Eventually, Qin Xiansheng compromised and dropped her off near a parking lot before leaving.
Going to school with a yin beast still made Gu Qin feel uncomfortable. She kept glancing back at it. The White Tiger, being curious about everything, followed closely behind, often almost getting lost. Gu Qin had to call it back several times. She was still unfamiliar with the White Tiger and feared it might cause trouble if it wandered off.
Just as they arrived at the school gate, they saw many students running towards the teaching building, as if something had happened.
At this moment, the White Tiger was following Gu Qin. Seeing everyone running toward the teaching building, it wanted to follow too. Running a short distance, it suddenly remembered Gu Qin and decided that she was its owner, and whatever treatment it received would depend on her. For now, it needed to listen.
The White Tiger turned to look at Gu Qin. Gu Qin sighed. "Don't run too fast, I'm coming too."
Gu Qin judged that something serious had happened in the teaching building. Since classes hadn't started yet, students shouldn't be rushing over. She didn't plan to use her spiritual sight to investigate and walked leisurely toward the teaching building with the White Tiger.
Two steps in, Lin Xinxin's voice came from behind. "Qin Qin, wait for me!"
Turning around, she saw Lin Xinxin carrying a heavy sandbag running toward the school. She trained for four to five hours every day, and her mornings usually involved carrying a sandbag and backpack. She was now quite accustomed to it, and the weight didn't bother her much.
Lin Xinxin quickly caught up and linked arms with Gu Qin, heading toward the teaching building. Boarding students had just finished breakfast in the cafeteria and were rushing toward the teaching building. Lin Xinxin asked curiously, "Qin Qin, what are they doing?"
Gu Qin shook her head. "I'm not sure, but it seems something happened in the teaching building."
"Huh, what could happen so early in the morning?" Lin Xinxin wondered, grabbing a passing girl. "Zhou Yan, what are you guys doing? Why are you all running toward the teaching building?"
Zhou Yan was a student from Class 15. Lin Xinxin was outgoing and friendly, so she had many friends at school.
Zhou Yan whispered mysteriously, "They say two boys from Class 1 got into a fight and got injured. One of them even used a knife! It's said to be over Zhu Zhenyan."
Zhu Zhenyan was not only the class beauty of Grade 1 Class 1 but also ranked among the school beauties. She was not only beautiful but also academically excellent. With fair skin and straight black hair, she looked pure. Previously, she was always the top student in the entire grade, but ever since Gu Qin's grades improved, she had consistently ranked second.
Gu Qin remembered that Yu Jie had planned to frame her during the final exams because of Zhu Zhenyan.
Such a beautiful and academically excellent girl naturally attracted many male students. It wasn't unusual for boys to fight over her, but using a knife was abnormal.
Upon hearing about the injuries, Gu Qin's expression turned serious, and her pace quickened. Lin Xinxin hurriedly followed but found it difficult to keep up with Gu Qin's brisk steps.
Gu Qin soon arrived at the teaching building. This building housed Grade 1 classrooms. There were many people gathered outside Class 1, all staring into the classroom. There were too many people, and the sounds of girls' screams and cries filled the air.
Gu Qin's face changed, realizing the situation was serious. Many students were busy calling 120 and 110.
Pushing through the crowd, she found it hard to squeeze in. She made a hand gesture, and the people around her parted automatically, allowing her to enter. Lin Xinxin followed. Inside the classroom, chaos reigned. Many students crowded around the injured, and Gu Qin could see blood oozing from the floor. The bleeding was severe.
She heard students panickedly discussing, "How can we stop the bleeding? Why hasn't the ambulance arrived yet..."
"Move!" Gu Qin shouted, pushing aside the students surrounding the injured. Some students were unhappy. "What are you pushing for?"
"Move!" Gu Qin shouted again, finally reaching the injured. She frowned, then immediately knelt down to examine the wound.
The injured student was Yu Jie, who had been stabbed in the abdomen. The wound was deep, and blood was gushing out. Another student was trying to help with the wound.
