79: Chapter 79 Treating the Dead_1 79: Chapter 79 Treating the Dead_1 The strong man said weakly, “My whole body aches.”

Lu Chuan observed the strong man’s body and took his pulse, finding that this person was a martial artist and had reached at least the level of a Grade 1 Grandmaster.

“Your pulse is a bit strange, very chaotic.

Have you eaten anything unusual recently?”

The strong man shook his head, “No, I just woke up today feeling sore all over and without any strength.

I don’t know what’s wrong.”

Lew Qingqing cursed from the side, “Don’t they all say your acupuncture is especially powerful?

Hurry up and treat my cousin with it.”

Lu Chuan glanced at her, “Why are you in such a hurry?

Could it be you have some other motive?”

Lew Qingqing looked guilty, “Stop talking nonsense!

I’m just worried about my cousin’s condition!”

“Then be quiet and don’t disturb me while I’m diagnosing!” Lu Chuan scolded.

Lew Qingqing opened her mouth but ultimately didn’t say anything more.

Lu Chuan examined the strong man carefully but could only sense that his pulse was chaotic and his breath was weak; he couldn’t diagnose the illness.

He looked at Zhou Siming, his eyes asking for suggestions.

Zhou Siming also shook his head discreetly, equally clueless.

“Looks like I can only try acupuncture.”

Lu Chuan took out his acupuncture kit, drew a silver needle, and decided to observe the strong man’s reaction first.

As he inserted a needle, he asked, “Do you feel anything?”

The strong man shook his head.

Lu Chuan inserted another needle, “And now?”

As the strong man was about to speak, a bizarre noise came from his throat, and he sharply inhaled cold air, his eyes bulging, body stiffening, and trembling uncontrollably.

Lu Chuan furrowed his brow and quickly felt the strong man’s neck, finding his life force rapidly draining away.

Before he could act, the strong man kicked twice and lay motionless.

Lu Chuan checked the strong man’s condition again and, finding no pulse, his expression changed dramatically.

Seeing this, Lew Qingqing rushed over, “Cousin!

What happened to you?

Say something, cousin!”

She reached out to check his breathing and found no breath left in him.

“Murder!

Hanging Gourd Medical Hall has committed murder!”

Lew Qingqing, furious, grabbed Lu Chuan, “You killed my cousin, you murderer!”

The surrounding crowd turned fearful.

“To think someone could die from treatment, this is terrifying!”

“Wasn’t it said that doctors at Hanging Gourd Medical Hall were Divine Doctors?

How could this happen?”

“That must have been exaggerated.

I thought Hanging Gourd Medical Hall was as amazing as the rumors, so I came from afar to seek treatment.

I didn’t expect to witness a death upon arriving.

Who would dare to see a doctor here now?”

…

Zhou Siming, Mu Nanqing, and others all wore solemn faces, not understanding the situation.

At that moment, a group of journalists carrying cameras and microphones ran in.

The person leading them was Xiao Yun!

“I didn’t expect Hanging Gourd Medical Hall to be all talk and no skill, actually killing a patient!

Such a corrupt medical establishment must be exposed.

It’s good that I and these journalist friends happened to pass by.

Today we will promote justice!”

The journalists immediately got busy.

Lu Chuan’s brow furrowed deeply; he was still unclear about what was happening, but as soon as Xiao Yun arrived with the journalists, he suddenly realized.

It seemed he had fallen right into the trap set by Xiao Yun and Lew Qingqing!

Xiao Yun sneered at Lu Chuan, “Lu Chuan, if you’re incompetent, don’t treat people.

Now look what you’ve done, you’ve killed someone!

Your medical skills are questionable, and who knows, maybe the medicine you sell is poisonous.

Once this news breaks out, let’s see who would still buy your medicine!”

Lu Chuan’s expression was icy, “You can’t compete with me, so you resort to these despicable methods?”

Xiao Yun sneered, “Don’t be ridiculous, who is competing with you?

You are the one who killed the patient, don’t drag me into it!”

Lew Qingqing chimed in, “You quack, if you’re not capable, don’t treat people.

This is murder!

An eye for an eye!

You must give an explanation for my cousin’s death!”

Lu Chuan glanced at the strong man who had already stopped breathing, then suddenly revealed a mocking smile, “Who said I killed someone?”

Lew Qingqing pointed at the man lying on the ground, “He’s already cold, and you say you haven’t killed anyone?

Do you think we’re all fools?”

The people around nodded, thinking Lu Chuan’s statement was irresponsible.

Xiao Yun snorted, “Don’t be stubborn, you killed him right before everyone’s eyes, and there are so many cameras here, you can’t escape!”

Lu Chuan said calmly, “My treatment is not yet finished, and he is not dead.”

The crowd was stunned.

Xiao Yun and Lew Qingqing exchanged glances, their eyes flickering with panic.

Xiao Yun said, “Who are you fooling?

The man doesn’t even breathe anymore, what is it if not death?”

“Exactly, you can’t deny it.

My young cousin has been killed by your treatment, and you must pay with your life!” Lew Qingqing shouted.

Lu Chuan said with a smile, “Don’t be anxious; I’ll return to you a cousin who’s full of life.”

Then, he looked at Mu Nanqing, “Sister-in-law, please fetch a knife from the kitchen.”

Mu Nanqing looked puzzled, “What do you need a knife for?”

Lu Chuan replied, “To treat this ‘cousin’.

Just bring it.”

