231: Chapter 219 Acupuncture Art_1 231: Chapter 219 Acupuncture Art_1 Lu Chuan’s eyebrows immediately furrowed as he looked up at Sato Hidenaka, “Are you sick?”

With a sneer, Sato Hidenaka said, “I think it’s you who’s sick.

As a top professional doctor in the industry, I have already made my diagnosis, so you have no need to show off here.

If Mr.

Naoki dies under your treatment, my Island Country will certainly hold your Cathay responsible!”

A surge of anger rose within Lu Chuan, and his gaze toward Sato Hidenaka grew colder.

Seeing the atmosphere turn sour, Kishimoto Haruko hastily said to Lu Chuan, “Sir, I’m really sorry, and I truly appreciate your kind help.

However, Dr.

Sato is our friend, and it’s better for him to treat my grandfather’s illness.

I will pay you a sum of money as a token of my gratitude.”

Since the patient herself had spoken, Lu Chuan couldn’t say much more and had to hold back.

Sato Hidenaka walked up to Kishimoto Naoki with a smug face and clapped his hands.

Soon, several people arrived with professional medical equipment.

Full of arrogance, Sato Hidenaka said, “I’ve come to your Cathay this time to promote our Island Country’s most advanced medical devices.

Since I’ve coincidentally encountered Mr.

Naoki having problems here, it’s a good opportunity for you to witness the power of our devices.”

He turned to look at the small yet incredibly precise devices, then glanced at Lu Chuan with a sneer, “These devices are the culmination of the world’s most advanced medical technology today, far superior to those deceiving needles from your Cathay.”

“First, let’s conduct a check-up on Mr.

Naoki!”

The people with the devices immediately began to use their portable precision instruments to examine Kishimoto Naoki.

The bystanders were quite displeased watching this person from the Island Country show off.

But the equipment he had brought did seem extraordinary, and there was no technology in the country that could match these devices, so no one dared to say anything.

Zhong Ling’er came to Lu Chuan’s side, also indignant about Sato Hidenaka’s arrogance, “This guy from the Island Country is really hateful, to dare belittle our Cathay’s acupuncture technique.

It’s infuriating!”

Lu Chuan let out a cold laugh and said, “He thinks this way simply because of his short-sightedness.

Silver needles may be simple, but acupuncture technique is not.

Moreover, this medical art has been passed down for a thousand years; how could people from such a small place understand it?”

Zhong Ling’er looked at Lu Chuan and said with dissatisfaction, “Even so, he’s taken all the spotlight today.

If someone records this and posts it online, our Cathay will be disgraced again.”

Lu Chuan smiled and said, “Don’t worry.

He can’t save the old man with these devices.

They can’t even determine the cause of the old man’s coma.”

When he had examined Kishimoto Naoki earlier, he had confirmed that the cause of the coma was due to a tiny nerve in the brain being compressed.

The brain is the most mysterious part of the human body, and to this day, humanity’s understanding of the brain does not exceed one percent.

These devices could reveal the most obvious brain conditions, but the situation like Kishimoto Naoki’s, where a hidden and minor nerve is compressed, would not be detectable by them.

It was only through the penetration of Divine Sense that Lu Chuan had found the cause.

Zhong Ling’er looked at Lu Chuan with some surprise and asked, “How can you be so sure?”

Lu Chuan said with a smile, “Because back home, I’m known as the Divine Doctor.”

“Psh,” Zhong Ling’er scoffed, rolling her eyes.

“I think you’re more like a charlatan.

With how unreliable you are, how good can your medical skills really be?

Still, the confidence you have matches that thick skin of yours.”

Lu Chuan shrugged his shoulders, “Think what you want.”

Sato Hidenaka had his subordinates perform a full-body examination on Kishimoto Naoki using the devices, his brows tightening as he looked over the feedback.

Kishimoto Haruko stood by, her face full of tension, silently praying for her grandfather.

After a long time, Sato Hidenaka took a deep breath and came to Kishimoto Haruko with a solemn face, saying, “Haruko, I’m sorry to tell you this, but Mr.

Naoki’s condition is much more serious than I thought.

He’s not simply unconscious; you need to prepare for the worst.”

Kishimoto Haruko became frantic and quickly said, “Dr.

Sato, your skills are widely recognized in the industry.

You must be able to save my grandfather, please!”

Sato Hidenaka sighed and said, “I won’t hide it from you.

Your grandfather’s condition is very rare, and we couldn’t even identify the cause of his coma.

I suspect this may very well be a new incurable disease.

His vital signs have been declining, and even the world’s most advanced technology would likely be unable to save him.”

Kishimoto Haruko was struck as if by lightning, staring blankly at Sato Hidenaka, “Is there…

really no way to save him?”

Sato Hidenaka patted Kishimoto Haruko’s shoulder, “My deepest apologies.”

Kishimoto Haruko felt her breathing become difficult, but she still managed to maintain her composure and said to Sato Hidenaka, “You needn’t blame yourself, Dr.

Sato.

I know you did your best.”

Sato Hidenaka had a certain influence internationally, and his pronouncement that her grandfather was beyond help was effectively a death sentence.

Just as Kishimoto Haruko was sinking into the agony of despair, a sneering voice rang out, “It seems that your prized precision instruments are nothing special after all, and yet you dare look down upon our Cathay’s medical arts?”

Sato Hidenaka turned his head to find the speaker and saw Lu Chuan, whom he had mocked earlier.

