Chapter 500 - Demeanour

Chapter 500 Demeanour

On the contrary, at this moment, Ding Ning disregarded the previous ill, made full use of every minute to relieve her pain and finally saved her from the inhuman torture.

Yan Xun’s face darkened. There were several ways to detoxify gastrodia elata powder. Given the limited time, he taught Yan Hao the simplest and easiest way to detoxify it.

However, Ding Ning treated Yue Tingting in the most skillful way which got instant results and could minimize the sequela of gastrodia elata powder to the extent possible. It made him realize that this Little Miracle-working Doctor was really incredible with medical skills far beyond that of Yan Hao.

Reaching up to drew the silver needles out, Ding Ning straightened up and gently shook his head. “I’m done. But the gastrodia elata powder to which you were exposed has a certain sequela and will leave a lot of pockmarks and scars on your face.”

“Ah! What should I do? Great Doctor Ding, please help me.”

Taking out her make-up mirror and seeing that the rash on her face had disappeared but were replaced by a lot of pockmarks and scratches, Yue Tingting experienced ups and downs of mood in an instant as if on a roller coaster. She begged with a miserable face.

“Gee, aren’t you a volunteer? Didn’t anyone tell you before that you will be disfigured? This kind of sequela can’t be cured. So it’s an inevitable outcome.”

Ding Ning said with surprise, but his words made Zhao Zifeng and Yan Hao change their faces dramatically.

“Zhao Zifeng, Yan Hao, now I’m disfigured. Are you satisfied with that? Why didn’t you tell me that the powder will disfigure me?”

With desperation on her face and rage in her eyes, Yue Tingting stared fixedly at Zhao Zifeng and Yan Hao and cursed loudly.

There was an uproar at the scene. Everyone thought that Yue Tingting was sick before coming to volunteer. Unexpectedly there was more to the story.

At this moment, Yue Tingting clenched her teeth in anger and shouted the names of Zhao Zifeng and Yan Hao, which made the reporters naturally think that the girl was obviously deceived by these two men.

In particular, one of them was Yan Hao, a contestant of the competition. So the meaning behind it was even more thought-provoking.

With ceaseless flashing lights, the reporters raised their cameras and microphones one after another. “Mr. Zhao, Dr. Yan, may I ask if what this lady said is true?”

“You made this lady a volunteer without telling her the serious side effects of the drug. Do you have any explanation for it?”

“According to this lady’s statement, can I consider it fraudulence?”

“Dr. Yan, as the famous Little King of Needles, I would like to ask between a medical competition and the health of a patient, which one is more important? Please answer.”

“Miss, I would like to ask whether you will trace their legal responsibility.”

...

With a buzz, the scene was like boiling water. The reporters got extremely excited and interviewed them one after another. Yan Hao and Zhao Zifeng were blindsided and their faces darkened.

“Yue Tingting, what are you talking about?”

Zhao Zifeng yelled harshly at Yue Tingting in a fluster, while secretly blaming Yan Xun for not explaining the serious sequela of this powder in advance and putting them at a disadvantage.

Yue Tingting felt a chill in her heart. She knew how cruel Zhao Zifeng was. Although he wouldn’t go so far as to kill her, she would probably be unable to stay in the circle anymore after this.

She just blurted it out due to her extreme excitement caused by her being disfigured. Now after calming down, she immediately realized that if she really enraged Zhao Zifeng, she would end up with a miserable life.

However, no woman didn’t care about her appearance. At the thought that she had got numerous pockmarks on her face from now on, Yue Tingting was overcome by the feeling of sorrow, covered her face and wept. In this way, she avoided being questioned by the reporters and left a chance for Zhao Zifeng and Yan Hao to take a breath.

Xiao Yan watched Yue Tingting choke with silent fury. She had hated her a lot, so she should take pleasure in her misfortune at this moment. However, she grieved for her misfortune instead of feeling delighted.

