Soon, the two arrived at the center of the incident. They saw a white-haired old man lying on the ground, looking about sixty years old, extremely emaciated. His features, in particular, resembled those of a skull, giving one the feeling of seeing a ghost in the middle of the night.
At this moment, his eyes were tightly closed, his body curled up, and he was trembling slightly. A girl with a delicate face, wearing a shirt from Jìfánxī, was anxiously squatting beside him. The woman was using her phone to call an ambulance, shouting the address and urging them to hurry and rescue the person.
Then, she called out to the surrounding onlookers: "Is there a doctor here? Can anyone help my grandfather with first aid?" The old man's face was slowly turning dark, and the rise and fall of his chest was weakening.
Anyone could see that the situation was not optimistic; the person might die before the ambulance arrived. The crowd heard the girl's cries, and instinctively stopped filming with their phones, their eyes scanning the crowd for medical personnel. A few people hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not come forward to help.
In this day and age, it's better to be safe than sorry. "Mmm—" Suddenly, the old man hugged his shoulders, shivering, his expression becoming increasingly pained. The girl in the Jìfánxī shirt grew even more anxious, looking around the crowd and shouting: "Who can help my grandfather?
I'll give him a hundred thousand, no, a million." The crowd gasped; this girl was truly wealthy and generous. "I'll go take a look!"
Seeing the old man's critical condition, Yè Fán prepared to step forward. Táng Ruòxuě quickly grabbed him: "What are you going to do? Do you want that million?"
Yè Fán whispered, "No, I want to save him." Táng Ruòxuě scolded him irritably, "You just watched a few health programs and luckily saved Xīxi, now you really think you're a divine doctor." Yè Fán explained, "No, Ruòxuě, the patient is in a bad way, I want to see if I can help..."
"What can you help with? Luck won't favor you every time." Táng Ruòxuě held Yè Fán back, "Besides, look at the patient's clothes; they're either rich or noble.
Treating someone like this, if you succeed, the reward will be great, but if you make a mistake, it won't be as simple as being sorry. You might even lose your life. That's why I don't want you to get involved in this mess."
Táng Ruòxuě had finally changed her opinion of Yè Fán, and she hoped he would live a down-to-earth life. Only then would they have a chance to be together. "Ruòxuě, don't worry, I won't reckless ly try to save anyone."
Yè Fán knew what she was worried about, "I'll just go and take a look." Táng Ruòxuě's pretty face turned icy, "You're not allowed to go." If Yè Fán were a proper doctor, Táng Ruòxuě wouldn't have stopped him like this.
But Yè Fán had only taken a few Chinese medicine courses and hadn't even obtained a practicing license. It was too risky for him to join the fray. He could easily be accused of murder.
At this moment, the old man groaned in pain, and the girl in the Jìfánxī shirt, tears streaming down her face, cried, "Is there any doctor?" "Ruòxuě, I'll explain later, I have to save him now." Yè Fán broke free from Táng Ruòxuě's grasp and pushed through the crowd, shouting, "I'll take a look."
Táng Ruòxuě stamped her feet in anger, "Yè Fán..." Chapter 32 Divine Doctor? Bah!
"Are you a doctor? Quickly check on my grandfather." The girl in the Jìfánxī shirt grasped Yè Fán like a drowning man reaching for a straw, pulling him down, "If I save my grandfather, I'll give you a million."
Yè Fán examined the old man up close. In just a short while, the old man's eyes were bleeding, his throat was swollen, and his mouth was cracked. Yè Fán wasted no time and reached out to hold the old man's wrist.
The Jade of Life and Death rotated. Status: Poison spreading, visceral failure... The old man's condition was instantly clear to him.
Although Yè Fán already had two white light spots, enough to wake the old man instantly, he was reluctant to use them. He wanted to use his medical skills to save people and accumulate more white light spots. He took out his portable needle box, selected three silver needles, disinfected them quickly, and then inserted them into the unconscious old man.
