From rejecting the beautiful female CEO to becoming extremely powerful

As soon as the emergency room door closed, Huo Lie raised his hand to stop Lu Yunzhou.

Lu Yunzhou reached out and pushed away the cane, his gaze passing over him and landing on Huo Chengyuan on the hospital bed.

"If this drags on any longer, he won't last five minutes."

Huo Lie's Adam's apple bobbed, but he didn't move aside.

Luo Qingyi hurried in and grabbed Lu Yunzhou's sleeve: "Yunzhou, the patient's condition is out of control. His liver and kidney functions are declining at the same time, and his breathing is also failing."

Her voice was very low, but her eyes were fixed on the monitoring screen.

"We just conducted three poison tests, and all the results were negative. The condition is still worsening after taking the medication, and we can't find the cause at all."

Lu Yunzhou walked to the bedside and lifted Huo Chengyuan's eyelids.

When the light shone on the patient, their eyes became sluggish and their eye movements were not flexible.

The tongue was covered with a thick, greasy yellow coating, the nail bed was bluish-gray, and the arm was still twitching uncontrollably.

He then pressed down on Huo Chengyuan's wrist.

His pulse was irregular and stopped every few beats.

Lu Yunzhou looked up at Luo Qingyi: "Pull up the nerve reflexes, liver and kidney indicators, and blood oxygen records."

Luo Qingyi immediately asked the nurse to fetch the documents.

Lu Yunzhou bent down to smell the patient's breath, then pulled open his collar and looked at the needle mark on the side of his neck.

Two light blue marks remained around the needle hole.

"This is a complex neurotoxin."

Lu Yunzhou withdrew his hand, his tone direct: "The first layer of poison disrupts the nerves, and the second layer enters the organs through the bloodstream. The hospital can't detect it because the two drug catalysts are mixed together, and conventional equipment cannot distinguish the complete components."

Luo Qingyi's expression changed: "Can he be saved?"

"able."

Lu Yunzhou turned and walked towards the door, looking at Huo Lie through the glass: "Saving people is fine, but the consultation fee is 800 million."

Everyone in the corridor heard it.

Huo Lie's face froze for a moment, and his cane stopped on the ground.

"Are you taking advantage of our misfortune?"

"Is your son's life only worth this much money?"

Lu Yunzhou opened the medical equipment cart, took out silver needles, and said without turning his head, "Eight hundred million is the total price, and eighteen million is the start-up capital. If you can afford it, I'll start treatment now. If not, let the hospital continue the emergency treatment."

Huo Lie's chest heaved as the thugs behind him gripped the steel pipes tightly.

A man in a black shirt leaned close to his ear and whispered a few words.

Huo Lie looked up at Lu Yunzhou: "I'll give you eighteen million in cash."

"Cash is too slow."

Lu Yunzhou closed the needle case: "I need a bank guarantee that can be verified on the spot. Once the guarantee is confirmed, I'll go into the emergency room."

Huo Lie raised his hand and made a phone call.

Less than three minutes later, an assistant ran over with a file bag and handed Luo Qingyi a stamped guarantee letter.

The hospital's finance department and the bank verified the information online, and confirmation was quickly given over the phone.

Luo Qingyi loosened her grip on the document.

"The guarantee is valid."

Huo Lie stepped aside, his eyes blazing with suppressed anger: "Can we save him now?"

Lu Yunzhou put on gloves and walked towards the hospital bed: "You all go out, Dr. Luo stays. The rest of you stand guard outside the door. Anyone who dares to come in, break their legs first."

Huo Lie did not agree.

Lu Yunzhou stopped and turned to look at him: "Your son has three minutes left. If you want to die with him, I can leave now."

Huo Lie pursed his lips into a thin line, and finally waved for everyone to leave.

The emergency room door closed again.

Luo Qingyi placed the medical record folder aside and stared at Lu Yunzhou as he laid out his acupuncture needles: "What are you planning to do?"

"Block the three main meridians to cut off the upward flow of the poison."

Lu Yunzhou took out silver needles and inserted them into Huo Chengyuan's neck, chest and abdomen acupoints in turn.

