Chapter 191: Lu Xiao Awakens

She's about to die!

Sikong Tu saw Lu Xiao's pained expression, instantly leapt with joy, and shouted loudly while pointing at Jiang Feng's nose.

Group Leader Lei! Look! I told you this kid is a quack! He can't treat illness at all, only harms people! Group Leader Lu still had a breath left, but after his rough handling, she choked to death!

Sikong Tu was beyond delighted inside; he had never been confident he could save Lu Xiao, but now everything was Jiang Feng's doing, and it had nothing to do with him.

This matter has nothing to do with Old brother! You insisted on bringing him in; I said long ago his unorthodox methods just don't work. Now, with Group Leader Lu gone, you handle it yourself!

Lei Zhen's brows furrowed tightly as he watched Lu Xiao's suffering, and a hint of doubt rose in his heart.

Could it be that Jiang Feng really can't?

Then wasn't the humiliation I just endured in vain?

He turned his head toward Jiang Feng, his gaze full of accusation.

Jiang Feng gave Sikong Tu a faint glance, his tone dripping with sarcasm.

You fool, I'm currently helping her detoxify! The residual aberrant true Qi and clotted blood inside her are mixed; unless forced out, there's no way to treat her.

He pointed at the black blood threads seeping from Lu Xiao's mouth corner.

Look at this expelled Toxic Blood, and you'll see whether I'm harming anyone. If even the patient can't tell whether it's detox or death, I truly don't know who the quack is.

You're talking nonsense! This is sophistry!

Sikong Tu fumed, jumping up and berating Jiang Feng.

Detox isn't supposed to be this painful! Clearly your medical skill is lacking, you ruined the patient! You're a fraud, unfit to practice medicine!

He now only wants to shift all responsibility onto Jiang Feng, to preserve his Grandmaster Physician reputation.

But as soon as his words fell, a faint sound suddenly came from the operating table.

Hmm…

Lu Xiao's eyelids twitched lightly, and then she slowly opened her eyes!

Open… opened! Group Leader Lu's eyes are open!

Dean Li was the first to react, shouting excitedly, his face full of ecstasy.

Shao Jinpeng also widened his eyes, thinking he was seeing things.

How… how is this possible? Just now there was bleeding from the Seven Orifices, she was about to die, how did she suddenly awaken?

Sikong Tu froze in place, his smugness and anger instantly solidified, replaced by thick disbelief.

He opened his mouth, unable to speak for a long while, staring at Lu Xiao's opened eyes, his heart full of shock.

How could this be? How could this be?

Lu Xiao blinked, and when she saw Jiang Feng before her, a hint of surprise appeared on her face.

Doctor Jiang? I… how did I end up here?

Her memory still lingered at the moment the masked man gravely injured her; she had no idea what happened afterward.

Jiang Feng looked at her, his tone carrying a hint of teasing.

You're lucky; someone knelt and begged me, so I stepped in to save you.

As he spoke, he cast a pointed glance at Lei Zhen beside him.

Lei Zhen's face instantly flushed to a pork‑liver hue, the humiliation he'd just suppressed surged again, his eyes blood‑red as he stared at Jiang Feng.

At this moment his fists clenched, cracking, as if he could tear Jiang Feng apart on the spot.

This bastard!

He even dares to mention the kneeling!

Lu Xiao paused, followed Jiang Feng's gaze toward Lei Zhen, her mind full of doubt, yet she asked nothing further.

She was now completely weak, even speaking was a struggle.

Jiang Feng stopped provoking Lei Zhen and gave Lu Xiao a brief instruction.

You just woke up, your body is still very weak; don't speak much, rest well. I've already expelled the Toxic Blood and residual true Qi from your body; later, just drink a few more doses of the decoction I prescribed, and you'll recover gradually.

Finishing his words, he turned and headed for the operating room door, not wanting to tangle further with Lei Zhen and Sikong Tu.

Wait! Stop right there!

Sikong Tu suddenly caught on, hurried forward, and blocked Jiang Feng's path.

Exactly how did you do it? Lu Xiao was on the brink of death, how could you make her instantly conscious? And what elixir did you just give her? Speak!

He's practiced medicine for over seventy years and has never seen such miraculous technique.

Jiang Feng was too lazy to bother, sidestepping to go around him.

Don't think you can leave!

Sikong Tu held him firmly, his tone threatening.

If you don't speak, I'll go everywhere saying you used unorthodox, crooked methods to harm people! I'll make you unable to survive in the medical world!

Jiang Feng halted, turned his head, and gave him a cold glance.

You can try.

After speaking, he ignored Sikong Tu, pushed straight past him, and left the operating room.

Sikong Tu was shoved, stumbled, and nearly fell.

He watched Jiang Feng's departing back, so angry his whole body trembled, only able to rage impotently at the empty air.

Arrogance! Too arrogant! You wait for Old brother! I will never let you go!

Inside the operating room, Shao Jinpeng briefly introduced Lei Zhen to Lu Xiao, and when he learned that Lei had knelt for him with Jiang Feng, Lu Xiao was also very surprised.

Lei Zhen wore a formulaic smile, but inside he harbored some resentment toward Shao Jinpeng's chatter.

That guy's loose mouth, he brings up exactly what's not to be mentioned!

Group Leader Lu, rest well, recover peacefully; I'll keep an eye on the Dragon Group's matters.

Lu Xiao, weakly, nodded.

"Thanks for your effort, Group Leader Lei."

"It should be."

Lei Zhen waved his hand.

"One of the three Grandmasters who attacked you was killed by the Dragon Guard, and the other two have already been captured; they are now locked in the Dragon Group Garrison, awaiting interrogation."

"What? They were captured?"

Lu Xiao's eyes lit up, struggling to sit up.

"Great! I want to take part in the interrogation! I must find out who the mastermind behind them is!"

She was severely injured by the masked man, a surge of anger brewing inside her, and she only wants to quickly uncover the mastermind behind it.

"No!"

Lei Zhen immediately refused.

"Your body is still very weak; you need to rest properly. Leave the interrogation to me."

Lu Xiao still wanted to say something, and Director Li stepped forward to advise.

"Group Leader Lu, Group Leader Lei is right; your body cannot be agitated now, you should prioritize rest; the interrogation is not urgent at this moment."

Lu Xiao looked at the two of them persisting like that, realized that saying more was useless, and could only helplessly nod.

"Alright then, I'll trouble Group Leader Lei; if there are any important clues, be sure to tell me at once."

"Don't worry."

Lei Zhen nodded, said no more, and gave a look to Shao Jinpeng.

Shao Jinpeng hurried to follow, and the two briskly left the operating room, hurrying toward the Dragon Group Garrison.

The vehicle sped along, and the carriage remained dead silent.

Before long, the vehicle arrived at the Dragon Group's new garrison.

It was a solitary building hidden in the suburbs, surrounded by strict guard posts and filled with hidden lookouts.

Lei Zhen led Shao Jinpeng into the building and headed straight for the underground Interrogation Room.

"Group Leader Lei, do you need me to go in with you?"

Shao Jinpeng followed behind, asking cautiously.

"No need."

Lei Zhen didn't even turn his head, his tone icy.

"Wait outside; I can go in alone."

Shao Jinpeng dared not say more, only halted his steps and stood at the door of the Interrogation Room.

Lei Zhen entered the room, saw the two still looking as if begging for death, yet he showed a faint cold smile.

"Jiangnan Wang asked me to convey his greetings to you both."
