He Qinzhou smiled slightly, "I agree with what Brother Qin Tian said."
Looking at Old Master Chen lying on the bed, He Qinzhou took a deep breath and said in a solemn voice, "So, I will start treating the old man now, but I need to borrow something from Brother Qin Tian."
"what?"
He Qinzhou scratched his head sheepishly, "I forgot to bring your acupuncture kit when I left in a hurry."
He Qinzhou's words almost made everyone present vomit blood.
Didn't you say you were a doctor?
You even forgot to bring your acupuncture kit. How can you be someone who knows medicine?
Qin Tian was stunned, then his face lit up with surprise. Anyone who has studied medicine would never forget to bring an acupuncture kit or medical kit when going out.
He Qinzhou was able to accurately describe Old Master Chen's condition, but he must have been guessing; in reality, he had no idea how to treat it!
Ha, He Qinzhou, He Qinzhou, you still want to fool me with such a stupid method?
I'd like to see what you can do after you get my acupuncture kit.
I'm sure I'll embarrass myself!
Qin Tian thought coldly to himself.
"Alright, Brother Qinzhou, I hope you can really cure Old Master Chen." Qin Tian handed his acupuncture kit to He Qinzhou, saying flattering words.
He Qinzhou took it and smiled jokingly, "Don't worry, I definitely won't let you down."
Chapter 163: The Ghost Doctor's Nine Needles
He Qinzhou skillfully took out the silver needles, disinfected them, and then began to treat Old Master Chen with complete concentration.
He Qinzhou mentally reviewed the "Ghost Doctor's Secret Manual," and soon his eyes narrowed as he inserted the needle into Old Master Chen's body.
He Qinzhou's technique was extremely skillful, like magic. Before anyone could see clearly, all the silver needles in the acupuncture kit had already been inserted into Old Master Chen's body.
After nine needles were inserted, Old Master Chen's expression changed.
A look of horror flashed in Qin Tian's eyes as he stood at the back.
Others might not recognize what kind of acupuncture technique He Qinzhou used, but he knew it very well!
Isn't this the long-lost Nine Needles of the Ghost Doctor?
He never expected that He Qinzhou would know the Nine Needles of the Ghost Doctor, and that he had mastered the needling technique so well!
Three minutes later, when He Qinzhou withdrew the needle, Old Master Chen, who had been in pain, suddenly vomited a mouthful of black blood.
He then slowly opened his eyes, which were much brighter than before and no longer as cloudy.
Grandpa Chen smiled faintly: "Qinzhou, you've really had a hard time this time."
"It's no trouble at all, it's just a small favor. Besides, given my relationship with Youyi and Wenjing, and the fact that you are my elder, it's only right that I help you!"
He Qinzhou turned his head and glanced at the two girls who were very shy because of his words, and said in a gentle tone.
"Hehehe, so that's how it is." Old Master Chen was a shrewd man. After glancing at the expressions of his granddaughter and her maid, he knew that the two girls must have secretly fallen for He Qinzhou.
He was very satisfied. After all, He Qinzhou was handsome, rich, and had a strong background from the He family in the capital. In addition, he was also skilled in medicine. He was the perfect choice for his granddaughter's husband!
Qin Tian, standing at the back, was dumbfounded. His face turned pale and then red, and his hands clenched into fists, trembling with anger.
Chen Youyi also noticed Qin Tian's astonished expression and was secretly overjoyed.
"Qinzhou, you are truly a lucky star! If it weren't for you, Grandpa would probably still be in a coma right now."
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Youyi reached out and took He Qinzhou's hand, her face full of gratitude and tenderness.
The Chen family members felt a mix of joy and sorrow upon seeing how close Chen Youyi and He Qinzhou were.
To Chen Shouren's delight, he felt that she had finally come to her senses, and that her target was such an outstanding man.
The sad thing is that Chen Zongren felt that since Chen Youyi had found this man, Chen Xuan would have even less of a chance to become the heir of the Chen family!
Chen Youyi looked at Qin Tian with a contemptuous and disdainful expression. "Qin Tian, now that Grandpa's illness has been completely cured in Qinzhou, shouldn't you fulfill your previous bet?"
Qin Tian's face darkened, then he took a deep breath and forced a smile, saying, "Miss Wenjing's words just now enlightened me. As a doctor, I really shouldn't gamble with something as sacred as healing and saving lives."
