The Crazy Son-In-Law

A middle-aged doctor was even more sarcastic.

“At such a young age, what can you know? Don’t think just because those fools believe your little tricks and we will believe you as well. In front of Mr. Qin, you better show some respect.”

“Lad, stop making a scene of yourselves. Just go back and learn something first.”

“A bunch of quacks. If you can’t cure him, get lost. What are you babbling about?”

Xiao Shun cast a sidelong glance at the crowd and retorted sarcastically, “I came here to treat the patient, not to listen to your ridicule. Don’t think you are something just because you’re old. If you were that capable, would I need to come all the way from Stillwater?”

After he spoke, the room fell silent.

A moment later, a white-coated, gray-haired man wearing reading glasses trembled as he pointed at Xiao Shun and said, “What kind of background do you have? You rude country bumpkin! Get out!”

“What gives you the right to tell me to leave? If you’re capable, cure Mr. Tang’s illness now. If you can, not only will I leave, but I’ll even crawl out.” Xiao Shun said calmly.

“You arrogant-” The man with reading glasses was so angry that his whole body trembled, unable to speak.

“Nonsense, we are discussing right now. If we can’t cure him, do you think you can?” said a younger doctor.

Yan Ying saw the people arguing, and for a moment, she seemed rather indecisive.

At this time, Tang Li closed his eyes and shouted, “Let him try!”

He couldn’t see anything, and the itch on his body was unbearable. These doctors couldn’t come up with a solution, and he had already lost patience with them. Hearing them arguing beside him, he was burning with anger.

Tang Li was still a reasonable person.

Regardless of whether the young man could cure his illness, it was not right for a group of mediocre doctors to ridicule him as soon as he arrived.

Of course, he couldn’t say this out loud, because he was not sure if the newcomer could cure his illness.

If not, he would still have to rely on these doctors, who were all experts from famous hospitals in the capital.

On the other hand, he trusted his daughter Tang Shishi. Although she was a bit mischievous in her youth, she was clear about priorities and would not rashly invite an unreliable person to treat him.

Since he had spoken, everyone stopped arguing. They stood aside, coldly watching Xiao Shun, looking forward to seeing him make a fool of himself.

Xiao Shun walked to the bedside and said, “Mr. Tang, I am going to perform acupuncture on you now. Your itching symptoms may temporarily worsen, so please bear with it.”

Tang Li tried his best to open his eyes slightly to look at him. He didn’t ask what poison he had been afflicted with, but twitched the corners of his mouth and closed his eyes again, saying indifferently, “Just do it. I can endure it.”

Xiao Shun took out silver needles, disinfected them with alcohol, and opened Tang Li’s shirt. He performed the Ghost Door Thirteen Needles technique, starting with a needle in the acupoint in his armpit, followed by several needles in his palm and on the sole of his foot.

His technique was exquisite and proficient, dazzling to watch.

As a wisp of spiritual energy entered, he clearly felt that Tang Li’s poisoning was severe, and a single acupuncture session would not be enough to remove the toxins completely.

Qin Guangyuan squinted his old eyes. This needle technique seemed familiar.

Suddenly, his heart trembled, and he opened his eyes wide.

Ghost Door Thirteen Needles?! Could this be the legendary acupuncture technique of the Ghost Door Thirteen Needles?

He and Wang Ye had discussed this technique before. It was a miraculous skill, and seeing it today was indeed shocking.

However, Tang Li seemed to have no reaction. Could it be that this young man only had the appearance of the technique but not its essence? It shouldn’t be, given his skilled movements. He certainly didn’t look like a novice.

But it was also possible that the Ghost Door Thirteen Needles had been lost for a long time. How could such a young man know it?

Perhaps it was just a resemblance.

As he wondered, Tang Li suddenly grimaced and tightly grabbed Xiao Shun’s hand, “Damn it, it hurts like hell! Stop! Stop right now!”

Xiao Shun hesitated. That shouldn’t have happened. After this set of needles, it should have only caused itchiness at most. Why would it hurt?

Yan Ying’s face changed drastically, and she screamed, “Didn’t you hear him telling you to stop?!”

The other doctors started to mock and ridicule.

“Tang told you to stop, are you deaf? You won’t be able to handle the consequences if something happens!”

“I told you, this kid was just trying to attract attention. You didn’t believe me. Now what?”

“An ignorant fool! What a disgrace. If you see him again, call the police! He’s a swindler.”

“…”

Xiao Shun ignored their words, inserted the last needle into the acupoint on Tang Li’s foot, and channeled spiritual energy before stopping.

At this moment, Tang Li was trembling all over, his veins bulging, looking extremely pained.

“Mr. Qin, what should we do? Please think of a way to save my husband!” Yan Ying, looking terrified, tearfully pleaded with Qin Guangyuan.

Qin Guangyuan quickly stepped forward, removed the silver needles one by one, and Tang Li gradually calmed down.

Everyone watched as Xiao Shun sat there expressionless, sweat forming on his forehead.

“Aren’t you leaving now? Are you waiting for someone to kick you out?”

“Shameless!”

Slap!

Yan Ying unexpectedly slapped him across the face, “If anything happens to my husband, I’ll make you pay with your life!”

“Are you so eager for your husband to die?” Xiao Shun’s gaze flashed with a sharp, cold light as he looked at her.

His anger surged, reaching an unbearable point.

Yan Ying’s face changed instantly, unable to contain her rage, she exclaimed, “What nonsense are you spouting! Guards, lock him up! Call the police!”

“Yes, people like him are a menace to society. Let him spend a few years in prison; it’ll be a service to the people!”

“Disgrace to the medical profession!”

Others chimed in.

At this point, Tang Li waved his hand weakly and said, “Forget it, I’m fine. Let him go. This young man didn’t mean it. He should go back and study more. Give these young people a chance. Besides, he is a friend of Shishi. For Shishi’s sake, let’s just drop it this time.”

“Mr. Tang, you’re too kind-hearted. People like him won’t learn their lesson. As soon as he leaves, he might go and harm others.”

“That’s true.”

Tang Li closed his eyes, his voice full of authority, “I’ve already said it, let him go.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Get out of here!” Yan Ying glared fiercely, angrily scolding Xiao Shun.

Xiao Shun gave Tang Li a meaningful glance, put away his silver needles, and left the room.

Just after stepping out of the villa, he heard Tang Li’s pained scream.

Xiao Shun instinctively looked back and shook his head helplessly.

He couldn’t help but touch the cheek that had been slapped, still burning hot, and muttered to himself, “Now Tang Shishi owes me a billion for this slap.”
