Ning Tao replied lightly with a smile, “No, my patient never needs anesthesia for surgery.”

“Won't it hurt if I don't use anesthesia?”

Ning Tao picked up a Sacred Needles from the small medicine chest and stuck it in Hu Jilu's Baihui acupoint. A speck of extraordinary spiritual power entered Hu Jilu's brain at that moment. Hu Jilu closed his eyes with a slight jolt.

“It's just a minor operation. Why did you talk so much?”

Ning Tao removed Hu Jilu's pants, separated his hairy legs, and disinfected the area that was going to have the operation with iodine before starting the operation.

His procedure was different from that of the doctors in the hospital. He first sealed the patient's acupuncture points with his Sacred Needles and then heated the knife.

The purpose of sealing the acupuncture points with Sacred Needles was to reduce bleeding, which Ning Tao had learned early, so he was very familiar with it. The heating knife was more troublesome, and it was a method in the pre-school scalpel method, as well as the second step.

Ning Tao held the Blade of the Solar Eclipse in his right hand and kept pouring extraordinary spiritual power into the blade. The blade quivered slightly, and the blood-colored “satin” flowed like water as if it was alive and might fly away from Ning Tao's hand at any moment, and then turn a few somersaults in the sky before it flew away in a stream of light.

In the process, Ning Tao established a mysterious spiritual connection with the Blade of the Solar Eclipse. The knife in his hand was not only a knife, but a part of his body and soul, and he could control it as freely as his own arm.

Soon, the blade rose a little bit of dense red light, which was actually his blood.

Ning Tao focused and called softly, “Wake up!”

Black and white extraordinary spiritual power suddenly released from the blade shattered the blood. The blade was entangled with spiritual power, just like a substance! In particular, the wisp of mental energy was like the unique alloy cast in the blade. It looked as if it was so sharp that it could even break gold and jade!

At the point, the heating knife was done.

Ning Tao woke up the looking and smelling states of his eyes and nose. Hu Jilu's innate aura and all the smells his body released were under his control. Ning Tao could find all the diseased part of Hu Jilu's body.

After locking the focus of infection, Ning Tao picked up the knife and cut into the area. This knife was no longer the Blade of the Solar Eclipse, but a special spiritual blade, with a strong healing ability. As he did so, Hu Jilu's enlarged prostate was like a damaged ball. The swelling and inflammation went away.

Ning Tao only made one cut where the urethra was squeezed, and then he stopped. He wanted to use extraordinary spiritual power to heal Hu Jilu's wounds, but he gave up in the end. If Hu Jilu woke up after the operation and his scar was almost healed, G.o.d knew how many wild guesses he would have.

After withdrawing the knife, Ning Tao turned Hu Jilu over, ma.s.saged his waist with his hands, and used extraordinary spiritual power to give Hu Jilu's kidneys a quick anti-inflammatory.

A few minutes later, Ning Tao removed all the Sacred Needles from Hu Jilu's body. Hu Jilu woke up when the last needle was pulled from the Baihui acupoint.

“I…” Hu Jilu was dazed.

“The operation was a success,” Ning Tao said as he sorted through his medicine chest. “Your prostate and kidneys are fine, but you should abstain from s.e.x in a few days until the wound is fully healed. Now you can get up and put on your trousers.”

Hu Jilu tried to get up. He thought it was difficult, but he held the table with his hand and got up quickly. Then he saw the place where the operation had been done. The area had been covered with a medical cotton cloth. He felt a dull pain in the wound below, but it was not strong and could be tolerated.

“Is, is this over?” Surprised, Hu Jilu forgot to wear pants.

Ning Tao smiled and answered, “Like I said, it's just a minor operation. Well, I'll go and see if the policemen have found them.”

“I'll go with you.” Hu Jilu put on his pants and got off the table. He took two careful steps, and when he found that there was no problem, he went as usual. He put a bright smile on his face and flattered, “Doctor Ning, you really are a miracle doctor. I feel much better now. Thank G.o.d, I asked you to operate on me. If I had taken Chen Zhengyi's advice to have my prostate removed, I would have been an unfit man. I must regret it.”

Ning Tao smiled and accepted Hu Jilu's compliments and grat.i.tude. It was as light as a feather compared to what he had done for Hu Jilu.

Outside, they found several police officers waiting at the door.

“Mayor Hu, Doctor Ning, we have prepared the place, and the three men have been found. You…” The cop who ripped Ning Tao's s.h.i.+rt earlier said warily.

“What do you do in usual?” asked Ning Tao.

The cop replied, “We'll get nine more people and ask the 10 people to stand in a room and be identified by eyewitnesses.”

