Xi Yu walked down the corridor with a pale face.
A group of doctors were gathered together, talking about something. When they saw Xi Yu come out, they all immediately fell silent.
The doctor in charge was the very one who had made Old Master Jiang sign the consent form to give up resuscitation. He looked at Xi Yu’s beautiful, pale face with a mocking expression, triumph flashing in his eyes.
Seeing Xi Yu in this state, he guessed that the man must have died.
Otherwise, why would Xi Yu come out alone with such a terrible complexion?
He had practiced medicine for many years and had never seen anyone whose heart had stopped and then resumed beating through some kind of superstition or occult method.
There were plenty of superstitious people, but what was the result?
Minor illnesses and aches were one thing. For illnesses that could recover on their own after a few days without medicine, these wandering occult practitioners might occasionally get lucky.
But this was cardiac arrest.
Put simply, without resuscitation, the person was a dead man.
From the moment they had come out, Jiang Yunzheng was already a dead man.
There was a saying that the dead could not return to life. He had never seen anyone die and then be saved.
“Young man, you should be grateful that Old Master Jiang is a kindhearted person,” the doctor said mockingly. “Otherwise, you would be a murderer.”
The doctor felt that Old Master Jiang had been the one to send his own grandson to his death. By this point, he had already forgotten that while he had been resuscitating Jiang Yunzheng, he himself had known that the chances of bringing him back were slim.
With Xi Yu there to take the blame, his words now made it sound as though without Xi Yu, he definitely would have been able to save the man.
Several people nearby gave quiet snickers when they heard the doctor say this.
Only the girl who had initially called Jiang Xuewei stared at Xi Yu’s face for two seconds. Shock flashed through her eyes, and she quietly left the group and headed toward the hospital room.
Xi Yu was exhausted. He did not want to waste his breath arguing and was about to leave.
Seeing this, the doctor became even more certain of his assumption. He blocked Xi Yu, speaking with almost righteous indignation.
“We’ve spent all these years watching over Mr. Jiang day and night, and then you come along and actually cost him his life. He could have lived!”
Blocked by the doctor, Xi Yu impatiently said, “And then?”
The doctor froze.
“What?”
“I said, and then?” Xi Yu’s tone was indifferent. “Let him continue lying there like a living corpse?”
“What did you say!”
The doctor pointed at Xi Yu, never expecting him to actually provoke him.
“You wandering occult fraud! You scam people out of money, and you actually dare to cause trouble in a place like this! As long as we bring someone back, as long as they’re not dead, there’s still hope that they’ll wake up. Do you understand that?”
Xi Yu gave a cold laugh.
“Do you really not know whether he could be resuscitated or not?”
So much adrenaline had been injected, and they had performed resuscitation for fifteen minutes without any heartbeat returning. Furthermore, that doctor himself had said that Jiang Yunzheng’s organs had already begun to fail recently.
Under these circumstances, there was no way the doctor did not know that Jiang Yunzheng could not be saved.
Now, he simply felt that Xi Yu could not save him either.
The doctor’s thoughts had been exposed by Xi Yu. Feeling guilty, his voice suddenly rose.
“You’re trying to pin Mr. Jiang’s death on us now, aren’t you!”
The doctor looked toward the others.
“Everyone, look! This fraud killed the man, and now he wants to blame us for it!”
The doctors nearby had originally just been watching the show. Upon hearing this, they all began condemning Xi Yu.
They were all in the same boat. Seeing Xi Yu like this, they also assumed that he was trying to shift the blame onto them.
But in truth, all of them knew that the chances of resuscitating Jiang Yunzheng had been slim.
Someone hurriedly stepped forward and said, “If you hadn’t insisted that Old Mr. Jiang make us leave, Mr. Jiang’s heartbeat would have come back!”
………………..
Xi Yu expressionlessly looked at the people before him, who appeared to be extraordinarily united.
The human instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm was being displayed to the fullest at this moment.
Of course, there was no criticism intended.
Seeking benefits and avoiding harm was simply human nature.
But these people clearly knew that Jiang Yunzheng could not be resuscitated, yet they kept saying that Xi Yu had caused his death.
It was as though if Xi Yu had never come, Jiang Yunzheng would have recovered the very next second because of their resuscitation.
A doctor’s duty was to treat illnesses and save people. Mortal illnesses did indeed require doctors. There was nothing wrong with that.
But Jiang Yunzheng’s coma had not been an accident. It had been caused by that strand of Chenyu’s sword soul.
These doctors had no way of discovering the real reason Jiang Yunzheng had fallen into a coma.
And now, these people thought Jiang Yunzheng was dead and could not wait to dump the blame onto him.
Those faces were truly disgusting.
Xi Yu said coldly, “Move.”
Seeing this, the doctor blocking Xi Yu assumed that he was feeling guilty and afraid of them. He became even more arrogant.
“It’s people like you who create all sorts of ridiculous illusions and manipulate the family members. You cheat people out of their money and cause deaths, and you still dare to spout nonsense! Even if I can’t send you to the police station today, I’ll still teach you a proper lesson!”
A wandering fraud who did not know his own limits was actually provoking him now.
In any case, the man had not been saved. There was no way anyone would protect Xi Yu. Beating him up and throwing him out could even count as ridding the people of a menace.
The doctor raised his hand and was about to strike Xi Yu.
Xi Yu raised his eyes.
Before he could make a move, an excited female voice came from farther away, rapidly approaching.
“Oh my God! He’s awake! He’s really awake!”
The doctor’s movement stopped.
