the trial was at 9 AM the next day, so there was enough time. She wasn't in a hurry and, as usual, went to practice first, only leaving at six to head to the rehabilitation center.
Li Qi's mother, named Lü Xiumiao, had endured a lot with Li Yongsheng to build their family and raise their son, Li Qi. Now that their child was in trouble, she couldn't leave his side for a moment and was living at the rehabilitation center to care for him. When she saw Gu Qin, Lü Xiumiao hurriedly stood up, "Miss Gu, you're here? Will you start treating my son now?"
Gu Qin nodded, "The treatment won't show immediate results. I'll come every day for two hours. During the treatment, no one can enter; otherwise, I will be distracted. This treatment must not have the slightest distraction, otherwise, it could directly endanger Li Da-ge's life. Li Aunt, are you still willing to let me treat him?"
Her words were straightforward. Treating with Qi wasn't easy. Qi could repair various organs, but it was difficult to control. If she didn't have the third eye, she wouldn't even be able to see Qi, let alone control it. Without the third eye, one would have to reach at least the stage of refining Qi into spirit to see and control Qi. So with her current cultivation, she had to be extremely careful and couldn't afford any distractions.
Lü Xiumiao covered her mouth and started crying. After a while, she wiped her tears and nodded, her eyes red, "As long as there's even a bit of hope, I won't give up. No matter the result, thank you, Miss Gu. I... I'll leave now so I won't disturb you."
Gu Qin locked the door, disinfected the silver needles, and inserted them one by one into Li Qi. Her right palm rested on his lower abdomen, over the dantian.
In her previous life, Gu Qin's cultivation had only reached the late stage of refining Qi into spirit, so she had never used Qi to save someone. This was the first time. At first, she used a very faint stream of Qi to enter Li Qi's body, traveling through the meridians to reach the brain. His brain was severely damaged, and the Qi finally stayed in the brain, slowly nurturing the brainstem. Gu Qin needed to continuously and slowly transmit more Qi into Li Qi's body.
Two hours later, her face turned pale, and she was covered in sweat. She had never been so exhausted even during training at the base. She sat and meditated for ten minutes to recover before leaving. She didn't want to delay any further, as she still needed to shower and head to court.
When she came out of the room, Lü Xiumiao was startled, "Miss Gu, are you alright?"
Gu Qin shook her head, "Where's the shower? I'll wash up first; I still have something to do. I'll come earlier tomorrow."
She quickly took a shower, intending to wear her sweat-soaked clothes to court. Just then, there was a knock on the door outside the bathroom. "Miss Gu, are you in there? My daughter-in-law has come with a set of clothes. I saw yours are wet with sweat. Why don't you wear my daughter-in-law's clothes first? I'll bring them back later."
"Thank you, Li Aunt." Gu Qin didn't refuse. The clothes were a simple sleeveless white dress. After a moment's hesitation, Gu Qin decided to wear it and went out. She thought it was appropriate, as she wouldn't always wear such clothes in the future.
The court was not far, and Gu Qin managed to arrive before the session began.
Cheng Yinxiang was waiting for her outside. They entered together and sat down in the front row on the plaintiff's side. The defendants, Gu Yuanjiang, Director Chen, anesthesiologists, and other doctors and medical assistants, were present. Many relatives of the Gu family had come too. Luo Wenfen, who was recovering, was glaring at Cheng Yinxiang and Gu Qin.
The prosecutor, Gao Yi, stood up when the judge gave the signal to speak. He bowed slightly and said, "Plaintiff Cheng Yinxiang accuses the defendants on the bench, Gu Yuanjiang, Chen Zonggui, Ma Zhonghu, and others, of attempting to murder the plaintiff's daughter, Gu Qin, by illegally harvesting her heart for an illegal heart transplant. The plaintiff's father, as the defendant, initially tricked his daughter into agreeing to donate a kidney. After the plaintiff agreed, she entered the operating room but was actually undergoing heart transplant surgery. Here are the plaintiff's electrocardiograms, photos of her wounds, the kidney donation document, and a video taken outside the operating room, all proving that the plaintiff had no heart disease, proving that the defendants intentionally and maliciously carried out the live heart transplant and are guilty of malpractice."
The defense lawyer, a tall and slim man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, looked sharp. This was Yu, the lawyer who Gu Yuanjiang claimed had never lost a case. He stood up, adjusted his glasses, and said, "My client is not guilty of murder. My client merely misdiagnosed the plaintiff. From the electrocardiogram, it is clear that the plaintiff had heart issues. However, we do apologize because the doctor mixed up the medical records of another heart disease patient with Miss Gu's. This is why the surgery was performed, and the surgery form even has the signature of the plaintiff's father."
Gao Yi replied, "The defendant is not mistaken. Please look at these pieces of evidence, and the donation form signed by the plaintiff's father is even more impossible. The matching result on the kidney donation document clearly shows that Gu Qin had no heart disease. Otherwise, the matching wouldn't have passed. This proves that the document signed by the plaintiff's father is fake, fabricated. Or is the kidney donation document also forged by the defendant Gu Yuanjiang to trick his daughter into the operating room?"
Yu lawyer adjusted his glasses, "The kidney donation document is naturally real. We have witnesses..."
Indeed, the kidney donation document was real. A young man in his teens was brought to the court by his father, both of them were very emotional. They started accusing Gu Qin, asking why she had agreed to donate her kidney and then changed her mind, giving them hope and then letting them down.
Gu Qin frowned. She had always thought the donation form was fabricated by bribed people, but it seemed to be real? However, she had never seen these two people before. Their clothing was good
, and their demeanor was also rather strange. Gu Qin's face turned pale, and she suddenly remembered something from her past. Would they be…
