Chapter 19 Lifespan Not Yet Over
"I don't know if the machine can lie, but the old lady can definitely be saved."
Qin Quan, too lazy to waste words, walked straight to Old Master Lin, his gaze sharp as a knife, and asked, word by word:
"Sir, judging from the old lady's appearance, she hasn't reached the end of her lifespan. Will you save her or not?"
Cultivators are inherently defying the heavens.
We must contend with Heaven, with Earth, and with other people.
Qin Quan never helps people defy fate, especially strangers.
Some consequences are bearable, while others are unbearable and not worth bearing.
However, the old woman's lifespan was not yet over.
Chung Chia-ming, however, hastily concluded that this action is tantamount to disregarding human life and is contrary to the principles of morality.
Whether it was for Lin Wanrou or for himself.
He is willing to bear the consequences of this.
Old Master Lin stared at Qin Quan for a long time with his cloudy eyes, his withered hands gripping Qin Quan's arm tightly, his voice trembling as he asked in a stiff tone:
"Master Qin... Master Qin... this old woman... she can really save her?"
"It can be saved!"
Qin Quan's tone was firm and his attitude was tough.
"Hmph, what a joke."
Zhong Jiaming, standing to the side, sneered:
"I graduated from West China Medical Center, hold a Harvard Medical School degree, have 25 years of medical experience, have received numerous awards, and have treated thousands, if not tens of thousands, of patients. Do you have the right to question my medical skills?"
"Old Master Lin, the old lady died of natural causes. People cannot be brought back to life. Please don't be fooled by this young man."
Old Master Lin looked troubled.
On one side is a martial arts master who saved the entire Lin family, and on the other side is a renowned doctor invited by the eldest son.
After a moment's deliberation, as if having made up his mind, he whispered:
"Dr. Zhong, I'm sorry, but this old woman is too important to me. Let Master Qin give it a try."
Zhong Jiaming's face was ashen as he stared intently at Qin Quan, his eyes burning with fury.
"I'd like to see how you bring an old man who died of natural causes back to life."
What is meant by natural death?
"The old lady isn't dead at all; she's been cursed!"
Qin Quan's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone present.
"What? Using witchcraft?"
Zhong Jiaming's expression suddenly changed, then returned to normal almost imperceptibly.
Immediately afterwards, he made sarcastic remarks.
"Why don't you just say she's possessed by a vengeful ghost?"
"Young man, modern medicine is based on science, not feudal superstitions like traditional Chinese medicine. Don't try to fool people with those charlatans."
"Quack doctor! Does he really think that just because he's studied abroad for a few years, he can slander the wisdom of our ancestors?"
Qin Quan didn't hold back and directly confronted him.
Traditional Chinese medicine is a profound and extensive culture, a product of five thousand years of civilization accumulated by our ancestors.
As a Chinese person, to belittle traditional Chinese medicine is to belittle the wisdom of our ancestors.
Qin Quan was too lazy to waste words with such a person, so he turned to look directly into the old man's eyes and asked again:
"Old man, give me a straight answer. Save me? I'll do it now; don't save me? I'll leave immediately and pretend I never came to the Lin family."
"save!"
Without the slightest hesitation or consideration for Zhong Jiaming's feelings, the old man made the final decision.
"Dad, who is this young man?"
Lin Guozhong panicked and quickly defended Zhong Jiaming.
"Dr. Zhong said my mother is beyond saving, and everyone has seen it; the data on the monitor has all dropped to zero. This is extremely disrespectful, and I strongly disagree."
Chung Chia-ming was someone he hired at a high price; he could save someone who was already presumed dead.
This is not only questioning Zhong Jiaming's medical skills, but also slapping his entire family in the face.
However, before Lin Guozhong could finish speaking, he was interrupted sternly by the old man.
"Shut the hell up!"
The old man's gloomy gaze swept across the room, and he said in a firm and resounding voice:
"Master Qin is a great benefactor of the Lin family and also the future son-in-law of the Lin family. Anyone who dares to question him is going against me, and I will break his legs even if it costs me my life."
After scolding his good-for-nothing eldest son, he turned to look at Qin Quan, a fawning smile instantly spreading across his aged face.
"Master Qin, how do you intend to save him? Please tell me how you need my cooperation!"
"You all go out, leave Wanrou here."
Qin Quan's tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable air of authority.
Overwhelmed with grief, Lin Wanrou finally came to her senses and, without the slightest hesitation, immediately sent them away.
"Grandpa, Uncle, Dad, you all go out first. I believe Qin Quan can save Grandma."
She had been overwhelmed by grief, but Qin Quan's outburst had calmed her down completely.
Although she is not a medical student, she is a renowned biologist whose research focuses on life sciences that are closely related to human beings.
Looking at her grandmother on the bed, a crazy idea flashed through her mind.
If I use my newly developed gene-editing drug on my grandmother, will she come back to life?
Upon realizing this, various data risks were rapidly calculated in her mind.
"Nonsense! Utter nonsense!"
Zhong Jiaming was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at Qin Quan, wishing he could slap him on the spot.
In my 25 years of medical practice, when have I ever suffered such humiliation?
"Young man, if you can't save the old lady, I'll take your life!"
Qin Quan raised his eyes, staring at the other person with a half-smile, his tone tinged with mockery.
"What will you do if I bring him back to life?"
Chung Chia-ming was in a fit of anger and couldn't stand such provocation.
"If you can save her, I will kneel down in public and call you grandpa, kowtow to you three times, and never practice medicine again in my life."
"Heh, I don't have a grandson as old as you."
"Stop talking nonsense! Do you dare to bet with me?"
"What is there to be afraid of?"
Qin Quan was confident and spoke with certainty, agreeing on the spot.
"Fine! I'll give you half an hour. If the old lady still has no heartbeat after half an hour, I'll take your dog's life."
Zhong Jiaming threw down those words viciously, flicked his sleeves, and stormed out of the room.
Lin Guozhong quickly followed, whispering in Zhong Jiaming's ear as they walked.
"Dr. Zhong, please calm down. What skills can a mere boy with no blood on his hands have? We can do this in a moment..."
He knows the old man too well.
This person is as stubborn as a donkey.
Once a decision is made, nothing can change it.
But he didn't believe Qin Quan had the ability to bring the dead back to life at all.
After saying a few words, Zhong Jiaming's anger subsided considerably. He walked towards the living room on the first floor, cursing and swearing, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes.
"If he can't save the old lady, we'll sue him for murder; if he can, we'll report him for practicing medicine without a license."
"Dr. Zhong is brilliant! This tactic works on both sides; we're guaranteed to win!"
Lin Guozhong gave Zhong Jiaming a thumbs-up and echoed him with a fawning expression.
……
Staircase entrance.
Watching the two figures leave, Lin Guohua looked worried and couldn't help but ask the old man.
"Dad, is Master Qin... really trustworthy?"
The old man's eyes were clear, and he asked a question in return.
"Why can't we believe it? If it weren't for Master Qin, our Lin family would have been completely devoured by Song Yunhui long ago."
"Besides, if your mother lives, it will be a blessing for us; if she doesn't, we won't lose anything."
"Old ginger is spicier!"
Lin Guohua was startled and stared blankly at his father.
