From rejecting the beautiful female CEO to becoming extremely powerful

Lu Yunzhou looked at Tang Jinrou with a questioning gaze.

Tang Jinrou shook her head slightly, turned to He Yuan, and said in a calm tone, "Elder He, you are indeed quite skilled, able to detect the superficial signs of my critical illness in my pulse. But you are still far from understanding the true root of my illness."

"absurd!"

He Yuan's expression changed instantly, and his beard twitched twice. "I've practiced medicine for sixty-two years. What kind of terminal illness haven't I handled?"

"I am fully aware of the cause of Vice Mayor Tang's heart condition; how could I allow a mere child to spout such nonsense here!"

"If you delay Vice Mayor Tang's treatment, can you afford to pay for it with your life?!"

"Whether it's paying with my life or kneeling down, I'll accept it all."

Lu Yunzhou leaned forward slightly. "I don't know how you plan to proceed, but let me tell you the truth: the methods you can think of right now won't address the root of her problem, and might even make things worse."

Without further hesitation, Tang Jinrou withdrew her wrist from the edge of the coffee table and turned to look at Luo Hai and He Yuan: "Mayor Luo, I appreciate your kindness. But I have my own plans for my health, so I won't trouble you two to worry about it."

Luo Hai's smile froze.

He Yuan's noodles were alternating between green and white. He had made a promise to Mayor Luo, only to be denied to his face by a mere young man, and even turned away by Tang Jinrou.

Where do I put my face after more than sixty years?

The next moment, He Yuan's expression turned completely gloomy.

He flipped his wrist and produced a silver needle from who-knows-where. With a flick of his finger, the silver needle shot out and pierced straight into an acupoint on Tang Jinrou's chest.

Tang Jinrou's body suddenly stiffened, a muffled groan escaped her throat, and a sharp, aching pain shot through her chest.

"Vice Mayor Tang, don't panic! I will treat you immediately. Once your condition improves, it will be clear who is better!"

That old bastard, he's desperate.

He was unwilling to be humiliated in public, and he wanted to take advantage of curing Tang Jinrou to climb up the Tang family's coattails and save face in front of Luo Hai.

"You old dog, you're asking for it!"

Lu Yunzhou roared and leaped up, his right palm striking towards He Yuan's wrist.

He Yuan was prepared. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Lu Yunzhou move. He held two silver needles between two fingers of his left hand and flicked his wrist.

call out!

Two silver needles were precisely inserted into two major acupoints on Lu Yunzhou's chest.

The moment the silver needle entered his body, Lu Yunzhou felt as if he had been doused with a bucket of ice water.

The surging internal energy within him was locked in place, and the power in his limbs and bones flowed away like silk threads. He was frozen in place, unable to even lift a finger.

This old man's cultivation level was not low; he directly sealed the main channels of his meridians with two needles.

Lu Yunzhou desperately tried to break through the confinement by channeling his true energy, but the two silver needles were like two nails driven into the barrier, and no matter how he tried to activate them, it was like a stagnant pool.

"He Yuan! You haven't even figured out what's wrong with her, yet you dare to force her to have acupuncture? Are you trying to save her or kill her?!"

Lu Yunzhou gritted his teeth and roared.

He Yuan completely ignored him, focusing all his attention on putting needles into Tang Jinrou's body.

[Remember the fastest online novel website: 20 ...

One after another, with skillful technique, seemingly confident and in control.

However, as more and more acupuncture points were inserted, Tang Jinrou's complexion not only did not improve, but became frighteningly pale.

Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, his breathing became rapid and shallow, his chest heaved violently, and his lips began to turn purple.

This is a sign of a heart attack triggered by forced stimulation.

The certainty on He Yuan's face crumbled little by little, his fingers began to tremble, and he kept muttering, "No... how could this be... completely different from what I predicted..."

He never expected that his forceful treatment would not only fail to suppress Tang Jinrou's condition, but would also completely detonate the deep-seated hidden dangers.