"Tai Chi Divine Needles," the sixth move, Four Symbols Detoxification. His technique was not perfectly skilled, but the needle insertion was not slow. With a flick of his wrist, the silver needles slid into place one after another.
Xiaohai, Quyuan, and Chize points instantly trembled. Three needles locked the poison. The old man grunted, his pained expression pausing.
The bloodshot eyes and swelling receded. Yè Fán didn't stop, picking up the fourth, fifth, and sixth needles. Just then, the crowd buzzed again.
Hán Fù and Hán Mǔ, who happened to be passing by, squeezed their way in to see what was happening. Hán Fù saw Yè Fán treating the patient and instinctively exclaimed, "Eh, the good-for-nothing knows medicine?" Hán Mǔ had been severely humiliated by Yè Fán tonight, and their family's faces had been thoroughly slapped by him, so she harbored deep hatred for Yè Fán.
She sneered sarcastically, "If he knows medicine, pigs can climb trees. He's definitely just showing off. Kid, be careful, don't kill the person, or you'll go to jail."
Yè Fán ignored the Hán couple and calmly inserted three more needles. The quchi, hegu, and neiting points trembled. Three needles gathered the poison.
The toxins spreading throughout the old man's body converged in his abdomen like a tide. Hearing Hán Fù and Hán Mǔ's words, the girl in the Jìfánxī shirt was startled and asked Yè Fán, "You're not a doctor?" "He's a doctor?
Then I'm Hua Tuo!" Before Yè Fán could respond, Hán Mǔ looked at him with disdain and snorted, "His name is Yè Fán, the live-in son-in-law of the Tang Family. He's unemployed and lives off his wife.
Do you think any hospital would hire him?" She incited discord, "If you let him mess around like this, be careful your grandfather's illness doesn't become fatal..." Táng Ruòxuě, who had just squeezed her way in, frowned, "Auntie, mind your words."
Although Táng Ruòxuě also thought Yè Fán's medical skills were unreliable, seeing him so selflessly trying to save someone, she temporarily suppressed her resentment. "I'm doing it for his own good." "Reminding him not to think he's invincible and knows everything just because he knows a few people."
Hán Mǔ stared at Yè Fán, speaking sarcastically, "If he causes a death, even an immortal can't save him." "What? You're not a doctor?"
The girl in the Jìfánxī shirt's face changed drastically. She pulled Yè Fán aside and shouted, "If you're not a doctor, why did you touch my grandfather?" At the same moment, the old man's body convulsed violently, he coughed, and his chest heaved.
Hán Mǔ shouted gleefully, "He's dying, he's dying..." "Shut up! Grandpa, what's wrong?"
The girl in the Jìfánxī shirt held the old man and shouted, "Doctor, is there a doctor?" Yè Fán almost fell but steadied himself and said, "He's three needles short. If I insert three more, he'll be halfway to recovery."
"Get lost." The girl in the Jìfánxī shirt was furious, "I'm telling you, I'd better hope my grandfather is fine. If anything happens, I won't let you off the hook."
Hán Mǔ added fuel to the fire, "Call the police and arrest him. I can testify that he practiced medicine without a license." If Yè Fán were arrested and imprisoned, she could finally sleep soundly.
Táng Ruòxuě ran up and pulled Yè Fán aside, "Yè Fán, forget it, don't make more trouble." "No, no, he's three needles short, otherwise he'll be in danger." Yè Fán broke free from Táng Ruòxuě.
Then, his body flickered, avoiding the girl in the Jìfánxī shirt's grasp, and three needles were swiftly inserted into the old man's body. Rivers rolled, dark waves surged, forcing the dragon out of its abyss... As Yè Fán was about to insert the last needle, the girl in the Jìfánxī shirt rushed over and knocked the silver needle away.
"Bastard!" she roared, "What are you doing? Are you trying to kill my grandfather?"
