Life-and-Death Choice (Continued)

"I don't want children, I don't want anything, I just want you to live."

Ai Qing seemed exhausted, her eyelids gradually drooping. "You must live well... Don't hate anyone... This is fate."

Su Yingbo said anxiously, "Don't think like that. This isn't anyone's fate. Nobody can decide our fate. You'll be alright."

At this moment, the chief physician said, "Commander Su, please withdraw your True Qi, otherwise we will not be able to examine your wife's injuries internally."

"OK."

"Remember to pull it back slowly so we can patch it up in time and avoid any unprotected gaps."

Although Su Yingbo's cultivation level was much higher than that of the doctors present, his Internal Cultivation was more suitable for combat, while the doctors' True Qi had the effect of healing injuries and removing toxins. As the saying goes, everyone has their own expertise.

Several doctors acted independently, channeling their inner True Qi into various acupoints to investigate the situation. The chief physician placed his left hand on Ai Qing's wrist, took out a needle box from his pocket with his right hand, and used the "Divine Needle Revival" method to puncture five key acupoints to stimulate her vitality.

After a while, Su Yingbo saw that the doctors all looked worried and his heart was in his throat, so he couldn't help but ask, "Doctor, how is the situation?"

The chief physician hesitated for a moment, then asked, "May I ask, Commander Su, how did your wife get injured?"

Su Yingbo's eyes darkened, and he said, "My father-in-law persuaded me to assist the Second Prince, but my wife refused. The two argued, and during the scuffle, my wife fell down the stairs."

"This..."

The chief physician had intended to provoke Su Yingbo's anger by blaming the murderer, but since it was a family member who had accidentally injured her, he found it difficult to speak. However, he was also puzzled. Although Su Yingbo's wife was already weak and pregnant, if Su Yingbo had acted in time to protect her vital organs such as her heart with his True Qi, her injuries should not have deteriorated to this extent.

As if sensing the doctor's question, Su Yingbo said regretfully, "There happened to be two Imperial Guard fighting nearby at that time, and I had no choice but to step in to mediate. If only I had known... sigh!"

Upon hearing this, the chief physician could only bite the bullet and say, "Commander Su, medicine and martial arts are inseparable. You are Spirit Transformation Grandmaster, and your ability to see the human body internally is far superior to ours. You know your wife's injuries better than we do..."

Before he could finish speaking, Su Yingbo interrupted, "I don't care! You must save her. You're both doctors, how can you just stand by and watch her die?"

The doctors protested their innocence.

"It's not that we're unwilling to help, it's just that our capabilities are limited."

"How could I stand idly by if I had the ability to save us? Even if I saw an injured cat or dog on the street, I would still help it, let alone a living person!"

Su Yingbo angrily retorted, "Doesn't your Royal Central Hospital claim that 'as long as a person has a breath left, they can be saved'? My wife is still alive and well, so how come you couldn't save her?"

"How can you believe such advertising slogans? And some people say that a certain miracle doctor can bring the dead back to life and heal bones. Can you believe such things?"

"Yes, for example, those hair growth products that claim to make hair grow back are all fake, even if they're on TV."

When the conversation turned to anything related to their professional fields, the doctors became indignant, so much so that they disregarded even the imposing presence of Spirit Transformation cultivator.

The chief physician quickly stopped everyone, then earnestly said, "It's not impossible to bring someone back to life, but the prerequisite is that the person's own vitality must be strong enough. A strong person like Commander Su can revive even without anyone else's help, just by holding on to his last breath. But your wife is not only physically weak, but also pregnant. Saving her is ten times more difficult than for an ordinary person, let alone compared to a strong martial artist."

As Spirit Transformation Grandmaster, Su Yingbo was well aware of these circumstances, but because he knew them, they sounded all the more grating to him. He immediately retorted angrily, "I don't want to hear any of that. I only want to know if you can save them. If you dare to say no..."

"Yingbo..."

Ai Qing made an extremely faint sound, as if a gust of wind could blow it away, but Su Yingbo heard it immediately. He turned his head and met his wife's pleading gaze, and could no longer utter any further threats.

