After taking care of everything, Li Dali called Chen Zheng again and briefly explained the situation. He said that, under the circumstances, he probably wouldn't be back tonight and told Chen Zheng to take care of himself. After all, the trouble with the Earth Demon was causing a massive uproar, and he couldn't help but worry about his parents who were still at home.

Before long, the hospital dispatched a vehicle and medical staff to provide emergency treatment for Wang Rui's father.

"This is bad, Director! The patient's heart has suddenly stopped!" a nurse in charge of the rescue suddenly cried out at that moment.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Wang Rui pleaded frantically by his side, extremely panicked. "Please don't scare me!"

She had never imagined her father's condition could be so serious. His heart had already stopped beating just as the medical team arrived.

The nearby medical staff immediately began administering aid, continuously compressing his chest in an attempt to restart his heart. They pressed so hard it felt like his bones might break, but they finally managed to restore his heartbeat. However, his breathing was still extremely labored, and his condition looked incredibly critical.

"Dali..." Wang Rui was so anxious she was trembling, her thoughts in a complete jumble. "I'm begging you! I don't want any of the betrothal money! Just please, save my dad!"

Li Dali's face was etched with bitterness. At a time like this, what good would it do to beg him? He wasn't a doctor.

"Old Squad Leader, what's going on here?" Just then, an exceptionally tall figure appeared outside. It was none other than Chen Zheng.

When he had received the panicked call from Li Dali earlier, the situation had sounded urgent. He'd locked up his house and rushed over immediately.

"Chen Zheng, what are you doing here?" Li Dali sighed, looking incredibly tense.

He had no idea why his future father-in-law had suddenly taken such a turn. The wedding is tomorrow. If something goes wrong now, this joyous occasion will turn into a disaster!

"Don't be so nervous. Your father-in-law just has a common lung disease. It's nothing fatal," Chen Zheng explained casually.

In fact, Chen Zheng had known there was something wrong with the man from the first moment he saw him. But since the family had been so hostile, he couldn't be bothered to get involved.

The middle-aged doctor glared at him. "Young man, if you don't know what you're talking about, then keep your mouth shut! The patient's heart already stopped, yet you're saying it's nothing and he won't die?"

Good grief, the doctor thought. The situation is this severe, and he's speaking so casually. This kid has no idea how serious this is!

However, the doctor wasn't in the mood to argue with him. He turned and ordered his staff, "The patient is likely suffering from an acute myocardial infarction. Administer nitroglycerin and quick-acting heart-saving pills, now!"

"Absolutely not!" Chen Zheng slowly shook his head. "The patient has a lung condition. If you administer the wrong medication, you'll cause a major problem!"

"Young man, if you don't know anything, then stop spouting nonsense!" the middle-aged doctor exclaimed hurriedly. "The patient has an arrhythmia! That's a classic symptom of a myocardial infarction. What does that have to do with his lungs?"

"I'm telling you, it does!"

The middle-aged doctor was stunned. Good grief, where did this lunatic come from? Am I the doctor here, or is he? How dare he question my diagnosis?

"His symptoms are very similar to a heart attack, but the root cause is in his lungs. Your diagnosis was too hasty," Chen Zheng said calmly.

"Hasty...?" The middle-aged doctor snorted. "Fine. We'll see who was being hasty after we get him to the hospital and run some tests!"

"We can't, Director! I'm afraid he won't make it to the hospital!" one of the medics performing the rescue suddenly shouted.

Just then, Wang Rui's father was on the verge of losing consciousness. His heart rate and other vital signs were plummeting.

"Everyone, step aside." Deciding it was time to act, Chen Zheng strode forward. He pulled a large, thick needle from the nurse's bag and held it up.

"What do you think you're doing?" the middle-aged doctor shrieked. "If anything happens to the patient, you will be held responsible!"

"Stop right there!" Wang Rui rushed forward and grabbed Chen Zheng. "What are you doing? I'm warning you... you're murdering my father!"

"If you don't want your father to die on the spot, then let go," Chen Zheng said, his gaze icy.

If it weren't for the Old Squad Leader's sake, he wouldn't even bother with this mess.

Wang Rui started to say something more, but Li Dali pulled her aside. He didn't know what Chen Zheng was planning to do, but he trusted implicitly that Chen Zheng had his reasons.

Chen Zheng wasted no more words. He plunged the needle into the right side of Wang Rui's father's chest. Instantly, the man shot up into a sitting position, his eyes wide as he gasped desperately for air. Not only that, but the color returned to his face almost immediately.

Everyone stared, completely stunned by the scene.

To think it really was a problem with his lungs! All the doctors present had the relevant medical training. They knew that making such a diagnosis without scientific instruments was incredibly difficult, if not impossible, based on clinical observation alone. Yet this young man had made the correct diagnosis after only a few glances. He had pinpointed the exact location of the lesion and released the excess air trapped in the man's chest.

It was simply astonishing!

"Dad? How are you feeling?" Wang Rui rushed over to him, her face etched with anxiety.

"Much better..."

Wang Rui's father clutched his chest. "That really scared me to death just now."

"You have a history of allergic asthma, don't you?" Chen Zheng asked calmly.

Wang Rui's father nodded. "That was many years ago. I thought I'd recovered, but I guess it never truly went away."

"Alright, but even so, your father's condition is still critical. He needs to go to the hospital for further treatment!" the middle-aged doctor announced immediately, his expression solemn.

The group quickly followed the ambulance to the hospital, where Wang Rui's father was immediately admitted to a ward.

Only then did Li Dali finally let out a long sigh of relief. He patted Chen Zheng on the shoulder. "Good man..."

"I really didn't expect this. After all these years, you show up and save a life!"

"Something I learned in the army. I just got lucky today," Chen Zheng said, slowly shaking his head without offering any further explanation.