Mu Nanqing had no choice but to nod, “Alright, I’ll get it.”

Soon after, Mu Nanqing returned with a fruit knife and handed it to Lu Chuan.

Everyone was puzzled.

Xiao Yun furrowed his brows, “I’ve never seen someone use a knife for treating illness, what on earth are you up to!”

Lu Chuan walked over to the burly man with a smile, squatting down, “Just watch!”

Then he raised the fruit knife and was about to stab it into the burly man’s thigh.

Lew Qingqing’s face changed drastically, and she hurriedly rushed over to stop him, “What are you doing!

My cousin is already dead, and now you want to stab him with a knife, you are too malicious!”

Lu Chuan said, “I’m treating him.

This is the latest bloodletting therapy, guaranteed to work.

Move aside quickly, don’t you want your cousin to come back to life?”

Lew Qingqing stretched out her hand to block Lu Chuan, “You’re talking nonsense!

Not only did you kill my cousin, but now you’re even going after his corpse, you devil!”

She turned to the crowd, “Help me, everybody!

I only had some disputes with this guy, he wanted me to sleep with him and I refused, so he cruelly killed my cousin.

Now he wants to chop up my cousin’s body with a knife, please catch this bastard!”

The crowd became agitated.

“This guy is too despicable, just because she wouldn’t sleep with him, he kills her cousin?”

“Damn it, this so-called Divine Doctor is actually a beast in human skin, I’m so angry!”

“Let’s all go at once, execute this son of a bitch on the spot!”

…

Seeing the crowd stirred up by Lew Qingqing, Lu Chuan didn’t hesitate.

He pushed Lew Qingqing away and stabbed the fruit knife into the burly man’s thigh.

The burly man immediately woke up, screaming in agony.

“My leg, my leg!”

Those who had wanted to rush forward and execute Lu Chuan on the spot were all stunned.

“He…

he really came back to life!”

“That’s not coming back to life, right?

This damn thing never died at all!”

“Was this guy pretending to be dead just now?”

…

Seeing the burly man waking up, Lew Qingqing’s face turned very ugly.

She walked over to Xiao Yun and said irritably, “Didn’t you say that the Turtle Breath Pill combined with the Breath-holding Skill would never be detected by anyone?

How did Lu Chuan see right through it?”

Xiao Yun was also angry, “You’re asking me?

Who should I ask?”

Lew Qingqing was speechless, “Your crappy plan is so disappointing, I knew I shouldn’t have teamed up with you.”

She turned around, mustered an awkward smile, and said, “Cousin, so you’re not dead, I was really worried just now.”

“Since you’re fine, let’s hurry back and tell the family that you’re safe.”

After that, she turned to leave.

“Wait!”

Lu Chuan called out loudly.

Lew Qingqing stopped, “What now?

My cousin is fine, you should be grateful for that!”

Lu Chuan sneered, “Do you really think everyone here is a fool?

Without a reasonable explanation for what happened today, none of you are going anywhere!”

He looked at the burly man, “If I’m not mistaken, you took a Turtle Breath Pill, which is why your pulse was in disorder, right?

Why were you pretending to be dead?”

Then he pointed at Lew Qingqing and Xiao Yun, “Did these two instruct you to do so?”

Xiao Yun hurriedly signaled the burly man with his eyes.

The burly man, his face filled with conflict, thought for a moment.

Enduring the pain in his leg, he suddenly stood up, intending to flee.

Lu Chuan grabbed his shoulder with a swift move, pulling him back.

The burly man attacked Lu Chuan.

Unfortunately, he posed no threat in front of a Grade 1 Grandmaster like Lu Chuan.

In just a few moves, the burly man was subdued by Lu Chuan on the ground.

Lew Qingqing shouted, “How shameless can you be?

Not only did you stab him with a knife, but now you’re also hitting him, everyone help my cousin!”

The onlookers all stared at Lew Qingqing dubiously, none of them made a move.

Lu Chuan took out a few acupuncture needles and inserted them into the burly man’s body.

The burly man instantly lost the ability to move.

“The needles I just inserted into your body are the Seven-star Soul-Terminating Needle.

If they are not removed within half an hour, you will die from bleeding from all seven orifices, and only I know how to remove them,” Lu Chuan said.

“I advise you to confess truthfully; otherwise, not even the Celestial Ninja can save you!”

The burly man panicked immediately.

He could feel the needles slowly moving inside him, heading towards his organs.

Lu Chuan was not bluffing!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yun hurriedly said, “Don’t listen to his nonsense.

If he dares to kill you, he won’t be able to escape himself.

You have nothing to confess!”

Lu Chuan glanced at Xiao Yun and said with a smile, “You make a good point.”

He then removed one of the needles from the burly man’s body.

“There, after my treatment, you’ve been brought back from the dead.

However, from now on, you’ll be paralyzed and suffer unbearable pain every day.

But that’s much luckier than losing your life,” Lu Chuan said.

Lew Qingqing was furious, “You’re blatantly hurting people!

How can you be so vicious!”

Lu Chuan shrugged, “I was treating him.

He was dead at that time, didn’t you see?

I revived him, how can you say I’m vicious?

Unless…

you knew from the start he was never ill and pretended to be dead?”

Lew Qingqing was left speechless by the retort.

At that moment, the burly man, drenched in cold sweat and writhing in pain, heard Lu Chuan’s words and, filled with despair, clenched his teeth and said, “I’ll confess everything, please spare me!”
