  Dr. Zhou took stock of the situation and said sternly, “We can’t wait anymore. Professor He is not here, and Young Master Li can’t hold on much longer. We have to carry out the operation right away!”

  Dr. Zhou was the vice president of the Capitol’s First Hospital. His healing skill was remarkable, and he had obtained many awards in the medical field. He was also known as God’s right hand.

  A doctor standing next to him said, “But Vice President Zhou, he is…… Besides, if we don’t have complete confidence and carry out the operation rashly, there is a huge chance that a medical accident will occur.”

  Dr. Zhou frowned and objected. “I have already said that the main cause of the hematemesis and coma is in the stomach. Only by carrying out a laparoscopy will we be able to stop gastrorrhagia. If we don’t do the operation now, things will become even more complicated. Then, no one will be able to save him!”

  The rest of the doctors relapsed into silence, and their expressions were grim. Dr. Zhou added, “Even if my judgment is wrong and we don’t find out the main cause of his illness during the operation, we can just stitch up the wound. Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure, so it won’t put his life in danger!”

  The other doctors did not know what to say, as they were not sure whether they should take this risk or not.

  Glancing across the group of doctors, Vice President Zhou waved his arm and added, “The reason we put our whole heart into studying medicine is to save lives. I will bear all the possible consequences Young Master Li might face during the operation.”

  A doctor chimed in, “I agree with Dr. Zhou. If we don’t do the operation now, Young Master Li might not be able to make it through the night.”

  After a short silence, they all reached a consensus.

  The villa was well-prepared. Dr. Zhou immediately ordered a few doctors to prepare for the operation.

  Suddenly, Fu Zhi’s indifferent voice rang out from behind, reaching everyone’s ears. “Despite his current state, you guys are still choosing to perform an operation on him? Are you trying to kill him?”

  Her voice trailed off toward the other side of the corridor. A hushed silence descended, and everyone went still from shock.

  Dr. Zhou was the first one to come back to his senses. With a frown, he turned toward the source of the voice and his eyes landed on Fu Zhi, who was walking beside Secretary Liu.

  When he saw that she was a young girl around 16 or 17 years old, his face sank and he hissed, “Who are you, kid? Do you know that this is not a place where you can mess around? Get out of here!”

  The rest of the doctors also looked furiously at Fu Zhi. They had been working under high pressure for several days straight. Their nerves were tightly wound, so they could not say anything right now.

  “Secretary Liu, we already found a way to save Young Master Li. Please kick her out, as her presence would only affect the procedure.”

  Looking at the impatient Dr. Zhou, Secretary Liu shook his head. “Vice President Zhou, she is the famous doctor invited by Professor He and Old Master Li.”

  ‘She is the famous doctor? How is there any possibility a young girl would know anything about Chinese medicine?’

  Dr. Zhou was annoyed by Fu Zhi’s sudden appearance. Plus, he did not have much confidence in the operation, and Fu Zhi had now thrown a wet blanket over his plan……

  Therefore, when Secretary Liu said that Fu Zhi was the famous doctor, he refused to believe it. “She is the famous doctor? Has she reached adulthood yet? Secretary Liu, you should know very well that it takes at least 10 years of experience for one to be considered a famous doctor in Chinese medicine.

  “In my opinion, you’ve either picked up the wrong person, or this lady over here has been practicing Chinese medicine since she was in her mother’s womb.”

  It was very apparent that Dr. Zhou was dissatisfied with Fu Zhi.

  Secretary Liu hesitated for a moment before he turned around to look at Fu Zhi.

  “40 minutes. I can wake him up in 40 minutes,” Fu Zhi said. There was a smirk playing at the tips of her lips, and her eyes were cold.

  Dr. Zhou was tickled pink by her response. “You are going to wake Young Master Li up in 40 minutes? You and whose army? Hah, that’s the funniest thing I’ve heard!”

  “That should be my line.”

  Fu Zhi threw a glance at him. “You said you’re going to perform an operation on him, yet if you don’t find anything wrong, you’re going to stitch the wound up and act as if nothing happened? Do you think this is an embroidery workshop?”

  Dr. Zhou narrowed his eyes as his chest heaved up and down heavily in rage. He pointed at Fu Zhi and looked at Secretary Liu. “Did you hear what she just said? She’s mocking me!

  “You are saying you can wake Young Master Li up in 40 minutes? Nowadays, youngsters really have ideas above their station. I’m really curious to know what kind of method you’re going to use that gives you so much confidence that you can do something none of us can achieve.”

  Fu Zhi replied plainly, “Acupuncture.”