"Sudden enlightenment? Would you say that if I hadn't cured Old Master Chen's illness? You're such a hypocrite!" He Qinzhou sneered, "Heh, now you've hit a brick wall and know you regret it?"
Qin Tian glared at He Qinzhou fiercely, wishing he could beat him up right now, and then said to everyone, "I dared to come to the Chen family today because I am confident that I can completely cure Old Master Chen."
"I was just blind today and didn't expect Chairman He's medical skills to be so superb."
"It's truly eye-opening to me that he, an entrepreneur, has mastered the long-lost Ghost Doctor Nine Needles to such an extent!"
"However, my Life and Death Needles are not weak either!"
As he spoke, Qin Tian flipped his hand over.
Several silver needles lay still in his hand, and as he activated his internal energy, the silver needles immediately floated up.
Using Qi to guide the needle is the ultimate technique of the Life and Death Mystery Needle, and also the threshold for learning it.
The Chen family members were all surprised to see this.
This dashing scene attracted the attention of everyone in the Chen family, except for Chen Youyi and Wenjing.
They were still looking at Qin Tian with disgust when Wenjing suddenly spoke up: "Qin Tian, since your medical skills are so amazing, do you still stand by what you said earlier?"
A surge of anger instantly ignited in Qin Tian's eyes.
How dare a mere woman embarrass me like this!
Chen Youyi also stood up at this time to speak up for Wenjing, "Qin Tian, as a grown man, you can't go back on your word, can you?"
Qin Tian's expression kept changing.
At this moment, Chen Xuan stepped in to smooth things over.
"Cousin, Wenjing, we became friends after a fight."
"In the future, President He can also exchange medical skills with Qin Tian and have more exchanges."
Upon hearing this, He Qinzhou looked at Chen Xuan as if he were an idiot. "Brother, didn't you realize that I don't get along with that idiot Qin Tian?"
What do you mean by asking me to exchange medical skills with him?
Even if we were to really exchange medical skills, I would definitely seek out a stunning beauty like He Na.
Why would I spar with a burly man like Qin Tian just because he likes you?
Upon hearing Chen Xuan's words that gave him a way out, Qin Tian's admiration for Chen Xuan deepened, and he said gently, "Brother Xuan..."
Chen Xuan felt a chill run down his spine and wanted to cry but couldn't.
I forgot he was gay!
Destroy it already, I'm tired.
Chen Xuan thought to himself, feeling utterly hopeless.
"Now that Grandpa Chen's illness is cured, I'll be leaving now," He Qinzhou suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, Chen Youyi and Wen Jing immediately became unhappy and quickly stepped forward to grab his arms.
"Qinzhou, you said you'd have dinner with me yesterday, you wouldn't go back on your word, would you?" Chen Youyi looked at He Qinzhou pitifully, her voice hesitant and timid.
“That’s right. You’ve helped cure Grandpa, so you should stay for a meal before you leave, as a way of repaying you,” Wenjing said, trying to comfort He Qinzhou.
"Qinzhou, these two girls are right. You saved my life, and I should repay you. I hope you won't deny me this opportunity." Old Master Chen smiled kindly.
Ha, that's exactly what I was waiting for—for you guys to ask me to stay.
"Well... in that case, I'll take my leave of you all." He Qinzhou nodded, feigning surprise and flattery.
"Yay!" Chen Youyi and Wenjing jumped up with joy when they heard that the man had stayed for dinner.
However, after jumping a few times, they realized that there were still many people watching them, and they blushed and lowered their heads, feeling embarrassed.
Seeing this, Grandpa Chen smiled knowingly, thinking that daughters grow up and leave home.
"Shouren, go and tell the servants to prepare wine and food to entertain Qinzhou. Youyi, it will be a while before we eat. Why don't you take Qinzhou for a stroll first?"
"Yes, father."
"I got it, Grandpa."
"Wait a minute!" Chen Youyi was about to invite He Qinzhou to go shopping together when He Qinzhou interrupted her.
Everyone looked at him in confusion.
He Qinzhou's lips curled up slightly, revealing a playful expression. "Young Master Chen, at Grandpa Chen's birthday banquet a while ago, I gave him a jade pendant of Guanyin. Shouldn't you return that jade pendant?"
