"Quick, there's a reaction..."
The surrounding parents, witnessing Liu He's niece react to the Five Metals Toxin Extraction Needling Technique, saw a glimmer of hope. They were all excited and their faces lit up. They immediately grabbed Liu He and shouted, "Vice Chairman Liu, quickly give my son acupuncture!"
In an instant, Liu He was pulled by the parents, who hailed him as a savior. A smile appeared on his face, and his triumphant gaze inadvertently swept over Wan Yunting, who had been standing outside. He laughed at the parents, "Don't rush, everyone. I'll attend to you one by one..."
"Tch, look at him getting all smug."
Su Ke'er, standing beside Wan Yunting, couldn't stand Liu He's smugness. She said dismissively, "If it weren't for you, Brother Yunting, telling him that the children were poisoned by oleander, would he be so arrogant?"
Wan Yunting, with his arm around Su Ke'er's shoulders, also smiled and said, "Don't worry, he won't be smug for long."
Su Ke'er turned her head to look up at him, unsure of what Wan Yunting meant by his words.
"Uh..."
Liu Xiaoxuan, lying on the bed, began to convulse. Her face, which had turned a dark purple, and her purplish-black lips let out pained groans. Liu He, who was about to attend to another child, turned his head. Seeing his daughter's condition worsening, his cousin Liu Tai anxiously said, "Liu He, Xuan'er doesn't seem well. Hurry and check on her..."
"Don't worry, I'll check her pulse."
Liu He's heart tightened. He put down his needle case and took his niece's wrist to check her pulse. He saw that the purplish-black discoloration on her chest and skin was deepening, and the Five Metals Toxin Extraction Needling Technique had no effect at all.
"Impossible, the Five Metals Toxin Extraction Needling Technique should be able to expel the toxins from the lungs!"
Liu He's eyes widened, his expression gloomy. He muttered to himself, and looking at his niece's current symptoms, he guessed, "Could it be that the poisoning is too deep, making it impossible to expel the toxins from the lungs?"
Seeing Liu He frozen again, the surrounding parents became agitated and fearful. They asked, "Is it working or not?"
"Yeah, we're dying of anxiety. Director Xu, now that you know my son is poisoned by oleander, can you find a way to save him?"
Xu Ye Jing shook her head and said, "You sent them here too late. Gastric lavage and other treatments are no longer effective because the toxins have already entered the children's organs and hearts. So..."
"What, does that mean my daughter is beyond saving?"
Upon hearing this, the parent couldn't stay still any longer. They collapsed to the ground and wept bitterly...
The other parents saw Liu He adjusting the needle technique on his niece, but it still had little effect. Their anxiety grew, and their words became harsh. "Vice Chairman Liu, can you actually save our children?"
"Yes, if you can't, just say so. Don't delay us from transferring them to other doctors!"
"Transfer them, transfer them! Stop wasting time here, he can't treat anyone...!"
"Hmph, what a Vice Chairman of the Chinese Medicine Association, a hospital director, all fame and no substance. Let's transfer them quickly. We can't waste any more time on the children's treatment...!"
In an instant, the parents were furious, unleashing a torrent of insults. They began contacting other hospitals, intending to transfer their children for treatment...
"Cousin, do you really have no solution?"
Liu Tai and his wife were filled with anxiety and began to question Liu He. His cousin's wife, her eyes full of tears, shouted, "Quick, invite Grandpa Liu over."
Liu Tai, seeing Liu He's vigorous needling on his daughter yielding no results, was also in a frenzy. He turned to his wife who was shouting angrily, "Grandpa Liu is not in the capital. If he were, I would have invited him already."
"Sob, sob, my Xuan'er, if you die, how can your mother live..." Liu Tai's wife broke down and cried hysterically.
Liu Tai, agitated, said to Liu He, "Cousin, can you save Xuan'er? If not, please invite Doctor Xue or Doctor Li. I beg you, please..."
As he spoke, Liu Tai knelt directly before Liu He. He stopped needling his niece and turned to look at his cousin Liu Tai, who was kneeling beside him and crying in distress. Liu He shook his head dejectedly and said, "Brother Tai, Xuan'er and the others are too deeply poisoned. It has entered their internal organs. Even if we invite Elder Xue and Elder Li, they probably won't be able to save them!"
"Transfer them, quickly transfer them..."
The other parents around, upon hearing his words, shouted.
Xu Ye Jing's expression was calm. She said to these parents who wanted to transfer, "Dear parents, let me remind you, the children's condition has no room for recovery. Even if you transfer them to other doctors, I'm afraid they won't be saved."
"What, are you declaring my son dead?"
A middle-aged parent, upon hearing Xu Ye Jing's words, was furious, his face contorted with rage. He roared, "It's all your fault! It's because you are incompetent that you've wasted so much time on our children. If they had been sent to another hospital, perhaps our children would have been fine."
"Quacks, a bunch of useless quacks..."
The other parents, each losing control of their emotions, pointed at Liu He, Xu Ye Jing, and the other doctors, shouting insults.
