"Why is it you? Sister, what are you doing here?" Lin Tian stared at the alluring woman, exclaiming in disbelief.
The seductive woman walking ahead was indeed Zi Yan, and her attire was unusually formal today, which was nothing like her usual look as a proprietor. She had switched her high heels for low-heeled shoes and her miniskirt for slim-fit trousers. Yet, even dressed , there was nothing diminished about her slender beauty, particularly with her silk shirt tucked in, her waist appeared even more delicate, like the legendary "snake waist."
However, Zi Yan’s sudden appearance at the hospital was utterly puzzling. Yet, Zi Yan seemed even more surprised than Lin Tian, as she hadn’t expected the one causing trouble in the hospital to be her handsome junior.
But the look of surprise on Zi Yan’s face was fleeting, immediately replaced by an enchanting smile as she looked at Lin Tian and blinked flirtatiously, with a hint of playfulness.
"If my junior can be here, why can’t I?" Zi Yan said, looking at Lin Tian with a slight smile.
"Sister Zi Yan, you came too?" Xiao Manxuan, also taken aback to see Zi Yan, waved and called out.
Zi Yan elegantly smiled back at Xiao Manxuan; it was a graceful smile. Lin Tian saw it clearly. Why such a misleading smile for me and such a graceful one for others? Sister, are you trying to flirt with your junior?
Just as Lin Tian and the two women were exchanging looks, a middle-aged doctor quickly approached an older doctor with graying hair, pointing at Lin Tian and accusing him, "Dean Miao, I’m glad you’re here. This young man burst into the ICU and meddled with a patient. We need to hold him accountable; otherwise, if something happens, others will think it was our hospital’s doing."
This doctor with graying hair turned out to be the dean, which surprised Lin Tian, who couldn’t help but study him. Apart from his graying hair, even his eyebrows had a touch of white, but he looked energetic and didn’t even need reading glasses.
"Doctor Bi, how is the patient doing? Have you checked?" Dean Miao asked, expressionless, with a glance.
"This... I..." The middle-aged Doctor Bi stuttered, unable to answer. He awkwardly turned and shouted to the attending nurses, "What’s going on here? How long does it take to get the results?"
Embarrassed by Dean Miao’s question, he could only take his frustration out on the nurses.
Yet, Dean Miao pointed at him, emphasizing, "As the duty doctor, instead of checking on the patient, you are arguing with a young man. Which is more important, your duties or the patient’s health, huh!"
Dean Miao snorted coldly and moved on without further attention to him, walking up to the patient’s bed himself.
"Dean Miao, the test results are a bit odd, they don’t seem quite right," a young nurse paused her busy work and turned to speak to Dean Miao, her tone laden with confusion.
"How is it not right?" Dean Miao furrowed his brows and asked, then took the nurse’s notebook, listening and carefully reviewing the report given by the nurse.
"Dean Miao, we’ve checked three times, and we’ve confirmed that the patient’s vital signs have improved threefold compared to when he left the operating room. It’s a sign he might be waking up! This shouldn’t happen, it’s been less than two hours!" the young nurse said excitedly, her facial expression complex, a mix of thrill and disbelief.
"Is my husband waking up?" Zhong Huiyun rushed forward, grabbing the young nurse’s arm eagerly and asking.
"Based on the examination results, the possibility is quite high," the little nurse nodded and answered truthfully.
"Impossible, I reviewed his medical records when I took over his shift. According to the surgical records, Mr. Zuo couldn’t have woken up!" Doctor Bi said loudly, utterly disbelieving the nurse’s examination results.
The volume of his voice made Dean Miao frown, and he turned back to look at the middle-aged doctor angrily, "Always looking at medical records, looking at medical records, is that all you do, Doctor Bi? Have you ever personally examined him from the beginning to the end? Okay, please ask the three security officers to leave for now."
Dean Miao finally shook his head and ignored him. Instead, he sat down, extended his fingers, and placed them on Zuo Hongyi’s wrist, starting to read his pulse.
Lin Tian was quite surprised; a Dean, and also an old practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine. From his posture, he seemed to be an expert, and hadn’t neglected his own profession due to his administrative role.
The others quieted down, waiting for Dean Miao’s pulse-reading results. The expression on Dean Miao’s face was very serious, but after a few seconds, his expression turned to confusion, then to surprise, and finally to shock.
"Pushing the palace to pass blood! Someone skilled must have performed pushing the palace to pass blood on the patient just now, and the effect was very good. It’s really rare; I have been practicing traditional Chinese medicine for decades and have never seen anyone achieve such great results with pushing the palace to pass blood!" Dean Miao said, feeling the pulse and exclaiming in astonishment.
With this revelation, everyone in the intensive care unit turned their eyes towards Lin Tian; the young man, previously maligned as a troublemaker, was now praised as a skilled practitioner by the Dean.
If anyone in the intensive care unit felt the proudest and most delighted, it was Xiao Manxuan and not Lin Tian, the individual involved. She had always consistently believed in Lin Tian. Now that he had received high praise from the old Dean, the little girl was happier than anyone else.
Zuo Xing’er breathed a sigh of relief. With Dean Miao’s words, Lin Tian’s troubles seemed to have been resolved, otherwise she would have always felt guilty towards Lin Tian.
Zhang Lingyu looked at Lin Tian with admiration, whispering, "Lin Tian, you really keep your talents hidden, don’t you? Was the Nine Needle Technique also passed down to you by your master? You just now addressed that beautiful Sister as your sister. Could it be that she, like you, inherited the Nine Needle Technique?"
She suddenly became even more curious about Lin Tian. After being injured the last time, she thought Lin Tian only knew simple detoxification through massage. Moreover, during the last incident, Zhang Lingyu was lying down and was embarrassed by her torn clothes, so she hadn’t delved deeply into Lin Tian’s massage techniques.
Now, recalling carefully, Zhang Lingyu suddenly realized that Lin Tian had already used a miraculous massage technique to detox and heal her the previous time!
Lin Tian glanced at her and said, "Do you really want to know? Unfortunately, I can’t tell you; it’s a sect secret."
It wasn’t that Lin Tian didn’t want to speak, but that the scrolls of the Nine Needle Technique were too precious. If the information got out, a whole host of collectors, archaeologists, Chinese medicine scholars, and historians would trample down the Zi Yan Family’s doorstep.
And that was the best scenario. If any malicious individuals came to steal or rob it, she, a delicate beauty, would definitely be in trouble.
"Little junior brother, it’s good that you didn’t speak carelessly, otherwise I would have to hire you as my bodyguard," Zi Yan said quietly, coming up beside Lin Tian. She intentionally emphasized the words "personal bodyguard."
Just as Lin Tian was about to respond to Zi Yan, he suddenly stopped because Zhong Huiyun approached with a serious and thoughtful expression, leaving them to wonder what was on her mind.
