?64: Chapter 55: With me around, it’s hard to even want to die 64: Chapter 55: With me around, it’s hard to even want to die Accompanying that voice, instantly, the entire corridor erupted into chaos.

    What happened?

    Li Chen walked over, only to see an elderly man dressed in hospital clothes lying motionless on the ground, seemingly dead.

    “Old Li, Old Li, how could you suddenly die like this?” a patient nearby suddenly burst into tears.

    The surrounding patients also fell silent; they too had heart conditions and could drop dead like Old Li any day.

    When one falls others grieve, their shared plight inevitably evoked some sadness.

    Li Chen furrowed his brow; Old Li lay on the ground and indeed seemed completely dead.

    However, in Li Chen’s eyes, there might still be a chance to save him.

    Death due to heart disease was merely the heart suddenly ceasing to beat.

    If the heart could be made to start beating again, naturally, the person would come back to life.

    Just then, the nurse who had previously been giving an IV to Princess Qilin also came over, first checking Old Li’s neck, then comforting the patient, “Once dead, one cannot be revived, please restrain your grief.”

    Afterwards, she used the communication system to notify the patient’s relatives at the reception and dispatched someone to prepare to collect Old Li’s body.

    “He can be saved.” Suddenly, a voice rang out, and everyone turned to look at Li Chen, who stared solemnly at Old Li’s body.

    “Can be saved?” The crowd reacted as if hearing the biggest joke.

    “Young man, I know it’s tough for you, it’s tough for all of us.” An elderly man patted his shoulder, “Just let it be; Old Li’s passing is a release.”

    What the heck, how could my intentions be misunderstood?

    Li Chen couldn’t help but feel a mix of amusement and frustration and immediately stepped forward: “I mean he really can be saved.”

    This statement caused an uproar.

    The previous elderly person became somewhat angry, “The man is already dead, and you still make jokes about him?”

    “Yeah, has this young man lost his mind?”

    The beautiful nurse, seeing Li Chen, also couldn’t help feeling angered.

    It was enough that he flirted with her, but now he was disrespecting the dead?

    “Sir, he’s already dead.

    Stop causing a scene here,” the nurse said angrily.

    Li Chen’s eyebrows knitted together as he fixed his gaze on her, “Do you really hope he just dies like this?

    He’s not dead yet, but if you continue to obstruct for a few more minutes, he definitely will be.”

    The beautiful nurse, annoyed, replied, “Only a doctor can determine his life or death, no one else has the right.”

    “The thing is, you’re not a doctor either.

    Plus, how do you know I don’t have the right?” Li Chen extended his hand and felt Old Li’s pulse, which was already very weak.

    If they hesitated any longer, the man would indeed die.

    “Do you really want to see him die?” Li Chen looked around and loudly declared, “Those who don’t want him to die, hurry and bring over the Silver Needles, the ones used for acupuncture, instantly, right now!”

    Having said that, he no longer paid attention to the beautiful nurse but started channeling his True Qi, first sealing the critical acupoints on Old Li to delay the process.

    Seeing Li Chen begin to operate directly on Old Li, the nurse couldn’t contain her dismay, “What are you doing?”

    “If you won’t help, at least stand aside and watch if you must, but let me save him,” Li Chen coldly stated.

    Had this nurse no basic medical knowledge at all?

    It was clear the person was in a near-death state, but if delayed any longer, it would turn into actual death.

    By now, a crowd had gathered in the corridor; the patients were pointing and whispering, many of them doubting Li Chen.

    “Poor Old Li suffered from illness during his life, and even in death, he is being desecrated,” some patients couldn’t bear to look any longer.

    “Where did this guy come from, is he even a doctor?” some people questioned Li Chen.

    The beautiful nurse, choked up by Li Chen’s words, fumed silently beside, fine, you say he’s not dead?

    I’ll see how you bring him back to life.

    “Where are the Silver Needles?

    How come the Silver Needles still aren’t here?” Li Chen cried out, urgency apparent in his eyes, he had used up his Silver Needles last time crashing into Ye Yuxuan’s villa and hadn’t had a chance to replenish them yet.

    Even though he sealed the acupoints with True Qi, its effectiveness was vastly inferior to that of Silver Needles.

    With Silver Needles, he was confident that he could pull the man back from the brink of death.

    The beautiful nurse bit her lip, got up, and walked toward the reception.

    Not long after, she came back directly with a set of Silver Needles.

    “Here are the Silver Needles,” the nurse handed them to Li Chen.

    “Have they been sterilized?” Li Chen asked.

    “Not yet,” the nurse shook her head.

    “Quick, bring a lighter over,” time was of the essence.

    Seeing his urgency, though skeptical, the nurse still brought a lighter.

    “Turn it on, do I need to teach you?” Li Chen spoke sharply.

    The nurse felt a twinge of injustice but still ignited the lighter.

    Li Chen sterilized the Silver Needles over the flame, then infused them with True Qi.