After saying that, He Qinzhou extended his hand to Chen Xuan.
Chapter 164: I guess I'll just have to make do with Xuan'er for now.
He Qinzhou's words caused Chen Xuan's expression to change drastically. He said in a trembling voice, "Chairman He, what... what are you saying... I don't understand?"
He Qinzhou was speechless. "I'm the villain, not the protagonist. Only the protagonist gets all sorts of trouble!"
Shouldn't people be willing to do anything for someone like me, with a strong background and immense wealth?
"Don't give me that. Your cousin already told me that you took the Guanyin jade pendant that I gave to Grandpa. You'd better hand it over."
Chen Xuan looked grim; he was somewhat unwilling.
He initially asked his grandfather for the jade pendant simply because he thought it was pretty.
At the same time, although Qin Tian did not explain why, he strongly insisted that Chen Xuan obtain the jade tablet so that it would be easier to administer the medicine.
After careful observation, Chen Xuan discovered that this jade pendant was definitely not a simple jade pendant. It seemed to have a magical power. As soon as he got his hands on it, his unsteady steps, mental fatigue, and other poor conditions seemed to have improved considerably.
Having experienced the benefits of the jade pendant, how could Chen Xuan possibly hand it over willingly?
"That jade pendant belonged to my grandfather. He gave it to me, so how can I take it back?" Chen Xuan explained unwillingly.
"Grandpa Chen, did you give it to him?" He Qinzhou turned to Grandpa Chen and asked coldly.
Chen Jianhao broke out in a cold sweat on the spot. He had indeed given the Guanyin jade pendant to his grandson, Chen Xuan.
Since Chen Xuan had been abroad for a long time and they hadn't seen each other for a while, Old Master Chen wanted to give him a gift, so he gave him this jade pendant.
But who knew that He Qinzhou would find out now, which made Old Master Chen so embarrassed that he had to dig out a three-bedroom apartment with his toes on the spot.
If she were to say now that she did indeed say she would give the Guanyin jade pendant to her grandson, it would inevitably anger He Qinzhou, since such behavior is indeed somewhat disrespectful to others.
Even if his granddaughter has a very good relationship with him, he would probably find it hard to accept such a thing.
Sigh, I guess I'll just have to make do with Xuan'er for now.
Old Master Chen was making plans in his mind.
"Hehe, how could that be? Qinzhou, this is a gift you gave me. How could I possibly give it away to someone else? It's just that my grandson saw it and thought the jade pendant was so beautiful, so I lent it to him to admire for a few days."
Old Master Chen smiled broadly, stroked his beard, and explained to He Qinzhou.
He Qinzhou naturally knew what Old Master Chen was thinking, and he could only mutter to himself that he was an old fox.
If I didn't still need to win over Chen Youyi and Wen Jing, I would have made sure you regretted it.
You're giving a Guanyin jade pendant that you yourself wouldn't even use to your grandson?
"I see. Then Young Master Chen Xuan must have had his fill of admiring it. It's just an ordinary jade pendant, nothing special."
Hearing his grandfather's vehement denial and He Qinzhou's veiled sarcasm, Chen Xuan's face turned ashen.
He could only grit his teeth and reluctantly take the Guanyin jade pendant out of his pocket.
Without saying a word, He Qinzhou snatched it from Chen Xuan's hand and held it up under the light to examine it carefully.
After confirming that it was the same piece he had bought, He Qinzhou nodded and handed it to Chen Youyi.
"Youyi, please keep this jade pendant for Grandpa. After all, it's a token of my goodwill, and I don't want it to be wasted so easily."
He Qinzhou said this with a hint of disappointment, and then handed the Guanyin jade pendant to Chen Youyi.
Chen Youyi knew that He Qinzhou's actions were a sign of his trust in her, or rather, that he simply wanted to return the item to her.
The excuse that one doesn't want their good intentions to be betrayed is just a superficial reason.
"Okay, I will definitely live up to Chairman He's trust." Chen Youyi happily accepted the jade pendant and carefully put it into her bosom.
"Alright, the matter is settled. Let's go for a stroll. I didn't get a proper look at the Chen family's mansion last time I came," He Qinzhou said with a slight smile.
“Okay, then I’ll show you around.” Chen Youyi volunteered.
