Chapter 74: The Shame of Western Experts
When the motorcade that picked up Han Ankang arrived at the airport, the plane that had been waiting for a long time took off immediately and flew south towards Korea. The flight, which usually takes about two hours, arrived in just over an hour today. The fact that the passenger plane dared to fly at such a speed is enough to show how noble Park's family status is in South Korea.
If we're talking about the truly top-tier chaebol, the Park family might be the most powerful among the four families in South Korea. Compared to the Choi, Lee and Kim families, which are mostly known for their wealth and securing their status as aristocratic families in South Korea, the Park family should be considered the true top-tier chaebol of South Korea, due to its far-reaching influence in both the military and political circles of South Korea.
The current head of the Park family has been poisoned and his life is in danger, which is undoubtedly a great concern for the powerful people in South Korea's military and political circles. After all, this "head" of the Park family fell ill so suddenly and quickly that he didn't leave any will or arrangements behind, which is a huge regret and loss for the family successors and his loyal subordinates.
When the plane that brought Han Ankang appeared in South Korean airspace, two South Korean fighter jets directly escorted the plane to land at a military airport. As soon as Han Ankang got off the plane, he saw Park Bang-jeong, the eldest son of the Park family who had also been seen twice at Choi's house and was developing in the South Korean military, waiting at the gangway.
Seeing the anxious and grateful look on Park's face, Han Ankang didn't say much and quickly said: "General Park, take me to where Old Man Park is hospitalized! As long as I can save him, I will definitely do my best!"
Whether the old man's life can be saved now depends on the medical skills of this Chinese doctor. Pu Fangzheng saw Han Ankang so refreshing, and with a grateful heart, he didn't say much, leading Han Ankang to an armed helicopter waiting on the tarmac.
When Han Ankang boarded the military armed helicopter, he didn't look too surprised or excited. Instead, he immediately took out the medical examination report prepared by Park Fangzheng and carefully browsed through it.
For such a severe poisoning consequence to occur after being bitten by an insect, Han Ankang had also encountered it for the first time in his many years of practicing medicine. It was only when he saw that the experts who took blood samples from Park's body and analyzed the toxins found that there were even scorpion, snake, and centipede venom, all land-based poisonous insects' toxins, which was extremely strange.
To know from the feedback of Park's side, the wound seems to be in the neck area of the left shoulder, not the fingers and legs that most crawling creatures usually attack. This also means that the poisonous insect that bit Park's family head is probably not a common poisonous insect.
What surprised Han Ankang even more was that after the bodyguard realized that Mr. Park had been bitten by a poisonous insect, they searched the entire garden built in the courtyard but couldn't find any poisonous insects at all. It was as if the poisonous insect had appeared out of thin air to harm someone and then quickly disappeared. This made Han Ankang even more curious about where this poisonous insect came from!
Understand the medical skills for himself, it's hard to analyze what kind of poisonous insect this is and where it came from. Han Ankang quickly searched through the inherited memories of Daoyi's medical tradition, which had not been browsed in the section on toxic techniques.
After reading through the cases of doctors in ancient times using poisonous insects that could harm people but also save them, Han Ankang quickly found a case similar to Park Old's from an inconspicuous one.
In the medical case that Daoyi had diagnosed, Han Ankang discovered that the patient was poisoned by a poisonous moth called "Bai Du Fei Yan", which seemed to be not a natural congenital product, but rather a postnatal toxic insect that must be cultivated from the larval stage by specialized personnel, and only after thousands of generations of breeding and cultivation can it evolve into a poisonous insect.
This kind of insect cultivation similar to the Huaxia Miao family's insect cultivation, generally speaking, only those wicked and sinister poison doctors would go to great lengths to cultivate. With the help of these poisonous moths that love toxic substances, they can search for poisonous creatures all over the world, reducing the time it takes for poison doctors to hunt for poisonous materials for their cultivation. Of course, there is another use for this poisonous moth, once cultivated successfully, it can also be used for self-defense.
If the Park family's patriarch was indeed injured by this poisonous moth, it proves that within South Korea, either an ancient doctor who practices toxic medicine is hiding or a poisonous moth has somehow survived. However, according to Taoist medical records, although this poisonous moth lives longer than ordinary moths, few can live for more than ten years.
Unless it evolves into a Thousand Poison Butterfly after evolving from a Hundred Poison Butterfly, and can withstand the invasion of thousands of toxins to evolve into an even higher-level Thousand Poison Butterfly. Otherwise, ordinary Hundred Poison Butterflies have never been known to live beyond their ten-year lifespan. So, will this Patriarch Piao be poisoned by the Hundred Poison Butterfly, leading to his current critical condition?
Just as Han Ankang opened his eyes, he saw the expectant gaze on the face of Park Jung-bang, a South Korean Army general. With a calm expression, he comforted him: "General Park, don't worry, let's talk about everything after I've seen the old man." After reading the diagnosis book, I already have some ideas in my mind, but whether it is what I guessed or not, we still need to wait until I see the old man.