Gu Qin examined the wound and found the other student's method correct, but the injury was too severe to stop the bleeding without medical equipment.
Yu Jie was already disoriented, leaning weakly in another student's arms. That student was terrified and shaking.
Kneeling down, Gu Qin whispered, "Let me see." She quickly tore the clothes around the wound, which was alarming but not life-threatening due to non-critical organs.
In general, even without hitting vital organs, a stab in the abdomen could be fatal due to excessive bleeding. Without medical intervention, survival was unlikely, as ambulances usually took around ten minutes to arrive, making it hard to survive that long.
Gu Qin considered this the least severe case, as the vital organs were spared. She placed her hand on the wound and quickly pressed several points nearby, channeling her energy to heal the wound...
The student helping Yu Jie was surprised. "What are you doing? If we don't stop the bleeding soon, he won't make it." He looked back at the classroom door. "Why hasn't the ambulance arrived yet..."
Gu Qin didn't look up. "Stopping the bleeding. Your method works for minor wounds, but his injury is too deep. Without rapid hemostasis, he won't last until medical help arrives."

The student looked at her. "But you have no tools to stop the bleeding. Just pressing won't work..."
"Do you know Chinese medicine?" Gu Qin looked up. "The points I'm pressing can temporarily stop the bleeding in this situation. Your method is useful, but not suitable now. Do your parents know medicine?"
"Acupuncture points?" The student looked at Gu Qin in surprise and nodded. "My parents are doctors, and I've learned some. So I know how to handle wounds, but this injury is too severe. Are these points really so magical?"
Gu Qin nodded. "Chinese medicine is profound. Don't underestimate it." The points she pressed could indeed stop the bleeding temporarily, thanks to her energy.
The teacher and principal heard about the incident and rushed over quickly. When they arrived, Yu Jie's bleeding had already stopped.
Students witnessed Gu Qin's efforts and discussed her use of acupuncture points. Gu Qin was well-known at school, and many recognized her, whispering among themselves.
The homeroom teacher was a woman, still eating in the dormitory when a student told her about Yu Jie and Zhang Zian fighting, with Yu Jie stabbed. The teacher was terrified and stumbled multiple times on the way to the classroom, meeting the principal along the way. They both rushed over.
Reaching the classroom door, they saw blood everywhere and were nearly shocked to death. Such incidents would affect the school, and no principal or teacher wanted such events.
Once inside, hearing the students' discussions and learning that Gu Qin had helped stop the bleeding, they relaxed. Hearing the exaggerated stories, the principal and teacher grew increasingly curious about this student. Within a year, her academic performance had soared, and she knew feng shui and healing techniques. Truly miraculous.
Seeing no immediate danger, Gu Qin stood up, noticing the crowd's admiration. "Disperse, crowding around isn't good for the injured, and it will delay the ambulance."
Tian Yinhua quickly added, "Everyone return to your classes! Don't gather here!"
With the principal's words, students dispersed, returning to their classrooms to spread the news about Gu Qin's miraculous bleeding-stopping technique.
After everyone dispersed, Tian Yinhua asked, "Is the injured student alright now?"
Gu Qin nodded. "Principal, don't worry. He's safe now. The ambulance will take him to the hospital. I'll return to class now. Don't let me disturb you."
Tian Yinhua replied, "Go back to class quickly." They indeed had many matters to attend to.
After Gu Qin left, she returned to the classroom with Lin Xinxin. The principal and teachers questioned the students about what had happened in Class 1. The homeroom teacher also called Yu Jie's parents, who were terrified and rushed to the school.
The principal noticed that Zhang Zian, who had injured Yu Jie, was no longer in the classroom. Asking a few students, one said, "Principal, I saw him run away when there were many people."
High school students couldn't run far; they would return home. The principal had the homeroom teacher call Zhang Zian's parents. Looking at Zhu Zhenyan, he didn't speak.
