Chapter 354: Chapter 353: She Went to His Residence in the Capital Chapter 354: Chapter 353: She Went to His Residence in the Capital In the blink of an eye, Ming Yao had been teaching at Capital City Hospital for a week.

She discovered that Liu Yun usually only went back to the Liu Family, rarely to the Nangong Family.

The relationship between Liu Yun and her husband Nangong Hong was not very good; the couple hadn’t exchanged a single word when they visited the Nangong Family for a meal a few days ago.

It seemed she needed to find an opportunity to make a trip to the Liu Family.

Today was the weekend, and Ming Yao was driving to Autumn Water Studio. Not long after she took a shortcut, she suddenly saw an elderly man jogging unsteadily, then collapsing to the ground.

Nangong Xuan was also jogging on that road and hurried over when she saw the old man faint.

The old man seemed to have stopped breathing, his complexion pale and his condition critical.

Nangong Xuan said to the onlookers, “I study medicine, I can save him.”

Nangong Xuan recognized the unconscious man; he was Old Master Huo from the Huo Family.

The Huo Family had even more clout in the capital than the Nangong Family; if she could establish a good relationship with Old Master Huo, she would be able to navigate the capital with ease!

Nangong Xuan was preparing to administer an injection to Old Master Huo when a hand suddenly reached out to stop her.

“Don’t just start treating recklessly.” Ming Yao pushed Nangong Xuan away.

Crouched down, Nangong Xuan fell to the ground unsteadily when pushed by Ming Yao.

Seeing Ming Yao’s delicate and pretty face, she fumed, “Ming Yao, even if you want to show off, you should assess the situation. This is a matter of life and death, have you gone mad?”

The crowd of onlookers started pointing and making comments about Ming Yao.

Ming Yao remained unphased; she took the old man’s pulse.

It was acute cardiac tamponade.

A large amount of fluid had accumulated inside, causing compression to the heart.

In such a case, an immediate pericardial puncture drainage was necessary.

Ming Yao glanced at the pointing crowd, “Please, call the emergency hotline.”

In the meanwhile, Ming Yao took out the silver needle she always carried with her from her bag.

Seeing Ming Yao starting to open Old Master Huo’s shirt, Nangong Xuan quickly grabbed Ming Yao’s wrist, “Don’t mess around, or you’ll involve the Nangong Family–”

Before Nangong Xuan could finish her sentence, she was once again pushed away by Ming Yao.

Nangong Xuan’s face turned green with anger.

Just as she was about to stop Ming Yao again, she saw Ming Yao’s fingertips holding the silver needle, swiftly piercing it towards Old Master Huo’s chest.

With a sound, blood sprayed out.

Nangong Xuan’s eyes widened in shock.

“Ming Yao, have you lost your mind? You dare to commit murder in public!”

Ming Yao did not speak, her beautiful eyes were calm and serene, her pretty face taut, showing the seriousness and crispness she maintained while practicing medicine.

No matter how much Nangong Xuan and the crowd argued, she always stayed calm.

After draining the accumulated fluid from the old man, Ming Yao inserted a few more silver needles into his acupoints.

Her movements were so swift that Nangong Xuan and the onlookers couldn’t see how she did it.

Before long, Old Master Huo’s colorless face slowly regained its rosiness.

He opened his weak eyes, glancing at Ming Yao as she withdrew the silver needles, and then closed them again.

Ming Yao put the silver needles back into her bag, fastened Old Master Huo’s clothes properly, and left when the ambulance arrived.

The doctors and nurses arrived quickly.

After checking Old Master Huo, one doctor exclaimed joyfully, “The rescue was very timely. Such a high level of fluid drainage is the work of a master doctor!”

Nangong Xuan and the onlookers were stunned.

Nangong Xuan blinked her eyes, beginning to doubt her hearing, “A master, a master doctor?”

“Yes, may I ask who just did the thoracic drainage for this elderly gentleman?”

Nangong Xuan pursed her lips and whispered in a low voice, “It was me.”