His face darkened as he said, “My judgments are the most professional.

What right does a charlatan like you have to critique my instruments?”

Lu Chuan snorted coldly and said, “This old man clearly still has hope for survival, yet you’ve sentenced him to death.

You dare to call your judgment professional?”

Sato Hidenaka’s face flushed with anger, “What nonsense are you spouting here!

Mr.

Naoki is my friend, wouldn’t I want him to live?

I think you’re just making a scene to get attention!”

Kishimoto Haruko, on the other hand, grabbed Lu Chuan excitedly and asked, “Sir, does my grandfather really still have a chance to live?”

She couldn’t accept that her grandfather would just die so she clung to any hope, even a false one.

Lu Chuan nodded and said, “Of course.”

Sato Hidenaka immediately said, “Haruko, don’t listen to his nonsense; he’s just trying to fool you, nothing more than wanting to swindle money from the Kishimoto family.”

Lu Chuan chuckled and said, “Since you’re so sure I’m deceiving people, how about we make a bet?”

Sato Hidenaka glanced at him, “What bet?”

Lu Chuan said, “I will treat Mr.

Naoki right here and now, and if I can bring him back, you will kneel in front of everyone and apologize to Cathay’s medical arts, and to all the Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners!”

Sato Hidenaka narrowed his eyes, “And if you can’t bring him back?”

Lu Chuan said with a smile, “Then I can offer my life to Miss Haruko, how’s that?”

Sato Hidenaka snorted coldly and said, “That’s what you said!

There are so many witnesses here, you better not try to weasel out of it when the time comes!”

Lu Chuan shrugged, “I hope you can keep to your word as well.”

Then he went to Kishimoto Naoki’s side and once again took out the silver needles.

Sato Hidenaka looked on with disdain, “I don’t believe those few worthless needles of yours can bring Mr.

Naoki back.

If curing the sick is really that simple, wouldn’t that be a slap in the face to the many famous doctors in the international medical community!”

Zhong Ling’er, who was watching the commotion, frowned slightly; she felt Lu Chuan was being too rash with the bet.

If he couldn’t save Kishimoto Naoki later, would he really forfeit his life to someone?

“I hope my bodyguard isn’t going to lose his life before he has even escorted me to Island Country,” Zhong Ling’er sighed helplessly.

The rest of the crowd all had the mentality of watching the excitement.

Although they didn’t like to see Cathay’s medicine looked down upon, it was still uncertain whether Lu Chuan really had the capability or not.

They could only hope for the best.

Without hesitation, Lu Chuan took the silver needles and stabbed them into Kishimoto Naoki’s head.

After thirteen needles went in, Kishimoto Naoki, who had been motionless, showed a pained expression on his face.

Seeing Lu Chuan’s acupuncture actually eliciting a reaction, everyone immediately held their breath, not daring to cause any disturbance.

Sato Hidenaka frowned, cursing inwardly, “Could this guy actually manage to bring Mr.

Naoki back by some fluke?

No, I cannot let him ruin my reputation!”

Thinking this, he intended to go and interfere with Lu Chuan’s treatment.

But the next second, he found both of his legs as heavy as if they were filled with lead and could not lift them at all.

His face filled with horror, thinking he had encountered a demonic monster, causing cold sweat to break out.

Lu Chuan, who was treating Kishimoto Naoki, revealed a cold smile.

He had guessed that Sato Hidenaka would not play fair, so he directly used Spiritual Power to restrict his movement and prevent him from causing trouble.

Lu Chuan then inserted a few more needles into Kishimoto Naoki’s head.

The effect of the acupuncture was such that the nerve in Kishimoto Naoki’s head that had been compressed was gradually returning to normal.

Before long, Kishimoto Naoki slowly opened his eyes, revealing a trace of confusion, “What…

what happened to me?”

Kishimoto Haruko, seeing her grandfather waking up, threw herself at him and cried, “Grandpa, you’re all right, it’s really great, I thought I’d never see you again!”

Lu Chuan put away the silver needles and said, “He’s out of danger now, he just needs to rest and recover once he’s back home.”

Kishimoto Haruko knelt on the ground, with tears streaming down her face, kowtowed several times to Lu Chuan, and said, “Sir, thank you, you are a living Bodhisattva, I am willing to give everything to repay your kindness!”

Everyone around began to applaud enthusiastically.

“Incredible, he actually saved him!”

“Now let’s see who dares to look down on our Cathay’s medical arts.

Our Cathay’s medical arts have a long history and the wisdom contained in them cannot be compared to a few broken instruments!”

“Damn, that’s so satisfying.

This bastard didn’t even regard our Cathay’s medical arts and he almost cost a life, what a scam!”

…

Sato Hidenaka, gritting his teeth while watching this unfold, “How is this possible!

I couldn’t even determine the cause of the illness, why did he manage to cure him with just a few needle pricks, this is unscientific, this is so unscientific!”

Lu Chuan turned around with a smile, giving him a teasing look, and said, “Wait until science can explain Cathay’s acupuncture techniques, the world’s medical community will surely regard Cathay with the highest esteem!”

“It’s time for you to fulfill the bet!”

Sato Hidenaka’s face turned ashen; it was obvious he didn’t want to kneel and apologize in front of so many people.

He clenched his teeth and said, “You expect me to kneel to you Cathayans, dream on!

The bet was just a joke, no one took it seriously!”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan’s face instantly turned cold.
