552: Chapter 552 This is Just a Beginning 552: Chapter 552 This is Just a Beginning “What?
How is this possible?
How is this possible?
Am I seeing things?”
“Am I dreaming?
This is too incredible, right?”
“That patient can’t be faking it, right?
But that’s not possible.
His head was smashed up like that; it’s impossible to fake.
Amazing, it’s just amazing.
Can traditional Chinese medicine really do this?”
“Oh my God, God, please tell me this isn’t real.”
The Traditional Chinese Medicine team created a miracle, a miracle that could shatter the outdated views people had about traditional Chinese medicine.
Even other members of the Traditional Chinese Medicine team found it somewhat unbelievable.
The vast Central Square was also filled with noise; almost everyone was shouting words like “unbelievable.” Many who had favored Western medicine were now in disarray, facing such a dramatic event.
The Traditional Chinese Medicine team had actually achieved what advanced Western medicine had accomplished.
Gleeful also widened his eyes, speechless for a moment, and shook his head, “Oh God, you’re not joking with me, are you?”
“It looks like I need to change my opinion about traditional Chinese medicine; I can’t deny, this time we lost.” Nathan’s expression looked somewhat sour.
The chairperson Bi and the others also stood up in surprise from their seats, their faces showing deep joy.
The first battle was hard to find and crucial.
They too had been sweating for Tangyu and his team from the start.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, losing this first match wouldn’t have been an injustice, since it was historically a weak spot for traditional Chinese medicine.
Though traditional Chinese medicine also involved surgeries, it couldn’t compare to Western medicine equipped with advanced devices.
“They really can create miracles for us.” Ma Yan also nodded in relief.
The ministers and others all wore smiles on their faces.
Tangyu looked at Nathan and said, “How do you count this round?”
Nathan clenched his teeth and said, “In terms of time, we were about the same.
However, in terms of the patient’s recovery, yours was better.
You win this round.
Don’t worry, we have the sportsmanship to admit when we lose.
Captain Tang, I take back my prior view of you; you are indeed a formidable opponent worth taking seriously.
But, this was just a warm-up, just the beginning.
For us, it was the simplest thing.
The real competition is still to come, and I hope to see even more spectacular performances from Captain Tang’s team in the future, so that our trip won’t be in vain.”
Nathan’s concession finally made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, clenching their fists in their hearts and shouting, “We won.”
Tangyu smirked and said, “Captain Nathan, be assured, we Huaxia people value friendship the most.
Having friends like you visiting, we will surely make your journey worthwhile, and we will make it an unforgettable experience for you in Donglin City.
Our performance will only be more spectacular, just like you said, this is just a warm-up, the excitement is still to come.
Like the saying goes, ‘Traditional Chinese medicine is unbeatable.’ We in traditional Chinese medicine will never shy away from any challenge.
Our warriors from Huaxia will always march forth boldly.”
“Good, see you this afternoon then.” Nathan said.
The morning’s exchange is hereby concluded; this event was set to continue over two to three days, with one exchange each morning.
“Well done, Tangyu, you are our pride, the pride of traditional Chinese medicine.”
“Tangyu, you are amazing, you are my idol.
You have to lead our Traditional Chinese Medicine team and give those Western medicine experts a run for their money, let them recognize our traditional Chinese medicine.”
“Tangyu, I love you, I’ll marry you tomorrow, please take care of me!”
“Tangyu, let’s be friends.”
The square was not short of a flurry, and Tangyu and the others were quickly escorted away by security guards.
The morning’s exchange had been quite lengthy, and it was now noon.
This time, they were not headed to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, but instead to the Shangri-La Hotel.
The journalists followed along, sensing the news.
In the car.
With this practical display of medical skills, even those who were originally skeptical of Tangyu couldn’t help but admire him from the bottom of their hearts.
Zhaoke had to admit, if it had been him, he wouldn’t even know where to start.
“Captain Tang, I take back what I previously said to you, you truly deserve to be the captain, and you’re worthy of it.
Your medical skills truly exceed mine by far,” Zhaoke said.
Tangyu was slightly startled, not expecting Zhaoke, who always seemed to oppose him, to actively apologize and admit his mistake in front of everyone.
This was indeed rare.
After all, men love face, especially someone like Zhaoke who was very proud.
Apologizing face-to-face was very difficult to do, let alone in front of so many people, and it was somewhat commendably respectful.
With a smile, Tangyu said, “It was just some small misunderstandings before, I never took it to heart.
Alright, let’s not mention this matter anymore, we’re a team.”
“Yes, we are a team,” Yu Zhaoke nodded, and everyone smiled, Yu Zhaoke became well integrated, which made the Traditional Chinese Medicine team seem even more unified.
Unity enhances cohesion.
“It’s hard to imagine if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would hardly believe it.
I’ve been studying medicine since I was young, and I come from a family well-versed in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Although I would not dare say my medical skills are excellent, at least I’ve been exposed to numerous Ancient Medical Arts since childhood, and my knowledge is fairly considerable.
But I’ve never witnessed such miraculous surgery.
