Chapter 424 A Short-sighted Person Cannot See the Big Picture
Li Yundong"s casual words seemed to be testing his medical skills, but it made the proud and arrogant young overseas returnee choke on his rage.
He felt a surge of anger. Subconsciously, he wanted to retort, but as soon as he was about to speak, he became alert. He secretly stole a glance at Liu Fei"er, who was beside him, and thought to himself, "This b.a.s.t.a.r.d is so uncultured. I"m an outstanding student who has returned from Harvard, so I can"t lower myself to the same level as him."
The young man tidied up his clothes with a polite smile on his face and said, "How can I know if she is dead or not if you won"t let me check her?"
The agent, Sister Hong, looked at him and secretly praised him. "He is a well-educated person after all! His behavior is so refined!" Thinking of this, she couldn"t help rolling her eyes at Li Yundong and thinking, "Meanwhile, some other Chinese are really uneducated. This has nothing to do with him, but he still wants to interfere. Humph, doesn"t he know that it"s he himself who is losing face?"
Li Yundong glanced at the young man and suddenly asked, "Hey, what"s your surname?"
There was a sense of superiority and arrogance present in the reserved look of the young overseas returnee. Like a city man who had broadened his horizons, he looked at the rustic countryman and said, "My name is Xohuade D. Smith!"
Li Yundong smiled lightly and said, "Well, Mr. Shi, since you are a doctor, please come and have a look."
The proud and reserved smile on "Mr. Shi""s face suddenly froze. He blurted, "It"s Mr. Smith, not Mr. Shi!"
Li Yundong nodded and smiled. "I know, Mr. Shi!"
When Liu Fei"er beside them saw Li Yundong toying with this fake foreigner, somehow she recalled Li Yundong"s act of serving as a waiter in the teahouse and couldn"t help cracking up at the memory.
As she laughed, the fake foreigner and the agent, Sister Hong, turned to look at her in surprise, not understanding how she could laugh in such a situation.
Liu Fei"er also noticed that she was being impolite. She quickly turned her face and lowered her head, and her expression was tight, as if her mother had just died. Even so, her eyes kept slipping to Li Yundong"s face from time to time.
Although she had been feeling very scared and fl.u.s.tered, when she found that Li Yundong could be so calm, especially in this case, where he could even make fun of this fake foreigner with a faint smile at the corners of his mouth, she felt relieved. "He must have a solution, right?"
Although she hadn"t known Li Yundong for a long time, she had always felt that there was an inexplicable power in the man, making her feel at ease.
The expression on the face of "Mr. Shi" became a little ugly in response to Liu Fei"er"s sneer. He stared at Li Yundong unkindly and said, "I"m a doctor. Let me check her!"
Li Yundong let go of Cao Kefei"s hand and said neutrally, "Go ahead."
The fake foreigner frowned and said, "I am not a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine. I don"t know how take her pulse!"
Li Yundong looked at him strangely. "There are plenty of Western doctors who check the pulse through the wrist. You don"t even know how to do that?"
The fake foreigner"s face turned a little red. He glared at Li Yundong and reached out to touch Cao Kefei"s neck artery. He felt it for a while before suddenly exclaiming, "My G.o.d! She has no pulse!"
Li Yundong suddenly laughed. "Oh! So it turns that you do know how to take someone"s pulse!"
The fake foreigner spat angrily, "Are you kidding me? This person has no pulse. You have to do chest compressions quickly!"
The smile on Li Yundong"s face slowly faded. He looked at the fake foreigner with a little sympathy and said, "Forget it, Mr. Shi. Let me handle this. You can"t do it."
When the fake foreigner heard this, he immediately forgot to keep up his polite act and asked angrily, "What did you say? I can"t do it? I"m a Ph.D. in medical science at Harvard. Who are you? Do you have a medical license? Do you know how to cure diseases and save people? This is a life, and you don"t have the right to interfere! Get out of the way, and don"t make trouble if you don"t know medicine!"
