61: Chapter 61 Medical Miracle! Is there really such a thing as magic?
After dancing for a full three minutes, Wang Tiezhu suddenly took a huge mouthful of water.
"Pfft!"
A mist of water sprayed directly onto the paralyzed man's face.
The man was sprayed all over, but he didn't move a muscle, only his eyelids twitched slightly.
How professional.
Wang Tiezhu picked up a yellow talisman, lit it on a candle, threw the ashes into the water bowl, and forced it down the man's throat by pinching his chin.
"By the order of Taishang Laojun! Evil spirits, begone! Arise!"
With Wang Tiezhu's thunderous shout, a miracle happened.
The man, who had been slumped like a pile of mud, actually began to move.
His hands slowly straightened, and his crooked neck corrected itself.
Then, under everyone's shocked gazes, he propped himself up on the wheelchair's armrests and stood up tremblingly!
Though his legs were still shaking, he really stood up!
He even took two steps forward!
The livestream went completely wild.
"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!"
"A medical miracle! He actually stood up!"
"Could there really be magic in this world?"
"This is too divine! Who said Daoist Qingfeng was a fraud? Come out and take your beating!"
"Divine doctor! This is a divine doctor!"
At this moment, the shills who had been lying in wait began to spam the screen, steering the narrative.
The screen was filled with comments like "Daoist Qingfeng is awesome" and "Su Yun, apologize".
Wang Tiezhu supported the man, his face full of smugness.
He looked provocatively at Su Yun on the screen: "Su Yun, facts speak louder than words! What do you have to say now?"
"This man has been paralyzed for three years. I made him stand up as soon as I took action. Is this also a trick?"
"If you can't see it, then go turn yourself in!"
Beside him, Celestial Master Zhang chimed in, "Su Yun, admit it. Some things are beyond the comprehension of a greenhorn like you."
At this moment, Su Yun finally moved.
He put down his folding fan, leaned forward, and moved closer to the microphone.
"Pfft."
An uncontrollable chuckle spread across the entire internet through the audio stream.
This laugh made everyone feel uneasy.
Wang Tiezhu's heart skipped a beat. "What are you laughing at?"
Su Yun shook his head, his gaze looking at them like two pantless clowns performing ballet on stage.
"I'm professionally trained; I usually don't laugh."
"Unless... I really can't help it."
Su Yun cleared his throat, his gaze bypassing Wang Tiezhu and landing directly on the man who had just created the 'medical miracle'.
"Li Jianguo, male, 42 years old."
"C-level signed artist of Starlight Media."
Su Yun's voice wasn't loud, but every word was clear, like small knives precisely popping a balloon.
The man who had just stood up felt his calves visibly tremble.
Su Yun continued, "Nice acting, Old Li."
"Last month in that Anti-Japanese drama at Hengdian, you played a corpse and lay there for three hours without blinking. The director even praised your professionalism."
"What? Today you're not playing a corpse, but switched to playing a paralytic instead?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the livestream froze instantly.
The comments that were just spamming 'Divine Doctor' all stopped at once.
It was as if someone had pressed the pause button.
The man named Li Jianguo's face turned pale instantly, his eyes darting around, not daring to look at the camera.
Wang Tiezhu panicked and shouted, "You're talking nonsense! He is a paralyzed patient! I have the hospital's diagnosis report!"
"Diagnosis report?"
Su Yun sneered, "Ads for fake certificates are plastered all over the streets. How many do you want?"
"Also, Li Jianguo, the muscle atrophy effect on your legs is quite realistic."
"The special effects makeup artist did a good job. They probably used imported silicone patches, right?"
"If you don't believe me, everyone, have him roll up his pant legs and see."
"Also, the makeup remover is in the left compartment of Daoist Wang's makeup bag, the blue bottle, right?"
This series of detailed revelations completely stunned Li Jianguo.
He subconsciously shrank behind Wang Tiezhu.
This reaction showed something was wrong to anyone who wasn't blind.
But it wasn't over yet.
Su Yun's next words were the true killing blow.
"Old Li, acting is fine; after all, it's just a way to make a living."
"But you told your wife you were out of town filming a blockbuster."
"If she knew your so-called blockbuster was just pretending to be paralyzed for a five-hundred-yuan appearance fee, being played like a monkey..."
"Do you think you'll still be able to sleep in your bed when you go home?"
"Your wife is holding her phone right now, watching you in the livestream."
"Her ID is 'Blooming Wealth and Prosperity', and she even sent you a little heart just now."
Boom!
These words were like a Bolt of lightning striking directly at the crown of Li Jianguo's head.
Five hundred yuan?
Pretending to be paralyzed?
Wife watching?
Li Jianguo's psychological defenses collapsed instantly.
This was a nationwide livestream!
If his wife saw him like this, how could he face anyone again?
"Wife! Let me explain!"
Li Jianguo couldn't keep up the act anymore.
He straightened his back abruptly, and his 'atrophied' legs instantly became incredibly nimble.
He shoved Wang Tiezhu aside, rushed to the camera, and waved frantically at the screen.
"Wife! This was all arranged by the company! If I didn't do it, they would dock my pay!"
"I'm not paralyzed! I'm perfectly healthy!"
To prove he was fine, Li Jianguo hopped twice on the spot and even did a high-knee lift.
The movements were more textbook than Liu Xiang's hurdling.
The whole place fell silent.
Then, the comments erupted like a volcanic eruption.
"Hahaha! I'm dying of laughter! This is the medical miracle?"
"Who said it wasn't acting just now? Come out and take a few steps!"
"A five-hundred-yuan appearance fee? That's way too cheap!"
"As soon as the wife arrives, the paralysis is cured! This is the true divine doctor!"
"Wang Tiezhu, what else do you have to say?"
Wang Tiezhu was completely dumbfounded.
He had calculated everything but didn't expect Su Yun to dig up the background of even an eighteenth-tier actor.
He even knew the man's wife was watching the stream!
Is this something a human can do?
"You, you..."
Wang Tiezhu pointed at Li Jianguo, his hand shaking with rage. "You useless trash! Who told you to admit it!"
Li Jianguo was also desperate. "Nonsense! My wife is in the livestream; why would I care about your crap?"
After saying that, Li Jianguo didn't care about the livestream anymore; he covered his face, turned around, and ran out of the frame.
That speed would make Bolt weep.
Only Wang Tiezhu was left in the livestream, standing there in a daze.
Su Yun looked at Wang Tiezhu, who was scurrying like a headless fly on the screen, and shook his head.
"Alright, stop struggling."
"Your part has wrapped."
With a wave of his hand, Su Yun muted Wang Tiezhu's microphone.
No matter how much Wang Tiezhu gesticulated and opened his mouth wide on the other side of the screen, not a single sound came out.
He looked exactly like a ridiculous silent film.
Su Yun ignored this buffoon.
He turned his head, his gaze falling on the window in the top right corner of the screen.
There sat Celestial Master Zhang, who hadn't spoken the entire time.
"Zhang Xuanji, Master Zhang."
Su Yun called his name, his tone flat but carrying an invisible pressure.
"Your teammate has already fed."
"Now, it's your turn."
"I hope the shill you found has slightly better acting than that guy."
"Otherwise, this play will be far too boring."
