Chapter 172 I'm Giving Up Treatment
The head of the Zhong family led a group of people to a hospital room.
The old man of the Zhong family, lying on the hospital bed, was all blue and his breath came and went.
He was covered in tubes and was kept alive by a bunch of machines and medicine.
There was also a group of professional medical staff on standby, taking care of her every step of the way.
"If it weren't for Xiao's Pharmaceutical developing the Rejuvenating Pill, which kept the old man afloat, he would have collapsed long ago..." The head of the Zhong family sighed.
"Gentlemen, the old man's condition is extremely serious. Any stimulation could cause him to take his last breath, so I can't let you all examine him one by one," he said with difficulty.
Although it wasn't explicitly stated, the meaning is quite clear.
"That's easy! Let whoever has the best medical skills treat the patient," Song Wenjie said immediately.
“I think there is no one here more skilled than Doctor Tang. He is a near-master-level physician!” Song Yucheng said with a smile.
"We have brought the latest life-saving drug developed by the largest pharmaceutical group in the world, Amerex. It can even pull the most seriously ill people back from the brink of death and extend their lives by a few more years," the Illuminati member said confidently.
Only Xiao Chen and Dongfang Ruyi remained silent.
"Young man invited by the Xiao family, may I ask your name and whether you have any good ideas?" someone asked Xiao Chen.
Of the three people who came here, Xiao Chen is the youngest. Even though he was invited by the Xiao family patriarch, the Zhong family finds it hard to trust him.
"I don't have a name, and we'll only know how to treat it after seeing the patient," Xiao Chen replied.
"Heh, he's from the south of the city and doesn't even have a medical license. If he were to treat Old Master Zhong, it would surely lead to a tragedy," Song Wenjie mocked.
The Zhong family was stunned by what they heard.
You don't even have a medical license?
What is the old man of the Xiao family up to?
"Is this... really true?" the Zhong family asked Xiao Chen.
“I can testify because we are from the same clan,” Xiao Yichen said calmly.
"Whatever they say goes." Xiao Chen was too lazy to argue or debate.
The Zhong family members looked at each other, their brows furrowing.
"Since there's a debate, why don't we have a competition to see whose medical skills are superior!" Song Yucheng suggested.
The Zhong family members nodded in agreement, feeling that it was a good idea to adopt the approach.
"I won't compete; let them treat me," Xiao Chen said calmly.
"Heh, you know you've run out of tricks and you're feeling guilty, aren't you? You've already been exposed so quickly, how dare you come to the Zhong family to swindle people?" Song Wenjie immediately mocked.
The Zhong family members' expressions turned sour upon hearing this.
"You're very noisy," Xiao Chen said coldly, raising his hand slightly.
"Whoosh!"
A flash of silver light disappeared in an instant, and Song Wenjie suddenly stiffened, convulsed, and collapsed to the ground.
A silver needle was inserted into his throat...
Everyone present was taken aback.
They couldn't even see a trace of Xiao Chen's silver needles; his speed was simply astonishing.
If the shot hits a vital spot, few people on the scene would be confident they could defend against it.
The experts all became serious about Xiao Chen.
Xiao Yichen's face was gloomy.
The more capable and resourceful Xiao Chen became, the more uncomfortable he felt.
"Wenjie!" Song Yucheng quickly removed the silver needles, helped Song Wenjie up, and glared angrily at Xiao Chen.
"What did you do? What will happen to him?"
"It's nothing serious, just a few days without being able to speak," Xiao Chen said calmly.
"Xiao Chen, this is the Zhong family's territory. How dare you use such violence here? You are showing no respect for the Zhong family!" Song Yucheng rebuked angrily.
“Young Brother Xiao Chen, you have indeed been too presumptuous. If it weren’t for the sake of Old Master Xiao, your actions just now would have been a provocation, and you would have to pay the price!” an elder of the Zhong family said in a deep voice.
Many members of the Zhong family showed dissatisfaction with Xiao Chen.
