"Won't this keep me from getting home?"

Feeling uneasy, Su Ziyang still asked one more question.

"No, no. Our train crew will also get off with you. Besides, we need to refill our water tank at this station, and the stop will be quite long, so we'll wait until you've all returned before departing."

The flight attendant assured Su Ziyang Su Ziyang, who nodded, picked up his backpack, and followed them to the carriage where he had just rescued the person.

"Brother, the way you just saved that person... it must be traditional Chinese medicine, right?"

The train police officer who had just reassured Su Ziyang to focus on the rescue said with a smile to Su Ziyang.

"Yes."

Su Ziyang had a good impression of this person, so he smiled and nodded.

"Brother, this guy has been keeping his eyes closed ever since he woke up. He said he felt unwell and his chest hurt. If he hadn't been like this, we wouldn't have bothered you with this. We'll see if we can get in touch with him and get you some kind of certificate for his act of bravery."

The train police officer was being honest, but Su Ziyang smiled and shook his head, "Treating the sick and saving lives is a doctor's duty, no need for that."

Good doctors are rare.

The train police officer also remarked, and then the two stood at the junction of the carriages.

With five minutes to go before arriving at the station, Su Ziyang's task was to accompany the train police officer and another train attendant to safely escort the person to the stretcher area at the exit.

Without Su Ziyang much thought, the three of them helped the man down the high platform, and then slowly led the two towards the exit.

The ambulance had just arrived, and the medical staff who got out saw that Su Ziyang and the others were able to help the patient walk, so they didn't bother to put the stretcher down. They just stood by the ambulance and watched from a distance.

The stationmaster and two other train station staff members also participated briefly.

Just as Su Ziyang thought everything was alright and was about to return to the train with the two crew members, the patient who had woken up One-Handed Grab Su Ziyang's wrist.

"What's wrong?"

Su Ziyang was a little confused.

"My chest hurts, could you come with me to the hospital for a checkup? Once my family arrives, you can leave! Please!"

This person was no longer as listless as before, and was now making demands of Su Ziyang with full confidence.

Su Ziyang shook his head. "No. I still need to take a car home. There are paramedics in the ambulance now, so you can rest assured and don't need to be afraid. Even if there's another emergency, there's enough professional equipment to treat you."

Su Ziyang thought the man was holding him because he was scared, but the man's next sentence made Su Ziyang feel that the man didn't mean that.

"Once you arrive, if I have any problems, you can explain to the doctor what medication you gave me and how you just resuscitated me."

"And I'm feeling some pain in my ribs right now. I've heard before that incorrect resuscitation techniques can fracture ribs, so you still can't walk."

The man's two sentences immediately angered the train police officer. "What are you saying? This young man was struggling for ages, saving your life. You didn't even say thank you, what do you mean by this? Are you implying that if he broke your ribs, you'd have to pay him back?"

The group of people nearby also sensed something was wrong, and their brows furrowed.

The local stationmaster immediately pulled Su Ziyang and the train police officer aside. "Is the recorder on?"

The train police officer nodded, and the stationmaster breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that things weren't going well here, the flight attendant also rushed over.

After learning about the situation, the flight attendant also kept frowning.

"He's just staying here. There's nothing we can do. How about we leave one of us to act as a witness for you, and we'll issue a certificate later to let you go home for free."

Because the train was about to depart, the train conductor had no choice. After failing to reach an agreement, the train police officer and Su Ziyang stayed behind and accompanied a staff member of the local train station to the local city hospital.

Inside the ambulance, a doctor and two nurses kept trying to persuade the man that there was no need to hold onto Su Ziyang, but the man remained silent, pretending to be dead with his eyes closed, while his hands gripped Su Ziyang's wrist tightly.

"You don't need to hold me so tightly, my hands are bleeding. I can't possibly jump out of the car!"

Su Ziyang noticed the man's palms were sweating profusely and retorted without any politeness, "You don't look like someone who's just been through hell. Logically, if your heart isn't doing well, your grip should be weaker, but your fists are pretty strong. That means you're still okay!"

Several medical staff members covered their mouths and laughed at Su Ziyang's words, and the train police officer next to him also smiled.

The man was so embarrassed that although he kept his eyes closed and pretended to be serious, he let go of Su Ziyang's hand.

The ambulance sped along and soon arrived at the local central hospital.

After getting out of the car, the group went straight to the emergency room.

After receiving my ID card, they ordered an electrocardiogram, blood test, urine test, and echocardiogram.

The man insisted that his ribs hurt and that he needed a chest CT scan, so the doctor ordered another CT scan of his chest and ribs.

The person underwent various examinations under the guidance of a nurse, while Su Ziyang and the train police officer sat on chairs nearby waiting.

"Bro, what's wrong? You're not happy?"

Seeing Su Ziyang's silent demeanor, the train police officer spoke softly.

"Sigh." Su Ziyang sighed. "He definitely has a minor fracture in his ribs; I was the one who pressed on it. There was nothing I could do, I just knew it..."

Having said that he knew, Su Ziyang fell silent.

Seeing that Su Ziyang was silent again, the train police officer quickly asked, "Brother, what do you know? Also, I noticed that the way you rescued him was a bit unusual. I understand CPR at first; we've learned it too. But what was that crotch-pulling trick? Can crotch-pulling really save someone?"

The train police officer was quite humorous, and even though Su Ziyang wasn't in a good mood, he was amused by the officer. "Haha, it's not about tugging at your crotch, it's about pressing the perineum. There's an acupoint there; with a special technique, it can have an emergency effect."

"Tsk! If you ask me, traditional Chinese medicine is truly profound and extensive."

The train police officer sighed.

As Su Ziyang expected, the CT scans were available in just over an hour because it was an emergency.

There was a minor fracture in the ribs, and it was a recent injury, meaning it was definitely caused by Su Ziyang pressing on it during his emergency treatment.

What surprised Su Ziyang the most was that this guy's electrocardiogram report and echocardiogram were all perfectly normal.

Su Ziyang wondered if it was related to the little bit of true yang he had released for this guy.

The most tragic thing is that this guy isn't sick.

Whether someone has a mental illness or not doesn't matter, and you can't tell if someone has a mental illness or not, but the main thing is that their heart is definitely not sick.

The nitroglycerin and CPR administered earlier were incorrect procedures.
