The Golden-Eyed Life of a Security Guard

Chapter 9 First Display of Skill

Lin Yue'e stood awkwardly at the foot of the building and said, "I've arrived. Thank you for treating me to dinner today."

To be honest, today is the happiest day of Lin Yue'e's life in decades.

It was the first time she had ever eaten bullfrog and fish, and the first time she had ever felt happiness with Gu Yuebai.

At Foreman Li's house, she experienced only hardship and torment.

"Lin Yue'e, my mom said your family isn't well-off, and she wants me to help you out. Give me your bank account number, and I'll transfer the money to you as a way of thanking you for taking care of my mom."

"No, no. I can earn my own money. His dad works on a construction site and earns tens of thousands a month. I don't need your pity."

Lin Yue'e suddenly became very emotional and hurriedly refused.

"Well, I heard your eldest son has a heart condition. Could I go up and take a look? I know medicine," Gu Yuebai asked again.

"You know medicine? Then your mother..." Lin Yue'e didn't quite believe Gu Yuebai's words.

"My medical skills can only treat serious illnesses; I can't treat minor ailments like headaches and fevers," Gu Yuebai explained. "Trust me, I really can."

Lin Yue'e gave Gu Yuebai a deep look, and after a long while, she finally agreed: "Alright, come up with me."

Lin Yue'e went upstairs through the dimly lit alley and arrived at the door of a slightly dilapidated house. She took out her key and opened the door.

A voice came from inside the house: "Lin Yue'e, are you trying to starve me to death? You're only coming back now!"

"My colleagues treated me to dinner today, so I'm late. Mom, wait for me a minute, I'll go cook right away."

Lin Yue'e hurriedly put down her canvas bag and rushed into the kitchen.

"Gu Yuebai, please have a seat. I'll be right there."

Just then, a pale-faced little boy came out of the bedroom. Seeing his mother busy inside, he quickly went over to help.

Two little girls came out of the house, and when they saw Gu Yuebai, they were a little shy and hid in their grandmother's arms, not daring to come out.

Gu Yuebai walked into the house somewhat awkwardly. Inside the main room, an elderly woman in her sixties sat on the sofa, cracking sunflower seeds, and asked warily, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

"Oh, I'm Lin Yue'e's colleague. I heard your child is sick. I know a little medicine, so I came to take a look?"

Gu Yuebai explained.

"You want to see a doctor for my eldest grandson? Okay, okay, Li Feng, come quick. The doctor's here to examine you."

The old woman strode briskly into the kitchen and brought Li Feng out.

Gu Yuebai pulled Li Feng to sit at a square table and pretended to take Li Feng's pulse.

While taking Li Feng's pulse, he observed Li Feng's expression and condition.

Li Feng looked to be only seven or eight years old, but he seemed very sensible and not shy in front of Gu Yuebai.

"Doctor, I have congenital heart disease. Is it expensive to treat it where you are?"

"It's nothing, just a few silver needles will do," Gu Yuebai said with a forced smile.

"Mom works hard to earn money, I don't want to spend too much," Li Feng said softly.

Gu Yuebai's gaze had already swept over Li Feng's body; his congenital heart disease was, in essence, a problem with his heart development.

"I need a quiet room. And I need nine silver needles."

Lin Yue'e came out, wiped her hands, and quickly said, "I have some, wait for me a moment."

Lin Yue'e went into the bedroom and quickly came out with a set of acupuncture needles.

"Mom isn't feeling well sometimes. I occasionally learn acupuncture and try to give her a treatment. Do you think it's okay?"

Gu Yuebai nodded.

"When I'm treating him, no one can disturb him. Don't open the door or bother me, otherwise, if the acupuncture fails, it could endanger the child's life." Gu Yuebai deliberately exaggerated the situation.

"Okay, I understand." Lin Yue'e nodded hurriedly.

Lin Yue'e led Gu Yuebai and Li Feng to Li Feng's room.

Gu Yuebai locked the door from the inside and made Li Feng lie down.

"Close your eyes for a moment, and no matter what happens, don't open them. Don't shout. Understand?" Gu Yuebai instructed.

"Okay, I'm not afraid of pain." Li Feng quickly lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.

"Take off all your clothes."

Li Feng did as instructed.

Following the knowledge inherited from Time Reversal Pupil, Gu Yuebai drew out silver needles and quickly inserted them into Li Feng's Baihui, Shenmen, and Tanzhong acupoints.

The already weak spiritual energy within his body was injected into Li Feng's body through the three silver needles.

The spiritual energy nourished Li Feng's heart, and Gu Yuebai's gaze was constantly fixed on the location of Li Feng's heart, observing the changes in Li Feng's heart through his body.

Dragon Soul Nine Needles: A powerful acupuncture technique.

It can determine life and death, sever yin and yang, kill enemies, and save lives.

Nine needles used simultaneously can reverse life and death!

However, with Gu Yuebai's current initial cultivation level, his spiritual power is insufficient, so he naturally cannot use the Nine Needles.

Using three needles is already the limit.

Moreover, the Dragon Soul Nine Needles consume a great deal of spiritual energy, and Gu Yuebai felt that she could not handle it, as her spiritual energy was being depleted very quickly.

After about an hour, Gu Yuebai felt dizzy and couldn't hold on any longer.

Left with no other choice, Gu Yuebai waved her hand, and the three silver needles instantly disappeared into her acupuncture bag.

He was unsteady on his feet, as if he had collapsed.

Li Feng slowly woke up and saw that Gu Yuebai's face was pale and she was swaying. He quickly got out of bed to help her up.

"Sir, are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Gu Yuebai left the bedroom with Li Feng's help.

Seeing that Gu Yuebai looked pale and was completely exhausted, as if he had been soaked in water, Lin Yue'e quickly came over to help him.

Lin Yue'e was only twenty-six years old, about the same age as Gu Yuebai. Her body still exuded a faint fragrance. Lin Yue'e's soft, boneless hand grasped Gu Yuebai's arm, which invigorated Gu Yuebai.

"Yue'e, Li Feng's condition won't relapse anytime soon. He'll need two or three more treatments. But I have to go back to Yuncheng, so I might not be able to visit him for a while."

Lin Yue'e nodded, "Thank you."

She didn't actually know how well Gu Yuebai had treated her eldest son, but out of politeness, she naturally had to thank him.

"Hmph, you've even called her Yue'e out. It seems your relationship is quite special."

The old woman stood to the side, speaking in a sarcastic tone.

Gu Yuebai didn't know what to say and simply walked out the door.

"Oh, by the way, I might not be able to visit my mother in the hospital for the next couple of days. I'll have to trouble you to take care of her for a few more days."

"It's nothing, it's all what I should do." Lin Yue'e didn't take it to heart.

"Oh dear, you want me to take care of your mother too? What kind of nonsense is that?" The old woman mocked even more brazenly.

"Mom, Gu Yuebai and I are colleagues. His mother is sick and staying at our hospital, so it's only natural for me to take care of her."

The old woman snorted coldly and shouted, "Go cook! Do you want to starve me to death? If I die, see if my son will beat you to death!"

Gu Yuebai immediately wanted to go up and argue with the old woman, but Lin Yue'e pulled him back and told him to go first.

Helpless, Gu Yuebai then left.
