Looking at the information on his phone, Lin Xiao Tian finally understood why Butler Xu had reacted that way.
It turned out that Uncle was his former competitor.
There were many competitors during Butler Xu's era, but in the end, only Uncle managed to fight with Butler Xu until the very end and survive.
Butler Xu was known as the number one in Qingzhou, and Uncle, deserving of the title, became the second.
However, this second place did not fare well.
Ever since the Lin family rose to power, Uncle, having backed the wrong side, naturally suffered suppression.
Not only did he spend several years in prison, but his wife also left him. After his release, he couldn't even find a job.
Currently, Uncle's main work was as a laborer on construction sites, but he also had to care for his two children, one of whom suffered from congenital heart disease, making his life quite difficult.
Lin Xiao Tian looked at the information before him and pondered.
Currently, it could be confirmed that Uncle had no connection with Cao Yun Tian and the others and could be trusted.
He intended to deal with Cao Yun Tian in the future, but he lacked experience relying solely on himself.
Uncle, however, was different. He could go toe-to-toe with Butler Xu, so his experience must be vast, and his character was also good. With his help, Lin Xiao Tian would have a much better chance of dealing with Cao Yun Tian.
Of course, the most crucial point was that Butler Xu could not control him!
Besides Cao Yun Tian, his future enemies also included Jiang Li, the young master of the Jiang Group. These individuals were all connected to Butler Xu to some extent. To confront them, he needed at least one or two people who Butler Xu couldn't control.
Uncle was undoubtedly the best candidate.
While he was lost in thought, a knock suddenly sounded at the door.
"Please come in."
Immediately after, a petite figure walked in through the main entrance, it was Xiao Yi, the nurse who had assisted Lin Xiao Tian with the emergency treatment that morning.
"Dr. Lin, are you ready? They're about to start calling numbers," Xiao Yi reminded him.
Lin Xiao Tian finally came to his senses, realizing it was already work hours.
"Sorry, I got distracted. I'm ready," Lin Xiao Tian said with a slight smile.
Looking at Lin Xiao Tian's approachable demeanor, Xiao Yi's good impression of him grew.
Compared to other doctors at the National Medical Hall, doctors as polite as Lin Xiao Tian were almost a rare commodity.
Xiao Yi gave Lin Xiao Tian a sweet smile and then left the consulting room. Lin Xiao Tian looked at his queue number. Besides the normal appointments, there were several additional slots, clearly for people with connections.
However, Lin Xiao Tian didn't mind these. To him, it was a doctor's duty to heal people, and it didn't matter if it was a bit more tiring.
Thus, a busy afternoon passed.
"Dr. Lin, thank you so much. My mother has suffered from chronic stomach pain for years, and it started hurting again yesterday. I never expected that after your acupuncture, the pain would disappear. You are truly a divine doctor!" the young man repeatedly expressed his gratitude.
The person speaking was the same young man who had been calling Lin Xiao Tian a liar that morning. However, after witnessing Lin Xiao Tian's skills, he was completely won over.
"I dare not accept the title of divine doctor!" Lin Xiao Tian replied politely. "Gastric problems are stubborn illnesses. Acupuncture is only a symptomatic treatment; it doesn't address the root cause. You must take the medicine I prescribed on time to achieve a complete cure."
Seeing Lin Xiao Tian's patient explanation, the young man's face flushed with shame.
"Dr. Lin, please don't take what happened this morning to heart. I was too impulsive. If I had known you were such a divine doctor, I would never have done those wrong things."
"Yes! Dr. Lin, my son was just young and impulsive. Please be understanding!" the aunt beside him added.
"It's alright, I understand," Lin Xiao Tian said with a gentle smile.
"By the way, Dr. Lin, I noticed you're still taking taxis. You haven't bought a car yet, right?" the young man continued to ask.
Lin Xiao Tian nodded. "Why do you ask?"
"Are you thinking of buying a car? I work in car sales. If you need anything, feel free to contact me. I guarantee you the best value for your money." The young man then handed Lin Xiao Tian a business card.
Lin Xiao Tian took the card and looked at it. "Sihai Auto Sales, Manager, Chen Di!"
"You, child! The doctor is treating us, and you're still thinking about your commission. How rude!" The young man's mother immediately scolded him.
"Ah! Mom, this isn't about my commission. I'm worried Dr. Lin might get cheated when buying a car. I know a bit about cars, so I thought I could help," Chen Di said with a helpless shrug.
Seeing that the mother and son were starting to argue, Lin Xiao Tian quickly intervened.
"Actually, I was just thinking of buying a car."
"Really? That's perfect! Dr. Lin, let's add each other on WeChat. Don't worry, I, Chen Di, guarantee you the best value for your money."
They chatted for a while longer, and when Lin Xiao Tian saw that it was getting late, he bid farewell to Chen Di and his mother.
In the evening, Lin Xiao Tian had to stay on duty.
Although Xu Qing He had given Lin Xiao Tian flexible working hours, as a compromise, he had to work full days when he was on duty.
Lin Xiao Tian reported his safety to Qin Yu Xiang. Seeing that it wasn't yet time for his shift, he took the opportunity to go out.
About ten minutes later, Lin Xiao Tian reached his destination.
Before him was an old residential area. There wasn't even a security guard at the entrance. Lin Xiao Tian walked into one or two alleys and encountered several homeless people. Seeing Lin Xiao Tian, who was clean and tidy, they eyed him from time to time.
In front of some houses in the residential area, pink lights emanated, and there were quite a few provocatively dressed women standing by the roadside. Lin Xiao Tian didn't need to think to know what they were doing.
Lin Xiao Tian walked further inside and then started searching by house number.
"Number 108? The house number is rotten, but judging by the appearance, it should be here, right?" Lin Xiao Tian glanced at the house number above and then knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" a husky voice came from inside.
"It's me, Lin Xiao Tian."
"Dr. Lin?" The voice inside faltered, and the door was suddenly opened.
"Dr. Lin, what are you doing here so late at night?" Uncle asked, looking at Lin Xiao Tian in surprise.
"I came to find you," Lin Xiao Tian replied calmly.
Hearing Lin Xiao Tian's answer, Uncle was taken aback. He clearly hadn't expected Lin Xiao Tian to find him.
"How did you find me?"
"Butler Xu told me you were here," Lin Xiao Tian answered truthfully.
"Butler Xu?" Uncle frowned. "Xu Xiao?"
Lin Xiao Tian nodded, neither confirming nor denying.
Looking at Lin Xiao Tian, who appeared calm, Uncle fell silent for a while.
"Come in!" he sighed.
