Chapter 296: Lin Qingxiu, Quack Doctor
“Who’s this person?” someone asked in confusion.
Another person replied, “I know him. He’s the top neurosurgeon in the country. He once saved my uncle’s life. There’s no reason for him to intentionally smear a young doctor.”
After these words, everyone criticized Lin Qingxiu even more harshly.
“What a menace.”
“Doctor my ass, if you don’t know what you’re doing, don’t come out and harm people. A quack like her is a disaster to the medical field.”
It was actually Doctor Chen!
Lin Qingxiu’s body went cold.
Her mind was racing with thoughts of doom.
With journalists present and Doctor Chen involved, the old man didn’t seem like an ordinary person either. Today’s incident might blow up.
If it does, her career would be over.
The bodyguard anxiously asked, “Doctor Chen, is there really nothing we can do?”
“Take him to the hospital. I’ll personally perform the surgery. The chance of saving him is only eight percent. Moreover, there’s traffic nearby, and the ambulance won’t arrive quickly. The longer we wait, the lower his chances of survival.” Doctor Chen sighed.
Lin Qingxiu was thinking about how to distance herself from all this.
An idea struck her, and her gaze fell on Brother Lin Xuan.
Perfect!
Isn’t Lin Xuan always eager to show off?
She’d let Lin Xuan treat him!
Then she could guide things online and pin everything on Lin Xuan. That way, she could extricate herself completely from the situation.
Lin Qingxiu felt justified.
This was Lin Xuan’s fault anyway. If he hadn’t insisted on showing off, she wouldn’t have stepped in to save the old man.
“Lin Xuan!”
Lin Qingxiu said, “Didn’t you say you had a way to treat this old man? Then go ahead!”
“The old man is in mortal danger now. You can’t just stand by and watch him die.”
Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow.
So Lin Qingxiu wanted to wash her hands clean of this.
But Lin Qingxiu’s plan was about to backfire.
“Fine, I’ll treat him,” Lin Xuan nodded.
Lin Qingxiu didn’t expect Lin Xuan to agree so easily. She was stunned when she heard his reply.
Even Doctor Chen couldn’t treat him, yet Lin Xuan dared to step in—what audacity!
“Good, then hurry up and save him,” Lin Qingxiu smiled faintly. “Lin Xuan, I’m telling you, today’s events might get national coverage. If anything goes wrong, your reputation will be ruined.”
“Miss Lin,” Lin Xuan smirked, “it was you who worsened the old man’s condition. Even if my reputation is destroyed, I’ll drag you down with me.”
“Lin Xuan, you!”
Lin Qingxiu’s face was filled with anger but stopped mid-sentence.
Fine.
Let Lin Xuan have his moment of glory. She’d keep quiet for now so that Lin Xuan doesn’t refuse to treat the old man, leaving her without a scapegoat.
Lin Xuan, Lin Xuan, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have intervened in the first place. All of this is on you.
Lin Xuan approached Doctor Chen, “Doctor Chen, can I examine this old man?”
“You are?” Doctor Chen furrowed his brows.
Lin Xuan nodded, “I’m a senior student in the Computer Science Department at Yun Capital University.”
“Nonsense!”
Doctor Chen frowned, “Human lives are at stake. How can I let you mess around like this?”
“Doctor Chen, isn’t the old man’s condition…?”
Lin Xuan accurately described the old man’s illness in detail.
Doctor Chen, who initially looked down on Lin Xuan, gradually showed signs of shock.
He actually… got it all right.
In fact, the old man had another latent issue, which was fatal. Even Doctor Chen hadn’t discovered it until the old man told him.
Moreover, the old man’s condition was concealed very well, making it impossible for anyone else to know.
So, did Lin Xuan diagnose it himself?
Lin Xuan continued, “You should know that even if the ambulance arrives now, the chances of saving him are slim. Why not let me give it a shot? Maybe I can save him.”
Lin Qingxiu smirked.
Lin Xuan talks big but has no guts to back it up.
Since Lin Xuan dared to defy her like this, she wouldn’t bother protecting him anymore.
Let him rot.
Doctor Chen frowned deeply as he scrutinized Lin Xuan.
Judging by his demeanor, Lin Xuan seemed confident he could cure the old man.
And indeed, he had perfectly outlined the old man’s condition.
Maybe he should let him try…
Doctor Chen nodded, “Alright, give it a shot. I’ll take full responsibility for any consequences.”
“Do you need any assistance, young man?”
“No need.”
Lin Xuan took out a cloth bag filled with various silver needles.
These were prepared beforehand from his storage space.
Lin Qingxiu frowned.
Was Lin Xuan going to perform acupuncture on him?
Lin Qingxiu inwardly sneered.
Surgery might not even work, and he thinks acupuncture will save him?
What a joke!
Lin Xuan instructed a bodyguard to help prop up the old man while he carefully inserted the silver needles into the old man’s head.
Lin Qingxiu couldn’t resist pointing fingers again, “The brain is one of the most important and fragile parts of the human body. One small mistake could cost him his life. Lin Xuan, I advise you to be careful.”
“Shut up,” Lin Xuan snapped impatiently.
The bystanders also frowned.
“This woman worsened the patient’s condition and still dares to criticize others. What thick skin,” someone muttered.
“You should shut up and stop interfering with the treatment,” another chimed in.
The crowd jeered.
Everyone looked at Lin Qingxiu with disdain.
Lin Qingxiu’s face burned with embarrassment. She wanted to leave but held back. She wanted to see Lin Xuan humiliated by these people!
Five needles were inserted into the old man’s head, some into his fingers, and a few into his chest.
Lin Xuan focused intently, slowly rotating the needles.
The reason Lin Xuan was so confident was that there was a similar case in the data from his storage space. He had practiced it before.
He had a 99% certainty; otherwise, he wouldn’t take such a risk.
Five minutes later.
The ambulance arrived, and Lin Xuan retracted the needles.
The old man remained motionless on the ground.
Doctor Chen hurriedly checked his pulse.
Lin Qingxiu crossed her arms, “Didn’t you say you could cure this old man? So why hasn’t he shown any signs of improvement?”
Lin Xuan arched an eyebrow but didn’t respond.
Lin Qingxiu thought he was scared and continued mocking him, “Since you don’t respect me as your sister, I won’t treat you as my brother. This time, I won’t clean up after you.”
Lin Xuan scoffed, “Miss Lin, the results aren’t in yet. Why are you jumping the gun?”
“Fine, I’ll wait for your results!” Lin Qingxiu huffed.
—
Tomorrow, we’ll deal with Shen Qianqian. It’s been long enough; Shen Qianqian should be out of the basement by now.
Guess who this old man is?
Good night~
