“Dad!”
“Hubby!”
“Pingjiang!”
Zhou Wanqiu, Zhao Guirong, and Zhou Rongchang’s expressions changed drastically.
Sun Zhongjing also looked flustered.
He didn’t expect his.
At this moment…
Zhou Pingjiang started convulsing and foaming at the mouth.
He was about to lose consciousness.
“Doctor Sun, please save my father!” Zhou Wanqiu begged.
Sun Zhongjing was also confused.
He tried everything.
In the end, all his methods only made Zhou Pingjiang’s condition worse.
It was over!
His lifetime of brilliance was over!
Sun Zhongjing was burning with anxiety.
Zhou Rongchang roared furiously.
“Doctor Sun, didn’t you say that you’d give up your life if something happened to him?”
“Su Chen just told you. Why didn’t you listen?”
Sun Zhongjing was embarrassed.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he quickly looked at Su Chen.
Zhou Pingjiang was reacting to the acupuncture exactly the way Su Chen had predicted he would.
Could it be that Su Chen’s medical skills were better than his?
He gritted his teeth!
“Su… Mr. Su Chen, I really have no choice. Please… Help me!”
Sun Zhongjing lowered his head, his face burning.
He really had no idea what to do!
Su Chen looked at Sun Zhongjing.
Doctor Sun’s character was not bad.
At the very least, he was not immoral. He would not disregard a patient’s life to preserve his own pride.
Zhou Rongchang hurriedly said, “Su Chen, I’m begging you. Please save Pingjiang.”
As he spoke, Zhou Rongchang reprimanded Zhou Wanqiu. “Wanqiu! Quickly apologize to Su Chen!”
Zhou Wanqiu clearly didn’t want to, but she lowered her head and said, “I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have said that to you just now. Please save my dad!”
Zhao Guirong also looked at Su Chen expectantly.
Su Chen didn’t waste time. He quickly approached him.
Puff!
Puff!
Puff!
He directly pulled out Sun Zhongjing’s last three silver needles!
“You shouldn’t have used these three needles this way!”
“It should be the Shanzhong acupoint, Zhongting acupoint, and Zigong acupoint!”
“Then, add the Tiantu, Huagai, Qihu, and Tianchi acupoints!”
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
As Su Chen spoke, he kept moving. He guided the silver needles into the right acupoints in turn.
Then, he gathered his qi and swept it across each silver needle.
In an instant, the end of the silver needle began trembling.
Zhou Wanqiu and the others didn’t understand what he was doing.
However, Sun Zhongjing started to tremble too.
“This… Could this be the Nine Extreme Life Restoring Needle of ancient medicine? It’s still the Vibrating Needle Technique!”
Sun Zhongjing was a doctor.
At this moment, he finally understood the gap between his and Su Chen’s expertise.
It was simply too vast!
As the silver needle trembled, a green light visible to the naked eye appeared at the point of the needle’s eye.
“Eighteen Ghostly Hands for stopping the king of the underworld!”
Su Chen formed a strange seal with his hands and pressed it onto Zhou Pingjiang’s chest.
“Ah!”
Everyone was shocked.
Puff!
Zhou Pingjiang spat out a mouthful of dark blood.
The nine silver needles on his body also instantly shot out.
A faint green liquid drained from his wounds.
“What are you doing?”
Zhou Wanqiu pushed Su Chen hard.
Su Chen had just consumed a large amount of energy. He barely noticed when she pushed him.
“Are you crazy?”
Su Chen also had a temper.
Zhou Wanqiu glared at him. “Why did you hit my dad?”
Su Chen was speechless.
“If I didn’t use the Eighteen Ghostly Hands technique, how would I get the poison out of your father’s system?”
This woman was indeed brainless!
At this moment…
They heard coughing.
Everyone turned around and saw that Zhou Pingjiang had woken up. He was even sitting up.
“Dad! Are you alright?”
Zhou Wanqiu was stunned.
She realized that she had misunderstood Su Chen.
Zhou Wanqiu turned to look at Su Chen with an awkward expression.
