Han Kang lay on the mobile hospital bed, unconscious. His body was riddled with stab wounds, his clothes completely soaked in blood.
Han Lang hurried forward, stopping the bed with a "snap." The medical staff and Cao Xue Rong, who followed behind, were momentarily stunned. When Cao Xue Rong saw Han Lang, she seemed to have found her pillar of support, covering her mouth and sobbing uncontrollably.
The medical staff, not understanding the situation, frowned and shouted loudly. "What are you doing, sir? The patient is in critical condition, please do not obstruct our rescue!"
Seeing this, Cao Xue Rong quickly composed herself and stepped forward to explain. "Everyone, he is the patient's brother and also a doctor. Please hand the patient over to him now!"
The lead middle-aged doctor thought he had misheard and quickly reminded her. "Miss Cao, are you sure? The patient's condition is very serious. If treatment is not administered promptly, we may miss the optimal treatment window!"
Cao Xue Rong nodded quickly. "I am sure. Doctor Deng, thank you for your hard work!"
Seeing that the doctors were no longer hesitant, Han Lang also quickly stepped forward. While quickly stemming the bleeding, he said solemnly, "Push him into the ward!"
Luo Jiaying, holding back her tears, assisted Han Lang in pushing Han Kang into Han Zhongyi's ward without hesitation.
Seeing Han Kang in such a state, Su Su, as his mother, felt her heart being torn apart. With tear-filled eyes, she followed them into the ward and asked, "What exactly happened? Why were those people so heartless!"
Seeing Su Su so distressed, Cao Xue Rong felt a surge of guilt. "It's all my fault! I shouldn't have left him. Those people clearly had us targeted for a long time!"
Han Lang, while carefully feeling Han Kang's pulse, also asked with a puzzled expression. "Miss Tao, are you implying that they deliberately attacked when you were away?"
Cao Xue Rong nodded. "Yes! It was only during the time I went to the restroom. When I came out, Han Kang was already like this. And when they saw me come out, they all ran away in a hurry."
Cao Xue Rong's words made Han Lang even more perplexed. But now was not the time to investigate. Han Kang's pulse was very unstable, and he needed immediate treatment!
"Alright, we'll discuss these issues later. Han Kang's condition is not good. The stab wounds are not the main issue; his back of the head suffered a severe blow, and his consciousness is already starting to dissipate. I need to perform treatment immediately. You three, guard the door and don't let anyone in!"
Hearing Han Lang's words, the three women dared not hesitate. They each found a stool and sat by the ward door.
As the room fell silent, Han Lang immediately used "Shen Hun Ju" from the Shen Nong Eighteen Needles on Han Kang's head!
Shen Hun Ju was one of the special acupuncture techniques in the Shen Nong Eighteen Needles that had always puzzled Han Lang. As the name suggested, "Shen" referred to divine consciousness, and "Hun" referred to the soul. The function of Shen Hun Ju was to gather divine consciousness and soul!
However, the memories of the Shen Nong Heavenly Physician contained no concepts of cultivators or spirits and ghosts! How did the acupuncture techniques incorporate the concepts of "divine consciousness" and "soul"? After all, for conditions like Old Master Cao's coma, the Shen Nong Heavenly Physician's memories had no relevant treatment plans. Yet, it was a condition that could be easily resolved by unblocking the sea of consciousness, but the Shen Nong Heavenly Physician was helpless?
Conversely, Han Kang's current situation was caused by a severe blow to the central nervous system at the back of his head, leading to the dissipation of consciousness. And the so-called dissipation of consciousness was essentially the dissipation of divine consciousness, or the soul! Yet, for such a condition, the Shen Nong Eighteen Needles could actually "summon the soul"! This made Han Lang truly baffled by this series of acupuncture techniques!
However, on second thought, the sea of consciousness, or the soul, of a cultivator was far stronger than that of an ordinary person. Therefore, the only plausible explanation was that the sea of consciousness of ordinary people was too fragile. After all, even a slight external blow or low blood sugar could cause the sea of consciousness of ordinary people to vibrate. Hence, the Shen Nong Heavenly Physician had this set of acupuncture techniques to stabilize the divine soul of ordinary people.
As the eighteen needles were inserted, a subtle formation appeared in Han Kang's mind, like the great Brahma sounds of heaven echoing in his sea of consciousness, stimulating his consciousness to gradually return. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Han Lang also unbuttoned his clothes and treated each of his wounds. After finishing, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door.
"How is it?" The three people outside the door immediately stood up when they saw him and asked in unison.
"There are no major problems. However, Han Kang needs to rest. I want him to stay in the hospital tonight and arrange for someone to transfer him to the Heavenly Physician Pavilion tomorrow. After all, it is safer there." The Heavenly Physician Pavilion had Ma Long stationed there, and ordinary thugs would not pose any threat to it.
"Okay, I'll find someone to arrange a ward immediately!" Cao Xue Rong felt guilty about Han Kang's injury. Although everyone knew it wasn't her fault, she eagerly volunteered to help arrange the hospitalization.
"Alright, thank you, Miss Tao! Preferably a ward with good soundproofing!" Han Lang also made his request without hesitation. From the fact that she could easily persuade the doctors here to hand Han Kang over to him, it was evident that Cao Xue Rong had some connections with the doctors here.
"What about your father? Does he need to stay in the hospital for a few days too?"
"No need! My father only suffered superficial injuries. He can go home directly after he wakes up."
Su Su clearly didn't believe it. "Ah? The flesh and skin around your father's wounds are turned out, and you can see the bone. How can they be superficial injuries? Lang'er, are you mistaken!"
Han Lang was somewhat speechless. If it weren't for the fact that it was his mother saying this, he would have definitely stormed off in anger at such a question. "Mom, don't worry! Dad really only has superficial injuries. If you really don't believe me, then let him stay with Han Kang for one night!"
Su Su finally felt relieved after hearing this. "Okay, okay! Staying for one night to observe is best!"
...
Soon, with Cao Xue Rong's arrangements, several nurses quickly transferred Han Kang and Han Zhongyi to a VIP ward.
At the ward entrance, Han Lang recalled Cao Xue Rong's previous account of Han Kang's accident and asked again. "Miss Tao, you said that the thugs injured Han Kang during the time you went to the restroom, but the thugs we encountered didn't seem to intend to let Xiao Ying go."
Cao Xue Rong was also somewhat puzzled. Logically speaking, she was just a woman, and with so many of them, if they really intended to attack Han Kang, she shouldn't have been a threat. Moreover, when she came out of the restroom, they fled in a panic after she shouted once. This didn't make sense no matter how she thought about it! "Could it be that they knew I was from the Cao family, and they were afraid of the Cao family behind me?"
