In the casino, watching Ling Zhenfei's figure disappear before his eyes, Golden Teeth was so angry he was practically spewing flames. In a fury, he grabbed a vase worth hundreds of thousands from a shelf and smashed it violently to the ground.
Clang!
The vase shattered like rain, and the atmosphere in the entire place became oppressively tense. The thugs struggled to get up from the ground and looked at Golden Teeth with alarm.
They certainly knew what kind of person their boss was, and to suffer such a humiliating insult at the hands of a youngster like Ling Zhenfei today, how could they not be enraged?
"Big Brother, we've been roaming Jianghu for so many years and have never suffered such a disgrace. We must reclaim our honor in this place!"
Being stunned into silence until now, Du Xiao Ma finally saw Golden Teeth fly into a rage and hastily said.
"Hmph, if I, Golden Teeth, don't retrieve the face that has been thrown away, how can I mix in this world!"
Golden Teeth's face was filled with a dark cloud, and after grinding his teeth in anger, he said to Du Xiao Ma with a serious face, "You arrange it. Tomorrow, I will personally make a trip to the Capital City. That kid Ling Zhenfei is not someone we can handle; we need to call upon the higher powers!"
"Yes, Big Brother, I'll make the arrangements right away!"
Upon hearing Golden Teeth's order, Du Xiao Ma's expression immediately became solemn and serious, and he agreed repeatedly before going out.
"Ling Zhenfei, arrogant brat, the humiliation you have inflicted upon me today, I will surely make you pay it back tenfold, a hundredfold!"
With no outlet for his seething resentment, Golden Teeth could only let out a furious shout, bellowing to the skies.
Although, Ling Zhenfei was very aware that Golden Teeth was no easy opponent. Having made him suffer such a big setback today, the old guy would definitely not swallow this grievance easily, nor would he let it go.
But even if he didn't let it go, so what? Right now, Ling Zhenfei seemed to be on bad terms with all the dark forces in Binyang. Golden Teeth was the man behind the scenes of Binyang's underworld, and this big rock was something that Ling Zhenfei inevitably had to remove sooner or later.
After leaving the casino, Ling Zhenfei transferred the nearly five million that Qin Fanghuai had lost into his account and, with a smile, encouraged him to take the lesson to heart and absolutely not to gamble again in the future. If it really led to the ruin of his family and himself, it would truly be a regret beyond remedy!
Qin Fanghuai himself could not have imagined that the several hundred thousand he'd hemorrhaged could actually be retrieved.
To think, it was nearly five million! Some people might not earn that amount in their entire lifetime, and yet Ling Zhenfei had returned it to him without a second thought. How could he easily forget such kindness?
"Young Master Ling, this money... just give me two million. The rest, consider it your fee..."
At this moment, Qin Fanghuai felt both gratitude and admiration for Ling Zhenfei, staring at the series of digits Ling Zhenfei had sent him, his hands trembling and his voice quivering as he spoke.
"No need, Doctor Qin, this money was originally yours, and now I'm just returning it to its rightful owner. I'm going to repay the money I borrowed from friends and redeem my house!"
Ling Zhenfei declined with a smile and then casually waved the account balance in front of Qin Fanghuai, saying, "If we're talking about a fee, well, hasn't Golden Teeth already prepared a good parting gift for me? This time, my gains are no less than yours!"
With a grateful look at Ling Zhenfei, Qin Fanghuai was now so excited he didn't know what to say.
Afterwards, Qin Fanghuai expressed his desire to treat Ling Zhenfei to lunch as a token of gratitude.
"Hmm, I've been running around all morning and I'm starving as well, so I'm down for lunch. Let's go!" Despite his unwillingness to accept payment, Ling Zhenfei felt obligated to accept the genuine invitation extended to him.
Besides, his original purpose for coming today was to discuss fishkeeping collaboration with Old Qiao, but Qin Fanghuai's situation had delayed him. It might be a good opportunity to talk over lunch with Old Qiao.
"Great, great, Young Master Ling, thank you so much. My uncle is still waiting for us at the hospital, we'll head back there first and then go to lunch together!"
Seeing that Ling Zhenfei had accepted his invitation, Qin Fanghuai was thrilled and hurriedly drove Ling Zhenfei towards Old Qiao's hospital.
By the time the two arrived at Old Qiao's hospital, it was also nearing the end of the work day.
Concerned that his uncle would worry, Qin Fanghuai had informed Old Qiao of the outcome as soon as they left the casino, so now they didn't hesitate. As soon as they arrived at the hospital, they made a beeline for the director's office.
While still in the corridor, they heard the sound of Old Qiao conversing with someone in the office.
Just as Qin Fanghuai was about to knock on the door, Ling Zhenfei pulled him aside and signaled with his eyes for him not to disturb the two inside.
"Old Chen, you are a renowned expert in orthopedics, how can you also be confused by such formalism!"
The first voice to reach their ears was Old Qiao's, filled with doubt: "Think about it, you have been practicing medicine for many years; have you ever encountered bone-setting and injury treatment without the need for surgery?"
"Yes, what you say is true, but I really didn't deceive you, old leader!"
An older man's voice was clearly anxious as he hurriedly explained upon hearing Old Qiao's disbelief: "But this is absolutely true, just a few days ago, our hospital admitted a patient who had been in a car accident, with several ribs broken in the chest, one of which had pierced into the chest cavity, nearly stabbing into the heart.
The injury was extremely severe, such that even with high-tech medical equipment, I wouldn't dare to move it recklessly. However, when the patient arrived, his breathing was stable, and aside from the fragments of bone not yet removed inside his body, all his vital signs were no different from a normal person. What's more inconceivable, the broken rib that had pierced the chest cavity appeared to have been moved as if by its own volition..."
"What? A broken rib had been moved?"
Old Qiao, upon hearing this, couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment and asked aloud, "Old Chen, are you saying... the victim had been treated by someone before being brought to the hospital?"
"Exactly!" The man surnamed Chen replied with unwavering confidence, speaking firmly, "I was suspicious at the time and specifically asked the victim's family. They told me that before the victim was brought to the hospital, a young man had treated his injuries. Moreover, that young man didn't use any tools at all, he treated the injuries with his bare hands!"
"What? Treating injuries with bare hands and moving broken bones?" Old Qiao's voice grew even more astonished after hearing this: "Could it be… this young man actually possesses skills in Inner Strength as a doctor?"
"More than possessing Inner Strength, I dare to assert that this mysterious young man's skills are very profound. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to use Mysterious Techniques like Condensing Qi into Needle, using True Qi to needle and cauterize the patient!"
"What? Condensing Qi into Needle? There's actually such an outstanding master!"
Hearing the words of the man surnamed Chen, even the usually calm and collected Old Qiao, steady as Mount Tai, couldn't sit still anymore and cried out in amazement!
"That's right, old leader, my traditional Chinese medicine skills may not be great, but in my life, I've seen quite a few national medical experts with unique skills. However, I've never seen or even heard of medical techniques like those possessed by this mysterious young man!"