He looked at the girl running over and said impatiently, “Why are you shouting? Go call security. Today I’m going to beat this wandering fraud who tried to profit from a man’s life to death!”
After saying this, the doctor was about to continue.
Xi Yu clicked his tongue.
His fingertip moved slightly, and the person who had just raised his hand suddenly fell backward.
At the same time, the girl came running over, panting heavily. Her eyes were sparkling as she looked at everyone, especially Xi Yu.
She stepped in front of Xi Yu and spread both arms to shield him from the hostile crowd.
“What wandering fraud! Yu-bao saved Mr. Jiang!”
The moment Xi Yu heard the words “Yu-bao,” his scalp went numb.
He lowered his head.
The girl turned around and smiled at him, her brows and eyes curved into crescents, the admiration in her eyes practically overflowing.
The fallen doctor was caught by his companions. After barely regaining his balance, he did not even have time to wonder why he had suddenly fallen backward before instinctively retorting.
“Nonsense! Are you, the receptionist, trying to help this fraud escape just because he’s good-looking? It’s fools like you who only look at faces that allow so many frauds to appear!”
The girl put her hands on her hips.
“Who are you calling a fraud? Who are you calling a fool? He’s awake! Why don’t you go see for yourself?”
The doctor had been openly challenged by a mere receptionist. He was furious and embarrassed, his chest heaving as he shouted.
“Mr. Jiang’s breathing and heartbeat both stopped! He was already a dead man! I’ve never seen a dead person come back to life!”
“Then you’re seeing it today!”
The hoarse voice came from behind the crowd.
Xi Yu looked past everyone and saw Jiang Yunzheng walking toward the group while supporting Old Master Jiang.
The girl was delighted and pointed behind the doctor.
“If you don’t believe it, turn around and look!”
The doctor turned around in disbelief.
Jiang Yunzheng handed Old Master Jiang over to Jiang Xuewei, then pushed through the crowd and walked up to Xi Yu, standing before everyone.
The doctor looked as though he had seen a ghost. Under Jiang Yunzheng’s gaze, he kept retreating.
“Mr… Mr. Jiang?”
Jiang Yunzheng turned around once before slowly saying, “Didn’t you say you’d never seen a dead person come back to life? Now take a good look.”
Everyone’s expressions were filled with disbelief.
Only the girl protecting Xi Yu was so excited that, if the situation had been different, she really would have screamed a couple of times.
Oh my gosh!
She had made it big!
She had seen a big shot!!!
The girl had originally not recognized Xi Yu. With someone’s life at stake, she had had no time to pay attention to anything else.
It was only when Xi Yu came out just now that she recognized him.
It was Yu-bao from the CP she shipped, Suixing Suoyu!!!
She had originally also not believed that anyone could save Jiang Yunzheng.
She worked as a receptionist here. With so many people taking care of Jiang Yunzheng alone, she knew the situation very well.
She had even thought that Old Master Jiang was desperately seeking medical treatment wherever he could.
But when she saw Xi Yu, hope immediately rose in her heart…
She had followed that variety show from beginning to end.
Originally, she had been a die-hard Lu Zhixing fan, and at the beginning, she had even argued with people online over Xi Yu.
But later, just like many of the other Xing fans, she became a CP fan.
Because Suixin Suoyu was simply too sweet!
And Xi Yu was so incredible.
His talismans could make ferocious beasts flee in terror. He had also set up a scheme that made Luo Shujing confess to his crimes and caused Luo Cheng’an’s reputation to reverse.
Then there was that giant python that submitted to him and fawned over him the moment it saw him.
Every single incident remained vivid in her mind.
Fans had once said that someone worthy of Brother Lu probably had not appeared yet.
And now, hadn’t that person appeared?
Who was Xi Yu?
He was a metaphysical expert!
And now he had even managed to make Jiang Yunzheng, who had been lying there for three years with cardiac arrest, stand up and become a normal person within half an hour.
This was practically a god!!!
She was even starting to feel that Brother Lu was not worthy of Yu-bao.
Yu-bao was too amazing.
Wahhhhhh.
The girl’s gaze was so intense that Xi Yu smiled at her.
His smile was very gentle, carrying a hint of gratitude.
These people were no match for him.
But this girl did not know that. She had simply opened her arms and shielded him behind her, daring to face an entire group of people who outranked her.
Most girls really were born with the ability and courage to love others.
Xi Yu was just about to thank her when Old Master Jiang had already grabbed his hand.
“Mr. Xi, I’m truly sorry. I was too emotional just now and didn’t personally see you out, which allowed you to be insulted.”
Xi Yu shook his head.
“It’s fine.”
All he wanted now was to leave.
He was tired.
He wanted to sleep.
Although Xi Yu said this, Old Master Jiang still felt guilty.
Xi Yu had saved his grandson, which was equivalent to saving his own life. Moreover, he could tell that Xi Yu did not look well.
Although he did not understand what had happened inside, he could still tell that Xi Yu was physically unwell now, and it was certainly because of his grandson.
His life-saving benefactor had now been injured and insulted. Old Master Jiang was so guilty that he did not know what to do.
Seeing that Xi Yu looked somewhat listless, his gaze toward the others immediately filled with anger.
“For these three years, I spent money to support all of you. It wasn’t so that you could shift the blame and hit people now! This is my Jiang family’s territory, not a place where you can run wild!”
These people were already famous doctors in the industry.
Over the years, he had spent a huge amount of money on them.
He did not care about the money, nor had he blamed them for being unable to awaken his grandson.
Even if Xi Yu had not come today and his Yunzheng had failed to be resuscitated, he would not have taken his anger out on these doctors.
