National Guardian's Gone and We're Done

If he suddenly said they weren’t going now,

then his family of three would surely suffer the cataclysmic disaster Yang Ling had spoken of.

Someone as busy as Qian Huixiong wasn’t there to play games with them.

Left with no choice, Sun Yuzhe could only sit in the car,

feeling like an ant on a hot pan as he went with them to stir up trouble.

...

In the courtyard of a house in the old district, Sun Xuesong was sitting in his wheelchair, basking in the sun.

Li Ping sat to the side, talking with Chu He.

The couple’s faces were filled with respect and apprehension.

In their eyes, they were just nobodies from the lowest rung of society.

Even though Chu He sat there with a gentle smile, they couldn’t bring themselves to relax.

Fortunately, at that moment, their daughter Sun Canxing came jogging in from outside.

Her smooth forehead was beaded with sweat.

She was carrying a pharmacy bag and took out a few boxes from inside. ”Mr. Chu, here are the disposable silver needles you asked me to buy. Are they suitable? If not, I can run to a few more pharmacies.”

”They’re fine.”

Chu He casually took a box and opened it.

”Mr. Chu, about my father’s legs...” Sun Canxing asked, her words trailing off.

Sun Xuesong’s legs were the most severely injured part of his body.

The grave injuries had caused him to lose all feeling in his lower body, leaving him paralyzed and bedridden.

At the time, the hospital had given them two options. One was to simply amputate.

The other was conservative treatment and rehabilitation to see if there was any hope for the future.

The doctor had been blunt back then, saying that, to put it plainly,

conservative treatment was ninety-nine percent self-deception; there was basically no chance of success.

But, he couldn’t deny that a 0.1% chance of success existed—a chance to reignite their hope.

For that 0.1% chance, after discussing it with her mother,

Sun Canxing chose conservative treatment for Sun Xuesong.

But in the blink of an eye, years had passed, and Sun Xuesong’s lower body still showed no response.

”I’ve already examined him. It is indeed very serious. And that 0.1% chance the doctor mentioned? It never existed. If this continues, I’m afraid the legs will become necrotic, and amputation will be inevitable. So, if the injury weren’t this severe, I could have had your father standing up today.”

Chu He possessed Yin Yang Power.

The aspect of that power representing the Qi of Life could directly restore vitality to Sun Xuesong’s lower body.

However, because Sun Xuesong had been paralyzed and bedridden for so long,

if too much Qi of Life were infused directly, his body wouldn’t be able to handle it.

It might even lead to a more severe outcome.

Therefore, Chu He devised a solution: he would use silver needles.

He would use them to slowly channel the Qi of Life into him.

This method would allow him to complete the treatment in a way Sun Xuesong’s body could withstand.

”The treatment will begin now. There’s no need to be pessimistic. He should be able to stand again in about ten to fifteen days.”

Chu He casually pinched a few silver needles and inserted them directly into several acupoints on Sun Xuesong’s legs.

A faint, silvery light coated the surface of these needles.

Afterward, Chu He inserted more than ten additional silver needles into Sun Xuesong’s legs.

”Dad, can you feel anything?”

Sun Canxing walked over and asked expectantly.

”What’s the use of asking now?”

”How could it be that fast?”

”Even poison needs a moment to work.”

Li Ping tugged her daughter Sun Canxing’s arm and said reproachfully.

Li Ping said this out of fear of angering Chu He.

After all, Li Ping knew Sun Xuesong’s condition all too well.

Even if the divine physician Hua Tuo himself were resurrected, it would be difficult for him to heal Sun Xuesong.
