Chapter 54: Vicious Heart

"What?" Chen Yu's expression changed drastically: "Don't panic, I'll be there immediately."

Chen Yu hung up the phone, started the car, and drove toward home.

He ran red lights all the way and returned home at the fastest possible speed.

"Brother-in-law, you finally made it. I've already called 120. My sister has lost so much blood, wuwu, what do I do?" Inside the bedroom, Ye Qian was scared to tears; she had never experienced anything like this before.

Chen Yu pushed the door open and rushed in. Several Yisheng were currently inserting needles and injecting Ye Xinyu. Ye Xinyu's expression was pained, her face sallow, and the bedsheet to the side was covered in blood.

"Husband, save... me, save our child." Ye Xinyu gripped Chen Yu's hand tightly; she was in so much pain she was nearly fainting.

"Xinyu, don't worry, the child will be fine." Chen Yu reached out and placed his hand on her wrist.

"Are you the patient's family?" a female Yisheng barked: "Family members wait outside, don't come in."

"Dr. Zhao, I'm afraid it can't be saved, right? With this much blood loss?" one Yisheng said.

"Do your best." The female Yisheng sighed. Based on her experience, in Ye Xinyu's condition, the fetus was basically unsalvageable, but she could only try her best.

"Everyone get out." Chen Yu took out his Silver Needle and shouted.

"What are you doing? We are currently doing our best to save the child, what are you doing with needles?" The female Yisheng was anxious.

"I told you all to get out." Chen Yu thrust a needle in, and Ye Xinyu fell into a sleep.

"You aren't trying to use acupuncture to save the pregnancy, are you? In your wife's condition, there is an eighty or ninety percent chance the fetus cannot be saved. We are trying our best to rescue her." Dr. Zhao was shocked.

"Many thanks to you all, but you can't do it. Only if I take action myself can she be saved." As Chen Yu spoke, he thrust in five or six needles in succession.

"Dr. Zhao comes from a family of Medicine; the number of fetuses she has saved over these years is at least eight hundred, if not a thousand. Don't be ungrateful." A nurse was displeased.

"At a time like this, what use is acupuncture? It can't be saved. Letting Dr. Zhao handle it still gives a glimmer of hope. Where is security? Quickly take him out."

"Sancai Needle?" Dr. Zhao hurriedly stopped the security guards who were entering through the door. She watched Chen Yu perform Acupuncture without blinking.

Hegu, Sanyin, Taichong.

Chen Yu's needle technique was skillful. After each needle was inserted, he quickly inserted the next. It took a full half-hour to finish the Acupuncture.

Ye Xinyu's breathing was now smooth and her complexion rosy, though she still needed to recuperate from the excessive blood loss earlier.

Dr. Zhao was slightly stunned and hurriedly checked Ye Xinyu's pulse. Upon checking, she was shocked: "Fetal heartbeat is normal, pulse is steady, the fetus is saved. How is this possible?"

Removing the needles, Chen Yu finally felt Songyi. Ye Xinyu's fetus was unharmed, though she would need dietary nourishment to recover after returning home.

"Husband, the child, our child." Ye Xinyu opened her eyes and cried out.

"It's okay, Xinyu, the child has been saved. You rest well, I am here for everything, don't worry." Chen Yu hurriedly comforted her.

"Is it true, husband? Is the child really okay?" Ye Xinyu was stunned. She felt her body was much more comfortable, but she was still nervous.

"It's true, don't worry. You rest more, I'll go brew some medicine for you, don't worry." Chen Yu comforted her in a soft voice.

Only then did Ye Xinyu set her mind at ease. After comforting her, Chen Yu walked out the door.

"Mr. Chen, I suggest your wife be observed at the hospital." After exiting, Dr. Zhao took off her mask and said: "Also, was that the Sancai Needle you used just now? In a situation like this, how did you manage to stabilize the fetus?"

"It was the Sancai Needle. My wife's condition was extremely critical just now, so it was necessary to boost Qi and raise Yang, to solidify the kidneys and secure the pregnancy," Chen Yu said indifferently.

"So that's how it is." Dr. Zhao nodded thoughtfully, then she said: "Is it convenient to leave contact information? There are some questions I would like to ask you."

"Certainly," Chen Yu nodded.

"My name is Zhao Anran." Dr. Zhao added Chen Yu on WeChat and gave a sweet smile. After taking off her mask, she was beautiful and moving.

After seeing the Yisheng off, Chen Yu's face sank completely.

Ye Xinyu's condition had always been very stable. With his current medical skills, if there had been a threatened miscarriage, he certainly would have noticed it long ago.

Furthermore, Ye Xinyu was perfectly fine when he went out in the afternoon; how could she be bleeding in the blink of an eye?

"Why are you here? I remember I didn't tell you I moved." Chen Yu stared at Ye Qian.

"I, my mom said my sister moved into a luxury mansion, so she asked me to come take a look." Ye Qian asked with a worried face: "Is my sister okay now?"

"She's fine. Where is your mom now?" Chen Yu saw Ye Qian's expression and knew she was unaware.

"My mom stewed chicken soup. After my sister drank it, she went out, saying she was going home to get some things to stay here for a few days." Ye Qian said: "Brother-in-law, if everything is fine, I'll be going. Take good care of my sister."

After he helped her at the club last time, her attitude toward Chen Yu was much better. She left after saying this.

"Chicken soup?" Chen Yu's expression changed slightly. He turned and went to the kitchen, only to see half a pot of chicken soup still on the stove.

He picked up a spoon, ladled a little out, and sniffed it slightly at his nose. His expression turned instantly furious.

There was a faint, delicate fragrance at his nose. This was the scent of cinnamon twig, and within that fragrance was a bitter, astringent smell—the smell of oleander.

Cinnamon twig disperses cold and unblocks the meridians; it is non-toxic on its own, but when the two are mixed, it causes a miscarriage.

More importantly, oleander has extremely strong side effects, causing dizziness and lethargy. Wang Xueqin, is she trying to kill her own daughter?

"Xinyu, are you asleep yet? Drink some more of the chicken soup I brewed." Just at this moment, Wang Xueqin's voice came from the living room. She had dragged her luggage over; it looked like she intended to stay for a few days.

Wang Xueqin dropped her luggage and was about to run toward the kitchen when suddenly, she felt a chill.

She shivered involuntarily, then looked up in surprise, only to see Chen Yu standing before her, not hiding his murderous intent in the slightest.

"Chen Yu, you..." Wang Xueqin had a guilty conscience. She asked stammeringly: "What do you want to do?"

"Did you brew the chicken soup?" Chen Yu asked.

"Yes. Xinyu's body is weak, what's wrong with me brewing some chicken soup for her to drink?" Wang Xueqin steadied herself.

"What did you put in the chicken soup?" Chen Yu stared fixedly at Wang Xueqin.

"What I put in the chicken soup were supplements. What do you mean, Chen Yu?" Wang Xueqin said fiercely.

"Heh, supplements?" Chen Yu said coldly: "Cinnamon twig, oleander—you dare call this a supplement? These things can cause uterine contractions and lead to poisoning. In order to find your daughter a new husband's family, you actually want to poison the child in her womb."

"She had a threatened miscarriage today. If I had returned any later, this child would not have been saved," Chen Yu roared in anger.

"What nonsense are you spouting? I don't understand what you mean." A trace of panic appeared on Wang Xueqin's face. She shouted: "Chen Yu, don't make false accusations! How could I possibly harm my own daughter?"
