Chapter Twenty-Three: Even Lord Tiger Must Bow to Me!
Qin Feng extended his finger and pressed it onto the Shenting acupoint atop Gu Shishou’s head.
A strand of pure Yang energy was infused.
Under the stimulation of the pure Yang energy, the malevolent energy lurking within Gu Shishou’s body suddenly began to stir restlessly.
Though unconscious, Gu Shishou’s face contorted in pain.
His body convulsed.
Suddenly!
A wisp of black energy was expelled from Gu Shishou’s body.
The black energy was eerie and sinister.
It surged wildly in the void like a dark cloud, emitting a chilling, low growl.
Clearly enraged by Qin Feng’s actions, it swept forward aggressively!
“So it’s the lingering resentment of the Golden Buddha’s original owner…”
“Sure enough, not something good.”
Qin Feng remained calm, swiftly making his move.
Golden light condensed at his fingertip as he pointed at the black energy.
“Bang!!”
The black energy ignited the moment it touched the pure Yang energy.
Soon, it vanished without a trace.
However, even after expelling the Golden Buddha’s evil energy, Gu Shishou remained unconscious.
Qin Feng understood well that Gu Shishou’s condition was more complicated. Although the exact cause was unknown, he had previously been cursed with a sinister poison, which explained his prolonged illness.
Next, Qin Feng took out three silver needles.
With a flick of his fingers, he sent them flying precisely into three major acupoints on Gu Shishou’s body.
Swift and accurate!
Had there been a senior expert in traditional Chinese medicine present, specialized in ancient medical arts, they might have recognized this as the most profound acupuncture technique—
The Taiyi Reversal Needle!
Legend has it that the Taiyi Reversal Needle can revive the dead, a mysterious and unfathomable skill.
But it was lost to time over a century ago!
Qin Feng focused intently, continuously rotating the silver needles while channeling his vital energy.
Before long,
Gu Shishou, once at death’s door, ceased trembling and gradually regained calm.
His colorless face suddenly regained a flush of health.
His breathing steadied.
Qin Feng let out a sigh of relief.
He withdrew the needles and turned to open the door of the emergency room.
Outside, a large crowd had gathered.
Qin Feng was once again treating a patient even Director Xu was unable to cure; the doctors came to watch the spectacle.
“Mr. Qin!”
Gu Qing rushed forward, her beautiful eyes brimming with tears, anxiously asking, “Is my father... alright?”
Xu Banxia also showed visible tension. “How is it?”
After all, Qin Feng lacked formal medical qualifications.
This time, she was vouching for him.
If anything went wrong, both she and Qin Feng would be held accountable.
“It’s handled.”
Qin Feng smiled easily. “Go in and see for yourself!”
“What?”
Xu Banxia was surprised.
She immediately led Gu Qing into the emergency room, followed by a group of doctors.
There, Gu Shishou lay on the operating table, his complexion indeed much improved.
Then, astonishingly, he opened his eyes!
“Dad!”
Overjoyed, Gu Qing threw herself beside him, tears streaming down her face. “Thank heavens... Dad, you’ve finally woken up! I was so worried...”
The doctors present were stunned.
They had heard that even Director Xu had failed to cure him before!
Could Qin Feng really be so capable?
Xu Banxia was equally amazed.
Having personally participated in the earlier diagnosis, even as a medical doctorate, she had found no solution.
She was utterly baffled by how Qin Feng achieved this.
Seeing Xu Banxia looking every bit the department head, her badge clearly displaying her title, Gu Shishou naturally assumed it was she who had healed him.
He expressed his gratitude repeatedly.
“Director Xu!”
“My life is thanks to you... You are my savior!”
Xu Banxia, however, showed an awkward expression.
She pointed to Qin Feng beside her.
“Gu Shishou, it wasn’t me who cured you, but... Qin Feng.”
“Oh?!”
Gu Shishou was very surprised.
He looked at Qin Feng with emotion. “Dr. Qin, you are so young, yet possess such extraordinary medical skill—a rare talent indeed.”
