chapter 3 Quacks are in power

"What are you trying to do, loser?"
Before Noah Jiang could rush forward, he was held back by a young man of similar age with a strong build.
He was named Freddie Ye, a professional Chinese Kickboxing champion, the eldest son of Uncle Oliver Ye. He pointed at Noah Jiang and angrily said, "Divine Doctor Lin is treating my grandfather. If you dare to interrupt, I'll deal with you right now."
However, Noah was urgent. Before Freddie could act, Noah acted first. With a gentle push, he knocked down the hefty 160 kg guy. Freddie ended up sitting on the ground, sliding a few meters and heavily hitting the wall with a muffled grunt.
"Freddie!"
Aunt Upala Zhang quickly rushed over and helped Freddie up.
Everyone present was furious. Uncle Oliver Ye pointed at the stunned Noah and exclaimed, "You dare to hit my son?"
"I'll fight you!"
Aunt Upala Zhang angrily charged at Noah, intending to scratch him. Freddie, also angry and feeling he had been caught off guard earlier, rose and threw a punch at Noah.
Noah, jolted to awareness, saw Freddie's incoming punch. His eyes glinted, and he firmly grasped Freddie's fist.
"You!"
Freddie's expression changed, but Noah ignored him, shaking off his fist and called out to Arthur Lin, who was about to administer an acupuncture treatment to Theo Ye, "You can't use the Qichi Needle on Grandfather Ye!"
"Heh, you know about the Qichi Needle? Seems you're not as mediocre as I thought. So, tell me, why can't I use the Qichi Needle?" Arthur Lin, already holding the silver needle, looked at Noah with disdain and laughed.
It seemed someone was willingly uplifting his reputation as a divine doctor. Why would he reject such an opportunity?
"My grandfather suffers from a serious ailment called liver accumulation. He looks pale as wax, is emaciated, has a swollen abdomen, and frequently suffers unbearable pain in his left rib. His condition is already critical.
Moreover, he had a sudden cerebral infarction, and there's a contusion at the back of his head. I know you want to use the Qichi Needle to relieve his pain and wake him up. But have you considered that the Qichi Needle might cause a sudden exacerbation of his illness?" Noah solemnly addressed Arthur Lin.
If Arthur Lin proceeded with the Qichi Needle, Theo Ye would definitely be in danger!
"Young man, I know you are the grandson of George Jiang."
Arthur Lin looked at Noah and shook his head with a cold laugh, "But unfortunately, you're not the renowned Doctor Jiang. Don't underestimate my Qichi Needle technique."
"You pathetic loser, why don't you just get out? With your poor medical skills, how can you compare with Divine Doctor Lin? You can't even prescribe the right medication. Do you want to endanger your grandfather now?" Junko Ye shoved Noah and pointed at his nose, berating him fiercely.
"Exactly! Divine Doctor Lin is a well-known figure in Yulin City's traditional medicine community. Look at yourself and know your place. Just get out, stop embarrassing yourself here."
"Get out, you worthless leech."
For a moment, Noah wanted to say something. But he saw Cindy Ye's cold gaze, who coldly said, "If you truly care for grandfather, leave now!"
"I..."
"What 'I'? Get out! You haven't settled the score for hitting me earlier."
Freddie quickly grabbed Noah by the collar and forcefully dragged him out of the emergency room.
Arthur Lin chuckled and began the Qichi Needle treatment on the old man.
Freddie pulled Noah out and roughly pushed him against the wall. Holding Noah's neck with his left forearm, he looked at him menacingly, "Noah, you were acting pretty bold just now, huh? What can you do besides leeching off women? Tsk, tsk. Look at that face of yours."
Freddie mockingly slapped Noah's expressionless, handsome face, "Such a pretty boy. How about this? Stop leeching off my cousin. I know many wealthy cougars. I can introduce you to a few, so you can give them acupuncture treatments, how's that?"
"Freddie, let me go. Grandfather's life is at risk. If Arthur Lin uses the Qichi Needle, grandfather could be in grave danger!" Noah glared at Freddie, anxiously speaking out.
"Who are you trying to scare? Do you think Divine Doctor Lin is a quack like you?"
Freddie Ye glanced at him, immediately raised his fist, and swung at Noah Jiang's face: "You dared to push me just now, I will let you know what a professional Chinese Kickboxing champion is."
Just as Freddie's sandbag-sized fist was about to reach him, only five centimetres away, Noah Jiang's eyes widened, and he raised his hand to grab Freddie's fist, exerting a slight force.
"Ah, you useless brat..."
Freddie Ye screamed, kneeling on one knee, his right hand almost broken by Noah Jiang's twist, causing him to howl in pain like a slaughtered pig.
Freddie Ye was shocked. The usually weak and incompetent Noah Jiang, who would be scared motionless by just a slight shout from him.
But now, this useless guy was so tough, as if he had changed into a different person.
He was a professional Chinese Kickboxing champion, but in front of Noah Jiang, he didn't even have the chance to resist. This made Freddie Ye feel ashamed and angry, and he shouted, "Bastard, let me go. If you have the guts, fight me fair and square."
