“You, Qin! You ruined my dad’s leg! Pay us 200,000 today, or I’ll smash up your hospital!” The tattooed man grabbed a chair and hurled it at the treatment table. A jar of Chinese medicine smashed to pieces with a crash.
Half an hour earlier, the old man had insisted that Western painkillers didn’t work and stubbornly demanded acupuncture. Now, after the treatment, he was yelling that his leg hurt.
“Pay up, or I’ll call the cops and have you arrested!” The tattooed man’s fist grazed his nose before slamming into the wall.

Qin Mo dusted off his trouser leg and stood up. His carefree smile held a touch of coldness. “Call the cops? Sure. But once they get here, they might have to take your dad to the ICU first.” He picked up a three-edged needle from the table. “Trust me and I’ll give him one jab. If you don’t, take him away now. If that clot reaches his heart…”
Qin Mo seized the old man’s leg and drove the silver needle precisely into the Weizhong acupoint. A bead of dark purple blood spurted out with a hiss.
Three seconds later, the old man suddenly sat bolt upright. “My leg doesn’t hurt anymore!”
Qin Mo twirled the needle in his hand. “Witchcraft? It’s bloodletting therapy. It’s written in the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon.”
