105 Meeting This Fellow
The Earth Spirit Needle technique was much more powerful than the 13 Peony Needles. It was ranked 3,000th among the ten lost acupuncture techniques and could save people from the brink of death. Jian Xing’er was very curious now and wanted to see this miracle doctor’s Earth Spirit Needle technique for herself. “Let’s go take a look!” With that, Jian Xing’er quickly walked towards the hospital. When she reached the third floor, she looked up and saw that the corridor was filled with people. Everyone was focused on the ward on the right. “This is the director of our hospital. His name is Shen Qiang!” Kang Ce pointed at a man in a black suit and introduced him to Jian Xing’er.
Jian Xing’er looked in the direction he was pointing at and saw that this man’s gaze was calm and sharp, giving off an unapproachable feeling. Jian Xing’er was a little surprised. She had always thought that the director of the hospital would be an old man, but she didn’t expect him to be a rather handsome young man. “He’s the head of the Tang family!” Kang Ce pointed at an old man with slightly white hair. This old man looked to be in his sixties and was a little chubby. At this moment, he was looking at the person in the ward with a worried expression. Beside the head of the Tang family, there stood a few members of the Tang family, all of whom looked extraordinary. In addition, there were more than ten bodyguards in uniform in the corridor. It seemed that the Tang family was indeed quite impressive.
At this moment, the Deputy Director walked towards Jian Xing’er from the crowd. After nodding at Jian Xing’er, he introduced her to Shen Qiang. “Director, this is the miracle doctor I told you about previously, Li Si. We’ve all seen her 13 Peony Needles with our own eyes.” Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang sized up Jian Xing’er. Seeing that she was still young, Shen Qiang revealed suspicion. He didn’t believe that Jian Xing’er knew this long-lost acupuncture technique. “Hello, I’m Li Si.” Jian Xing’er nodded at Shen Qiang and took the initiative to greet him. However, Shen Qiang glanced at her indifferently. “Doctor Li, you’re young and promising. They’ve told me about you. If you stay behind and do a good job, we’ll pay you handsomely.” Jian Xing’er felt that this man was very cocky.
“Alright, go ahead and do your work. There’s nothing else for you to do here,” Shen Qiang said to Jian Xing’er. “Alright.” As Jian Xing’er walked towards the end of the corridor, Kang Ce hurriedly followed her. “Is this the miracle doctor you recruited?” Shen Qiang glanced at the Deputy Director coldly. The Deputy Director was stunned and didn’t understand what he meant. “She looks to be in her early twenties. She probably hasn’t even mastered the basics of medicine. How can she know the 13 Peony Needles technique? You’ve been working for so many years, but you were actually fooled by her? Or did she give you some personal benefits…” Shen Qiang stared at the Deputy Director.
“No! She really knows the 13 Peony Needles technique!” The Deputy Director hurriedly explained, “She demonstrated it in front of all of us. We all saw it with our own eyes, so there’s definitely no mistaking it, Director!” Shen Qiang sneered. “Heh! None of you know the 13 Peony Needles technique, so on what basis can you guarantee that her acupuncture technique is the 13 Peony Needles?” The Deputy Director was stumped by the question and stammered for a long time, but was unable to say anything.
“What you saw with your own eyes might not be true. It’s also possible that she used an acupuncture technique that looks like the 13 Peony Needles to mislead you,” Shen Qiang said. When the Deputy Director heard this, he frowned. “I’m sorry, Director. I was too rash!” The Deputy Director glanced at Jian Xing’er’s back from afar as he said thoughtfully, “I’ll take the time to test her and see if she lied to us.” Shen Qiang didn’t say anything else. The Deputy Director’s expression began to become complicated. Shen Qiang’s words made him doubt Jian Xing’er.
“Deputy Director, I have a good idea! We just have to give it a try to know if Li Si is a liar!” Zhang Mo leaned in front of the Deputy Director and whispered. “Tell me about it.” The Deputy Director was interested. “Didn’t the Director invite a miracle doctor back? Let the miracle doctor try Li Si’s acupuncture technique!” Zhang Mo said. “But what should we tell Li Si? If Li Si realizes that we suspect her and she really didn’t lie to us, won’t we offend her?!” The Deputy Director looked conflicted. “It wasn’t easy for us to recruit such a powerful person…”
