Slap!
A loud smack echoed.
Faced with such humiliation, the middle-aged man dared not even let out a breath.
"Who sent you here to cause trouble? Are you looking for death?"
The one speaking was Yang Wei, the man whose illness Lin Xiao Tian had cured.
He had heard Lin Xiao Tian was coming today and specifically came to see him, choosing the lunch break to avoid disrupting Lin Xiao Tian's work.
To his surprise, as soon as he arrived, he heard the sounds of an argument from the consultation room.
Later, he was told it was because Lin Xiao Tian had made a mistake in treating someone, and the family was causing trouble.
Yang Wei knew Lin Xiao Tian's medical skills well; he was a renowned divine doctor, and so far, he had almost never failed. Yang Wei felt there must be some misunderstanding.
As he was pondering, he suddenly heard someone calling him.
Yang Wei glanced over and saw some of his brothers from the underworld. Because he had prestige in their circles, most people in the vicinity recognized him.
What started as a casual greeting, Yang Wei suddenly realized how many people involved in the underworld were present.
It was impossible they were all here for treatment, right?
After a little inquiry, the other party quickly explained the situation.
When he learned that someone had colluded with this group to frame Lin Xiao Tian, Yang Wei was furious.
This led to the scene just moments ago, where Yang Wei slapped the troublemaker as soon as he entered.
"Wei... Brother Wei... why are you here?" The middle-aged man tried to shift the focus.
But Yang Wei clearly had no intention of giving him that chance.
"Damn it, answer my question. What did you come here for?"
Knowing Yang Wei's power, the middle-aged man dared not delay and had to confess honestly.
"Brother Wei, this has nothing to do with us. Someone told us to come here and cause trouble, just to embarrass Lin Xiao Tian."
Hearing the other party's words, anger surged on Yang Wei's face.
"Quickly say, who sent you?"
"It was him!" The middle-aged man pointed across.
Yang Wei followed the direction of the man's finger, which led to where the inspection team was located.
And at this very moment, Dong Lin couldn't have felt more guilty.
These people were so untrustworthy, turning on him publicly. Where was their professional integrity?
Seeing the finger pointed at his location, Dong Lin couldn't help but shift aside.
"Was it one of them? Or all of them?" Yang Wei asked.
"It was that person!" The middle-aged man continued to point at Dong Lin.
As Dong Lin moved, the middle-aged man's finger also moved, inadvertently pinpointing Dong Lin for everyone.
"Don't spout nonsense! Nothing of the sort happened," Dong Lin argued defensively.
"I'm not talking nonsense, I have proof!" the middle-aged man said, pulling out his phone.
He tapped on his phone for a while, and soon, a ringing sound emanated from the consultation room.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and found it was Dong Lin's phone ringing.
"I just made a WeChat call. Do you dare to answer it?" the middle-aged man looked at Dong Lin.
Under Yang Wei's threat, he no longer cared about underground codes. This Yang Wei didn't even fear Cao Yun Tian; if he offended him, he wouldn't be able to get by in Jiang City.
Feeling his phone vibrate in his hand, Dong Lin's face turned ashen.
"It's okay if you don't answer. I have chat records here, which explicitly state you told us to come here and cause trouble, and you even transferred money to me. Take a look yourself!"
As the middle-aged man spoke, he illuminated his phone screen for everyone to see.
At this point, Dong Lin was speechless.
Seeing the situation becoming increasingly awkward, Lin Xiao Tian finally spoke.
"So, does this mean there's no such thing as my treatment causing problems?" Lin Xiao Tian looked at the middle-aged man.
"Of course not! We were all instructed by someone!" the middle-aged man nodded frantically.
"That's good!"
After Lin Xiao Tian spoke, he glanced at Yang Wei.
Yang Wei immediately understood that Lin Xiao Tian didn't want to escalate the situation. He then patted the middle-aged man in front of him.
"Let's go! How long do you plan to cause trouble here?"
"Heh heh! Sorry, thank you, Doctor Lin. You're a magnanimous person. I promise I won't make such a mistake again next time."
Amidst the middle-aged man's apologies, the consultation room returned to its peaceful state.
The inspection team exchanged glances, unsure of what to do next.
Meanwhile, Su Qing Lan's face was also ashen.
She hadn't expected that the Dong family, a lineage of physicians, would produce a child like Dong Lin.
Thinking of what would happen to the National Medical Hall after Old Dong's passing, entrusting it to someone like this made Su Qing Lan worried.
However, no matter how outrageous Dong Lin's actions were, Su Qing Lan had no intention of scolding him publicly. After all, he was the sole heir of the Dong family, and as an outsider, she shouldn't interfere too much.
"Sit down!" Su Qing Lan sighed.
Dong Lin's face turned beet red, and he could only obediently sit down.
For the rest of the time, Lin Xiao Tian continued to see a few more patients. As their problems were not particularly severe, Lin Xiao Tian simply prescribed medication and sent them away.
Soon, the lunch break arrived, and Lin Xiao Tian stopped calling the next patients.
"Everyone, that's all for the morning. We'll continue this afternoon," Lin Xiao Tian said in a calm tone.
"Wait!"
At that moment, Su Qing Lan suddenly called out to Lin Xiao Tian.
"I heard you know the technique of 'Jīnzhēn Dùxué' (Golden Needle Passing Through Acupoints). Could you show us?"
Lin Xiao Tian sneered.
So, Su Qing Lan had been waiting for this moment without expressing any opinions.
Lin Xiao Tian nodded.
"However, there are no patients now. Let me see if there's anyone from other departments."
"No need. Use me as the subject!"
Everyone present was stunned.
"Absolutely not! Elder Su, what is your status? If something goes wrong, we cannot bear the responsibility!"
"Lin Xiao Tian does know 'Jīnzhēn Dùxué', but as you and I both know, this technique carries immense risks. If Lin Xiao Tian makes a mistake, the outcome would be no different from a failed surgical operation, and it could be fatal!"
"Elder Su, this is not permissible. If anything happens to you, your family will not forgive me." Dong Lin also chimed in to dissuade her.
But Su Qing Lan waved her hand, interrupting them.
"Xiao Tian, is it possible?"
Looking at Su Qing Lan's resolute face, Lin Xiao Tian couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
"Yes!"
Upon hearing Lin Xiao Tian's reply, Dong Lin became displeased.
"What do you mean 'yes'? Lin Xiao Tian, what are your intentions?"
"Exactly! Lin Xiao Tian, have you gone mad? This is Elder Su. If something happens, can you take responsibility?" The other doctors also berated Lin Xiao Tian.
Lin Xiao Tian did not answer them but glanced at Su Qing Lan.
As if understanding Lin Xiao Tian's meaning, Su Qing Lan then said:
"This is my personal wish. If anything happens, it has nothing to do with Lin Xiao Tian!"
"Elder Su..."
"My mind is made up!"
Su Qing Lan insisted on testing Lin Xiao Tian's 'Jīnzhēn Dùxué', and the others had no choice.
Following that, Su Qing Lan walked up to Lin Xiao Tian.
"Young man, let me witness your needlework!"
Lin Xiao Tian looked down and met Su Qing Lan's bright eyes.
