The operating room was silent, with only the beeping of the monitor displaying a pulsing heartbeat.
Dr. Hu stared intently at the screen, his body trembling slightly.
She was alive?
"No, impossible… she was clearly…" Dr. Hu muttered, his face filled with disbelief.
He had personally performed the resuscitation, exhausting all his strength to no avail in saving Madam Shen. Yet, Ye Ling had solved a problem that modern medicine couldn't, with just a few silver needles.
In his twenty years of practice, he had never witnessed such a phenomenon!
Had he… witnessed a medical miracle?
Dr. Hu found it hard to believe!
Ma Ruishi was also stunned. It was only then that he realized Madam Shen's pulse had indeed stopped, a sign of impending death.
In other words, it was Ye Ling's acupuncture technique that had brought Madam Shen back from the brink of death!
How could this be possible?
Ma Ruishi's heart churned with a tempestuous wave, his entire body trembling with excitement.
"What kind of acupuncture technique is this?"
Ma Ruishi had read countless medical texts throughout his life, dabbling in various acupuncture methods. His medical skills were renowned, and many influential figures, both in Jiangcheng and nationwide, sought his treatment.
Yet, even with his vast knowledge, Ma Ruishi couldn't comprehend Ye Ling's technique!
To revive someone by piercing several vital points?
It was unheard of, unseen!
Ye Ling's medical practice, which seemed to defy all logic, had miraculously achieved the impossible!
Ma Ruishi felt as if he had discovered a new world, one that held the potential for a leap forward in global medical standards!
"How… how did you do it?"
Ma Ruishi suddenly grabbed Ye Ling's arm, his cloudy eyes blazing with a sharp brilliance, like a student eager for knowledge. He was visibly agitated.
"What is this acupuncture technique? Who is your teacher? Can you introduce me?"
"I can even become your disciple! I'll agree to any conditions!"
Ma Ruishi was not only a divine doctor but also a recognized medical fanatic in the medical community. Upon encountering new medical techniques or texts, he could immerse himself in them for days without sleep!
Ye Ling's few needles had brought about resurrection. Such a heaven-defying technique was undoubtedly a national treasure, priceless!
A medical fanatic like Ma Ruishi could not remain indifferent to such a skill.
Compared to this technique, Ma Ruishi's own dignity and seniority could be discarded entirely!
Feeling Ma Ruishi's grip on his arm, Ye Ling frowned and gently pulled his arm free. "I don't like noise."
"Yes, yes… I won't disturb you, teacher!"
Upon hearing Ye Ling's words, Ma Ruishi immediately bowed respectfully to Ye Ling, like a student addressing a teacher, and fell silent.
"Divine Doctor Ma…"
Dr. Hu watched as the esteemed Divine Doctor Ma, a titan of the medical world, bowed to a young man in his early twenties. He was at a loss for words to describe his feelings.
After all, Ma Ruishi held a higher position in the hospital than the director. A casual endorsement from him could propel a junior doctor to unprecedented heights!
Such a figure, yet he displayed such humility…
Everything he had witnessed here today, from Ye Ling's acupuncture to Ma Ruishi's demeanor, had completely surpassed Dr. Hu's imagination.
However, Dr. Hu was certain of one thing: what Ye Ling had accomplished here today would undoubtedly solidify his status as a leading figure in the medical community!
If Ye Ling wished, with the resurrection acupuncture technique he had just performed, wealth, women, and power would be within his grasp.
The queue of influential people seeking his treatment would likely stretch from here all the way beyond Jiangcheng!
Thinking of this, Dr. Hu couldn't help but look at Ye Ling with a hint of envy.
Ye Ling ignored Ma Ruishi further, carefully withdrawing the silver needles from Madam Shen's body. He placed them back in the box and returned it to Dr. Hu, saying, "Take Auntie back to her room to rest for the night. She can be discharged tomorrow."
"Discharged tomorrow?"
Dr. Hu numbly accepted the needle box, his mind reeling for a moment.
"It's alright, Auntie will be fine after a good sleep," Ye Ling said calmly, as if he had just performed a trivial task.