    Following that, a gleam flashed in his eyes as he abruptly opened Old Li’s shirt and inserted the Silver Needles into his chest!

    The surrounding patients erupted again, amidst a wave of doubts and suspicions; yet, Li Chen remained undeterred.

    After inserting the first Silver Needle, Li Chen immediately followed with a second needle, still targeting the chest area.

    A massive amount of True Qi was directly infused, and Li Chen concentrated intensely; in this moment, his eyes saw only the figure of Old Li before him.

    Li Chen’s skill in traditional Chinese medicine, nurtured by Third Grandpa, was not something ordinary doctors could match, and he naturally was confident in his ability to revive him.

    It was already the fourth Silver Needle, and beads of sweat appeared on Li Chen’s face.

    He was not yet very proficient at the needle technique he was using, and it consumed a significant amount of True Qi.

    After the last Silver Needle was inserted, a strange pattern formed by seven Silver Needles appeared over Old Li’s heart, yet there was still no activity from Old Li.

    “That’s it,” Li Chen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with a bitter smile, knowing that traditional medicine really wasn’t his forte.

    How wonderful it would be if Wan’er were here.

    But Old Li still lay on the ground, utterly motionless.

    That’s it?

    The onlookers around them couldn’t help but burst into laughter, “This man has not only lost his mind but his eyes as well.

    Where has he revived?

    Clearly still motionless.”

    “Exactly, I thought he was something special, but he’s just all talk.

    Someone should just carry Old Li away, it’s just a pity, his children haven’t even arrived yet.”

    “I’ve said it before, the dead cannot be revived, this man just wouldn’t listen to me, sigh,” the earlier patient sighed heavily.

    The beautiful nurse flashed a look of disappointment and coldly said to Li Chen, “Do you have anything else to say now?”

    Li Chen did not answer, but instead asked, “What time is it now?”

    “It’s exactly eleven o’clock.”

    Li Chen nodded, then, without saying anything, closed his eyes.

    “Hey, did you hear what I said?

    Move aside, I’m going to call people over to handle the body,” the beautiful nurse said, annoyed at being ignored by Li Chen.

    The crowd around them switched from skepticism to angry cursing.

    Not only was this man disrespecting Old Li’s body, but now he was even ignoring the nurse.

    Just then, several doctors arrived, and the beautiful nurse quickly stood up to inform them of the situation.

    One doctor approached and was about to speak, but Li Chen interjected calmly, “Wait a minute.”

    The doctor frowned, “Sir, this is a hospital, and I am a doctor.”

    After saying that, the doctor, ignoring Li Chen, reached out to touch Old Li but before he could, was firmly grasped by a pair of vise-like hands.

    “What are you doing?” The doctor was both shocked and angry.

    The crowd became even more irate.

    The doctors were here, what more was he needed for?

    “Let go of me!” the doctor shouted angrily.

    Li Chen released his grip, and the doctor couldn’t help but fall to the ground.

    Just at that moment, a voice filled with panic rang out, “Dad, Dad!”

    It was Old Li’s son, who had just arrived.

    He pushed through the crowd and saw Old Li lying on the ground with several Silver Needles sticking out of his chest.

    “What are you doing!” Seeing this, the son was about to throw a punch.

    “Ten more seconds and your father will come back to life,” Li Chen stood up calmly, “Now seven seconds.”

    “This man is still boasting.”

    “Yes, he really should be taken to the police station.”

    “Haven’t you caused enough trouble?” The previously composed beautiful nurse couldn’t hold back anymore, but just then, a coughing sound erupted, “Cough, cough, cough.”

    The noisy sounds suddenly stopped, and the entire hallway fell dead silent before all eyes converged on Old Li on the ground.

    They saw Old Li open his eyes and let out a few coughs.

    Seeing so many people around him, he looked confused, “What, what happened?”

    “He’s alive?” The patients nearly dropped their eyeballs, he had indeed been brought back to life.

    “Old Li is alive!” Suddenly, the patients cheered.

    The doctors were stunned, and the beautiful nurse was also shocked.

    Was the man in front of them truly capable of resurrecting the dead?

    “Dad, I’m so glad you’re fine,” the son said, tears of joy streaming down his face as he hugged Old Li.

    Li Chen walked calmly toward the staircase, “Just pull out his needles and he’ll be fine.”

    Seeing Li Chen approach, the previously mocking patients suddenly looked at him with respect and astonishment, and they quickly made way.

    This man is a legend!

    Being able to bring someone back from death, this skill could be compared to a new age Huaatuo!

    The beautiful nurse’s eyes suddenly filled with stars, and when she went to look for him, she realized he had already disappeared without a trace.

    “I told you, this man’s medical skills are extraordinary, but you wouldn’t believe me,” some of the earlier doubting patients had changed their tone, and this incident became the talk of the day.

    “That man, really incredible,” the beautiful nurse recalled how he had teased her in the hospital room earlier, and couldn’t help but blush again.

    Why didn’t he ask for my phone number, really.