The agent, Sister Hong, also said to Li Yundong with a cold face, "Yeah, get out of the way. Why can"t you understand this? It"s true that a short-sighted person cannot see the big picture! Do you know what medicine is? Do you know what"s wrong with Cao Kefei? She was born with heart disease. Get out of the way. If she really dies, you will be responsible for it!"
The fake foreigner added threateningly, "If you don"t get out of the way, you will be responsible for her death. You will be spending the rest of your life in prison when she pa.s.ses!"
Li Yundong glanced at him and sighed helplessly. "You think you understand her condition, but do you know what"s going on with her?"
The fake foreigner sneered, "Are you deaf? Didn"t you hear that it was heart disease just now? This needs treatment in a hurry and we need to maintain the ventilation in the room. Her heart has already stopped beating. It"s essentially murder to delay treatment for even one more second!"
Li Yundong shook his head and said, "No, she hasn"t had a heart attack."
The fake foreigner laughed spitefully. "What the h.e.l.l do you mean?"
Li Yundong still did not let go of Cao Kefei"s wrist, and he kept transferring Yuanyang Qi into her body to maintain her vitality. "I have just found out that Cao Kefei"s innate soul is missing. Normal people have three transcendent components and the seven material components of the human soul, but she only has one transcendent component and three material ones. Because of her congenital lack of souls, she lacks Essence, which has caused her heart disease. Moreover, the remaining components have been broken up, and her current components are wandering outside, so her body is almost dead..."
The agent, Sister Hong, and the fake foreigner couldn"t help laughing when they heard this.
Sister Hong tried to stifle her laughter enough to say, "What a joke. How can you believe such superst.i.tious things? The three transcendent components and the seven material components of the human soul! Ridiculous! You don"t know medicine, do you? How dare you try to fool us with such childish nonsense! Hey! Tell us, which transcendent component and material components of the human soul does Cao Kefei have?"
Li Yundong took no notice of Sister Hong"s sarcasm and mockery. He added seriously, "The Heaven-Soul of people is made up of the Divine Soul, the Earth Soul, and the Fate Soul. There is Qi-Soul. The first Soul is the Divine Rush, and the second Soul is the Wise Spirit, and the third Spirit is the Qi, and the fourth Spirit is the Power, and the Five Soul is the center, and the sixth soul is the Spirit, and the seventh soul is the YIng. Of the Heaven-Soul, President Cao only has the Fate Soul. The Divine Soul and the Earth Soul are not in her body. Among the Qi-Soul, the Qi, the Power, the Spirit, and the Ying are not in her body."
Sister Hong sneered upon hearing this. She said, "How can you be so reasonable as to say this? It"s a pity that a short-sighted person cannot see the big picture! I hadn"t expected you to be so young and to be even more superst.i.tious than an old man!"
The fake foreigner could not help laughing and saying, "Hey, are you still living in the Qing Dynasty? Where"s your braid?"
Li Yundong was furious in his heart. In the past, if he had used his full eye power to stare at someone in front of him, it would have made the person"s heart beat violently and spit out a mouthful of blood. But now, not only had Li Yundong"s cultivation improved, but his temperament had also slowly mellowed out. He just glanced at the fake foreigner indifferently.
Although it was only a glance, Li Yundong, who had experienced several battles and experienced all kinds of hardships, had a majestic momentum, and that look was enough to sweep away the fake foreigner"s laugh and made him not dare to make a sound again.
Li Yundong didn"t want to waste attention on him and the agent. He let go of Cao Kefei"s hand and placed his palm on her head. His other hand reached out and undid her collar b.u.t.ton, revealing a large patch of snow-white skin.
Seeing this, Sister Hong couldn"t help but be angry and she asked, "What do you want to do?"
The fake foreigner looked at the bewitching sight of Cao Kefei"s chest. He couldn"t help but be dazzled for a moment, but he soon heard Sister Hong"s reproach. He immediately came to his senses and stepped forward. He imitated Sister Hong like a parrot as he said, "What are you doing?"