  She was holding a deep yellow pouch in her right hand. Her long, slender eyelashes cast shadows on her cheeks, so no one could read her expression.

  “Acupuncture?! Ridiculous!” Dr. Zhou sneered. “You’re going to use acupuncture to treat Young Master Li? Do you think we are all idiots?”

  Every doctor was familiar with acupuncture techniques. They were a key component of traditional Chinese medicine that was used to treat a variety of conditions by triggering specific points on the skin or the central nervous system with needles.

  These techniques were considered a miracle by the medical field. Usually, it took roughly 10 years for a Chinese medicine practitioner to master the acupuncture techniques, and they would not simply use the techniques to treat their patients if they were not confident in their skill. After all, one simple mistake by an untrained hand could lead to tragic consequences.

  Therefore, Dr. Zhou stamped his feet in fury. “Nonsense! Even Sun Sanzhen does not have the confidence to say he can wake Young Master Li up in just 40 minutes! You’re nothing but a little girl, yet you’d dare treat a patient with acupuncture? What are you going to tell Old Master Li if anything happens to Young Master Li?”

  All the doctors looked indignantly at Fu Zhi.

  “Secretary Liu, you might not know this, but a human body has 720 points. Amongst these 720 points, 108 are vital points, which are further classified into lethal points and normal points. If the acupuncturist inserts the needle into the wrong point, the patient will die in no time!”

  “Regardless of whether we look at this from the aspect of experience or ability, Master Sun Sanzhen is way better than this little girl. Even a person like him doesn’t have the confidence to carry out such a feat, yet this little girl is saying that she can do it? I’m not sure if she is too confident or she’s just being delusional.”

  “She isn’t a famous doctor. I’m sure she’s nothing but a charlatan who tricked Old Master Li and Professor He into believing that she’s the real deal.”

  “Don’t you ever think that you can be a famous doctor just because you know some basic medical skills. You’re really young, so why don’t you just keep your feet on the ground and go learn some real skills instead of being a good-for-nothing cheater? The sun will rise from the west if you save Young Master Li!”

  Everyone believed that Fu Zhi was a little girl who did not like to study and preferred to mess around.

  There was coldness in Dr. Zhou’s eyes, as he was disgusted with Fu Zhi’s holier-than-thou attitude. “Listen here, you ignorant little girl. I’m going to be very clear: I’m 50% confident that I can save Young Master Li, but even if I can’t do it, you would never tell me what to do!”

  After saying that, he turned around and ordered his group of doctors, “Let’s go prepare for the operation. We don’t have much time left.”

  Fu Zhi looked at him defiantly, making Dr. Zhou feel provoked. Just as he was about to say something, he was pulled away by an unknown force and he stumbled, taking a few steps back.

  “I’m not sure where you got the courage to say that you are only 50% confident about saving him. If I were you, I’d find a hole and bury myself in it.”

  Dr. Zhou was filled with so much rage that his chest heaved up and down vigorously. Just as he was about to fight back, Fu Zhi went into Li Nanli’s room.

  Then, she locked the door from the inside, causing Dr. Zhou to swallow all his curses back into his stomach pit.

  Dr. Zhou snarled, “Come out!”

  Fu Zhi looked at him through the window as if she was saying that there was nothing he could do if she did not want to go out.

  When he saw that Fu Zhi was walking toward Li Nanli, the alarm in his heart blared out. He turned to Secretary Liu and said, “Chinese medicine is not the same as Western medicine. Without the aid of a professional diagnostic instrument, the result of the diagnosis tends to be inaccurate. There are a lot of risks involved in acupuncture. Even a Chinese medicine veteran cannot guarantee that they can avoid all the risks, let alone this young girl. You have to think twice about it, Secretary Liu!”

  Everyone else joined the parade and began persuading Secretary Liu with all sorts of arguments.

  Secretary Liu just said simply, “I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of President Li. However, Ms. Fu has been invited by Old Master Li. I’m sure he knows what he’s doing. Let’s just wait and see what she’s capable of.”

  The room was spacious and clean. The wind that slipped through the window was damp, and the light pouring down from the ceiling gave everything in its path a glossy sheen.

  Fu Zhi began to scan the ward.

  There was a man lying on the sickbed. He had an ectomorphic body stature and he was wearing a white shirt. Fu Zhi could not see his face clearly, as it was hidden by the light.

  One of his arms rested on top of the black comforter. His fingers were slender and delicate but extremely pale. Fu Zhi reckoned that it must be because of his illness.

  After taking a few steps, she stopped in front of the bed and lowered her head. It was only then that she saw the man’s face.

