Chapter 1637: Traditional Chinese Medicine Methods

"Yes, it's not that I don't believe in Traditional Chinese Medicine, but I feel that the things Traditional Chinese Medicine can treat are limited," Zhou Qi nodded slightly and said. "Viruses involve microbiology, so if you use Traditional Chinese Medicine to drive out these microorganisms, it is not an easy thing."

"This is your perception, and also the perception of most people," Chen Yu nodded slightly and said. "You are not wrong, but these viewpoints are incorrect."

"There are plenty of Traditional Chinese Medicine methods; it's just that many methods have been lost to time. Fortunately, however, I know some." Chen Yu said while performing acupuncture.

As the needles were placed one by one, a hint of a flushed color appeared on the patient's face.

Immediately following that, dense beads of sweat seeped out from her pores. These sweat beads were black in color, as if certain substances inside the body were being released.

After removing the needles, Chen Yu waited quietly for five minutes.

However, once the five minutes were up, the patient's condition improved immediately; her breathing balanced out, and her complexion gradually returned to normal.

"Acupuncture can achieve such an effect?" Zhou Qi couldn't help but be shocked; she simply couldn't believe her own eyes.

She never imagined that acupuncture could actually be this powerful.

"Did you see what flowed out from her pores?" Chen Yu asked.

"I saw it. This is the virus from inside her body, forced out by you using some kind of method?" Zhou Qi asked with an incredulous look.

"You could say that. Acupuncture is not as simple as you think; it requires True Qi to reinforce it, and only then can this be achieved," Chen Yu said. "Then, supplemented with Traditional Chinese Medicine, she will definitely be better within two days."

"So Traditional Chinese Medicine really can do it; how amazing." Zhou Qi's eyes began to shine.

"I know what you are thinking, but give it up. Applying Traditional Chinese Medicine to microbiology won't work," Chen Yu shook his head slightly and said. "Because they are not the same thing; the things involved are simply too many, and the systemic mechanisms are also different."

"Ah? Then that is truly a pity." Zhou Qi was slightly stunned, then shook her head with some regret.

"Then this patient, when can she walk?" Zhou Qi turned her gaze to the patient and asked.

"In two days, but for safety's sake, it is best to observe for a few more days," Chen Yu said.

Just at this moment, the patient on the hospital bed woke up. Although she had been unconscious just now, she understood everything that had happened around her.

She struggled to sit up, her mouth constantly muttering words of gratitude as she thanked Chen Yu.

"Alright, lie down and rest. Your illness will be gone within two days, so don't worry," Chen Yu said.

"Thank you, thank you. Sir, may I ask what your name is?" the patient said gratefully. "My name is Taozi."

"My name is Chen Yu, a person from Huaxia," Chen Yu said. "Rest and recover here with peace of mind."

"You... you are actually from Huaxia?" Taozi was shocked; she found it somewhat hard to believe.

"Of course. Otherwise, what method do you think he used to cure you just now?" Zhou Qi smiled slightly and said with quite a bit of pride, "He used Traditional Chinese Medicine."

"No matter what, I am very grateful to you. Thank you for being able to put aside your prejudices and do so much for us." Taozi bowed slightly.

After giving a few instructions in the ward, Chen Yu and Zhou Qi left the place.

"Patients are being sent here one after another," Zhou Qi said. "There are a few mild cases."

"For mild cases, just using medicine will do." Chen Yu wrote down a prescription and handed it to Zhou Qi. "Go to the Chinatown side. It is temporarily closed there now, so you might not be able to get in. Go there and report my name, say that I sent you, and then get the medicine filled."

"Only use Traditional Chinese Medicine? Is acupuncture not needed?" Zhou Qi asked.

"Correct. For mild cases, just using this is enough; there is no need for me to go through the trouble of performing acupuncture," Chen Yu said. "But the effect will be slightly slower, though it is all within a controllable range."

"Since you have this kind of medicine, why not announce it directly?" Zhou Qi was puzzled.

"Do you think their local government would believe it?" Chen Yu laughed. "And, don't say I'm cynical, but some people really cannot be indulged. If you truly save them, they won't be grateful to you; they will instead try their hardest to smear you."

"So, only after they have suffered enough will they know how hard-won their current days are?" Zhou Qi asked.

"Exactly, that's it," Chen Yu nodded slightly. "So, do you understand why I am doing this?"

"I understand," Zhou Qi nodded.

"And if I solve the matter so quickly, where would that leave the face of their domestic biochemical experts? Furthermore, not only will they not help, they will instead come over to cause trouble," Chen Yu said.

"No way, they are like this now, and they would still cause trouble?" Zhou Qi didn't believe it.

"Mr. Chen, it's bad. The condition of several patients in the hospital has suddenly worsened." Just at this moment, a call came in from Chuan Naizi.

"Worsened? The critical kind?" Chen Yu asked.

"That's right, critical. Mr. Chen, what exactly is going on?" Chuan Naizi said urgently.

"Wait until I arrive before we talk," Chen Yu said, then hung up the phone.

"What's going on? Can the illness relapse?" Zhou Qi was shocked.

"How do you know it isn't man-made?" Chen Yu grinned and said. "Get ready; we are about to be cyber-bullied."

"Cyber-bullied? Why?" Zhou Qi was puzzled.

"They will think that our Traditional Chinese Medicine cannot treat illnesses or save people, and they will think we are incompetent. They will take this opportunity to smear us wantonly. Because of this, all staff members are to withdraw to Chinatown before 8:00 PM tonight; that place is safe," Chen Yu said.

"Mr. Chen, what exactly is going on?" Zhou Qi saw Chen Yu's serious tone and couldn't help but feel a bit panicked. "Do you think something is going to happen?"

"The worsening of the patients' condition must have been done by their own people. If I'm not mistaken, this blame will definitely be pinned on us," Chen Yu said. "Those three patients had already improved, but if they injected the virus strain into their bodies in order to frame me, then these few people are basically beyond saving."

"So at that time, this matter will be infinitely magnified, and incidents of Traditional Chinese Medicine killing people will also occur," Chen Yu said. "We will all be cyber-bullied. For safety's sake, you take everyone supporting Fusang and withdraw to Chinatown."

"How could it be like this? Their country is already in such a difficult state now; why would they still do this? Wouldn't it be better to solve the virus issue sooner?"

"Heh, it's useless to talk to them about these things. The human heart is the most difficult thing in this world to fathom. Moreover, these guys are inherently selfish and self-interested people," Chen Yu said with a cold sneer.

"I understand," Zhou Qi nodded. "I will make preparations to withdraw."
