Then, she pulled out a treasured "battle dress" from her suitcase: an extremely sexy, minimally embellished black low-cut deep V-neck tight-fitting long dress! The skirt had a high slit, almost reaching the top of her thigh.

She tossed her long hair with captivating charm, sprayed on the most expensive perfume, and selected several priceless luxury gift sets.

She was willing to sacrifice herself! She would use her most valuable asset—her body, coveted by countless men—to quell the young boss's anger! Even if…even if it was just spending a few days with him! As long as he calmed down and let her go…

"To the affiliated hospital of the medical university! Quickly!"

Yun Jia hissed orders at the driver, her eyes filled with desperate desperation and a hint of morbid expectation.

At 5 p.m. sharp, the glaring red "Operating in Progress" light on the operating room door finally went out.

The door slowly opened, and Qin Luo's figure appeared in the doorway.

His white coat was already soaked with sweat, clinging tightly to his body and outlining his tired yet still upright figure.

His face showed undisguised fatigue, and his lips were chapped, but his deep eyes revealed a hint of relief.

"Mr. Ye!"

Ni Ruolan, who had been standing guard at the door like a stone statue, suddenly rushed forward, grabbing Qin Luo's arm tightly with both hands, her voice trembling with sobs and extreme tension.

"My grandfather... my grandfather he..."

Qin Luo gently patted the back of her hand, revealing a relieved smile, and announced in a hoarse but clear voice.

"The surgery was a success. The intracranial hemorrhage has been cleared, and the damaged nerves have been repaired to the greatest extent possible. His vital signs are stable, and he is out of danger. With proper rest, a full recovery is just around the corner."

"Really?! That's wonderful! That's wonderful!!"

An overwhelming joy instantly engulfed Ni Ruolan!
She could no longer hold back, and tears streamed down her face—not from sadness, but from overwhelming joy and gratitude!
She gripped Qin Luo's hand tightly, repeating herself incoherently.

"Thank you! Thank you so much, Mr. Ye! I really... I don't know how to thank you enough! You are the benefactor of the Ni family! The benefactor of our whole family!"

Qin Luo shook his head wearily, his tone carrying the calmness and humility characteristic of a doctor.

“Miss Ni, you flatter me. Saving lives is a doctor’s duty. Mr. Ni’s recovery is due to his own strong will to live, as well as the result of everyone’s joint efforts. There’s no need for thanks.”

His gaze swept over Zhang Yuanchao, Huang Weimin, and the others who had gathered around, and he nodded slightly.

At the beginning of the surgery, Qin Luo asked all the Western doctors to leave the operating room, leaving only a few top figures in the Fujian traditional Chinese medicine community, including Zhang Yuanchao.

Zhang Yuanchao and the others now fully understood his intentions. Qin Luo was not one to hold back!
His divine skill of combining the "Thirteen Ghost Needles" and the "Taiyi Divine Needle" was crystal clear at every step. He deliberately slowed down the pace and even whispered a few words about the key points of the needling technique and the mystery of the fusion of the two needle forces at certain key points!
He was preaching! He was showing his unparalleled skills to his fellow practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine without reservation, hoping that the knowledge could be passed down and benefit more patients!

For Zhang Yuanchao, Huang Weimin, Li Ping, and several other white-haired masters of traditional Chinese medicine, those nine hours were nothing short of a feast for the mind and the soul!
They were completely absorbed, utterly captivated. Although they could only grasp a fraction of it, they felt as if they had glimpsed a completely new and boundless world of acupuncture! Many medical problems that had troubled them for years seemed to have found a glimmer of hope under the mysterious acupuncture techniques!
They also fully understood that the decline of traditional Chinese medicine was not due to inferior skills, but precisely because many precious traditions were too conservative and hoarded, leading to the loss of its essence and the obscuring of its brilliance! Qin Luo's actions were tantamount to lighting a lamp in the darkness, paving a new path for the revival of traditional Chinese medicine!
At this moment, the surgery was successful, and the matter was settled.

Zhang Yuanchao, Huang Weimin, Li Ping, and several other veteran Chinese medicine doctors exchanged glances, all seeing the same shock, gratitude, and heartfelt respect in each other's eyes!

Without a word, seven or eight authoritative figures, renowned in the field of traditional Chinese medicine in Fujian and even across the country, bowed deeply and solemnly to Qin Luo as if by telepathy.
"Mr. Ye, your kindness is immense! Your teachings are like a second birth! Please accept our deepest respect!"

Zhang Yuanchao's voice, filled with barely suppressed excitement and trembling, spoke for everyone.

