Supremely Talented Tyrant-Chapter 508: The Amazing Effect of a Straw

"It's all my fault, all my fault!" Old Wang fiercely slapped his own face, filled with regret. In his eyes, it was all his own doing—if only he had not doubted Hao Jian and let him deliver his wife's baby immediately, perhaps his child would not have died.

"Don't panic, the child can still be saved!" Hao Jian said, urging the couple not to panic.

"What? Doctor, my child can still be saved?" The woman looked at Hao Jian in shock.

Hao Jian nodded and then said to a server, "Get me a straw and a cup of clear water!"

A straw? Everyone was somewhat puzzled. What did they need a straw for at a time like this?

Still, the server followed the instructions and brought Hao Jian a straw and clear water.

Hao Jian took the straw, picked up the newborn, gave the sole of his foot a tap, and then inserted the straw into the newborn's airway. He sucked in and a gush of murky fluid was drawn out.

Afterward, Hao Jian spat the fluid onto the ground and rinsed his mouth with the clear water.

"Wah!"

And at that moment, the newborn finally opened his mouth and began to bawl his lungs out.

"He's alive, he's alive! This is truly miraculous!" People exclaimed in amazement—Hao Jian had revived a dying newborn with just a straw?

While rinsing his mouth, Hao Jian explained, "If a newborn's airway is blocked with amniotic fluid or during a cesarean section, the baby won't cry. At that point, slapping the child's foot to make the newborn spit out the fluid from the air passage or using a straw to extract the liquid from the throat can make the baby cry out."

Employing both methods, Hao Jian pulled the dying newborn back from the brink of death at Jiumen Pass.

"Doctor, thanks to you. If it weren't for your help, my wife and child both would've been in danger," Old Wang said as he grabbed Hao Jian's hand, his face showing intense emotion.

And the looks people gave Hao Jian were also filled with admiration.

Let alone his medical skills, the calm and composed demeanor that Hao Jian exhibited while saving lives had already won them over.

"It was just a helping hand," Hao Jian replied, waving it off as though it was nothing.

"Doctor, there's no way I can repay this debt. This is just a small token, please accept it!" Old Wang took out a stack of money from his wallet. No amount of money could repay Hao Jian for saving his son, but at least it would make him feel better, knowing he had offered something and not felt too indebted.

"I already said, it was just a helping hand, and I don't accept money," Hao Jian shook his head, clearly unwilling to take the money. First, he did not need it, and second, it was not right to accept such money.

A doctor's heart is akin to a parent's love; faced with such a situation, it was only natural for Hao Jian to step in without hesitation. He didn't save the pregnant woman for money, so he really couldn't accept it.

Hearing this, Song Xiaobao was furious. This bastard had just conned him out of his money, and now when someone else was offering him money, he refused? What, was he an easier target to bully?

"Doctor, you must take this money. You've helped our family so much, we have no way to repay you. This small amount is meant as a respect, please don't refuse it!" Old Wang insisted stubbornly, determined for Hao Jian to accept the money.

But Hao Jian's stance was also firm: "Legally speaking, since I don't have a medical license, I can't be considered a real doctor, and thus I can't accept money for treating someone as it would be illegal. If I took your money, I would be breaking the law; for that reason, I cannot accept it. Besides, our encounter was fate, and any conscientious doctor faced with this situation wouldn't stand idly by. Saving lives is part and parcel of our duty as doctors, so don't take it too much to heart."

"This..." Old Wang hesitated, initially thinking that Hao Jian was simply being modest, but it became clear that Hao Jian really was a doctor with high moral standards.

And upon hearing Hao Jian's declaration, everyone's respect for him deepened.

"Take it back. No matter what you offer, I won't accept it," Hao Jian emphasized. He would not accept the money under any circumstances.

"Alright then..." Old Wang took the money back somewhat reluctantly, but then had an idea, "Doctor, why don't you become my child's godfather? You saved his life, you owe him that much. It's only right for you to be his godfather!"

But Hao Jian still shook his head: "We met by chance and there's no need to force a connection."

At that moment, Ma Zifeng arrived with his men.

Seeing the police, Song Xiaobao and Sun Bingwen hurried over as if seeing a savior: "Police, someone's been beaten! They hit someone!"

"Who hit someone?" Ma Zifeng frowned.

"Them!" Song Xiaobao pointed fiercely at Ye Linglan and Ye Chunliang, but realized that Hao Jian had somehow returned to his seat, so he pointed at Hao Jian's back, "And him!"

Ma Zifeng's expression darkened as he questioned Ye Linglan and Ye Chunliang, "Why did you hit someone?"

"Because I told them to," said Hao Jian, turning to face Ma Zifeng.

