Chapter 296: Chapter 295: Pushing Through the Palace and Passing Blood

In the X-ray vision, Lin Tian saw the blood clot in Zuo Hongyi’s brain. It was dark red, compressing the brain tissue. Fortunately, the bleeding in the brain had stopped and was not getting worse.

Damn, those people hit him so damn hard, causing intracranial hemorrhage. They were trying to beat him to death. Anger flared up in Lin Tian’s heart once more, but the most pressing matter at hand was to treat Zuo Hongyi. Everything else would have to wait until Rossi found out Cui Haolong’s whereabouts.

However, it wouldn’t be easy to step in and treat him. Neither the doctors nor Zhong Huiyun would allow anyone to interfere recklessly. Lin Tian frowned, glancing at Zhong Huiyun.

Lin Tian knew that when she had referred to him as Mr. Lin just before, it was merely out of politeness. In reality, she considered the term "master" to be nothing more than Zuo Xing’er’s blind adoration. The likelihood that she would believe an eighteen-year-old youth could treat a cerebral hemorrhage was zero.

Since he couldn’t persuade the doctors and family members, Lin Tian decided to act first and explain later, after he had treated the patient.

"Zuo Xing’er, come here," Lin Tian patted her shoulder and said softly, then gestured for Xiao Manxuan and Zhang Lingyu to come over as well.

Zhong Huiyun’s attention was all on the ward and she had not noticed the four people walking away.

"Lin Tian, what are you planning to do?" Zhang Lingyu looked at him curiously, asking with bewilderment.

Lin Tian didn’t respond to her. Instead, he said to Zuo Xing’er, "I can heal your uncle. Do you believe me? If you do, I’ll tell you what to do. If you don’t, then let’s forget about it."

"Really? Brother Lin can treat my uncle?" Zuo Xing’er cried out in surprise, but then quickly lowered her voice, afraid of disturbing others. She whispered, "Of course I believe you; you are the most magical person I have ever seen. What do you need me to do?"

"Good, distract your aunt and get her to rest a bit, no problem with that, right?" Lin Tian said.

"Alright, I’ll go right now." Zuo Xing’er nodded her head, agreeing to the request, and walked over to Zhong Huiyun.

As for how she was going to convince Zhong Huiyun to leave, Lin Tian didn’t concern himself with that. As long there was no one disturbing his work later, that would be fine.

After she left, Lin Tian said to Zhang Lingyu, "Miss Zhang, do me a favor. There’s a camera in the intensive care unit; can you take care of it?"

"Can you really heal him?" Zhang Lingyu was still skeptical, questioning him.

She wasn’t so easily fooled. Treating and saving lives was a serious matter, and nothing could afford to go wrong. Zhang Lingyu was much more rational than Zuo Xing’er.

"Sister Yu, Lin Tian can do it. My mom and Zhonghai City’s Jade Carving Master, Song Yanan, were both cured by Lin Tian. He knows the secret Nine Needle Technique," Xiao Manxuan spoke up before Lin Tian had a chance, always as confident in him as ever.

"Nine Needle Technique? What is that? Sounds like acupuncture," Zhang Lingyu was taken aback, having never heard of such an acupuncture school before. She paused then continued, "I have heard of that Song Yanan though, a master of Shanghai-style jade carving, the true heir of his grandfather’s craft and a leading figure in his field."

"Yes, it’s acupuncture, but I didn’t bring an acupuncture kit with me. I have to try using massage techniques first. Anyway, believe it or not, you can leave right now if you don’t believe me. Don’t get in the way of me saving someone," Lin Tian looked at her calmly, speaking indifferently.

He didn’t want to waste time explaining to Zhang Lingyu, nor would he prove anything to her. If it came down to it, he’d just deal with the camera himself.

"Hmph, what’s the rush? I didn’t say I didn’t believe you. If it’s just massage, you can give it a try. Alright, I’ll go take care of the camera," Zhang Lingyu cast him a glance and huffed, but she agreed and turned to get it done.

After she had left for a while, Zuo Xing’er also returned, and Zhong Huiyun had already left.

"Brother Lin, I’ve done my best, but my aunt refuses to leave the hospital. She only agreed to go back to room 666 to rest," Zuo Xing’er said softly.

It’s a natural reaction; anyone wouldn’t feel at ease leaving a sick family member in the hospital. Lin Tian nodded and said, "That’s all we can do for now. We’ll take action in a while."

About five minutes later, Zhang Lingyu came back with a relaxed expression. One look and it was clear she had taken care of the camera.

"I didn’t expect you to be so capable. I’m starting to wonder if you’re a spy sent by the state," Lin Tian expressed his doubts, but he also admired her. In just five minutes, she had managed to temporarily disable the surveillance camera in the ward without anyone noticing.

"Have you ever seen such a young spy? Let’s get started quickly, or we won’t be able to keep the camera off for long," Zhang Lingyu shot him a glance and took the lead towards the intensive care unit.

It was dinner time, the nurses’ rounds were at their most lax, and this floor was the special care ward, where few family members were moving about, making the entire corridor very quiet. Seizing the opportunity of the deserted hallway, the four of them slipped into the ward.

"Second Miss, draw the curtains," Lin Tian ordered without looking back as he walked straight to the bedside.

"Brother Lin, how are you going to start?" Hu Xing’er asked anxiously. Although she wasn’t the one doing it, she still wanted to contribute if she could.

"Go and get a basin of water; there’s hot water in the next room," Lin Tian continued to instruct.

Once the hot water was fetched, Lin Tian first washed his hands, then he unbuttoned the top two buttons of Zuo Hongyi’s shirt and looked towards his head while utilizing his penetrating gaze.

Zuo Hongyi was currently unconscious. Besides the clot pressing on his brain nerves, there was also insufficient oxygen supply to the brain. Lin Tian’s task was to perform a promotive blood circulatory massage.

A promotive blood circulatory massage is a real test of skill. It involves massaging acupoints on the body to disperse stasis outside the body, clear the previously injured and congested meridians and vessels, and allow the smooth passage of qi and blood. This can restore health to the bones, organs, and nerves passed by the qi and blood.

Though easy to speak of, the technique is difficult to perform. The type of massage technique to be used, which acupoints to be massaged, and the observation of the direction of qi and blood circulation is a true test of one’s skill. Different massage therapists have different techniques and acupoint selections, which result in different effects.

While Lin Tian had not seen other massage therapists’ techniques, he believed none could compare to his own because his method came from Gui Guzi’s Nine Needle Technique.

This method included large acupoints of the upper, middle, and lower parts of the body. The major acupoints where qi and blood are most active. Stimulating these acupoints can lead to significant effects with half the effort.

First was the Bai Hui acupoint on the top of the head. Located at the very center of the head, the Bai Hui acupoint is where all the meridians converge, connecting the whole body, making it one of the most important major acupoints.

Lin Tian formed his right hand into a hollow palm, gently tapping the Bai Hui acupoint nine times. Each tap was of a different strength, as if keeping to the rhythm of a certain melody. After nine taps, he switched from tapping to pressing, another nine times, then changed to pinching, also nine times.

He varied his techniques continuously, but with each technique, Lin Tian applied it nine times, varying in speed and strength, following some mysterious pattern. The three girls by his side were mesmerized, finding Lin Tian’s massage technique both beautiful and shrouded in a mysterious aura.