They admired Qin Luo not only for saving Old Ni's life, but also for his compassionate heart and masterful demeanor as a physician who broke down barriers, cared for all living beings, and selflessly imparted his unique medical skills!

"Esteemed seniors! This...this is unacceptable! Please rise!"

Qin Luo was taken aback by this unexpected gift and quickly stepped forward to help him up. He was both touched and flattered.

"You are all senior figures in the medical field, highly respected and virtuous. I have only done my duty and am unworthy of such a great gift!"

"I deserve it! Absolutely!"

Zhang Yuanchao was helped up by Qin Luo, who held his hand tightly, his old eyes filled with tears.

"Mr. Ye's magnanimity and medical skills are truly a model for us all! Traditional Chinese medicine is fortunate to have Mr. Ye!"

At this moment, Ni Tieniu, who had been standing guard like an iron tower, also strode forward.

This resolute soldier, bearing the rank of major, faced Qin Luo.

With a sharp "snap," he gave a perfectly crisp military salute! His eyes were sharp as knives, yet filled with sincere gratitude and the unwavering commitment of a soldier!
"Mr. Ye!"

Ni Tieniu's voice was strong and resonant.

“You saved my grandfather’s life, which means you saved the entire Ni family! I, Ni Tieniu, will always remember this kindness! From now on, you are my benefactor! No matter when or where, if you need me, just say the word, and I, Ni Tieniu, will go through fire and water for you without batting an eye!”

He took out a simple business card with only his name and special contact information, and handed it to Qin Luo with both hands.

Qin Luo solemnly accepted the heavy business card, realizing that Old Master Ni's identity was probably much more illustrious than he had imagined.

He nodded.

"Major Ni, you flatter me. Old Master Ni is a blessed man, and will surely have good fortune in the future."

Nine hours of intense, life-or-death struggle left Qin Luo feeling unprecedentedly exhausted, as if his body had been hollowed out.

All he wants now is to find a comfortable big bed and sleep soundly for three days and three nights.

Of course, the prerequisite is to first fill that already hungry stomach.

Just as he was about to take his leave, Zhang Yuanchao spoke again, his tone earnest and expectant.

"Mr. Ye, I have another request, and I hope you can consider it."

"Please go on, Mr. Zhang."

"I humbly request that Mr. Ye condescend to serve as a specially invited professor at our school, Mindu Medical University!"

Zhang Yuanchao's eyes were burning.

"Traditional Chinese medicine is currently in decline, and young students, influenced by the general environment, lack confidence in it and are not very motivated to learn. The impact of Western medicine has further led many students to believe that traditional Chinese medicine is 'unscientific' and 'backward.' I earnestly request that you spare some time to give a lecture to our school's students majoring in traditional Chinese medicine! Let them witness firsthand the true breadth and depth of Chinese medical skills! Let them know that the treasures passed down from our ancestors are in no way inferior to anyone else's! Perhaps, your lecture can ignite the flame of their passion for the inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine!"

[Ding! Invitation from a key figure detected, triggering the side quest "Passing on the Torch of Medicine"]

[Mission Requirements: Accept Zhang Yuanchao's invitation to serve as a guest professor at Mindu Medical University and teach classes for students of Traditional Chinese Medicine.]

[Task Rewards, ???]

[Failure penalty: None]

[Does the host accept it? 】

The system notification sounded in Qin Luo's mind.

Another confidential reward? Qin Luo's heart skipped a beat. Based on previous experience, the more confidential something was, the greater its value usually was.

He glanced at Zhang Yuanchao's expectant and sincere eyes, and then thought of the old Chinese medicine doctors in the operating room who were eager to learn.

Perhaps, doing something for traditional Chinese medicine is a meaningful thing.

Moreover, the secret reward is truly tempting.

"Okay." Qin Luo nodded without much hesitation.

"I dare not refuse Professor Zhang's kind invitation. I have accepted the invitation to be a special professor and to teach the class. We can discuss the specific time later."

"That's great! That's great!!"

Zhang Yuanchao was so excited he almost jumped up, and he gripped Qin Luo's hand tightly.

"Mr. Ye, on behalf of all the teachers and students of the school, and on the future of traditional Chinese medicine, I thank you!!"

Qin Luo was finally able to escape and dragged his tired body toward the elevator.

As soon as I pressed the button, I heard a trotting sound behind me.

"Mr. Ye! Mr. Ye! Wait for me!"

Nurse Sweetie caught up, panting, her little face flushed.

