Chapter 429: Chapter 429: Divine Doctor Xiao, The Invincible Divine Doctor

Xiao Zheng had been irritated with Hua Youwei from the moment he entered the room. Now, as Hua Youwei continued to provoke him like a clown, Xiao Zheng’s displeasure only grew.

The Evil God was not someone to be trifled with lightly, and Hua Youwei would naturally have to pay the price.

Xiao Zheng’s expression was icy as he stepped forward with lightning speed and grabbed Hua Youwei by the collar, hoisting him up before slapping him across the face several times.

Slap slap slap!

The sound was crisp and clear.

Everyone in the room was stunned by this scene, Hua Youwei included. He hadn’t expected Xiao Zheng to actually strike him!

After recovering from his shock, Hua Youwei felt a fierce pain on his cheek and involuntarily let out a wail of agony.

"Hmph."

Xiao Zheng snorted coldly and threw Hua Youwei to the ground.

Hua Youwei hit the floor, clutching his throbbing cheek and cried out in pain. He looked up, only to find all eyes in the room fixed upon him.

Some were shocked, others amused. Clearly, his state was quite pitiable.

Normally, Hua Youwei enjoyed a lofty status within the Hua Family and was respected by everyone. He had never suffered such an indignity before and was instantly enraged.

Scrambling to his feet and retreating a few steps from Xiao Zheng, wary of another sudden attack, he pointed at Xiao Zheng and cursed vociferously, "You... you dare to strike me! Today, I’ll make sure you can’t leave the Hua family’s premises! Bodyguards, are you all dead? Go, break his arms and legs!"

Hua Youwei bellowed, his face contorted like an Evil Ghost.

However, Hua Muran suddenly shouted, "Stop!"

Hua Youwei glared at Hua Muran and said, "Are you really going to side with this outsider?"

Hua Muran replied coldly, "You were the one who was disrespectful first. Suffering a little for your actions is just desserts. Moreover, Brother Xiao just claimed that he could save my father, and none of you believed him. That’s fine, but why treat him with such contempt?

"What if Brother Xiao truly possesses some miraculous medical skills and can save my father? Wouldn’t your behavior then amount to deliberately plotting against my father’s life?"

At Hua Muran’s words, the color drained from everyone’s faces.

Being labeled with such an accusation could lead to unimaginable consequences.

Instantly, one of the seasoned power players of the Hua Family spoke up, "Muran makes a good point. Since these doctors have declared the Family Head to be critically ill with no hope left, and Mr. Xiao claims he can save the Family Head, why not let Mr. Xiao have a try?"

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded slightly in agreement.

Only Hua Youwei was still visibly furious. Yet, he was no fool and realized that opposition at this juncture would be futile.

Still feeling resentful, he sneered, "I’d like to see how you’re going to save him!"

With those words, the influential members of the Hua Family in the room frowned.

The gravely ill man was Hua Youwei’s father! At such a critical time, Hua Youwei should have been hoping for Xiao Zheng to truly save his father, regardless of any grudges. Instead, Hua Youwei’s scornful attitude and preparedness to mock Xiao Zheng implied that he couldn’t care less about his father’s life or death.

Everyone’s opinion of Hua Youwei dropped a notch.

However, Hua Youwei was oblivious to this, and he said fiercely, "If you can’t cure my father’s illness, you’re nothing but a fraud. I will definitely take revenge for this slap!"

Xiao Zheng smiled faintly, too indifferent to pay attention to such an insignificant figure. He walked over to Hua Muran, ruffled her hair, and said gently, "Little girl, don’t worry. Since I’ve said I can save your father, I will most certainly do so. When have I ever deceived you?"

Although Hua Muran had just rebuked Hua Youwei, she still harbored some doubts about Xiao Zheng’s words. She was also very puzzled as to why Xiao Zheng had said what he did. However, at this moment, hearing Xiao Zheng’s words, Hua Muran felt a sudden sense of tranquility.

It was as if she had returned to that night many years ago when she was caught in a horrifying crisis, and Xiao Zheng had appeared like a deity, rescuing her from the Bitter Sea.

"Mm."

Hua Muran nodded, her voice tinged with a nasal sound.

Xiao Zheng smiled, stepped past Hua Muran, and walked to the bedside of her father, Hua Haishan, glancing at him as he lay in a coma.

At that look, he frowned.

The condition of Hua Haishan was indeed very serious; if it had been delayed even a moment longer, even he would not have been able to save him.

"Mr. Xiao, what do you think about the Hua Family Master’s condition?" While Xiao Zheng was examining Hua Haishan’s illness, a gentle voice suddenly came to his ears.

Xiao Zheng turned to look, finding that the speaker was an elder. He was dressed simply, in cloth garments and shoes, his demeanor serene, his eyes warm and moist.

At this moment, the elder’s face also showed a concerned expression. Xiao Zheng could tell that his question was not out of skepticism, but out of genuine concern for Hua Haishan’s condition.

When the famous doctors were ridiculing Xiao Zheng just now, this elder had remained silent.

Xiao Zheng smiled faintly and said, "If I’m not mistaken, the Family Master’s illness is likely due to relapsing too many times, exhausting his vital energy, to the point where nothing can be done for him now. To put it simply, his oil has run out and the lamp has burned dry."

Being a doctor is a noble profession. Though not without deceivers, it also includes many morally distinguished healers. And this elder before him was clearly the latter. Although Xiao Zheng, being the Evil God, respected such people, he spoke earnestly.

Upon hearing Xiao Zheng’s explanation, the elder showed a look of astonishment, then nodded and said, "The Hua Family Master’s condition is indeed as Mr. Xiao described."

"Hm?"

Upon hearing the elder’s affirmation, everyone in the room showed a surprised expression.

They all knew that this elder, named Zhu Liangfeng, was an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a world-class prestigious doctor with unmatched expertise in traditional medicine, known as a real giant, who had saved countless lives! Now hearing such a renowned doctor validate Xiao Zheng’s judgement, their gaze towards Xiao Zheng abruptly changed.

Could he really save Hua Haishan?

Hua Muran’s eyes too showed an excited gleam.

At that moment, Xiao Zheng began to treat the illness. He asked everyone to step back, away from the sickbed, and then requested a set of silver needles from Zhu Liangfeng.

Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xiao Zheng took out a silver needle, flicked his wrist, and the needle was already inserted into Hua Haishan’s body.

Seeing this scene, everyone was taken aback. Was this a way to perform acupuncture? Being important figures of the Hua Family, they were well-informed and knew that during acupuncture, the usual practice was to gently twist and insert the silver needle into the body’s acupoints, not to throw it directly like Xiao Zheng had done.
