109 Won’t Take It
At this moment, anyone who said anything else would be resented by the Tang family’s master. Shen Qiang’s expression was a little ugly, but Jian Xing’er suddenly chuckled, attracting everyone’s attention. Only then did everyone remember that Jian Xing’er had stopped Doctor Qiao before he inserted the needle, but no one paid attention to her at that time. “If you hadn’t inserted the last needle, Young Master Tang wouldn’t have died.” Jian Xing’er looked at Doctor Qiao indifferently. “Shut up!” Doctor Qiao pointed at her nose and scolded, “I’ve been a doctor for decades. I don’t need a liar like you to teach me how to do things!”
“Liar? You’re the liar,” Jian Xing’er said calmly. “Who do you think you are? How dare you call me a liar? If you continue to spout nonsense here, I’ll kill you now!” Doctor Qiao was already feeling guilty, so he pretended to be angry to stop Jian Xing’er from continuing. He had been a doctor for decades, and now that Young Master Tang had died in his hands, his reputation was already ruined. “Continue!” The Tang family’s master looked at Jian Xing’er. “I have to know who was the one who caused my son to die here!” Doctor Qiao didn’t dare to say anything else.
Jian Xing’er sneered. “Although the acupuncture technique used by Doctor Qiao is somewhat similar to the Earth Spirit Needle, it’s not the Earth Spirit Needle. None of you have seen the real Earth Spirit Needle with your own eyes, so this old liar played you guys for fools.” “How can you prove that what you said is true?” The Tang family’s master questioned. “Because it’s full of loopholes!” Jian Xing’er said, “The most important element of the Earth Spirit Needle technique is that you have to use golden needles when performing acupuncture. This is because only golden needles can release the power of the Earth Spirit Needle and achieve the best effect of treating illnesses and saving people, but Doctor Qiao used silver needles!” Jian Xing’er glanced at Doctor Qiao coldly. “You don’t even know the most basic knowledge, yet you dared to swindle other people. You’re really bold.” Doctor Qiao was stunned and didn’t respond for a long time.
When the Deputy Director heard this, he immediately instructed his subordinates to find the relevant ancient books. In the three to four hundred pages of the ancient book, there were legends about the Earth Spirit Needle technique. After more than ten minutes, he said loudly, “Li Si didn’t lie!” The records here are exactly the same as what Li Si said. One has to use golden needles to use the Earth Spirit Needle. Silver needles won’t do!” When the Tang family’s master snatched the ancient book and took a closer look, he realized that what the Deputy Director said was true. This time, Doctor Qiao was afraid. Everyone had seen through his lie, but he still wanted to take a gamble. “What is written in the ancient book might not be true! The Earth Spirit Needle technique has been lost for a long time, so have any of you seen the Earth Spirit Needle technique with your own eyes?” Doctor Qiao pretended to be calm as he said, “Perhaps the person who wrote this book just heard it from somewhere!”
Everyone’s expressions began to become conflicted. “Indeed, what Doctor Qiao said makes sense.” The Deputy Director nodded, but Doctor Qiao snorted coldly. “Unless you can invite an expert who really knows the Earth Spirit Needle technique, no one has the right to call me a liar!” As soon as he finished speaking, the Tang family’s master’s expression darkened. “Mr. Tang, I understand that you care about your son, but you can’t malign a good person! I’ve done my best to treat your young master. I don’t ask you to be grateful, but I just hope that you won’t slander my reputation! If you can really find evidence to prove that I’m a liar, I’ll let you punish me!” Doctor Qiao acted very hurt as he spoke.
“Do I have to be grateful to you for killing my son? Even if you’re not lying, you’re still a quack. I’ll kill you today to avenge my son!” The Tang family’s master said coldly, “The reason you’re still standing here and quibbling is that I wanted to find out the truth behind my son’s death.” The Tang family’s master didn’t fall for Doctor Qiao’s lie. If he wanted to kill someone to avenge his son, no one present dared to stop him!
“Wait! What is Li Si doing?!” Someone said in surprise. When everyone heard this, they immediately looked at Jian Xing’er. Jian Xing’er strode to Young Master Tang’s corpse and checked his pulse with her hand. Then, she decisively pulled out all the silver needles on his body. When the Tang family’s master saw his son’s corpse being fiddled with, he was furious. “Stay away from my son! If you dare to touch him again, I’ll kill you immediately!” The Tang family’s master walked forward and slapped Jian Xing’er’s hand away.
