"Elder Shen, you can rest easy now!" Director Zhao comforted him, "With Divine Doctor Lu's intervention, there will be no issues."
"Let's hope so!" Shen Tianlong nodded. "But Divine Doctor Lu is so young, I wonder..."
"Elder Shen doubts my master?" Zhao Handong smiled. "If he cannot cure it, no one within Qingzhou, or even the entire nation, can."
"It was my oversight!" Shen Tianlong said respectfully. "Since I've chosen to trust, I will not doubt."
"It's fine, I may not be entirely confident either!"
Lu Fan turned and smiled, "If I had acted this afternoon, I would have been fully confident, but alas, the opportune moment has passed!"
Director Zhao's heart tightened. He was the one who had driven Lu Fan away that afternoon. If Shen Tianlong found out, not only would his position be precarious, but he would likely have no future in the medical community.
"Divine Doctor Lu, you are a divine physician, a master of your craft, and certainly not an ordinary person. I hope Divine Doctor Lu can save my grandson's life!"
Shen Tianlong said quickly, his gaze filled with extreme deference, as if his grandson was his everything.
"Old Master Shen, rest assured, since I am here, I will do my utmost," Lu Fan comforted him. "You all wait outside! Do not enter and disturb!"
Everyone nodded hastily. Zhao Handong followed inside. Lu Fan was about to showcase his skills, and he couldn't miss such an opportunity. After all, such chances were rare.
As soon as they entered the ward, Doctor Wu frowned, "Who are you people? This is the intensive care unit, no unauthorized personnel!"
"We are here to see the patient!" Zhao Handong stated. "Director Zhao personally invited us."
Doctor Wu nodded and smiled at Zhao Handong, "To be personally invited by Director Zhao, you must be a national medical master. Please come forward and take a look!"
At this point, Doctor Wu pushed Lu Fan aside, showing great respect to Zhao Handong.
"This is my master, and he will be performing the treatment!" Zhao Handong said abruptly. "You seem to have mistaken the person."
"Him?" Doctor Wu gave an awkward smile. "From what I know, to be called a national medical master in traditional Chinese medicine, one must be at least sixty years old. How could he, being so young..."
"The patient has little time left. If you delay any further, even the most powerful immortal would struggle to save him!" Lu Fan said indifferently.
Doctor Wu dared not say more and moved aside, feeling a slight displeasure. Among the younger generation, he was considered top-tier and had never been so lightly dismissed.
However, the patient was paramount. Lu Fan's confidence made him curious to see what treatment methods he possessed.
Approaching the child, Lu Fan took out silver needles and acupunctured four different points on his body, while simultaneously forming hand seals.
Zhao Handong watched intently. He didn't understand how to treat such a complex illness, and this was a golden opportunity. Even learning a fraction of it would be beneficial for a lifetime.
Shortly after, black qi was expelled from the child's body, and a mouthful of black blood was vomited out.
Doctor Wu was shocked, "He is Elder Shen's grandson! Nothing must happen to him!"
"Be quiet!" Lu Fan shouted. "Get out now!"
Doctor Wu was furious and was about to lash out when Zhao Handong stopped him, "The situation is critical, and lives are at stake. You cannot bear the responsibility if something goes wrong!"
Doctor Wu, holding back his anger, walked towards the ward exit. Lu Fan frowned, "This is not an ordinary illness. As I suspected!"
"Master, do you need my assistance?" Zhao Handong stepped forward.
"You cannot help," Lu Fan shook his head. "I must handle this myself!"
Zhao Handong remained silent. The situation was critical, and he didn't want to disturb Lu Fan.
Outside the ward, Shen Tianlong and others waited. Seeing Doctor Wu emerge, Director Zhao asked, "How is it?"
"I am powerless to help. The child is fading!" Doctor Wu shook his head. "That young man doesn't know medicine at all. He's a quack!"
As soon as he spoke, Shen Tianlong stumbled, almost falling to the ground. His Shen family had fought on battlefields for generations. If he couldn't even protect his last descendant, how could he accept it?
Inside the ward, the child on the bed gradually stabilized. Although he had vomited black blood, his complexion became rosy and tender, and his breathing grew steady.
"Master is indeed an extraordinary person!" Zhao Handong exclaimed with joy. "Truly a Hua Tuo reborn!"
Lu Fan's expression remained indifferent. "This is not a difficult illness, but rather he has encountered something unclean. If I hadn't used special methods, even the most powerful immortal would have been unable to save him today!"
"Master, what methods did you use? Could you teach me?" Zhao Handong asked earnestly.
"You probably wouldn't be able to learn it even if I taught you," Lu Fan smiled.
As they walked out of the ward, they saw everyone looking dejected, with Old Master Shen appearing particularly grief-stricken.
"Divine Doctor Lu, since I chose to trust you, even if my grandson had met with misfortune, I would not blame you," Shen Tianlong said solemnly. "My Shen family thanks you!"
Old Master Shen's face was filled with sorrow. He understood clearly that even if Lu Fan hadn't intervened, his grandson might not have survived.
"The patient's condition has stabilized. What is wrong, Old Master?" Lu Fan asked, bewildered. "Could someone have been spreading rumors?"
"The patient's condition has stabilized?" Director Zhao was the first to jump out. "Is that true?"
"Would I lie about that!" Zhao Handong walked out. "My master has never failed when he acts!"
Old Master Shen was overjoyed and rushed towards the ward, with Director Zhao and others following. Doctor Wu looked on in astonishment.
But upon seeing the child's condition improve, he looked at Lu Fan with utter shock. As a top-tier doctor, he knew exactly what had happened. Lu Fan's methods were akin to bringing the dead back to life.
"It's alright, it's finally alright now!" Old Master Shen held the child's hand, his eyes filled with surprise.
He had lost all hope, but Lu Fan's miraculous recovery had given him a new glimmer.
"Grandpa, I'm so hungry!"
The child lying on the bed spoke, his face looking even more gaunt. Su Dan Novel Network.
"Quick, quickly go prepare some food!" Director Zhao urged.
Shen Longtian stood up and looked at Lu Fan, bowing deeply. "Divine Doctor Lu, your great kindness is something my Shen family will never forget!"
"Old Master Shen, you are too kind. The Shen family, for three generations, has been descendants of loyalty. He was not destined to die,"
Lu Fan said directly. "Therefore, Old Master Shen need not be so."
Having said this, Lu Fan continued, "However, his condition is complex and involves many factors. If the source is not eradicated, there will be endless trouble in the future!"
"Divine Doctor Lu means there is something unclean within my residence?"
Old Master Shen was surprised. "Actually, I had thought of that before!"
"I am only speculating. As for whether it is or not, I am not entirely sure," Lu Fan shrugged.
"With Divine Doctor Lu's skills, how can you be an ordinary person?" Shen Tianlong said seriously. "When do you have time, Divine Doctor Lu, to come to my mansion for a few drinks?"
"Old Master Shen's personal invitation, I cannot refuse," Lu Fan nodded.
In fact, he knew very well that the Shen family mansion was likely not as simple as it seemed.
