Urban Miracle Doctor-Chapter 182 Three People Governing Together

Ming Xizhi watched Qin Han’s retreating back and only then realized his own back was soaked with sweat; just now Qin Han’s gaze as he looked at him seemed to penetrate right into his heart.

The words he had just said appeared to be respectful towards Qin Han, as if wanting to express gratitude and assist Qin Han against the Chen family. In truth, he simply wanted to use Qin Han’s hand to deal with the Chen family—after all, the Ming and Chen families had been in both open and hidden conflict for many years. If he could use the occasion of Qin Han’s issue to suppress the Chen family, the Ming family would be the ultimate beneficiary.

This strategy of "letting the snipe and the clam grapple while the fisherman profits" had been well calculated by Ming Xizhi. But he had not anticipated that although Qin Han resided in Zhongzhou, he was not unaware of the affairs in Shangjing.

Moreover, as a doctor, Qin Han’s grasp of the vital qi within a person was far beyond what Ming Xizhi could understand.

Even though Ming Xizhi had held a high position for many years, he still couldn’t hide his true form in front of Qin Han.

"Alas, it looks like I’m going to get a scolding from father when I return!" Ming Xizhi sighed and murmured to himself.

When Zhang Yalin passed by Ming Xizhi, she snorted coldly and said, "The Ming family, always liking to treat others as fools, shameless!"

Ming Xizhi looked at Zhang Yalin somewhat awkwardly and said, "What happened back then isn’t what you think it is, Uncle Zhang knows."

"Get lost!" Zhang Yalin replied with just a word before walking into the ward.

Inside the intensive care ward, three hospital beds were placed closely together.

The patient in bed number three looked relatively well because he had only suffered some minor internal injuries, but the situation for Zhong Yuanliang and Zhong Wanshan was not so optimistic.

Especially Zhong Wanshan, his complexion was simply ashen. Zhong Yuanliang, on the other hand, was just a little pale-faced.

Zhang Yalin’s eyes were slightly red as she looked at Zhong Yuanliang, then she turned and asked, "And you say it’s not serious? Look at them now."

"It’s just a coma!" said Qin Han lightly.

Zhang Yalin glanced at Qin Han and said with a frown, "Just a coma? They are in a coma!"

"Am I not here to wake them up? Why are you so agitated when you speak?" Qin Han cast a glance at Zhang Yalin.

"As if they aren’t your own family members!" Zhang Yalin blurted out.

"Yalin!" When Song Yuwei saw that Zhang Yalin was speaking without restraint, she quickly called out to her. No one was more anxious than Qin Han with Zhong Wanshan and Zhong Yuanliang having suffered such serious injuries.

Wasn’t Zhang Yalin’s statement just like rubbing salt into Qin Han’s wounds?

However, Qin Han didn’t argue with Zhang Yalin but simply said lightly, "Go out and call a few people in."

Seeing the look on Qin Han’s face, Zhang Yalin realized she had misspoken and obediently went out to call people.

"You, have some of your men come in!" Zhang Yalin stepped out of the ward and said to Ming Xizhi.

Imagine, Ming Xizhi, a significant figure from Shangjing, being bossed around by a young girl; such a tale would hardly be believed if it were spread.

But Ming Xizhi dutifully instructed several men to follow Zhang Yalin into the ward.

"Number One, why be so polite to this girl?" Liu Hongwen couldn’t help asking from the side.

Ming Xizhi sighed and said, "It’s just that the Ming family owes her."

"The Ming family owes her?" Liu Hongwen repeated Ming Xizhi’s words.

Ming Xizhi gestured for a cigarette with his hand, and Liu Hongwen quickly took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed it to Ming Xizhi, and lit it for him.

Usually, Ming Xizhi rarely smoked, only doing so when he was pondering over matters. Liu Hongwen knew that Ming Xizhi was about to speak seriously.

