don’t feel comfortable staying in a hospital," Xiao Yu quickly said as he saw Wei Jun leaving.Xiao Yu had been learning medicine from his maternal grandfather since childhood. Although he hadn't treat...Chapter 290: Setting the Bone

"It's nothing serious, just a dislocated joint. Once we set it back in place, they'll be fine!" After each of these doctors examined the X-rays and saw that their bones weren't fractured or injured but merely dislocated, they couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Secretly rejoicing inside, these doctors recognized this as an excellent opportunity to establish connections with them. Although these people were only guards, once they arrived at the location, their authority would be surprisingly substantial.

Holding the X-rays in hand, each doctor compared it with their arms and started to set the joints back in place. As shown on the film, merely the bones had dislocated from the shoulders; any orthopedic surgeon could treat such an injury easily, not to mention them.

"Ah... Ah..."

As these doctors grabbed the guards' arms and tried to push them back into place, they found themselves unable to do so regardless of how hard they pushed. With each attempt, the guards let out a blood-curdling scream.

Luckily, the door was closed, and their location was far from the leader's ward. The leader currently needed quiet; he mustn't be startled or else who knew what might happen when these guards screamed

At this moment, upon hearing the guards' screams, sweat began to bead on the foreheads of these orthopedic doctors. Each time a guard cried out in pain, their hands would involuntarily tremble.

"Can you guys do it"

The guards shouted at them when they found themselves unable to set the joints back no matter how hard they tried.

"Sorry, sorry, everyone. We might be unable to help; we just can't put this arm back!" Upon hearing the guards' cries, these doctors' hands trembled and let go of their arms as they wiped their sweat off their foreheads and secretly glanced at them.

Afterward, they cautiously picked up the X-rays again to take a closer look.

"Wait. Let's take some more shots!" This doctor suddenly frowned while looking at the film and said.

In this latest set of films taken from various angles, he had noticed an unnatural trace in one guard's dislocated shoulder area. The previous orthopedic doctor only took a frontal image to showcase his skills when dealing with these guards before.

At this moment, he realized that no matter what, the injury could not be properly set. So he picked up the X-rays again and noticed something amiss.

"Director, here are the X-rays!" Shortly after, a doctor in his thirties handed over some X-rays to a doctor in his fifties.

The fifty-something-year-old doctor took the X-rays. These X-rays were taken from various angles and showed the injury very clearly. As this doctor looked at them more closely, his brows furrowed deeper because their arms had not fallen normally, and there was a significant displacement that made it difficult to set properly.

This fifty-something-year-old orthopedic chief had been practicing medicine for many years. Although he studied Western Medicine, his extensive experience wasn't wasted; he immediately identified the issue at hand.

Having treated bones throughout the years, he had heard about certain special techniques for setting fractures but never seen them in practice until now. Upon seeing these X-rays of the guards' arms, it suddenly dawned on him that they were injured by a unique technique.

"Ah... leaders, your arms have been injured through a particular technique. I'm afraid we can't fix this here! If you want to get better, you need to find an expert in traditional Chinese bone-setting."

Letting out a sigh and setting down the X-rays, he told the guards.

This fifty-something-year-old doctor had only heard about such injuries and never seen them firsthand. The techniques used for treating these types of fractures were usually kept secret within traditional Chinese medicine families; thus, most people wouldn't know how to handle them.

Should he treat the injury himself, he could use surgery but didn't dare mention it to the guards.

Hearing this doctor's words, the guards were stunned. They knew some special techniques themselves and were not unfamiliar with them. However, they felt that their injuries, though painful, did not match anything from what they knew about such techniques and thus hadn't thought of it in this way before.

Only now did they recall that indeed, the pain was different from any previous dislocations; even being dislocated by a technique would be less painful than their current situation.

"Is there any good traditional Chinese medicine doctor specializing in bone injuries here"

Wang Biao thought for a moment and asked this fifty-something-year-old orthopedic specialist. Wang Biao and his team knew that when it came to setting bones, traditional Chinese medicine was best, so they began inquiring about an expert in the field.

"Hmm... There is one. He's said to be a master of bone-setting here named Zhou Rulong; he's incredibly skilled at this. I once observed him set bones and found his technique to be extraordinary—he doesn't even need X-rays, just by touching he can ascertain the condition of the fracture!"

The orthopedic chief thought for a moment before telling them about it.

When he first heard about this bone-setting master, the chief was quite skeptical. In his mind, he himself was the best orthopedist in the city; thus, secretly observing this other doctor's clinic.