Just as she finished speaking, the old man's stomach rumbled, and his body straightened up, his head lifting. The next second, he vomited a large amount of food. After vomiting, the old man recovered.
His face was no longer dark, and his breathing became smooth. However, Yè Fán's expression remained serious. The toxins had been neutralized, but the source of the poison had not been expelled.
The danger was not yet removed. "Get away." The girl in the Jìfánxī shirt shoved Yè Fán away, pointing at his nose and scolding him, "I'm telling you, if my grandfather has any problems, I won't let you go."
Yè Fán frowned slightly. Not only was this woman ungrateful, but her attitude was also so hostile. Táng Ruòxuě pulled Yè Fán back a few meters.
"Wooo—" Just then, an ambulance arrived, and several medical personnel rushed over. They quickly examined the old man and promptly diagnosed him with heatstroke. After some oxygen therapy, the old man slowly opened his eyes, let out a long sigh, and his vital signs gradually returned to normal.
It was clear to everyone that the immediate danger had passed. "Doctor, thank you, thank you." Seeing the old man's condition improve, the girl in the Jìfánxī shirt was extremely grateful to the medical staff, "Thank goodness you arrived in time, otherwise my grandfather would have been in trouble.
I will heavily reward you." The medical staff waved their hands, then placed the old man on a stretcher, preparing to take him to the hospital for further examination. Yè Fán quickly called out to the girl in the Jìfánxī shirt, "Miss, your grandfather was poisoned.
He's still one needle short of completely removing the source of the poison, otherwise..." "Poisoned?" The girl in the Jìfánxī shirt was furious, "You liar!
You poked my grandfather with needles randomly, I'll beat you to death." She had eaten with her grandfather, and she was fine. What kind of poison was her grandfather afflicted with?
The girl slapped Yè Fán. "Slap—" Before the slap could land, Táng Ruòxuě grabbed her wrist. "Miss, Yè Fán was just trying to help."
"At that time, no one stepped forward to help, and he went to help you. If you're not grateful, there's no need to hit someone." "If anything happens to your grandfather, you are welcome to call the police."
"Hitting people won't solve the problem." Halfway through, she changed her tone, exuding an irresistible aura, "Besides, who do you think you are? How dare you hit my husband?"
"I can look down on him, but that doesn't mean a stranger like you can bully him." Táng Ruòxuě was more assertive than ever, "If your grandfather has any issues because of Yè Fán, we will take full responsibility. At worst, we'll pay with two lives for one."
She was like a tigress protecting her cubs, which surprised Yè Fán slightly. This was the first time Táng Ruòxuě had openly defended him. The girl in the Jìfánxī shirt was also taken aback by Táng Ruòxuě's assertiveness, then angrily broke free from her wrist, "You just hope my grandfather is fine, otherwise I'll make you all pay with your lives."
She quickly walked towards the ambulance not far away. Hán Fù and Hán Mǔ watched Yè Fán with schadenfreude. Táng Ruòxuě turned and kicked Yè Fán, "I told you not to meddle in other people's business!"
Yè Fán rubbed his calf, feeling the pain, but his heart bloomed with joy... He felt the woman's concern... Hán Mǔ looked at Yè Fán triumphantly, "Good-for-nothing, pretending to be a god, you ran into a brick wall, didn't you?"
Hán Fù also sneered disdainfully, "Divine doctor? Bah!" "Uncle, you had kidney disease when you were young, and you didn't treat it properly, which led to poor kidney function."
Yè Fán narrowed his eyes, "You frequently go to the toilet at night." Hán Fù was shocked, "You... how did you know?"
Yè Fán ignored him and continued, "Your liver is not good, you have a fiery temper, you get angry from time to time, and you have severe fatty liver." Hán Fù looked at Yè Fán in disbelief. Yè Fán didn't stop, looking at Hán Mǔ, who was watching with malicious glee, "Auntie, you haven't been feeling well recently, have you?"
