"Doctor, doctor, is there a doctor?" Seeing someone in critical condition, Shui Xiang also cried out loudly, pulling out her phone to call for an ambulance.
But at this moment, Li Yang patted her shoulder and said, "Sister Shui, don't panic, I'll go take a look."
"You?" Shui Xiang was stunned.
Li Yang smiled slightly, then walked to the old man's side and said to the kind onlookers, "Please make way, perhaps I can save him."
"Young Master Li, are you a doctor?" Everyone looked at him in surprise.
A man in his thirties sneered, his already ordinary face looking particularly ugly. He opened his mouth and said sarcastically, "If he were a doctor, his parents wouldn't have died so early."
"Hmph?" Li Yang's eyes turned cold as he looked at the man, unconsciously circulating his Wuxin cultivation technique, his gaze sharp and piercing like a sword.
The man's heart skipped a beat, his face immediately turned pale, and he subconsciously took two steps back. But he quickly grunted and said, "Hmph, what's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
"It's not about right or wrong. It's that if you say it again, I'll blow your head off," Li Yang said coldly.
Having been immersed in gambling on stones for so many years, he had neglected his parents' health. As a son, Li Yang felt guilty. This was a sensitive spot for him, and anyone who dared to offend it would not be spared.
Shui Xiang also walked over and said, "That's right, Director Qi. I hope you won't say such things again, or you won't be welcome here anymore."
"Boss Shui, alright! For your sake, I won't argue with him." Director Qi gritted his teeth, feeling extremely displeased. He took out a document and continued, "I am Qi Yuanshan, the director of the Emergency Department at the First Central Hospital."
"Wow, so he's a hospital director?"
Everyone was surprised. No wonder he spoke so harshly; he was a doctor.
Immediately, someone said, "Director Qi, your medical skills must be extraordinary. Please hurry and help this old gentleman!"
"What's the rush? Everything is under my control."
Qi Yuanshan glanced at the old man and said with a relaxed expression, "This old man's condition appears to be myocardial infarction or some other heart disease. Coincidentally, I have medication for such illnesses. Everyone, step aside, I will treat him."
"Quick, quick, make way for Director Qi!" Everyone quickly cleared a path.
Li Yang's brow furrowed. Putting aside why this fellow named Qi was targeting him with such words, just from what he could see, there was a ball of dark energy in the old man's head, which indicated it was not a heart-related illness.
"Director Qi, I heard that Western medicine nowadays also learns to take a pulse like Chinese medicine. Could you please take the old gentleman's pulse first to confirm before proceeding?" Li Yang said.
Qi Yuanshan, however, was unappreciative and sneered, "This director has been practicing for decades and has seen thousands of patients. I can tell what illness a patient has and how to treat it with just a glance. Do I need a complete layman like you to teach me how to do my job?"
"I'm not teaching you how to do your job, I'm just saying you might have misjudged the situation," Li Yang replied.
Qi Yuanshan laughed heartily, "I would misjudge? How ridiculous!"
"That's right, Young Master Li. We have nothing to say about your eye for jade, but when it comes to saving lives, please don't butt in."
The people present stared at Li Yang unhappily and said, "You're so young, why are you so restless? If you're not good at something, why do you join in the fun and seek attention?"
"Haha, everyone, stop talking. It's just a waste of time with this ignorant brat." Qi Yuanshan laughed triumphantly, waved his hand, and said, "Kid, just watch. After I give him a few doses of my special medicine, this old man will be fine immediately."
Saying that, he took out a few pills from a small medicine bottle he carried, put them into the old man's mouth, then took water from someone else to help the old man swallow them.
The crowd asked curiously, "Director Qi, we heard that special medicine takes effect very quickly. How long does it usually take?"
"Within three minutes, it will show its effects," Qi Yuanshan said confidently. As he spoke, he glanced at Li Yang, then looked at Shui Xiang. "Boss Shui, I've helped you a lot. You have to treat me to a meal, right?"
"This," Shui Xiang hesitated.
Qi Yuanshan said, "Boss Shui, if I hadn't intervened, this old man might have died right here in your establishment. Although it wasn't your store's fault, it would still have a bad impression, wouldn't it?"
"Treating me to a meal, that's not too much to ask, is it?"
"Thank you, Director Qi, this time. If it weren't for you, I really..." Shui Xiang saw that he had pushed the matter this far and couldn't refuse, so she agreed.
Li Yang chuckled and said, "He's not even cured yet, why should I treat you to a meal?"
"Don't you have eyes? I've already given the old man my special medicine, and he'll get better immediately!" Qi Yuanshan said with a cold face.
Li Yang glanced at him, "Director Qi, are you the one without eyes? Didn't you see that after this old gentleman took your so-called special medicine, not only did he not show any improvement, but his expression became extremely contorted?"
"Absurd, you brat, stop talking nonsense!" Qi Yuanshan said coldly.
But the people nearby looked at the old man. It was one thing not to look, but when they did, they were shocked. The old gentleman's face was extremely pale, and blood was flowing from his nostrils, ears, and eyes – a true case of bleeding from all six orifices!
"Oh dear, Director Qi, look quickly!"
"It's bad, this old gentleman is dying!"
"Damn it, this is too tragic! Director Qi, did you get the medicine wrong?"
"What are you all shouting about!" Qi Yuanshan said angrily. These laymen only knew how to make a fuss. The special medicine I gave him cost hundreds of yuan per pill. If it weren't for Shui Xiang treating me to a meal, would I have given this old fossil such good stuff?
However, when he turned his head and saw that the old man was already bleeding from all seven orifices, his face changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "How could this happen! What did you do to this old man?"
"What did we do? It's clearly the medicine you gave the old gentleman that caused this," everyone said angrily. "Director Qi, do you even know how to treat people?"
"I, of course, I know how to treat people."
"Then why did this happen?"
"How would I know!" Qi Yuanshan's forehead was already sweating. A person suddenly bleeding from all seven orifices was no different from a death sentence from King Yama.
Everyone said, "You're a doctor, how can you not know?"
"Exactly, Director Qi, hurry up and think of a solution! Otherwise, this old gentleman will truly die."
"I, I I..." Qi Yuanshan's mouth opened and closed, completely at a loss for what to do.
Suddenly, a voice said, "I'll do it."
