I lent my brother 500 yuan, and he offered his wife as collateral.

……

This mouthful of black blood had a pungent, foul stench.

It smelled like a dead rat that had been fermenting in a sewer for three years, mixed with the smell of mud and rust.

Professor Li was hit squarely with the criticism.

His well-maintained face, which exuded authority and arrogance, was now covered in sticky black filth.

There was even a blood clot the size of a fingernail hanging on the gold-rimmed glasses.

But he didn't wipe it.

He didn't even blink.

Because he heard a sound in his ear.

"drop--"

"drop--"

"drop--"

It wasn't the long, deathly wail of before, but a rhythmic, powerful beat.

That was the sound of a heartbeat.

The entire room fell silent.

Only the green dot on the monitor, like a tireless dancer, leaps across the screen, creating perfect peaks.

Blood oxygen: 98%.

Heart rate: 76.

Blood pressure: 110/75.

Apart from a slightly low body temperature, this is actually a healthier statistic than many of the young people present.

"Cough...cough cough..."

On the hospital bed, Gu Yunfeng coughed violently twice.

As he exhaled the last breath, his ashen complexion visibly regained its rosy hue.

Although still pale, it was the white of the living, not the gray of the dead.

"call……"

Gu Yunfeng took a long breath.

The sound was greedy and urgent, like a drowning person who had just surfaced from the deep sea, their lungs reopening and air rushing into their chest.

Alive.

He is still alive!

Gu Yunfeng slowly turned his head.

Although his gaze was still somewhat unfocused, it suddenly sharpened when it fell upon the young figure beside the bed.

That look in his eyes was complex. There was shock, fear, and above all, awe that came from surviving a catastrophe.

"Mr. Qin... Mr. Qin."

Gu Yunfeng's voice was hoarse, like sandpaper scraping against a table, yet it reached everyone's ears clearly:

"Hell...it's so cold."

boom!

These words were like a depth charge, completely devastating the entire ICU ward.

"It's...it's come back to life?!"

In the corner, the aunt who had been clamoring for a share of the inheritance suddenly fainted from fright.

The other relatives were terrified, clinging to the wall, their legs trembling, too weak to even run.

"dad?!"

Gu Shao Cong knelt on the ground, looking as if he had been struck by lightning.

He stared blankly at the old man who was talking to him, his mouth agape, his face covered in snot and tears.

next second.

This spoiled young master, who used to act arrogantly in Sichuan, suddenly rushed to the bedside, buried his head in the sheets, and burst into tears.

"Dad! He's alive! He's really alive! Waaaaah..."

That was an outlet.

It was a cry that released all the grievances, despair, and fear of the past few days.

Qin Feng ignored the scene of fatherly love and filial piety.

His expression was calm as his fingers quickly traced the acupoints on Gu Yunfeng's body.

"rise."

He pulled out the thirteen silver needles that had turned pitch black one by one.

With each needle pulled out, a drop of black blood would flow from the puncture site, followed by bright red normal blood.

Qin Feng casually tossed the discarded silver needles into the medical waste bin.

"Clang!"

The crisp sound of the impact finally startled the two "authorities" who were in a petrified state.

"This...this is impossible..."

Professor Li's body went limp, and he slid down the wall to the ground.

The stethoscope in his hand had long since fallen to the ground and cracked.

He didn't bother wiping the dirt off his face; he just stared intently at the data on the monitor, muttering to himself:

"Brain death and irreversible damage occur if the brain is deprived of oxygen for five minutes... This is common sense, this is medical common sense!"

"This is unscientific! This is absolutely unscientific!"

His worldview collapsed.

Decades of medical education became a joke in the face of Qin Feng's few broken needles.

Dean Liu was also pale.

The way he looked at Qin Feng was no longer that of a swindler, but rather like that of a monster in human skin.

How can someone whose heart has stopped beating, whose multiple organs have failed, and who has been pronounced dead be pulled back from the brink of death?

Is this medical skill?

This is some kind of sorcery!

"Nothing is impossible."

Qin Feng pulled out an alcohol wipe and slowly wiped the bloodstains off his fingers.

He walked up to Professor Li, who was slumped on the ground, and looked down at the disheveled expert.

"You studied healing, I studied saving lives."

Qin Feng crumpled the wet wipe he had used to clean his hands into a ball and casually tossed it onto Professor Li's white coat:

"Before sentencing someone to death, make sure to clean their glasses first."

After saying that, he didn't look at the two unfortunate brothers again.

To kill someone is to destroy their spirit.

Professor Li opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but couldn't utter a sound.

Shame, shock, and fear intertwined, making him want to disappear into the ground.

At that moment, the emotionless, mechanical voice in my mind finally rang out.

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully used "Thirteen Ghost Needles - Burning Mountain Fire" to snatch the target, Gu Yunfeng, from the clutches of death.]