Li Yundong didn"t look back. He simply snorted and said, "Watch carefully!"
As he said this, all the Zhenqi in his body rushed from his palm into Cao Kefei, and his other hand was like a bee gathering pollen from flowers. His five fingers all quickly began pointing and poking at each of Cao Kefei"s acupoints on her chest.
The fake foreigner wanted to stop Li Yundong, but he was intimidated by Li Yundong"s power and didn"t dare to go forward. The same went for Sister Hong, the agent. She turned to Liu Fei"er and asked in a low voice, "Where did this man come from? How did he know you were here?"
Liu Fei"er didn"t know how to tell her. Seeing her hesitation, Sister Hong couldn"t help but scold angrily, "Did you ask him to come here?"
Seeing that she couldn"t hide the truth, Liu Fei"er just bit her lip and nodded her head gently.
Sister Hong immediately went crazy and began berating her angrily. "How do you know such a person? Did Cao Kefei introduce you? Why did you ask him to come here?"
Liu Fei"er began explaining quickly, "No, Sister Hong. President Cao asked me to call him here. Moreover, he"s very powerful. Really, very powerful. I"ve seen what he can do with my own eyes!"
Sister Hong suddenly turned around, pointed at Li Yundong, and said angrily, "Is that so? Just pretending to be some magic man?"
As she spoke, she saw Li Yundong"s palm press against Cao Kefei"s head. Without much effort, Cao Kefei actually slowly stood up. However, her eyes were still tightly closed and her face was as pale as a sheet of paper. Her skin was frighteningly pale, as though she had been drained of blood.
Sister Hong was at a loss for words for a while, and the people who were watching the crazy scene from the door also became excited, whispering, "Hey, this is like magic!"
"F*ck, is this real? What is going on?"
"Are we on a film set?"
Liu Fei"er also widened her eyes and looked at the scene in front of her with an excited expression. At this moment, she was certain that the superior who Cao Kefei had always praised was definitely someone who was extremely knowledgeable. He would definitely be able to save Cao Kefei!
Liu Fei"er couldn"t help gripping Sister Hong"s hand as she whispered excitedly, "Look, Sister Hong! look! I said that he had great magical power!"
Sister Hong just spat back, "Bulls.h.i.t! This is magic? This is superst.i.tion, and these are tricks!" She pointed to the people who were watching from the doorway and shouted, "Do you believe this cr*p? In this era, why are you still doing this? This kind of person just belongs in a jail cell!"
She was talking loudly when Li Yundong suddenly shouted "ha!" and "humph!". He then shouted for a third time, saying, "Cao Kefei, your soul comes back! Your spirit comes back!"
In the blink of an eye, everyone saw the curtains on the balcony suddenly be lifted up high. Cao Kefei"s body trembled violently, and after a while, she let out a groan. Her long eyelashes fluttered slightly and she slowly woke up.
The crowd burst into an uproar!
The fake foreigner was stunned, and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He couldn"t understand why this lady, who had not had any pulse just a moment ago, had come back to life in a flash without any treatment.
Sister Hong was even more stunned and gaped at Cao Kefei. She couldn"t say a word.
Li Yundong supported Cao Kefei with one hand and propped her against the bed. Then, he glanced at the fake foreigner and said, "You, a foreigner in the Chinese style, don"t understand all of this. I can understand your ignorance..." As he said this, he turned his head to look at Sister Hong and shook his head slightly. "But you, as a Chinese person, think that the ways of our ancestors are all just superst.i.tion. I can"t understand it!"
Sister Hong"s expression suddenly turned ugly. She opened her mouth and was about to retort when she heard Li Yundong sigh, "Alas, but you are right!"
Sister Hong asked automatically, "What do you mean?"
Li Yundong said meaningfully, "A short-sighted person cannot see the big picture!"