"If it weren't for Old Master Xiao's recommendation, I would really suspect you're here to cause trouble. The old master wouldn't let you treat him!" someone said indignantly.
Xiao Chen smiled slightly and walked to the side.
“If it weren’t for Old Master Xiao’s influence, I wouldn’t have bothered to make this trip, and I wouldn’t have sought treatment.”
He simply sat down on the side and became a spectator.
The Zhong family members wanted to speak, but were stopped by the head of the Zhong family.
"After all, it was invited by Old Master Xiao..." he said.
"Then please have Physician Tang take a look first," the Zhong family head said, bowing to Tang Qing.
Tang Qing nodded and walked to the bedside to take the patient's pulse.
Xiao Yichen and the Xiao family father and son were both confident.
After examining Tang Qing's body using the four diagnostic methods of traditional Chinese medicine (physiognomy, physiognomy, and diagnostic methods), his expression turned grave.
"The poison your old man has been given is no ordinary poison..." he said in a deep voice.
"I'll release the poison first to try and alleviate the toxicity."
After saying that, Tang Qing laid out a pair of silver needles.
With a flick of his wrist, three silver needles floated up.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Chen's expression hardened slightly, as if he were deep in thought.
"This is Physician Tang's signature technique, the Three Needles Falling Like the Milky Way!" Song Yucheng exclaimed in amazement.
Everyone looked on with anticipation.
As Tang Qing manipulated the three silver needles to fall, the patient began to tremble.
Then he gently cut a small gash in the patient's finger, and dark blood flowed out.
At the same time, a pungent odor was released.
Xiao Chen's gaze shifted slightly.
With his skill, he could identify the type of poison just by smelling it.
But it's not just a poison.
"Heart-piercing powder, life-snatching incense," Xiao Chen muttered to himself.
Piercing Heart Powder is a unique poison of the Illuminati. It was used by the Illuminati infiltrated into the Xiao family in an attempt to fight to the death, but it was easily neutralized by Xiao Chen.
"Deadly Incense" is a relatively ancient poison, and it is highly toxic, even more potent than "Heart-Piercing Powder."
"The Soul-Snatching Incense, isn't that the poison from the Heavenly King's Palace?" Dongfang Ruyi asked, her voice low and her brows furrowed.
Xiao Chen looked at her.
“I’ve read the Martial Alliance’s secret manual; it’s recorded there,” Dongfang Ruyi said with certainty.
Xiao Chen glanced at Xiao Yichen and his group, as well as the three members of the Illuminati, with a mocking expression.
That's really something.
Both sides resorted to despicable means, poisoning the Zhong family and then offering to cure them in order to gain their favor.
However, they probably didn't expect that Old Master Zhong was poisoned by two kinds of rare toxins.
This is adding poison to poison; these two sides are unlikely to be easily resolved.
After the poisoned blood was released, Grandpa Zhong's complexion improved somewhat, but he remained unconscious.
"The toxicity... has penetrated deep into the bone marrow..." Tang Qing sighed in distress.
"Unfortunately, my skills are not proficient enough, and I can only use three needles. If that person were to use them, they could use the legendary nine needles, which can force out any kind of poison!"
"Dr. Tang, is the person you mentioned more skilled than you?" the Zhong family asked.
"They're worlds apart, there's no comparison. I've only learned a tiny fraction of what he taught me," Tang Qing said with shame.
Upon hearing this, everyone was astonished.
Tang Qing is a near-master-level physician, just waiting for the procedures to be completed before he can be ranked in the hall of fame. Yet he actually said that his medical skills are not even a drop in the ocean compared to that person's!
"Then... could we invite him here?" The Zhong family members asked anxiously.
Tang Qing shook his head.
He is no longer alive.
The Zhong family members' faces darkened.
"Don't be discouraged, everyone. I have an antidote pill here that can cure all poisons!" Xiao Yichen said with a smile, taking out a porcelain bottle.
