My Ares Son-in-Law

However, Xiao Chen just shook his head slightly. There was no fear in his eyes. Instead, there was a sense of indifference and detachment.

He knew very well that the old man on the bed had no direct blood or emotional connection with him, and the reason he stayed here was entirely out of his conscience as a doctor and his respect for life.

Now, since Jiang Qingjiang and Jiang Yulan were unwilling to believe him, there was no need for him to waste time and energy here. So, he slowly turned around and prepared to leave this place full of prejudice and misunderstanding.

"Wait!" At this moment, a clear and firm voice suddenly sounded, like a cool breeze in summer, instantly blowing away the tense atmosphere in the tent.

Jiang Yulan walked out of the crowd, her eyes flashing with determination and trust, without the slightest hesitation or retreat. She walked quickly to Xiao Chen and opened her arms, as if she wanted to use her body to build a solid defense line for him.

"If anyone dares to touch my benefactor, I, Jiang Yulan, will be the first to disapprove!" Her voice was not loud, but it was full of power and determination. She stared at the two warriors who were about to take action, her eyes revealing unquestionable majesty.

Then, she turned her head and looked at Xiao Chen with gentle but firm eyes, and continued: "My benefactor is a true hermit master. Although he is young, his medical skills are beyond the reach of ordinary people. He said that Xiao Xianren was plotting something ill, so there must be a basis for his claim. I believe in him more firmly than anyone else."

"Yulan..." Jiang Qingtao looked at his daughter Jiang Yulan's firm and persistent appearance, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.

He smiled bitterly to himself. As the pillar of the family and a grown man who had experienced many ups and downs, he seemed so hesitant in the face of the important decision concerning his father's life. He was not even as decisive and resolute as a young girl.

This contrast made him feel both ashamed and relieved. He was ashamed of his own indecision and relieved for his daughter's courage and responsibility.

He knew that the situation before him was very serious. If he made the wrong choice, the consequences would be disastrous. Offending Xiao Xianren might bring a series of troubles and consequences, but those could be made up for through hard work and time.

However, if we miss the best opportunity to save our father because of momentary concerns, then the regret and pain will never be recovered, and that is the real sadness and despair.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qingtao's eyes gradually became firm and resolute. He turned around, faced Xiao Chen, and bowed deeply, this action contained too much emotion and respect.

"Mr. Xiao, thank you for your help." His voice was low and sincere, and every word seemed to come from the bottom of his heart. "I was in a trance just now, confused by the situation in front of me, and failed to wake up in time. Now, I implore you to tell us the truth you have seen without reservation. Please rest assured that I am here and will never let anyone drive you away easily."

His words were not only an invitation and trust to Xiao Chen, but also a promise and redemption to himself. He knew that only by facing the reality bravely could he gain a glimmer of hope for his father's life.

Xiao Chen's eyes gently moved between Jiang Qingtao and Jiang Yulan. Their trust was like warm sunshine, penetrating the haze in his heart. He sighed softly. This sudden trust made him feel surprised and grateful. Originally, he might really choose to stay out of it and let the situation develop, but at this moment, their firm belief seemed to have become an invisible force, pushing him to stand up and take on this responsibility.

"If for nothing else," Xiao Chen muttered in his heart, his tone revealing a hint of firmness, "just for this precious trust, I can't just stand by and watch." His eyes became deep and serious, as if at this moment, he had made the decision to uncover the truth and save the dying old man.

Then, Xiao Chen turned his gaze to Xiao Xianren, his eyes were both scrutinizing and challenging. "The acupuncture technique you used is called 'Life-Locking Needle', am I right?" His voice was not loud, but every word was clear, and every word was like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of everyone present.

Facing Xiao Chen's questioning, Xiao Xianren's face changed slightly and he remained silent for a long time. He struggled internally, unwilling to admit that his tricks had been discovered, but Xiao Chen's words were conclusive and he could not refute them. In the end, he could only choose to remain silent and acquiesce to Xiao Chen's accusation.

"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it," Xiao Chen was not discouraged by Xiao Xianren's silence. He turned to look at Doctor Wang beside him, and his tone became a little gentler.

"Doctor Wang, if I'm not mistaken, you should be a member of the Medical Alliance, right? The official website of the Medical Alliance has detailed records about the 'Life-Locking Needle'. Although this acupuncture method is relatively unconventional and most people don't go out of their way to learn about it, I think with Doctor Wang's professionalism, he should be familiar with it. Could you please check it online now to verify what I said?"

Xiao Chen's words were full of trust and expectation for Dr. Wang. He believed that in the face of hard evidence, all lies would be exposed. At the same time, he also hoped that through this action, everyone present could see the truth and make the right choice.

Hearing this, Dr. Wang nodded in agreement and quickly took out his phone from his pocket. His fingertips jumped on the screen, as if he was having a silent contest. His brows were sometimes furrowed, sometimes relaxed, obviously comparing the information on the phone screen with the knowledge in his memory.

After some careful verification, he suddenly looked up, his eyes flashing with surprise, and exclaimed: "As expected, the life-locking needle is originally an extremely advanced acupuncture method, which is designed to lock the body's vitality during surgery, ensuring that it will not be quickly lost due to blood loss or other reasons during the operation, thereby greatly improving the success rate of the operation."

At this point, Dr. Wang's tone paused slightly, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.

“However, like a double-edged sword, if this kind of acupuncture falls into the hands of someone with bad intentions, it can become a weapon that can hurt people.

They may use the characteristics of the life-locking needle to deliberately lock the patient's vitality, causing the patient to slowly exhaust his vitality in extreme exhaustion and eventually die of exhaustion. This is undoubtedly a fatal blow to those patients who still have a glimmer of hope and can rely on treatment to prolong their lives. "

As Dr. Wang finished his words, the atmosphere in the tent became extremely solemn.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Xiao Xianren. There was shock and confusion in their eyes, and they were deeply worried about the dark side of human nature. They could not imagine that a doctor who was supposed to save lives would use such superb medical skills to do evil. This was simply the greatest blasphemy against life. (End of this chapter)
