"You're the vulgar one! Your whole family is vulgar. Clearly, it's your riddle that's vulgar!"
Feng Chengcheng's little face turned beet red, and she shouted furiously.
Lin Fan shrugged lazily, unwilling to tangle with her on this issue; otherwise, with this girl's nature, there would be an endless quarrel.
Seeing Lin Fan not speaking, Feng Chengcheng had a puzzled look on her face, her lips moving a bit, she asked, "You jerk, you still haven't told me the answer to the riddle!"
"Miss Feng, aren't you supposed to have an IQ of 120? Take your time guessing." Lin Fan threw a metaphorical curveball with a smile.
Feng Chengcheng clenched her silver teeth in anger, not believing that with her intelligence as the universe's undefeated top beauty, she couldn't figure it out, she immediately dived into deep thought.
As it turned out, even after thinking the whole way, Feng Chengcheng couldn't come up with the answer...
Soon, they arrived at East Sea University, Lin Fan parked the car and glanced at the still-pondering Feng Chengcheng through the rear-view mirror, and couldn't help but laugh: "Miss Feng, have you figured it out yet?"
"Hmph! Jerk, don't be so smug, I'll definitely figure it out!" Looking at Lin Fan's smug expression, Feng Chengcheng was irritated.
The girl angrily got out of the car, slammed the door shut with a loud "bang" to show her displeasure!
Lin Fan lit a cigarette and took a satisfying drag, looking at Feng Chengcheng's departing figure, inexplicably feeling a sense of glee.
Little girl, daring to oppose me, you're still too green!
Only after Feng Chengcheng safely entered the school gates did Lin Fan casually flick the cigarette butt into a roadside trash can, then drove off to the Medicine King Hall!
Every time Lin Fan arrived in a new city, he would first buy a city map, memorize the routes and important locations to prepare for any emergencies.
He was naturally familiar with the Medicine King Hall as well, arriving there at just half past eight, the hall's gates were not yet open, but quite a few people were already gathered at the entrance, including some rich folks with luxury cars!
"Looks like this Medicine King Hall is quite something!" Lin Fan said with a mildly interested smile.
Legend has it that during the Qing Dynasty, when Qianlong traveled south, he came down with a strange illness here, and the imperial physicians from Capital City were all at a loss. Enraged, Qianlong executed several imperial physicians and recruited grassroots doctors; whoever could cure him would receive a bounty of ten thousand taels!
However, because many imperial physicians were killed, most grassroots doctors dared not treat him, and Qianlong's illness worsened. In his desperate struggle, the yet-unknown first-generation Medicine King of the Medicine King Hall used a common plant to cure Qianlong!
This event shocked the entire court, and Qianlong planned to bring him back to court to appoint him as the chief physician, but the man decisively refused!
Seeing the man's extraordinary medical skills and lack of greed for wealth, Qianlong personally inscribed the words "Medicine King Hall" and gifted it to him. For a hundred years, even in today's world dominated by Western medicine, the Medicine King Hall still stands firm.
However, because the current Medicine King is getting old, he has set a rule that those seeking medical treatment must take a ticket, and only the first twenty patients each day are treated, resulting in the spectacular scene of people queuing early every morning!
"The Medicine King Hall is opening!"
At this moment, a rumbling sound came from within the Medicine King Hall!
"Hurry up! The Medicine King Hall is opening, go grab a ticket!"
"Damn it! Which son of a bitch pushed me? If I don't get a ticket today, I'll kill you!"
"My son is dying, please give me a ticket!"
...
The crowd immediately descended into chaos, with various voices clamoring non-stop.
Lin Fan chuckled indifferently, quickly following along, instead becoming quite interested in the Medicine King of the Medicine King Hall!
Inside was filled with the faint and enchanting scent of medicine, deeply inhaling it made one feel rejuvenated.
The shop was bustling with people seeking treatment or buying medicine. Those who didn't manage to get a ticket left disappointed. Lin Fan also waited for half an hour before getting his medicine.
However, Lin Fan wasn't in a hurry to leave; he was amusedly observing the Medicine King Hall!
At the very front of the Medicine King Hall, a row of screens blocked the view of the back, simulating an ancient medical clinic setup to create a treatment chamber.
Peeking through the gaps, Lin Fan saw an elderly man seriously diagnosing patients. Each patient leaving from behind the screen seemed much improved and was profusely thanking the Medicine King!
Before long, the twenty patients had been seen, and the elderly man was supported out from behind a door in the screen!
Disappointed at not seeing the true face of the Medicine King, Lin Fan was just about to leave when a girl's heart-wrenching cries suddenly reached his ears!
"My mom is on the brink, please, please let her get treated!"
The girl hurriedly walked into the Medicine King Hall with her mother on her back and immediately knelt on the floor, tears like raindrops on a flower ruining her otherwise exquisite face.
The middle-aged woman on her back was wearing a patched-up coat, looking dirty and deathly pale with a purplish hue, barely alive.
Someone like this, even if seen by a doctor, would only be advised to prepare for the end!
The gatekeeper cast a disdainful look at the girl and said coldly, "Sorry, Miss, our Medicine King is already exhausted, and the twenty spots are filled. Come back tomorrow."
"My mom can't wait until tomorrow, please let the Medicine King see her, I beg you." The girl pleaded, kowtowing three times as soon as she finished speaking!
"I'm telling you, even if you beat your skull into a pit, it won't help. Stop blocking the way and get out!" the gatekeeper barked impatiently.
Lin Fan frowned subconsciously, thinking of the saying that doctors are like parents. The gatekeeper's behavior made Lin Fan's favorable impression of the Medicine King Hall drop to zero!
Through the crowd, Lin Fan looked at the kneeling girl and paused. Despite her tear-streaked face, he recognized her at once.
It was the pretty flight attendant, Qiu Ruohan, whom he had met while picking up Su Yanyu from the airport!
"What's all this noise? Don't you know my grandfather is resting? What's going on?"
At this moment, a young man walked out from the inner hall, his face clouded with anger.
The gatekeeper's face turned pale, hurriedly shifting the blame to Qiu Ruohan: "Mr. Liu, this young lady brought her mother for treatment. I told her that the Medicine King is resting and to come back tomorrow, but she refuses to leave and tried to threaten me by kneeling."
Liu Yifei glanced disdainfully at the middle-aged woman's patched-up coat!
Liu Yifei casually glanced at the middle-aged woman's complexion, then waved his hand dismissively, "Miss, your mother is beyond help. Go home and prepare for the end. You guys, give her some money and send them off. Stop blocking the entrance and hindering our business."
"Mr. Liu, I'm not here to beg, I beg you to let the Medicine King treat my mom, please." Qiu Ruohan implored.
"Get her out of here!" Liu Yifei said impatiently, turning to leave!
"Hold on!"
Suddenly, Lin Fan's voice came from the crowd!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~
Instantly, everyone's eyes turned towards Lin Fan!
Anyone familiar with the Medicine King Hall knew that although this was just a clinic, it had saved many tycoons over the years, amassing a vast network of connections. Even the top officials in East Sea would have to be courteous here!
This young man dared to cause a scene in the Medicine King Hall, confronting Liu Yifei; wasn't he courting death?
As expected, Liu Yifei's face turned cold, he abruptly turned his head towards Lin Fan, and snapped: "Who do you think you are?"
