Chapter 587: Chapter 587

District Chief Li invited renowned doctors to treat his father. They charged anywhere from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, and even after paying, it all went to waste. They just provided some perfunctory excuses, and there was nothing you could do about it. It always felt like getting scammed out of money.

Setting aside Lin Fan’s outrageous joke earlier, Lin Fan actually only collected 500 yuan for compensation. He truly represents the conscience of the medical community!

"Divine Doctor Lin, you see I’ve apologized and paid the compensation, I wonder..." District Chief Li said with a sheepish smile, thinking that this would persuade Lin Fan to treat his father.

But who would have thought!

Lin Fan calmly said, "Sure, I’ll pass this compensation to Aunt Chunyu. Please feel free, District Chief Li, I won’t see you out."

District Chief Li was both angry and anxious. Wasn’t Lin Fan just playing with him? He had paid and apologized, yet Lin Fan still refused to help! Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚫𝙣𝙚𝙩

"Divine Doctor Lin, what exactly will it take for you to help treat my father? Do I need to kneel and beg you?" District Chief Li nearly cried.

"Secretary Ma, please say a few good words for me. My daughter was indeed at fault for offending Divine Doctor Lin this time, but my father truly needs treatment." District Chief Li continued to seek Secretary Ma’s help.

Since they had come to him, it wouldn’t be right for Secretary Ma to say nothing.

Secretary Ma reluctantly said, "Divine Doctor Lin, if you find it convenient, perhaps you could help Elder Li with his illness. Even though Xiaoli is a bit headstrong and unlikable, Elder Li is an old revolutionary who has contributed to the nation. For my sake, I hope Divine Doctor Lin can assist."

Secretary Ma was also quite nervous, as Lin Fan had just promised earlier to find herbs that could be used to extract an antidote for him. If they upset Lin Fan and he decided not to search anymore, Secretary Ma’s life might be at risk too.

Yet Lin Fan didn’t hesitate, smilingly saying, "Since Secretary Ma has asked, I have no reason not to help. Alright, I’ll go take a look."

District Chief Li was both shocked and delighted; Lin Fan actually agreed. He was overwhelmed with relief!

Just moments ago, he was quite agitated, but suddenly, he could only feel gratitude towards Lin Fan. Wasn’t this classic? Lin Fan gave a candy after a smack.

Secretary Ma also felt quite relieved. Lin Fan acted on his behalf to help District Chief Li, which not only made Secretary Ma appear influential but also earned a personal favor from District Chief Li, which would surely be repaid in the future.

Instantly, Secretary Ma admired Lin Fan even more. This young man was truly extraordinary. Not only was he skilled in medicine, his skill of manipulating people was on par with seasoned political veterans.

"Divine Doctor Lin, my car is outside. Please, Divine Doctor Lin, get in," District Chief Li respectfully said.

However, Lin Fan said, "I will go help the old gentleman, but it’s really not possible today—it’s too late. How about I visit the city tomorrow?"

District Chief Li naturally wished Lin Fan would go immediately, but given Lin Fan’s decision, he couldn’t force it. Actually, having Lin Fan agree was already quite good.

"Alright, then I’ll send someone to pick up Divine Doctor Lin first thing tomorrow morning?" District Chief Li said.

Lin Fan said, "No need. Just give me the address. I’ll head over myself tomorrow—I have a car."

District Chief Li said, "Alright, thank you, Divine Doctor Lin."

Then, District Chief Li took his leave. This visit wasn’t in vain after all, successfully inviting Lin Fan. The previous unpleasantness meant nothing now, and District Chief Li was just excited.

Secretary Ma also left shortly after.

Only Lin Fan and Liu Zixing were left in the clinic.

Liu Zixing curiously asked, "Lin Fan, do you have plans tonight? Why not go to the city with District Chief Li?"

Lin Fan said, "I promised Aunt Chunyu to have dinner at her place. I promised when I returned, and tonight is the first chance I got."

Liu Zixing was amazed; it turns out having dinner at Aunt Chunyu’s was more important than treating the district chief’s father!

"Enough talking, let’s pack up and close. I have to go; Aunt Chunyu mentioned they might slaughter a chicken tonight," Lin Fan said, salivating.

Liu Zixing said, "Alright, you go ahead. I’ll close up myself."

Lin Fan nodded, got up, and was about to leave.

Just then, the door of the clinic was kicked open, and Wang Goudan rushed in with a bunch of hooligans.

The scene terrified Liu Zixing, making her lose her composure.

"What do you want?" Liu Zixing exclaimed.

Wang Goudan was the village bully of West River Village. Last time, he tried to harass Liu Zixing while Old Liu was away, but Lin Fan taught him a lesson. Lin Fan even played a trick on Wang Goudan, claiming that he was poisoned, scaring him out of his wits. Lin Fan gave Wang Goudan medicine, which turned out to be a laxative, charging Wang Goudan 3000 yuan.

After returning home, Wang Goudan took the laxatives for several days, nearly collapsing from dehydration. The more he thought about it, the more wrong it felt. So he took the laxatives to someone and discovered that Lin Fan had tricked him.

He wasn’t poisoned at all!

Lin Fan had deceitfully claimed he was poisoned, gave him laxatives, and of course, he couldn’t stop having diarrhea!

Wang Goudan was furious, feeling humiliated as the village bully, tricked by Lin Fan. How could he swallow this?

So, he gathered a group of hooligans to confront Lin Fan.

"You, Lin Fan, dare to fool me! Today I’ll teach you the meaning of pain!" Wang Goudan said angrily.

"This kid actually dared to trick Big Dog, he’s got a lot of nerve."

"That’s right, I say we should teach him a good lesson today, give him a beating to knock some sense into him!"

"And this chick? Let the brothers have some fun?"

The hooligans laughed loudly.

Liu Zixing despised these village hooligans the most. They were idle, causing trouble, and doing sneaky and dishonest acts, giving the village a headache. The girls in the village especially hated them because they often faced harassment from these hooligans.

Today, under Wang Goudan’s rally, these hooligans actually showed up together.

Wang Goudan seemed to have forgotten the lesson Lin Fan gave him last time, but it didn’t matter because he had brought a group of people with him this time, confident that Lin Fan couldn’t handle them all!

"Lin Fan, you dared to give me laxatives, nearly dehydrating me, damn you!" Wang Goudan cursed.

Lin Fan couldn’t help but laugh. Tricking Wang Goudan last time and giving him laxatives was truly brilliant.

"You’re still laughing; today, you’ll see if you can still laugh after I tear this place apart!" Wang Goudan ordered.

The group of hooligans prepared to take action.

Lin Fan shook his head and said, "Wang Goudan, you’re just a fool!"

Lin Fan actually dared to call Big Dog a fool?

Wang Goudan angrily replied, "What do you mean?"

Lin Fan said, "I gave you laxatives, and yes, it’s not just any ordinary laxative, it could have dehydrated you to death."

Wang Goudan said angrily, "You admitted it, you bastard admitted it, attack, hit him hard!"

Lin Fan said, "Fool! I gave you laxatives to save your damn life! Instead of showing gratitude, you come to break things, what a fool!"

They froze; the hooligans paused.

What was this? Giving Big Dog laxatives was to save Big Dog? What kind of reasoning is this?

Wang Goudan was also confused: "Lin Fan, what do you mean, explain clearly!"
