The doctor watched Wen Xin’s casual departure with surprise. Accustomed to encountering geniuses at the research institute, he had never seen anyone so arrogant.
He wondered if her skills were genuine or just a facade. If it was the latter, he felt compelled to expose her.
Following the nurse back to Gu Xiang’s room, Wen Xin took a small medicine bottle from her backpack, pouring out a pill and placing it into Gu Xiang’s mouth.
Instantly, the room filled with a faint aroma of traditional Chinese medicine, startling the nurse, who hadn’t expected Wen Xin to be a practitioner of traditional medicine.
“Can I assist with anything?” the nurse asked. When the nurse smelled the fragrance of the Chinese medicine, she was certain that Wen Xin really had medical skills. The fragrance of the medicine would not lie.
“Prepare some alcohol for me. I need to disinfect,” Wen Xin requested.
“Right away,” the nurse responded, hurrying to fulfill the request.
Wen Xin then took a black cloth pouch from her bag, unfurling it to reveal rows of golden needles, shocking those watching from outside, including Gu Xiang’s parents. It was their first encounter with someone using golden needles for treatment.
The nurse, upon returning with the alcohol, was equally amazed. Growing up in a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, she had rarely seen silver needles, let alone gold ones.
“Hand me the alcohol,” Wen Xin said, taking a lighter from her bag. She selected the longest and shortest three golden needles, along with four regular ones, and disinfected them with the flame before placing them in the alcohol.
After disinfecting, Nan Xu entered, immediately noticing the herbal scent and spotting the golden needles by the bed. Her eye twitch faintly, sensing that they were about to witness something extraordinary.
“Lift her up for me. My technique is quick. If everything goes as expected, she’ll awaken as soon as I remove the needles.”
The room’s soundproofing kept their conversation private, but those outside, seeing their relaxed demeanor, felt reassured about the treatment’s prospects.
They felt that these two people should be very confident.
Nan Xu supported Gu Xiang as instructed. Wen Xin worked swiftly, her actions too quick for the attending nurse to follow. By the time the nurse realized what happened, ten golden needles were already positioned on Gu Xiang’s head.
The nurse rubbed her eves in disbelief at the sight.
“My needle removal will be quick. Make sure to step back the moment I remove the last needle to avoid being injured by her sudden awakening,” Wen Xin advised.
She saw Nan Xu’s stunned expression and felt that it was a little funny, so she reminded her gently.
“Don’t worry, I’ll ensure my safety. Go ahead,” Nan Xu signaled with an OK gesture, confident in her own training to avoid injury.
After ensuring Nan Xu’s safety, Wen Xin also worried about Gu Xiang injuring herself. She stopped and headed to the door.
Opening the door, she gestured for Gu Yanzhe to follow her inside, “Come in with me.”
Gu Yanzhe, unsure of Wen Xin’s intentions, nevertheless entered the room with her, “Miss Wen, what do you need me to do?”
“Hold her. She’ll likely wake up suddenly and become agitated. You’ll need to restrain her so that she doesn’t hurt herself.
Guiding Gu Yanzhe on how to securely hold Gu Xiang, Wen Xin expertly removed all ten golden needles from Gu Xiang’s head.
The room was filled with a fierce roar the moment the last needle was removed.
Gu Yanzhe, caught off guard by Gu Xiang’s unexpected strength, hadn’t held her tightly enough and received a sharp elbow to his chin, feeling as if it had shattered.
Mu Chengxi and Ling Yichen rushed in from outside, with Ling Yichen helping Gu Yanzhe secure Gu Xiang. Mu Chengxi immediately protected Wen Xin in his arms.
Wen Xin softly spoke, her gestures indicating she wanted Mu Chengxi to let her go.
As Gu Xiang’s emotions stabilized and her eyes cleared, she looked at Gu Yanzhe restraining her, her voice hoarse, “Brother, why are you holding me down? How did I get here?”
Seeing Gu Xiang return to normal, Gu Yanzhe disregarded the pain in his chin, embracing her tightly, experiencing the profound relief of having her back. He thought he had lost her.
Gu Xiang’s parents entered, visibly aged overnight by the ordeal.
“Mom, Dad… what happened? Why am I here? What’s wrong with my brother?”
Held by Gu Yanzhe, Gu Xiang looked around in confusion, unaware of the events that had transpired.
“You troublemaker, do you have any idea how close you were to becoming a vegetable? Thank goodness Miss Wen saved you. And after causing such a mess, you better apologize to Miss Wen right away!”
When Mrs. Gu saw that Gu Xiang had returned to normal, she did not have time to feel sorry for Gu Xiang. Her first reaction was to ask Gu Xiang to apologize to Wen Xin immediately and thank her for saving her life.
Hearing her mother, Gu Xiang was even more confused. She turned to Wen
Xin, her emotions flaring up again.
“Why are you here? Don’t think you’re superior just because you managed to fight back. I must have made a mistake, which is why I lost to you…”
Before she could finish, Gu Yanzhe covered her mouth, not wanting to provoke Mu Chengxi with any offensive remarks.
“Miss Wen, I’m sorry. My sister might not be fully aware…” Gu Yanzhe apologized politely.
Wen Xin gave him a brief glance, picked up the golden needles soaked in alcohol, packed her black pouch, and without a word, left Gu Xiang’s room, holding Mu Chengxi’s hand.
She hoped that when Gu Xiang recovered better and fully appreciated her expulsion from the hacker alliance, it would not cause another breakdown…
Not long after Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi left, Gu Yanzhe caught up with them and apologized to Wen Xin, “Miss Wen, Master Xi….”
