When Zhao Huachen spoke, his expression was filled with confidence. He had, after all, been a chief physician for over twenty years. As long as Sun Zhengtang's current state presented no issues, he could guarantee the man would wake up. The most crucial part was that all the credit would be his.
"Absolutely not!" Chen Zheng slowly shook his head. "The old gentleman has only locked in his Yang energy for now. His body hasn't recovered yet!"
"Western medicine is too potent and will deplete his Yang energy. I don't recommend administering it immediately!"
"Give me a break..." Zhao Huachen said with a face full of sarcasm. "Don't come in here spouting that nonsense you believe in. Treating the illness based on the symptoms is the most fundamental principle! All you traditional Chinese medicine practitioners ever talk about is this 'qi' or that 'qi'!"
"Let me ask you, if there were a car accident and someone was bleeding profusely, could your traditional Chinese medicine save them? Wouldn't you still have to rely on us?"
Hearing this, Sun Doudou immediately hesitated. To be honest, she had never really trusted traditional Chinese medicine and found Zhao Huachen's argument very convincing.
Maybe grandpa surviving really was just a coincidence! Even if Chen Zheng did save him, we should still use Western medicine to guarantee the most stable outcome.
"Alright then, I'll stay out of this," Chen Zheng said, slowly shaking his head, for he had clearly seen Sun Doudou's hesitation.
"But this needle cannot be removed."
After saying this, he turned and left with Zhao Feng.
"Mr. Chen..." Sun Doudou started to chase after him but stopped as if remembering something. "Director Zhao... I'm entrusting my grandfather to you. Please, you must make sure he wakes up!"
"Rest assured, Miss Sun. That guy is just a charlatan with no real skill. Systematic treatment still relies on us!" Zhao Huachen declared with great confidence.
Only then did Sun Doudou feel relieved, and she quickly rushed out after them.
Zhao Huachen shook his head and immediately began the treatment. The surrounding medical staff resumed their procedures.
"Director, this needle is really in the way. We need to perform other procedures soon!" a nurse said with a troubled expression, pointing to the needle in Sun Zhengtang's abdomen.
Without any hesitation, Zhao Huachen waved his hand. "Just pull it out."
How can one worthless needle possibly cure an illness?
"But Director... that gentleman just said it absolutely must not be removed!" the nurse quickly reminded him.
"What did you say?" Zhao Huachen yelled, his face full of defiance. "Whose doctor are you, mine or his? Are you defying my orders? If I say it can be pulled out, then it can! Stop arguing with me. If treatment is delayed, can you bear the responsibility?"
That needle was like a thorn in his side, making him extremely uncomfortable. Besides, Sun Zhengtang's condition has already stabilized. He refused to believe that pulling out one worthless needle would cause any problems.
When Sun Doudou chased outside, Chen Zheng and Zhao Feng had already driven away. She could only shake her head and turn back. But as soon as she returned to the ward, she heard Zhao Huachen's urgent voice, "Quick, quick! Administer the medication now!"
"Director, it's no use! The patient's blood pressure is dropping too fast!"
"His heartbeat is about to stop! What do we do?"
Hearing this, Sun Doudou's face went pale. She rushed in and immediately saw the needle lying on the floor.
She grabbed the nurse's wrist. "Who allowed you to remove this needle?"
"Miss Sun... It was the director... The director told me to take it out!" the terrified nurse immediately began to explain.
Zhao Huachen stood there, utterly bewildered. He never imagined that removing one worthless needle could cause such a catastrophic problem! It turned out he wasn't joking. That needle was really what was keeping the man alive.
"Zhao Huachen, you are too bold!" Sun Doudou erupted in fury. "If anything happens to my grandfather, I will make you pay the most painful price!"
With that, she sprinted outside as fast as she could. This wasn't the time to assign blame, but to bring Chen Zheng back. Her grandfather's life was in his hands.
Meanwhile, a jeep was speeding down the highway.
"War God, your injuries..." Zhao Feng said, looking extremely worried. Chen Zheng's complexion was terrible, and he had just consumed several Lesser Origin-Nourishing Pills to stabilize his condition.
"I'm fine."
"By the way, isn't the auction less than three days away?" Chen Zheng suddenly asked.
"I was just about to report on this," Zhao Feng said immediately. "We received news this morning that the auction house has canceled the auction for the Zhu Ling Grass!"
"Why was it canceled?" Chen Zheng frowned. "What's the reason? Have you spoken with them?"
"It's an auction house owned by the Sun Family. It's registered under Sun Doudou's name, but we haven't had a chance to contact them yet," Zhao Feng reported.
"The Sun Family?" Chen Zheng's brow furrowed slightly. He hadn't expected such a coincidence.
Just then, a Lamborghini sped up from behind and swerved to block the jeep in the middle of the road.
"Miss Sun, what do you think you're doing?" Zhao Feng asked, stepping out of the car with a cold expression.
This woman must be insane to pull such a dangerous stunt. Thankfully, he had reacted quickly, otherwise they would have crashed.
Sun Doudou ignored him and ran straight for the jeep.
"Mr. Chen, they removed the needle! Please, go back and save him!"
"Don't worry about the payment! You'll get the half of my family's fortune I promised, down to the last penny. I can even give you all the auction houses registered under my name!"
"I'm begging you, please save my grandfather!" Sun Doudou pleaded tearfully.
"You don't really think we need your money, do you?" Zhao Feng sneered.
"Miss Sun, you need to understand something. You made your choice, so you must bear the consequences!"
"We're not some lackeys you can summon and dismiss at will!"
"It's all my fault... I know I was wrong!" Sun Doudou sobbed, tears streaming down her face as she leaned against the car window. "Mr. Chen, I admit it, I used to look down on traditional Chinese medicine!
"I know you were the one who saved my grandfather. Please, just give me one more chance..."
