Super Strong Little Divine Farmer
Chapter 22 - 022: Back from the Dead
"Ninety-nine percent?" Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, everyone present was stunned.
However, the shock soon turned into scoffs of ridicule.
"Young man, do you really think you are Hua Tuo reincarnated?"
"One should not boast beyond a reasonable limit. Do you know who we are?"
"Hmph, even a routine surgery wouldn't claim a ninety-nine percent success rate, let alone such a major surgery for Mayor Zhou," Director Tian snorted coldly.
Lin Chen paid no mind to their ridicule and looked at Zhou Yufei, "Do you believe in me?"
"I believe in you, please, you must save my father." Although no one believed in Lin Chen, Zhou Yufei still placed her last bit of hope in him.
"Yu Fei…" Secretary Li was about to stop her, but Zhou Yufei, with tears in her eyes, said, "Uncle Li, everyone says my father is beyond help, but only Lin Chen has given me hope. Please don't crush my last bit of hope, okay? Even if my father doesn't make it, I won't blame anyone, is that okay?"
Having heard Zhou Yufei's words, Secretary Li naturally couldn't say more and nodded, "Alright, let him try then."
"Director Tian, I need a box of silver needles, and only Yu Fei, Su Yun, and I can be in the room; all others must leave," Lin Chen said.
Secretary Li nodded and told Director Tian, "Fully cooperate with him."
Although somewhat reluctant, Director Tian didn't dare to disobey since Secretary Li had spoken, and soon a nurse brought a box of silver needles to Lin Chen.
In the sickroom, only Lin Chen, Zhou Yufei, and Su Yun remained, while the others left the room.
"Yu Fei, you help me by wiping sweat; Su Yun, you'll be my assistant," Lin Chen instructed.
Both nodded, and Su Yun handed Lin Chen a sterilized silver needle.
Lin Chen took a deep breath and, following the acupuncture method in his mind, began treating Mayor Zhou.
Mayor Zhou's head had suffered an impact, and a large blood clot was pressing on his nerves. Director Tian was helpless because the brain's nerves are too complex, and he was unable to remove the clot.
Lin Chen's technique, however, involved using acupuncture from the outside to force the blood clot out of Mayor Zhou's skull.
Lin Chen accurately inserted each silver needle into Mayor Zhou's head, while Su Yun closely observed his technique. At the beginning, Lin Chen's movements were slightly awkward, but his technique soon improved dramatically.
As for acupuncture, Su Yun had some knowledge and could tell by the acupoints Lin Chen chose that his acupuncture skills and needle placement were very proficient.
If such skills had come from an elder Chinese medicine practitioner, Su Yun would not have been surprised, but she found it incredible that they came from someone as young as Lin Chen.
Although less than five minutes had passed, due to the consumption of spiritual power, Lin Chen was already sweating profusely.
Zhou Yufei wiped his sweat, while Su Yun passed him sterilized silver needles, one after another.
All twenty-four silver needles were accurately inserted at the designated acupoints.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Chen's fingers quickly tapped on Mayor Zhou's body a few times before Su Yun and Zhou Yufei shockingly noticed that the needles, which were initially silver, gradually turned crimson.
"Phew!" Lin Chen let out a breath and removed the crimson silver needles, one by one.
As soon as all the needles were removed, Mayor Zhou, who had been unconscious, suddenly moved his fingers slightly.
"Dad!" Seeing Mayor Zhou's fingers move, Zhou Yufei excitedly exclaimed.
Exhausted, Lin Chen sat down on a nearby hospital bed and said, "Yu Fei, don't worry, your father will be fine."
Mayor Zhou slowly opened his eyes, and after a moment of surprise when he saw Zhou Yufei, he said, "What happened to me? Where am I?"
"Dad, you're awake, you're really awake. I thought I would never see you again." Zhou Yufei cried as she threw herself onto Mayor Zhou's body.
"Silly child, am I not fine?" Mayor Zhou affectionately stroked Zhou Yufei's head.
A secretary outside the door heard the voices inside and hurried to report to Secretary Li, "Secretary, there seems to be some movement inside."
"Could it be that Old Zhou is gone?" Everyone's heart sank.
As for Lin Chen, not a single person present held out hope for him; they all thought this was merely a farce.
However, because Zhou Yufei insisted on believing in Lin Chen, they reluctantly let the farce continue.
Mayor Zhou was usually very kind to everyone, and many had tears in their eyes.
Secretary Li pulled out a handkerchief, wiped the tears from the corner of his eye, and then said solemnly, "Let's go in, everyone, to say goodbye to Old Zhou."
Saying this, Secretary Li pushed the door and walked into the ward, but when he stepped in, he suddenly froze.
He was not the only one stunned; so was everyone behind him.
Among them, the most shocked was Dean Tian. He knew Mayor Zhou's condition best, and it was supposedly beyond saving.
Yet the scene before him forced him to believe the unbelievable. That young man had truly made the impossible possible; he had actually saved Mayor Zhou.
"Old Zhou, you are really okay?" Secretary Li looked at Mayor Zhou with disbelief, even suspecting this to be a fleeting recovery before death.
Zhou Yunshan, looking at the crowd outside the door who were staring at him as if he were a monster, said, "I'm fine, I'm really sorry for worrying everyone."
"How is it possible that he actually saved Mayor Zhou!" Everyone's face showed shock.
"Dean, I have just examined Mayor Zhou, and all his health indicators have completely returned to normal," Su Yun handed a test report to Dean Tian.
Dean Tian's hands trembled slightly. He looked at the test report, his face filled with disbelief, "How is this possible? It's unscientific!"
"Lin Chen, thank you, thank you so much." Zhou Yufei was somewhat excited.
At that moment, Lin Chen felt a wave of dizziness in his head, and with the last bit of his strength, he gave Zhou Yufei a cool smile. The next second, everything went dark before his eyes, and he collapsed.
"Lin Chen, what's wrong with you..."
When Lin Chen awoke, he found himself lying on a stark white hospital bed.
Seeing the two familiar beautiful faces in front of him, Lin Chen even doubted if he was still dreaming.
Because sitting next to him were the two top beauties of the school, ranked number one and two.
If others knew that the two top beauties were watching over Lin Chen's bed, many lovesick boys would likely die of envy.
"Xiaochen, you're awake?" Seeing Lin Chen open his eyes, both Zhou Yufei and Zhao Xiaowen, looking somewhat tired, showed joyful smiles.
"You two are here!" Lin Chen sat up, looking at the two beauties, his heart sweet and warm.
