The crouching Wan Yunting paused, then turned his head to look at Gu Yuanbai standing on his left. Although he was murmuring to himself, his words clearly reached Wan Yunting's ears, causing him to furrow his brow and look at the old man with inner vigilance.
After all, the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles had miraculous effects in treating conditions like epilepsy and mental illness. That's why Wan Yunting had used the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles to rescue the woman in labor in full public view.
He hadn't expected an old man who recognized the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles to be standing beside him!
Gu Luotang and Qi Miaomiao, who were crouching next to Wan Yunting, obviously hadn't heard their grandfather's words. As for the surrounding passers-by, even if they had heard, they understood even less about the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles and what it meant to Wan Yunting.
But at this moment, Gu Yuanbai's sharp gaze was fixed on the young man before him, who could actually perform the long-lost 'Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles'! His heart was shaken, and the hands behind his back trembled slightly...
Soon, an ambulance arrived.
Jiang Tongxin and Su Ke'er, dressed in white coats, along with three nurses, pulled a stretcher out of the car. The onlookers made way.
"Brother Yunting..."
Seeing Wan Yunting crouching beside the woman, Su Ke'er was surprised.
"Ke'er, Director Jiang, please wait a moment."
Seeing Jiang Tongxin and Su Ke'er approaching, Wan Yunting shifted his gaze from Gu Yuanbai and asked them to wait. He had just finished needling the woman and couldn't move her yet.
Jiang Tongxin nodded, and Su Ke'er said nothing more. She crossed her arms, tilted her head, slanted her big eyes, and puffed out her small mouth, clearly still angry with Wan Yunting.
Five minutes later.
Gu Luotang examined the woman's symptoms. She gradually regained consciousness and said, "Doctor Wan, her condition has stabilized."
"Good, I'll collect the needles."
After tending to the wound on his left palm where the woman had bitten him, Wan Yunting went to remove the three acupuncture needles, then turned to Jiang Tongxin and Su Ke'er and said, "You can take her to the hospital now."
Jiang Tongxin nodded, and she and Su Ke'er went forward, lifted the woman onto the stretcher, and pushed her towards the ambulance.
Seeing Wan Yunting with two beautiful women again, Su Ke'er felt even more upset. She glared at the man with her big eyes and then turned away sulkily.
Wan Yunting knew the girl was angry with him, so he could only explain the woman's situation to Jiang Tongxin.
"Understood, I'll contact her family."
Jiang Tongxin knew he was going to attend the conference at the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine today. With that, she said goodbye and got back into the ambulance.
For a moment, seeing that there was no more excitement, the onlookers also dispersed.
Wan Yunting turned back and saw Gu Luotang and Qi Miaomiao standing beside the old man, seeming to have guessed his identity!
"Doctor Wan, you were amazing just now. Three needles stabilized that auntie's epilepsy," Qi Miaomiao praised.
Wan Yunting picked up the first-aid kit from the ground and said, "Thanks to your help, otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to stabilize her by myself."
Gu Luotang smiled slightly and said, "It was Doctor Wan's timely rescue; we only provided a little help."
At this moment, Gu Yuanbai spoke, looking at Wan Yunting and smiling, "You're the newly recruited physician, Doctor Wan, from Director Jiang's Traditional Chinese Medicine department, aren't you."
Wan Yunting looked at him, and Qi Miaomiao immediately said, "He's my mentor!"
Indeed, the old man before him was the president of the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the president of the Huadu Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, Gu Yuanbai.
"Young man, you are very good. Director Jiang has found a treasure," Gu Yuanbai said, pointing at Wan Yunting and smiling.
"Principal Gu, you flatter me."
Wan Yunting cupped his hands respectfully, but he remained vigilant about how Gu Yuanbai had recognized his use of the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles.
After all, his master, the Ghost Hand Medical Saint, was not to be exposed yet!
At this moment, the cars behind them were honking. Wan Yunting's car was stopped at a traffic light, causing congestion.
"You're also going to the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, right? We'll talk later then."
"Okay."
Wan Yunting nodded, then picked up the first-aid kit, got into his car quickly, and drove away to avoid obstructing others.
"Let's follow them, or we'll be late."
Seeing this, Gu Yuanbai, Gu Luotang, and Qi Miaomiao all got into their cars and followed Wan Yunting's car towards the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Huadu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine is located at No. 262 Huangpu Road.