However, Xu Ye Jing, who had seen life and death many times, remained calm. She said to these parents who had lost control of their emotions, "I fully understand your feelings right now, but I am reminding you not to make futile efforts. It's better to stay and spend time saying goodbye to the children, and don't torment them anymore."
"Go to hell with your goodbye! I'm transferring him right now. I believe there's definitely a doctor who can save my son."
The parent lost his mind, threw his phone in anger at Xu Ye Jing, and was about to carry his son off the bed to leave...
"How dare you throw things at someone..."
The other doctors and nurses, seeing Xu Ye Jing being hit, all accused the parent.
Liu He, standing beside his niece's bed, also became the target of the parents' attacks. He was also dejected and in pain, watching his niece gradually lose her vitality due to poisoning, while he was powerless. For a moment, he lowered his head, unable to refute the parents' scolding.
"Sir, sir, please calm down."
Seeing the parent about to carry his child away for a transfer, Wan Yunting walked over. He placed his hand on the child on the bed and comforted the agitated parent, "Director Xu was right just now. It's too late to transfer them now."
The parent ignored him and yelled at Wan Yunting, "Are you asking me to watch my son die here?"
Wan Yunting gave him a comforting smile and said calmly, "Don't worry, I won't let your son die."
"What?"
The other parents, hearing his words, all focused their attention on him. Wan Yunting scanned the anxiously tearful faces of the parents present and said loudly, "I mean, I won't let these children die like this. Please give me a chance!"
Liu He frowned at these words, his eyes fixed on Wan Yunting. He couldn't help but say, "Wan Yunting, you really dare to say that!"
Wan Yunting turned his head to meet Liu He's gaze and smiled, "Actually, the Five Metals Toxin Extraction Needling Technique can expel the toxins from the children's bodies, but your control of the needle is lacking!"
Liu He's face darkened. These words made his heart sink even further. He said coldly, "So, you can use the Five Metals Toxin Extraction Needling Technique to expel the toxins from the children's bodies?"
Wan Yunting didn't want to argue with him and waste the children's rescue time. He said earnestly to the parent, "Sir, why don't you let me try, how about it?"
The parent exchanged glances with his wife. Then he looked at his son on the bed, who was already at death's door. In their hearts, they knew that even if they transferred him, it would likely be too late.
"Alright, Mr. Wan, you must save my son." The parent gritted his teeth.
The other parents remained silent, but they hoped to see Wan Yunting truly save the children.
"Don't worry, if anything goes wrong, I'll take responsibility." Seeing the doctors about to speak, Wan Yunting said directly.
Xu Ye Jing and the other doctors had no choice but to fall silent.
Wan Yunting said to Liu He, "Vice Chairman Liu, may I borrow your gold needles?"
Liu He frowned, his eyes fixed on Wan Yunting. After a pause, he handed him the needle case. "I want to see how you use the Five Metals Toxin Extraction Needling Technique to expel the poison."
Wan Yunting, receiving the needle case, smiled and nodded. Without a word, he turned and stood by the little boy's bedside. He looked at the child whose complexion had turned purplish, lips black, skin gradually turning purple, and breathing extremely weak. He was already on the verge of death.
Knowing that time was of the essence, Wan Yunting wasted no words. He extended his right hand, picking out a seven-inch gold needle. He enveloped it with his powerful vital energy, achieving sterilization. With his left hand, he pressed down on the child's chest at the Tanzhong acupoint. His hand moved as fast as lightning, and a gold needle was already inserted...
Seeing the speed and fluidity of his technique, Liu He couldn't help but widen his eyes, observing Wan Yunting's movements closely, and secretly marveled in his heart...
In fact, Liu He had never witnessed Wan Yunting perform needling before. Although Wan Yunting had achieved many accomplishments in previous special cases, such as those with sagging skin, and the praises of Gu Yuanbai and others for Wan Yunting's medical skills, he had always felt from the bottom of his heart that he was invincible among his peers in Chinese medicine.
It wasn't until now that he finally saw Wan Yunting's acupuncture technique with his own eyes. Judging from his lightning-fast and fluid needling, he could be sure that his acupuncture skills were far superior to those who claimed to be divine doctors or national physicians.
Although Liu He was unwilling to admit it, watching Wan Yunting perform his needling, he felt he was somewhat inferior!
"Qi!"
However, what shocked Liu He the most was that every time Wan Yunting inserted a needle, he could feel the gold needle being wrapped by an invisible force of qi. As the gold needle penetrated several acupoints on the child's chest, he gradually saw the child's skin color changing. The pale purple toxins were visibly gathering towards the gold needles inserted into the child's chest at an astonishing speed...
"Look quickly, the gold needles are turning black!"
The parents gathered around the bedside watched as the gold needles gradually turned black, and black blood seeped out from beneath them. The parents' eyes widened in disbelief...
"Ah, the child is spitting blood...!"
The next moment, the little boy lying on the bed suddenly vomited a large amount of black blood. The parents screamed in shock, their nerves tensing once again.
