Strategizing from Afar

The human body contained a vast sea of acupoints. Xia Kingdom's ancient medical arts had conducted some research into them.

But it was only superficial.

For instance, Su Yuan had just followed the method provided by the Grey Mirror.

By stimulating the third level of Hidden Acupoints within Zhou Weiwei's body, he had eased her hereditary heart disease.

The third level of Hidden Acupoints consisted of special acupoints concealed beneath the body's tendons and veins, closely connected to one's physical essence.

Ten minutes later.

Su Yuan withdrew the silver needles.

At that moment, Zhou Weiwei was completely different from how she had been ten minutes ago.

Though her complexion was still somewhat pale and weak, she at least looked like a living person.

"Done."

Su Yuan glanced at Tang Zhien and continued, "This is the first course of treatment. One course every four months, ten courses in total. Once all the courses are complete, she'll be cured."

"Good, good, good."

Tang Zhien was overwhelmed with excitement and immediately walked to the bedside, looking at Zhou Weiwei, whose complexion had grown far rosier.

It was the first time he had seen Zhou Weiwei in such a state. She actually had a faint trace of health and vitality.

Su Yuan said nothing more and turned toward the door.

The ward door opened.

Su Yuan strode through it.

Not long after he left the ward.

"Who goes there?!"

The top-floor security personnel finally reacted. Their captain stared at Su Yuan in disbelief.

When had this person appeared on the top floor?

And he had even walked out of Ward No. 3?

The security captain could not believe it.

He knew the identity of every single person on the top floor. He could tell what kind of fly it was even if one flew in.

How could a living person suddenly appear out of nowhere?

How was that possible?

"Who exactly are you?"

The security captain faced him as if confronting a formidable enemy, ready to make a move at any moment.

The next moment.

Su Yuan looked at him.

Rumble—

An invisible force of the mind surged forth. The security captain felt as though a mountain had been placed upon his back, leaving him utterly unable to move.

The other security personnel were the same. Anyone who harbored even the slightest hostility toward Su Yuan was suppressed by the surging mental force.

With a calm expression, Su Yuan walked past all the security personnel to the elevator and took it down.

Inside the elevator.

Su Yuan reviewed everything he had done since entering Zhongshan Hospital.

Walking out of Ward No. 3 and confronting the top-floor security personnel had also been part of his plan.

His purpose was to further intimidate Tang Zhien.

He had entered Ward No. 3 without a sound.

Then he had left Ward No. 3 openly and boldly.

The former displayed Su Yuan's methods.

The latter displayed Su Yuan's strength.

Moreover, if Zhou Weiwei wanted to keep living, she would still need Su Yuan to complete the remaining nine courses of treatment.

With both favor and intimidation in hand, Tang Zhien would not dare betray Su Yuan even if death were upon him.

"One Dark Force practitioner and twenty-seven Ming Jin practitioners..."

Su Yuan recalled the security arrangements on the hospital's top floor.

The security captain was a Dark Force expert.

The rest were all Ming Jin practitioners.

It had to be said that such a security team was enough to handle most threats.

But before Su Yuan, they were exceptionally fragile.

"Why does it feel... like that Dark Force practitioner was far weaker than I imagined..."

Su Yuan was rather puzzled. In terms of strength, he was at Great Completion of Transforming Force and could indeed crush a Dark Force practitioner.

Yet under the suppression of his mental force, that man had not even struggled...

The hospital's top floor.

Tang Zhien carefully observed Zhou Weiwei for a while before realizing that the mysterious person who had treated her had already left.

Only then did the security captain hurry inside.

"Elder Tang." The panic and shock had yet to fade from the security captain's face.

"What happened?"

Tang Zhien immediately realized that the security captain must have encountered something.

"Just now, someone walked out of Ward No. 3..."

The security captain promptly recounted everything he knew.

"You mean, that mysterious person merely looked at you, and you were unable to move..." Tang Zhien's expression turned grave.

At this point, he was certain that the mysterious person was Su Yuan, the one who had treated Zhou Weiwei.