Ning Tao said, “Then get nine more people. If it's hard to find, you can have your own people in. I want them to identify me.”

“It…” The cop still didn't understand why Ning Tao was doing it.

Ning Tao gave Hu Jilu a look.

Hu Jilu snapped, “What? Is Doctor Ning not clear enough? Follow the procedure. We can't break the rules.”

“Got it. I'll arrange it.” The cop stopped speculating about Ning Tao's mind.

Over 10 minutes later, Ning Tao appeared in a room. The windows were cranberry gla.s.s, and the light was deliberately on. People standing in the room could only see their projection when looking at the window, while the scenery outside was a blur.

There were nine other people in the room, including cops in plain clothes, cleaners, and student volunteers.

Ning Tao stood in the crowd, not looking at the window, but looking down at his own feet. He was wearing the same torn T-s.h.i.+rt with a round collar. The T-s.h.i.+rt was only worth dozens of yuan. Therefore, he was not distressed.

Everything was ready for the witness.

In the hallway, several police officers accompanied Yang Hai, Liang Ting, and Tian Mengjiao to the room.

Yang Hai looked somber and nervous. Tian Mengjiao and Liang Ting, on the other hand, seemed excited and kept talking.

“What goes around, comes around. That pervert deserves it!” There was a note of pleasure in Tian Mengjiao's voice as if she had avenged his husband. Although she slept with Shen Jun several times and was dumped, she blamed Ning Tao for Shen Jun's abandonment of her. If Ning Tao didn't embarra.s.s Shen Jun that night, how could Shen Jun break up with her?

Liang Ting glanced out of the corner of her eye at the policeman walking beside her and raised her voice deliberately. “Mengjiao, we did see Ning Tao with Zhou Ying last night, didn't we?”

Tian Mengjiao paused, and then nodded her head. “Yes, I saw him take Zhou Ying away in his electric car.”

When they came to the room, one of the policemen said, “They're in the room. You must look carefully and identify him.”

“No problem,” Liang Ting replied.

Tian Mengjiao said, “I can recognize him immediately. We won't go wrong.”

Then the people standing beside the windows got out of the way, including Hu Jilu and Austin. They looked at Liang Ting, Tian Mengjiao, and Yang Hai with a slight sharpness.

Yang Hai eluded Hu Jilu and Austin's eyes. He seemed to feel something, and beads of sweat crept upon his forehead.

Tian Mengjiao and Liang Ting were delighted when they saw Ning Tao through the window.

“He must be under arrest. Look, his T-s.h.i.+rt is torn,” Tian Mengjiao said.

Liang Ting said, “I didn't expect that he could do such a crazy thing. It's a good thing he was caught, or the pervert would have gone out to harm others!”

Some people lied so much that they believed it to be true.

“Officer, we'll identify him. You have to keep our secret. I'm afraid he'll hurt us.” Tian Mengjiao spoke to the cop in charge of identification.

The cop said, “He can't. If he is the murderer, he will never get out. What are you worried about?”

“There's no doubt that he did it. I saw him take Zhou Ying. He is usually abnormal and violent. He definitely hurt Zhou Ying.”

A nearby cop wrote down Tian Mengjiao's words with a pen. Above him, a surveillance camera was working.

“Which one of you will identify first?” Austin asked.

“I'll go first.” Tian Mengjiao went to the window, took a look, raised her hand to point at Ning Tao and said, “That's him, he took Zhou Ying.”

Liang Ting also went to the window, pretended to check, and raised her hand to point at Ning Tao. “It's him. Yes, it's him.”

The cop in charge of identification looked at Yang Hai and said, “You go and identify.”

Yang Hai said, “No, no, no, I didn't see it. I don't know anything.”

The cop in charge of identification stared at Yang Hai and asked, “Are you sure you didn't see anything?”

Yang Hai shook his head and insisted, “I'm sure I didn't see anything. I was on duty at the hospital last night, and my colleague can testify.”

The identification cop glanced at Hu Jilu and Austin, who were standing nearby.

Austin said, “Well, it's pretty clear. Arrest them and take them away.”

Two cops suddenly stepped forward, one grabbing Tian Mengjiao's hand, the other Liang Ting's. The next second, two handcuffs landed on the wrists of two girls.

“What, what are you doing?” Tian Mengjiao suddenly tensed up, the blood draining out of her face as quickly as the ebb of the tide.

Liang Ting was scared, too. “Are you, are you wrong? We are not criminals. What do you arrest us for? Let me go, or I'll expose you!”

Austin snarled, “Be quiet, both of you! Do you know what your crime is? You're framing him. If the circ.u.mstances are serious, you may be convicted of false accusation and murder!”

Tian Mengjiao and Liang Ting went blank, their heads buzzing.