  Her nephew had an attractive face. His skin was fair, and his facial features were well-defined. His thin lips were tightly-closed, making him look like a difficult person.

  She studied him for a while before peeling her eyes away. She set down her pouch beside the bed and spread it open, revealing the row of silver needles inside. Then, she picked a few out and inserted them precisely one by one into the man’s body.

  Renzhong point, Shaoshang point, Yinbai point, Daling point, Shenmai point, Fengfu point, and Jiache point.

  Dr. Zhou was as anxious as a cat on a hot tin roof. “Ridiculous! This is ridiculous! Does she think that she can cure gastrorrhagia by inserting needles into a few points? She must be out of her mind!”

  The others shook their heads in unison. “As doctors, we’ll never say we are 100% confident about curing a patient, even if we’re very confident. There is no way she could be the real deal considering how arrogant she is!”

  Secretary Liu put a fake smile on his face and said, “Since we’ve decided to let her treat President Li, we should stop being suspicious of her. I have faith in Ms. Fu Zhi.”

  However, in reality, he was not as calm as he looked on the surface. His heart was pumping as wildly as a horse galloping on a grass plain, and he was shouting inwardly, ‘Ahh! This is so scary! Can I really trust her? Ahh!! I’m so scared!’

  Meanwhile, inside the ward……

  Fu Zhi had already inserted seven needles into Li Nanli’s body and the remaining six needles into Chengjiang point, Raogong point, Shangxin point, Baihui point, Quqi point, and Haiquan point respectively.

  She finished the entire process in one swift motion.

  When Dr. Zhou saw her insert the last needle, he sneered, “Even if she’s right, if she can’t cure Young Master Li, she’s going to jail. After all, she’s the one who caused us to miss the window to save him!”

  “That’s right. She doesn’t know what she’s doing. She doesn’t even own a medical certificate, yet she has the audacity to come out and try to be a hero!”

  “No! We’re wrong!” As everyone was reprimanding Fu Zhi, Dr. Zhao stared at Fu Zhi’s hands and murmured, “Renzhong point is Ghost Palace, Shaoshang point is Ghost Faith, Daling point is Ghost Heart…… They are the Thirteen Ghost Points. These are the Thirteen Ghost Points!”

  Dr. Zhao’s voice rose by an octave as he added, “Look at her. She is performing the Thirteen Ghost Points Acupuncture Manipulation!”

  Dr. Zhou was startled but soon collected himself. His brows were furrowed as he said, “Thirteen Ghost Points Acupuncture Manipulation? How is that possible? Have you gone crazy, Dr. Zhao? How is there any chance that she would know how to use that acupuncture technique given her current age? Are you sure you haven’t made a mistake?”

  After all, the Thirteen Ghost Points Acupuncture Manipulation was the most obscure and esoteric technique of acupuncture. This was because usual acupuncture techniques were used to treat people, but the Thirteen Ghost Points Acupuncture Manipulation was used to address disturbances that were attributed to demonic possession.

  It was extremely effective against diseases or illnesses that could not be cured by medicine. However, since the traditional Chinese medicine that had been passed down since ancient times for almost 1,000 years was regarded as feudal superstition and pseudoscience by modern people, many Chinese medicine skills had been lost in the world.

  The Thirteen Ghost Points Acupuncture Manipulation was one of them.

  Dr. Zhao nodded. His eyes were filled with fiery, hot passion as he fixed them on Fu Zhi’s hands. “Three years ago, China sent a doctor to participate in an international medicine competition, and the Thirteen Ghost Points Acupuncture Manipulation was the reason we won the competition! Unfortunately, the competition was not made public that year, and there are only a few short videos of that old master performing this acupuncture technique on the web. I have studied the videos many times, so I’m certain that the technique she is using is the same as the one performed by that old master!”

  The group of doctors looked at Fu Zhi and realized that the silver needles in Li Nanli’s body were turning black.

  “This is…… The silver needles in Young Master Li’s body are vibrating……”

  “According to the ancient records, the Thirteen Ghost Points Acupuncture Manipulation is mainly used for exorcism. If the silver needles are vibrating, it means it’s working! Young Master Li will be fine!”

  All the doctors were shouting and hurraying in joy save for one person. After hearing what Dr. Zhao had said, Dr. Zhou was so shocked that he was at a loss for words.

  He had not expected that the little girl he looked down upon would actually be able to perform the Thirteen Ghost Points Acupuncture Manipulation.

  Suddenly, he felt as if someone had slapped his cheek and he moved his hand to cover his face.

  He had no idea why, but he found this quite painful.
