"Then you can check the patient's palms and the back of his neck," Su Chen said.
After hearing Su Chen's words, the other mbers of the Lin Family were all puzzled, not understanding what Su Chen really ant.
However, Xu Bo seed to think of sothing, his body suddenly shook, and then he quickly tilted the old master Lin's head slightly.
When he saw sothing resembling a green speckled mark on the back of the neck, his pupils shrank sharply.
Then he hurriedly ran to the back and looked at the sole of old master Lin's foot.
"This, this...?"
Xu Bo pointed at old master Lin, sowhat inarticulately.
"Dr. Xu, what exactly is it?"
Lin Wenting's heart also trembled, asking anxiously.
"It really is... really is—poisoned!"
Xu Bo muttered, his expression filled with shock!
He had just rembered that people poisoned with Speckled Ball Poison's most distinctive feature was akin to green speckled marks on the soles of the feet and the back of the neck.
He couldn't help but look towards Su Chen; who exactly was this young man?
How could he spot the poisoning at a glance, and even know exactly what poison it was?
And the mbers of the Lin Family were instantly astir!
They had never expected that the old master would actually be poisoned!
Of course, they were also curious about how Su Chen knew this, but they didn't have ti to ponder that right now.
Because what they were thinking about was, how did the old master get poisoned? Who could have poisoned him?
The old master was basically at ho every day, rarely going out, so the most likely culprit would naturally be soone within the household, but who could it be?
Each person couldn't help but take a glance at the people around them, speculating who it could be, but this matter was just too serious, and nobody dared to speak recklessly!
This was murder, and what's more, the murder of the old master!
In fact, Lin Wenlong and his son had both trembled slightly when Su Chen first revealed that the old master was poisoned.
But since everyone's gaze and thoughts were on the old master at that ti, who would notice this?
"But the person is already dead, even if we know it was caused by poison, it's useless!"
Xu Bo couldn't help saying, his attitude not as arrogant as before.
"Dead?"
Su Chen curled his lip, saying with full confidence,
"Today I will let you witness what is called 'resurrecting the dead'!"
The mbers of the Lin Family shuddered again upon hearing this, what, resurrecting the dead?
Was he joking?
After speaking, Su Chen took out the long cloth bag he was carrying, then placed the cloth bag on the bedside table, and took out two Silver Needles.
Just as Su Chen was preparing to insert the needles, suddenly a voice sounded.
"Stop!"
Lin Chao stepped out from the crowd, saying sternly,
"Su Chen, grandfather is already dead, I won't allow you to offend him like this!"
"Lin Chao, what do you an?"
Su Chen paused slightly, giving Lin Chao a aningful glance.
Seeing Su Chen look at him that way, Lin Chao's heart tightened, but he still pretended to be righteous and indignant as he said,
"Su Chen, do you not understand the principle that death is paramount? Dr. Xu already declared that grandfather is gone, what you're doing is hugely disrespectful to grandfather!"
To speak the truth, people in Huaxia do take the principle of death being paramount seriously; that is, once soone dies, their body should not be tampered with as it would be seen as disrespect to the deceased.
But the current problem is, Dr. Xu said the patient had already died, yet Su Chen claid that the person was not dead yet, and there lies a huge difference.
If old master Lin truly had passed, then anything Su Chen does to the body would obviously be inappropriate.
But if old master Lin wasn't dead, Su Chen's actions would be completely justified.
If it had been earlier, everyone would have certainly trusted Dr. Xu's judgnt, but just now Su Chen had ntioned the poisoning that even Dr. Xu had not detected, and this caused everyone to hesitate.
"What do you all think, none of you agree with treating the old man?"
Su Chen swept his gaze over everyone and asked with a light chuckle.
"Husband, is Grandpa really not dead? Can you truly bring Grandpa back to life?"
Lin Ruoxue walked over and asked solemnly.
"Wife, do you not trust your husband anymore?"
Su Chen said with a slight smile.
"Okay, Husband, I believe you!"
Seeing Su Chen's smile, Lin Ruoxue also inexplicably gained more confidence.
"I also believe in Su Chen!"
At this mont, Lin Wenting also stood up to show her support for Su Chen.
"I believe in Brother-in-law too!" This was the voice of Lin Hao.
Seeing their daughter and younger sister already in agreent, the couple Lin Wenqing and Zhang Xinlan also nodded in consent.
Following them, the second child of the Lin Family, Lin Wenbin's family, also agreed and nodded.
Seeing that three of the patriarch's four children had given their consent, the other branches of the family also agreed to let Su Chen give it a try.
Although they still thought there was little hope, they obviously did not wish for the patriarch to die.
"Chao, let little Su have a try. Even though death is significant, we mustn't give up as long as there is a sliver of possibility," Lin Wenlong spoke at this point, and then looked at Su Chen and added,
"Su Chen, it's all on you now."
"I won't disappoint you."
Su Chen said with an implication.
Seeing that the Lin Family had all agreed, the doctors couldn't say much more, even though they thought it was a pointless endeavor.
A person already confird dead, what was there to save?
"Since that's the case, you all should leave now."
Su Chen waved his hand and said.
"Alright, everyone, let's go out and allow Su Chen to work in peace."
Lin Wenting cooperated in ushering everyone out.
"Mr. Su, may I stay and observe?"
Though Xu Bo trusted his judgnt, he began to waver slightly, recalling how this young man instantly recognized the poison that the elder had suffered from.
Su Chen glanced at him and then nodded:
"Then, you can assist ."
"Thank you very much."
Xu Bo actually wanted to see what this young man was basing his ability to cure death upon!
Now, only Su Chen and Xu Bo were left in the operating room. Su Chen's expression beca extrely serious instantly, a stark change from his previous deanor, and even Xu Bo couldn't help but marvel.
Su Chen, however, paid no mind to Xu Bo's thoughts. He took the two Silver Needles that he had been holding between his fingers and thrust them into the patriarch's heart area.
He then gently twisted the needles, and soon, a strange phenonon occurred!
One could see that fresh blood began to ooze slowly from the edges of the two needles, mixed with a very faint black color, clearly indicating poisoned blood.
"Eh, when I operated on the old man, how co I didn't notice any blackness in the blood?"
Xu Bo asked in surprise, thinking that if he had seen this scene earlier, he would have guessed poison right away.
But the fact was, he had operated for several hours, and the patient had bled a lot, but it was all bright red.
Su Chen did not answer him because even if he did, the other party surely would not understand.
The ancient art of Chinese dicine can hardly be explained in a word or two, and right now, Su Chen had neither the interest nor the ti to give the other party a lesson.
Because if Su Chen didn't act, it was fine, but once he started, he absolutely couldn't stop, otherwise the patriarch would really be gone... Find more to read at My Virtual Library Empire