"Mr. Hao Jian?" Ma Zifeng was startled.

Mr. Hao Jian? Song Xiaobao and Sun Bingwen looked at Ma Zifeng, puzzled. This police officer knew this guy? And it seemed he was quite familiar with him too.

"These two people altered and inflated the menu prices on their own, deceiving consumers. They've violated commercial fraud laws; you know what to do, right?"

"Rest assured, leave it to me," Ma Zifeng assured, patting his chest, and then ordered his men, "Arrest these two scammers!"

"I'm not a scammer! Don't arrest me!" Song Xiaobao yelled frantically, stunned by the turn of events. He never expected the other party to have such significant influence that it would command the immediate attention of the police.

"It's over... It's all over..." Sun Bingwen's face turned ashen, knowing that not only was his job gone, but he also faced legal charges.

However, Hao Jian and his group didn't bother with them and headed straight towards the exit.

After such an incident, they were no longer in the mood to continue their meal.

"Shall we just go home and make some noodles?" Hao Jian suggested with a wry smile.

"Seems like that's the only option left," Ye Linglan and her brother agreed with a helpless nod.

However, on their way back, they saw a group of uniformly dressed people blocking the road home.

They were all clad in blue shirts with a three-leaf emblem on their chests.

Seeing these people, Ye Linglan and her brother's expressions changed drastically, and their faces darkened to the extreme.

"What's the matter? Do you know them?" Hao Jian clearly saw resentment and anger written on their faces.

"Deep as the sea!" Ye Chunliang said through gritted teeth.

Hao Jian was struck with realization. He had always been curious about the siblings' identity, and now, hearing Ye Chunliang's words, he understood that they might truly have a significant background.

With a steely expression, Ye Linglan said, "You guys wait in the car for me. I'll go talk to them!"

"Sister, they must be here to kill us. There's nothing to talk about. Let's get out of here quickly!" Ye Chunliang protested anxiously, not wanting Ye Linglan to leave the car because he knew that whether they talked or not, the outcome would be the same.

"Do you think we can still get away at this point?" Ye Linglan gave a bitter laugh, her expression full of helplessness.

If they could have escaped, she wouldn't want to face these terrifying guys, but the problem was that they could not!

Ye Linglan didn't expect that after so many years and so many escapes, their pursuers were still unwilling to let go.

"They're enemies, right? If so, I'll handle it. I'll just drive them all away!" Hao Jian said nonchalantly.

Ye Linglan sighed with a sense of helplessness, "They're not as simple as you think. Even you might not be able to tackle all six Impermanence at once!"

Ye Linglan knew Hao Jian was powerful, but no matter his strength, he was at most a Martial Artist. These people were a mix of martial and mystical arts. She had even seen them use paper to kill and slice through water ripples with their palms when she was little. These people were not human!

"Impermanence? That's an amusing name," Hao Jian mocked, guessing it derived from "Impermanence claims lives, evil spirits ensnare souls."

"Let me handle this. If things go south, Hao Jian, you immediately take my brother and run!" Ye Linglan urged urgently.

"I won't, sister!" Ye Chunliang shouted emotionally. How could he just stand by and watch Ye Linglan face danger while he ran away?

"Do you think I would abandon my woman and flee?" Hao Jian also scoffed. Ye Linglan was really underestimating him.

"Hao Jian!" Ye Linglan rebuked sharply, her voice changing urgently. At this moment, she was no longer as gentle as before. Tears glimmered in her eyes, and she looked at Hao Jian with a heart-wrenching plea, "Promise me, do as I say and don't try to be a hero! These guys are not human. They are not something you can deal with."

Ye Linglan seemed to have foreseen everything. Her only hope now was that Hao Jian would do as she said and escape at all costs!

Hao Jian paused for a moment and then nodded, "Okay, I promise you!"

He knew that if he didn't agree, Ye Linglan wouldn't back down.

"Thank you." It was at that moment that Ye Linglan finally broke into tears of relief, and then she looked towards the six people not far away, her face shrouded in gloom.

With a deep breath and resolute expression, she pushed open the car door, stepped out, and walked towards them.

"To capture me, you sent out six Impermanence. It seems she really wants us dead," Ye Linglan said with cold sarcasm.

"Miss is exaggerating. The lady simply misses you and the Second Young Master. She wishes for you to return and enjoy family happiness," one of the silver-haired elders said sinisterly, his eyes filled with chilling ferocity as he stared at Ye Linglan.

Even though he addressed Ye Linglan as 'Miss', there was no respect in his tone. Hearing the man's address to Ye Linglan, Hao Jian was also puzzled. If Ye Linglan was their miss, why would they want to kill her?
