“Hi, Mr . Zhao, I am a reporter from Ark Entertainment . As the person in charge of Shengzeyuan, do you have any explanation for this lady’s allergy?”
“Mr . Zhao, I am a reporter from Yan Jing Daily . I would like to ask if this lady got a food allergy or food poisoning . ”
In the Pavilion of Spring and Autumn, Yue Tingting, whose face had come out in a rash, covered her face and wept . The severe itch from the bone marrow made her keep scratching her face .
Cornered and asked all kinds of tricky questions by the reporters, Zhao Zifeng felt like weeping but had no tears . He secretly cursed that this woman could just spoil everything so that she was caught in her own trap .
Most of the reporters were asked to come here by him . Nevertheless, many of them came here on their own initiative, and they didn’t know about Zhao Zifeng’s identity and thought he was simply the boss of Shengzeyuan .
The animated discussion of the competition between the Little King of Needles and the Little Miracle-working Doctor had made them flock here in excitement like sharks after the smell of blood . However, it hadn’t begun up to now, so they got mad .
Thieves never left empty-handed, so did the reporters . They were certainly unwilling to come here for nothing . At the sight of what happened on Yue Tingting at this moment, they felt their eyes brightened and would never let it go .
With a surge of great fury in his heart, Zhao Zifeng felt as if lifting a rock and dropping it on his own feet and wished he could slap the idiot Yue Tingting . However, for the sake of Shengzeyuan’s business, at this moment he could only suppress the anger rising in his heart, force a stiff smile and say with a sudden inspiration .
“Ladies and gentlemen, please calm down . This lady didn’t get an allergy because of the dishes of our Shengzeyuan . In fact, she is a volunteer . ”
“Volunteer? What does that mean?”
“Mr . Zhao, please explain what does she volunteer for?”
It created a real buzz amongst the reporters . They almost put the microphones in Zhao Zifeng’s mouth and kept asking .
Zhao Zifeng felt complacent . After calming them with a cough, he pretended to be mysterious and said, “Why do you come here tonight?”
In an instant, the reporters’ eyes lit up . A smart reporter replied, “Does this lady volunteer for the medical competition between Little King of Needles and Little Miracle-working Doctor?”
“Bingo, correct answer!”
Zhao Zifeng snapped his fingers, said with a pretentious smile and then turned and asked Yue Tingting, “Miss, am I right?”

“Yes, I… I’m a volunteer . Treat me quickly . It… it’s itchy . ”
Yue Tingting covered her face and said with grievance . She really wanted to avoid having her face in a rash being photographed by the reporters . However, she couldn’t help keeping scratching her face with her hands due to the severe itch, and had left some bloodstains on her face .
Xiao Yan stood aside . Glancing at Yue Tingting’s horrible face and Zhao Zifeng’s complacent face in the spotlight, she suddenly felt a burst of strong chill in her heart . How merciless should this man be so that he could laugh at this moment? Anyway Yue Tingting could be considered his girlfriend .
“Wow, you are really a volunteer . Miss, you are so dedicated . ”
“Miss, I would like to ask if you are more optimistic about Little King of Needles or Little Miracle-working Doctor . ”
“Miss, do you have any idea that being a volunteer will turn your face into this?”
“May I ask…”
… The reporters suddenly went buzzing again and began to interview Yue Tingting .
“Ladies and gentlemen, this lady is in great pain . Every doctor has a benevolent mind . I believe both Little King of Needles and Little Miracle-working Doctor can’t bear to see the patient suffering such pain . Let’s wait and see Little King of Needles or Little Miracle-working Doctor is superior in medical skills . ”
Zhao Zifeng shouted loudly with a big horn, and felt complacent in his heart . He didn’t expect that Yue Tingting could be so helpful . With these reporters around, he could definitely make Ding Ning make a move .
In the spotlight, he thought complacently that unexpectedly he actually had the potential to be a host .
If Ding Ning refused to treat Yue Tingting, everyone would consider that he had a lack of medical ethics . If he was forced to treat her but failed, it would be perfect .
If Yan Hao managed to cure Yue Tingting after Ding Ning’s failure, the result of the competition would be obvious . Ding Ning’s title Little Miracle-working Doctor would be questioned by everyone . When the time came, he could hire some Internet mercenaries to play it up and thus to achieve his initial purpose .
“This Zhao Zifeng is so despicable . I didn’t expect him to play this trick . ”
Hearing Zhao Zifeng shouting with a tweeter horn, Huzi immediately realized his malicious intention and beat the table violently .
Those who had flattered Ding Ning a moment ago stared worriedly at Ding Ning with their faces darkening . The powder was provided by Yan Xun, so Yan Hao definitely knew how to cure Yue Tingting . This competition was absolutely unfair .
Ding Ning put down his chopsticks and said with a light smile at the corners of his mouth, “It’s okay . Since he wants to make me compete with Little King of Needles, I’ll do as he wishes . ”
“Brother-in-law, it’s unfair . They collude with each other . ”

