Chapter 10 Creating a Miracle

In the corridor.

Tang Ling took a glance at the Omega watch that Mike gave her, and then looked at Jiang Hao standing at the door of the ward. "Miss Jiang, there are five minutes left," she said in a very friendly voice.

"I know. I don't need you to remind me," Jiang Hao replied in a cold tone.

Tang Ling shrugged and went on, "Miss Jiang, I know you'll be unhappy to hear the truth, but I have to tell you. That guy is my boyfriend's classmate, he is not a doctor. Up to now, he has not found the hospital that accepts him to go to practice. He has never treated any patient, nor cured anyone..."

Jiang Hao interrupted Tang Ling, "Stop it. It doesn't interest me at all."

Tang Ling went on, "Yesterday he badly hurt chief Ma of the personnel department of the hospital because chief Ma rejected him on the grounds of his mental problem. He is a very dangerous madman, and I'm really worried about your father."

There was no emotional fluctuation in Jiang Hao's heart. The one Tang Ling described was quite a different person from Ning Tao that she contacted with, and she had her own judgment. As Tang Ling told this to her, she was thinking about Ning Tao's incredible abilities.

"Did that guy hurt somebody? Then he broke the law. As police, someone covers up the criminal. That's to deliberately break the law. Do you really think you're the big cheese? If you piss me off, I'll send someone to Beidu to sue you," Zou Yulin said in a weird voice.

Zou Yumei sobbed and said, "Yilong, you are so miserable. You put up with all kinds of hardships to bring her up, but she brought a madman to treat you. If anything happens to you..."

Jiang Hao couldn't stand it anymore. "Zou Yumei, that's enough," she shouted. "Aren't you hoping Jiang Yilong dies? Don't pretend to cry, laugh as you like."

Zou Yumei stopped crying, and didn't laugh either.

Then Chen Zhengyi came up to them with a nurse. "Superintendent Jiang, it's been an hour. Your friend should come out," he said.

Jiang Hao looked at her sporting wristwatch and said, "One minute left."

"Then wait a minute," Chen Zhengyi said.

A minute later, Jiang Hao reached out and knocked on the door.

"Come in," Ning Tao's voice said from the room.

Jiang Hao opened the door and went in.

Chen Zhengyi, Tang Ling, and the others followed her into the ward.

In the hospital bed Jiang Yilong had several silver needles in his head.

Those silver needles were from the Sky Clinic. They were not actually made of silver. They were blue, with invisible patterns on the surface, looking very mysterious.

By the hospital bed, Ning Tao was holding a blue silver needle ready to put it into Jiang Yilong's face.

"Stop!" Zou Yulin yelled and pointed at Ning Tao, scowling. "What are you doing?"

Ning Tao turned to the crowd and looked at Zou Yulin. "Are you blind? Don't you see I'm curing Mr. Jiang with acupuncture?"

Tang Ling sneered, "See, I said he was a madman, and he is indeed a madman. Our hospital is the best hospital in Shan City, with the best equipment and doctors in the country. We couldn't cure Mr. Jiang, but he wants to cure Mr. Jiang with acupuncture!"

Chen Zhengyi's face darkened. "Ning Tao, although you are a friend of superintendent Jiang, this is a standard hospital! Don't fool with it!"

Jiang Hao was as cold as ever. She looked as if she would not show her feelings no matter what was going on. No one knew what she was thinking.

"Yilong, you're suffering. You're getting pricked with needles even when you're paralyzed... If anything happens to you, I will die with you... Woo..." Zou Yumei sounded sad, but there were no tears in her eyes.

Zou Yulin pointed at Ning Tao and threatened, "You're so screwed!"

As soon as he finished, Ning Tao stuck a needle into Jiang Yilong's philtrum and twirled it.

Suddenly, Jiang Yilong coughed and opened his eyes.

Ning Tao pulled out all the blue needles with his hands in a twinkling.

Jiang Yilong stared at Ning Tao, recalling what had just happened. He remembered Ning Tao and the mysterious clinic, and everything that had happened seemed like an absurd dream to him.

