A Glimmer of Hope

Before the black car stopped completely, Xia Tian had already opened the door and jumped out of the car, running quickly towards the hospital. A few seconds later, he saw the anxious Ye Mengying and the serious-looking Ye Shaoxiong.

"Xia Tian, ​​you're here, come quickly..." Before Ye Mengying could finish her words, Xia Tian had already entered the ward.

Just like yesterday, the ward was packed with people. In addition to the Ye family, there were also two doctors.

"You still dare to come?" Seeing Xia Tian, ​​Ye Zhiyi looked very angry.

Xia Tian was in no mood to pay attention to him. He pushed away all the people blocking his way, moved to the bedside, put two fingers on the old man's wrist, and began to take his pulse.

The old man's skin became even drier, and it was difficult to sense any life from him. Xia Tian was confused. He was very confident in his medical skills. According to his diagnosis and treatment yesterday, the old man could live for another half a year. It was impossible for him to become like this overnight.

"How ridiculous! Someone, kick this harmful quack out!" Ye Zhiyi on the other side was furious.

"Who dares to move?" Ye Shaoxiong shouted in a deep voice, and several men who were ready to make a move immediately resumed their calm demeanor.

"Well, you two brothers, one of you brought a quack doctor yesterday and almost killed the old man, and the other one was afraid that the old man would not die, so you had to let the quack doctor kill the old man before you were satisfied, right?" Ye Zhiyi said angrily, "I have called the police, and the police will be here soon!"

"Uncle, we can't say for sure who the police will arrest when the time comes!" Ye Shaoxiong snorted coldly, "Just be quiet now!"

"You!" Ye Zhiyi was furious. "Do you still know that I am your second uncle? How can you talk to your second uncle like this?"

"I call you second uncle only because your last name is Ye!" Ye Shaoxiong sneered. He didn't take this second uncle seriously.

Xia Tian's expression became a little solemn. The old man's condition was far worse than he had expected. In just one night, the old man was really at the end of his life.

The quarrel between Ye Zhiyi and Ye Shaoxiong did not have any effect on Xia Tian. He had a silver needle in his hand and suddenly stabbed the old man with it.

The spiritual energy of ice and fire was transmitted into the old man's body through the silver needle, gathering the last bit of his vitality. After three full minutes, Xia Tian pulled out the silver needle and slowly exhaled. If he had been half an hour later, the old man would probably have died.

"Xia Tian, ​​how is grandpa?" Ye Mengying asked anxiously.

"I won't die for now." Xia Tian was a little embarrassed, "But I can't wake up for now either."

"When can grandpa wake up?" Ye Mengying asked.

"I don't know either." Xia Tian was a little helpless, "I can't wake him up for now."

"How could this happen?" Ye Mengying found it hard to accept. "Didn't you say yesterday that Grandpa could live for half a year?"

"Yesterday was yesterday, and now is now. The situation is different." Xia Tian glanced at the other people in the ward and asked, "Beautiful sister, did anyone treat your grandfather last night?"

"Last night?" Ye Mengying was stunned. "Probably not, but I left around twelve o'clock. I don't know what happened after that."

"Xia Tian, ​​why do you ask that?" Ye Shaoxiong keenly sensed that something was wrong, "Did someone do something to Grandpa last night?"

Xia Tian took out his cell phone, checked the time, and then said calmly, "It's three o'clock now. About eleven and a half hours ago, around 3:30 last night, someone gave your grandfather an acupuncture injection. If I hadn't come, your grandfather would have died in half an hour."

"It's ridiculous. You killed the old man because of your poor medical skills, but you actually blamed it on a third person!" Ye Zhiyi sneered, "Xia Tian, ​​you should prepare to go to jail!"

"Uncle, as far as I know, you were the one who accompanied Grandpa in the hospital last night, right?" Ye Shaoxiong looked at Ye Zhiyi coldly, "You were the first one to know that Grandpa was in trouble. I really want to know, were you in the hospital at 3:30 last night?"

"What a joke! I left at two o'clock last night, and only the nurses in the hospital are taking care of the old man!" Ye Zhiyi's face was full of anger. "You two brothers and sisters found a quack doctor, and now that something has gone wrong, you want to push the responsibility onto us. You have a good plan, right?"

"that is!"

"It's obviously their problem."

"Why haven't the police come yet? Everything will be clear once they investigate."

The other members of the Ye family echoed this, and all their criticisms were directed at Ye Mengying and Ye Shaoxiong.

In the midst of the quarrel, two people walked in: "Excuse me, is Mr. Ye Zhiyi here?"

"It's me!" Ye Zhiyi hurriedly went up to him.

"Mr. Ye, I'm Li Ping, a criminal policeman from the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and this is my colleague Fu Zhun. Are you the one reporting to the police that someone is practicing medicine illegally and causing death?" This man was Li Ping, an old acquaintance of Xia Tian.