Initially, I thought we were definitely going to lose the first match, which clearly seemed to be deliberately planned by the Western medicine team to intimidate and dampen our spirits by choosing our weakest point for the exchange.
Yet, unexpectedly, Tangyu, you created a miracle, and the victory ultimately…
was ours, which was incredibly satisfying.
Hearing so many people cheer for us on-site was truly gratifying.
Haha, I dare say, this is probably spreading like wildfire online right now,” said Yu Zhaoke.
“Truly satisfying, this incident will definitely cause a stir online.
Traditional Chinese Medicine has shown the world a new facade, undeniably a miracle,” agreed Shi Naixin, nodding heads.
Success brings not just joy; it greatly boosts morale.
Morale is something money cannot buy.
Tangyu smiled lightly and said, “This isn’t a miracle; it’s just a small matter.
If you felt it was a miracle, incredible, it’s simply because your understanding of Traditional Chinese Medicine is far too little.
Traditional Chinese Medicine is profound and full of wonders.
Even I can only claim to have scratched the surface, and there’s much more extensive territory I’m still exploring.
Moreover, this isn’t a victory I created; it’s everyone’s victory, our Traditional Chinese Medicine community’s victory.
Of course, saying victory might be a bit too much; it’s merely a beginning, a warm-up.
So let’s not get too excited.”
Yu Zhaoke’s eyes widened as he looked at Tangyu, obviously a bit shocked.
Tangyu continued, “I’m not joking with you all; what we know about Traditional Chinese Medicine is just a tiny part.
Its profundity is beyond our most extravagant imaginations.”
“Don’t be surprised; Tangyu is absolutely right.
What we know is really just a drop in the ocean.
Take the technique Tangyu just used, for example; I bet not only have you never seen it, I’m sure you’ve never even heard of it.
Not just you, even Chairman Bi and others definitely haven’t heard of it.
Your ignorance doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist,” Rao Yuanzhi also said.
Only then did everyone nod, Yu Zhaoke and a few others realizing just how vast the gap was between their medical skills and those of Tangyu and Rao Yuanzhi.
“Haha, let’s not talk about this anymore.
We kicked off with a victory, taking the lead, and thwarting the Western medicine team’s intentions.
They must be incredibly frustrated, and this outcome was surely beyond their expectations.
I wonder, what type of strategy do you think the Western medicine team will come up with for this afternoon’s exchange?
I feel like they’re going to pull out all the stops, especially since their advantage lies in the biomedical remedy they brought.
They showed us DHA5 yesterday, and I have a feeling they might use DHA5 to make a stand this afternoon, or else if they lose to us again, their morale will be severely dented.
What, why are you all looking at me like that?
Am I wrong?” Yu Zhaoke said.
Tangyu smiled and said, “You’re absolutely right; I too believe there’s a high likelihood that they’ll use DHA5 to compete with us.
Advanced liver cancer, huh?
Hmph.”
Seeing the confident and almost teasing smile on Tangyu’s face, Yu Zhaoke said, “You’re not saying you actually have confidence in curing advanced liver cancer, are you?”
“Why couldn’t I be confident?” Tangyu responded.
“Er…” Yu Zhaoke’s mouth twitched, and the others also looked at Tangyu, even Ye Mai gazing at him with a peculiar expression.
Only Bi Wanting’s eyes sparkled with excitement because her grandfather, Chairman Bi, was suffering from liver cancer.
If what Tangyu said was true, then her grandfather might also be saved.
“Not only can I do it, I believe Divine Needle Rao and Doctor Xiao can do it too; it’s really not that difficult.
It just seems a bit challenging for you,” Tangyu said.
“What?”
“This—”
The crowd looked at Divine Needle Rao and Doctor Xiao in surprise.
Tangyu’s medical skills were already proven in the morning.
Divine Needle Rao and Doctor Xiao had long been renowned and were said to have cured several complicated diseases; Divine Needle Rao had even cured cancer before, though it wasn’t specified if it was in the advanced stages, and liver cancer was notoriously more dreadful.
Thus, hearing this statement naturally shocked and awed them.
“Don’t praise me too much, brother Tangyu, I really don’t have that much confidence,” Rao Yuanzhi shook his head.
Tangyu said, “With Yuanzhen assisting you and Ye Mai preparing your medicines, I believe your confidence is still considerable.
Even if it’s not a hundred percent, I think seventy or eighty percent is still likely, right?”
Doctor Xiao did not speak, her silence implying acquiescence.
Yu Zhaoke and the others inhaled sharply, momentarily feeling proud as each of them could be considered a genuine prodigy, an elite within the Traditional Chinese Medicine community.
However, compared to Tangyu, Divine Needle Rao, and Doctor Xiao, they paled significantly, and this brought a substantial reality check for them.
“Alright, everyone, don’t feel down.
Actually, this is quite normal; there are some things I can’t quite disclose now.
If you understand later, you will surely come to terms with it.
Right now, we are a team, we need everyone’s cooperation, and we depend on everyone’s exquisite medical skills.
This time, our adversaries are formidable; although we are confident, we absolutely cannot be complacent.
This afternoon’s exchange will be more challenging.
Let’s go for it,” Tangyu said.
“Let’s go; victory is ours!”