"If it's really the poisonous insect I suspected, Old Master won't have too much of a problem within three days. As long as the toxin hasn't reached his heart and he can temporarily regain consciousness for a while, my medical skills should still be effective. As for whether he can be cured in the end, that also depends on Old Master's luck - whether the poison he was afflicted with is one I'm skilled at treating."
Park Jung-bang heard this and knew that the young Chinese doctor was never ambiguous when it came to treating illnesses. If he had confidence in curing them, he would naturally tell them confidently that there was no problem. On the other hand, if he wasn't confident, he wouldn't deceive or lie to comfort the patient's family members.
In the roar of armed helicopters, Han Ankang soon appeared in a heavily guarded military camp surrounded by a team of elite soldiers. Seeing several familiar old men standing in front of the airport apron, they were about to come forward to talk when they saw him. As Han Ankang stepped off the plane, he went straight up and bowed: "Gentlemen, saving people is urgent, let's take a look at Mr. Piao's situation first, we'll catch up later!"
It's probably impossible to find a few people in the world who would dare to say such things to these elderly people, led by Cui Zhen Shan. As soon as Han Ankang got off the plane, he wanted to go see the condition of Park's family head, and he also knew that every second counted at this time. Of course, he wouldn't say much, and followed Han Ankang to this military hospital sealed off by the military.
The experts who were having a consultation for the Park family had known since early morning that a mysterious Chinese doctor would be coming today. However, when Han Ankang appeared in the ward, these elite experts invited by the Park family or other families couldn't help but reveal a few skeptical glances, thinking that this young Chinese doctor seemed even younger than their own sons. Could he really bring the Park family's patriarch back to life?
No matter how good Han Ankang's medical skills are, these experts also know that they are all invited by the Pu family or other families. The Chinese doctor in front of them is jointly recommended by several heads of South Korean families. So, no matter how strong the opponent is, they don't want to doubt Han Ankang's medical skills when they can't do anything about it themselves.
Arriving at the ward, looking at Park's old man who was already wearing an oxygen mask, his entire face was a dark purple color. Even ordinary people who know a little bit about medicine would know that he was poisoned. It's just that no one would have known that being bitten by an insect could produce so many and varied toxins, this is really a strange thing!
Put the medicine box aside, Han Ankang quickly lifted up the collar of Mr. Pu's clothes who was lying on the bed and unconscious. Looking at the triangular-shaped wound, Han Ankang's heart suddenly tightened. Because the shape of this wound is almost identical to the one left by the Centipede Bat's bite as recorded in the Daoist medical book.
After examining the wound, Han Ankang took hold of Mr. Park's arm again and quickly felt his pulse. He found that the toxin had already invaded the five internal organs and six hollow organs, making the situation extremely urgent. It seemed that this poisonous moth was at least in its mature stage, and the toxin would only spread so rapidly after biting a person.
Han Ankang turned back to look at Choi Jin-san and said with relief, "Choi, your call came just in time. If it had been a day later, Park's poison would have penetrated his five organs and six bowels, and even if I had come then, it would have been too late."
Choi Jin-san and others looked surprised and asked: "Xiao Han, can Park Dae-bang's illness be cured?"
In response to the elderly people's expectant gaze, Han Ankang paused for a moment before saying: "If you want to heal quickly, it might be a bit tricky, but spending some time should be okay! At least now that I'm here, temporarily controlling the spread of those toxins shouldn't be a problem. Also, as long as we analyze the hundred kinds of toxins contained in his body and slowly clean them out, it should be fine.
Forget it, I'll just take a needle first! If there's anything, let me finish the needle and wake up Pu Lao, we can talk about it later.
Several foreign doctors who couldn't understand the conversation between Han Ankang and the elderly people, heard that Han Ankang was confident of curing this extremely difficult and complex disease as soon as he arrived. They naturally felt it was unbelievable, but when they saw Han Ankang take out his ancient needle case, these Western doctors seemed to understand that China's acupuncture technique was indeed very magical.
Perhaps in their view, the extremely stubborn hundred-poison disease would be transformed from corrosion to magic in the hands of this young Eastern doctor. So, every foreign expert did not dare to speak loudly, and with careful eyes, they watched as Han Ankang slowly and cautiously inserted these silver needles into Pu Lao's five viscera and six bowels.
Even the oxygen mask that guaranteed Mr. Park's oxygen supply was removed by Han Ankang, and many silver needles were inserted into his face. For a while, the head of the Park family, who had been lying in bed with a dark face, now had at least hundreds of silver needles on his body. After the silver needles were inserted, Han Ankang lightly plucked a few of the needles on his head to awaken this old man who had passed out and never woke up again.
Soon, these foreign doctors saw that the critically ill patient, who had hardly shown any expression after they arrived here, actually started moving his eyes and quickly opened them. This magical Eastern acupuncture technique made these foreign doctors thoroughly ashamed of their earlier doubts about Han Ankang's medical skills because of his young age.