If someone really dies, let alone the Tang family, even if the organization investigates, he won't have enough heads to lose.

"Heyuan! What happened?!"

Luo Hai panicked. Although he didn't get along with Tang Jinrou, if someone died at the hands of the doctor he brought, it would be a huge disaster.

"Didn't you say you were confident? How did she end up like this!"

Large beads of sweat appeared on He Yuan's forehead, and his hands were trembling: "Don't...don't panic, this should be a normal healing reaction, it will subside in a while..."

Just then, veins bulged on Lu Yunzhou's forehead, his teeth clenched so tightly that they cracked, and his internal energy surged wildly through his meridians like a trapped beast.

He pushed the speed of the "Creation Technique" to its limit, and a scalding stream of air churned in his chest cavity, repeatedly striking the acupoints sealed by the silver needles.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

With two crisp sounds, the silver needle in his chest was forcefully pushed out by the internal energy, bounced onto the floor and spun twice.

Lu Yunzhou felt a surge of strength return to his body, and in one swift step, he rushed in front of He Yuan, grabbed his wrist with his five fingers, and pressed it down.

The old man's joints creaked, and the remaining silver needles in his hand scattered all over the ground.

"idiot!"

Lu Yunzhou's eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was strained from the bottom of his throat, "You haven't even figured out where the root of the problem in her heart meridian is, yet you're randomly sticking needles into her body. You're not treating the illness, you're killing her!"

He Yuan's face was contorted in pain and fear as he stammered, "I... I never expected this..."

Lu Yunzhou was too lazy to argue with him, so he released him abruptly and said sternly, "Give me all the silver needles!"

He Yuan shuddered in fright, bent down to pick up the scattered silver needles on the ground, and presented them to Lu Yunzhou with both hands.

Lu Yunzhou took the needle, pushed He Yuan aside, squatted down in front of Tang Jinrou, and grabbed her cold hands.

"The ten fingers are connected to the heart."

Without turning his head, he tossed out a sentence and then inserted silver needles into the acupoints corresponding to her ten fingers one by one.

With each needle, his own true energy was contained, seeping along the meridians towards Tang Jinrou's heart meridian.

He Yuan stood to the side, looking puzzled. He opened his mouth as if to ask something, but then hesitated to speak.

As a silver needle was inserted into her body, Tang Jinrou's rapid breathing gradually calmed down.

The sweat on his forehead gradually stopped, his purplish lips regained some color, and the heaving of his chest was no longer so intense.

Lu Yunzhou let out a long breath and looked up at her: "Sister Tang, are you able to catch your breath now?"

Tang Jinrou slowly opened her eyes, her eyes still reflecting the weakness and lingering fear from before.

She nodded gently, her voice low: "It's alright... all thanks to you."

Luo Hai stood to the side, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot.

He knew better than anyone that today's plan had completely failed.

Not only did they fail to gain any advantage, they almost got Tang Jinrou killed by the people they brought with them.

If the Tang family investigates, he'll be in deep trouble.

Luo Hai glared at He Yuan with a dark expression, without saying a word, and turned to walk away.

He Yuan dared not linger any longer. Seeing that Tang Jinrou was out of danger, he quickly stepped forward, bowed deeply, and repeatedly cupped his hands to Tang Jinrou, saying, "Vice Mayor Tang, I was momentarily confused and deserve to die. Please forgive me..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Yunzhou turned his head and glanced at him.

He Yuan swallowed the rest of his words, turned around and almost ran out the gate, disappearing into the courtyard.

The living room fell silent.

Tang Jinrou leaned against the back of the sofa, feeling completely drained. Although her complexion had improved somewhat, she was still extremely weak.

She turned her head to look at Lu Yunzhou, her voice so soft it was almost inaudible: "Yunzhou, help me upstairs... I'm so dizzy I can't stand, and I don't want anyone to see me like this."

She paused, then forced a smile: "Carry me inside to rest."
