Chapter 6 The Critical Error
"Do not speak nonsense and exaggerate, Xiaofei!" Feng Wanqian reprimanded coldly. Sun Fei immediately lowered his head. However, Lin Zhenhua now saw Feng Wanqian as his last hope.
"Please, Feng Lao, administer the treatment to my father immediately. If you can help him through this challenging time, I will be extremely grateful for saving his life!" Feng Wanqian remained silent. He took the glasses from Sun Fei's hand and put them on, wearing his white gloves.
Following Feng Lao's instructions, the hospital staff sprang into action. Within minutes, a new hospital bed was brought into the ward. As Lin Zhenhua placed his father, Lin Tiansheng, on the bed, a crowd gathered around to witness Feng Wanqian's treatment.
Feng Wanqian felt the pressure in that moment, as the patient before him was unique. With thirty years of medical experience, he proceeded to insert four silver needles around Lin Tiansheng's brain following the Ghost Gate Ten Needles technique.
Lin Tiansheng, who had shown no reaction previously, suddenly moved his pinky finger. "It's working!" Liu Rumei exclaimed, only to be silenced by Lin Zhenhua's glare. Chen Ming observed Feng Wanqian's technique and acknowledged his expertise.
The crucial part of the Ghost Gate Ten Needles was the final needle's placement. Feng Wanqian proceeded with extreme caution, knowing that a slight error could have adverse effects. As he inserted the tenth needle, he aimed for the Shen Ting acupoint.
Upon inserting the final needle, Chen Ming noticed Feng Wanqian's hand shaking. Unfortunately, he had gone slightly too deep. Lin Tiansheng, who had been unresponsive, suddenly began coughing violently.
Lin Zhenhua was elated to see his father awake, while Feng Wanqian stepped back, visibly distressed. Chen Ming calmly pointed out the error in the needle placement, causing a stir among the onlookers.
Chen Ming's words shocked Feng Wanqian, but others found it amusing. Amidst the laughter, accusations were thrown at Chen Ming for questioning Feng Wanqian's expertise. Liu Rumei even accused Chen Ming of targeting them deliberately.
The situation escalated as Lin Zhenhua confronted Chen Ming, questioning his motives. Chen Ming calmly explained the error in Feng Wanqian's technique, leading to a mix of reactions from the crowd.
However, as her voice trailed off...
Lin Zhenhua, who had been surprisingly composed, suddenly convulsed twice and collapsed on the spot!
"Did you catch what I just said? If it weren't for the old man's years of practice, he would have nearly died the moment the needle was inserted just now!" Chen Ming reiterated, in response to the shocked expressions of everyone present.
Nevertheless, Sun Fei rose to his feet and pointed accusingly at Chen Ming, exclaiming loudly, "It's all because of this guy's nonsensical chatter on the sidelines!"
"That's correct!"
"Blame him!"
The other physicians in the room also swiftly directed their frustration towards Chen Ming.