A woman, who had spent all her time pleasing Zhao Zifeng, had been disfigured. Yue Tingting was destined to be out of his favor in the future. But in this way, Xiao Yan finally saw through Zhao Zifeng’s heartlessness.

Thinking that she had fallen in love with this kind of scum and spent so many years in this unrequited love, Xiao Yan couldn’t help feeling sad for herself and thought that she must be blind.

“Stop questioning her. Ladies and gentlemen, it’s not what you think. Miss Yue Tingting volunteered for the competition, and I’ve told her the consequences. She talked nonsense because she couldn’t bear to see her face ruined for the moment.”

Seeing that Yue Tingting had stopped talking, Zhao Zifeng immediately began to shift the topic. “In the first round of the competition, because Little Miracle-working Doctor cured the patient immediately and left Little King of Needles no chance to take his shot, it should be considered a tie. Now let’s begin the second round.”

“Zhao Zifeng, shame on you! Great Doctor Ding cured Yue Tingting, while Yan Hao stood there like a fool without even making a shot. What makes you consider it a tie?”

No one knew when Wei Biaobiao had squeezed himself into the crowd, and he cursed with a sneer, “I’ve never seen anyone more shameless than you.”

“Wei Biaobiao, do you mess with me on purpose? I tell you, others are afraid of you, except for me, Zhao Zifeng.”

Zhao Zifeng got furious. He knew that he was shameless, but Ding Ning’s medical skills exceeded his expectations, so he could only trick others in this contemptible and brazen way. Unexpectedly, his trick was directly revealed by Wei Biaobiao, so he burst into anger and threatened Wei Biaobiao harshly.

“Zhao Zifeng, are you threatening me? There are so many people around. You harbor evil intentions and are biased towards Yan Hao. You are unqualified to be the referee for this competition!”

Wei Biaobiao squinted fiercely and stared at Zhao Zifeng, with terrifying sparkle exuded from his eyes. Moreover, he had a point, so he immediately instigated the emotions of everyone on the scene.

“Why should it be considered a tie? There are plenty of shady deals behind this kind of competition indeed.”

“What a fucking competition! Little King of Needles didn’t even make a shot, while Little Miracle-working Doctor actually cured the young girl. Obviously you are being biased!”

“You can’t even make a fair judgment. You are unqualified to be a referee! Do you know anything about medical skills? Substitution, substitution.”

“I seem to have seen Mr. Liu here. I suggest Mr. Liu should be the referee.”

“Right, I also saw him just now, and Mr. Meng is also there. They are of noble character and high prestige, and will certainly be impartial.”

“I saw Executive Jiang from Paradise Hospital has also come. Executive Jiang is fair and can also be a referee.”

...

Everyone talked at once and recommended referees one after another. Zhao Zifeng’s face darkened completely, but he could not object.

Thus, under the enthusiastic recommendation of everyone, soon five old doctors of noble character and high prestige were elected as referees.

Two of them were western physicians, but they also had a profound knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine. Five veteran doctors were very honored to accept the position of referee for the competition between two rookies in the medical profession.

Yan Xun was also qualified to serve as a referee, because his grandson Yan Hao was one of the contestants, he did not become a referee out of the principle of fairness.

Executive Jiang Zunyi, the most prestigious among the five doctors, was the elder brother of Vice-minister Jiang. He had long been curious about Ding Ning, so he came here tonight with the intention of having a look at this Little Miracle-working Doctor praised profusely by his younger brother.

Sitting on the temporarily built podium, Jiang Zunyi said after a cough, “Ladies and gentlemen, we have seen the whole process of the first round of the competition between two excellent doctors. I think it inappropriate to call it a tie. Do you have any suggestions?”

Everyone was whispering to one another in embarrassment. This competition was not formal indeed. There was only one patient, and whoever cured her first would be considered a winner. It was indeed unfair to the other contestant. However, if it was considered a tie, it would be a bit unfair for the one making the first shot.

