Succeeded?
Upon hearing Ye Qiu’s words, the audience was first shocked, then incredulous.
“How could a terminal illness be cured?”
“Just a few needles, and he claims it’s cured? Only a fool would believe that.”
“Yeah, I’ve never heard of any doctor curing a terminal illness.”
“A classmate of mine had advanced tuberculosis, stayed in the hospital for ages, saw countless specialists, spent over a million, and died last week.”
“Curing advanced tuberculosis in less than two hours? That’s nonsense!”
“I used to idolise him, but he’s turned out to be like this.”
Amid the audience’s murmurs, in the front row of the VIP seats, a vice president of the Chinese Medicine Association asked, “Minister Qin, Ye Qiu says he succeeded. Do you believe him?”
Qin Gang, who had worked in the medical system for years, replied, “I’ve never heard of anyone curing advanced tuberculosis, but…” He glanced at Ye Qiu on stage and continued, “Judging by young Ye’s demeanour, he doesn’t seem to be lying.”
“Could he really have cured the patient?”
“If he has, then young Ye has created a miracle. The history of human medicine will be rewritten, and Chinese medicine will once again capture the world’s attention.”
On stage, Nie Xueliang approached Ye Qiu and asked, “Young Ye, have you really succeeded?”
“Yes…” Ye Qiu nodded.
As he spoke, Xu Liu brushed past him, grabbed Yang Dawei’s wrist, and closed his eyes to check his pulse.
After a moment, Xu Liu’s eyes snapped open, his face full of disbelief. “How is this possible?”
“Xu, you old dog, what’s wrong?” Nie Xueliang asked.
Xu Liu ignored him, gave Ye Qiu a deep look, and then burst into laughter.
“Xu, you old dog, have you gone mad?” Nie Xueliang cursed.
He stepped forward, grabbed Yang Dawei’s wrist, and checked his pulse.
Two minutes later, Nie Xueliang’s face mirrored the same shock. “How is this possible!”
“Old Nie, what’s going on?” Li Chunfeng asked urgently.
Nie Xueliang replied, “Ye Qiu has cured the tuberculosis. He’s healthier than a normal person now.”
Good heavens.
The audience gasped in amazement.
“Did Dr. Ye really cure it?”
“That’s incredible!”
Zhang Jiuling, beaming with joy, immediately said, “Staff, quickly take this patient for a full medical check-up.”
“Yes, sir.”
A staff member came on stage to escort Yang Dawei.
“Wait!” Ye Qiu stopped the staff and said, “Elder Zhang, I suggest we conduct the check-up right here.”
Zhang Jiuling looked troubled. “The patient needs multiple tests, and we don’t have the facilities here…”
“If there are no facilities, we can find a way,” Xu Liu interrupted. “A public check-up will be more convincing.”
Zhang Jiuling understood the logic, but a public check-up was logistically complex, requiring multiple doctors and equipment.
“Ye Qiu, are you sure about a public check-up?” Qin Gang stood up from the front row and asked.
“Yes,” Ye Qiu nodded firmly.
“I’ll handle it,” Qin Gang said, making a call to the senior management of the Affiliated Hospital of Southern Medical University.
Ten minutes later, several vehicles pulled up outside the stadium. Over twenty doctors in white coats disembarked, along with staff carrying equipment.
Seeing the setup, Yang Dawei grew anxious. “Dr. Ye, am I really cured?”
Ye Qiu smiled. “Once the test results come out, you can see for yourself.”
“Alright, thank you, Dr. Ye.”
Soon, the stage was filled with various medical instruments.
The staff began testing Yang Dawei—blood draws, imaging, and more.
The process proceeded methodically.
Ten minutes passed.
Twenty minutes passed.
An hour passed.
The tests still weren’t complete, and the audience grew restless.
“What’s taking so long? It’s still not done?”
“This is way too slow!”
“I just want to know if Dr. Ye really cured this advanced tuberculosis patient.”
“Elder Nie said he’s cured, so he must be.”
“Hearing is not believing; seeing is. I’ll only trust the test results.”
“Exactly, I only believe the test results.”
It wasn’t that they doubted Ye Qiu’s skills, but curing a terminal illness was so unthinkable that only test results could fully convince them.
The audience waited anxiously.
Another twenty minutes later, the tests finally concluded.
CCTV host Dong Si appeared on stage.
Just as everyone expected her to announce the results, Dong Si said, “Please be patient a little longer.”
“While the tests are done, the results will take another fifteen minutes.”
Ugh, more waiting!
Fifteen minutes later, Dong Si’s voice rang out, “Everyone, the test results are here.”
Instantly, the stadium fell silent, all eyes fixed on the stage.
Holding the report, Dong Si announced solemnly, “The expert professors from the Affiliated Hospital of Southern Medical University conducted a comprehensive examination of Mr. Yang. The latest diagnosis confirms that Mr. Yang’s body is fully recovered.”
As she spoke, the test results appeared on the big screen.
The crowd erupted in excitement.
“I can’t believe someone in this world can actually cure a terminal illness.”
“This is unreal. I still can’t believe it’s true!”
“Dr. Ye is incredible!”
The CCTV live stream was still running, and viewers online were equally shocked.
“No way, he really cured it?”
“Dr. Ye is practically a living Hua Tuo!”
“Dr. Ye is mighty, Chinese medicine is mighty!”
“Ye Qiu, forever a legend!”
One viewer’s comment sparked a flood, and soon the live stream was dominated by, “Ye Qiu, forever a legend!”
On stage, Yang Dawei bowed deeply to Ye Qiu, tears streaming down his face. “Dr. Ye, thank you. You’re my saviour. I don’t even know how to repay you…”
Yang Dawei was overwhelmed with emotion.
Ye Qiu patted his shoulder, smiling. “Saving lives is my duty. No need for thanks.”
“The greatest meaning of life is to live!”
“Live well from now on, for yourself and your family.”
“Yes,” Yang Dawei nodded firmly.
Xu Liu spoke up, “Ye Qiu, you’re remarkable.”
“I’m thoroughly convinced of my loss in this round.”
“After three hundred years, Chinese medicine finally has a Medical Sage, and a young one at that. The revival of Chinese medicine is within reach!”
Xu Liu shifted gears, asking, “Zhang Jiuling, when are you planning to hold the Medical Sage ceremony for Ye Qiu?”
