"What did you say?!"
Liu Jie's words were explosive news, and Jiang Min was instantly astonished.
"Is this what you used?" Jiang Min's eyes trembled as she sized up Liu Jie. "How is this possible? This is the supreme acupuncture technique! How do you possess such skill?"
Liu Jie smiled and said, "To be honest, I actually have a master, and my master is an extraordinary hermit. This acupuncture technique was taught to me by him."
"Originally, my master wanted me to keep a low profile and not talk about this matter."
"But seeing how puzzled you are, Dr. Jiang, I couldn't bear it, so I told you."
Jiang Min's head buzzed. She said in shock, "Dr. Liu, this is truly unbelievable! I never imagined you would be such an expert!"
"I must inform the director about this immediately. The director will surely be delighted to know you are such a talent!"
Liu Jie was eager for Jiang Min to go find the director, but he modestly replied, "Dr. Jiang, is that really necessary?"
"I just want to keep a low profile. As for the title of chief physician or anything like that, I have no interest whatsoever."
Liu Jie was clearly playing hard to get.
As expected, upon hearing Liu Jie's words, Jiang Min immediately gave him a thumbs-up. "Dr. Liu, with your high skill and such modesty, you are truly a deserving talent!"
"No, I must keep a talent like you in our hospital."
"The title of chief physician will be yours before long!"
Liu Jie was so excited he could have jumped for joy.
At this moment, a nurse walked in and said, "Excuse me, Dr. Jiang, someone is looking for you."
"Looking for me?" Jiang Min was slightly taken aback. "Who is looking for me?"
The nurse replied, "It's the family member of the previously injured patient. I explained the patient's condition to her, and she requested to see you."
Hearing this, Jiang Min led Liu Jie along.
A woman in her forties stood in the corridor.
As soon as she saw Jiang Min, she immediately walked over with a smile. "You're Dr. Jiang, right? I heard about what happened. Thank you so much! You are my husband's savior!"
Jiang Min had encountered such situations many times, so she smiled and said, "This is what our hospital is supposed to do. You don't need to be so polite."
The woman, named Luo Yufeng, smiled and said, "No, no, I should be thanking you!"
"My husband is the director of the county education bureau, Sun Desheng. If anything were to happen to him, the situation would be very serious!"
"The director of the education bureau?" Hearing this, both Jiang Min and Liu Jie were stunned.
Neither of them had expected the injured patient to have such an identity.
Fortunately, the person was fine. If something had gone wrong, the reputation of their county central hospital would have been severely negatively impacted.
Luo Yufeng continued with a smile, "You are Dr. Jiang, right? I heard my husband's injuries were very serious."
"You managed to save my husband even in this state, you truly are a miracle doctor!"
Jiang Min also smiled and said, "Madam, you flatter me. Actually, it wasn't me who cured Director Sun this time; it was our Dr. Liu Jie."
"If it weren't for Dr. Liu's superb medical skills, we wouldn't have been able to manage it on our own."
"Is that so?" Luo Yufeng turned her gaze to Liu Jie and then smiled appreciatively. "Dr. Liu, to have such skill at such a young age is truly remarkable."
"A genius like Dr. Liu, it seems our family must foster a good relationship with him."
Liu Jie was so praised by Luo Yufeng that he almost didn't recognize himself.
He was overjoyed. Not only would he be promoted to chief physician at the hospital, but he would also gain the support of Sun Desheng. This was equivalent to soaring to the heavens!
He sneered inwardly, "Wu Tian, Wu Tian, since you want to do good deeds without seeking recognition, don't blame me for accepting all the benefits!"
While Liu Jie was secretly rejoicing, Wu Tian had already returned home.
He was naturally unaware of the situation at the hospital. However, he still had to go to the county central hospital tomorrow afternoon.
After all, the Qiankun Nuoyi acupuncture technique was divided into two stages. He had only performed the first stage and needed to perform the second stage for it to take full effect.
Otherwise, the effect of the acupuncture would disappear before long, and Sun Desheng would once again fall into a critical state.
The next day, as planned, Wu Tian went directly to the county central hospital.
He made a brief inquiry at the front desk and immediately learned Sun Desheng's room number, then hurried upstairs.
At this time, Sun Desheng had not yet woken up. Liu Jie was chatting with Luo Yufeng and Jiang Min.
Liu Jie was adept at seizing opportunities, constantly boasting about himself, which left a very good impression on Luo Yufeng.
Luo Yufeng sat by Sun Desheng's bedside.
She asked Liu Jie, "Dr. Liu, how long will it take for my husband to wake up?"
"Why is there still no movement?"
Liu Jie had no idea when Sun Desheng would wake up.
However, he felt that since Wu Tian had saved Sun Desheng's life, Sun Desheng should wake up somehow.
So, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mrs. Luo. Director Sun is blessed with good fortune, and with the hospital's careful treatment, I believe he will awaken soon."
Hearing Liu Jie's words, Luo Yufeng also breathed a sigh of relief.
She smiled and said, "Dr. Liu, please rest assured. Once my husband is cured and discharged, we will definitely thank you properly."
Liu Jie verbally declined, saying it was unnecessary, but in his heart, he was already anticipating what Luo Yufeng would offer as a reward.
Just then, a soft knock sounded at the door.
Everyone turned their heads and saw Wu Tian standing at the entrance.
Upon seeing Wu Tian, Liu Jie's heart skipped a beat.
He frowned and said, "Wu Tian? Why are you here, kid?"
Wu Tian replied, "Didn't I say yesterday that I would come? What, did you forget?"
Liu Jie's breath seemed to stop for a moment.
He remembered that Wu Tian had indeed said he would come for treatment today, but hadn't the person already been cured? What treatment was still needed?
He felt that Wu Tian was definitely here to gain benefits, and he couldn't let Wu Tian snatch away everything that was about to be his.
So, he tried to drive Wu Tian away, saying, "Are you crazy? What does this have to do with you?"
"Go away, go away, don't stand here and be an eyesore."
Jiang Min looked at Wu Tian and then asked Liu Jie, "Dr. Liu, who is this person?"
Liu Jie replied, "He's a village doctor, here to cause trouble."
"Dr. Jiang, you don't need to worry about it. I'll drive him out."
Hearing this, Wu Tian's brow furrowed immediately. He said, "Liu Jie, what do you mean by this?"
"That person's injury is not fully healed yet. You want me to leave? Are you trying to get him killed?"