“I-I-I…”
Zhou Wanqiu wanted to apologize.
However, when she saw Su Chen’s half-smiling face, she could not say anything.
“What did you say about me? You’re stuttering? Do you need me to treat you?” Su Chen snapped.
“You’re the one stuttering! Your whole family is stuttering!”
The apologetic expression on Zhou Wanqiu’s face instantly turned into anger.
She didn’t know why, but the sight of Su Chen’s face made her angry.
Perhaps, from the moment she heard about her marriage, she had already started to dislike this “Su Chen”.
“Dad, are you feeling better?”
Zhou Wanqiu deliberately changed the topic by showing concern for Zhou Pingjiang.
Zhou Rongchang smiled as he walked to Su Chen’s side, his gaze filled with love.
“Good boy! Your medical skills make you incredibly worthy. Your grandfather should be proud!”
“Old Master Zhou, you flatter me!” Su Chen smiled and said politely.
Sun Zhongjing’s heart was in turmoil.
Flattery?
Nonsense!
“Nine Extreme Life Restoring Needle! Eighteen Ghostly Hands! These are long-lost medical techniques!”
“Who is this Su Chen?”
At this moment, Zhao Guirong and Zhou Wanqiu were helping Zhou Pingjiang up.
“Thank you, Su Chen!” Zhou Pingjiang realized what was happening and went forward to thank him.
“You’re too kind, Mr. Zhou,” Su Chen said with a smile.
For some reason, Su Chen felt that Zhou Pingjiang was keeping his distance from him.
“Wanqiu, give Su Chen one million yuan for his consultation!” Zhou Pingjiang said.
Su Chen was shocked.
A million?
So generous?
At this moment, Zhou Rongchang suddenly spoke.
“Why are you treating him like an outsider?”
“Su Chen will be Wanqiu’s husband from today onward.”
“He’s just treating his father-in-law. How can he charge a consultation fee?”
The room fell into silence.
Su Chen looked at Zhou Rongchang.
Old Master Zhou was being very nice to him!
Zhou Wanqiu’s expression changed drastically.
“Dad!” Zhou Pingjiang frowned. “Although Su Chen saved me, there’s no need to marry Wanqiu to him. Can’t we just pay him for the consultation?”
“Grandpa, perhaps Su Chen just happened to know about this technique,” Zhou Wanqiu said anxiously. “We don’t have any feelings for each other. How can we get married so rashly?”
Zhou Rongchang shook his head. “Back then, Su Chen’s grandpa saved me. We already agreed to this. Do you want me to go back on my word?”
“Besides, you don’t have to have feelings for each other. Your grandmother and I only met for the first time after our wedding, and it didn’t affect our relationship!”
“From tonight onwards, the two of you will live together and develop your relationship!”
Su Chen was shocked by Old Master Zhou’s words.
This old man was too quick!
Zhou Pingjiang and Zhou Wanqiu were even more stunned.
The father and daughter did not expect the old man to be so insistent.
Zhou Wanqiu was indignant. She wanted to say something, but Zhou Pingjiang’s gaze stopped her.
In the Zhou family, the old man’s words carried the most weight.
Zhao Guirong realized that it had become very awkward. She smiled to try and smooth things over. “I think Xiao Chen is great. He’s from the countryside. He’s honest and he’s clearly a good doctor.”
Su Chen smiled. “Thank you, Mrs. Zhao. You have a good eye.”
Zhou Wanqiu was so angry that her eyes widened. She didn’t know what to say.
Meanwhile…
When Sun Zhongjing saw this, envy rose in him.
He looked at Zhou Rongchang.
This old man was very observant!
Since Su Chen had practically brought Zhou Pingjiang back from the dead, there was no telling what he would achieve in the future.
He was taken in by Zhou Rongchang’s actions.
He reckoned that he would ask Zhou Wanqiu to tend to Su Chen’s every need.
Sun Zhongjing couldn’t help but feel a little regretful.
He sighed.
It was a pity that he did not have a beautiful granddaughter and that Su Chen could not join his family!
