"We are all friends, why be so distant," Xiao Qi spoke up. "With him here, it shouldn't be a problem!"
Lu Fan looked at Chu Guodong. Yang Xiaofei had silver needles all over her back, but not a single one was inserted correctly, causing him to frown. "Could this person be a physician?"
"That's right!" Chu Guodong nodded. "You can call me Divine Doctor Chu!"
As Chu Guodong inserted the needles, his expression became even more placid, and his words carried a hint of arrogance.
"This needling technique is chaotic and serves no purpose," Lu Fan stated directly. "With such needle insertion, what is your intention?"
"Who is this impudent brat, daring to question me?" Chu Guodong's face turned dark. "Have you not heard of my Chu family's reputation?"
"Even if the Chu family is a lineage of physicians, you shouldn't just insert needles randomly," Lu Fan said coldly. "Otherwise, wouldn't you be taking lives!"
"Ridiculous. I am here to treat patients, not to kill them," Chu Guodong replied coldly. "You brat, barging in and calling my needling chaotic, you must give me an explanation today!"
"Divine Doctor Chu, please do not be angry," Director Liu quickly intervened. "This is Mr. Lu, he also understands medicine and has some status!"
"What if he has status?" Chu Guodong said coldly. "Right is right, wrong is wrong. If he apologizes to me, I will not pursue it!"
Lu Fan ignored him and walked towards Yang Xiaofei, preparing to remove the silver needles. This acupuncture method was causing Yang Xiaofei great harm, otherwise Lu Fan would not have made such a fuss.
"Presumptuous brat!" Chu Guodong said coldly and struck out at Lu Fan with a palm, carrying a hint of internal force.
Lu Fan looked slightly surprised. To think a mere physician would possess such skills. Unfortunately, Lu Fan did not dodge. He walked directly towards Yang Xiaofei.
With a muffled groan, Chu Guodong staggered, nearly falling to the ground, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. Lu Fan had not even turned his head throughout the entire exchange.
"Who exactly are you, to be able to push me back with internal force?" Chu Guodong questioned.
Lu Fan did not respond. After removing the silver needles from Yang Xiaofei, he spoke, "Have you found any clues these past few days? I told you long ago, this is not an ordinary illness, but someone is trying to harm you."
"Everyone has been investigated!" Yang Xiaofei said helplessly. "But there is no evidence, and I don't know who is responsible!"
"Since that is the case, I will first expel the toxic qi from your body."
Lu Fan stated directly and took out his silver needles, inserting them into several acupoints on Yang Xiaofei. He had not paid any attention to Chu Guodong throughout this process.
"Divine Doctor Chu, please don't be angry!" Director Liu pleaded. "The consultation fee will definitely be doubled!"
"Humph!" Chu Guodong snorted. "Today, I shall see what skills he possesses!"
Although he spoke dismissively, Chu Guodong knew that Lu Fan was no ordinary person, otherwise he wouldn't understand internal force.
After a long while, Yang Xiaofei suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood, and her complexion improved significantly.
Director Liu's face lit up with joy. As expected, Lu Fan's medical skills were extraordinary. Chu Guodong had been observing for a long time without any sign of improvement, yet Lu Fan's personal intervention yielded significant results.
"The toxins in your body have been expelled!" Lu Fan announced. "However, we must find out who administered the poison to you as soon as possible!"
"Thank you, Mr. Lu!" Yang Xiaofei nodded. "It's not important anymore. Although the toxin has been cleared and my life is saved, the scar on my face can never be removed. I can only retire from the entertainment industry!"
"Xiaofei, don't be too saddened," Sister Li said. "After all, life is unpredictable!"
Yang Xiaofei gave a wry smile. To achieve success, she had worked extremely hard, relying not only on her looks but also on her doubled efforts to attain her current achievements. Unfortunately, an unforeseen event had shattered it all.
"I can help you with the scar," Lu Fan stated directly. "You don't need to worry too much. It's not impossible to restore it to its original state!"
"Is what Mr. Lu said true?" Yang Xiaofei exclaimed. "If that is the case, Mr. Lu would be my benefactor!"
Chu Guodong stood aside, feeling like air, appearing rather awkward. He was a divine doctor at the Divine Doctor's Hall, expected to cure all difficult and complex illnesses. To his surprise, he had lost to Lu Fan today.
"If Lu Fan says he can cure it, it will surely be cured!" Xiao Qi asserted. "You don't need to worry too much. The most important thing now is to find the person behind this!"
"Exactly!" Director Liu nodded. "We must catch the traitor. Who did this!"
"Truly malicious. If it weren't for Mr. Lu, Xiao Fei's face would have been ruined," Sister Li said quickly. "This matter must be investigated thoroughly."
"Director Liu, gather everyone from the crew. I'll know upon seeing them," Lu Fan stated. "That kind of poison is quite rare. If anyone has come into contact with it, they won't be able to hide it!"
"Mr. Lu also has such abilities?" Sister Li looked at Lu Fan.
Lu Fan did not respond. He was not particularly impressed with Sister Li.
"Divine Doctor Chu, here is the consultation fee for the past few days!" Yang Xiaofei handed over a bank card. "There will be no need for your services in the future."
"Humph!" Chu Guodong let out a cold snort. "This brat has some skills, but he's too arrogant. Miss Yang changing physicians midway is quite disrespectful!"
After speaking, Chu Guodong turned and left. As a divine doctor from the Divine Doctor's Hall, he was no ordinary person. He expected to be respected wherever he went.
Now that Lu Fan had stolen his thunder, he felt extremely uncomfortable. If he hadn't been cornered, he wouldn't have inserted needles so haphazardly. Unfortunately, Lu Fan had caught him in the act.
Seeing Chu Guodong leave, Director Liu became somewhat worried. He was a divine doctor from the Divine Doctor's Hall, a renowned institution nationwide, gathering many master physicians. He was of considerable standing, and as a mere director, he dared not offend him.
A while later, the crew members were summoned to the conference room. There were nearly forty to fifty people, each responsible for different tasks, including many artists.
"Mr. Lu, is there any way?"
Yang Xiaofei asked, "Who exactly wants to harm me!"
"Don't rush!" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "Is there anyone else who hasn't come?"
"Xiao Hong isn't feeling well, so she's the only one absent," Sister Li stated. "She and Xiao Fei are close; this definitely isn't something she would do."
"That's right, I believe Xiao Hong!" Yang Xiaofei nodded. "She wouldn't harm me."
"As I said earlier, everyone from the crew must be present!"
Lu Fan's voice was indifferent, but his command was irrefutable.
Director Liu nodded solemnly and personally went to Xiao Hong's room.
Sister Li frowned, her face showing a hint of nervousness.
"You can know a person's face but not their heart. Especially in the entertainment industry, you can't trust others too much," Xiao Qi advised. "Perhaps it was Xiao Hong who did it!"
"Without evidence, don't speak carelessly. Otherwise, it will cause disunity, and the crew won't be able to continue," Sister Li said coldly.
