Chapter 585: Chapter 585

But of course, Lin Fan couldn’t honestly tell him and could only explain in general terms that under normal circumstances, this kind of medicinal herb is indeed hard to come by.

Moreover, Lin Fan didn’t know this uncle, who was likely poisoned by someone. This could be a muddy situation, and Lin Fan had no intention of getting involved in someone else’s mess.

The middle-aged uncle was delighted: "Thank you, Divine Doctor Lin. If I truly find it, it’s a blessing. If not, it’s my fate. In any case, I must thank Divine Doctor Lin. This illness has troubled me for a long time, and finally, I have an answer here. Even if I die, I’ll die with understanding."

Lin Fan said, "Uncle, leave your phone number. If I discover that kind of medicinal herb, I’ll let you know."

The middle-aged uncle then left a phone number, stood up, and prepared to leave.

"Today I rushed over in a hurry and didn’t even have time to use the bathroom. Can I borrow yours?" the middle-aged uncle asked.

Lin Fan replied, "Go ahead."

The middle-aged uncle went into the bathroom.

Liu Zixing leaned close to Lin Fan and whispered, "Lin Fan, are you really planning to go to the mountains to help the uncle find that kind of herb?"

Lin Fan said, "Maybe, let’s see if I have time."

Liu Zixing said, "Go ahead, I’ll go with you. The more people, the better the chance. I think the uncle is quite pitiful, let’s help him."

Lin Fan smiled and said, "You seem quite concerned about this uncle."

Liu Zixing said, "Because I feel the uncle is a good person. I don’t know why, but he just gives me that feeling."

Lin Fan laughed and said, "Maybe you’re right. This uncle is definitely no ordinary person; a person’s aura doesn’t lie."

As they spoke, they suddenly heard the sound of a car outside, and a black Mercedes drove up to the clinic.

Liu Zixing chuckled and said, "Lin Fan, it looks like your reputation has really spread. Someone else is here seeking your medical expertise, and it’s someone wealthy this time."

Lin Fan sighed. He possessed top-tier medical skills and could indeed cure illnesses, including those others couldn’t. But if his future job meant seeing patients every day, it would be pretty boring.

What Lin Fan wanted more was to return to Yun City and continue completing the main tasks of the system, turning Mortal Group into a trillion-dollar commercial empire.

In the future, being a doctor would only be his sideline.

"If you want to seek medical expertise, you’d better hurry up. Once Old Liu returns, I should leave too," Lin Fan said.

Upon hearing this, Liu Zixing couldn’t help but feel a bit downcast. If she could, she’d wish Lin Fan would stay here forever, but she knew that was impossible. Lin Fan was only temporarily standing in for her father.

At this moment, the Mercedes stopped outside, and a middle-aged man with a large belly got out of the car. Then a middle-aged man in a suit followed him into the clinic.

The middle-aged man looked around, his gaze falling on Lin Fan, and laughed, "This must be the renowned Divine Doctor Lin. My name is Li Gang, I’m the District Chief of the North District of Tianhai City. Divine Doctor Lin, you should have heard of me from my daughter, right?"

Liu Zixing was taken aback. So this was Li Gang, the Li Gang bragged about by that unruly girl who always said, "My dad is Li Gang"!

The unruly girl was chased off by Lin Fan, and now Li Gang himself had come. Could he be here to cause trouble?

"So it’s District Chief Li. What guidance does District Chief Li have?" Lin Fan smiled.

Li Gang saw Lin Fan’s calm expression, not even standing to greet him after learning of his identity, and couldn’t help but frown. This Divine Doctor Lin was indeed arrogant!

"Today, my daughter came by and wanted to invite Divine Doctor Lin to help treat my father. But Divine Doctor Lin chased her away, so I made a point to come over," Li Gang said.

This District Chief might be here to stir trouble.

Liu Zixing said, "What do you mean by chased away? She was too rude and tried to forcibly take Lin Fan away. We were just forced to fight back."

Li Gang said, "My daughter might have been in the wrong. Divine Doctor Lin, considering my position, would you come with me to the city to see my father?"

Lin Fan replied, "I’m sorry, the clinic is already closed for the day."

What Lin Fan meant was that he had no intention of going to the city with Li Gang. Based on that unruly girl’s behavior, Lin Fan wouldn’t go for a consultation.

Li Gang felt a bit embarrassed. As a District Chief coming in person, and Lin Fan still wouldn’t give him face.

This Lin Fan was too unaware of the world. In Tianhai City, who didn’t show face to Li Gang? Just a village doctor, daring not to!

"Divine Doctor Lin, you really don’t plan to come with me? I hope Divine Doctor Lin will reconsider. Although Divine Doctor Lin may have remarkable medical skills, after all, you are young and may not understand other aspects enough..."

He carried a vague hint of threat.

Though Lin Fan’s medical skills were good, he didn’t know his limits. If he offended Li Gang, he wouldn’t fare well.

Lin Fan indeed sensed it and chuckled, "District Chief Li, if I don’t agree to treat your father, are you going to build a public toilet at my doorstep?"

Li Gang was momentarily stunned: "Build a public toilet?"

He didn’t get the joke. It came from when the village chief, offended by Lin Fan, wanted to retaliate by constructing a public restroom in front of Lin Fan’s house.

What Lin Fan implied was whether District Chief Li would also seek revenge if he didn’t agree.

Li Gang then chuckled, "I’m here to seek medical expertise. If Divine Doctor Lin doesn’t agree, there’s nothing I can do. Although I do have some influence in the city, Divine Doctor Lin can rest assured I won’t do anything."

Lin Fan responded, "That’s good. Then, please yourself, District Chief Li. Zi Xin, please see our guest out. We’re closed for the day; I want to go home."

Li Gang almost spat in frustration. He thought he had hinted clearly enough that he had influence in the city and could easily trouble Lin Fan if he didn’t agree. Lin Fan wouldn’t even know who was behind it!

But Lin Fan seemed oblivious and actually issued a dismissal order!

Li Gang said, "Divine Doctor Lin, it’s rare for me to come by. I sincerely hope Divine Doctor Lin accompanies me. I won’t mistreat you. If Divine Doctor Lin doesn’t want to, I won’t force it, but I do think it’s best if you come with me." Read complete versıon only at 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⁂𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⁂𝕟𝕖𝕥

Lin Fan could understand Li Gang’s underlying message, yet he was unafraid of Li Gang.

Soldiers come, block with generals; water rises, cover with earth. Lin Fan didn’t provoke trouble, but he also didn’t fear it.

If District Chief Li decided to retaliate over this, Lin Fan had ways to handle it.

This District Chief Li didn’t apologize for his daughter’s behavior, instead using his status to pressure Lin Fan.

This was precisely why Lin Fan didn’t want to deal with him.

"I’m sorry, District Chief Li. The clinic is closed for the day. If you’re still seeking medical help, please come back tomorrow," Lin Fan smiled.

District Chief Li felt a tinge of anger. This Lin Fan showed no face and acted oblivious. It seemed he had to be more explicit.

"Divine Doctor Lin, I hope you understand..."

District Chief Li began, but suddenly, he saw the middle-aged uncle coming out of the bathroom.

They locked eyes and both froze.

District Chief Li blurted out, "Secretary! You, how are you here?"

District Chief Li was shocked. This middle-aged uncle was the Party Secretary of Tianhai City, and he happened to meet the Secretary here!
