Urban Peerless Expert

Jiao Feng frowned and said, "Are you a doctor?"

Lin Chen replied calmly, "I have studied with my master for a few years."

Jiao Feng sneered, "Do you have a medical qualification certificate?"

Lin Chen shook his head, "No."

Jiao Feng coldly said, "Without even a medical qualification certificate, dare you brag here? Do you know who this is? Wen Yu'an, a famous top physician in the country. Does he need your advice?"

Lin Chen frowned and wanted to explain a bit, but Gu Hongtao next to him had already glared at him coldly, staring displeasedly at Gu Yue Xi.

"Control your boyfriend and don't pretend to know everything. What kind of occasion is this?"

Gu Yue Xi's face turned red from her father's scolding, and she hurriedly pulled Lin Chen, staring fiercely at him.

"Shut up!"

Lin Chen's words were interrupted by Gu Yue Xi, and he shook his head helplessly, no longer speaking.

Well, you're paying the money, you're the boss, you have the final say.

Lin Chen only offered his opinion because he had a favorable impression of the old man from his words, hoping that the old man would suffer less pain.

If his advice wasn't appreciated, then he wouldn't say anything.

Wen Yu'an turned his head and continued his acupuncture.

After several more needles were inserted, one minute later, Gu Jianjun's heavy breathing noticeably subsided and his tense body relaxed.

Wen Yu'an nodded with satisfaction, smiling at Lin Chen, "Young man, isn't this helpful?"

Lin Chen shook his head, still insisting, "No."

Before Wen Yu'an could speak, Jiao Feng next to him sneered, "You're really stubborn like a duck. The old man's symptoms have obviously improved a lot, and everyone has seen that, but only you can't see it. Are your eyes blind?"

Wen Yu'an frowned and said in a deep voice, "Medical skills can be high or low, and doctors should have medical ethics. Young man, as a doctor, you should follow objective facts, not just rely on subjective speculation. Otherwise, you can only become a quack doctor, harming others and yourself!"

Lin Chen didn't refute, just smiled, "Why not try removing the silver needles?"

Jiao Feng impatiently said, "You don't even have a medical qualification. You have no say!"

Lin Chen didn't move but looked at Wen Yu'an.

Wen Yu'an frowned and looked at Lin Chen carefully. Lin Chen had a faint smile on his face, calm and neither humble nor arrogant.

After some thought, Wen Yu'an turned his head and removed the silver needles one by one.

Gu Jianjun lay quietly on the bed, his expression peaceful, his breathing steady, seemingly nothing wrong.

However, just in the blink of an eye, Gu Jianjun suddenly coughed violently again.

This time, the coughing was even more violent than before. Gu Jianjun's face turned purple, as if he would suffocate and die at any moment.

Everyone in the room changed their expressions, all looking intently at Wen Yu'an's face.

Wen Yu'an appeared completely baffled, his eyebrows furrowed, his eyes doubtful and puzzled, murmuring to himself, "Why...I did use the needles..."

Lin Chen spoke up, "You used the Seven-Star Needle Technique, which is a very good method, but unfortunately, you used a simplified version, which lacks two needles and is much less effective..."

Wen Yu'an suddenly turned his head, his eyes filled with disbelief.

This young man could actually recognize his Seven-Star Needle at a glance, and even noticed that he was using the simplified version!

Wen Yu'an unconsciously adopted a more inquisitive tone, "Even with the simplified version, I have applied the needles to help his breathing. Why is this happening?"

Lin Chen casually replied, "You chose the wrong acupoints. Your needles not only failed to release the stagnated air but trapped it even more. As soon as you removed the silver needles, the trapped air would burst out even more violently."

"This is like a gourd in a water tank. When you press it down with your hand, it can naturally sink to the bottom. But as soon as you let go, it will come up from the water. It's the same principle."

Wen Yu'an's face was filled with disbelief, "I chose the wrong acupoints?"

Lin Chen glanced at Gu Jianjun, who was gasping for breath and looked like he was about to die, and wasted no time in striding to the bedside, picking up the silver needles on the tray beside him, and giving the answer directly, "The first needle, it shouldn't be the Tanzhong Acupoint, but the Shenfeng Acupoint..."

As Lin Chen spoke, the silver needles had already been inserted like the wind, precisely into the Shenfeng Acupoint, three parts deep, without deviation.

Wen Yu'an's eyes suddenly widened, full of amazement.

"The second needle, the Bubbling Well acupoint."

As Lin Chen spoke, his hands didn't stop, swiftly inserting a row of silver needles alongside Gu Jianjun's body like the wind.

Wen Yu'an didn't stop him, and even blocked Gu Hongtao and others who wanted to come forward and stop Lin Chen, staring intently at Lin Chen's acupuncture, his eyes growing brighter.

"The Huitian Needle!"

After watching Lin Chen's needle technique for a while, Wen Yu'an suddenly exclaimed, his eyes wide open and full of disbelief.