Hán Mǔ's eyelids twitched, "What does it have to do with you?" "If I'm not mistaken, in the past half month, you've had fever, headache, and joint pain." Yè Fán finished his diagnosis in one breath, "You have a rash in some places, don't you?"
Hán Mǔ's expression changed, "How is this possible... How could you possibly know?" Yè Fán said calmly, "This illness is not difficult to treat, but it needs timely treatment, otherwise it will harm yourself and others."
Hán Fù instinctively asked, "What illness is this?" "In ancient times, it was called 'flower and willow disease,' and now it's called 'Plum Blossom disease.'" Yè Fán smiled and walked away after saying this...
Hán Mǔ was so terrified she almost lost her soul, "You—" "Slap—" Before she could react, Hán Fù had already slapped her across the face... Chapter 33 What Do You Want? It was eleven o'clock at night when Yè Fán and Táng Ruòxuě returned to the Tang family home.
Táng Sānguó and Lín Qiūlíng were already asleep, so the couple moved quietly. Although Yè Fán was still thinking about the old man's condition, since the girl in the Jìfánxī shirt treated him as a charlatan, he could only put it aside for now. Perhaps because the root cause was not cured, Yè Fán found that his white light spots had not increased, still only two.
Yè Fán took the last shower, blew dry his hair, washed his clothes, and then pushed open the bedroom door. He found that Táng Ruòxuě was still awake, with the desk lamp on, on a video call. Snuggled up in bed, Táng Ruòxuě was dressed casually.
A white silk slip dress lay loosely on her body, like flowing water, exceptionally smooth and soft. Most of her fair skin was exposed, and faintly, the black lace edge on the outer side of her thigh could be seen. As soon as she saw Yè Fán enter, she pulled the quilt up, covering all her alluring curves.
On the other end of the video call was a woman with a melon-seed face, sitting with her legs crossed on the sofa. Her legs were snow-white, outlining mouth-watering curves. Yè Fán recognized her; she was Táng Ruòxuě's distant cousin, Zhào Xiǎoyuè, who had always looked down on him.
"Yo, Ruòxuě, you've recovered, why haven't you divorced that useless guy yet?" Zhào Xiǎoyuè caught sight of Yè Fán, "And you're still letting him stay in the same bedroom as you?" Táng Ruòxuě glanced at Yè Fán, "He's my legal husband.
If he doesn't sleep in my room, where else would he sleep?" "Oh, I remember you said he slept under the bed." Zhào Xiǎoyuè tilted her chin up, "But having an unmarried man and woman in the same room still has a very bad influence."
"It's best not to let my brother know about this, or he'll be unhappy." She reminded Táng Ruòxuě. Yè Fán frowned slightly.
He knew Zhào Xiǎoyuè's brother, Zhào Dōngyáng, was a well-known second-generation rich heir in Zhonghai. He had been a fervent admirer of Táng Ruòxuě, repeatedly proclaiming his willingness to live and die for her in public. But upon hearing that Táng Ruòxuě was seriously ill, he quickly went abroad, seemingly afraid that the Tang family would make him a live-in son-in-law to ward off bad luck.
Zhào Xiǎoyuè had also cut off contact with Táng Ruòxuě for half a year and had only recently reconnected through unknown means. "I have nothing to do with your brother, so why should I care if he's happy or not?" Táng Ruòxuě stretched lazily, "Xiǎoyuè, you shouldn't try to force people together."
"That won't do. The moment I met you, I regarded you as my sister-in-law." Zhào Xiǎoyuè seemed to be showing off to Yè Fán, "Besides my eldest brother, no one is qualified to have you."
"A year ago, if he hadn't gone abroad temporarily to handle some business, you would have already been my sister-in-law. How could that useless guy have touched you?" "Ruòxuě, when are you going to divorce that good-for-nothing?"
Zhào Xiǎoyuè added, "My brother will be back in the next couple of days, and he'll definitely pursue you madly again." "Having Yè Fán, that piece of trash, around will interfere with your private time with my brother." "Divorce?"
