Chapter Twenty-Three: Old Chen Has Fainted

“Chu Feng, don’t make things difficult for Dr. Sun. I’ll just cooperate with their examination; they’re only following orders from the military.”

Old Mr. Chen didn’t want to put Chu Feng in a tough spot. Dr. Sun’s stern attitude was because he’d received strict instructions from the military to take special care of Mr. Chen, who had long been involved in cutting-edge weapons research.

“Mr. Chen, if you undergo another round of tests and expose yourself to more radiation, it will definitely hinder your recovery.” Chu Feng explained the risks to Mr. Chen in detail.

“Dr. Sun, I’m not questioning your medical skills, but Mr. Chen’s health simply can’t withstand extensive examinations right now. Even if those machines only emit minimal radiation, Mr. Chen is elderly—his body can’t take it.”

“Old Wang, quickly fetch a set of silver needles—sterilized, and hurry! Any later and Mr. Chen will be beyond saving,” Chu Feng instructed, making it clear that the needles had to be disinfected.

Old Wang dashed out to find the needles. Lao Jin and Chu Feng moved Mr. Chen onto the hospital bed, and Chu Feng discreetly placed his watch at Mr. Chen’s waist.

The hands on the dial spun wildly, circling five times before stopping. The number on the dial changed from 180 to 175. Chu Feng drew on the lifespan stored in the watch to stabilize Mr. Chen’s vital signs.

“Prepare for emergency resuscitation! Call every doctor in the hospital to examine Mr. Chen!” Dr. Sun was startled by Old Wang’s outcry, only now reacting and sending orders to
