Gu Wanqing returns to the Gu family and prepares a courtyard, while reminiscing about her lost elder brother and anticipating her second brother's return. Meanwhile, on the train, Xinyan and her family are traveling, but an emergency erupts when a passenger in the next compartment falls gravely ill. Despite the protests of a woman and man claiming to be doctors, Xinyan steps forward to offer her medical expertise.

Xinyan had no moment to spare for pleasantries; the patient was in critical condition, and a delay in treatment could lead to dire consequences.

She turned to the man standing nearby and stated, "The patient's condition is extremely serious. Any further delay could be life-threatening."

Upon hearing this, the man, his gaze fixed on the patient's face, questioned, "Are you certain about this?"

A touch of urgency colored Xinyan's response, "We cannot afford to wait any longer. If you wish to save his life, you must follow my instructions immediately. Do you possess a superior alternative at this moment?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than the woman who had spoken earlier interjected, "Aren't you being reckless with his life?"

Finding the woman's words irritating, Xinyan commanded, "Er Jiu, escort her away."

As Gu Yize approached, the woman hastily moved aside, a flicker of fear in her eyes, mumbling, "Fine, I won't say another word."

Gu Yize, concerned she might disrupt the critical moment for his niece, directly guided her into another compartment, blocking her path.

The woman finally fell silent.

Xinyan, unwilling to waste any more time, instructed the man standing by, "Unbutton his shirt, quickly."

The man's hands trembled so excessively that Xinyan couldn't bear to watch, remarking, "I truly don't know if you're intentionally prolonging this."

With that said, she abruptly tore open the shirt and commenced acupuncture. The sheer speed of her needling technique left the onlookers' eyes struggling to keep up.

Subsequently, she performed bloodletting on the patient's earlobes and fingertips, and a slight improvement in the patient's complexion was finally evident.

After a short while, the patient's eyes slowly fluttered open.

One of the onlookers, possessing a keen eye, exclaimed, "He's conscious! He's awake! This young lady truly possesses medical skills."

The man whose shirt Xinyan had opened stepped forward, his voice laced with concern, "Mr. Ye, how are you feeling?"

The person addressed as Mr. Ye, without looking at him, instead raised his gaze to meet Xinyan's, asking, "Did you save me?"

Xinyan inclined her head slightly, inquiring, "Sir, how do you feel now?"

Mr. Ye gave a gentle nod. "Much better, thank you."

Earlier, though unable to open his eyes, he had been privy to their conversation. The individuals beside him were distant relations of his current wife.

Before returning to the country, his sole focus had been locating the son left by his ex-wife, and he had harbored no doubts about his current wife. However, in this life-or-death crisis, his thoughts had turned toward many things, leading to a deeper understanding.

Observing that Mr. Ye was recovering, Xinyan advised, "Mr. Ye, you must avoid overexertion, and it's essential to visit the hospital for a check-up after disembarking."

Having delivered her advice, she carefully collected all her needles.

A wry smile touched Mr. Ye's lips. "I understand."

Reaching into his pocket, he retrieved a business card and, with some effort, handed it to Xinyan. "This bears my contact details. Should you require anything in the future, you can reach me at Wande Company."

His initial intention had been to have Xiao Liu offer the young lady some money, but for reasons unknown, his mind changed at the last moment. He held a certain appreciation for her capable handling of the situation.

Xinyan accepted the card without much thought, offered a nod to the elder gentleman, and departed.

After Xinyan had left, Mr. Ye instructed softly, "Xiao Liu, discreetly investigate this young lady's background. Once we disembark, prepare a substantial gift to express our gratitude."

Xiao Liu, not privy to Old Ye's shifting sentiments, replied, "Understood, I will make inquiries shortly. Mr. Ye, why did you give her your business card? What if she discovers your identity and seeks to benefit from it?"

Mr. Ye closed his eyes, his voice calm. "Do not harbor such low opinions of people. We will proceed directly to the First People's Hospital after disembarking."

Xiao Liu wished to voice further concerns, but upon seeing the old man's eyes closed, he dared not speak further, though a sense of unease lingered in his heart.