Táng Ruòxuě glanced at Yè Fán, a hint of defiance in her voice, "We'll see." Yè Fán gave a wry smile, knowing the woman was still angry. Zhào Xiǎoyuè's pretty face showed displeasure, "What do you mean 'we'll see'?
You must divorce him. How else can you marry my brother? How else can you enter my Zhao family?"
Táng Ruòxuě frowned, "Xiǎoyuè, there's really no future between me and your brother." "My brother is so outstanding, with a swarm of women wanting to marry him. Because you're my best friend, I'm keeping my brother for you."
Zhào Xiǎoyuè raised her chin, "Don't put on airs." Táng Ruòxuě leaned back on the pillow, "Let's not talk about it anymore. I have a meeting tomorrow, so I'm going to sleep."
"All right, good night." Zhào Xiǎoyuè said half-jokingly, half-seriously, "But you have to be virtuous and not let Yè Fán take advantage. My brother will want to verify your virginity on your wedding night."
"If there's a problem then, I can't protect you and Yè Fán." Táng Ruòxuě frowned and ended the video call. Yè Fán finished blow-drying his hair, took out his bedding, and lay down silently.
He wasn't very good at coaxing girls. Táng Ruòxuě unconsciously clenched her fists. This jerk almost caused a major disaster tonight.
Doesn't he need to say anything to me? Thinking of Yè Fán ignoring her advice and getting scolded by the girl in the Jìfánxī shirt, she felt an inexplicable rage. Táng Ruòxuě tried to tell herself not to care about Yè Fán, but the anger in her heart kept bubbling up, making her very restless.
She pulled open the door to the inner room and rushed out, "Yè Fán, I need to set three rules for you." Yè Fán sat up, "You say them." Táng Ruòxuě raised her pretty face, "First, starting today, be more ambitious.
Don't always be treated as useless." Yè Fán's eyes softened, "Okay." "Second, put away your superficial medical skills.
Don't harm yourself and others." Táng Ruòxuě snorted, "I know you're kind-hearted. Seeing patients reminds you of your mother, and you empathize, wanting to treat them."
"But you can't force yourself. That will harm others and also bring trouble upon yourself." She stared at Yè Fán coldly, "Promise me you won't practice medicine recklessly in the future."
Yè Fán nodded, "Okay, I promise." He had prescribed the right medicine, so it wasn't reckless at all. Táng Ruòxuě breathed a sigh of relief, "Third, find a proper job as soon as possible.
I don't ask for a high salary, just something legitimate for you to do." Yè Fán hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded, "Fine." "This is what you promised yourself."
Táng Ruòxuě's pretty face showed a hint of gentleness, "If I find out you break your promise, I'll go to your mother and complain." She curled her lips, "Do you have any objections?" For the past year, Yè Fán had only brought her shame and disappointment.
To have finally seen hope in the past few days, Táng Ruòxuě didn't want Yè Fán to lose it by seeking attention. Living a grounded life was what Yè Fán should do. For this reason, she had also avoided mentioning the matter of Yunding Villa, lest it stimulate Yè Fán's pride and cause trouble.
"What if I do as you ask?" Yè Fán rubbed his head and asked with a smile, "What reward will there be?" Táng Ruòxuě pondered for a moment, her pretty face blushing slightly, "What do you want?"
Yè Fán's blood boiled instantly, "I want to sleep with you..." "Beast! Beast!
Beast!" Táng Ruòxuě scolded him a few times, then slammed the door and went to sleep. Such a beast!
I wanted you to be ambitious, but you want to sleep with me. How shameless! Táng Ruòxuě gritted her teeth, wishing she could dismember Yè Fán, but found that she no longer had the disgust she used to feel...
"I just wanted to sleep in the inner room..." Yè Fán yawned and lay down. Today was worth celebrating; their relationship had undergone a qualitative change...