The incident began because of Zhu Zhenyan. Yu Jie and Zhang Zian both liked her and pursued her, but she neither refused nor agreed, enjoying the attention. Today, the two boys argued over something trivial, and Zhang Zian even brought a fruit knife to school. It seemed to be the same knife he used to cut fruits for Zhu Zhenyan.
Zhu Zhenyan was also terrified, sitting motionless and trembling. The homeroom teacher angrily glanced at her, knowing she was popular among male students. She had heard rumors and wanted to talk to her, but Zhu Zhenyan hadn't committed to anyone, and the teacher lacked the authority to intervene. Now, an accident had occurred.
The ambulance arrived shortly, and medical staff helped lift Yu Jie onto the ambulance. The principal and homeroom teacher surely accompanied him.
Doctors were already examining the patient's wound. Seeing such a deep wound had stopped bleeding, they exclaimed, "This wound is deep, though it didn't hit vital organs. Usually, such a deep wound wouldn't stop bleeding. How did you stop it without medical equipment?"
Tian Yinhua was still a bit concerned and asked the doctor, "Doctor, is the student's condition serious?"
The doctor responded, "Not too serious. Although the blood loss was significant, it has been stopped. Once we reach the hospital, it won't be a major issue. But I think without stopping the bleeding first, he might not have survived our arrival."
Hearing this, the principal and homeroom teacher broke out in cold sweat. They exchanged a glance, feeling awestruck. Initially, Yu Jie had framed Gu Qin, but now this student had saved him without holding a grudge. Such character was rare for someone of his age.
The doctor couldn't help asking, "How did you stop the bleeding? It doesn't seem like any special method was used, yet the bleeding stopped."
The principal wiped his face. "Our principal has a friend who knows traditional Chinese medicine. Supposedly, pressing certain acupoints stopped the bleeding."
"A student?" The doctor showed respect. "A high schooler, barely in their teens, able to do this? Truly impressive. Our hospital's veteran TCM practitioner might not have this skill. Would you consider bringing this student to our hospital for further training?"
Tian Yinhua smiled. "We'll consider it. Thank you, doctor."
The doctor also said to the principal, "A classmate of his called me? In the future, please invite her to our hospital for outpatient treatment in Traditional Chinese Medicine."
The principal smiled bitterly and said, "Doctor, she's only in high school, just 16 or 17 years old. It's impossible for her to work at the hospital. I think we should forget about it. But when I go back, I'll suggest it to her. If she's willing to help out sometimes, we can get in touch with you."
The doctor nodded and said, "Alright, thank you then."
This doctor worked at the No. 1 People's Hospital in Daishan County. The hospital was very busy, with many patients. Both its equipment and medical staff were considered top-notch.
They arrived at the hospital quickly. The principal and the homeroom teacher followed the ambulance and rushed toward the operating room.
When they reached the operating room, the principal paid the deposit first, and Yu Jie was immediately taken inside.
In less than half an hour, Yu Jie's parents arrived. They looked extremely anxious. The woman's face was pale, and her legs were weak. If not for the middle-aged man supporting her, she would have collapsed. The principal and the homeroom teacher hurried over and asked, "Are you Yu Jie's parents?"
"I... my son..." The woman trembled so much that she couldn't speak coherently, her eyes red, almost on the verge of breaking down.
Yu Feng asked urgently, "How is my son? He was fine at school, how could he be injured?"
The principal replied, "Don't worry, Yu Jie has already been sent to the operating room. The doctors say he will be fine because the bleeding was stopped in time. He is currently undergoing surgery. As for why Yu Jie was injured, that's a long story..."
Yu Feng said impatiently, "Then tell me the short version. The homeroom teacher said my son was stabbed at school. Why was he stabbed? What's going on at your school?"
The homeroom teacher quickly explained the situation. By the end, Cui Hui was yelling at Chu Zhenyan, crying and cursing.
