Swoosh!
A roll of toilet paper shot out, hitting Chen Xingxian's back directly, preventing the tragedy from happening.
"Why did you save me? Don't I even have the freedom to die?" Chen Xingxian sat on the ground, holding his daughter and crying uncontrollably.
This scene happened to fall into the eyes of the Infinite Immortal Doctor, who had chased after them.
He rushed to the car in three steps and pointed at Gu Chen, shouting, "You unethical quack! Since you have the ability to save people, why didn't you? Are you going to watch Mayor Chen and his daughter die?"
"Even if he didn't trust you before, there must have been a reason for it."
"All doctors in the world have a compassionate heart. How can you just stand by and watch someone die?"
Nonsense!
Gu Chen didn't even glance at him, raised his hand, and slapped him, sending him flying.
Liu Hanyan's face turned frosty. "Infinite Immortal Doctor, I respect you as my senior, so I won't argue with you. But if you dare to disrespect Gu Chen again, don't blame me for being rude."
"Others may fear you, but the Liu family doesn't!"
"You... You're from the Liu family, one of the five great families in the capital?" The Infinite Immortal Doctor was astonished.
Liu Hanyan raised her chin slightly. "Indeed, I am Liu Hanyan, the eldest daughter of the Liu family."
"This..." The Infinite Immortal Doctor regretfully slapped himself.
It wasn't that he feared the Liu family's power, but he regretted his rashness.
If he had known earlier that Gu Chen was brought by the eldest daughter of the Liu family, he wouldn't have underestimated him, and might even have discussed the patient's condition to avoid the tragedy.
But he interrupted Chen Xingxian before he could introduce him.
"I'm also responsible for that girl's death!"
"I'm known as a divine doctor, yet I've misled people and caused lives to be lost. I deserve to die!"
The more he thought about it, the more regretful he became. He slapped his forehead in an attempt to atone for his sins with death.
Suddenly, a figure flashed out.
A kick landed on the Infinite Immortal Doctor's abdomen, sending him flying more than ten meters away.
Gu Chen stood with his hands behind his back.
This kick wasn't light.
The Infinite Immortal Doctor spat blood, clutching his stomach, trembling as he got up. "I have caused the girl's death. What face do I have to live in this world?"
"Keep your worthless life so you can save a few more people and redeem yourself."
After saying that, Gu Chen walked towards Chen Xingxian and took the girl from him, laying her flat on the ground.
"That old man, I'll borrow your silver needles!"
Was he going to save her?
Upon hearing this, the Infinite Immortal Doctor ignored the pain in his abdomen, rushed over, and respectfully handed over the silver needles.
Standing aside, he observed humbly.
Liu Hanyan also became interested and quickly got out of the car.
"Gu... Gu Divine Doctor, can... can my daughter still be saved?" Chen Xingxian asked cautiously.
He really wanted to ask Gu Chen why he suddenly changed his mind.
But he was afraid of angering him, so he temporarily suppressed his doubts.
Gu Chen lifted the girl's clothes, revealing her abdomen. His hands moved swiftly, and the silver needles shimmered.
In an instant, more than a dozen silver needles fell.
"Tianyan's Forty-Nine, one of Renwang's tactics."
"Is... is this the Renwang Needle that has been lost since ancient times?" The Infinite Immortal Doctor was shocked, his eyes full of greed.
Ancient Renwang, deduced from the Great Dao, took a total of forty-nine years to comprehend this needle technique.
It is said that as long as there is a strand of vitality left in a person, they can be brought back to life with this needle technique.
Unfortunately, it has been lost since the time of the Shang Dynasty.
The Infinite Immortal Doctor also learned about it from ancient texts. He never expected to have the chance to witness it in this lifetime.
Truly, it was a blessing from heaven, not in vain!
"She's... she's awake!"
Chen Xingxian was overwhelmed with excitement.
He grabbed the Infinite Immortal Doctor's arm so hard that it almost made the old man jump in pain.
"As expected! Gu Chen never disappoints!"
Liu Hanyan silently recited in her heart, feeling proud, and secretly glanced at Gu Chen's profile, her cheeks turning slightly red.
"Don't celebrate too early. It's just temporary relief. To completely cure her, we'll need the Five Elemental Spirit Medicines."
Gu Chen poured cold water on them.
Chen Xingxian immediately became nervous again. "May I ask, Gu Divine Doctor, what exactly are the Five Elemental Spirit Medicines? I'll spare no expense to find them."
The Infinite Immortal Doctor coughed and reminded him, "Mayor Chen, the Five Elemental Spirit Medicines are rare and hard to come by. They can't be bought with money alone."
Even though he had practiced medicine for many years, he had only seen the Five Elemental Spirit Medicines a few times, let alone collected them.
Which person who possessed the Five Elemental Spirit Medicines didn't treasure them as if they were their own lives?
Those were genuine treasures for longevity.
"Is... is my daughter really beyond saving? She's not even ten years old!" Chen Xingxian's vision darkened, and he almost fell down.
"Hmph!"
"Do you think I'm like this old man?"
"Don't worry, your daughter won't have any problems before she turns twenty. As long as you find the Five Elemental Spirit Medicines during this time, it'll be fine."
Gu Chen glared at him discontentedly, still feeling annoyed about their disrespect earlier.
"Hehe, what Gu Divine Doctor said is true. It's all because of my lack of skill."
The Infinite Immortal Doctor smiled awkwardly, not getting angry, and lowered his posture to the extreme.
"Sigh..."
Gu Chen heaved a long sigh, stood up, and said to Liu Hanyan, "Take me back."
Only at this moment did Liu Hanyan notice that his lips were pale, his spirits low, and his hands trembling behind his back.
While deeply alarmed, Liu Hanyan calmly stepped forward and supported his arm, letting him lean against her.
Seeing that Chen Xingxian was about to speak, Liu Hanyan quickly preempted, "Mayor Chen, there's no need to thank us too much. You should take care of your daughter first. It's not too late to say other things after she recovers."
Chen Xingxian nodded gratefully.
Just as the two were about to get into the car, the Infinite Immortal Doctor caught up with them.
"Miss Liu, Gu Divine Doctor, I..."
The Infinite Immortal Doctor's old face flushed red, constantly rubbing his hands, seeming hesitant to speak.
Liu Hanyan didn't have a good expression for him.
If it weren't for his interference, there wouldn't have been so much trouble.
"Don't waste time, give him your business card."
Gu Chen weakly whispered in her ear.
Hearing his voice, Liu Hanyan felt worried and quickly took out a business card to hand over.
Then they got into the car and quickly left.
"Pfft!"
Gu Chen couldn't hold on any longer, his blood roiling, spewing out like mist.
Before he could even say a word, he passed out.
"Gu Chen... Gu Chen, don't scare me!"
Liu Hanyan was shocked and panicked, slapping the driver's seat and shouting, "Quick, back to the hotel! Don't mind the red lights, just go through them all for me!"
The driver, with a background in racing, handled the business car with ease.
There was no need to worry about safety.
If it weren't for the fact that the business car could only speed up to 130 kilometers per hour, he might have stepped on the gas pedal harder.
"Gu Chen, I won't allow anything to happen to you. You must hold on!"
Liu Hanyan had never been so worried about someone before.
Her nails dug deep into her flesh.
"If I had known that letting you save someone would come at such a cost, I would never have agreed."
Tears rolled down her cheeks, staining her beautiful eyes red.
A sense of vulnerability, fear, and despair emerged in her heart.
It reminded her of the terrifying scenes she had experienced as a child.
It was a memory she never wanted to recall in her lifetime...