"I don't have time to play with you."
Noah Jiang responded indifferently, flinging his hand, and Freddie Ye was thrown out again by his force, getting up angrily, wanting to rush forward again, but Noah Jiang turned his head and glared at him, coldly saying, "If anything happens to my grandfather, I won't spare you!"
Freddie Ye stopped abruptly, his fist hanging in mid-air, his expression stunned, looking at Noah Jiang's stern gaze, his heart was actually suppressed by this useless guy's eyes.
If the brothers and sisters inside knew that he was defeated by this useless guy, they would definitely be ridiculed.
"Oh, Divine Doctor Lin, what's going on? What happened to the old master?" Suddenly, there were panicked and anxious cries from the emergency room.
"Not good."
Noah Jiang's heart tightened, and he hurriedly pushed the door to enter.
Freddie Ye also reacted and quickly followed him in.
Upon entering, they saw Cindy and the others, all with faces full of panic, at a loss.
Looking at the bed, the old man who was shaking all over and vomiting blood, Noah Jiang's expression changed drastically, knowing that Arthur Lin's Qichi Needle completely triggered Theo Ye's severe illness.
"This is impossible, this cannot be."
Arthur Lin's face was full of panic, looking at Theo Ye's current condition, he was at a loss.
Obviously, he was hit by Noah Jiang's words; the Qichi Needle could indeed trigger the old master's sudden illness.
"Get out of the way."
Noah Jiang stepped forward, pulling Arthur Lin away harshly. His face was anxious, not caring about being angry. He immediately removed the silver needles from Theo Ye's body, then drew a new needle, disinfected it with his vital energy, his gaze solemn, focusing on the old man's Danzhong acupoint.
However, Noah Jiang, who had never administered needles before, couldn't help but feel nervous, but to save Grandpa Ye, he was ready to give it a go.
"Professor Zhao is here."
"What are you doing, Noah Jiang? Don't touch my dad."
Junko Ye stepped forward, pulling Noah Jiang, who was about to administer the needle to Theo Ye, away, allowing Professor Zhao and other doctors to come in.
Seeing Theo Ye's life hanging by a thread, Professor Zhao was shocked and angry: "Who allowed you to mess around? Do you want the old man to die sooner?"
"I..."
Junko Ye, Leo Zhang, Oliver Ye, Jack Ye, Cindy Ye, Freddie Ye, and others were scared and at a loss.
Especially Divine Doctor Lin, his face full of shock, still muttering, not believing that his Qichi Needle could cause the old master's sudden illness.
"Get out, all of you get out! Hurry, we need to start the rescue now."
Professor Zhao, furious, had the nurses and doctors quickly drive everyone out, including Noah Jiang. They were pushed out, and seeing his grandfather on the sickbed made Noah Jiang very anxious.
The emergency room light came on again, and Cindy and the others stood at the door, panicked and at a loss. If something really happened to the old master, none of them could shirk their responsibility.
Junko Ye was furious and immediately grabbed Arthur Lin, cursing: "You quack, if anything happens to my dad, our Ye family will never let you go."
"I... I didn't expect the Qichi Needle to trigger his severe illness..."
“Noah Jiang, didn’t expect this? Just now, weren’t you so confident that you could save the old master? And now you're saying you didn’t expect this?” Oliver Ye and Jack Ye grabbed Arthur Lin in anger and gave him a hard slap.
“Don’t let him escape. If something happens to grandfather, he must take responsibility.”
For a while, Arthur Lin was detained by Freddie Ye and others. Cindy, Leo Zhang, Junko Ye, and Oliver Ye stood outside the emergency room, anxiously waiting.
After a short while, the door to the emergency room opened.
Professor Zhao and his team came out with grim expressions. Cindy and the others rushed over and asked anxiously, “Professor Zhao, Professor Zhao, how is my grandfather?”
“You all, you all are really muddled. Initially, I had already secured an extra month for the old man, to give you time to prepare, but now...
The old man might not make it past tonight. You should go and prepare for the worst.” Professor Zhao, pointing at Cindy and Jack Ye, looked disappointed and finally sighed in resignation as he left.
“No, Professor Zhao, please, save the old master!”
“Dad, it's our fault.”
In an instant, Junko Ye was crying uncontrollably. Cindy turned pale and fainted. Leo Zhang quickly helped her up and took her outside.
“You quack! It’s all your fault my grandfather died. I’ll kill you!” Freddie Ye, in a fit of rage, landed a punch on Arthur Lin, knocking him to the ground.
“We can't let him get away. He must answer for the old master’s death.”
Oliver Ye, Jack Ye, and the others immediately chased after Arthur Lin to demand justice.
At the entrance of the emergency room, only Noah Jiang was left. Hearing what Professor Zhao had said, a mix of anger, sadness, and sorrow painted his face.
Suddenly, with a determined glint in his eyes, he pushed open the door and walked in. Looking at his grandfather lying on the bed, Noah Jiang gritted his teeth, “Grandfather Ye, I can’t just let you die like this!”
