I stormed down the mountain, took down all the big shots in the city, and the female CEO dragged me

Yu Juan led Xu Yuan by the hand all the way to the second floor of the villa, where the room was filled with the strong smell of disinfectant and herbs.

The middle-aged man lay quietly on the bed with various tubes inserted into his body, and the instruments made a ticking sound.

An elderly man wearing a white coat and round-framed glasses stood by the window, shaking his head helplessly with his eyes downcast.

"Madam, I have done my best and used every means at my disposal. Please accept my condolences."

Upon hearing this, Yu Juan froze on the spot. She stared blankly at the man on the hospital bed, tears welling up in her eyes.

"dad…"

Xu Nuo collapsed onto the hospital bed, hugging the man on the bed and crying uncontrollably.

"Wake up! Don't abandon your daughter and mother."

"Open your eyes and look, your brother is back."

"Yuan'er, go see your father," Yu Juan said, her voice choked with emotion, as she reminded Xu Yuan beside her.

A series of hurried footsteps came from the doorway, and Xu Yinsheng came up with a heavily made-up woman.

They were there to determine whether Xu Yinheng had truly passed away.

Xu Yuan took two steps forward, his gaze sweeping over his father's face. His complexion was pale, his lips were bluish-purple, his forehead was dark, and his nose was black.

He bent down, placed his fingers on his father's pulse, and pondered for a few seconds.

"He still has a pulse, who said he couldn't do it?"

"Where are you from?"

Yan Wuque's action of taking off his white coat froze in mid-air as he turned to look at the young man he hadn't taken seriously.

"You know medicine?"

Xu Yuan didn't look at him, but lifted the blanket covering her father and gently ran her fingers over his body.

"I know a little."

"Furthermore, this isn't an illness, it's poisoning."

"Poisoned?" Xu Nuo's crying stopped abruptly, and Yu Juan's gaze also fell on Xu Yuan.

Yan Wuque put his white coat back on, walked back to the bedside, and carefully examined Xu Yuan.

"Young man, do you even know what you're saying?"

"You little brat, you really don't know your place."

Standing at the door, Xu Yinsheng spoke sternly: "Dr. Yan is an expert recognized by the National Medical Association. There is no disease in China that he cannot cure."

"Do you know how much effort I put into getting him here?"

The fact that they even came is already a huge favor to me.

"Apologize to Doctor Yan right now!"

Without turning his head, as if he hadn't heard his dog barking, Xu Yuan brought his middle and ring fingers together to form a sword-like gesture and suddenly pressed down on a key acupoint on his father's body.

"Do you need me to apologize?"

He slightly raised his eyelids and glanced at Yan Wuque standing opposite him: "If it weren't for your treatment, he probably wouldn't have been so severely poisoned, would he?"

"What do you mean?" Yan Wuque frowned slightly, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes.

Xu Yuan chuckled: "I don't care if you're a bricklayer, a brick maker, or a brick hauler."

A doctor may lack medical skills, but if they lose their conscience, they will be struck by lightning.

Boom…

The sky, which had been clear just moments before, was suddenly struck by lightning.

Yan Wuque suddenly turned around, looked out the window, shuddered, and dropped the pen he was holding to the ground with a thud.

"Nonsense, utter nonsense."

His voice was tense. He turned back to Xu Yuan and pointed to Xu Yinheng on the bed.

"He clearly has organ failure; even if a god came, he couldn't be saved."

Your family is really rude.

If I had known this would happen, I would never have come for treatment.

As he spoke, he took off his overcoat, threw it on the stool, and turned to leave.

"Medical Master Yan, don't listen to his nonsense."

Xu Yinsheng walked to Yan Wuque's side with a fawning smile: "I don't know where this lunatic came from. He's not a member of our Xu family. Don't bother with him."

He turned to look at Yu Juan: "Sister-in-law, my brother is dying."

Make a phone call and have someone take care of the afterlife.

Don't worry, I'll make sure my brother leaves with dignity.

"Medical Master Yan, I'll see you out."

"stop."

Xu Yuan's icy voice echoed in the room: "You harmed my father, and now you want to run away?"

Yan Wuque stopped, took a deep breath, and turned to look at Xu Yuan.