As if experiencing a final burst of energy before death, Ai Qing suddenly regained her strength and said haltingly, "The doctor can save... the living, but how can he save the dead? Don't blame... blame them. Go do what you should do... you are the Imperial Army, you have a responsibility... to protect everyone..."

Su Yingbo choked out, "Stop talking, stop talking. If I can't even protect you, who else can I protect?"

Suddenly, he prostrated himself on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly to the doctors, pleading, "Just now, in my eagerness to save her, I spoke rudely and insulted you all. I deserve to die, I deserve to die! Doctors, you are all miracle workers, please save my wife, please save her..."

As he spoke, he kowtowed repeatedly, the sound shaking the entire floor. Even with the physical body of Spirit Transformation cultivator, his forehead turned red.

"Commander Su, please don't be like this. Get up, please get up!"

The chief physician quickly stepped aside, not daring to accept such a grand gesture. He stepped forward to help the woman up, but given the difference in their abilities, it was impossible. In the end, he could only promise, "We will do our best and use every means to save your wife."

The other doctors exchanged glances. They were indeed quite angry at Su Yingbo's earlier threats, but now that they saw him disregarding his dignity as Spirit Transformation Grandmaster and kowtowing to them for his wife, their anger vanished instantly. Many were even moved, realizing that they might not have been able to do the same.

"Commander Su, if we have ten parts of strength, we will give twelve parts to save your wife."

"Everyone, give yourselves an Excitement Finger to lift your spirits. Those True Qi is significantly depleted should take a Five Elements Qi Recovery Pill."

"Try seeing Physician Yan in the acupuncture department. His Ziqi Wind Valley Flying Needles can greatly stimulate life potential, making it ideal for prolonging the lives of the dying and helping them overcome life-threatening situations... Although it has the side effect of shortening lifespan, shortening lifespan is better than dying now."

These words were undoubtedly addressed to Su Yingbo, of course, understood the importance of the matter and nodded, saying, "That's how it should be. Saving lives is the priority; nothing else matters."

The doctors quickly pushed Ai Qing into the emergency room for treatment. Although Su Yingbo was also skilled in medicine, and even considered the bonus from his Internal Cultivation, making him more skilled than the average doctor, he was far inferior to the expert doctors in front of him, Internal Cultivation was above level nine. Therefore, he consciously did not go in to interfere with the treatment.

While Su Yingbo waited anxiously outside the emergency room, Si Ming arrived with his follower He Qichang and asked, "Senior, what happened? I think I saw you carrying your wife in."

Su Yingbo was in no mood to chat with a junior. If it had been Yan Jinghong, he might have poured out his heart. But when Si Ming asked him, he simply waved his hand, indicating that he was not in the mood to answer.

Si Ming wasn't annoyed. He grabbed a passing nurse and quickly learned what had happened. He frowned, glanced at Su Yingbo, and knew things were going to be difficult, but he was still determined to give it a try.

"Senior Su, although this request may seem somewhat unreasonable, I hope you can step in and stop those Imperial Army soldiers from engaging in private fights. Only you can do this now."

Su Yingbo waved his hand irritably. "I'm not in the mood right now."

"Senior Su, even if you stay here, you won't be of much help. Why don't I wait here in your place while you maintain order in the city? There are fighting everywhere in the city right now, and innocent people are getting hurt every single second..."

"I've already said I'm not in the mood, can't you understand human language?!"

Su Yingbo roared, then swung her hand, the force of which grazed Si Ming's cheek and struck the wall behind him, tearing a gash in its path.

Si Ming remained calm and continued, "If you're worried, I can call my master. I guarantee nothing will go wrong. They need you more out there than here..."

"Let them fight! If it weren't for them, how could Ai Qing have been so badly injured? Let them fight, let them fight until they're bloodied and battered! Let them bleed like rivers of blood! They deserve it!" Su Yingbo said through gritted teeth, waving his fists.

Si Ming shook his head and said, "Even if those soldiers deserved it, what about those civilians? They are all innocent. Perhaps somewhere in the city, there is a husband like you, weeping for his seriously injured wife. Can you bear to see the same tragedy happen to others?"
