Chapter 287
After speaking, Chenyang suddenly lifted the hand that was resting on his lap.
He gathered strength in the index and middle fingers of both hands, and then, as if strumming a zither, he flicked a few of the silver needles on the lower part of Mr. Lin’s body before doing the same to the needles on his head.
Once he was done, he said, "You don’t believe in my medical skills, do you? Well then, open your eyes and watch closely how Mr. Lin wakes up within one minute under my Acupuncture Skill!"
PFFT!
Before Chenyang had even finished speaking, someone sneered, "Are you kidding me? You think just flicking the needles randomly, like a child picking at a piano with one finger, is enough to wake Mr. Lin up?"
"Mr. Lin has a severe heart condition! Director Liu just said that surgery only has a success rate in the teens. You think flicking a couple of needles is more effective than an operation?"
"We’re the ones being funny? You’re the fucking joke! This is so ridiculous they wouldn’t even dare put it in a movie!"
It wasn’t just the patients and their families who were mocking him with contempt. Even Lin Xiaoyue’s face showed a flash of anger.
Although she had doubted Chenyang earlier, deep down she still held a sliver of trust for him.
’Because Chenyang is a doctor, an angel in white in the eyes of his patients.’
’He might be incompetent, and perhaps a bit arrogant due to his youth, but as a doctor, he would never, under any circumstances, trifle with a patient’s life!’
It was for this reason that she hadn’t completely listened to the urging of the other patients and their families.
But in that moment, what little trust she had in Chenyang completely vanished.
’Because what Chenyang was doing was utterly unconvincing and illogical.’
’Just flicking the needles a couple of times could wake up her unconscious uncle?’
’This was just utter nonsense!’
Lin Xiaoyue shot Chenyang a look of disgust, then turned to Liu Qian. "Director Liu, this Doctor Chen of yours is acting completely childishly. He has a total disregard for my uncle’s safety.
"I expect a reasonable explanation from your department, and from the hospital. Otherwise, I will report this to the supervising authority."
Liu Qian’s lips parted, an uneasy expression crossing her face.
She hadn’t seen Chenyang place the needles earlier, but she thought, ’Since Liu Yun recommended him, his medical skills can’t be that bad, and he would never joke about treating someone.’
That’s why she had been speaking up for Chenyang, convinced he wasn’t the way everyone was describing him.
But after seeing Chenyang flick the needles just now, her confidence suddenly wavered.
Because those two flicks... forget a layperson, even she, a doctor, thought it was utterly ridiculous.
However, her relationship with Chenyang was a close one, so even if she thought his actions were ridiculous, she couldn’t let it show. After a brief hesitation, she said, "Miss Lin, please calm down. I’ll notify the cardiology specialists to come for a consultation right away. Don’t worry, we will definitely be able to treat your uncle."
Seeing her finish and pull out her phone to make a call, Chenyang smiled and said, "No need to trouble yourself, Director Liu. In less than a minute, her uncle will not only wake up, but he’ll also be completely cured soon after."
Lin Xiaoyue snorted coldly. "Listen to him, still spouting such nonsense. I really don’t know how your City Hospital could hire such an unethical doctor!"
Liu Qian gave an awkward, dry laugh, then glared at Chenyang. "Will you just be quiet!"
"Fine. Then I’ll let the facts do the talking."
"What facts? You’re just being completely—"
Liu Qian was about to say that Chenyang was just being completely ridiculous, but she stopped mid-sentence. Her eyes had inadvertently caught sight of the needles Chenyang had flicked, which had suddenly begun to tremble with a distinct rhythm.
It started with two of them, one at the top and one at the bottom.
As they trembled, those two needles touched the four or five surrounding them.
Then, as if guided by an invisible hand, all the silver needles on Mr. Lin’s body began to tremble in unison.
All the silver needles were vibrating, but not chaotically. They shared the same frequency, the same force, and even tilted at the exact same angle as they trembled.
Seeing this, Liu Qian’s pupils constricted. "The Overlapping Shadow Trembling Needle! This is the Overlapping Shadow Trembling Needle Technique, considered the most profound of the Ancient Acupuncture Skills!"
Chenyang grinned. "Well, well, Director Liu, you’re quite knowledgeable. You even know about the Overlapping Shadow Trembling Needle."
Liu Qian was in no mood to joke with Chenyang. She urgently grabbed Lin Xiaoyue’s hand. "Miss Lin, your uncle can really be saved! Chenyang wasn’t lying! His Acupuncture Skill can truly help your uncle make a full recovery!"
