“Hey! That’s amazing, that old man’s fingers are really moving!”
“Ah, I didn’t expect that kid to be this amazing. I was really afraid when he placed those needles into his head!”
“This old man is so lucky. We all thought that he wasn’t going to make it. None of us expected him to be able to return from the brink of death!”
All those who had seen Ling Yun executing the acupuncture were in awe and amazed by his medical skills.
Most of the medical staff noticed that the old man had sustained the most severe injuries and crowded towards him.
Xue Meining gave Ling Yun a smile that was filled with blatant admiration before letting go of his arm and running towards the old man.
“Tell them not to move the old man within the next half an hour,” Ling Yun told Xue Meining from behind.
After that, he walked slowly towards the girl who had a broken leg.
There were also a few medical staff here who were getting ready to bring the girl into the ambulance but were confused by the silver needles sticking out of her body.
The silver needles had been placed by Ling Yun to help alleviate the pain and put her to sleep. They had nothing to do with her broken leg.
Ling Yun removed all the silver needles from her body when he got there.
“Bring her into the car and be careful not to touch her injured leg. Also, that girl over there injured her arm, she needs to head to the hospital too.”
Ling Yun got up and patted another girl’s head.
“Thank you, brother Ling Yun!” The girl who had injured her arm thanked Ling Yun before getting into the ambulance.
He ended up before Zhuang Meifeng again and he could not help but gawk at her beauty.
Zhuang Meifeng’s beauty was so charming that it could make any man’s heart skip a beat and take their breath away.
Ling Yun could not help himself as he turned around and glanced at Sun Xing who resembled a dead dog.
No wonder this b.a.s.t.a.r.d came all the way here to ram into her car, she’s an absolute stunner!
But why does this stunner look so familiar?
“Thank you for saving me!”
Zhuang Meifeng quickly expressed her grat.i.tude the moment she noticed Ling Yun was right in front of her.
Even though her voice was cold as usual, her grat.i.tude was written all over her face.
She had only lost consciousness, thus, she would still have been able to wake up on her own even without Ling Yun’s silver needles, it would just require a little more time.
However, Ling Yun did a lot more than helping her regain consciousness. If not for Ling Yun, she would have definitely have been humiliated by Sun Xing today. This was the main reason she was so grateful towards him.
“No need to thank me, your injury wasn’t even that serious. I just treated you out of convenience that’s all.”
Ling Yun smiled politely with a calm expression on his face.
“My name is Zhuang Meifeng, I’m…” Zhuang Meifeng was about to introduce herself as part of the Zhuang Medical Group but held her tongue when she realized that her family would no longer accept her after she broke off the engagement.
Who was this Zhuang Meifeng? She was the precious daughter of the CEO of Zhuang Medical Group, Zhuang Meima’s older sister!
Ling Yun could not care less about who she was or other people’s opinions since he was only motivated by his own intentions and whatever was done could not be undone.
Of course, there was no harm in Ling Yun marveling at Zhuang Meifeng’s beauty. He wanted to feast his eyes upon the devilishly beautiful woman.
As for rewards, Ling Yun would obviously be expecting it from Xue Meining since she was the one who begged him to save these people.
As he was admiring her beauty, Zhuang Meifeng was also full of curiosity as her phoenix eyes judged his appearance.
As the unrivaled campus belle of the Capital University of Finance and Economics, any men who caught a glimpse of her would immediately transform into a s...o...b..ring idiot.
But this 18-year-old fatty was an exception.
Even though he had been in a daze the moment he saw her face, it lasted for a very brief moment before his face reverted back to its original calm expression.
Even though he was admiring her beauty, not a hint of l.u.s.t could be seen in his eyes. It was as if he admired her as a flower or a scenery!
Nice legs… Nice waist… Nice b.r.e.a.s.t.s…
Ling Yun’s gaze moved upwards before finally landing on Zhuang Meifeng’s face.
He flashed a smile as he said, “If you’re feeling alright, then allow me to remove the needles.”
Zhuang Meifeng felt inexplicably embarra.s.sed as she imagined the scene where this fatty had been placing needles into her neck while she was unconscious and began to blush furiously.
“I’m alright, you… can remove them!”
Ling Yun nodded and before she knew it, the silver needles were all back in Ling Yun’s hands.
“I think that old man is waking up, I’m going to head over and take a look, please help yourself around…”
The reason he had come over was to remove the needles. As if he would leave his newly acquired needles on a stranger’s body and completely forget about them.
“Wait…” Zhuang Meifeng quickly grasped onto Ling Yun’s arm out of desperation when she saw that he was leaving.
“Is there anything else?” Puzzled, Ling Yun turned around.
“You’re Ling Yun, right? Since you saved my life, do you mind giving me your contact information so that I can… repay my debts of grat.i.tude in the future?”
d.a.m.n, another one asking for contact information.
Ling Yun could not help but furrow his brows together as he realized the inconvenience of not having a phone. He was definitely getting Xue Meining to buy him a phone later on when they went shopping.
However, he still had to leave her some way to contact him.
