Liu Zejiang was stunned.

Zhu Jing was even more stunned. Immediately afterward, she was shocked and indignant as she spoke, "Divine Doctor Ye, what are you doing? This kid is just a swindler! Could it be that you were also deceived?"

Then, she turned to Jiang Chen, her voice fierce, "Get out, you swindler!"

"Since you still consider me a swindler, then I can leave."

Jiang Chen looked displeased, but he still reminded her with good intentions, "But before I go, let me tell you one last thing: Ye Yang cannot cure your father's poison at all. And with your messing around, your dad has at most two or three days to live. Take care of yourself."

"Two or three days to live?"

Zhu Jing was initially stunned, but then she flew into a rage, "You actually dare to curse my dad to die, you bastard, I'm going to kill you!"

At this moment, Zhu Jing was completely infuriated and wished she could kill Jiang Chen on the spot to ease her hatred.

Jiang Chen didn't explain and turned to leave.

"Wait!"

Ye Yang, who understood the situation, quickly called out and stopped Jiang Chen, then he looked at Zhu Jing, "I don't know what misunderstanding you have with Divine Doctor Jiang, but I can guarantee with my reputation that he is definitely not a swindler; he is a true Divine Doctor."

Afterward, he turned to Jiang Chen, his eyes ablaze with enthusiasm, "Truthfully, ever since I saw you use the Welcoming Spring Needle Technique last time, I haven't slept well for days. I went to look through numerous ancient medical texts and seriously compared the descriptions. I can confirm that the technique you used is indeed the most authentic Welcome Spring Needle."

Truth be told, Ye Yang had been worried these past few days about not being able to find Jiang Chen. Now that he had, he was determined to build a good relationship with Jiang Chen, even at a significant cost.

Jiang Chen was truly surprised by Ye Yang's attitude, for the other party was, after all, a renowned figure, and to be treated so generously by someone like that, someone considered a nobody, was very moving, "You are a senior, I was showing off in front of a master that day, which made you laugh."

"No, no, no..." Ye Yang waved his hands in haste, especially excited, "The master is the teacher. Your needle technique has already surpassed mine; I don't dare to call myself a senior. You are my senior, and you must give me more guidance..."

Seeing this, Zhu Jing was completely dumbfounded.

Ye Yang really is the famed Divine Doctor of Jinhai, associating with nobility, a man who is admired like the moon surrounded by a multitude of stars.

Would such a person be a fool? Of course not!

And to witness Ye Yang repeatedly affirming Jiang Chen and expressing such excitement like a student eager to learn, asking Jiang Chen for guidance?

Seeing Ye Yang's fan-like enthusiasm, as if a fan had just met their favorite celebrity, Zhu Jing just couldn't believe it.

Liu Zejiang felt relieved. He had brought Jiang Chen here, and all this time, Zhu Jing had been confronting him, which was incredibly stifling. But he didn't dare to offend Zhu Jing and had to endure it.

Now, it seemed everything was going to be easy. Look at Divine Doctor Ye, so respectful towards Jiang Chen; now let's see what you're going to do!

At this point, Zhu Jing's attitude had finally softened a bit. She looked at Jiang Chen skeptically, still finding it hard to believe. She hesitated for a moment and then asked Ye Yang in a low voice, "Divine Doctor Ye, could it be that my dad really has been poisoned?"

"Yes." Ye Yang nodded, "He has been poisoned indeed, and it's a strange poison."

Zhu Jing was shocked again; could it be that what this kid said was true? She glanced again at Jiang Chen, then Zhu Jing gritted her teeth and looked back to Ye Yang, "Divine Doctor Ye, then can you cure my dad's poison?"

Ye Yang checked Mr. Zhu once more, then spoke gravely, "This poison is very complicated, and indeed most of it has already been neutralized, but for some unknown reason, there has been a complication which has made the situation very troublesome. I'm not certain I can cure it; rash treatment could really result in death."

Zhu Jing's voice began to tremble, "Then... then does my dad really only have two or three days to live?"

Ye Yang nodded with a heavy voice, "I'm afraid that might be true."

Zhu Jing was stunned.

She was petrified!

It was over, everything was correct! That guy was right about everything, her father was doomed; she had harmed her own father...

Ye Yang glanced at the dumbstruck Zhu Jing, then bowed to Jiang Chen, "Divine Doctor Jiang, we in the medical profession abide by the principle of healing the sick and saving lives. I hope you won't hold Zhu Miss to the same standard; please, save Mr. Zhu."

Jiang Chen smiled but did not reply.

Zhu Jing was also in a panic, tears streaming down her face as she approached Jiang Chen, bending extremely low - a complete turn-around from her previous attitude, "I'm sorry, Divine Doctor Jiang, it was impulsive of me, my fault, all my fault. You can punish me however you like, but please save my father."

Jiang Chen looked at her and spoke indifferently, "What, you're no longer afraid I'm cheating you? Not afraid that your father will die as soon as I make a move?"

Zhu Jing's face turned bitter, her tears flowing even more freely. She knew that her earlier words had offended Jiang Chen and looked pleadingly at Ye Yang and Liu Zejiang.

"Mr. Jiang, please don't take it to heart with Zhu Jing. Saving a life is more virtuous than building a seven-storied pagoda," Liu Zejiang interjected, trying to smooth things over.

Ye Yang also spoke up again, "Divine Doctor Jiang, Mr. Zhu is also a longtime friend of mine. Consider it a favor for me, and also let me once more witness Divine Doctor Jiang's exquisite medical skills."

"Fine, for the two of you," Jiang Chen nodded, glanced at Zhu Jing, and reached for his silver needles. Ye Yang and the others hurriedly made space.

Upon reaching Mr. Zhu's side, Jiang Chen had to employ the Welcoming Spring Needle Technique once more due to the delay caused by Zhu Jing's interference.

Watching Jiang Chen administer the Welcoming Spring Needle Technique again, Ye Yang's eyes lit up, watching intently as Jiang Chen worked, his eyes filled with eager admiration.

Zhu Jing hesitantly asked, "Divine Doctor Jiang, didn't you say it only needed one more needle before?"

"Ha, you still remember, huh?"

Jiang Chen's mouth curled slightly, "It was indeed just one needle short, but thanks to your meddling, it's now even more troublesome than starting all over."

Caught up in the excitement, Ye Yang quickly said, "Alright, Zhu Jing, enough with the hindering."

Zhu Jing's face flushed with embarrassment, and she dared not speak, simply looking down.

"Ugh, ugh..."

After a full course of the Welcoming Spring Needle Technique, Mr. Zhu started vomiting incessantly again, and Zhu Jing hurriedly held a trash can for him, looking up skeptically at Jiang Chen.

"It's fine now. Once he's done vomiting, he'll be alright," Jiang Chen said nonchalantly.

Zhu Jing glanced at her father, pale and retching, hesitated before venturing, "My father, what poison... He's always so careful."

Jiang Chen didn't reply, but scanned the living room and wandered around, his eyes suddenly brightening, "Miss Zhu, does your father usually live alone in this villa?"

Zhu Jing was taken aback, "How did you know?"

With a smile, Jiang Chen walked over to a pot of exceedingly beautiful flowers in the living room, "Because, the source of the poison is this pot of flowers here in the villa."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yang walked over for a look and immediately expressed his doubts, "Could it be, this is actually..."

"Mandala Daisy."

With these three words, Jiang Chen lightly picked two leaves and told Zhu Jing, "Follow me," as he walked out of the villa.