When he arrived at the clinic, this bone-setting expert was treating a patient with a fracture. The expert merely touched the injured area lightly and then adjusted his hands; there was a "crack" sound as the bones were set back into place. He then instructed an assistant to apply a plaster cast.

Seeing this, he stepped out of the clinic and waited outside until the patient had left. Then he took the patient to a hospital for an X-ray. Upon seeing that the bone was perfectly aligned in the film, he could not help but admire the expert's skill.

"Then help us contact this bone-setting master so that he can come over and have a look."

Wang Biao said this to the doctor after hearing what he had to say. It was clear to him that traditional Chinese orthopedic doctors were more skilled at setting bones.

"Captain Zhao, arrange personnel for security duty!"

The head of the Orthopedics Department, in his fifties, was speaking with some guards when a commotion suddenly broke out outside.

"Yes sir."

Another voice responded as quiet instructions began to be issued.

Hearing this sound, Wang Biao glanced at the other security personnel and said, "Let's go see what's going on!" He walked out warily after saying that.

Although they knew that it was likely a reinforcement unit sent by the People's Armed Police, they remained cautious to avoid any unexpected problems.

When Wang Biao and his men stepped out of the room, they saw over ten armed police soldiers standing at the elevator entrance. The leader, who had short hair, was facing away from them.

After hearing some commotion behind him, he turned around to face the guards.

The moment they saw this man's appearance, they were taken aback for a second before breaking into joyous smiles.

This bald man was none other than Zhang Dahan. After receiving their call for help, Zhang Dahan had personally led his troops here since the old commander-in-chief was an accomplished war hero.

The guards all knew Zhang Dahan and his men as well. They had accompanied the old commander-in-chief to the cafeteria before, so they were familiar with Zhang Dahan. Upon seeing his military uniform and shoulder insignia, they realized he was a leader of the People's Armed Police. Although they hadn't spoken much, it still brought them joy to see someone they knew.

Moreover, they were well aware of the depth of intrigue at the cafeteria; even their old commander-in-chief treated it with utmost respect.

"Hello Captain Zhang, we are guards of Marshal Huang. We were attacked and injured, so we asked for support from the People's Armed Police Force. We hope that Captain Zhang can help us temporarily take over Marshal Huang’s guard duties!"

Wang Biao walked up to Zhang Dahai and saluted him.

"Rest assured, our People's Armed Police Force will ensure Marshal Huang’s safety!" Zhang Dahai returned the salute and said.

Zhang Dahai didn’t know these guards well, but he had seen them before. He knew that they were all Central Guard Bureau guardsmen with a nickname in civilian circles: Forbidden City bodyguards.

When Zhang Dahai received the call, he was confused as to why these guards who considered themselves so highly would ask for help from local forces

Seeing their appearance, Zhang Dahai immediately understood. Except for Wang Biao who had saluted him, it seemed that everyone else had been wiped out.

"Are Marshal Huang and you okay" Zhang Dahai looked at them and asked.

The guards felt a wave of heat rise to their faces upon hearing this question from Zhang Dahai. They wished they could just disappear into the ground.

"Marshal is fine!" Wang Biao’s face was burning but he still replied.

"Report, Captain! All personnel are in position and waiting for your instructions!" At this moment, Guard Company Commander Zhao Bin walked over to Zhang Dahai and saluted him.

“Mm-hmm. Be vigilant! Also, you should hand over the guard duties with these comrades and ensure the safety of Marshal Huang during his stay in deep sea!”

Zhang Dahai nodded and instructed Zhao Bin.

Zhang Dahai could tell from their appearance that they couldn’t handle this task right now. He knew that he had to rely on Zhao Bin's team for the time being.

When Zhao Bin heard Zhang Dahai’s instructions, he looked at these guardsmen with a sideways glance and a faint smile appeared on his face. After more than ten years in the army, Zhao Bin was well aware of the attitude held by these Forbidden City bodyguards towards local forces. Seeing their current situation, it made him feel quite smug.

The smug expression on Zhao Bin’s face looked like a mocking smile to them. Upon seeing this smile, they wished that they were dead. When had they ever asked for help from or relied on local forces before But there was nothing else they could do!

"All of this is because of that doctor! In the future, don’t let us catch you, otherwise... heh heh..." Looking at Zhao Bin’s mocking smile, all the guardsmen lowered their heads in anger and resentment.