Since Ming Yao had already left, even if she falsely took credit for her deeds, no one would know.

Nangong Xuan followed Old Master Huo, who was being carried away, and got into the ambulance.

Not long after Ming Yao drove away, she received a call from Aunt Zhong.

This was her first time receiving a call from Aunt Zhong after divorcing Gu Siting.

Ming Yao pursed her lips before pressing the answer button.

“Aunt Zhong?”

“Madam–” Aunt Zhong’s voice on the phone sounded anxious and flustered, “I heard you came to the capital. Could you come to Bluewater Bay?”

Hearing the importance in Aunt Zhong’s voice, Ming Yao pursed her lips slightly, “Aunt Zhong, what’s the matter?”

“Little Snowball has had an accident, please come and see it right away. I just made some food for it, and it threw up after only a couple of bites. It’s not in good spirits…”

Upon hearing that something had happened to Little Snowball, Ming Yao’s grip on the steering wheel tightened.

“Where is Fourth Master?”

“Fourth Master went to work.”

Thinking that Gu Siting had gone to the company and wouldn’t return so soon, Ming Yao told Aunt Zhong she would come immediately and hurriedly drove to Bluewater Bay.

Bluewater Bay was nestled on a quiet hillside and featured an artificial lake, boasting a very beautiful environment.

Ming Yao had no mood to admire the scenery as she followed Aunt Zhong, who was waiting at the gate, into the villa.

Little Snowball lay on the sofa, looking listless.

Seeing Ming Yao approaching, it wagged its tail joyfully but didn’t pounce into her arms as it usually would.

“Aunt Zhong, Little Snowball has lost weight.”

Aunt Zhong sighed, “Ever since you left, Little Snowball hasn’t been as lively, and it has been eating very little.”

Ming Yao held Little Snowball in her arms and examined it carefully.

“Aunt Zhong, Little Snowball might have a gastrointestinal issue.”

Aunt Zhong looked at herself with self-reproach, “I just can’t make the same kind of cat food you did, Little Snowball doesn’t like what I made.”

Aunt Zhong slapped her own head hard, “I’m so clumsy, failing to take good care of Little Snowball…”

Ming Yao took Aunt Zhong’s hand, “Aunt Zhong, don’t worry, Little Snowball doesn’t have a serious problem.”

Aunt Zhong furrowed her brows tightly, “But it hasn’t been eating well recently.”

“Go to the pet store and buy some medicine, I’ll make some food for it, and then record a video on how to make cat food for you.”

Aunt Zhong said gratefully, “Madam, we’re lucky to have you.”

“Aunt Zhong, I am no longer Fourth Master’s wife, you can just call me by my name!”

Aunt Zhong sighed, “I’ve gotten used to it,” she paused, then added, “Actually, Fourth Master he…”

Before Aunt Zhong could finish her sentence, Ming Yao had already gone into the kitchen, “I’ll make some food for Little Snowball.”

Aunt Zhong watched Ming Yao’s retreating figure for a while before reluctantly heading to the pet store to buy medicine.

After Ming Yao had prepared the food for Little Snowball, she picked it up.

Little Snowball sniffed at first, then began to eat, bite after bite.

Aunt Zhong returned from buying the medicine and, seeing Little Snowball finally not being fussy about food, gave Ming Yao a thumbs-up, “Madam, you’re incredible.”

Before Ming Yao could say anything, Aunt Zhong added sadly, “It’s been so long since I’ve eaten the food you made. Although you left me the recipes when you went away, I just can’t make it taste like yours.”

“Shall I make lunch for Aunt Zhong?”

A smile of joy appeared on Aunt Zhong’s face, “Really? Can you do that?”

“Of course,” since it was still early and Gu Siting wouldn’t be back, “Just don’t tell Fourth Master that I’ve been here.”

Aunt Zhong repeatedly nodded, “Yes, yes.”

Taking advantage of Ming Yao’s distraction, Aunt Zhong quickly went to the backyard to make a phone call.
