I insist

Chapter 99: The Old Man Inquiring About the Technique

"You'd better not act rashly."

"What do you mean? You think I can't even save someone who has fallen into the water?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Huailin simply turned away indifferently and sat down in a seat to the side.

A short while later, the boat stopped near the average person's location.

But before Song Miqiu could disembark, he heard someone shouting that someone had died.

Thinking of that similar face, she rushed into the crowd, but paused for a moment when she saw that face.

But in the end, she squatted down and placed her hand on the man's chest.

Yu Huailin, who was standing to the side, felt somewhat displeased by this scene, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he crossed his arms and looked at the other person with a cold gaze.

Since Song Miqiu was certain she couldn't hear the other person's heartbeat, she could only use a method she had learned before: she put her hands together and pressed down hard.

But there was still no reaction, which made her a little worried, so she couldn't help but circulate her internal energy and increase the force again.

One cough, two coughs—just as Song Miqiu's arm was about to give out, the man finally spat out a mouthful of water and coughed twice.

"What's wrong with me? Why are you saving me?"

Upon hearing the question, everyone around looked incredulous and was about to ask what to do when they heard a commotion from the other side.

"He just fell into the water and needs to see a doctor. Please take him there."

Song Miqiu glanced at the people around him, confirming that they were all in the same boat, and immediately gave an order.

Then, as if remembering something, he reached out and pushed aside the messy hair on the other person's face. Upon seeing the face clearly, he instantly lost interest.

"Let's go."

"Please wait here!"

Before Song Miqiu could even leave the crowd, a man dressed as a servant rushed over.

He habitually glanced at Yu Huailin, making sure there was no danger and that he wasn't one of the Crown Prince's men, before stopping to look at him.

"what's up?"

“My husband was very interested in your special rescue techniques. I wonder if we could go up and talk about it?”

Upon hearing this, Song Miqiu looked up and saw an old man from the third floor of the cruise ship nodding to the people below.

Seeing some movement over there, after a moment's thought, he nodded slightly and followed the people straight up.

When the two met, the old man was not polite at all and directly asked Song Miqiu about the principle behind his action of taking the food.

"You must know something to be asking these questions, why don't you share your thoughts first?"

"If I knew, why would I have invited you up here to discuss this? Is there some secret technique that I can't let outsiders know?"

How could that be?

Song Miqiu glanced at the other party to make sure there were no problems, then smiled slightly, raised her hand, crumpled the cloth next to her into a ball, placed it underneath, and pressed it down firmly.

"Can you understand it if you look at it this way?"

"You mean you forced all the water that had been injected into his body out? But that person had no pulse, so how did he recover?"

She didn't really understand this either, but she could roughly tell that the pulse was also a heartbeat, so she loosened the cloth and placed it on her chest.

"It's like the heart. If you apply external force and press it several times, and if the pause is not long, it can naturally be saved."

"That's truly amazing, but can this kind of medical technique really work?"

Song Miqiu smiled without saying a word, then turned to look at the young master who was still standing not far away.

Understanding her meaning, the old man said nothing more, then lowered his eyes and gently stroked the beads on his arm with his fingers.

Looking at the color and patina, it's clear that this person has been handling it for a long time.

Noticing Song Miqiu's gaze, the old man didn't hesitate to hand the item directly to her.

“I like it. This is also my favorite thing. I finally managed to collect a bunch of them a few years ago in the black market.”

"Black Street? It seems you still have quite a few things on your hands."

In response to Song Miqiu's words, the other party simply chuckled and then turned his gaze to the jade pendant that Yu Huailin had just acquired, which was hanging on his waist.

"Your item is not bad either, but it's a pity that it has some cracks, which affects the main topic."

The two looked in the direction he pointed and found that there was indeed a small crack on it, and they couldn't help but nod.

For the rest of the time, Song Miqiu listened to the old man talk about his own body, his brows sometimes furrowing and sometimes relaxing, absorbing everything the old man said.

"I have benefited greatly from what you have said."

"This is nothing, these are just the tip of the iceberg. If you are really interested, I can take you to my residence to see those things."

Upon hearing this, Song Miqiu's eyes lit up, and she immediately wanted to agree, but then she felt a pang of pain in her heart when she thought that she could only look at it and not exchange it for points.

Just as she was about to reject this pain, another soft laugh came from the other side, and something was placed directly on the table.

"We had a very pleasant conversation today, so I'll take this as a gift."

"That won't do. From what you just said, it's definitely not an ordinary item. I can't handle it."

Upon hearing this, the old man frowned slightly. Just as he was about to say something more to persuade Song Miqiu to hand over the items, he saw something else and his eyes lit up.

Noticing the change in the other person, she breathed a sigh of relief and placed another item beside her.

"I have some items that I need someone to appraise. I wonder if you have the time?"

"What do you mean 'you and me'? The moment I saw you, I felt a sense of familiarity, just like with my younger sister who got married many years ago. From now on, how about you call me Brother Ming?"

So you're going to acknowledge someone as your elder brother?

If she could exchange one or two jade pendants for other things, she wouldn't even need the points; she would simply give away all the things she had collected.

Unfortunately, this thing only works on the person in front of him. Song Miqiu smiled as he looked at the old man surnamed Ming who was playing with the thing in his hand.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony. If you ever need anything from now on, just tell me and I'll do my best."

"Okay, okay. By the way, we've been chatting for so long, and I haven't told you your name yet. How rude of me. Your name is Ming Taicheng, I wonder..."

Seeing his appearance, Song Miqiu didn't want to hide anything and directly revealed her name.

But just as he was about to continue asking about antiques and jade, his collar was grabbed from behind and suddenly yanked.

Song Miqiu paused, looking at the other person with slight dissatisfaction as they tried to use their usual tone to make him behave, when he felt pain in his arm again.

Even so, she still didn't understand what the other person meant and wanted to ask for clarification, when she heard something even more interesting.

"There's an auction at the money exchange tonight. I wonder if Miss Song has time?"

"Of course, brother, are you inviting me to come along?"

Ming Taicheng nodded, then waved to the people below, and the cruise ship set off again, only stopping once more in the evening.
