Even with the ventilator’s assistance.

However, Chen Mu still doesn’t have some of the necessary medications here.

Even though Chen Mu has done everything in his power.

But the patient’s condition continues to worsen bit by bit.

Large beads of sweat cover Chen Mu’s forehead.

This time.

Knowing what this meant, cap didn’t even need Chen Mu to speak.

He already knew to step aside from blocking Chen Mu’s view and wipe away his sweat.

Chen Mu stared at the patient.

After pondering for a moment.

He finally decided to apply a needle to one of the acupuncture points.

-

「?????」

「Holy shit! Even our professor wouldn’t dare stimulate that acupuncture point during a rescue, is Dr. Chen crazy?!」

「Holy shit?????」

「Holy shit!!!」

「You medical students are crazy. What acupuncture point is Dr. Chen stimulating? What’s the problem? Why such a big reaction from all of you?」

「We can’t mention this acupuncture point because it’s too risky, and we’re afraid someone might blindly imitate it.」

「As for what problems can arise from stimulating this point, simply put, it’s gambling with lives. Even the doctor applying the needle can’t guarantee the result of this needle.」

「Yes, yes! If the result is good, perhaps everyone would be overjoyed. But if the result is bad, this doctor’s career might as well be over.」

「No wonder a doctor of Dr. Chen’s caliber would come to Hai City Hospital as a school doctor. His medical style truly has the features of the older generation, a real gamble!」

「Though this point is risky, I can somewhat understand why Dr. Chen targeted it. If he hadn’t taken the risky move, the patient would probably be gone by now!」

「...」

-

"This..."

Even if cap couldn’t understand the implications of Chen Mu’s needle.

But cap could see.

After this needle was applied.

The change in Chen Mu was noticeable.

After this needle was applied.

The man who previously seemed confident in everything he did became noticeably more flustered.

Yet amidst the panic, there was a sense of determination.

It was as if he was doing something he knew he shouldn’t, but had to.

And then...

Cap pulled out another tissue.

He rarely saw anyone sweat so profusely so quickly.

Especially since.

The vehicle they were in had air conditioning on.

The possibility that Chen Mu was sweating profusely because of overheating was almost ruled out.

Then...

The only possibility left was one.

Chen Mu was facing something that was putting his nerves on high alert.

With this thought.

Cap’s gaze naturally followed to the needle just applied.

He couldn’t understand.

What was different about that needle.

He just felt...

The patient’s condition seemed to strangely improve.

?????

The patient’s condition improved???

Cap widened his eyes, watching the patient’s face in disbelief.

Although the patient was still unconscious at the moment.

But the patient’s face was regaining color visibly quickly.

At least now, it looked like a living person.

And not someone who was so lifeless one couldn’t tell if they were breathing or dead...

Cap felt as if he witnessed a miracle.

His gaze continuously shifted between Chen Mu and the patient.

Filled with wonder.

He didn’t know if he should express amazement.

-

「Cap right now is practically my look-alike; my expression is the same as his right now...」

「I don’t understand Chinese medicine; is this acupuncture point truly so miraculous? How different is it from bringing the dead back to life?」

「There’s a huge difference; stimulating this acupuncture point is much like injecting adrenaline during emergency clinical rescue, but this risk is much greater than adrenaline.」

「To be honest, most people, even knowing this acupuncture point, wouldn’t dare to stimulate it; very few doctors would risk their careers on a patient’s slim chance of survival.」

「That’s why I say I feel I’m seeing in Dr. Chen the style of the older generation of Chinese medicine; they care more about whether the patient has any chance of survival than the unknown risks.」

「It’s a pity that even though I study Chinese medicine, if I were in Dr. Chen’s place, I would never stimulate this point.」

「Neither would I. After years of studying, I wouldn’t risk it all for a stranger...」

「It seems we’ve become selfish...」

「Perhaps in this age of information overload, we’ve all lost a bit of our original intention.」

「...」

-

Cap hesitated for a moment.

He tried to organize a sentence that might not affect Chen Mu too much.

Cap: "Dr. Chen, how long can the patient hold on now?"

Chen Mu looked up at cap.

Shook his head, said: "Not long..."

Cap’s heart was just sinking.

Then he heard Chen Mu’s next words, "But I can guarantee the patient will maintain this state for an hour."

Cap: "!!!!"

An hour!

Is that not long enough?!

Maintaining the patient’s life and condition for an hour.

Perhaps under normal circumstances, this might not sound particularly noteworthy.

But this is a patient struggling to open a pathway to survival.

Even though there’s a traffic jam here.

Iron Cavalry is doing their best.

The emergency center is also making efforts.

An hour is more than enough time for the patient to reach the hospital alive.

To receive more comprehensive rescue!

With this thought.

Cap’s gaze at Chen Mu began to change ever so slightly.

Cap: "Dr. Chen, can I ask you a presumptuous question?"

Chen Mu: "..."

If it were anyone else.

Asking Chen Mu such a question, he would surely reply.

If you know it’s presumptuous, then don’t ask.

However.

At this moment.

Seeing the uniform on the other person, Chen Mu swallowed all the words he shouldn’t say.

He smiled slightly, then asked: "What do you want to ask?"

"Since it’s a presumptuous question, I have to clarify beforehand. You can ask, but I may not answer."

Cap nodded.

Clearly.

He seemed prepared for Chen Mu’s response.

He organized his words.

Then spoke again: "I want to ask, Dr. Chen, who were you apprenticed to, and are they still alive?"

Chen Mu: "..."

-

「This cap uncle probably hasn’t browsed the internet much; Dr. Chen’s medical skills are inherited from his family!」

「I suddenly thought of a crucial point; why are we all focused on Dr. Chen? If it’s just for medical help, couldn’t we seek out Dr. Chen’s father?」

「Yes, someone who mentored such an excellent Chinese doctor like Dr. Chen should have incredible medical skills themselves!」

「I’m already ready to take my daughter to seek treatment, so the question is, where is Dr. Chen’s father practicing, where is the address?」

「Honestly, Dr. Chen probably won’t disclose his father’s address.」

「I think so too, Dr. Chen just has some fame online and has already been kidnapped. If the old man at that age got kidnapped, whew!」

「...」