Li Zhe tried to talk him out of this anxiously .
“That’s true . Brother Ding, they are plotting against you . If you fail to cure her, your reputation will be ruined . ”
Wei Biaobiao had also lost his composure and said worriedly .
“Can you have a little faith in me? Such trifling gastrodia elata powder is not gonna get me down . ”
Ding Ning stood up and walked to the Pavilion of Spring and Autumn with great confidence in his words . He had diagnosed Yue Tingting’s problem through Magic Mosquito’s vision .
He thought that Yan Xun’s exclusive powder could be tricky, but unexpectedly it turned out to be gastrodia elata powder .
Gastrodia elata powder was a non-lethal but tormenting drug with no color and no odor . No matter which part of human or animal was exposed to it, it would penetrate the skin, gather on the face with the blood circulation and break out in a rash .
This kind of powder was usually used to interrogate prisoners in ancient times . Few people could bear the itch from the bones . Even if they could be treated in time, there would be pockmarks left on their faces . So it was known as gastrodia elata powder .
“Look, Little Miracle-working Doctor is here . Little Miracle-working Doctor is here . ”
“Gee, Little King of Needles is here too . ”
“Haha, we didn’t come here in vain . The fierce competition finally begins . ”
“I’m just wondering which one of them is better in medical skills . ”
“That goes without saying . It must be Little King of Needles . ”
“Don’t be so sure . Look, Little Miracle-working Doctor remains calm with complete confidence . ”
“Humph, it’s no use . Didn’t you see that King of Yan Needles has come to back Little King of Needles up?”
“King of Yan Needles’s showing up exactly indicates that Little King of Needles feels uncertain . ”
“Do you mean that if Little King of Needles fails, King of Yan Needles will participate in the competition personally?”
“Father and son should join a battle together . If Little King of Needles is defeated, King of Yan Needles will definitely want to win it back . ”

“Your words make me expect Little King of Needles to lose so that I can see King of Yan Needles display his medical kills . ”
At this moment, the Pavilion of Spring and Autumn had been closely surrounded . Watching Ding Ning and Yan Hao come separately, people immediately whispered to one another and discussed animatedly .
“Huh, you want to do it first or not?”
After feeling aggrieved overnight, Yan Hao finally got the opportunity to vent his grievance . He said to Ding Ning with a sneer .
“Suit yourself . You can do it first if you think you can cure her . ”
Ding Ning remained calm, and said naturally after walking up to Yue Tingting and taking a look at her .
“You should do it first, lest I should cure her with a shot and leave you no chance to take a shot . ”
Yan Hao said with overwhelming confidence .
With a light smile at the corners of his mouth, Ding Ning said, “You should do it first . As long as you can cure her, you win . ”
Yan Hao frowned, incapable of figuring out what was going on in Ding Ning’s mind . After thinking for a while, he thought that Ding Ning must be unable to cure her, so Ding Ning suggested that he should do it first . After he cured her, Ding Ning would avoid embarrassing himself by claiming to have no chance to take a shot . He sneered secretly in his heart . Ding Ning got a good idea . However, since he took a shot, he would definitely trample Ding Ning underfoot .
He said hypocritically at once, “Since you are a guest from afar, as a local, I should give precedence to you out of courtesy . So…”
“Stop talking nonsense . There’s no sense of making excuses . The patient is suffering now . A doctor should relieve the patient’s pain as soon as possible . Since you are incapable of curing her, I’ll do it . ”
Ding Ning interrupted him impatiently, and reached out to pull out the silver needles for disinfection .
“You…”
Yan Hao became speechless for a long while . Watching the onlookers’ scornful eyes, he got so furious that he almost spat up blood with his face blushing and darkening at the same time .
Ding Ning brought a doctor’s benevolence into full play and immediately gained the favor of the people present . Compared with Yan Hao who was wasting time by talking endlessly, Ding Ning instantly overwhelmed him in medical ethics .
The pleasure-seeker always expected a more significant scene, especially the reporters . Their professional sensitivity enabled them to capture this precious moment at once . With the ceaseless flashing light, Yan Hao’s ashen face was left on the films clearly . Yan Hao was completely defeated in the first round .
Yan Hao immediately realized it, watched Ding Ning treating the patient with needles with his gloomy eyes and secretly clenched his teeth and thought, “Only medical ethics mean nothing . Medical skills are of vital importance . I’m wondering how embarrassed you will be when you fail to cure Yue Tingting later . ”
Ding Ning would lose his spirits and admit that he couldn’t think of a way to cure Yue Tingting, and then he could take his shot and cure her under the eyes of everyone in minutes . At the thought of this kind of strong contrast, Yan Hao couldn’t help laughing out loud complacently .
“Why are you laughing? I have to question your medical ethics . The patient is in such pain, and you can still laugh out . Do you have any medical ethics?”
Ding Ning reproached him relentlessly, disregarding his face .
The reporters responded so quickly that they immediately turned their camera lenses to photograph Yan Hao’s stiff smile . Regarding which photo they should print on the front cover tomorrow, the reporters needed some time to consider it .
Ding Ning caused the fire and then left it aside . Ignoring Yan Hao’s murderous gaze, he had inserted seven silver needles in Yue Tingting’s body as the silver light flashed in his hand .
Yue Tingting’s miserable moans stopped abruptly . The severe itch to the marrow disappeared as the silver needles were inserted . Watching Ding Ning concentrating on twirling the silver needles for her treatment, she showed a trace of complex emotions in her eyes .
Every woman loved to be pretty . She was very disappointed with Zhao Zifeng now . She almost ruined her face by scratching it so hard due to the severe itch . However, Zhao Zifeng insisted carrying out his plan, made every attempt to force Ding Ning to take a shot, ignored her pain and made her admit that she was a volunteer .
Although she had never expected to be Zhao Zifeng’s wife, she had done hard work even if she didn’t make a contribution .
How many dirty things had she done for Zhao Zifeng in recent years? In order to draw other childes into his circle, she had to humble herself and sleep with those childes .
She thought that Zhao Zifeng still had some feelings for her, but today she had seen through him thoroughly . In Zhao Zifeng’s eyes, she was nothing more than a plaything and a tool with no dignity at all .
Yan Hao had slept with her, but turned a blind eye to her pain . He and Zhao Zifeng were simply of the same batch .