All eyes were affixed on Jiang Yilong.

Ning Tao leaned over in Jiang Yilong's ear and whispered, "Jiang Yilong, you only have half a month to finish terms on the prescription pact. If you don't do it, or procrastinate, I'll let you see real hell!"

Jiang Yilong seemed to hear the sound of sharpening knife again, and he nodded unconsciously.

Ning Tao stepped back and said, "Mr. Jiang, please try to get up."

Tang Ling sniffed, "Ning Tao, do you really think that you're a miracle-working doctor and a few silver needles will work wonders? You are silly, but don't take us all as fools!"

Ning Tao looked at Tang Ling and asked, "When are you smart?"

"You—" Tang Ling was speechless with anger.

Just then Jiang Yilong, lying in his hospital bed, said excitedly, "I... My hand can move!"

How was that possible?

No one believed it, but Jiang Yilong's hands were up and his fingers were moving slowly, looking flexible.

"Yilong, you... Aren't you paralyzed as a result of the stroke?" Zou Yumei asked in horror. "Why can your hand... move?"

Jiang Yilong grunted, "You desperately want me to be paralyzed, don't you?"

"Yilong, you... I..." Zou Yumei was tongue-tied.

Jiang Yilong sat up with his hands on the mattress. Then he threw back the covers, took his feet off the bed and stood up straight in front of everyone!

At this time, even Ning Tao was shocked by this miracle. Before Jiang Yilong stood up, his heart was full of worry, but it was hidden from others. Now he was relieved.

Jiang Yilong stumbled over to Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao's lips moved a little as if she wanted to call him dad, but she didn't.

In front of Jiang Hao, Jiang Yilong suddenly fell to his knees, and tears came to his eyes. "Hao, I'm sorry for what I have done to you and your mother..." he cried and slapped himself in the face. "I'm not a man! I regret it..."

Tears flooded Jiang Hao's eyes, too. She quickly reached out to help Jiang Yilong up, sobbing, "Dad, you should say that to mom."

Jiang Yilong burst into tears and replied, "I will apologize to your mom, I will, I promise..."

Zou Yumei and Zou Yulin were completely dumbfounded.

Chen Zhengyi came to his senses and strode over to Ning Tao. "Ning Tao... No, Doctor Ning, how did you do it?" His voice trembled with shock and excitement.

Ning Tao replied dryly, "Didn't you just see that? Using silver needles."

"Can you, can you bring this skill to our hospital? We will carry it forward and make it famous all over the world!" Chen Zhengyi's eyes sparkled with excitement and he was imagining him speaking on an authoritative forum.

Ning Tao immediately broke his illusion. "Why?" he blurted out.

Chen Zhengyi froze for a moment and said, "Because... I now formally represent Shan City Medical University to welcome you to our hospital to practice!"

"To practice?"

Chen Zhengyi then corrected himself, "No, no, no, on behalf of the hospital, I hereby formally employ you as the attending of our hospital!"

Ning Tao shook his head and refused. "I'm okay now. Goodbye."

Chen Zhengyi grabbed Ning Tao by the wrist as Ning Tao was about to leave. "Ning Tao, don't hurry to leave. I'll give you the treatment of chief physician as long as you are willing to work in our hospital. What do you think?"

Tang Ling was stunned by what she heard. The chief physician was at the same level as the professor! It usually took most of a medical student's life to get this kind of treatment, and Ning Tao now could get it as long as he accepted it!

However...

Ning Tao looked at Chen Zhengyi with a disgusted look on his face and said, "President Chen, it's inappropriate for a man to grab another man's hand. If you keep holding my hand, I'll call out."

Chen Zhengyi felt like punching Ning Tao, but he had to let go of his hand.

Ning Tao then headed for the door.

"Wait." Jiang Hao walked up to Ning Tao and asked, "Where are you going?"

"I'm not needed here anymore. I'm going back," Ning Tao said.

Jiang Hao was silent for a second before she added, "I'll come to you."

Ning Tao nodded and left the ward with his chest.

As soon as he left, Zou Yulin went to a corner, pulled out his cell phone and made a call...
