Chapter Sixty: On-Site Observation

“Stop! Do you even know where you are? Is a hospital somewhere you can just cause trouble as you please? I brought my master here in hopes of saving the young lady’s life.”

“But look at yourselves—what are you doing? You’re obstructing my master from rescuing her. Your actions are no different from murder!”

“If you still want her to have a chance, clear the way immediately and let my master through. In this world, I fear only my master’s medical skills are strong enough to bring her back from the brink of death!”

Yuan Hongyu could not stand to see his master insulted, especially since Yan Yuanqing was the one he had invited. He stepped forward without hesitation.

His words immediately made those causing trouble pause.

Yet they still seemed unconvinced.

The leader snorted coldly. “Very well, I’ll give him one chance. If he fails, I see no reason for your hospital to continue existing!”

“Brother, hold your tongue for now. Our sister’s life is more important. If you say such things, what if they refuse to try?”

The man shot a fierce glare at his brother. “They wouldn’t dare!”

Yan Yuanqing’s expression remained serene and unperturbed, as if nothing happening here could disturb his composure.

Even after hearing the man’s disrespectful words, Yan Yuanqing showed not the slightest trace of anger. There was no deep enmity between them; it was simply that death had shaken the man’s mindset profoundly.

“No one is to enter without permission. If I am disturbed, everything could be lost. Yuan Hongyu, come in with me. If this girl can be saved, witnessing it firsthand will be greatly beneficial for you.”

At Yan Yuanqing’s request, Yuan Hongyu was overjoyed.

Of course he wanted to see Yan Yuanqing use the Supreme Needle Technique to heal and save lives, and perhaps witness other methods yet unrevealed. To observe any of these techniques up close was a blessing accumulated in a previous life for any doctor.

It was possible that he alone in the world would witness the Supreme Needle Technique—a method lost since ancient times!

In this restless age, few were willing to study ancient texts, to patiently accumulate knowledge and skill until finally mastering the Supreme Needle Technique.

Yan Yuanqing led Yuan Hongyu into the ward, where a body was already covered with a white sheet.

Yuan Hongyu quickly approached and lifted the sheet, revealing an extraordinarily pale face, drained of all color, before the two.

She looked to be no more than twenty, and was most likely the younger sister of the man outside—which explained his irrational behavior.

Perhaps he was overly protective, and to suffer such a blow without breaking down was already remarkable.

“You said that when the patient arrived, she was already unconscious, in shock, and when you were about to start treatment, you realized she was gone?”

Yan Yuanqing confirmed the situation one last time.

Yuan Hongyu nodded hurriedly. “Yes, Master. According to the time of death we determined, it must have happened on the way here, or at the latest, just as we arrived at the hospital—her heart had already stopped.”

“We rushed her here so quickly that someone probably forgot to check the monitors. So we kept thinking she was alive.”

“It’s such a pity. I heard she’d just started her freshman year at a top university. If she’s lost like this…”

Sorrow flickered in Yuan Hongyu’s eyes.

As a doctor, to watch a patient die before your eyes and be powerless to help is the greatest torment for both heart and spirit.
