Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Saving Lives
Twenty minutes later, Song Xiaodong and Miao Xuanxuan arrived at the hospital.
Wang Xiaoqiang had been arranged to stay in a high-end VIP ward, where apart from the chubby Li Gang, there was also a nurse taking Wang Xiaoqiangâs blood pressure and such.
Wang Xiaoqiang was much more spirited by now, and said to Miao Xuanxuan with a grin, "Sister-in-law, I really canât thank you enough. Iâve never stayed in such a fancy ward in my entire life."
Miao Xuanxuan blushed at being addressed this way by Wang Xiaoqiang, and said, "Itâs no big deal. You donât need to worry about it. Iâm ... Iâm really not Song Xiaodongâs girlfriend. We were just messing around."
Li Gangâs plump face was all smiles as he said, "Not now doesnât mean not in the future. We were just calling you sister-in-law in advance."
Song Xiaodong glared and said, "You two better stop talking nonsense. Iâm a man, I donât care, but this is a big deal for ruining a girlâs reputation. Donât call her that anymore."
Miao Xuanxuan quickly said, "I know theyâre just joking. You donât have to yell at them."
Li Gang immediately said, "Sister-in-law is the only one who cares about us. Dongzi here, heâs always blowing his top with us."
Miao Xuanxuan felt somewhat flattered by Li Gangâs praise and said, "Thatâs right. Iâm not like someone who always has a scowl on his face."
Song Xiaodong felt somewhat speechless; Miao Xuanxuan had actually accepted the nickname "sister-in-law." This girlâs heart was really too big.
Miao Xuanxuan, who was naturally very easy-going and hated self-restraint the most, felt particularly close to the brotherhood of Song Xiaodong and his friends. Even if Li Gangâs jokes were a bit much, she didnât take them to heart.
"My stomach hurts so bad." Wang Xiaoqiang suddenly muttered, his complexion turning somewhat pale.
The nurse who was examining Wang Xiaoqiang immediately said, "Iâll go find a doctor for you," and ran out in a hurry.
Song Xiaodong dashed over to Wang Xiaoqiang like an arrow and started examining him carefully.
Before long, Song Xiaodong had figured out the cause and looked quite upset as he said, "This is a ruptured spleen. It needs to be handled immediately."
"Crap, would that kill Xiaoqiang?" Li Gang exploded, anxious, "Iâll go find a doctor."
"No need, Iâll handle it right now," Song Xiaodong said, quickly removing Wang Xiaoqiangâs upper clothing, with several silver needles now appearing in his hand.
Li Gang was stunned as he watched Song Xiaodong and asked, "Dongzi, didnât you say Xiaoqiangâs spleen is ruptured? What are you doing?"
Song Xiaodong explained, "Iâll treat him. If we let the doctors handle it, theyâll have to perform surgery to remove the spleen, which is even more dangerous. Right now, you guys donât disturb me."
Li Gang complied and, together with Miao Xuanxuan, stood by the bed, ready to help Song Xiaodong on command.
Miao Xuanxuan stared wide-eyed at Song Xiaodong, surprised that he even had medical skill. Right, her sister had injured her leg, and it was this very guy who treated her with silver needles. But this was a case of internal organ ruptureâif handled incorrectly, it could be directly fatal. Yet he dared to treat him?
However, seeing Song Xiaodongâs focused expression, Miao Xuanxuan, despite her doubts and worries, didnât dare to disturb him.
Song Xiaodong took a deep breath, his thumb and index finger twisting three silver needles rapidly. The needles vibrated continuously for about ten seconds before Song Xiaodongâs hands suddenly plunged them into Wang Xiaoqiangâs body.
The three silver needles, each over ten centimeters long, went into Wang Xiaoqiangâs body, leaving just a short tail of the needle exposed.
This made both Miao Xuanxuan and Li Gang inwardly gasp in amazementâso much needle going into the body, just thinking about it was painful.
"Ah! Thereâs blood!" Blood actually started spurting out from the base of the three silver needles. Miao Xuanxuan cried out in shock, thinking that this was a mistake on Song Xiaodongâs part.
"Wipe the blood away," Song Xiaodong said firmly.
"I... I canât, Iâm afraid of blood," Miao Xuanxuan backed away continuously, her face deathly pale.
Li Gang hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Iâll do it," and began to wipe with a towel, but his rough handling almost touched the silver needles.
Song Xiaodong quickly slapped his hand away and took over the towel himself.
The door opened and the nurse who was in this room earlier rushed in. Seeing Wang Xiaoqiangâs abdomen covered in blood, she let out a frightened scream and asked, "What happened? What happened?"
Song Xiaodong handed the towel to her and said sternly, "Wipe the blood, but donât touch the needles."
The nurse instinctively took the towel and began to meticulously wipe the blood. It was a nurseâs instinct, following the doctorâs orders to the letter.
However, after a couple of wipes and seeing the blood actually spurting out from the base of the three silver needles, she froze for a moment and suddenly turned to look at Song Xiaodong, anxiously asking, "Are you a doctor?"
"I am," Song Xiaodong replied coldly. "Donât get distracted, focus on your task."
Song Xiaodongâs tone was that of unquestionable authority, as if he was instructing the nurse in her duties. This was how a doctor commands.
The nurse shuddered, and though she harbored some doubts about Song Xiaodong, she still subconsciously continued to work conscientiously.
With the help of the nurse, who was very thorough in her work, Song Xiaodong now held three more silver needles in his hand.
Thump!
Suddenly, the door was pushed open and two doctors rushed in.
They immediately saw Song Xiaodong inserting three long silver needles into Wang Xiaoqiangâs body and were startled.
"What are you doing? Have you lost your mind?" A male doctor in his thirties shouted at Song Xiaodong, eyes wide.
Without turning his head, Song Xiaodong said, "Gangzi, get them out of here."
Li Gang, having blind faith in Song Xiaodong, didnât hesitate and said fiercely, "You need to get out of here."
The male doctor quickly retorted, "I am a doctor, I came to check on the patient, why are you obstructing me?"
Li Gang hesitated only for a moment before glaring again and said, "I know youâre doctors, but canât you see my brother is saving someone here? Donât cause trouble."
"Causing trouble? I think youâre the ones causing trouble. My God, youâre jabbing such long needles into the patient, Iâm going to faint, those are all vital organs, piercing an organ can easily be fatal, stop it, stop it! Youâre committing murder. If you donât stop now, Iâm going to call the police."
At this point, Miao Xuanxuan was also feeling very unsure and said softly, "Dongzi, maybe we should let the doctor handle this?"
Song Xiaodong glared at Miao Xuanxuan and said sternly, "You, get out as well."