"You...you must be starving after a long day, right? I know a restaurant outside the hospital that serves good food. Let me treat you to a meal! Consider it a thank you for teaching my grandfather acupuncture, and also...and for standing up for my grandfather this morning!"

She was referring to Zhang Yuanchao's outburst of anger in the cafeteria over Qin Luo being cyberbullied.

Qin Luo was indeed starving and too weak to refuse. Looking at Xiao Tiantian's sincere and enthusiastic smile, he nodded.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Sweet Nurse."

"No trouble at all! Follow me!"

Little Sweetie happily led the way.

As the two walked out of the hospital, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, bringing a touch of warmth.

Qin Luo took a deep breath of fresh air, feeling his tense nerves finally relax a bit.

Across the street from the hospital entrance, a strikingly pink Porsche 911 sat quietly.

The car windows were tinted dark, making it impossible to see inside.

Inside the car, Yun Jia was staring intently at the hospital entrance.

She was meticulously dressed, with impeccable makeup and thick, long, curly hair that radiated an alluring shine.

The black, low-cut, deep-V, tight-fitting long dress she wore revealed her stunning figure, and her snow-white cleavage was faintly visible in the dimly lit car.

On the seat next to me were several gift boxes bearing the logos of luxury brands.

She had been waiting here for almost an hour.

When she finally saw Qin Luo appear, her heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively tried to push open the car door and rush out.

However, the next second, she saw Little Sweetie, who was chatting and laughing with Qin Luo and full of youthful energy, right next to him!
Yun Jia froze instantly! A surge of intense jealousy and resentment welled up inside her! Who was that little nurse?! How dare she get so close to him? And smile so happily?! Was her carefully prepared "sacrifice" plan going to be ruined by this little brat?

She bit her bright red lips, her nails digging deep into her palms.

No! Don't act impulsively! Wait! Wait until that annoying little nurse leaves!
She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the irritation and a strange pang of sadness in her heart, and continued to lurk inside the car like a venomous snake waiting for its prey.

In a nice restaurant near the hospital.

Qin Luo and Xiao Tiantian sat facing each other.

The food was served quickly, and Qin Luo, not caring about his image, devoured it like a whirlwind. When you're starving, everything tastes delicious.

Little Sweetie couldn't help but chuckle as she watched Qin Luo wolf down his food, but then, remembering something, her face turned serious.

She took out her phone, hesitated for a moment, and then handed it to Qin Luo.

"Mr. Ye...you...you were in the operating room today, and your phone was switched off. Something very important happened outside, concerning you..."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

Qin Luo picked up a piece of spare rib and asked vaguely.

"You...you've been cyberbullied!"

Xiaotian opened a Douyin account and found relevant topics and screenshots of trending searches that had been suppressed but still left traces, as well as a video of Yun Jia apologizing that she had saved.

"It's this internet celebrity named Yun Jia! She distorted the truth in her live stream, incited her fans to curse you, and even doxxed you! She caused quite a stir! Later... later it seems that Douyin (TikTok) intervened and banned all her accounts! She even released this apology video..."

Qin Luo put down his chopsticks, took the phone, and watched with great interest the scene on the screen where Yun Jia was crying her eyes out and kowtowing in apology.

He raised an eyebrow, a wry smile on his face.

"Heh...you're pretty quick."

He shook his head, his tone tinged with a mixture of amusement and helplessness.

"This apology... is really 'sincere'."

He didn't expect that before he could even deal with the buzzing fly, Douyin had already taken care of it for him.

It seems that Xia Minmin's execution ability is indeed quite good.

The deep blue Koenigsegg, like a ghost, silently glided into the underground parking lot of Yipin International and came to a steady stop in its designated parking space.

Outside the car window, the city's neon lights were already lit, turning the night into a hazy sea of ​​light.

Qin Luo glanced at the time on the dashboard; it was 7:10 PM.

He turned off the engine, picked up the phone that had been dormant all day from the passenger seat, and pressed the power button.

Buzz!

The screen lit up instantly, and then, like a volcano that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly erupting, the WeChat message notification sounds rang out frantically and incessantly! The screen was instantly filled with countless small red dots.

Qin Luo frowned slightly, unlocked the screen, and opened WeChat. The message list instantly flooded the screen.

Chen Yi-han, 15 unread messages

Liu Piaopiao, 12 unread messages

Xiao Ruoxi, 8 unread messages

Ai Yiqian, 5 unread messages

There were even a few names that we don't usually contact.

He glanced at the contents; they were almost identical. (End of Chapter)
