Chapter 1644: Chapter 1644: So Are Joyful, So Are Worried
The applause erupted from the audience, instantly becoming fervent.
The clappers were all mbers of the Huaxia delegation.
They were all impressed by Ishihara Tarou’s magnanimity, applauding his humility, and cheering for Japan having such a noble character—fine, they were simply delighted that Ishihara Tarou’s words had slapped the Japanese officials in the face.
The Japanese officials and leading figures in the Japanese dical community were all stunned.
Especially the official from the Ministry of Health, whose face turned blue then red, feeling as if his wife and daughter had been violated, and wanted to strangle Ishihara Tarou. The other mbers of the Japanese traditional dical community were also in discomfort, feeling like they had been slapped in the face.
The mbers of the Huaxia delegation felt as sweet as if they had eaten honey, especially Hu Wenjun, who really wanted to rush to the stage and give Ishihara Tarou a kiss on the cheeks. Damn, this old man is adorable and truly a mutual friend of both Huaxia and Japan.
Suddenly, all the anger built up over the past few days vanished, replaced with a sense of relief.
Ishihara Tarou hadn’t finished speaking. Ignoring the reactions of those around him, he continued in an unhurried manner: “I have observed Mr. Luo Ziling’s acupuncture skills. The acupuncture techniques he knows are ones I have long wanted to learn but never mastered. I wanted to learn the Taiyi Divine Needle, but they have already improved it. Mr. Luo Ziling used his dical skills to successfully save a patient who was dood to die from Paraquat poisoning. This morning, I personally went to the ward to see the patient’s condition and found that his symptoms have greatly alleviated, and his various vital signs are slowly improving. This is a miracle, one I am confident I couldn’t create. I saw Mr. Luo Ziling’s treatnt process and understood that he used the improved Taiyi Divine Needle technique to expel all the remaining Paraquat from the patient’s body, even from the organs. Furthermore, the dicine he gave the patient prolonged life, a formula I have yet to perfect. Thus, in every aspect, Mr. Luo Ziling, who received the true teachings from his predecessor Luo Liansheng, surpasses in dical skills. I dare not compete with him, only hope he can enlighten .”
After saying these words, Ishihara Tarou bowed to the entire audience, then left his place, calling Ishihara Naka, ready to leave.
Another round of enthusiastic applause sounded throughout the venue, naturally coming from the mbers of the Huaxia delegation.
Ishihara Naka did not clap; he is a Japanese citizen with a strong sense of patriotism. Although he knew his grandfather’s words were true, he could not accept that his grandfather would admit defeat and leave like this, so he was very angry, even wanting to question his grandfather.
However, he lacked the courage to do so.
This morning, he accompanied his grandfather to the hospital to visit the patient who had been treated by Luo Ziling.
To their astonishnt, the patient’s liver, lung, and kidney functions had significantly improved, and various blood indicators continued to improve.
The hospital’s opinion was that the patient had entered a recovery phase and was no longer in danger of death.
Koizumi Miyaning, who had stayed up all night, personally introduced the patient’s condition to Ishihara Tarou.
Ishihara Tarou and Ishihara Naka were exceptionally shocked; if they hadn’t seen it themselves, they wouldn’t have believed such a miracle could happen.
After all, this was a patient poisoned by ingesting fifty or sixty milliliters of Paraquat.
The Japanese side hadn’t found a treatnt thod but was healed by a young man from Huaxia.
Thinking about Koizumi Miyaning, Ishihara Naka suddenly understood the situation.
Koizumi Miyaning had agreed with Luo Ziling that if the patient recovered, he would broadcast an apology from the Japanese personnel on television, and make that little deputy dean from the dical school kneel and apologize. What Grandfather did today was to help Koizumi Miyaning fulfill that promise.
Today’s events would certainly be reported to audiences nationwide through the dia.
Since Ishihara Tarou did this, he has the capability to push the report out; no one can hide it.
Even if they tried to hide it, the Huaxia delegation would find ways to report today’s events.
The promise made by Koizumi Miyaning had thus been fulfilled.
Regarding the other matter, which was getting the little old man to kneel and apologize, if Ishihara Tarou personally pleaded with Luo Ziling, Luo Ziling should give him so face by letting the little old man apologize in person, sparing him the kneeling—after all, Ishihara Tarou’s face is worth that much.
Once figuring it out, Ishihara Naka felt a little less resentnt.
The arrangent the Japanese side initially intended to salvage their reputation, due to Ishihara Tarou’s “betrayal,” imdiately beca a farce.
The Japanese side had pinned their hope on Ishihara Tarou, a top figure in traditional dicine, but once Ishihara Tarou admitted defeat, who else would have the confidence to compete? In the end, the official from the Ministry of Health left in a huff, using other governntal duties as an excuse, departed without bidding farewell to the Huaxia delegation, leaving his assistants to handle the aftermath.
Finally, the head of the Traditional Chinese dicine Cultural Park reluctantly accompanied the Huaxia delegation mbers for a tour.
Hu Wenjun also gave the Japanese so face by proposing near noon that they end today’s activities and return to the hotel to rest, without requiring any hospitality from the Japanese side. The Japanese side happily agreed to the proposal.
Thus, the triumphant delegation mbers boarded the bus, displaying the deanor of victors.
Gu Jian’an and Gu Changwei, the grandfather and grandson duo who had originally wanted to make an impression today and gain so reputation for themselves, sat there speechless after witnessing the day’s events. They were aware that the biggest beneficiary of today’s affair was Luo Ziling.
Luo Ziling utilized his grandfather Luo Liansheng’s reputation, and through Ishihara Tarou, successfully created a miracle, earning fa for the Huaxia delegation and glory for himself.
This made them envious but uncomfortable. However, in matters concerning national honor, they couldn’t stand on their country’s opposite side and go against Luo Ziling like Ishihara Tarou did.
Therefore, the only thing they could do was to continue keeping a low profile and let Luo Ziling perform as he wished.
However, they did not go up to offer their congratulations either.
The happiest among the delegation was still the leader, Hu Wenjun.
For days he had been holding back his frustration but had no ans to retaliate against the Japanese’s disgusting arrangents.
Today, he originally hoped that the delegation’s elites and Luo Ziling could heavily slap the Japanese in the face and earn prestige for Huaxia.
Unexpectedly, Ishihara Tarou had “betrayed,” and the Japanese slapped themselves while the Huaxia delegation’s mbers had regained their face without any effort. What could be more delightful than that?
Thus, although today’s events concluded hastily, Hu Wenjun didn’t find it ridiculous at all, but rather was extrely excited.
On the way back, he announced publicly that there would be a celebratory lunch in the na of the delegation, to honor everyone.