The two high school girls had already left in an ambulance and even though the old man was alive, he was in no condition to be expressing his grat.i.tude. If Ling Yun was to reject this beautiful girl who wanted to repay her debts of grat.i.tude, he would truly be a living embodiment of the spirit of Lei Feng.
There’s no harm in getting some extra benefit, right?
Even though this beautiful lady’s car was not as cool as Xue Meining’s Ferrari, she was definitely not poor since she was able to afford a car!
Ling Yun let out a chuckle the moment he thought of that and replied, “Qingshui High, Grade 12 Cla.s.s 6, just say you’re looking for Ling Yun.”
Zhuang Meifeng’s expression changed drastically as she covered her s.e.xy little lips with her hand.
“You’re from Qingshui High?”
Ling Yun found Zhuang Meifeng’s reaction hilarious and wondered to himself.
So what if I’m from Qingshui High? Does it warrant such a big reaction?
“Yeah, why?”
“Nothing, I just didn’t expect you to be a high school student since your medical skills are this amazing…”
Zhuang Meifeng did not want to mention her little sister and covered it up seamlessly.
“Give me a moment!”
She rushed to her car and scribbled her name and phone number onto a piece of paper before returning and handing it to Ling Yun. “Here’s my phone number, you… you can call me anytime.”
Ling Yun’s fingers brushed against Zhuang Meifeng’s hand as he received the piece of paper. The sensation was absolutely electrifying.
However, Zhuang Meifeng did not notice it and began speaking to him in a worried tone, “You must call me. Sun Xing’s family is extremely powerful in Beijing, they will not let you get away with this especially since you injured him this badly. I… I will risk everything to protect you!”
Zhuang Meifeng’s words were filled with determination.
Ling Yun knew that he was getting into trouble, but he did not antic.i.p.ate it to be that big of a trouble. However, his only response to her was a faint grin.
Que sera sera. Since Ling Yun had the guts to stir up trouble, he was ready to face the consequences, no matter what they were.
Not to mention that he was not the only one involved. The Little Demon Girl also played a part in the entire incident.
“Brother Ling Yun, come quick! The old man woke up and threw up two mouthfuls of blood!” Xue Meining suddenly turned around and yelled at Ling Yun.
Ling Yun waved his hands at Zhuang Meifeng and rea.s.sured her not to worry before walking towards the group of helpless medical staff.
“He threw up blood? Great, now I can remove the needles!”
The Nine Needles of The Spiritual Pivot had taken effect! At least his efforts had not been in vain.
After wasting so much time, it was finally time to leave. He still had to bring Ning Lingyu home after his shopping spree with Xue Meining.
Zhong Qingshan quickly mustered up a friendly smile as he saw Ling Yun approaching him and said, “Ling Yun, this old man has already regained consciousness but is still unable to speak due to his two broken ribs and he just threw up blood. What’s the next step?”
He described the old man’s condition in detail in case Ling Yun was unaware of the situation.
Ling Yun nodded and crouched down beside the old man before resting three of his fingers from his right hand on the old man’s wrist.
About half a minute later, Ling Yun began to remove the needles.
It was not that the old man could not be moved, it was just that Ling Yun was reluctant to follow him to the hospital.
That was because only he could remove the needles for the Nine Needles of The Spiritual Pivot. There was a designated sequence for the removal of the needles and if it was not executed properly, it may cost the old man his life.
“Alright, you can send him to the hospital. There shouldn’t be much of an issue apart from his broken ribs,” Ling Yun spoke to the medical personnel as he placed the silver needles back into the leather pouch carefully.
All of a sudden, the old man opened his eyes and stared at Ling Yun intensely as his lips trembled, seeming to have something to say.
“What… Is… Your… Name?”
The old man mustered all his strength before he finally managed to ask the question. Even though his voice was very soft, his words were clearly heard by everyone.
“My name is Ling Yun. Don’t think too much alright? Fortunately, you were in great health before the accident occurred. If not, it would’ve been nearly impossible to save you. As long as your ribs heal properly, you’ll make a full recovery!”
Of course, Ling Yun understood what the old man had in mind. Instead of taking advantage of the situation like he usually would, he just flashed a smile as he comforted the injured old man.
Xue Meining had an odd look on her face when she saw Ling Yun behaving like that. No one knew what was going on in her mind.
Meanwhile, Zhong Qingshan had the highest authority there out of all the medical personnel from Jiangnan Provincial Hospital, so he ordered everyone to bring the old man into the ambulance. As he looked at the ambulance das.h.i.+ng away, he turned around and held Ling Yun’s hands tightly, “Ling Yun, thank you so much for your help. If it wasn’t for you, we would’ve lost a life here!”
Ling Yun chuckled lightly with a calm expression as if he had done nothing at all.
“Little Ning, since we’re done saving people’s lives here, can we go shopping?”
Xue Meining grinned from ear to ear as she nodded violently, “Of course, let’s shop until we drop!”
Even though she was not responsible for saving his life, she was still beyond elated.
Ultimately, it was a life saved.
“Shall we make a move?” Ling Yun suggested merrily.
“You two aren’t going anywhere!”
A thunderous roar rattled everyone’s eardrums!
