Everyone present was stunned when they saw this, especially the woman in the ward. She only cared about crying and did not know what to do.
Zhao Gang ran forward in two steps and saw the instruments frantically beeping. The old man’s body trembled like a sieve and Zhao Gang’s eyes immediately filled with anxiety.
“Get the attending doctor here immediately!”
Director Liu immediately shouted when he saw this situation.
After all, judging from the current situation, the old man really couldn’t hold on anymore. His situation was very different from Wang Meng’s.
Half a year was enough to wear down anyone’s life force. It would be fine if nothing unexpected happened, but now, any accident would definitely endanger his life.
If he could survive this, he might be able to last for another two days. If he couldn’t, he probably wouldn’t even make it through tonight.
In an instant, Director Liu had already thought of all the bad endings.
For example, if the old man really could not be saved, or if he could barely hold on only to wait for the next accident.
Either way, the hospital would need to bear a lot of responsibility.
“Alright, all of you can leave.”
Luo Chen, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke.
His words drew everyone’s attention to him.
The speed at which the old man’s health deteriorated could be calculated in seconds. No matter how anxious Zhao Gang and his wife were, there was nothing they could do.
Director Liu stared at him for five seconds. In the end, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet.
“Then let’s go out first. I believe Mr. Luo won’t disappoint us.”
With that, Director Liu turned around and helped the woman, who had almost fainted from crying, out of the room.
Although Zhao Gang did not believe that a young man like Luo Chen had superb medical skills, at this point, there seemed to be no better way.
There was only one choice, and that was to trust him.
“By the way, please close the curtain before you go out. I don’t like people watching my treatments.”
Luo Chen came to the bedside and said without looking back.
Zhao Gang looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated. However, seeing Luo Chen’s firm attitude, he could not refuse.
In fact, he was already thinking that if Luo Chen was to fail, he would definitely be irreconcilable with the Luo Corporation!
“Sha.”
The curtain was drawn.
The light in the room was a little dim, and the old man let out a faint snore.
Naturally, it wasn’t because he was asleep, but because his breathing was really not smooth, so he made such a sound.
But Luo Chen was not in a hurry to save him. Instead, he squatted down and observed carefully.
Faint bruises had already appeared on the old man’s body. They were small and dense, looking exceptionally horrifying.
His body was trembling uncontrollably, and his eyes were tightly shut. He didn’t look like he was in a normal coma, but like he was trying his best to close his eyes.
“Old Master, can you hear me?”
Luo Chen whispered in the old man’s ear.
Unfortunately, his words did not seem to have any effect, and the old man’s condition did not change.
Initially, Luo Chen thought that the Old Master might be conscious, but his body was out of his control. However, from the looks of it, that should not be the case.
“Sigh…”
Sighing helplessly, Luo Chen gently placed a finger on the old man’s wrist.
His pulse was beating very fiercely and forcefully, as if his blood vessels were about to jump out from under his skin.
This was not right.
With the old man’s physical condition, it wouldn’t be long before the fragile blood vessel walls burst open. At that time, even a god wouldn’t be able to save him.
At this point, Luo Chen could confirm that the old man had been poisoned. The incubation period of the poison was very long, so there had been no reaction for the past six months except only falling unconscious.
However, seeing that the old man had been lying in bed for more than half a year and his muscles had not atrophied, and even his skin was soft and clastic, it was obvious that someone was taking good care of him.
It was also true that Zhao Gang and his wife were nervous.
However, it had been half a year since the incident. There was probably no way to find any clues and determine what poison the old man had been afflicted with through external information.
“This is a big problem.”
Luo Chen muttered helplessly.
If he had known that it would be so troublesome, he would not have agreed to help save this old man on impulse.
Unfortunately, there was no turning back now.
The feeling of having hope and then completely despairing was not good.
After some thought, Luo Chen picked up a silver needle and lifted the blanket that covered the old man’s chin.
He unbuttoned his hospital gown, revealing his shriveled chest.
This made it even more intuitive. The device was already trying its best to warn, which meant that the old man’s physical condition was falling like a cliff, but the frequency of his heart beating was clearly visible outside his body.
The rapid breathing and the bruises that appeared on his body for no reason meant that if he was not treated soon, the old man would soon exhaust his last breath.
“What exactly is the problem?”
Luo Chen looked at the old man’s chest and did not know where to start.
According to the current situation, the poison had attacked the heart and the incubation period was long. It was very likely a medicine similar to stimulating one’s potential.
To be precise, this medicine was not poison, but the old man was already so old. He should also have some underlying illnesses. If something stimulated his potential, it would be equivalent to giving a bonfire that was about to run out of fuel, more fire.
It would definitely not burn even more vigorously. Instead, it would completely extinguish after the last intense burning.
One could imagine how vicious the person behind this was.
After hesitating for a moment, Luo Chen carefully placed the first needle on the old man’s throat.
The moment the needle pierced through the skin, a drop of blood seemed to be unable to wait any longer and crawled out through the tiny needle hole with difficulty.
Luo Chen frowned slightly and tried his best to maintain the stability of his wrist so that the silver needle would not tremble.
Logically speaking, his acupuncture was extremely light. Coupled with the fact that this set of silver needles was specially custom-made, even if they pierced his body densely, there would not be a drop of blood.
However, at this moment, blood could not stop flowing out. Not long after, it accumulated to the size of a fingernail.
One had to know that this needle mark could not be any smaller!
One could imagine how much pressure each of the old man’s blood vessels was under.
If this continued, his blood vessels would explode and he would probably die in the blink of an eye!
After the initial panic, Luo Chen quickly realized the problem.
The medicinal properties catalyzed the increase in the old man’s potential, but his foundation was weak to begin with, so it could only have the opposite effect.
The two sides collided, causing the old man to faint for so long.
At this moment, the medicinal properties had accumulated in his body to a certain extent, causing his body to be unable to bear the burden..
