Outside the courtyard gate, a crowd had already gathered, whispering amongst themselves.

In the open space next to the jeep, an elderly man with gray hair and a pale face lay on his back, surrounded by four guards who were watching his surroundings warily.

Fortunately, everyone seemed to know the old man's identity and did not get too close.

Two middle-aged men and a middle-aged woman dressed in Zhongshan suits were squatting anxiously beside the old man, calling out to him repeatedly.

Just then, Old Master Liu and his group of old friends, supported by their parents, quickly arrived.

When Grandpa Liu saw the familiar face on the ground, he quickly said, "Old Chen! Old Chen! What happened to you?"

"Uncle Liu, you've arrived!"

The middle-aged woman looked up, her eyes red-rimmed. "My dad... he was fine in the car, but suddenly..."

He choked up halfway through his sentence.

Suppressing his anxiety, Old Master Liu knelt down and checked Old Master Chen's breathing. Although there was still breathing, it was very weak.

He immediately turned around and shouted, "Dr. Xu! Dr. Xu!"

"Old Liu, you're here!" Dr. Xu stumbled over from the hospital gate, carrying his medical kit.

Li Kaixin and Liu Jianming were also with him.

Seeing that a doctor had arrived, Li Kaixin did not rush forward.

He wouldn't be like the characters in novels from his previous life, forcibly stepping forward and doing things that are thankless and exhausting.

Liu Ling, who was behind, couldn't help but walk up to him and whisper, "Happy little brother, why aren't you moving?"

"Miss Liu, didn't you see there's already a doctor?" Li Kaixin glanced at her helplessly.

Indeed, women, regardless of age, are very fickle.

"Then you can go up and help take a look. They say that more people mean more strength!" Liu Ling looked over there with a worried expression.

Although the old man was usually quite annoying, he was, after all, someone who had watched me grow up.

Li Kaixin was amused by the girl's naiveté and reminded her, "Miss Liu, that old man isn't an ordinary person, is he?"

Liu Jianming, who was standing nearby, immediately understood what Li Kaixin was thinking and grabbed Liu Ling, who was about to speak.

"Lingling, don't make people happy by making this difficult."

He lowered his voice and then said apologetically to Li Kaixin, "Kaixin, she's a student and there are some things she doesn't understand."

"It's alright, Jianming-ge." Li Kaixin waved his hand, not taking it to heart.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ling immediately felt indignant.

The person in front of me is about the same age as me, so why is my cousin talking as if I'm the one who's being immature?

But seeing the warning look in Liu Jianming's eyes, he swallowed his words back.

Although she can be a bit willful on ordinary days, she knows how to behave appropriately when it comes to serious matters.

While they were talking, Dr. Xu had already squatted down next to Old Master Chen and started examining him with a stethoscope.

Everyone in the room stopped talking and fell silent.

A moment later, Dr. Xu looked at Old Master Liu with a grave expression: "Old Master Liu, Old Master Chen suffered a sudden myocardial infarction, and coupled with his previous chronic illness, his condition is very serious now."

He paused, carefully choosing his words: "I do have some emergency medication here, but..."

Although Dr. Xu didn't finish speaking, the faces of the elderly people and the middle-aged people present all changed.

"Just what? Tell me!" one of the middle-aged men urged.

Dr. Xu swallowed hard; sweat was already beading on his forehead.

"Old Chen's illness came on too suddenly. I'm not sure if this medicine will be effective."

The atmosphere froze immediately after those words were spoken.

Li Kaixin, who was in the distance, noticed the middle-aged man who had just spoken and was surprised. Wasn't this Political Commissar Chen from last time?

Knowing that there was no time to lose, Old Master Liu immediately made the decision: "Xiao Xu, get treatment done quickly!"

Dr. Xu nodded, rummaged through his medicine box, took out the medicine, and fed it to Old Chen with trembling hands.

Fifteen minutes later, Old Master Chen's complexion gradually became rosy.

Just as Dr. Xu was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Old Master Chen's face suddenly turned ashen, looking like he was about to collapse at any moment.

His heart tightened, and he hurriedly checked again, placing his fingers on the pulse, his face growing paler and paler.

"Mr. Liu, the medicine is too strong. I'm afraid Mr. Chen won't make it." He loosened his grip, his voice trembling. "Should we...should we rush him to the hospital?"

"What do you mean by that?" Commissar Chen grabbed Dr. Xu by the collar, about to strike.

"Enough!" Old Master Liu snapped. "Dr. Xu has already done his best. What more do you want?"

Political Commissar Chen froze, then slowly released his grip.

Grandpa Liu sighed and was about to arrange for someone to take him to the hospital when he caught a glimpse of Li Kaixin in the distance.

A thought struck him, and he immediately waved over there: "Comrade Kaixin, please come over here for a moment."

Upon hearing Grandpa Liu's greeting, Li Kaixin didn't hesitate this time and quickly walked through the crowd to step forward.

Seeing this, Liu Ling couldn't help but mutter, "Didn't they go anyway?"

Liu Jianming shook his head with a chuckle, offering no explanation. It was better for her to be a little more naive now.

When Li Kaixin got closer, Old Master Liu grabbed his arm, his voice tinged with pleading:

"Happy young comrade, I know you're capable. Could you take a look at Old Chen's situation?"

This was the first time the old man, who had come down from the battlefield, had shown such a helpless expression.

"Grandpa Liu, I will do my best."

Li Kaixin spoke seriously, then glanced at the old man on the ground before changing the subject, "However, I can't guarantee whether he can be cured or not."

Grandpa Liu took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Young comrade Kaixin, you can handle it as you see fit. I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong."

Upon hearing this, Li Kaixin didn't delay any longer and quickly knelt down beside Old Master Chen.

Political Commissar Chen, who was standing to the side, naturally recognized the young man. Although he had some doubts, the situation was extremely urgent, and he swallowed back the words he wanted to say.

Li Kaixin picked up the old man's hand, first taking his pulse, then looking at his eyes, and got a general idea of ​​what was going on.

The medicine was too strong; this sudden surge actually blocked the flow of qi and blood.

"Doctor, do you have any alcohol with you?" Li Kaixin asked, turning her head.

"I brought it, I brought it!" Dr. Xu hurriedly rummaged through his medicine box and handed it over.

Li Kaixin accepted the needles without hesitation, took them out of his pocket, disinfected them, and began administering the acupuncture.

After all the silver needles had landed on Old Master Chen, the bruises on his face slowly faded, and his breathing began to gradually become steady.

Several elderly people around saw this change and their faces lit up with joy, but none of them dared to make a sound to disturb them.

Without stopping his work or looking up, Li Kaixin said, "You guys stand further back!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Old Master Chen suddenly opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of black blood.

Then, his gaze swept blankly over the people surrounding him, and he said weakly, "I...I'm like this..."

"Old Chen! You're finally awake!"

Grandpa Liu knelt down and tremblingly grasped the old man's hand.
