Chapter 159: Face-Slapping! Teacher Shen is a God-Tier Genius!

The next second, the student named Liu Yuan suddenly began to convulse, followed by passing out cold.

Qian Huazhi hugged him and burst into tears, "My son! My son!"

Shen Chutang stepped forward quickly to take Liu Yuan's pulse, but Qian Huazhi pushed her away. "Don't touch my son, you murderer!"

Zhu Yongmei also said viciously, "Teacher Shen, don't you think you've already caused enough trouble!"

Shen Chutang said sternly, "If you don't want him to die, shut your mouth right now!"

Everyone was startled by Shen Chutang's demeanor and dared not move for a moment.

Shen Chutang stepped forward once more, drew out a silver needle from her hand, unbuttoned Liu Yuan's clothes, and drove the needle straight into the center of his chest.

Qian Huazhi shrieked and tried to stop her, but the principal held her back. "Parent, don't be impulsive. Teacher Shen is a physician, you can trust her!"

Zhu Yongmei rebuked angrily, "The school doctor hasn't even made a move, yet you insist on performing acupuncture on the child. Are you feeling guilty because you have something to hide?"

Fang Zhihe could no longer watch and said, "Teacher Zhu, please show some professional ethics."

Zhu Yongmei refused to back down. "What, did I say something wrong? So what if she has a license? She's a teacher here, not a doctor! If she wants to be a doctor, why doesn't she go practice medicine instead of coming here to teach and steal our spotlight? And making those special teas every day for no reason—now that she's harmed someone, she's pretending to be kind and saving lives. In my eyes, she's simply ridden with guilt!"

Finally, the school doctor could no longer bear it either. "Teacher Zhu, are you a doctor?"

Zhu Yongmei was taken aback. "Of course I'm not."

"Then shut your mouth."

Zhu Yongmei looked incredulous. "What did you say?"

The school doctor's gaze fixed firmly on Shen Chutang. "Her acupuncture technique is extremely professional. Even a specialized acupuncturist couldn't perform it as cleanly and decisively as she does."

Everyone's gaze fell upon Shen Chutang once again. As she inserted the fifth needle, Liu Yuan slowly opened his eyes, and his complexion recovered significantly.

Qian Huazhi immediately stepped forward. "Son, are you okay?"

Liu Yuan said with surprise, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

Shen Chutang withdrew the needles and said without raising her head, "Prepare some warm saline water for all the children. He is out of danger now. Those who are still worried can go to the hospital for a check-up later."

With that, Shen Chutang walked toward the next child. After every child had received acupuncture, the principal immediately dispatched vehicles to send them all to the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination.

In the vehicle, the children with milder conditions had already regained their energy and could even be taken straight home.

However, the parents were still uneasy and insisted on getting examinations done.

Upon arriving at the hospital and learning that the students had suffered from food poisoning, the hospital immediately arranged for examinations. Yet, the results astonished everyone.

The doctor stated that the children were all fine, and even Liu Yuan, whose condition was the most severe, only needed to drink more water at home.

"Have you already visited another hospital? I can see that the children have clearly received treatment."

Aside from the parents of each child, those who accompanied them included Zhu Yongmei, the principal, and Shen Chutang.

The principal immediately spoke up, "It was our Teacher Shen. She knows acupuncture."

The doctor's eyes lit up slightly. "Is that so? Then you can completely rest easy. A few needles solved the problem—it's clear this Teacher Shen is a miraculous individual!"

Everyone's look toward Teacher Shen changed entirely; none of them expected her to be truly this formidable.

Right at that moment, Zhu Yongmei chimed in with a sarcastic tone, "So what? If she hadn't caused these children to suffer from food poisoning in the first place, none of this would have happened!"

Shen Chutang glanced at her, a cold sneer forming at the corners of her lips. "Zhu Yongmei, everything requires evidence."

"What evidence is needed? Isn't this obvious enough! You must be feeling guilty, which is why you gave them acupuncture the moment the children fell ill! Once they're cured, you think you're innocent, right? Besides, why didn't you defend yourself earlier? You're just waiting until the children are fine to seize the opportunity to slip away and escape punishment!"

Shen Chutang looked at her with a trace of pity in her eyes. "You are a teacher, after all, and I truly feel sorrow for your logic. I administered acupuncture to the children because they were in danger. Moreover, why didn't I defend myself just now? Should I have watched the children vomiting and suffering there, possessing the ability to treat them yet refusing to do so, just to first bicker and argue with you to prove it wasn't my fault?"

As soon as those words fell, the looks that the principal and several parents directed at Zhu Yongmei completely shifted.

Initially, they had felt that Zhu Yongmei was a good teacher who constantly spoke up for the students. But thinking about it now, they realized that Zhu Yongmei had simply been smearing and cursing Shen Chutang all along.

Shen Chutang looked at Zhu Yongmei and continued, "I have already sent Teacher Fang Zhihe to the cafeteria to fetch samples of the special tea, and he also went to Class F. Coincidentally, the special tea on Liu Yuan's desk hadn't been finished yet, and I had him bring that along as well. Let's test it right now and see if it really was my tea that was the problem."

"Fine!"

Zhu Yongmei remained unrepentant. If it truly turned out to be an issue with the special tea this time, Shen Chutang could completely forget about ever advancing her career!
