Shock!
"Oh, no! Nie's having a heart attack. Call the doctor!"
"Elder Xi, is your family doctor here today?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Quick! Call Old Hong over!" Old Master Xii quickly ordered the servants.
"Let me see!"
Qin Yan walked over to Old Master Nie and examined his heart. It was a myocardial infarction that was caused by a sudden surge in blood flow, resulting in a blockage of blood vessels.
Without another word, Qin Yan pulled Old Master Nie's clothes open. Just as she was about to insert a needle, Old Hong, the Xi family's family doctor, arrived.
"Stop! Where did this girl come from? Do you think that you can simply insert a needle into a place that's as important as the heart?"
Even though Old Hong was only a family doctor, he used to be a professor at Military Medical University before his retirement. He had quite a reputation.
After retiring, Military Medical University was prepared to hire him again. However, when he heard that the Xi family was looking for a family doctor, Old Hong, who was Old Master Xi's admirer and fan, turned down the university's offer. Instead, he became the Xi family doctor.
As a senior professor, he definitely knew these reputable elders.
Seeing that Qin Yan was about to insert needles into Old Master Nie's heart without any form of disinfection, he was so scared that he shouted without a second thought.
However—
"You old man, what are you saying? This is my granddaughter-in-law!"
Old Hong, "…!!!"
Old Master Xi rebuked him and a flash of redness surged over Old Hong's face, "Old Master, even if she's your granddaughter-in-law, you can't just let her randomly administer acupuncture on Old General Nie's heart! It could be lethal!"
Elder Yan became sarcastic immediately, "If you continue to stop her, he'll really die!"
Elder Xi also butted in, "You old antique, don't you know that my granddaughter-in-law's bracelet can disinfect wounds automatically?"
Old Hong, who had been showered with insults for no reason, "…"
What did he do?
He was merely trying to prevent the girl from touching the old general's heart because of his professional ethics in medicine. Even a normal person could understand that, right?
However, what was wrong with these two elders? Were they trying to kill Old Master Nie?
How could they allow a girl who was still wet behind the ears to perform acupuncture on General Nie so casually?
As everyone was attempting to stop Old Hong, Qin Yan had already inserted the needle into Elder Nie's aorta.
"Stop! You can't…"
Old Hong was shocked by Qin Yan's bold acupuncture technique. He shouted for her to stop and extended his arm to stop her.
"Shut up!"
However, before he even extended his arm, the two old masters shouted in unison.
Old Hong quickly pulled his barely extended hand back and looked at the two angry masters fearfully.
So… had the two old men joined forces to murder General Nie?
No way!!!
However, soon enough, Old Hong's attention was caught by Qin Yan's technique.
After inserting a few needles, a healthy pink started to blossom on Old General Nie's pale face. After inserting a few more, Old Master Nie's breathing sounded significantly smoother.
Soon, Old Master Nie, whose heart was already beating at a calmer rate, opened his eyes. He smiled seeing Qin Yan's face in front of him.
Old Hong's eyes widened when he saw Old Master Nie's rapid transition into normally lying on the ground as though nothing happened.
More importantly, was he aware of the danger that he was in just now? One wrong move and he would have ended up dead!
"Old General Nie, are you feeling unwell anywhere? Do you feel your heart aching?" Old Hong could not help but stick his head out and asked.
Only then did Elder Nie return to his senses. Oh, God. It seemed like he got a heart attack from feeling too bad.
Lowering his head to look at the few silver needles on his chest, he gripped Qin Yan's hand in joy and in shock. He asked tentatively, "Little Girl, did you save me just now?"
"Exactly! Just now, Old Man Hong wanted to stop Yan Yan, but we all agreed unanimously that Yan Yan is more reliable, so we told Yan Yan to treat you quickly. It only took a few needles, and you're already fine."
At that moment, the ambulance arrived.
Since most of the people who lived here were the commanders of the military base, vice presidents, or top senior officers of the executive hall, the ambulance drove over at the fastest speed possible after receiving the distressed call.
Seeing that Old Master Nie was fine, Qin Yan removed the silver needles and helped him put on his clothes properly.
Old Master Nie stood up. The other three old masters also stood up and asked with concern, "How's it? Are you feeling alright?"
Old Master Nie tried to stretch his chest and realized that he did not feel any discomfort. He was overjoyed and he shook his head vigorously, "No, no! I feel wonderful everywhere! Woah, my body is as strong as an ox. I don't need to go to the hospital. Cancel the trip! Cancel the trip!"
Crack!
With a loud crack, the group of elders turned to look at Old Hong only to find his mouth wide open in shock. He ended up dislocating his jaw from the extreme shock. Right now, he was crying out in pain with his mouth open.
Upon seeing this, Qin Yan walked forward and gently placed her hand on his dislocated chin.
With a dull clack, his jawbone was reconnected once more.
Feeling that his jaw was no longer hurting, Old Hong put his hands on his waist and scrutinized the four old generals' legs.
"This… This… This…"
After a few seconds that felt like forever, he was too agitated to speak.
Old Master Xi patted Old Hong's shoulder. It was as though he had nowhere to flex. So, whenever he saw someone, he wanted to make them jealous of him.
"This is the effect of my granddaughter-in-law's acupuncture treatment. My granddaughter-in-law gave the two of them acupuncture at the same time. In less than 45 minutes, they can now walk on their feet. Let me tell you, every seven days, my granddaughter-in-law will apply fire cups on them and perform acupuncture on them twice. I guarantee that they won't need a wheelchair anymore."
Looking at Old Hong's widened eyes, Old Master Xi felt that it was not enough, "Old Hong, you have to strengthen your professional training! Look at my granddaughter-in-law, she's not even 20 years old yet, but she's already so good in medicine! You should watch out and not fall behind the younger generation, okay?"
Old Hong, "…"
He felt like the Old Master Xi was a petty person who must not get his way. Once he succeeded, he would be so cocky!
The medical staff carried a stretcher in and immediately went to look for the patient. However, everyone kept laughing at Old Hong. The medical staff was stunned, "May I know who has a heart attack?"
"Me!" Old Master Nie raised his hand, then waved it away again, "However, now that I'm fine, I won't hold you up any longer. You can go back!"
Old Hong frowned, "Old General Nie, although you've recovered, your illness hit you quite hard just now. Why don't I accompany you to the hospital for a full body checkup?"
Elder Nie looked at Qin Yan, "Little Girl, do you think I should go to the hospital?"
"Your body is fine now, but like Grandfather Hong said, you should go for a full body checkup just to be safe."1
She could not possibly tell him that she had examined his body thoroughly and found nothing wrong with him, right?
However, Elder Nie said, "Since the little girl said that I'm fine, then I won't go. I'll listen to my little girl Yan."
Qin Yan thought to herself, 'Is it really good for him to trust me so blindly?'
Old Hong thought to himself, 'Is it really good for him to trust her so blindly?'
Old Master Xi, '…when did this little girl become yours? Shameless!'
Old Master Xi decided that he would never let Old Master Nie hang out at his house again.
He finally found such a wonderful granddaughter-in-law. It would be so not worth it if Old Man Nie took her away from Old Master Xi!
"Then… Old Master Nie, are you still going to the hospital?"
"Yes!"
"No!"
Old Hong and Elder Nie spoke at the same time.
Old Hong was speechless. "Old General…"
"Okay, okay, stop talking. Nobody knows my body better than I do."
At that moment, Old Hong's phone rang.
He glanced at the caller ID and picked it up. "Hello, Master Nie? Yes! The Old General is fine now, but I asked him to go to the hospital for a detailed checkup, but he refused to go! …okay! Okay!"