Yu Feng remained relatively calm and asked in detail. After hearing the whole story, he learned that a classmate had helped stop Yu Jie's bleeding, without which he might not have made it to the ambulance.
Upon hearing this, their faces turned even paler. Cui Hui was nearly overwhelmed. Yu Feng asked, "Do you know the name of that student? He did such a great thing; we need to thank him."
The homeroom teacher said, "It's a girl named Gu Qin. She's very capable and knows Traditional Chinese Medicine."
Gu Qin? Cui Hui stopped crying and grabbed the homeroom teacher's arm. "Did you say the student who saved my son is named Gu Qin? Gu, Gu... what?" Her head buzzed, unable to believe what she had heard.
"She's named Gu Qin," the homeroom teacher said. "She's a student from Grade 17, Class 1. Although she's in Grade 17, her grades are excellent, always ranking first in her grade. She's a very nice girl." A good student with good grades, beautiful but well-behaved, and knowledgeable in Traditional Chinese Medicine—any teacher would like such a student. Even as the homeroom teacher of Class 1, she couldn't help but like this student.
"Gu Qin, really named Gu Qin?" Cui Hui's face turned even paler. "How many students named Gu Qin are there in your school?" It's a first-year student. Could it really be so coincidental?
The homeroom teacher replied, "Her name is distinctive. There's only one student named Gu Qin in the entire high school. Is there something special about her?"
Cui Hui was silent for a moment before shaking her head. "No, I don't know her. My face feels hot. How could I not know her? Back then, it was because Gu Qin embarrassed my son in front of all the classmates that I angrily retaliated against her mother. Later, when Gu Qin's mother was doing business, I made things difficult for her with the business license. Now, she has saved my son without holding any grudges. How can I still claim to know her?"
Yu Feng noticed Cui Hui's unusual behavior and didn't ask further. They both went to inquire about Yu Jie's condition from the doctor.
Soon after, the principal received a call and had to leave. The police had gone to the school, and the principal needed to handle some matters there, leaving the homeroom teacher behind.
Yu Feng pulled Cui Hui aside and whispered, "Do you know the student who saved our son?"
Cui Hui remained silent. Yu Feng knew his wife had offended many people over the years due to her pride. He couldn't understand how she could know a high school student. Yu Feng asked several times before Cui Hui told him about the conflict between her and Gu Qin.
Yu Feng sighed. "Wife, you're really confused. What happened to our son was his own fault. This student is always ranked first in her grade. How could she possibly copy him? I heard our son say he liked Chu Zhenyan. This time, it was because Chu Zhenyan had an argument with another boy that he got hurt. I heard Chu Zhenyan was also ranked first in her grade before. I guess this girl must have said something to our son, which led to his actions. I don't like Chu Zhenyan; she seems cunning. As for this Gu student, she must be good. Just knowing she saved our son without holding a grudge shows that. Since everything has passed, we should bring some gifts and apologize to her in a couple of days. I think this Gu student isn't petty."
Cui Hui nodded. "I agree with you. I realize I was wrong too. Oh, I was mistaken about her. Once our son wakes up, I'll go and apologize and thank her."
By afternoon, Yu Jie's surgery was successful. He no longer had life-threatening injuries, though he was still quite weak. When the doctor came out, they immediately surrounded him and asked many questions. The doctor said, "Fortunately, the bleeding was stopped in time. Otherwise, this boy might not have survived."
Hearing this, Cui Hui felt even more regret.
After their son woke up, they visited him. Yu Jie wasn't very talkative and kept sleeping. Cui Hui hurried back home to prepare food for him. The doctor said he could only eat light liquid food for now.
After school, Lin Xinxin and Gu Qin left the classroom to go home. As they exited the classroom, Gu Qin glanced back. Bai Hu immediately followed. That day, Bai Hu had been quite obedient, lying quietly in the back of the classroom and following Gu Qin wherever she went.
Lin Xinxin hand in hand Gu Qin's arm and asked, "Qin Qin, why did you look back?"