Several seconds after Ye Ling spoke, Dr. Hu finally snapped back to reality. He quickly instructed the stunned nurses in the operating room, "Take the patient back to her room and conduct a thorough examination."
"If there are no issues, proceed with the discharge procedures."
Although he found the idea of discharging Madam Shen the next day somewhat exaggerated, Ye Ling had just achieved something akin to a miracle, and he dared not question him further.
Hearing Dr. Hu's instructions, Nurse Li nodded dazedly. Then, along with the other nurses in the operating room, she pushed Madam Shen out of the operating theater.
Only after the nurses and Madam Shen had left the operating room did the dazed Shen Weiwei regain her senses. Her eyes red-rimmed, she looked at Ye Ling, tears streaming down her face.
Shen Weiwei asked excitedly, "Ye Ling… Mom is okay now, right! She's alive, isn't she!"
Although she didn't understand medicine, she knew what an incredible feat Ye Ling had just accomplished!
The hospital had declared her dead, yet Ye Ling had brought her back to life!
What kind of extraordinary medical skill was this?
Seeing Shen Weiwei's state, Ye Ling smiled gently, his demeanor entirely different from how he treated Dr. Hu and Ma Ruishi.
Ye Ling said softly, "Everything is fine now. Auntie will wake up soon."
"From now on, I will handle everything."
"Mmm…" Shen Weiwei's eyes were swollen and red as she nodded and sobbed, "I truly don't know how to thank you… If it weren't for you, I don't know what I would have done…"
Her gratitude towards Ye Ling was boundless, her feelings too profound for words.
Her mother's resurrection, the recovery of what was lost, this roller-coaster experience left Shen Weiwei feeling utterly unreal.
It felt like a dream.
"Uncle did so much for my Ye family. Everything that happened is a debt my Ye family owes Uncle, and it is my duty as Ye Ling to repay it."
"And…"
As he spoke, Ye Ling lowered his head slightly, a shadow of gloom flashing in his eyes.
The curse within Madam Shen was clearly man-made.
The Shen family were ordinary citizens, unlikely to be targeted by extraordinary individuals without reason!
It was likely that Madam Shen's curse was related to Uncle Shen's investigation into the Ye family's affairs.
The massacre of the Ye family back then was probably not just about coveting their property, but about something far deeper.
Unfortunately, Ye Ling was too young then to know of any secrets within his family.
Now that he had returned, he needed to investigate thoroughly.
Seeing Ye Ling fall silent, Shen Weiwei wiped away her tears and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
The gloom in Ye Ling's eyes quickly vanished, and he smiled at Shen Weiwei, "It's nothing, I just remembered some past events."
"My Ye family owes Uncle Shen a great deal, and this debt must be repaid. So, if you need any help, you must tell me, understand?"
Under Ye Ling's gaze, Shen Weiwei trembled. Her pretty face flushed, and she didn't know how to respond.
Shen Weiwei stammered, "Okay, okay…"
Seeing Ye Ling's gentle demeanor, Ma Ruishi cautiously asked again, "Teacher, could I have your phone number?"
"I don't have a phone."
Ye Ling replied without hesitation. He had only just returned to Earth and hadn't acquired anything yet.
Let alone a mobile phone, even the few hundred yuan in his pocket were "borrowed" from West Mountain Villa.
In this regard, Ye Ling, the Emperor, seemed rather destitute.
"I will cover all the patient's hospitalization expenses. Teacher, I will agree to any other requests you may have!" Ma Ruishi, thinking Ye Ling was brushing him off, quickly added, wanting to curry favor.
Madam Shen's hospitalization fees were not a small sum, and coupled with Shen Weiwei's struggling food stall business, she could no longer afford the exorbitant medical bills.
Hearing Ma Ruishi's offer, Ye Ling began to consider it.
Indeed, his most pressing need was to settle Madam Shen's medical expenses, and Ma Ruishi's assistance would save him considerable trouble.
With this thought, Ye Ling smiled slightly and agreed, "Very well. You cover Auntie's medical fees, and get me a mobile phone."
"Great!"