“You saved my son’s life. Tell me, what do you want?”
“I will repay you handsomely!”
...
“No need.”
Qin Feng shook his head politely. “It’s simply my duty. But there is something I must warn you about.”
“Someone placed a sinister poisonous curse on you—an evil and twisted method.”
“Be cautious next time.”
Hearing this, Gu Shishou frowned deeply but said nothing further.
“Alright, I understand. Thank you for the warning, Dr. Qin!”
Then he took out a business card and handed it to Qin Feng personally. “From now on, in Yunhai City, as long as you don’t cross moral boundaries, no matter what the matter or trouble, come to me.”
“I, Gu, owe you a great debt!”
“Thank you very much,” Qin Feng replied with a smile, pocketing the card.
The surrounding doctors were envious at the scene.
“He’s lucky!”
“To gain such a promise from Gu Shishou!”
“Having Gu Shishou as a powerful backer means he can walk proudly in Yunhai from now on!”
...
Hearing these whispers, Xu Banxia’s expression grew strange.
She looked at Qin Feng coolly.
“Come with me.”
Soon, they were in the corridor.
Xu Banxia couldn’t help but ask, “What exactly did you do to cure Gu Shishou?”
“Want to know?”
Qin Feng smiled and extended his hand. “Give me five million in intellectual property fees, and I’ll tell you. This is my secret technique, not easily shared.”
“Hmph, forget it then.”
Xu Banxia rolled her eyes, helpless.
Then her tone softened.
“By the way.”
“Write me a new leave request; I’ll grant you a few days off.”
“Huh?”
Qin Feng was pleasantly surprised. “I thought I wasn’t allowed to take leave?”
“Consider this a one-time exception for curing Gu Shishou!” With that, she strode away with a cool, distant air.
Watching her graceful yet aloof figure, Qin Feng raised an eyebrow.
This she-devil...
Who would’ve thought she could be so reasonable?
...
After receiving a few days’ leave approved by Xu Banxia, Qin Feng returned to his old residential compound.
But as soon as he entered, a gang of thugs blocked his way.
Their leader sneered coldly.
“Brat, hiding here?”
“You caused trouble with Sang Biao last time; let’s see where you can run now!”
Qin Feng immediately recognized him—
This thug was the same one who had chased Gu Qing’s Golden Buddha last time and ended up taught a lesson by Qin Feng.
“So?”
Qin Feng smiled. “I taught you last time, and now you want another beating?”
“Hmph.”
The thug leader smirked maliciously. “Kid, I know you’ve got some fighting skills, but this time someone else will deal with you!”
“Just wait to die!”
“Oh?”
Qin Feng laughed. “Who’s that?”
“You’ll see, he’s here!” The thug leader pointed behind Qin Feng with glee.
In the next moment,
“Boom boom boom!”
Several black vans pulled up, packing the narrow compound tight.
Over a hundred thugs poured out.
The leader was none other than Hu Ye!
Draped in a greatcoat, his eyes sharp and fierce, exuding the ruthless aura of a seasoned underworld figure.
“Sang Biao!”
Hu Ye shouted harshly, “Who’s the brat stirring trouble this time?”
“That’s him!”
Sang Biao eagerly pointed at Qin Feng. “This brat is arrogant. Last time I mentioned your name, he didn’t even take you seriously!”
“I’ll make sure he pays!”
What?
Hu Ye’s face darkened with fury.
“Seeking death!”
“If I don’t kill him today, people will really look down on me!”
Hu Ye cursed angrily as his gaze hardened on Qin Feng.
But when he saw who it was standing there,
His expression changed drastically!
It was... him!
Qin Feng stared coldly at Hu Ye with a sneer. “Li Yuanhu, who did you say you wanted to kill just now?”
“How dare you!”
Sang Biao shouted curses. “Brat, do you think you can call the name of our Tiger Lord? Just wait, anger Tiger Lord and you’ll be minced and fed to the dogs!”
But before he finished,
“Thud!”
Hu Ye trembled uncontrollably, his legs softened.
Right there,
He knelt before Qin Feng!
