The doctors and nurses at the First Affiliated Hospital of the Provincial Medical University, who had escorted Bai Lang in, would never have dreamed that the Super Doctor Ye Yinhuan requested was Chen Xiao, who looked no older than twenty-something.
Huang Zhengtao, the deputy chief physician leading the group, saw an opportunity to curry favor with Ye Yinhuan and, in a fit of rage, pointed a finger at Chen Xiao's forehead and yelled, "Kid, how dare you speak to Chairman Ye like that? Apologize immediately, or else..."
Before he could finish, Ye Yinhuan, who had been seething with resentment, suddenly slapped him hard across the face. "How dare you! Who gave you permission to speak to Doctor Chen like that?"
With that, Ye Yinhuan knelt down before Chen Xiao with a thud, wiping the ground with her sleeve regardless of her appearance, and pleaded with him subserviently, "Doctor Chen, as long as my son can live, I'll do anything you ask..."
Huang Zhengtao and the other doctors and nurses were stunned, all looking at Chen Xiao in disbelief. "This kid, who looks good-looking but is otherwise useless, is actually the Super Doctor who gave Bai Lang the life-saving needle?"
The thought of this possibility made Huang Zhengtao regret it deeply. However, remembering that the ancient texts stated that very few people could master the first two needles of the "Life-Creating Needle" technique, Huang Zhengtao doubted Chen Xiao could still save Bai Lang. He said sarcastically, "Doctor Chen, Chairman Ye has humbled herself so much, you must save Young Master Bai!"
Completely ignoring Huang Zhengtao, whose demeanor was as detestable as Gou Shunquan's, Chen Xiao casually lifted Bai Lang's hospital gown and began to insert needles. The mysterious, wordless golden formula in his mind spun rapidly, and six silver needles fell onto Bai Lang's body like a sudden downpour. The portable electrocardiograph immediately showed that the vital signs, which had been infinitely close to the line of death, began to fluctuate rapidly. The alarm stopped, and it all took less than a minute!
"This... this... this this this..." Huang Zhengtao was utterly dumbfounded. "This is actually the complete Life-Creating Needle from ancient texts! How... how is this possible?"
Amidst Huang Zhengtao's exclamations, Bai Lang, who had been on the verge of death just minutes ago, showed signs of waking up. The ceramic fruit knife plunged into his chest seemed like a prop from a movie.
Ye Yinhuan, still kneeling and wiping the ground, was both shocked and overjoyed. She instinctively grabbed Chen Xiao's leg and cried, "Doctor Chen, please, just pull the fruit knife from my son's chest. Name your price, any amount, and I'll give it to you, sob sob..."
Chen Xiao sneered, "I want all the shares of the Ba Wang Group held by the Ye family. Can you give me that?"
"You..." Ye Yinhuan was speechless, her expression filled with undisguised malice.
Huang Zhengtao angrily chimed in, "Doctor Chen, aren't you asking for too much..."
Frowning slightly, Chen Xiao interrupted Huang Zhengtao unceremoniously, "Do you have the skill to pull out the knife and save his life? If not, please shut your sycophantic, stinking mouth!"
"I..." Huang Zhengtao was tongue-tied, his face extremely grim.
Ye Yinhuan was still unwilling to give up. She continued to wail, clutching Chen Xiao's leg, "Doctor Chen, can you do it for ten million? If you help my son pull out the knife, I guarantee you ten million within three days..."
"The Ba Wang Group, which has been subtly surpassing the richest man, the Song family, in various aspects in recent years, is only worth ten million?" Chen Xiao said without politeness and fiercely kicked Ye Yinhuan away. "Get lost! I hope six days are enough for your son to pick up the life of a castrated dog, otherwise, it would be too easy for him!"
"You..." Ye Yinhuan harbored resentment but dared not speak. After scrambling to her feet, she led her entourage away from the Ji Shi Tang, gritting her teeth and plotting, "Chen, you just wait! I don't believe there isn't a hospital in the world that can treat my son! By then, I will make sure your family is destroyed and your corpse is unburied!"
As soon as Ye Yinhuan and her group left, Chen Xiao rushed into the inner room to take care of Chen Qing, who was slowly waking up. Chen Qing, clearly concerned about the deed for Ji Shi Tang, said nervously, "Chen Xiao, haven't you reported the loss and applied for a replacement deed yet?"
Fearing Chen Qing's worry, Chen Xiao nodded with a mix of truth and falsehood. "Mom, you just focus on recovering. I've already gone through the process, and it should be done in a couple of days."
Chen Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief but soon began to fret again, "To take care of me, you must have asked for leave from Deputy Director Zhou, right? It's a crucial period for your internship, and the clinical skills competition for interns hosted by the Central Hospital starts tomorrow. You can't just take leave. You should go back to work quickly."
Chen Xiao couldn't bear to tell Chen Qing that he had been expelled from the Central Hospital and would not be able to participate. His expression dimmed slightly. "Mom, you're seriously injured in bed. If I go to work, who will take care of your daily needs?"
