Chapter 93: Did You Forget Something?

Under everyone’s gaze.

Xu Shaochen walked over to Sun Yaowen. First, he examined his eyes and then took his pulse.

“Hahaha! In this day and age, taking a pulse? Do you think you’re shooting a movie? What a joke!”

Li Hong saw this and burst into mocking laughter.

“Shut your mouth!”

Sun Hai shot him a cold glance. Xu Shaochen was treating his father right now and couldn’t be disturbed.

Startled by Sun Hai’s icy stare, Li Hong quickly fell silent.

Although he was a well-known specialist, he was nothing in front of the Sun family.

After taking the pulse, Xu Shaochen pulled out a rolled-up set of silver needles from his inner pocket.

This was the only thing his father left him after he passed away. He always kept it with him as though his father was still by his side.

This unremarkable set of silver needles had healed countless villagers in the Xu family village.

Xu Shaochen began using the needles on Sun Yaowen. It was a meticulous procedure that required intense concentration.

Given the complexity of human acupuncture points, one wrong move could lead to unimaginable consequences.

Li Hong sneered. To him, acupuncture was the most unreliable part of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

At least Chinese herbal medicine could still be considered medicine, but acupuncture? It sounded mysterious, but to him, it was just a sham.

However, everyone else was captivated by Xu Shaochen, as his movements while needling were smooth and graceful, offering a unique visual experience.

“All show, no substance. It’s useless!”

Li Hong curled his lips, jeering coldly.

“Look! His fingers moved!”

At that moment, someone in the crowd exclaimed.

Instantly, everyone’s attention focused on Sun Yaowen.

“This…what’s going on? Xiao Xu, how are you… Why are you here?”

Under everyone’s gaze, Sun Yaowen slowly lifted his heavy eyelids, his eyes filled with confusion.

Wow! In an instant.

Everyone was shocked, wide-eyed with disbelief as they stared at Xu Shaochen.

Even Li Hong, who had been helpless, saw that Xu Shaochen had successfully treated Sun Yaowen.

“He really did it! Damn, I kept saying our ancestors’ methods are effective!”

“Yeah, Western Medicine is good, but you can’t deny the thousands of years of history our ancestors have passed down. Western Medicine’s history isn’t nearly as long as Traditional Chinese Medicine’s.”

“It’s just that some practitioners aren’t skilled enough. After all, the difficulty of Traditional Chinese Medicine far exceeds that of Western Medicine.”

Everyone started discussing excitedly. Witnessing the miracle of Traditional Chinese Medicine firsthand filled them with pride.

Those who had previously mocked Xu Shaochen now felt their faces burning, wishing they could disappear. The slap in their faces came too fast, taking them completely by surprise.

They hadn’t even had time to prepare, yet Xu Shaochen had already delivered a resounding slap.

“How… how is this possible? No way, this is fake! Absolutely fake! Check the patient’s vitals immediately!”

Li Hong’s face was filled with disbelief. He couldn’t accept it as reality because he thought it was impossible.

“Dr. Li, the patient’s heart rate is recovering at an astonishing speed.”

“His blood pressure is also returning to normal.”

As reports came in one by one, Li Hong was completely dumbfounded, as if struck by a heavy blow, his mind blank.

The disease that even Li Hong couldn’t heal was really treated by a young kid with acupuncture.

“Dad! Are you okay?”

“Dad, how are you feeling?”

Sun Hai and Zhao Yuan, realizing what was happening, burst into tears of joy, rushing over to check on Sun Yaowen.

“What… what happened?” Sun Yaowen had just woken up and still felt groggy.

Sun Hai quickly pulled Xu Shaochen closer and said excitedly, “Dad, you suddenly fell ill just now. This young man saved you! Oh, and he said he knows you.”

“Xiao Xu saved me?” Sun Yaowen looked at Xu Shaochen in disbelief, then sighed. “I owe you my life. You pulled this old man back from the gates of hell.”

“Mr. Sun, there’s no need to be so polite. We’re close despite our age difference, so this is something I should do.” Xu Shaochen smiled slightly at him.

When Sun Hai and Zhao Yuan saw this, they were filled with shame, their faces burning. After all, they had both been suspicious of Xu Shaochen earlier, even going so far as to insult him.

Sun Hai couldn’t help but feel fortunate that he chose to trust Xu Shaochen in the end. Otherwise, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

“Mr. Xu, thank you. Thank you so much. We were blind earlier. I hope you won’t hold it against us.”

Sun Hai held onto Xu Shaochen’s hand, apologizing with a regretful expression.

After all, Xu Shaochen not only saved Sun Yaowen but also saved the entire Sun family.

“No need to be so formal.”

Xu Shaochen replied calmly, then drew back his hand and walked toward Li Hong, a playful grin on his face. “Dr. Li, anything else you’d like to say?”

Sun Hai’s face alternated between green and pale as he awkwardly stood there, feeling incredibly embarrassed.

He could obviously sense Xu Shaochen’s indifferent attitude. In other words, Xu Shaochen was merely being courteous to Sun Yaowen and didn’t care about him at all.

“Hmph, just a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse. Chairman Sun, remember to bring Mr. Sun to the hospital for a follow-up to see how his recovery progresses.”

Li Hong snorted coldly. He would never acknowledge Xu Shaochen’s credit. How could Traditional Chinese Medicine be more effective than Western Medicine?

Wow! The crowd was stunned, none of them expected Li Hong to be so shameless.

Those who previously admired Li Hong now looked at him with disgust.

“Shut up! I know my body better than anyone. How many treatments did I undergo at your place? Did any of them have any effect? Not a bit!”

Sun Yaowen shouted angrily, glaring furiously at Li Hong.

Li Hong’s face flushed with alternating shades of green and purple, yet he couldn’t find any words to refute Sun Yaowen, nor did he have the courage.

“We’re leaving.”

If they stayed longer, it would only get more embarrassing. Li Hong wanted to slip away. Outside, he was still the youngest, most revered internal medicine specialist in the country.

“Dr. Li, did you forget something? I recall you saying that if I won, you would kneel and admit that Traditional Chinese Medicine is superior to Western Medicine. Everyone here is still waiting for the recording. You wouldn’t go against your word, right?”

Xu Shaochen spoke calmly as he watched Li Hong’s retreating figure.

With his reminder, everyone immediately took out their phones, ready to record. After all, this was big news.

Everyone knew Li Hong looked down on Traditional Chinese Medicine. If a video of him publicly admitting that Western Medicine isn’t as good as Traditional Chinese Medicine surfaced online, it would surely go viral.
