Chapter 77: Chapter 77 Doing a Bad Thing with Good Intentions
After these words fell into the ears of the people present, the scene immediately became a hubbub.
"Big brother, look at him; he’s nothing but a greenhorn, and on top of that, a country bumpkin from the countryside. How can you not trust Master Liu yet believe the words of a child?"
"Isn’t that true? If our dad can’t withstand his messing around and something should happen to him, what would we do then?"
"I actually think we should follow Master Liu’s methods. That’s the safest way to go."
Faced with the opposition from his family members, the eldest of the Tang Family’s complexion became very unsightly.
But after all, he was the helmsman of this generation of the Tang Family. With a darkened face, he immediately shouted loudly, "Enough, all of you shut up. I’ve made my decision, and I’ll take any consequences upon myself."
With his words, other people present immediately fell silent.
Seeing that he had intimidated everyone present, Liu Zheng immediately sprang into action.
"Come, help take off Old Master Tang’s shirt. I need to massage his acupoints."
Since he had already decided to take a risk, the eldest of the Tang Family naturally didn’t delay.
He waved his hand, called several people over to help, and together they removed Old Master Tang’s shirt.
Looking at the shirt that had been taken off, Liu Zheng nodded, and then immediately gave another instruction, "Prepare a set of cupping therapy equipment for me right away; I’m going to need it soon."
After giving his orders, he didn’t care whether the other party complied or not and went straight to sit behind Old Master Tang.
He started to massage Old Master Tang with both hands.
Liu Zheng’s massage technique was quite odd, causing Master Liu who was watching to frown deeply.
This was the first time he had seen such a method of massage.
The short-haired girl standing beside him also frowned and sneered coldly.
As for the eldest of the Tang Family, after thinking it over for a moment, he still instructed his subordinates to prepare everything as Liu Zheng had arranged.
In a short span of time, Old Master Tang’s back had turned fiery red.
This was all due to the massaging by Liu Zheng.
Seeing the reddened back, the Tang Family’s members couldn’t help but feel a wave of heartache.
Master Liu, witnessing this scene, couldn’t help but snort. He and the girl beside him naturally shared the same thought, wanting to see how Liu Zheng would handle the situation.
"The cupping therapy set has been brought over!"
Someone from the Tang Family brought over a set of cupping therapy equipment and placed it beside Liu Zheng.
Glancing at the person, Liu Zheng nodded slightly.
Then he took out the silver needles he carried with him and started to insert more than ten needles into Old Master Tang’s back.
After performing the acupuncture, Liu Zheng then picked up the cupping jars next to him, heated them with fire for a moment, and quickly removed the silver needles before applying the cups to the spots.
This process was repeated over ten times, until the entire set of cupping jars was affixed to Old Master Tang’s back.
Upon close observation, one would notice that the spots where the needles had been because of the applied cups were now beginning to bleed.
Moreover, the flesh was also gradually rising, creating a somewhat shocking sight.
Watching this scene, the eldest of the Tang Family furrowed his brows.
He was not at all reassured now and also felt pained for the suffering his father was enduring.
Fretting over the situation, his forehead was now covered in cold sweat.
The short-haired beauty, who had been observing coldly all this while, sneered at this moment and said, "I thought you had some sort of skill, but it turns out to be nothing more than superficial tricks. Just look at Old Master Tang’s face, not only has it not improved, but it has become even paler. Are you really up to this or not? If you can’t handle it, don’t force yourself. If you cause harm to Mr. Tang..."
The Tang Family members, who were already opposed to Liu Zheng’s treatment methods, upon hearing the short-haired beauty’s words, glared at Liu Zheng with even greater anger.
And indeed, someone had already begun to raise doubts.
"Damn it, are you really a doctor? Can these techniques of yours even work?"
"Let me tell you beforehand, if you do not cure my father’s illness and instead delay his treatment, I definitely won’t let you leave the Tang Family easily."
"Big brother, I already said before that this guy is unreliable, but you insisted on letting him treat our father. Look at what’s happened now; your trust in him was completely mistaken."
Faced with so much skepticism, Liu Zheng did not retort but instead turned his head to glance at the eldest of the Tang Family.
Seeing him with furrowed brows as well, there was nothing left to do but to stop Liu Zheng’s treatment from continuing.
Without explaining the illness or his treatment methods, Liu Zheng commanded again, "Go, bring over a basin of water."
Although not understanding what Liu Zheng had in mind, the eldest of the Tang Family still waved his hand, instructing people to follow Liu Zheng’s order and brought a basin over.
Pointing at a spot in front of the old Master Tang, Liu Zheng said, "Place it there, and that will be fine."
The basin was placed in front of the old Master Tang.
Yet, no one understood the meaning of this.
Meanwhile, Liu Zheng systematically began to remove the cupping glasses, one after another.
Inside the cups was slightly coagulated black blood, which looked rather frightening.
When the last cup was pulled off the old Master Tang’s body, Liu Zheng suddenly slapped him on the back.
With a "smack," the sound startled everyone present.
But then,
in the next instant, the old Master Tang, who had been sitting there, suddenly opened his eyes, his mouth wide as he leaned forward and then, with an open mouth, a large mouthful of black thick blood "blah" spewed out.
Everyone was shocked, especially upon seeing the black fresh blood in the basin, they were even more bewildered.
As people came to their senses, they immediately began to loudly berate.
"What are you doing?"
"Stop it, you’re killing my dad, do you want to murder him?"
The eldest of the Tang Family had an awful expression on his face. He stared at Liu Zheng, filled with fear.
The short-haired beauty standing beside Mr. Liu had a vicious smile on her face at this moment.
If anything happened to Liu Zheng, she couldn’t be happier.
At the same time, the members of the Tang Family had already been charging up, some pulling at arms, others tugging at clothes.
The room was quickly thrown into complete disarray.
The people who came to pull Liu Zheng away were highly agitated, as if they were ready to tear him apart.
And in the midst of the crowd of the Tang Family, two new figures had appeared at this time.
One of the middle-aged men severely scolded his daughter beside him, "Wan Ru, look at the mess you’ve caused. If it wasn’t for your meddling, allowing this youngster to treat old Mr. Tang, would such a thing have happened?"
Naturally, the speaker was Qin Gang.
He had just pushed his way into the crowd when he saw the black blood in the basin, immediately breaking out in a cold sweat.
Overcome with shock, he wasted no time in loudly blaming his own daughter.
While blaming her, Qin Gang had already dragged his daughter to stand before the eldest of the Tang Family.
"Jiancheng brother, my daughter meant well, but unfortunately, it turned out to be doing harm instead, please be forgiving regarding this matter."
The Qin Family had always been on good terms with the Tang Family, although the Qin Family could not match the Tang’s wealth and might.
Now, with old Master Tang harmed by Liu Zheng, the relationship between the Qin and Tang families was likely to become strained.
Qin Wan Ru, who was pulled over, was also deathly pale at this moment.
She too did not expect that her good intentions to save old Mr. Tang would turn out this way.
Little did she know, Liu Zheng, who seemed to have high medical skills, would cause such a mess after arriving.
With anger and fear in her heart, Qin Wan Ru looked at Liu Zheng at this moment, hoping he could provide her with an explanation.
