Playboy in the City-Chapter 94: Miraculous Hands Bring the Spring
"Dad, he..." The young woman was also full of worry as she looked at Xiao Mohong.
"Don’t speak!" Xiao Mohong glared at her. The young woman instantly fell silent, though a hint of skepticism lingered in her beautiful eyes as she looked at Chen Yang. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
Xiao Huiyun watched nervously, praying in her heart that Chen Yang would succeed and save Mr. Xiao.
BUZZ.
At that moment, Chen Yang’s hands moved in a continuous blur. His fingers danced over the Silver Needles as if playing a piano, channeling Profound Energy of Life and Death into them and causing them to hum. This humming sound made everyone feel an invisible pressure.
Xiao Mohong, who had long held a high position, felt it most intensely. Who is this young doctor, Chen Yang? How can he exude such immense pressure? It’s unbelievable.
A moment later.
Sweat beaded on Chen Yang’s forehead as a wave of weakness washed over him.
Although his Dantian was currently brimming with Yin Yuan, treating Lu Hanyan had consumed a vast amount of his Profound Energy of Life and Death. Now, he had completely exhausted what little remained. If not for the support of the abundant Yin Yuan, he would have already collapsed.
BUZZ.
Just then, he shot the Profound Energy of Life and Death from his fingertips, his hands blooming like a flower as he plucked out all the Silver Needles in one fluid motion.
This scene dazzled everyone watching.
Setting aside his medical skills, just his technique for manipulating the Silver Needles was something no ordinary person could accomplish.
TSS... TSS... TSS...
The moment the Silver Needles were removed, dark brown blood began to spurt from the top of Mr. Xiao’s head, the point between his eyebrows, and the area over his heart.
The sight of blood spurting out was, frankly, horrifying.
"Ah, Grandpa’s color is returning!" the young girl exclaimed.
The young woman covered her mouth in shock.
Under the watchful eyes of Xiao Mohong, Xiao Huiyun, and the medical staff, Mr. Xiao’s complexion underwent a rapid transformation. His face, which had been dark and seemingly shrouded in an aura of death, quickly turned rosy after the dark blood was expelled. His complexion, brimming with vitality, looked even healthier than a normal person’s.
"Mmm..."
Suddenly, Mr. Xiao let out a soft groan. His eyelids fluttered and then slowly opened.
"Dad!"
"Grandpa!"
At the sight, everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief, their disbelief mingling with excitement.
"Where am I?
"My body feels so light. The usual tightness in my chest, the heartache, the uncomfortable feeling of a dark cloud over my head... it’s all gone."
Mr. Xiao pushed away Xiao Mohong, who tried to help him up, and propped himself into a sitting position with his own arms. Looking at his family, a kindly smile spread across his face. "Mohong, Huiyun, Qing Er, Wu Yue, you’re all here."
In his old age, what he yearned for most was this kind of family reunion. Unfortunately, his son and daughter were both divorced, and even his eldest granddaughter’s marriage was fraught with problems. It left him, a man who had navigated a lifetime of ups and downs, filled with regret and helplessness.
"Dad, we’re all here, all here..." Xiao Mohong was so excited he was nearly incoherent. Within the Xiao Family, no one was under more pressure than he was. If Mr. Xiao were to pass away, he would lose his father’s backing at a critical juncture in his career. Many of his rivals would seize the opportunity to move against the Xiao Family and force him out of his position.
"Alright, alright, settle down now. I’m perfectly fine, haha." After a hearty laugh, Mr. Xiao looked at Chen Yang and clasped his fists in a gesture of gratitude. "It was this divine physician who cured me, wasn’t it? I, this old man, am truly grateful!"
Although he had been unconscious, his lifetime of experience allowed him to read the room instantly. Based on Chen Yang’s position and the expressions of everyone present, he could tell at a glance that the young man was extraordinary.
"Mr. Xiao, I dare not claim the title of ’divine physician,’ and there is no need for gratitude. Saving the dying and healing the sick is the creed I live by as a doctor."
This is a perfect opportunity to earn some goodwill, and I can’t let it pass. After all, my career isn’t established yet. I still need to lean on a powerhouse like the Xiao Family.
"So young, yet not the least bit arrogant or impetuous. Excellent, excellent, excellent! A divine physician of your caliber possesses a state of mind that I, an old man with one foot in the grave, could never hope to achieve."
Just as planned, Chen Yang’s words won Mr. Xiao’s favor, earning him lofty praise. This left Xiao Mohong and the others in disbelief. Given their father’s status, it was incredibly rare for him to praise a young man so highly.
I must build a good relationship with Chen Yang, Xiao Mohong thought. I should find a way to bind him to the Xiao Family. With a miraculous healer capable of bringing the dead back to life, Father could live for many more years.
Xiao Wuyue’s beautiful eyes were now filled with curiosity and a desire to probe deeper as she looked at Chen Yang.
Xiao Qing felt much the same. She never imagined that Chen Yang could be so formidable as to bring her grandfather back from the brink of death.
"The divine physician may not seek recognition, but this old man cannot fail to repay the gift of life." Mr. Xiao got out of bed and bowed deeply to Chen Yang. "I, Xiao Bo, thank the divine physician for saving my life."
"Mr. Xiao, you mustn’t!"
Chen Yang immediately tried to move aside, but the weakness wracking his body caused him to stumble. His face went pale, and he started to fall.
"Dr. Chen, are you all right?" Fortunately, Xiao Huiyun had already noticed his poor condition. She was by his side in an instant, catching him and letting him lean against her.
"Divine Physician!"
The others cried out in alarm. This made Mr. Xiao and the others concerned as well. A nearby nurse quickly opened a bottle of glucose solution, intending to give it to Chen Yang.
"I’m fine," Chen Yang said, waving his hand to reassure them as he struggled to stand, feeling the softness and fragrance of Xiao Huiyun’s body. "I just expended too much energy performing my unique acupuncture technique. I only need a little rest."
"Dad, Dr. Chen is tired. You should rest first. Brother, you take care of the remaining matters. I’ll help Dr. Chen to his room, and we can discuss our gratitude tomorrow." With her own father out of danger, Xiao Huiyun’s concern now shifted to Chen Yang. After all, if it weren’t for him, Mr. Xiao would truly be gone. The thought filled her heart with immense gratitude and a budding affection for him.
"Alright, let the divine physician rest first." Mr. Xiao cupped his fists again. "Later, this old man will have a proper chat with you."
"Definitely." Chen Yang mimicked Mr. Xiao’s gesture in return.
Xiao Mohong started to speak, but Mr. Xiao stopped him with a look, signaling him not to be hasty.
Then, under the curious gazes of Xiao Wuyue and Xiao Qing, Xiao Huiyun helped Chen Yang leave the special ward.
...
The moment Chen Yang stepped out, Chen Hanshan and the others swarmed around him, their faces etched with worry as they fired off anxious questions.
"How did it go?"
"Is Mr. Xiao alright?"
The special ward’s soundproofing was too effective; they had no idea what had just transpired inside.
