Chapter 183 Seeking the Ghost Doctor's Help

Meanwhile, at Nan's Hospital.

Nan Zhuoyuan stood at the door of the ward with a stern face, listening to the doctors talking.

“Young Master Nan, it’s not that we don’t want to save Madam, it’s just that her injuries are too severe. With our medical skills, we simply cannot wake her up.”

Nan Zhuoyuan's expression was grave. "Isn't there any other way?"

The doctors all shook their heads, their brows furrowed and their faces extremely grim.

Suddenly, a noise came from the distance in the corridor.

Li Xue walked over to Nan Zhuoyuan from a distance and said, "Zhuoyuan, when Madam Huo heard that Mother was injured, she specially called all the doctors from the Huo family to treat Mother, and also specially invited Director Li from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital to come over."

Nan Zhuoyuan hurriedly went to greet him and went straight to Li Chongbai, "Dean Li, please take a look at my mother."

Li Chongbai nodded solemnly, "I have already reviewed Madam's medical records on the way here. I will now examine her specific physical condition."

Nan Zhuoyuan led him into the ward.

Duan Zhu lay on the hospital bed with her eyes closed and a ventilator in her arm.

Beside the hospital bed sat Nan Qingqing, her eyes red and swollen, tears streaming down her face, looking utterly haggard.

When she saw Li Chongbai enter, she immediately stood up and choked out, "Dean Li, please save my mother."

Li Chongbai glanced at her, then quickly looked away and focused his gaze on Duan Zhu.

"Miss Nan, don't worry, I will do my best."

Then he took Duan Zhu's hand and began to take her pulse.

In an instant, the only sound in the ward was the beeping of the ventilator.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Chongbai withdrew his hand, stood up, looked at Duan Zhu's eyes, and then at the wounds on her body.

Seeing the rest of the text, his brows furrowed deeply before he slowly spoke.

"Too strange."

Upon hearing this, Nan Zhuoyuan looked at Li Chongbai with concern, "Dean Li, has my mother's illness worsened again?" Nan Qingqing also looked at Li Chongbai with red eyes.

Li Chongbai shook his head. "Logically speaking, it's impossible for the lady's heart meridian to remain undamaged after such severe injuries. On the contrary, her heart meridian is very healthy, which is why she is still alive. Otherwise, she wouldn't have lasted this long."

He took her pulse again and asked, "Who performed first aid on her immediately after she was injured?"

Nan Zhuoyuan was stunned. "Before she was brought to the hospital, she was in the deep mountains and forests, where there were no doctors and no one gave her first aid."

Li Chongbai said decisively, "Impossible!"

He stated with certainty, "After the lady was injured, a professional traditional Chinese medicine practitioner gave her emergency treatment, sealing her heart meridian, which successfully saved her life temporarily."

Nan Zhuoyuan frowned and turned to look at Nan Qingqing.

"Nan Qingqing, you were there at the time, did you see who performed first aid on Mom?"

Nan Qingqing, her face pale, shook her head and said, "When I led people to find my mother, she was lying in a pool of blood, and no one saved her. Nan Yu was in the wooden house, trying to escape."

"Finally, seeing that she had nowhere to escape, she jumped off a cliff from the back window and died."

When Li Chongbai arrived, he had already heard about this incident. Rumors were circulating that Nan Yu had become a murderer, seriously injuring Sheng Ruomei and Duan Zhu before jumping off a cliff to commit suicide.

Hearing what Nan Qingqing was saying, and seeing Duan Zhu's healthy heartbeat, I felt like something was wrong.

He inexplicably felt that Duan Zhu was alive because Nan Yu had saved her!

But now that Nan Yu is dead, there's no way to verify the truth.

Li Chongbai sighed and said, "Madam's current condition is very difficult. I can only try my best, but I can't guarantee whether it will work. If we can find out who saved Madam in the first place, I think that person's medical skills will definitely be able to revive her."

Nan Zhuoyuan bit his lip, a hint of rusty blood tasting in his mouth. His voice deepened, "Then I'll trouble Dean Li to put in the effort. As for that person, I'll have someone investigate."

Li Chongbai nodded, "It's a pity the Ghost Doctor isn't here, otherwise we could ask him to help, and he would definitely be able to cure Madam."

Upon hearing this, a dark glint flashed in Nan Qingqing's eyes. She lowered her head and said obediently, "Big brother, I know where the Ghost Doctor is. Otherwise, I'll go and beg the Ghost Doctor to save Mom."