"Young man, I understand how you feel when your loved one passes away and you find it hard to accept."

But you're making false accusations against me right off the bat. Aren't you slapping me in the face?

If word gets out, where will I put my face?

"I can let it go since you're young, but you should take back such rude words."

Having practiced medicine for decades, my reputation is what I care about most.

If you can provide evidence that I killed your father, I can apologize to you and stop practicing medicine thereafter.

If you are making baseless accusations, then I, Yan, will demand an explanation.

"You little bastard, get over here and kneel down to apologize to Doctor Yan!" Xu Yinsheng glared at Xu Yuan and angrily rebuked him.

He was previously worried because his elder brother Xu Yinheng was still alive, but now that Xu Yinheng has passed away, he is the true head of the Xu family.

After the funeral, he drove away Yu Juan's family, and the entire Xu family became his.

"But never practicing medicine is probably not an option."

Xu Yuan said calmly, "This is a human life. As the old saying goes, a life for a life."

A life for a life?

The moment those four words were uttered, the room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop; the only sound was the gasping of breath.

Xu Nuo reached out and tugged at Xu Yuan's sleeve, looking at his profile in disbelief.

"Brother, do you mean Dad was murdered?"

Yu Juan looked at Xu Yinsheng and Yan Wuque in disbelief.

Between outsiders and her son, she was more inclined to believe her son.

"Slanderous accusations."

Yan Wuque gasped for breath: "A brat who hasn't even grown his first hair is biting around like a mad dog. I think you're seriously ill."

He stretched out his hand towards Xu Yuan: "Evidence, show me the evidence."

Xu Yuan stretched out his sword finger and stirred it around above his head, with faint ripples appearing at the fingertip. He then took the opportunity to touch Xu Yinheng's brow.

It moved…

Xu Nuo, who had been standing by the bed, saw her father's eyelids twitch slightly twice.

She thought she was seeing things, so she rubbed her eyes hard and looked again.

The father's complexion changed from pale to rosy, and the bluish-purple color of his lips returned to normal.

"Bring me a basin."

Xu Yuan spoke calmly, raising her fingertips from between her eyebrows. Xu Yinheng's body seemed to be pulled, and he slowly sat up as well.

"What's going on?"

Xu Yinsheng thought the corpse had come back to life and immediately shrank behind Yan Wuque.

Yan Wuque frowned slightly, his eyes narrowed, and his lips moved: "Use qi to neutralize poison?"

"Brother, the basin is here."

Before Xu Nuo could put down the basin, Xu Yinheng suddenly opened his mouth and spat out black, foul-smelling blood.

Upon closer inspection, tiny wriggling worms could be seen in the blood.

Yan Wuque and Xu Yinsheng instinctively covered their mouths and noses. The man and woman who had just reached the door smelled the pungent odor and retreated.

What's that smell?

Could the body have already decomposed?

A man or woman can make a cold, sarcastic remark with a face full of disdain.

"I wouldn't have come if it weren't for the family fortune."

He vomited mouthfuls of blood until the blood turned red, then Xu Yuan stopped what he was doing and laid Xu Yinheng flat on the bed.

He reached into his pocket, pulled out something that looked like a brown candy bean, and put it into Xu Yinheng's mouth.

"Nono, pour some water and feed it to your father."

Xu Nuo quickly ran to the side, brought over some warm water, and poured it into her father's mouth.

"Daddy can drink water now."

Her face was full of surprise; Xu Yinheng had previously been surviving entirely on intravenous nutrition.

Cough cough cough...

As if choked, Xu Yinheng coughed twice and slowly opened his eyes.

"Dad, you're awake."

"Mom, Dad really woke up!" Xu Nuo announced this incredible good news to everyone, her words tumbling out incoherently.

Yu Juan stared in disbelief as Xu Yinheng opened his eyes, nodding repeatedly, too excited to utter a single word.

"Really... awake?"

Yan Wuque's mouth dropped open in surprise, and he looked at Xu Yuan as if he were looking at a monster.

"You're so young, yet you can use true qi?"

Who exactly are you?

"True Qi?" Xu Yinsheng didn't know what he was talking about.

"Is it that impressive?"
