These words caused instant astonishment among everyone.
Elder Chen, however, appeared thoughtful.
Lu Yanli, in a place unseen by others, subtly curled her lips into a slight sneer.
She had expected something else. Unexpectedly, they claimed the person wasn't dead. Ridiculous, truly ridiculous.
Now, Lu Yanli seriously doubted how much water had been added to Gu Jia Ning's so-called superb medical talent.
"What nonsense are you saying? Old Lady Liu's breathing has stopped; she's not dead?"
"Exactly, Old Lady Liu's body is stiff. She's not dead? Then what constitutes death?"
"Heh, since you say Old Lady Liu isn't dead, then revive her."
"Yes, revive her, revive her!"
The crowd was in an uproar, glaring at Gu Jia Ning with anger.
At this time, Elder Chen stepped forward and looked at Gu Jia Ning, "Ning girl, are you sure?"
Gu Jia Ning was slightly stunned. She thought her Master might not believe her, but unexpectedly...
Gu Jia Ning nodded, "I'm sure, but if more time passes, it'll be difficult to say."
"Good, Master will support you."
So, Elder Chen turned and faced the crowd, "Everyone, Gu Jia Ning is my disciple, Chen Zhinan's student, and I believe her."
"Since she said this person isn't dead, let her try to save her."
"Even if there's only a sliver of hope, saving her is better than letting her die. I believe you all hope she can live, and I also hope you can give me some face."
"Of course, if anything goes wrong, I'm willing to shoulder the responsibility with her."
"Master…" Gu Jia Ning looked at Elder Chen's back, her heart filled with emotion. Then she looked at Old Lady Liu on the stretcher, her eyes firm.
"Alright, then save her."
"Save her, we'll all watch."
"Yes, let's see if you can bring Old Sister Liu back from the dead."
Gu Jia Ning didn't delay. She took her small medicine box from the office and had someone move Old Lady Liu from the stretcher to the hospital bed.
The hospital bed was at a height. Now that she was pregnant, her belly was quite large, making it unsuitable for her to squat to administer acupuncture.
No one made things difficult. Soon, Old Lady Liu was moved to the hospital bed.
Liu Xiwang stood by. When Gu Jia Ning approached, he looked at her, seeming to have made a decision, and said, "Doctor Gu, I… I believe in you. I hope you can save my mother."
Gu Jia Ning looked at Liu Xiwang in slight surprise. She thought that as Old Lady Liu's only son, Liu Xiwang would be as easily swayed as the others, becoming angry and resentful towards her. Unexpectedly…
Gu Jia Ning nodded, "I will do my best."
Lu Yanli, standing nearby, heard the conversation between Gu Jia Ning and Liu Xiwang and scoffed softly.
Was Liu Xiwang stupid? Or was he seduced by beauty? His mother was dead, yet even now he believed this woman.
How foolish!
Her malicious gaze then fell on Gu Jia Ning's back. This woman, she's truly a vixen, wherever she goes, whatever the situation, she can always lure people in.
Even with her back turned, Gu Jia Ning could feel the intense malice from behind.
As for who it was, she didn't need to guess.
She had a faint suspicion that this matter was connected to this person, perhaps even orchestrated by them.
But these things could wait.
Let's revive Old Lady Liu first.
Gu Jia Ning took out the needles from the wooden box and began to administer acupuncture to Old Lady Liu…
-
By now, it was noon.
Sheng Ze Xi had gotten food from the dining hall and was about to go home when the sir serving the food suddenly called out to him.
"Deputy Commander Sheng, why are you still here?"
Sheng Ze Xi was puzzled. Was he not allowed to be here?
Seeing the question on Sheng Ze Xi's face, the sir immediately understood. "Oh, you don't know what happened, do you? Your wife, Doctor Gu, killed someone…"
Sheng Ze Xi abruptly looked up, his eyes filled with coldness. After briefly learning about the situation from the sir, without delay, he carried his food box and ran to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department of the Military Region Hospital.
Sheng Ze Xi arrived at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department and upon seeing the crowd, his brows immediately furrowed.
He pushed through the crowd to get inside.
Those he pushed were unhappy and turned to rebuke him, but upon seeing the tall and imposing Sheng Ze Xi with his cold expression, they immediately wilted, stepping aside.
At this time, everyone saw that Sheng Ze Xi had arrived.
Everyone was very familiar with Sheng Ze Xi, especially his unruly temper and the title of "Jade-faced Yama."
Lu Yanli frowned upon seeing Sheng Ze Xi.
He must have heard the news and came to defend Gu Jia Ning.
Considering Sheng Ze Xi's current position and temper, Lu Yanli felt his arrival was troublesome.
But it didn't matter. As long as it was proven that Old Lady Liu was killed by Gu Jia Ning, even if Sheng Ze Xi wanted to defend her, it would be useless. If Sheng Ze Xi insisted on defending her, it might even implicate him.
Just as she was thinking this, Lu Yanli looked up and found Sheng Ze Xi glancing at her.
Lu Yanli's heart leaped.
Soldiers are so perceptive.
As soon as Sheng Ze Xi entered, he sensed the malice emanating from Lu Yanli. He saw Ningning performing the treatment and did not speak to her, but silently stepped forward, shielding her behind him, his protective stance clear.
At this time, Elder Chen also stepped forward and explained the situation to Sheng Ze Xi.
"Elder Chen, I believe her," Sheng Ze Xi said after listening.
He knew his Ningning was a divine doctor and absolutely could not have killed anyone.
He also knew his Ningning possessed many miraculous skills, so even if Ningning said she could bring someone back from the dead, he would believe her. Moreover, Ningning had said the person was not dead.
Lu Yanli also heard Sheng Ze Xi's words and secretly sneered. It seemed that Sheng Ze Xi had also been captivated by this vixen, believing everything she said.
At this moment, a surprised voice from the quiet ward suddenly rang out.
"She moved, she moved. My mother moved."
What? Old Lady Liu moved? Could she have truly been resurrected?
By now, Gu Jia Ning had finished the acupuncture and quickly stepped back two steps.
Then everyone saw that Old Lady Liu, who had been lying silently on the bed, began to move her hand.
Then, her eyelids fluttered.
Then everyone saw Old Lady Liu suddenly open her eyes.
"Heavens, a zombie!" someone exclaimed loudly.
As Old Lady Liu opened her eyes, she suddenly turned her head and spat out a lot of things from her mouth.
A foul odor filled the air.
Gu Jia Ning silently put on another mask, determined to avoid triggering any morning sickness, which she hadn't experienced yet during her pregnancy.
As Old Lady Liu spat out more things, everyone saw her complexion visibly improve.
"
