673: Chapter 669: The Old Man with a Fracture 673: Chapter 669: The Old Man with a Fracture Given Zhang Bo’s perseverance, Ye Tian didn’t think he could hold out for long, at most a day or two later, this guy would be unable to resist and would open up to him.
“Ye Xuong, keep an eye on this interrogation room at all times.
If this guy softens up, notify me immediately, and I will come back to continue questioning him!”
Ye Tian gave orders to Ye Xuong, who immediately nodded.
“Yes!
Boss!”
“Ye Xuong, I owe you one.”
Ye Tian looked at Ye Xuong with an approving gaze, as for Ye Tian, Ye Xuong was the most trusted subordinate in the entire Night King Hall.
“Boss, thank you for your praise, please make sure to consider the future of the Night King Hall!”
Ye Xuong said complimentarily, and watched as Ye Tian left the headquarters estate of the Night King Hall.
It was already morning, and because Ye Tian had informed Yun Xinyan in advance that he would not be returning home at night, Ye Tian did not go back to the villa but directly headed to Jiang City’s pedestrian street square.
In the fight against Zhang Bo, had it not been for the energy absorbed from that strange jade stone, Ye Tian might not have overcome the butler of the Sima Family.
Having tasted the sweet fruit, Ye Tian naturally wanted to try again…
Although he couldn’t take the jade stone with him, he could sit in meditation next to it, allowing him to absorb more of the force of nature from within the stone!
However, as soon as Ye Tian arrived at the entrance of the mall, he saw a crowd gathered there, watching the excitement.
Out of curiosity, Ye Tian squeezed his way through and saw an old man sitting on the ground, shouting loudly, “You guys, don’t think about touching me!
My leg is already broken, and if you mess with it any further, won’t it completely cripple me?”
Next to the old man, a doctor in a white coat said with a pained expression, “Old sir, if you won’t let us touch your leg, how can we set it?”
The old man angrily said, “Set my bone?
Are you guys qualified?
I am an old traditional Chinese doctor myself; why should someone like you do it for me?”
“Old sir, even if you are a traditional Chinese doctor, when you break a leg, you can’t just leave it untreated, right?
If things go on like this, I’m afraid your leg will become lame!”
The doctor pleaded earnestly, but the old man in front of him wouldn’t listen.
Ye Tian watched with interest, hearing from the onlookers that the old man seemed to have accidentally fallen and broken his leg, unable to get up.
Therefore, the people nearby had called a doctor from Jiang City People’s Hospital, and even an ambulance as well, but the old man stubbornly refused to let the doctor touch him.
Since the old man continuously disagreed with the doctor in front of him, the two were at a stalemate at the entrance of the mall, so they could only keep waiting, and the ambulance parked nearby was already disrupting the normal order of the mall.
Seeing this, Ye Tian quietly approached the old man…
“Old man, may I set your bone for you?”
Ye Tian’s words astonished the old man.
“You set my bone?
What are you?
Are you also a doctor from some hospital?”
The old man asked bluntly, while the doctor from the People’s Hospital beside him also looked astonished, hurriedly saying, “Sir, the situation is already bad enough, please don’t cause more trouble, okay?”
The surrounding crowd, also puzzled, did not understand why this man would try to intervene when even a doctor couldn’t manage this old man.
Facing the old man’s inquiry, Ye Tian just smiled and said, “I do not belong to any hospital either, but like you, I am a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine.”
“You a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine?
For someone as young as you to dare claim you are?”
It is well known that traditional Chinese medicine is becoming increasingly popular, so why would the old man believe in Ye Tian’s medical skills when he looked so youthful?
“When I reached a certain age, I dared to call myself a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine.
At your young age, what quack medicine do you know?”
The old man said discontentedly, while the surrounding passersby also advised Ye Tian.
“Young man, if you don’t really have the skills, don’t get involved.
This old man doesn’t even trust the doctors from the People’s Hospital, let alone you!”
“Right, traditional Chinese medicine is very particular; it can’t be practiced without decades of accumulation.
It’s better for you to stay away!”
…
The doctor from the People’s Hospital, also unapologetically said, “Sir, we are in the middle of a rescue operation, please do not hinder us!
If the patient suffers because of a delay in treatment, you will have to bear responsibility!”
Ye Tian, ignoring the unusual looks from the people around him, carefully took out a box from his pocket and held it in front of the old man.
“Old man, guess what is inside this box?”
The old man immediately said disdainfully, “How would I know what it is?”
Ye Tian opened the box, inside of which there were dozens of silver needles as fine as bee stingers, exquisitely made.
“Hmph!
Just a few needles!
Boy, don’t tell me you can use these needles for acupuncture on me?”