With each injection, the monitoring sound beside the bed changed.

Huo Chengyuan's arm stopped twitching, but his breathing became more rapid.

Luo Qingyi looked at the blood oxygen level: "It's still dropping."

"Keep watching."

Lu Yunzhou pressed down on the last silver needle, and his internal energy surged out along the meridians, entering the patient's body through the needle.

Huo Chengyuan's body tensed, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Several silver needles trembled simultaneously.

Lu Yunzhou's face darkened.

The poison has already entered the organs; simply sealing the acupoints can only delay the inevitable.

If the toxins are forcibly expelled, Huo Chengyuan's liver and kidneys will be the first to fail.

He withdrew some of his power, splitting his true energy into several streams, and gradually separated the toxins along his blood vessels.

Luo Qingyi stood to the side, her palm pressing on the edge of the cart, even her breathing became soft.

Dark red liquid gradually seeped from the drainage tube under the hospital bed.

The monitor beeped sharply several times in a row.

Lu Yunzhou raised his hand and pressed it against Huo Chengyuan's chest, his true energy suddenly increasing.

The patient made a muffled sound in his throat, arched his body, and spat out a mouthful of dark red liquid with a fishy smell.

Luo Qingyi immediately handed over the gauze.

Lu Yunzhou did not stop. He moved the silver needles along the acupoints on his chest and abdomen, forcing the toxins in his blood to be expelled.

Ten minutes later, Huo Chengyuan's breathing gradually stabilized.

Blood oxygen levels rose, and the pulse returned to normal.

Luo Qingyi stared at the screen, her voice barely audible: "He's out of shock."

"The first layer of poison has been expelled."

Lu Yunzhou removed the silver needles, a bead of sweat dripping from his forehead: "Keep him quiet, don't give him any sedatives. Check his blood oxygen and pulse every half hour tonight."

Luo Qingyi looked at Huo Chengyuan on the bed: "Has the cause of the illness been resolved?"

Lu Yunzhou put the silver needles back into the box: "It's temporarily suppressed."

That stuff had already seeped deep into the bone marrow; the true energy I just used only cleared away the first layer of poison in the blood.

If everything is revealed now, Huo Lie will only continue to go crazy, and the hospital will be unable to function properly because of him.

Lu Yunzhou pushed open the door and went out.

Huo Lie immediately stepped forward, his iron ring brushing against his cane, his voice dry: "How is my son?"

"His life has been saved."

Huo Lie relaxed his shoulders slightly, then stared intently at him again: "When will you wake up?"

"He'll wake up once tonight after the medication wears off."

Huo Lie turned to look at the emergency room: "Eight hundred million. If you take the money and still can't cure him, I'll make your whole family pay with their lives."

Lu Yunzhou walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder.

"The initial payment has been made. The remaining amount will be paid after your son has fully recovered."

Huo Lie gritted his teeth, and the fat on his face twitched.

Lu Yunzhou withdrew his hand: "We need to prepare for the next treatment as soon as possible. The longer we delay, the harder it will be to clear the poison."

"How many more treatments are needed?"

I'll let you know when the time comes.

After Lu Yunzhou finished speaking, he turned and walked towards Luo Qingyi.

Huo Lie stood there, staring at his back, his hands gradually clenching.

Luo Qingyi caught up with Lu Yunzhou, and the two entered the elevator.

After the door closed, she asked in a low voice, "You had a backup plan just now?"

Lu Yunzhou leaned against the elevator wall and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"His son still has a second medicinal ingredient in his body."

Why didn't you tell Huo Lie?

"Tell him, and he'll search the entire hospital immediately. That stuff is already in the bone marrow; there's no point in telling him tonight."

Luo Qingyi lowered her brows: "Did the person who poisoned the medicine deliberately divide it into two layers?"

"The other party wants to make Huo Lie panic first, and then let him bite people everywhere."

As the elevator numbers continued to drop, Lu Yunzhou's gaze fell on the fluctuating floor numbers.

"Huo Lie is one of the seven seats. If he loses control because of his son, chaos will break out among the seven seats first. Someone wants to use him to tear apart this balance."
