chapter 2 Rebde Clinic Shen Detang

Kangbo Hospital, a high-end private hospital in Yulin City, was equipped with the most advanced medical equipment from abroad. Not every ordinary person could afford treatment here. Outside the emergency room of the hospital, a group of people gathered, their faces filled with anxiety, waiting anxiously. Just a moment ago, Theo Ye, the chairman of Ye Group, suffered a sudden stroke and collapsed at home. He was now being rescued inside the emergency room. The people gathered outside were members of the Ye Family. "How could the old master suddenly suffer a stroke and fall?" The one speaking was a well-dressed woman in her forties, she was Junko Ye, Noah Jiang's mother-in-law. Next to her stood a slender middle-aged man with a refined appearance. His name was Leo Zhang, Cindy's father. Interestingly, Leo Zhang was also a son-in-law who had married into his wife's family. "Dad, Mom, how's grandpa doing?" Cindy Ye rushed over and quickly asked. Seeing the light on in the emergency room, she felt nervous and worried, knowing her grandpa had always been plagued with serious illness. "He's still being resuscitated. We don't know if the old master can make it this time," a middle-aged man sighed and said. Hearing this, Cindy Ye's heart sank. She coldly glared at the middle-aged man and said, "Uncle, didn't I tell you to look after grandpa more frequently? Why did he suddenly suffer a stroke?" "Cindy Ye, what do you mean by that? Are you blaming me for not taking care of your grandfather?" Oliver Ye glared angrily at Cindy Ye and said coldly, "Your grandpa's health has always been poor. We didn't want to see this happen either." "That's right. You always say you care about your grandpa, but we rarely see you visiting him." Upala Zhang, Cindy's aunt, shot Cindy a look. They didn't want to bear this responsibility. "I..." "Enough, Cindy. Don't say anything. Your grandpa is still being rescued inside. This is a hospital; don't disturb the doctors," Leo Zhang quickly intervened, pulling his daughter away, knowing how much she cared about her grandfather. "That useless guy, why is he here?" Junko Ye spotted Noah Jiang entering and scoffed, "Wasn't he said to be hit by a car? Why didn't it kill him? It would have been much easier." Noah's presence instantly drew the attention of all the Ye family members present. They looked at him with disdain, ridicule, and indifference, as if they were looking at a pitiful, laughable dog. Facing all the sarcasm and ridicule from the Ye relatives, Noah Jiang remained extraordinarily calm. Perhaps he had long grown accustomed to their ugly faces. Especially his mother-in-law's sharp and caustic demeanour. He couldn't even bother to greet her and asked his father-in-law Leo Zhang, "Dad, how's grandpa?" "He's still in the process of being rescued." Perhaps because they were both sons-in-law who married into their wives' families, Leo Zhang was more accepting of Noah Jiang, having experienced the hardships of such a position himself. Noah Jiang nodded, disregarding the Ye relatives around him, and planned to sit on a side chair to wait. But then, the door to the emergency room opened, and several doctors and nurses came out. Cindy and others immediately approached and anxiously asked one of the middle-aged doctors, "Professor Zhao, how's my grandpa?" "The old man suddenly had a stroke and took a heavy fall. Combined with his pre-existing health conditions, even though I've stabilized his condition, I..." "What do you mean? Professor Zhao, just spit it out." "Sigh, you all should be prepared. I've managed to buy him a month's time." Seeing Professor Zhao's shaking head, Cindy Ye's face turned pale, she staggered and sat down, her hands trembling. "It's impossible. How could my father be in critical condition? Professor Zhao, please think of a way. You must save my dad," Junko Ye and Oliver Ye pleaded with Professor Zhao. Even Noah Jiang, standing outside, felt anxious when he heard the old master had only a month left. He quickly tried to enter the emergency room. "Worthless man, what are you doing? Get out!" Before Noah Jiang could enter, he was pulled out by Junko Ye. Noah Jiang glared and said, "I can save grandpa." "With just your abilities?" Junko Ye and others pointed at him, scolding loudly, "You, just a little Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor, do you really think you can be better than Professor Zhao? Also, the last time you prescribed the wrong medication, someone almost died! Do you want him to die sooner by letting you treat him?" "You all stop arguing. I've already invited the divine doctor Arthur Lin from Rebde