Chapter 59: Benevolence Fulfilled and Righteousness Exhausted

Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Benevolence Fulfilled and Righteousness Exhausted ... To take responsibility for the patient’s life, Xia Rou controlled her personal emotions and made one final effort. "If the silver needles are removed, the patient’s heart rate and blood pressure are likely to lose control again. At that point, I won’t be able to help anymore. Please reconsider carefully, Dean Hong." "Scare tactics!" Hong Fuquan sneered. "I’ve treated more patients than the men you’ve ever met! Spare me your nonsense!" "Since that’s the case..." Xia Rou turned to Zhang Hongde and said, "I’ve done all I could, and said all I needed to say. After removing the silver needles, whatever happens next has nothing to do with me. Dean Zhang, please bear witness for me." Zhang Hongde nodded slightly and sighed, "You’ve done your utmost." With no choice left, Xia Rou stepped forward to remove the silver needles from Li Junkai’s body, pulled Yan Xiaobao, and prepared to leave. "You’re leaving just like that?" Yan Xiaobao glanced at Li Junkai, unconscious on the hospital bed. "This guy is on the verge of dying; Rourou, you’re really not letting me save him?" Yan Xiaobao couldn’t care less about Li Junkai’s life or death; he just wanted to save the patient, so that Xia Rou would officially become his wife and sleep beside him. "With so many experts here, it’s no longer our concern," Xia Rou said as she pushed the door and left. Yan Xiaobao followed her unhappily, full of complaints as he jogged after her, feeling that this was a complete waste of his time. "Why are you dawdling? Let’s go!" Xia Rou reached the elevator and found Yan Xiaobao had not followed but was sitting on a chair in the hallway. "No rush; that patient is about to die soon. They’ll come begging you to save him in no time." Yan Xiaobao grinned at Xia Rou. "Rourou, let me save him for you, then you can officially become my wife, okay?" "No way!" Xia Rou replied sternly. "That patient is no longer under my responsibility. Whether you save him or not is up to you, but I won’t officially become your wife because of it." "Because Rourou, you’ll officially become my wife sooner or later anyway." Yan Xiaobao beamed brightly. "I can definitely heal your patient, so why not make it official today?" Xia Rou: "..." Meanwhile, Hong Fuquan was organizing a team of experts to treat Li Junkai. Once Xia Rou’s silver needles were removed, Li Junkai’s heart rate and blood pressure started stabilizing, gradually returning to normal levels. "As soon as the silver needles were removed, the patient’s vital signs normalized. I told you, acupuncture for emergency rescue is nonsense." Hong Fuquan clasped his hands behind his back and smiled faintly. "Dean Hong’s insight is truly remarkable, far beyond the capabilities of ordinary doctors." "Exactly! How could a little girl possibly..." Before the experts could finish their flattery, the figures on the monitor began to spike sharply. Heart rate: 160! Heart rate: 180! Heart rate: 200! "This... what’s happening?" Hong Fuquan’s smiling expression froze. This was the first time he had ever encountered such a situation, completely beyond his comprehension. The other experts exchanged bewildered glances, utterly at a loss. Zhang Hongde reacted quickly. Without wasting time, he dashed out of the emergency room to chase after Xia Rou and Yan Xiaobao. "Dean Zhang, how is my son doing?" Waiting outside the operating room, Li Desheng and his wife, upon seeing Zhang Hongde’s anxious face, were instantly struck by fear and chills. "Ask Dean Hong. I’m going after Divine Doctor Yan." Zhang Hongde charged toward the elevator without turning around, while dialing Xia Rou’s phone. Upon understanding the situation, Li Desheng was so furious his hair practically stood on end. He pointed at Hong Fuquan’s nose and cursed angrily, "Hong! If anything happens to my son, I’ll make sure your entire family pays for it!" "And the rest of you!" Mrs. Li joined in, pointing at the other experts. "You’re incompetent fools! If my son can’t be saved, the Li Family will go bankrupt to make you pay with blood!" Hong Fuquan was scolded until he was utterly humiliated, unable to muster a word in response. The Li Family was powerful and hard to provoke, and this had become a major disaster. The experts standing nearby grumbled silently, cursing Hong Fuquan’s ancestors under their breath. Xia Rou had clearly warned them: removing the silver needles would likely cause the patient’s heart rate and blood pressure to lose control again. Yet Hong Fuquan, driven by his need to oppose Zhang Hongde and assert his authority, forcibly demanded the needles be removed, leading to this mess. It’s one thing for Hong Fuquan to bring trouble upon himself, but dragging everyone else into it? At this moment, Zhang Hongde arrived at the elevator and, after much persuasion, managed to convince Xia Rou to return. Upon seeing Xia Rou, the experts immediately surrounded her as though she were their savior, eagerly imploring her. "Doctor Xia, the patient’s condition is critical. Please use the silver needles for emergency treatment again!" "Yes, yes, we were blind earlier and offended you. We hope you’ll forgive us and focus on saving lives first!" "That’s right, quickly, quickly, save the patient!" Xia Rou, having a heart of compassion as a doctor and not being one to hold grudges, said nothing as she stepped forward to examine Li Junkai’s condition. However, after checking his pulse, Xia Rou shook her head again. "I already mentioned before, if the patient’s heart rate and blood pressure entered a state of chaos again, my acupuncture techniques would be ineffective..." "What?" The crowd was dumbfounded upon hearing this. Xia Rou had been the last hope; if even she couldn’t help, then all was lost... "Junkai!" Mrs. Li collapsed in front of the surgical bed, gripping her son’s hand tightly as tears streamed uncontrollably, her cries shattering her voice. "Hong! I don’t care what you do—bring my son back to life! Otherwise..." Li Desheng furiously pointed at Hong Fuquan again, "you better go home and prepare for the worst yourself!" "I..." Hong Fuquan’s face turned pale with fear. This was far from an ordinary doctor-patient conflict... With the Li Family’s resources, if they went all out to retaliate, he’d truly be finished... "Doctor Xia..." Left with no options, Hong Fuquan had to swallow his pride and lower himself to plead with Xia Rou. "I was wrong earlier. I apologize. Please reconsider and find a way—no matter what—save Mr. Li’s life." "If I had a solution, I certainly wouldn’t stand idly by." Xia Rou shook her head helplessly. "My acupuncture techniques are not omnipotent. We already missed the window for effective rescue. Now... now I really have no way left." "Hmph! Don’t think I don’t know your little schemes." Hong Fuquan suddenly gritted his teeth and glared at Xia Rou. "Do you think this medical incident will help Zhang Hongde oust me? Dream on! Let me tell you all, if anything happens to Mr. Li today, none of us here will be able to avoid responsibility!" ... [Please bookmark, recommend, reward, and support!] ...