This is a university established at the end of the last century and the only university of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the entire Lingnan Province.
The physicians who graduated from here were basically assigned to work in the Traditional Chinese Medicine departments of hospitals in various cities within the province, which was considered a very good unit in the past.
However, due to the development of society and the increasing Westernization, fewer and fewer young people choose to study Traditional Chinese Medicine, resulting in only a little over three thousand students across all departments at Huadu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. This is incomparable to the tens of thousands of students at the neighboring Huadu University.
The Huadu Traditional Chinese Medicine Association holds an annual conference in the university's auditorium, inviting renowned TCM physicians from all over the province to participate.
The main theme of this conference is to promote and propagate Traditional Chinese Medicine! Therefore, only highly reputable TCM physicians from various parts of the province or members of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association are qualified to attend.
At present, the university's auditorium is already filled with more than two hundred renowned TCM physicians from all over the province attending the conference. Among them are many young faces, who are basically brought by their mentors to broaden their horizons.
"Old Wang, you've arrived too."
"Yes, I arrived last night."
"Oh, you old rascal, you've come quite quickly..."
In their seats, the physicians who knew each other sat together. After all, they came from different parts of the province and rarely had the chance to meet. The annual conference was also an opportunity for them to gather, so they invited each other to go out for drinks and gatherings after the conference.
At this moment, an old man in a gray Tang suit walked in, surrounded by a group of people. It was Weng Dehai.
"Director Weng is here..."
Instantly, all the physicians in the auditorium stood up and turned to look at Weng Dehai and his entourage as they entered from the main entrance. He also had a radiant expression and cupped his hands to greet everyone, "Hello everyone, Old Zhang, you're here too... Please sit down, everyone, don't be so formal, sit down quickly..."
Under everyone's gaze, Weng Dehai and other important members of the association walked towards the front of the auditorium.
"Director Jiang is here too..."
Immediately after, Jiang Yichun also strode in. The people who had not yet sat down stood up again, looking back and greeting him. Jiang Yichun also smiled, cupped his hands to greet everyone, and repeatedly gestured for them to sit down. He then walked directly towards the front of the auditorium because a row of tables and chairs was arranged on the stage, with names written on them, specifically for the VIPs like Weng Dehai and Jiang Yichun. Among them, the central position had a nameplate, which was Gu Yuanbai's.
"Why hasn't President Gu arrived yet?"
"I don't know. It's almost nine o'clock."
"Quickly call and ask if President Gu is delayed by anything."
The people seated at the front saw that it was already 8:55 AM, but Gu Yuanbai and his granddaughter Gu Luotang had not yet arrived. Jiang Yichun couldn't help but become anxious because Wan Yunting had also not arrived.
"President Gu must be stuck in traffic. The conference will start when he arrives."
Suddenly, Weng Dehai stood up and, in a theatrical tone, gestured to pacify everyone in the auditorium, as if he were the president of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association.
"Old Jiang, why haven't I seen that kid you newly recruited for the Traditional Chinese Medicine department?"
Looking at Jiang Yichun, who was standing beside him with an unusual expression, Weng Dehai scanned the auditorium and did not see Wan Yunting, indicating that he had not yet arrived.
"At this time, he's still not here. Is he more important than our President Gu!"
The speaker was Weng Dehai's disciple, Dong Yuanlang, who knew that Jiang Yichun would definitely bring Wan Yunting to the conference.
"Who is Vice President Weng referring to?"
"It's a young physician newly recruited by Director Jiang of the Southern Traditional Chinese Medicine Department, named Wan Yunting!"
"Oh, so it's that young man who treated the daughter's strange illness of the chairman of Xingfa Group a few days ago, right."
"Yes, yes, it's him. I heard that many people went to see it at the time, and even Vice President Weng and his group went. But in the end, it was that young man who diagnosed the patient's strange illness!"
"Wow, so that Wan Yunting is quite capable. No wonder Vice President Weng is being so sour now!"
Sitting below, a few physicians from other parts of the province were pointing at Weng Dehai and his group, who were speaking sarcastically on the stage, and discussing in low voices. After all, Wan Yunting's successful treatment of Fan Xingfa's daughter's strange illness a few days ago had spread throughout the Huadu Traditional Chinese Medicine community, so everyone had heard something about it...
