Forced to Marry a Female Billionaire CEO

Wang Wu suspected Yang Shoukang was about to get as excited as Zhang Qiming.

And sure enough, Yang Shoukang watched Xu Ke's departing figure, so overwhelmed with excitement he could barely speak clearly. "A genius. A true genius."

The nearby nurses and assistants exchanged glances. Is Xu Ke's medical expertise really this profound?

It was as if Yang Shoukang had witnessed a miracle. He murmured to himself, "The medical arts are flourishing!"

Controlling needles with Qi was a formidable technique that every practitioner of acupuncture aspired to master, but it was exceedingly difficult.

First, one needed profound skill in acupuncture. If you lacked exceptional skill even when holding a needle, then dreaming of controlling them with Qi was just that—a dream.

Second, you must possess powerful True Qi. Otherwise, forget controlling needles with Qi; you wouldn't even be able to make your True Qi leave your body. Moreover, simply being able to release True Qi didn't mean you could control needles with it.

For instance, Yang Shoukang was an Innate Mid Stage powerhouse. While he couldn't injure people from a distance, he could still release his True Qi as Protective True Qi. But even for him, precisely controlling the flow of True Qi, let alone using it to guide needles, was absolutely impossible.

Yet, Yang Shoukang couldn't wrap his head around how Xu Ke, who was only at the Postnatal Late Stage, had managed to do it.

What kind of genius is this? How is this even possible?

***

At this moment, Xu Ke was entirely focused on controlling the needles with his Qi. He chose this method not because he enjoyed a challenge, but because it was a requirement for the specific technique from the Tenro Thirteen Needles that could save Wang Yu.

This was also why Xu Ke had sealed Wang Yu's vital pathways. Otherwise, the surging power of the Tenro Thirteen Needles would have completely destroyed Wang Yu's life force.

While Xu Ke was wholly engrossed in treating Wang Yu, Wong Qifu arrived at the door of the emergency room.

Wang Wu hurried out to greet her. "Miss Qifu!"

"How is it going?" Wong Qifu's gaze sharpened.

Wang Wu said, "Mister Xu has already started the treatment. I'm almost certain he will succeed."

"Why do you say that? Did Xu Ke tell you something?" Wong Qifu asked, startled.

"It's not that Mister Xu told me himself." Wang Wu instinctively glanced behind him, and seeing that no one was paying attention, he lowered his voice. "It was Doctor Yang. When he saw Mister Xu performing his technique, his eyes filled with tears and he exclaimed that the medical arts are flourishing…"

"It seems the technique Mister Xu is using is divinely skillful. Saving Wang Yu shouldn't be a problem."

Wong Qifu's brow furrowed. He got even Doctor Yang that excited?

Wang Wu nodded.

A somber look crossed Wong Qifu's face. "Then I can only hope that Xu Ke truly succeeds."

Just then, a voice, arrogant and mocking, suddenly sounded from nearby. "Succeed? Wong Qifu, you must be deluding yourself. Xu Ke will pay the price."

It was Wang Tianlu. "Trying to save Wang Yu with his medical skills is nothing but a fool's dream!"

He had followed them down, intending to gloat over Wong Qifu's humiliation.

Wong Qifu shot him a glance and was about to speak, but at that moment…

The door to the emergency room flew open and Yang Shoukang stuck his head out, hissing angrily, "This is an emergency room! It is a critical area! No shouting!" He glared at Wang Tianlu. "If you keep yelling, you can get out!"

With that, Yang Shoukang slammed the door shut.

At his words, Wang Tianlu's face flushed a deep, ugly red. Having lived a life of pampered luxury, he couldn't stomach such a harsh rebuke. He was about to curse back, but when he realized it was the Grandmaster of The Medical Path, Yang Shoukang, he could only choke back the profanity.

How could Wang Tianlu dare curse the man with the greatest medical skill in the entire Wang Family, perhaps even all of Tianhai? If he did, where would he find such an excellent doctor to treat him in the future? The urge to curse, which he dared not act on, left him simmering with suffocating frustration.