Clinic," a middle-aged man said as he led an elderly man in. He was Jack Ye, Cindy Ye's third uncle. The doctor he invited was Arthur Lin, the founder of Rebde Clinic in Yulin City's Traditional Chinese Medicine community. He was commonly referred to as the "Divine Doctor Lin" by the outside world. "Third brother is really reliable, even managing to invite the divine doctor," Oliver Ye exclaimed with joy upon seeing this. Noah Jiang paused, looking at the thin, divine-looking figure of Arthur Lin. How could he not recognize this famous doctor from Rebde Clinic? In the Traditional Chinese Medicine community of Yulin City, Arthur Lin was a well-known practitioner. Compared to him, Noah Jiang seemed somewhat insignificant. "Get out of the way, you useless person. Come in, Divine Doctor Lin," Jack Ye pushed Noah Jiang aside, and with a respectful expression, invited Arthur Lin inside. Arthur Lin, with an air of arrogance, glanced disdainfully at Noah Jiang and briskly walked into the emergency room. Cindy Ye, Junko Ye, Leo Zhang, and other family members quickly followed him inside. On the bed lay an elderly man, around seventy years old, with white hair and a peaceful face. However, his complexion was waxen yellow, now extremely pale, wearing an oxygen mask, and in a coma. As everyone came in, calling out "Dad" and "Grandpa", Noah Jiang also followed, looking at his grandfather, Theo Ye. Among the entire Ye Family, only this old man treated him kindly. Seeing his frail and critically ill state, Noah Jiang felt a pang in his heart. "Everyone, please quiet down. Let me take a look," Arthur Lin approached. Jack Ye moved a stool for Arthur Lin to sit by the bed. He immediately signaled for everyone to remain silent, so as not to disturb the doctor's examination. The solid reputation of Rebde Clinic in Yulin City's Traditional Chinese Medicine community signified that Arthur Lin was indeed skilled. Traditional Chinese Medicine emphasizes inspection, listening, inquiry, and palpation. He looked at Theo Ye for a few moments, then placed his fingers on the old man's wrist to take his pulse, with Cindy Ye and the others closely watching. "The pulse feels faint, like a shrimp swimming in water. When Master Ye was young, he suffered from a severe disease that caused necrosis of his bones, related to his liver and kidneys. The kidney is the foundation of one's congenital essence, governing bones and producing marrow, while the liver governs the tendons and stores blood," Arthur Lin said with a solemn expression, detailing the old man's condition. Cindy Ye, Leo Zhang, Oliver Ye, and the others listened carefully. They didn't understand the intricacies of Traditional Chinese Medicine, but seeing the grave expression on Divine Doctor Lin's face made them even more worried. After checking the pulse, Arthur Lin turned to Cindy Ye, Jack Ye, and the others, sighing, "Master Ye had a sudden brain blockage due to an attack of heart fire this time. With his other severe ailments, I'm afraid he may not last more than a month." "What? Divine Doctor Lin, does that mean even you can't help?" Hearing his words, Cindy Ye and the others became anxious, fearful, and distressed. "Divine Doctor Lin, I know your consultation fee is one million. I'll double it. You must save our old master," Jack Ye pleaded, grabbing Arthur Lin's arm. Others around them also began offering more money. Hearing the word "money", a gleam appeared in Arthur Lin's eyes. "Hehe, everyone, don't panic." Arthur Lin turned back, pressed his hand down to Cindy Ye and the others behind him, immediately opened his medical box, and while smiling, said, "Although the old master of the Ye Family is seriously ill, luckily you invited me in time. Otherwise, his hopes of survival would have been little. Don't worry, I will give him a few injections now to stabilize his condition. As for his serious leg illness, I will prescribe medicine for him to gradually adjust in the future. Within a month, he should be able to recover." "Good, good, good, Doctor Lin, as long as you can save the old master, money is not an issue," Junko Ye and Jack Ye said excitedly. They were eager now, hoping to prolong the old master's life and let him live a few more years. However, Noah Jiang, who was standing on the side and silently paying attention, saw Arthur Lin take out three silver needles and aimed them at the acupoints on his grandfather (Sky Spirit and Divine Sun acupoints etc.) lying in the sickbed. "Qichi Needle!" Seeing Arthur Lin's technique, Noah Jiang murmured to himself, and suddenly his expression changed. He rushed forward to stop him, "You can't use the Qichi Needle on grandfather!"