As an old traditional Chinese doctor, the old man naturally knew the excellent use of acupuncture, but in this world, those who truly mastered the essence of acupuncture were probably fewer than ten.
So, anyone who casually pulls out a silver needle claiming to practice Chinese medicine, definitely has no real expertise!
“Hehehe~~~ that’s not necessarily true!”
Ye Tian chuckled and took out a silver needle from the box, and then swiftly stabbed it towards the old man’s cervical vertebra.
“Boy, what are you doing?”
The doctor behind him yelled, could it be that Ye Tian wanted to kill someone?
“You…”
The old man was also stunned, but Ye Tian’s needling was extremely fast, and in an instant, the silver needle was inserted into his nape.
After the needle was inserted, the old man immediately felt his whole body go numb…
“What is going on?”
At this moment, the old man’s face showed an incredulous expression.
Just a single silver needle inserted into his body had caused his whole body to feel numb; if it were not for a highly skilled acupuncturist who knew the acupoints well, this would have been impossible.
“Old sir, how do you feel?” Ye Tian asked with a smile, “Does it still hurt?”
Upon Ye Tian’s inquiry, the old man realized that the foot which had been in agony due to the fracture now felt no pain at all, as if he had never been injured.
Without anesthetics, just a single silver needle had managed to do this, which left the old man in awe…
The surrounding crowd also widened their eyes in amazement at everything that was happening before them, finding it extremely mysterious.
“Is it real?
Just inserting a silver needle into the nape can relieve pain?
I’ve never seen such a thing in my life!”
“I haven’t seen it either, in this case, doesn’t it even save on anesthetics?
If acupuncture is used for anesthesia during surgeries, it wouldn’t just save money but also avoid side effects!”
“It’s incredible!
Traditional Chinese medicine is indeed profound and extensive!”
…
Seeing the crowd’s high esteem for Ye Tian’s skill, the doctor who had rushed over from the People’s Hospital couldn’t stand it anymore!
He had taken time out of his busy schedule to come here, only to find himself disrespected and fuming!
“What a joke!
How could a mere silver needle relieve pain?
You two are clearly in cahoots!”
This doctor roared, and his words made sense—how could there be such miraculous medical skills in the world, this young and old duo were clearly in collusion to trick the doctors and the onlookers.
Confronted with the doctor’s skepticism, Ye Tian didn’t say much but said, “Doctor, I’m here to set this elderly gentleman’s bones.
If you can’t set bones, could you please stop talking nonsense?”
“What a joke!
As a proud orthopedic expert from the People’s Hospital, would I not know how to set bones?
And you want to teach me?”
The doctor was indignant, thinking why else would he have come here if not to set the old man’s bones?
However, Ye Tian just shook his head, and said, “Doctor, setting bones is not just about fixing the bones!
Knowing how to set bones is no big skill; the real skill is in making sure the bones heal correctly!
If you cannot ensure this elder’s legs return to their original condition, then let me do it!”
“What do you mean by ‘return to original condition’?”
The doctor coldly asked, very dissatisfied with Ye Tian, wondering how this man could be so unyielding.
“Returning to original condition means making the old man’s leg return to how it was before, as if it had never been injured at all!”
Ye Tian added, but this statement angered the orthopedic expert before him!
“What a joke!
‘Injured tendons and bones need a hundred days to heal,’ even the most skilled orthopedic doctors need three months for bones to heal completely after setting.
How could it heal right now?
Moreover, this old man is elderly and his bones regenerate differently from younger people, it might not even mend in three months, let alone immediately returning to the original condition!”
This time, all the bystanders seemed to side with this People’s Hospital doctor.
After a fracture, setting the bone might be easy, but making the bone return to original condition?
How could that be possible?
That should be common sense, right?
Ye Tian also saw the puzzled looks on people’s faces and said, “If you can’t make this elder’s leg return to its original condition right now, what’s the point of talking about setting bones?
You call yourself an orthopedic expert?”
Ye Tian’s words, laced with irony, infuriated the doctor on the spot!
“Asshole, what nonsense are you talking?
Even immortals couldn’t heal the bones right after setting them.
Stop spouting nonsense and please leave here!”
The doctor even thought of calling the police, but then he thought that if this young man couldn’t truly fix the bones to their original condition, he would surely be ridiculed.
Upon another look, the old man with the bone fracture had his leg bone twisted and misshapen—it was indeed a serious fracture, so he needn’t worry that they were colluding…
“Fine, fine, fine, I’m an outsider!
Kid, you try it then!
Set this elderly gentleman’s bones, I want to see how you can make his foot return to the original condition right now!”
The doctor said resignedly, adopting a wait-and-see attitude.