"Yes, Officer Li, I called the police." Ye Zhiyi answered quickly, then pointed at Xia Tian with an angry face, "Officer Li, this man is practicing medicine illegally, causing my father to be in a coma. The doctor said he could die at any time. I demand that you arrest this quack doctor immediately and punish him severely!"

Following the direction Ye Zhiyi pointed, Li Ping saw Xia Tian and suddenly felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry. This guy was really good at causing trouble. He had just seen him last night and now he saw him again. Fortunately, the captain did not come, otherwise the captain would have been pissed off to death.

"Mr. Ye, is there some misunderstanding?" Li Ping would naturally not really rush to arrest anyone immediately, but just asked carefully. Although he was the captain of the criminal police team, he could not afford to offend Ye Zhiyi.

"Officer Li, I invited Xia Tian to treat my grandfather. My grandfather's current condition has nothing to do with Xia Tian. You guys can go back." Ye Mengying stepped forward and explained.

"What do you mean it has nothing to do with him?" Ye Zhiyi snorted coldly, "It was after he cured the disease that the old man became like this!"

"Second Uncle, before Xia Tian treated Grandpa, Grandpa was in a coma. Now Grandpa is still in a coma. No matter what you want to say, Xia Tian is not responsible, right?" Ye Mengying said lightly.

"Well, I won't pursue the fact that he treated the old man badly. It's a fact that he practiced medicine illegally, right?" Ye Zhiyi sneered, "Does he have a medical license?"

"Xia Tian, ​​do you have a medical license?" Li Ping couldn't help but ask.

"No." Xia Tian answered straightforwardly. He didn't even have an ID card, so how could he have that thing?

"How about this, you come with me to the bureau." Li Ping winked at Xia Tian.

"Well, there's no point for me to stay here for the time being anyway." Xia Tian nodded.

"Officer Li, I really invited him here!" Ye Mengying couldn't help but feel a little anxious when she saw that Xia Tian was really going to be taken away.

"Ms. Ye, it is true that Xia Tian does not have a medical license. Although no serious consequences have occurred, we still need to investigate." Li Ping said politely.

Ye Mengying wanted to say something, but Ye Shaoxiong understood. He quickly pulled Ye Mengying and said, "Little sister, let Xia Tian go with Officer Li."

Seeing her elder brother say this, although Ye Mengying felt a little sorry for Xia Tian, ​​she didn't say anything else. Just like that, Xia Tian followed Li Ping out of the ward amid the smug looks of Ye Zhiyi and others who had succeeded in their conspiracy.

After leaving Sacred Heart Hospital, Li Ping said to Xia Tian, ​​"Xia Tian, ​​are you going home or somewhere else? Let me give you a ride."

Xia Tian was a little puzzled: "Aren't we going to the police station?"

"Why go to the police station?" Li Ping smiled. "If illegal medical practice does not have any consequences, it is not a crime. Maybe the health bureau can fine you, but it has nothing to do with us criminal police. I brought you out just to help you out."

"Is that so? Thank you, Brother Li." Xia Tian understood. "But you don't have to send me off. There's a car waiting for me!"

"Okay, I'll go back and report to Director Huang first." Li Ping didn't insist, "You just cured Director Huang's son. If Director Huang knew it was you, he would definitely not send me here. If you say someone else is a quack, Director Huang will believe it, but he definitely won't believe you are a quack."

Li Ping and Fu Zhun left quickly, and Xia Tian walked towards the van parked not far away. Heisan was still waiting for him there.

"Brother Tian, ​​are you going back?" Heisan asked respectfully. Seeing Xia Tian and Li Ping's familiar looks, Heisan began to admire Brother Bao's vision even more. This Brother Tian has a really good relationship with the police.

"Xia Tian." Ye Shaoxiong's voice came. He seemed to know that Xia Tian would not be caught, so he followed out.

"Wait a moment, I want to talk about something." Xia Tian walked towards Ye Shaoxiong, who had something to explain.

"Brother Ye, tell the beautiful sister not to let anyone get close to your grandfather. If that person finds an opportunity to attack again, your grandfather will be dead!" Xia Tian said.

"Xia Tian, ​​tell me in detail what is going on?" Ye Shaoxiong's face was solemn.

Xia Tian began to explain: "In fact, your grandfather was not sick, he was just too old, and his spirit was almost exhausted. He was almost at the end of his life, so he was bound to die. But in fact, he still had some spirit scattered in various meridians. I can use acupuncture to gather this spirit, so your grandfather can live another half a year. But after half a year, he will really be at the end of his life."

After a pause, Xia Tian added, "He should have lived for half a year, but someone gave him a shot last night, which drove all his spiritual energy out of his body. If I had been half an hour later, his spiritual energy would have dissipated completely. Now, I can only barely retain the last bit of residual spiritual energy to keep your grandfather alive, but it will be very difficult to wake him up again."

"Xia Tian, ​​do you know who did this?" A trace of anger flashed in Ye Shaoxiong's eyes. These bastards would really do anything for money!
