Seeing the bright red hundred-yuan bills, the four bodyguards were both shocked and envious, their expressions conveying a desperate desire to fawn over Ye YinHuan.
Ye YinHuan grew even more smug and imperiously stated:
"Take the money and do your job quickly. My son's condition is not optimistic and cannot be delayed any further..."
In her eyes, as long as the money was right, Chen Xiao was a dog she could order around.
But before she could finish speaking, Chen Xiao suddenly shook his head with utter contempt:
"You want me to repay kindness with enmity for a mere twenty thousand yuan? Auntie, are you joking?"
Ye YinHuan was so angry she almost choked, her tone turning sinister:
"Is it too little? How much do you want then?"
Chen Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly:
"More than money, I'd prefer to see you kneel and beg me!"
Her heavily made-up face trembled violently, Ye YinHuan's small eyes widened:
"Fifty thousand!"
Chen Xiao did not hide his disdain for Ye YinHuan:
"You insist on solving problems with money, don't you?"
Ye YinHuan's patience was wearing thin:
"Just name your price. No matter how much, I'll transfer it to you immediately, no bargaining!"
As soon as she spoke, she saw Chen Xiao hold up a finger. Without another word, he directly took out his expensive phone from his bag:
"One hundred thousand, right? No problem, scan the code!"
Chen Xiao shook his head and corrected her:
"I said one million per needle."
"You..."
Ye YinHuan's hand trembled violently, nearly dropping her phone:
"You... have you gone mad for money?"
Chen Xiao sneered repeatedly as he took out his phone and opened his QR code for payment:
"You insist on solving problems with money, don't you? If you can't afford it, find someone else."
"One million it is!"
Ye YinHuan gritted her teeth and scanned the code, her face filled with venom:
"But the condition is that you guarantee to save my son. Otherwise, I guarantee you'll have the money but not the life to spend it!"
Casually tucking the phone with the received payment into his pocket, Chen Xiao confidently walked out:
"Just one needle. Lead the way!"
...
In the resuscitation room, Bai Lang's face was ashen, his breath faint, his body cold, his limbs stiff, almost indistinguishable from a corpse.
But Zhou WanNong continued to desperately resuscitate him as if possessed.
The assistant doctors and nurses, each with their own agenda, began to persuade her:
"Deputy Director Zhou, stop wasting your efforts. Just declare him dead. After all, we are doctors, not gods."
"Yes, yes. Chen Xiao has probably already run away."
"Besides, Young Master Bai was stabbed by Chen Xiao. Even if Ye YinHuan wants to pursue it, it has nothing to do with us."
Zhou WanNong turned a deaf ear and continued to rescue him with gritted teeth.
But as she watched the electrocardiogram display Bai Lang's life line gradually turn into the straight line symbolizing death, she could only stop, heartbroken and self-deprecating:
"Yes! We are ultimately not gods who can bring the dead back to life..."
Just then, Chen Xiao suddenly burst through the door.
The doctors and nurses present seized the opportunity to shift responsibility:
"Since Doctor Chen is here, we'll leave it to him. His miraculous Sheng Sheng Zao Hua Zhen must be able to save Young Master Bai."
As they spoke, they quickly slipped away.
Zhou WanNong, who had previously been most eager for Chen Xiao to arrive, now nervously urged him to flee:
"Chen Xiao, the patient's vital signs have basically disappeared, he can't be saved. You should escape through the back door quickly. I'll take full responsibility for the failed resuscitation!"
Feeling Zhou WanNong's concern, Chen Xiao's heart warmed. He casually picked up a silver needle from the stainless steel disinfection tray and inserted it into Bai Lang's Baihui acupoint, using the Sheng Sheng Zao Hua Zhen!
"Deputy Director Zhou, don't worry. As long as the patient hasn't completely passed, he won't die."
As Chen Xiao's words fell, Zhou WanNong suddenly saw Bai Lang's life signs, which had been infinitely approaching a straight line, begin to fluctuate again. She was instantly stunned, then exclaimed in disbelief:
"Reversing life and death! This... is this the legendary Sheng Sheng Zao Hua Zhen, lost for over a thousand years?"
Amidst her shock, she saw Chen Xiao stop after inserting only one needle and eagerly urged him:
"I heard you could perform nine consecutive needles to extend life for nine days. Why did you stop?"
Chen Xiao directly turned and opened the door of the resuscitation room:
"Extending life for one day is enough to transfer him to any renowned hospital in the country."
Zhou WanNong was stunned for a moment. Realizing that Chen Xiao had no intention of treating Bai Lang thoroughly, she quickly rushed out of the resuscitation room to explain to Ye YinHuan:
"Ms. Ye, Doctor Chen has already extended your son's life by one day with acupuncture. Whether to stay in the hospital for further treatment or transfer is up to you to decide."
Ye YinHuan rushed into the resuscitation room and saw Bai Lang showing faint signs of waking. She finally breathed a sigh of relief and said without hesitation:
"Since Doctor Chen can treat him, there's no need to transfer."
Chen Xiao shook his head without hesitation:
"I'm sorry! Saving him is one price, and curing him is another. Moreover, I never promised to cure him!"
