Peerless Medical Emperor

Chen Qingdi then tossed a piece of chewing gum directly into the bowl.

At first, there was no reaction. But after just a few dozen seconds, the water in the bowl slowly started to turn black.

Seeing this, Zhang Yancai was startled.

"How could this be?"

"How can a piece of chewing gum be poisonous?"

Frightened, Zhang Yancai collapsed limply to the ground.

"Why can’t chewing gum be poisonous?"

"And this is the extremely lethal Seven-Colored Snake Venom."

Chen Qingdi said.

"What seven-colored snake?"

"I’ve never even heard of it."

"How could snake venom get into chewing gum?"

"Don’t these kinds of food products have to be inspected?"

Zhang Yancai said.

"This Seven-Colored Snake Venom is colorless and odorless. Its only characteristic is that it shimmers with seven colors in the light."

"A rainbow-colored gum like this would be the perfect way to hide that flaw."

Chen Qingdi said.

"By the way, where did your child buy this gum?"

Chen Qingdi continued to ask.

"Well..."

Just as Zhang Yancai was about to speak, a cough sounded from behind her.

It was the sound of Zhang Yancai’s child coughing.

A boy who had been on the verge of death was now coughing. This naturally meant he was going to be alright.

Zhang Yancai was overjoyed.

She quickly turned and rushed toward her child.

A wide smile spread across her face.

"My son, my son!"

"My boy, are you okay now?"

Zhang Yancai moved to pick up her son.

"Don’t touch him."

"His body is still covered in poison."

Chen Qingdi said quickly.

When Zhang Yancai heard this, she was so frightened she froze on the spot.

Chen Qingdi strode over and looked at the little boy on the stretcher.

The boy had opened his eyes, but it was clear from his expression that he was still in great pain.

"Don’t be afraid. Uncle will save you."

"Once I get the poison out of you, you’ll be better right away."

Chen Qingdi said to the little boy with a smile.

"How are you going to remove the poison from his body?"

Zhang Yancai’s attitude toward Chen Qingdi had now undergone a drastic change.

"What, so now you believe I can save your son?"

Chen Qingdi looked at Zhang Yancai.

"I was blind before."

"It was my fault."

"I didn’t understand the situation."

Zhang Yancai said.

"Alright, what matters is that you’ve realized your mistake. It’s normal that you didn’t know about your son’s poisoning. After all, I only just discovered the poison was hidden in the chewing gum."

"He can’t eat that kind of gum anymore."

"Also, my godmother taught me part of my medical skills. She’s spent her whole life saving people, and has no intention of harming anyone."

"You wronged her this time. You need to apologize."

Chen Qingdi stared at Zhang Yancai.

Zhang Yancai nodded quickly, then hurried over to Lin Zhongxue.

"Doctor Zhongxue, I didn’t know the facts. I wronged you."

"I was wrong. Please forgive me."

Zhang Yancai said.

"Don’t worry about it."

"Let’s put this behind us. What’s important is that we now know the truth lies with the chewing gum."

Lin Zhongxue was a magnanimous person.

"When will my son be completely better?"

"How will you detoxify him?"

Zhang Yancai looked at Chen Qingdi with a serious expression.

The child lying on the stretcher, Liu Xiaowu, was the apple of Zhang Yancai’s eye.

She had always doted on him.

For something like this to have happened, Zhang Yancai actually bore an undeniable responsibility.

If she had been stricter with her child, perhaps he wouldn’t have eaten that poisonous chewing gum.

The poisoned gum was a key piece of information.

Next, Chen Qingdi had to figure out where the poisoned gum had come from.

But for now, he had to save the boy first.

To the side, tears streamed from Zhang Yancai’s anxious eyes, a heart-wrenching sight.

"Leave the detoxification to me!"

As he spoke, Chen Qingdi took out two silver needles and plunged them into the soles of Liu Xiaowu’s feet.

A moment later, black blood began to gurgle out from the soles of his feet.

And Liu Xiaowu’s pale face gradually regained its healthy, rosy color.

Seeing this, Zhang Yancai’s worries began to fade.

She looked at Chen Qingdi, her face filled with gratitude and admiration.

"Everyone, back up."

Chen Qingdi said to the crowd that had gathered around.

Everyone was bewildered, not understanding why Chen Qingdi was asking them to do this.

"What’s wrong?"

"Can’t we watch?"

"It’s not like it’s some secret technique."

Voices rose from the crowd.

"No, I’m about to expel the poison."

"If you don’t spread out and the poison gets on you, I’m not taking any responsibility."

Chen Qingdi said.

"But didn’t the poisoned blood already flow out?"

"How else are you clearing the poison?"

The crowd was still bewildered.

"Every breath he takes carries the poison."

"I need to cleanse the poison from the surface of his body as well."

"If you insist on crowding around, I certainly won’t stop you."

Chen Qingdi said to the crowd with a smile.

Hearing Chen Qingdi say this, they all quickly backed away toward the door.

They were terrified the poison would drift onto them.

Zhang Yancai craned her neck from her spot just outside the door, her eyes fixed on Liu Xiaowu.

A cloud of black qi was now floating above Liu Xiaowu’s body.

The people who had run outside were now all extremely grateful for Chen Qingdi’s earlier warning.

With a gentle wave of his hand, Chen Qingdi guided the black qi floating over Liu Xiaowu into a small vial, which he then tucked away.

After all this was done, Chen Qingdi patted Liu Xiaowu.

"Alright, kid. You can stand up now."

Chen Qingdi said.

Liu Xiaowu nodded and immediately stood up.

Seeing Liu Xiaowu stand up, Zhang Yancai’s face lit up with excitement. She rushed to her son’s side and gently hugged him.

"My son, how do you feel now?"

Zhang Yancai asked.

"I feel great. Is anything wrong?"

"Mom, why are you crying?"

Liu Xiaowu didn’t seem to remember what had happened to him.

"Thank you, Doctor Chen."

"Without you, my son today would have..."

Zhang Yancai couldn’t bring herself to say the last few words.

"Don’t worry. As long as I’m here, your son will be fine."

"But Liu Xiaowu, let me ask you, where did you buy your chewing gum?"

Chen Qingdi asked.

"At a little shop not far from my house."

"That gum is delicious! A bunch of my friends bought it too."

Liu Xiaowu said excitedly.

Hearing this, Chen Qingdi’s brow furrowed.
