Wang Xinyan was pleasantly surprised to suddenly encounter Lin Yi here, but under the current circumstances, that surprise quickly dissipated. Wang Xinyan didn't want Lin Yi to get involved in her affairs. Although she didn't know the identities of the man and woman, she could tell they were no ordinary people.
Wang Xinyan wasn't afraid of them; this wasn't her fault. Even if her father and grandfather found out, it wouldn't matter much. At worst, she would get scolded, but the issue could still be resolved. However, if Lin Yi got involved and they targeted him, it would be a different story.
Wang Xinyan was about to say something to Lin Yi when she saw him turn around.
Lin Yi nodded, knowing that he had already gotten himself into this trouble and needed to find a way to help Wang Xinyan get out of it. Although the man named Liu Tianyi seemed to understand the situation, the woman named Huiru was clinging to Wang Xinyan.
Lin Yi turned and glanced at the old man on the ground, who showed no signs of external injuries. There were also no obvious scratches on Wang Xinyan's car, which suggested that, as Wang Xinyan had said, she hadn't hit the old man; he had fallen on his own.
The old man's right hand was pressed against his chest, and he was lying in a strange position. After a quick look, Lin Yi deduced that the old man's condition was likely due to a heart problem, not a car accident. Wang Xinyan's car passing by was just a coincidence.
Lin Yi bent down and placed his hand on the old man's wrist.
"What are you doing? Don't touch him! Are you trying to kill my father?" Huiru, who had just calmed down, immediately became agitated again, lunging at Lin Yi with her arms flailing.
"Ischemia? Angina?" Lin Yi frowned and looked up.
"Huiru, stop it!" Liu Tianyi's eyes lit up when he heard Lin Yi's words. He pulled his wife aside, his face full of hope. He wasn't a fool; Lin Yi had diagnosed his father's condition just by feeling his pulse, so Liu Tianyi naturally assumed Lin Yi was a doctor. "Brother, are you a doctor?"
Lin Yi didn't directly answer Liu Tianyi's question. "Your father collapsed due to ischemia and angina, not because of her car."
"You're lying!" Huiru's face changed, and she pointed at Lin Yi, cursing.
"Fine, if I'm lying, then your father will just have to wait for the ambulance to die." Lin Yi shrugged and stood up. "If he dies, the forensic doctor will determine the cause, and it won't be my friend's fault."
"Slap!" Liu Tianyi slapped Huiru across the face. "Shut up, woman! If you hadn't been so busy putting on makeup before leaving, and had remembered to bring your father's medicine, would he be like this?"
"You... You dare to hit me?" Huiru's eyes were filled with disbelief. Her husband had been weak in front of her for most of their marriage, but today he had slapped her in public.
Liu Tianyi ignored his wife and turned to Lin Yi with a sincere look. "Brother, can you save my father? I know you can. Please, don't mind my wife's behavior. I beg you to help..."
Liu Tianyi wasn't rash. Although Lin Yi was young, he had accurately diagnosed his father's condition, which suggested he wasn't ordinary. With no emergency medication, it was uncertain whether his father could survive until the ambulance arrived. So Liu Tianyi decided to try his luck, hoping for a glimmer of hope.
Lin Yi looked at Liu Tianyi and found him to be sincere. The fact that he had slapped his wife also showed his resolve. Lin Yi slowly nodded. "I'll try."
If the old man died, it wouldn't be Wang Xinyan's fault, but the trouble from the woman would continue. To help Wang Xinyan get out of this mess, the old man needed to be saved.
Lin Yi squatted down and casually touched a few points on the old man's body, then began massaging around his heart. This technique of acupressure and massage was passed down from his master and could promote blood circulation, but he wasn't sure if it would work on the old man...
His master probably never imagined that the acupressure skills he taught would be used to save lives instead of to kill...
If he had some silver needles, it would be better. His master was a skilled doctor and had taught him acupuncture, but since Lin Yi's main job was to kill, not to save, he didn't carry any needles with him.
"Boy, your massage won't do much. The man is half-dead; he'll be gone before your massage takes effect." Suddenly, Jiao Yaizi's disdainful voice sounded in Lin Yi's ear.
"Jiao Laoshi, do you have a solution?" Lin Yi was immediately relieved. In fact, he was a bit nervous. Although his master's medical skills were excellent, many emergency treatments required silver needles, and the symptoms needed to be specific. If the old man had just fallen ill, Lin Yi would have been confident in saving him, but since he had been ill for some time, Lin Yi was trying his best.
"Hmph, did you waste ten years practicing the Xuan Yuan Zhan Long Jue?" Jiao Yaizi snorted. "Divert a small amount of the energy you've absorbed into the old man's heart muscle to restore and enhance blood supply, and it will improve his condition!"
"Directly inject energy?" Lin Yi was taken aback. He had never thought of this. He believed that the energy elements he absorbed were only useful to him because he practiced the Xuan Yuan Zhan Long Jue, and these elements were ineffective for others: "He hasn't practiced the Xuan Yuan Zhan Long Jue; will these energy elements work on him?"
Lin Yi knew that these energy elements could significantly enhance bodily functions, but would they work without the corresponding incantations?
"He hasn't practiced, so he can't absorb the energy elements himself, but he can receive them from you." Jiao Yaizi explained. "Boy, don't tell me you don't understand this simple principle?"
"Um..." Lin Yi's face turned red; he really didn't understand. His master didn't know the Xuan Yuan Zhan Long Jue, and Lin Yi had practiced alone, without anyone to discuss it with.
"On the old man's Dazhun point, run the incantation, and the energy elements will be automatically transmitted." Jiao Yaizi said. "If you don't want him to die, start now!"
"Yes!" Lin Yi's heart tightened, and he quickly followed Jiao Yaizi's instructions to rescue the old man. He was very familiar with the Dazhun point, having learned to identify acupoints under his master's guidance since childhood.
