In an antique room, Qin Luo met the lady in need of treatment.
Chen Zilin's seven orifices were still bleeding, not much blood, but it never stopped.
Two young maidservants beside her kept using handkerchiefs soaked in warm water to help wipe away the blood, but no matter how they wiped, it wouldn't end.
Qin Luo gestured for the two maidservants to step back.
This was pointless.
Doctor Qin Luo took a few drops of fresh blood from her nasal cavity and placed it into the intelligent diagnostic instrument he had just brought in.
Three seconds later, the instrument made a crisp 'ding' sound.
Qin Luo took the printed test report from the instrument, examined it carefully, and murmured to himself: "Strange, it really is strange..."
Shi Hongyun, who had been urgently waiting by the side, hurriedly asked upon hearing Qin Luo: "Doctor Qin, is something wrong? Is Zilin alright?"
"Madam is suffering from poisoning symptoms." Qin Luo spoke up.
"Poisoning? What kind of poison?" Shi Hongyun also suspected his wife had been poisoned, otherwise why would she be bleeding incessantly?
But who would poison her?
What sort of deep-seated hatred... could they not target someone else?
"That's the strange part." Qin Luo held Chen Zilin's pulse and said: "Madam's symptoms are of poisoning, yet the report didn't detect any toxins..."
"Couldn't find toxins? Could it be the instrument isn't up to par?"
Shi Hongyun couldn't say Qin Luo's medical skills were lacking; if he couldn't solve it, there was no better doctor in Phoenix City.
So, he could only suspect a problem with the diagnostic instrument....
See, the name of a person and the shadow of a tree.
They were more willing to believe the instrument wasn't functioning rather than suspect the doctor's skills.
"Could it be that the instrument lacks comprehensiveness? Some rare viruses can't be detected?" Zhang Pan also chimed in from the side.
"We can't rule out that possibility." Qin Luo spoke up: "The world is vast and full of wonders. Some viruses we've never heard of are conceivable..."
"But without being able to determine the type of toxin, we can't concoct a corresponding antidote."
Shi Hongyun was in a panic and asked: "Then what should we do?"
"We'll have to try the most primitive method." Qin Luo responded.
"What method?"
"Get my medical kit."
"Here it is." The assistant, hearing Qin Luo say to use the most primitive method, had already squeezed through the crowd with the medical kit on his back.
There was no choice, there were too many people in the room.
Qin Luo looked around and said: "The patient needs a quiet environment, anyone unrelated please leave."
Shi Hongyun agreed with Qin Luo's reasoning and immediately said: "Alright, alright... everyone go out and wait, I'll inform you as soon as there's any news."
Then, more than half of the people in the room left at once.
Shi Hongyun also persuaded Chen Zilin's parents and friends to leave, and seeing Zhang Pan still standing there, he urged: "Dean Zhang, please leave too? Doctor Qin Luo needs to treat my wife... it might be inconvenient."
"Oh yes, I'll go out now... I was thinking of seeing if I could offer any help..."
Zhang Pan said as he left the room as well.
No choice, if you're under someone's roof, you have to lower your head.
The dean of the Imperial Maritime Hospital was highly ranked, but in front of the Shi Family, one of the Nine Great Families, he was somewhat lacking.
Now, only Qin Luo, Shi Hongyun, the assistant, and Chen Zilin with her two close maidservants were left in the room...
With two young ladies assisting, some tasks became easier.
The space suddenly felt much larger, and the air became a bit fresher.
Qin Luo took out a box of silver needles from the medical kit and explained: "The 'Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles' have the power to expel evil and purge toxins... I will use acupuncture to discharge the toxins from madam's body..."
As he spoke, he was already holding a three-inch silver needle and pierced it into Chen Zilin's forehead.
With three lifts and three presses, a faint silver glow trickled and seeped into the muscle.
Soon, a layer of black mist emanated from the silver needle.
"It's coming out, it's coming out..."
Shi Hongyun exclaimed excitedly.
"Mr. Shi, please remain quiet and do not disturb Doctor Qin's acupuncture." The assistant reminded from the side.
"Yes, yes, yes, sorry..." Shi Hongyun immediately apologized.
In front of the patient, the doctor is the true 'God'.
A doctor's assistant at least ranks as a Blazing Angel.
Even a prominent figure like Shi Hongyun had to admit fault when corrected by the assistant.
In an extremely quiet environment, Qin Luo administered a total of eleven silver needles of varying lengths.
Puncturing Chen Zilin's face and head densely, every silver needle had a substantial amount of black mist emitting from it.
The black mist became thicker and eventually condensed into black water.
Once the black water on the silver needle turned white and no more black mist was discharged from Chen Zilin's body, Qin Luo began to slowly retract the needles.
All eleven silver needles were placed back in the needle box, with the assistant disinfecting and organizing them.
Qin Luo was sweating profusely from his forehead, the treatment having exhausted him mentally.
Shi Hongyun approached and softly asked: "Doctor Qin, is my wife... alright now?"
Tang Fei shook his head and said: "I can only temporarily expel the toxins from her body; whether new toxins will regenerate... requires continued observation."
"Furthermore, one acupuncture session is not sufficient, she needs two more continuous sessions for reinforcement... however, her bleeding symptoms have stopped."
Shi Hongyun closely examined and saw his wife was indeed no longer bleeding, and excitedly said: "Indeed, Doctor Qin is a miracle worker, cures with a single touch..."
"Doctor Qin, you are our family's lifesaver, there will be future rewards."
Tang Fei waved his hand and said: "Saving lives and healing is the duty of us doctors. Mr. Shi, no need to be polite."
"How could I not? This kindness will be remembered by the Shi Family. Doctor Qin has worked hard, would you like to have a cup of tea?"
"No need. There's nothing else here, I will leave first."
"I will have someone take you back."
"No, no... I plan to return with Dean Zhang."
"Alright... tomorrow I'll send someone to pick up Doctor Qin."
Qin Luo hesitated slightly, then nodded and said: "Alright..."
He wasn't sure if Zhang Pan would come tomorrow or not, having someone from the Shi Family lead the way could avoid a lot of trouble.
He could foresee that Moon Island wasn't a place anyone could just come and go freely.
Upon leaving the room, Shi Hongyun announced Chen Zilin's condition had stabilized, everyone rejoiced and came forward to praise Qin Luo's outstanding medical skills.
Who wouldn't want to befriend a renowned doctor?
Shi Hongyun finally found the mood to thank Zhang Pan, shaking his hand and saying: "Dean Zhang, thank you so much for bringing Doctor Qin Luo."
"Mr. Shi is too kind, it's only our duty as healthcare workers. We just did our part... if you need anything in the future, Mr. Shi, please just ask."
"Certainly, certainly. Let me have Dean Zhang's phone number for direct contact..."
Once the pleasantries concluded, Shi Hongyun personally escorted Qin Luo, Zhang Pan, and others to leave.
The assistant climbed into the front passenger seat with the medical kit, only to find the driver in the seat was somewhat different.
Hmm, his appearance was different.
It was clearly a young and handsome fellow before, how did he become a bearded man?
"Who are you?" The assistant asked curiously.
"Mr. Shi asked me to safely take you home." The bearded driver replied expressionlessly.
While speaking, he already started the vehicle, heading towards the high skies.
"That's not right..." Qin Luo exclaimed in surprise, saying: "I refused Shi Hongyun... who are you really?"
"Doctor Qin is very cautious." The bearded driver chuckled, saying: "I'm a good friend of Doctor Qin... Princess Xiu Xue's friend. She asked me to invite Doctor Qin to a place..."