In the sickroom, Qin Han saw several military men come in, and he said indifferently, "Please help them all up into a seated position."

"Yes!" the three military men replied.

Qin Han opened the needle bag and said to Sun Pinghui, "If I remember correctly, the Medicine King had a set of techniques specifically for treating the internal injuries of martial artists."

"Indeed, it’s called the Star Martial Needle Technique. However, due to the decreasing number of martial artists and the passage of time, this technique has not been preserved. It’s a pity," Sun Pinghui said regretfully. But as soon as he finished speaking, Sun Pinghui looked at Qin Han with a shocked expression.

"Brother Qin, could it be that you know it?"

Qin Han looked at Sun Pinghui with a half-smile and said, "Watch closely."

Upon hearing this, Sun Pinghui nearly jumped up. This was the ancestral needle technique! It was said that in history, some had offered a large sum of money to find someone who knew this technique, but to no avail.

Moments later, Qin Han began. His speed wasn’t fast, but the sequence of his needling was swift, which gave Sun Pinghui an illusion; Qin Han seemed to be moving slowly, yet the number of Golden Needles in the bodies of the three men seemed to increase rapidly.

"Elder Sun, could you please feed each of them a Nine Apertures Golden Pill," Qin Han said as he continued needling.

Sun Pinghui hastily poured three Nine Apertures Golden Pills from the porcelain bottle in his hand and stuffed one into each of the men’s mouths.

As soon as the Nine Apertures Golden Pills were in their mouths, Qin Han tapped lightly on each man’s back, causing their heads to tilt back almost simultaneously, and the pills slid instantly down their throats.

"The final needle can only be placed after the Nine Apertures Golden Pill takes effect," Qin Han said, standing calmly to one side after completing the action.

After the men had taken the Nine Apertures Golden Pill, their breathing gradually changed, no longer chaotic as before, but became even, steady, and prolonged.

And the color of their faces began to look rosier.

Seeing the right moment, Qin Han drew three two-inch-long Golden Needles and pierced them into the nape of each man’s neck, along their back.

The three men’s bodies trembled at the same time, each exhaling a long turbid breath before opening their eyes.

Seeing the men awaken, Qin Han gathered up the Golden Needles from their bodies and approached them.

"Mr. Qin!"

"Big brother!"

Looking at the three men before him, Qin Han took a deep breath and calmly said, "I am to blame for this incident, you’ve all suffered. I will see to this matter soon."

"Big brother, you’re taking it too seriously. Zhong Wanshan will always remember the great kindness you’ve shown to the Zhong family. This is but a trivial matter. It’s just a shame that I haven’t mastered my own skills, and have let down our master," Zhong Wanshan said, bowing and with an apologetic face.

Qin Han waved his hand dismissively and with a stern expression, said, "I didn’t expect the Chen family to send a martial artist at the pinnacle of martial prowess."

"Be assured, I will definitely heal the injuries you and Yuan Liang have sustained."

There’s no need to be concerned for me, big brother. I am already old, and didn’t have many years left, to begin with. But please do take special care of Yuan Liang," Zhong Wanshan said with a smile.

Qin Han glanced at Number Three next to him and said lightly, "Number Three, you have the lightest injury, which after my treatment is practically healed. But at least half of the Nine Apertures Golden Pill’s potency remains. You must make good use of the remaining power to break through to the pinnacle of martial arts."

"Yes, Mr. Qin," Number Three replied.

At this moment, Sun Pinghui finally reacted, his voice choked with emotion, "I never thought I’d see the Star Martial Needle Technique again."

"The Star Martial Needle Technique? Big brother?" Zhong Wanshan, who was apparently aware of this technique, asked in astonishment.

Qin Han nodded, and with Qin Han’s confirmation, Zhong Wanshan grew even more amazed at his big brother’s ability and couldn’t help thinking, "I wonder if big brother has been following our master from a young age, to even know such a coveted technique of martial artists."
