Free Web NovelChapter 1189: Chapter 1189: Temporary Suppression
Jiang Xue sat alone in the next room, feeling somewhat bored. After a while, she simply closed her eyes to rest. It took some time before the middle-aged man came over to Jiang Xue and said, "Young doctor, do you have any way to temporarily suppress the Gu poison in the old leader’s body?"
"What, you haven’t discussed it yet?"
"Yes, the old leader hasn’t made a decision yet."
"It’s not that there’s no way to suppress it, but it can only be suppressed for a maximum of three months." As soon as Jiang Xue finished speaking, the other party immediately said, "Fine, three months is three months, please go ahead, young doctor."
Jiang Xue nodded, then returned to the compartment where the elderly person was. When Jiang Xue came in, Ah Huan immediately looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "How is it, is it doable?"
"Three months."
"Three months? That’s so short?" Ah Huan was somewhat dissatisfied. Three months was too short. He was worried that before they could find out anything, his father would suffer another outbreak.
"What did you expect?" Jiang Xue glanced at Ah Huan, then went to look at the elderly man. Seeing that the old man was in relatively good spirits, she stepped forward and said, "I can only suppress your poison for three months without any outbreaks. However, when it does flare up, it will be more painful than it is now."
"No problem, go ahead." The elderly man said carelessly.
Hearing this, Jiang Xue said no more. She took out the silver needles from her body and had the elderly man lie down, then she said, "I’m going to start."
"Alright!" The old man nodded, indicating that he was ready. Jiang Xue took out the silver needles and began to apply acupuncture on the elderly man.
After the first needle, the elderly man slowly closed his eyes.
Ah Huan watched and was startled, asking, "What’s going on?"
"Why are you so anxious? I hit his sleep acupoint!" Jiang Xue coldly replied, then applied the second needle.
Jiang Xue applied a total of eighteen needles to the elderly man before stopping, then she told Ah Huan and Lan Yuan, "The needles need to stay in him for five minutes. Once I remove them, he will wake up. For the next three months, the poison won’t flare up."
Having said that, Jiang Xue sat down nearby to wait. Five minutes later, Jiang Xue removed the silver needles. As the last needle was removed, the elderly man slowly opened his eyes.
"Dad, how are you feeling?"
"I’m fine, don’t worry. The young doctor’s skills are good. I used to feel something moving inside, but now there’s no sensation at all."
"The acupuncture just now put the Gu worm to sleep. If they don’t activate the mother Gu, the Gu worm in your body will remain dormant for three months. But if they do activate the mother Gu, then you’ll be in the same situation as today."
As soon as Jiang Xue finished speaking, Ah Huan’s face changed suddenly, glaring at her and saying, "Didn’t you just say you could guarantee three months? How come it sounds different now?"
Jiang Xue glanced at Ah Huan and explained, "My guarantee of three months is based on the mother worm not being activated, which means it won’t flare up. You know, the mother and child are connected. Once the mother worm has issues, the child worm will naturally have problems too."
"You—?"
"Enough, Ah Huan," the elderly man interjected, and Ah Huan had no choice but to close his mouth and look at Jiang Xue with displeasure.
He felt deceived by Jiang Xue. But since his parents wouldn’t let him speak, he dared not disobey them. Jiang Xue wasn’t bothered by Ah Huan’s discontent.
After storing away the silver needles, she looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "Do you have pen and paper?"
The middle-aged man quickly took out a pen and a small notebook and handed them to Jiang Xue. She took the pen and quickly wrote down a series of numbers in the notebook.