[This behavior has been detected to significantly alter the causal relationship!]

[Reward received: 800 Treasure Points!]

[Current Treasure Value: 810.]

[Hidden achievement triggered: The Divine Healer Becomes Famous.]

800 points!

Qin Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but laugh.

That old man's life is indeed valuable!

They only gave us a few points when they rescued Zhao Huaichuan, and that was after deducting costs.

This time it exploded by 800 points!

It seems that the reward mechanism determined by the system is not only related to the difficulty of saving a person, but also to the person's worth, status, and the impact of saving him on the future situation.

As long as Gu Yunfeng lives, the Gu family will not fall.

As long as the Gu family doesn't fall, there will be more good shows to watch in the future.

This deal made them incredibly rich.

"Shaocong".

On the hospital bed, Gu Yunfeng weakly raised his hand and patted his son, who was still crying.

"Don't...don't cry. It's embarrassing."

Gu Yunfeng took a breath, turned his gaze to Qin Feng, and his eyes became unusually firm:

"Mr. Qin... I can't thank you enough. You gave me my life. From now on, the entire Gu family will follow your lead."

He tried to get up and bow, but Qin Feng stopped him.

Save your breath.

Qin Feng's smile faded, and his tone became calm: "Your life has been extended, but the mess left by that Blood Jade Cicada is still not cleaned up. Although the filth in your body has been expelled, your vital energy has been severely damaged. Whether you can survive this winter depends on your own fate."

"besides."

Qin Feng pointed to the mess on the ground: "Have your son settle the bill. My house call fees are very expensive."

"Yes! I'll definitely give it to you!"

Gu Yunfeng didn't hesitate at all, even feeling it was only natural: "Shaocong! Did you hear me? Take that anonymous account I have in the Swiss bank..."

"No rush."

Qin Feng waved his hand, interrupting him: "We'll talk about the money later. Let's clean up this mess first."

He turned around and pulled up Su Qingxue, who had been hiding in the corner looking at him with adoration in her eyes. "Let's go."

"Mr. Qin!"

Gu Shao Cong scrambled to his feet, ignoring his numb legs, and staggered a couple of steps after him, saying, "Where...where are you going? I'll take you!"

"Need not."

Qin Feng waved his hand with his back to him: "Go back and take a shower and change your clothes. You have an auction tonight."

After saying that, he took Su Qingxue's hand and strode out of the ICU ward.

In the corridor.

Countless medical staff were peeking and looking in this direction.

The commotion inside was too loud, and that shout of "zombie" had already alerted the entire floor.

When Qin Feng walked out, everyone involuntarily parted to the sides, making way for a wide avenue.

Their eyes were filled with curiosity and awe.

This young man just now performed a miracle that defies common medical sense.

"That...miracle doctor..."

A young nurse mustered up the courage to approach and strike up a conversation.

Qin Feng didn't stop walking; he merely glanced at her indifferently.

That look in his eyes was cold, indifferent, and profoundly unfathomable.

The nurse was so frightened that she swallowed her words, her face turning red to the roots of her ears.

It wasn't until Qin Feng and Su Qingxue disappeared from the elevator entrance that the corridor erupted in chaos.

"My God! Is she really alive? I just saw that the electrocardiogram was a flat line!"

"Who is this person? He's so young!"

"I heard his name is Qin Feng! Even Professor Li was rendered speechless by his retorts!"

"That was so cool! The way he pulled out the needle was like something out of a martial arts movie!"

In the ward.

Professor Li finally recovered. With trembling hands, he took off his filthy glasses and looked in the direction Qin Feng had left with a complicated expression.

"Does Traditional Chinese Medicine... really have such methods?"

He muttered to himself, at that moment, decades of pride shattered into dust.

……

The parking lot is downstairs at the hospital.

Su Qingxue gripped Qin Feng's hand tightly, her palms sweaty.

She only breathed a sigh of relief after getting into the car and having the strong smell of disinfectant replaced by the car air freshener.

"Brother Feng..."

Su Qingxue turned her head, her doe-like eyes sparkling:

"You're really... amazing."

She doesn't know anything about medicine.

All she knew was that those high-ranking doctors were helpless, and those fierce relatives were hoping for someone to die.

Only Qin Feng.

With just a few needles, they brought that scary-looking old man back to life.

At this moment, Qin Feng's image in her heart was elevated once again, becoming as tall and majestic as a mountain, capable of blocking all the storms of the world.

"Standard procedure."

Qin Feng started the car and smiled slightly: "Besides, this is just the beginning."

He glanced at his phone.

On the screen, the auction list sent by Su Tianxiao lay quietly in an encrypted folder.

just now.

The money is there (the Gu family's 500 million).

There's someone (that old dog, Gu Yunfeng).

We have the intelligence (the Su family's bottom line).

Even the cheat program is fully charged (800 points of treasure value).

Everything is ready.