Wang Wu chuckled. "Tianlu, just watch quietly. Don't make a fuss."

Hearing this, the already indignant Wang Tianlu's face turned ashen with humiliation. But he didn't understand. Why would Yang Shoukang scold him? And why would a Grandmaster of The Medical Path like him relinquish the responsibility of saving a life to Xu Ke?

What has Xu Ke possibly done to deserve Yang Shoukang yielding his position?!

***

Inside the emergency room, Xu Ke was drenched in sweat, his face pale. But he was delighted. His technique of controlling needles with Qi had ultimately succeeded.

As the Silver Needle, imbued with a golden light, emerged from Wang Yu's body and returned to Xu Ke's hand, Wang Yu's internal injuries were completely healed.

Throughout this process, Yang Shoukang and the others hadn't dared to speak. The nurses and assistants were silent out of nervousness. Yang Shoukang, however, was silent because he had been completely captivated by Xu Ke's fluid, miraculous technique. Aside from taking a moment to berate Wang Tianlu, he was filled with nothing but awe for Xu Ke.

After Xu Ke retrieved the Silver Needle, he saw Wang Yu's eyelids begin to tremble. He was clearly about to wake up. At the same time, the numbers on the monitors began returning to normal.

Seeing this, the staff burst into cheers. "Mister Xu, you're amazing!"

"A Divine Doctor! Truly a Divine Doctor!"

Xu Ke smiled, sweat dripping from his chin. "I was fortunate. I dare not accept the title of Divine Doctor. My success was only possible because you all maintained Wang Yu's condition while waiting for me. Otherwise, no matter how skilled I was, I would have failed."

He inwardly sighed in relief. It's finally done!

Yang Shoukang hurried over. "I can't take any credit for this. It was all thanks to your efforts, Dr. Xu."

Xu Ke smiled and was about to reply.

THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!

Aggressive knocking rattled the door, followed by several provocative voices. "Is he saved?"

"Then stop hiding in there like a coward and come out to show us!"

"What's the use of shouting 'Divine Doctor' in there? Did you hire a group of people to act with you, Xu Ke?"

"Is Wang Yu able to stand up yet?!"

Several members of the Wang Family loyal to Wang Tianlu had arrived.

Hearing this, Yang Shoukang's joyful expression instantly darkened. "Who is that outside?"

The male assistant rushed over. "I'll get the door!"

CLICK.

The lock turned, and the door was pushed open. Several men with scornful smiles stood outside, looking at Xu Ke and the others.

"Where's Wang Yu?"

"Oh? Isn't he still lying on the bed?"

"So what was all that about him being cured? A Divine Doctor? A Divine Doctor's job is to keep people lying down?"

Xu Ke scoffed, "What's your hurry?"

One of them sneered, "Of course we're in a hurry. When facing scum of the Wang Family like you, a parasite, we can't wait to kick you out."

Seeing that Wang Yu hadn't gotten up yet, he straightened his back, confident that Xu Ke would be thrown out.

Not far away, Wang Tianlu wore a cold smirk, smugly watching the scene unfold. He knew it. He knew Wang Yu wouldn't be able to get up. He knew he would win.

Meanwhile, Wong Qifu and Wang Wu watched Xu Ke with grave expressions.

Seeing their reactions, Xu Ke simply smiled, about to turn and have Wang Yu stand up.

But at that moment, Yang Shoukang suddenly strode forward and delivered several harsh slaps.

SLAP! SLAP! SLAP!

The crisp, loud sounds echoed through the emergency room.

The men were slapped into a daze, their cheeks swollen and bruised, as they sprawled onto the floor. They stared at Yang Shoukang in shock.

Why did he suddenly attack us?!

But what astonished everyone even more was that Yang Shoukang wasn't finished. He bellowed, "How dare you insult Doctor Xu! Get out!"

Wang Tianlu's face turned grim.

Everyone else was dumbfounded.

What… what in the world was going on?