"It wasn't just me. None of the other brothers could move either."

The security captain added.

Tang Zhien fell silent again.

With merely a glance, he had suppressed an elite security team so completely that they could not move?

"What level of expert do you think that mysterious person is?"

After a long while, Tang Zhien asked with difficulty.

"The method that mysterious person used to suppress us was mental force. Anyone capable of using mental force is a Huajin Grandmaster..."

The security captain steadied himself. "But he should be Perfected Huajin!"

It was not as if he had never met an ordinary Huajin Grandmaster. Even if one could suppress him with mental force, he would at least be able to struggle somewhat.

Like a fish on a chopping block, he could still flop around a few times in the butcher's hands.

But before that mysterious person? The security captain had not even had the thought of struggling.

And that was with the other party's mental force being split to suppress the other security personnel as well.

"Perfected Huajin..."

Tang Zhien sank into silence once more.

In ancient times, a person of that level could have taken an enemy general's head from among an army of a million.

"Do you know how he got in?" Tang Zhien let out a soft breath and looked at the security captain.

"I..." The security captain's expression darkened.

That was also what he found most incomprehensible. Even a Perfected Huajin Grandmaster could not turn invisible, could he?

How had he entered Ward No. 3 through their layers upon layers of security?

"What about the surveillance footage?"

Tang Zhien said.

Besides its stringent security, the top floor was covered with surveillance cameras. Every blind spot was monitored, including the wards.

"I'll ask."

The security captain immediately walked out.

Before long, he returned.

"Elder Tang, the surveillance system on the top floor was hacked. The feeds were all looping footage."

The security captain spoke in a low voice.

"I understand."

Tang Zhien waved a hand. This was within his expectations.

Otherwise, how could Su Yuan have remained in Ward No. 3 for so long without anyone outside reacting at all?

"Call President Lu here."

Tang Zhien stopped dwelling on it and gave the order.

Very soon.

Lu Fusheng, dressed in a white coat, entered the ward.

"Elder Tang."

Lu Fusheng looked at Tang Zhien. He had just begun to smile when he noticed that the many medical devices connected to Zhou Weiwei had all been disconnected, even her oxygen mask removed.

"Who did this?"

Lu Fusheng frowned, but before he could finish speaking.

He saw the changes in Zhou Weiwei, who lay on the hospital bed.

"This is?"

Lu Fusheng hurried to the bedside and conducted a careful examination. Finally, he reconnected the medical equipment to determine Zhou Weiwei's current condition.

"A miracle, this is a miracle!"

Lu Fusheng could scarcely believe it. He discovered that Zhou Weiwei's heartbeat had become strong again, completely unlike the previous diagnosis.

"President Lu, how is Weiwei now?"

Tang Zhien asked.

Although Zhou Weiwei's complexion suggested that she was in better condition than ever before.

Tang Zhien still needed confirmation from an expert before he could feel at ease.

"Elder Tang, this is a miracle!" Lu Fusheng became excited. "Weiwei's heart has regained its vitality. She won't have any problems for at least the next four or five months."

"Four or five months?"

Tang Zhien looked at Zhou Weiwei on the bed.

He thought of the ten courses of treatment the mysterious person had mentioned, one course every four months.

Just then.

Tang Zhien's phone suddenly rang.

He picked it up and saw that the incoming call was labeled "Unknown Caller."

That was right. There was no number displayed at all, only the notice "Unknown Caller."

Upon seeing this, the experienced Tang Zhien immediately realized that the nearby cell tower had been hacked, resulting in this situation.

And the person making this call was undoubtedly that mysterious person.

Tang Zhien walked to the window and answered the call.

"How is it? You've confirmed Zhou Weiwei's current physical condition, haven't you?"

Hearing the voice from the phone, Tang Zhien turned to look at Lu Fusheng, who was still conducting his examination.

He had only just received confirmation from President Lu Fusheng, yet the call had already come.

That made Tang Zhien realize that everything he did was under that mysterious person's watchful gaze.