Ding Ning suddenly stepped forward and said loudly, “Let’s call it a tie. I believe that since Dr. Yan is known as Little King of Needles, he can certainly cure the lady. In particular, the powder is compounded by King of Yan Needles, so Yan Hao has no reason to fail.

A tossed stone raised a thousand ripples. Everyone burst into an uproar, held up their thumb for Ding Ning’s broad mind, and then looked at Yan Hao with slightly contemptuous eyes and even looked at King of Yan Needles in a bit displeasure. After all, gastrodia elata powder was compounded by King of Yan Needles, but its side effects had disfigured Yue Tingting, which made them feel injustice done to Yue Tingting. It was easier for a pretty lady to win sympathy anyway.

Besides, the grandson could definitely cure the disease caused by the powder compounded by the grandpa. No one would believe that there was no shady deal behind it. Compared with Yan Hao, Ding Ning seemed to be mighty at once.

Yan Xun’s face became extremely gloomy, but he couldn’t refute it. It was true that the bottle of gastrodia elata powder was compounded by him.

If he dared to deny it, Ding Ning would dare to suggest that they should compound gastrodia elata powder on the spot for the next round. When the time came, Yan Hao would certainly be unable to do it.

Although he knew that Ding Ning had an execrable motive and tried to cause him trouble and thus to crack down on his prestige, he could only force himself to swallow his rage.

Yan Hui squinted and maintained his composure, but stared fixedly at Ding Ning with a touch of dissatisfaction across his eyes. Yangui Hall was the industry of Holy Medical Family, and Yan Xun’s reputation had an influence on the income of Holy Medical Family. Ding Ning could trample on Yan Hao, and he didn’t care about it even if Yan Hao was kicked into the abyss. However, he couldn’t bear to see Ding Ning corrupt Yan Xun’s reputation and affect the business of Yangui Hall. It displeased him.

However, as a proud disciple of Holy Medical Family, he disdained to deal with a small doctor in the secular world. So he simply refreshed his spirit by closing his eyes. If Ding Ning dared to go too far, he didn’t mind oppressing him and teaching him a lesson.

There were splendid ripples in Junior Sister Qingyun’s eyes. She just joined the Holy Medical Family and hadn’t become an arrogant disciple who stood high above the masses and considered common people mole crickets and ants. On the contrary, she found Ding Ning very pleasing to the eye and much more straightforward than Zhao Zifeng and Yan Hao, who liked to play intrigues, in words and deeds.

“Huh, what do you mean by calling it a tie? If I treat her first, you will have no chance at all!”

Yan Hao was young and aggressive. Although Ding Ning cured Yue Tingting to his surprise, he didn’t believe that Ding Ning was better than him in medical skills.

Ding Ning glanced at him calmly and said, “I asked you to do it first, but you refused. Now you’re blaming me for this?”

“You...” Yan Hao was exasperated at once. It sounded reasonable, but why did it make him feel so uncomfortable?

“Humph, he doesn’t deserve the reputation as Little King of Needles. He was unwilling to make a shot, but now argued for himself.”

“The grandson said he could cure the disease caused by the powder compounded by the grandpa. It really is... haha!”

“Compared with Little Miracle-working Doctor who has such a broad mind and demeanour, Little King of Needles is not even close to him.”

“Alas, I thought Little King of Needles was the pride of our Yan Jing. Unexpectedly he turns out to be so lousy. Apart from his medical skills, he just can’t be compared with Little Miracle-working Doctor in moral quality and medical ethics.”

“Humph, I think he is just afraid that he can’t compare with Little Miracle-working Doctor, so he has the cheek to call the first round a tie.”

“That’s definitely true. If he is really confident, it’s no big deal to admit that he lost this round.”

“If he had this demeanour, I will think a bit highly of him. What a pity, alas!”

“He really embarrassed our Yan Jing people. He has always enjoyed the reputation as Little King of Needles and made a show of being decent and proper. Unexpectedly, he got angry when he lost.”