The Huitian Needle ranked third in the World's Marvelous Needle List, one of the unique skills in the acupuncture world. This young man in front of him was so young yet knew the Huitian Needle!

Lin Chen stepped back, pressing two acupoints on Gu Jianjun's body. Gu Jianjun's tense body suddenly relaxed, and he took a long breath, his dark purple face turning pale red quickly.The situation has improved!

Lin Chen let go of his hand, helped Gu Jianjun lie down on the bed, then turned to look at Wen Yu'an with a slight smile, "Your judgment is quite good, I indeed used the Huitian Needle."

Everyone in the room had a strange expression on their faces.

For some reason...

It would be fine if Wen Yu'an said it to Lin Chen, but if Lin Chen said it to Wen Yu'an, it felt a bit off, didn't it?

Gu Hongtao and the others didn't understand medicine, nor did they know about the Seven Star Needle and Huitian Needle. However, just now, the old man seemed like he was about to take his last breath, but now his breathing was steady. Everyone could see that the old man's condition had improved.

Wen Yu'an, who was one of the four famous doctors, had a shocked expression, as if he had seen a ghost, which also explained a lot.

Gu Hongtao looked astonished, his face expressing a mixture of happiness and worry.

He was happy because his daughter suddenly brought back such a skilled doctor as her boyfriend who saved the old man. However, he was worried because after today's events, trying to drive him away from his daughter would probably be met with resistance, especially from the old man himself.

Gu Yuexi was dumbfounded, with a face full of disbelief.

Was the man she just casually found so amazing?

These 50,000 yuan were totally worth it!

Wen Yu'an looked at Lin Chen with an undisguised burning gaze.

Wen Yu'an cupped his hands in tribute and politely asked, "May I know your name, sir?"

"Lin Chen."

Wen Yu'an said gratefully, "Thank goodness Mr. Lin was present today, or I would have made a huge mistake. I am truly grateful."

Lin Chen smiled, "You're too kind."

"Mr. Lin, your medical skills are extraordinary. I am inferior to you. I wonder if I can get your contact information, so I can visit you another day to show my gratitude and learn a thing or two from you."

Lin Chen was slightly surprised, "You're a famous doctor, why would you need to learn from me?"

Wen Yu'an looked sincere and said, "There's no limit to medical knowledge, and the one who achieves mastery can be my teacher."

Seeing Wen Yu'an's sincere attitude, Lin Chen took out his mobile phone and exchanged contact information with him.

"Mr. Lin, I'll leave first. I'll contact you later."

"Alright!"

Wen Yu'an turned and left the room, and Jiao Feng followed him with an awkward expression.

In the room, the Gu family looked at Lin Chen, and for a moment, the atmosphere was strange.

It was Gu Yuexi who spoke first, "Lin Chen, you just said that my grandpa's illness can be cured?"

Lin Chen picked up a pen and wrote a prescription for Gu Yuexi, "Boil three bowls of water down to one, take one dose a day, three times, for a month, along with acupuncture…um…"

Suddenly, Lin Chen realized that he was just a fake boyfriend. Once he left the hospital, he'd have nothing to do with the Gu family, so why should he bother with acupuncture?

However, having said that, Lin Chen had no choice but to continue, "If you combine acupuncture with the medication, the effect will be even better. Of course, even without acupuncture, if you persist in taking the medicine, the symptoms will be greatly improved, and there shouldn't be any relapses like today's."

The Gu family was overjoyed. Just now, the attending doctor, Jiao Feng, said that there was nothing he could do, but the problem was solved in a blink of an eye?

Wouldn't that be almost as good as being cured?

After all the tossing and turning, Gu Jianjun had used up half of his energy and was now lying weakly on the bed. Bai Qian, Gu Yuexi's mother, stayed in the room to look after him, while everyone else left the ward.

Gu Hongtao stared at Lin Chen in the hallway, "Lin Chen, can Xiaoxi's grandfather make a full recovery?"

Lin Chen nodded, "With acupuncture combined with the medication, there should be no problem."

Gu Hongtao thought for a moment and took out a bank card from his pocket, handing it to Lin Chen.

"Today, you saved Xiaoxi's grandfather, and our whole family is very grateful for that. Please take a little more responsibility for the old man's treatment during this time... There is 500,000 yuan in this card, please accept it as compensation for your time."

500,000 yuan?

Such a wealthy family!

Lin Chen didn't take the card immediately, but looked at Gu Yuexi who was standing next to him.

Gu Yuexi was stunned, apparently not expecting her father to do this.

She didn't care about the 500,000 yuan, but since her father was doing this, wouldn't she and Lin Chen have to continue with their act?

A strange, amused smile flickered across Lin Chen's eyes.

It was clear that Gu Hongtao disliked him for having no background and being a poor boy, so he chose to use money to resolve this favor, making it easier for him to break up their relationship later.

"Since Uncle says so, then I'll accept it."

Lin Chen took the bank card and glanced at Gu Yuexi, who was fuming, adding with a smile, "In the future, when Yue Yue and I are together, we'll need to buy a house of our own. I'll save this money for now..."
