Chapter 734: Chapter 734
Hearing Jiang Qian's words, Wang Ke and Zhao Jingxue's expressions changed too, each grabbing a broom and an iron shovel from the yard.
"The person inside, listen up, you're surrounded, come out quickly," Zhao Jingxue commanded, holding the iron shovel with fury.
Lin Chen felt extremely frustrated. It was just a bath, but he was being treated like a bank robber.
At that moment, Li Yuqing also ran out of the house, and seeing the three's stance, her face turned red. "Jingxue sister, he's not a bad person, he's the new doctor we just hired for our clinic," she said.
"What? Doctor?" Jiang Qian was momentarily stunned.
"How does he look like a doctor to me!" exclaimed Jiang Qian, still furious.
Wang Ke suddenly let out a mischievous smile, "Didn't you just catch a glimpse of him without clothes?"
"I did not!" retorted Jiang Qian, feeling downhearted.
However, thinking back to Lin Chen's robust muscles, she had to admit he was quite attractive.
Lin Chen finished his bath and wrapped in a towel, walked out of the bathroom.
Looking at the three beauties staring at him as if he were a monster, Lin Chen gave an awkward smile and said, "Hello, beauties."
Lin Chen was very pleased with the three beauties; each was very pleasing to the eye and their styles were all distinct.
Jiang Qian would be the lolita type, whereas Wang Ke had a more mature vibe, and Zhao Jingxue, at first glance, was definitely a fiery one.
Zhao Jingxue stared at Lin Chen with a serious face and asked, "Your name, gender, age, home address, where you graduated from, and where is your hometown..."
Listening to Zhao Jingxue's barrage of questions gave Lin Chen a sense of speechlessness.
"Sister, are you doing a police residency check or something?" Lin Chen said helplessly.
Zhao Jingxue snorted, "You got it right, I am a police officer. We have to be responsible for Yuqing. What if you are a wanted criminal?"
Lin Chen nodded: "Okay, I can tolerate all the other questions, but gender? Do you really think I look feminine? Do you need me to drop my trousers and verify it for you?"
Zhao Jingxue's cheeks reddened. "I am a police officer, so you better behave. Other than your gender, confess everything else honestly," she said.
At this moment, Li Yuqing said with flushed cheeks, "Sister Jingxue, stop it. He's my friend."
Zhao Jingxue looked at Li Yuqing, "Yuqing, you don't understand, there are so many bad people nowadays. Some look decent but are actually big perverts. You're living under the same roof as him; we have to make sure who he is."
"Sister Jingxue, don't worry, I trust that he is not a bad person," Li Yuqing confidently stated.
Just then, the crackling sound of electricity came from the rooftop, and the power went out again. This time they weren't as lucky, and it didn't come back on.
"Come on, why did the power cut out again?"
"I still have a project plan to finish, what am I going to do now?" Wang Ke said, feeling frustrated.
"The TV series I was watching is at its grand finale today!" Jiang Qian said anxiously.
Lin Chen chuckled, "Don't worry, ladies, leave it to me to handle."
With that, Lin Chen headed to the fuse box, found a fuse, and reconnected the broken wire.
Suddenly, the courtyard lit up once more.
Seeing the courtyard bright again, the four girls cheered excitedly.
It was summer; without electricity, they couldn't turn on the air conditioning, which would be a very sorry situation indeed.
With Lin Chen bringing the light back for the beauties, their doubts about him were also dispelled.
Lin Chen successfully passed the test and became a member of the courtyard.
Back in his room, Li Yuqing quickly fell into slumber.
Regrettably, the girl did not have the habit of sleeping in the nude.
After she fell asleep, Lin Chen opened WeChat.
"Jin Long, do you have any news about the Life Flower?" Lin Chen sent a message to Jin Long.
The response came swiftly: "The Life Flower is also known as the Emperor's Flower. It is said that he who obtains this flower can become an emperor. The flower blooms every hundred years and this year is precisely its blooming season. Hence, all the major powers desire it. So far, there's no news yet, but we have found that many forces have arrived in Zhonghai, which must surely be related to the Life Flower."
"Okay, got it. Send me a message immediately if there's any news about the Life Flower!" Lin Chen replied with a smiley face.
"Understood, Boss." Jin Long replied.
The next day, Lin Chen was still in the throes of sleep when he was awoken by a knock on the door.
"Lin Chen, it's time to go to work. Dad will go crazy if you're late on the first day."
Lin Chen climbed out of bed, yawned, and once again hopped onto Li Yuqing's electric scooter to head for the clinic.
Upon arriving at the clinic, the duo quickly tidied up the place and prepared to open for business.
Li Fuyou yawned as he emerged from the back room; by his disheveled expression, he clearly hadn't slept well all night.
"Dad, show some restraint and don't watch Island Nation videos every night," Li Yuqing said discontentedly.
"What Island Nation videos? The boss is so mean, share some with us!" Lin Chen's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
"Share my ass, who said I watched those kinds of videos at night? I have been studying medicine, for goodness' sake," Li Fuyou defended himself righteously.
Just then, a Land Rover pulled up at the doorstep.
Lin Chen couldn't help but laugh when he saw the Land Rover, thinking it was a good sign to have business coming in as soon as the clinic opened.
However, upon seeing the Land Rover, Li Fuyou was so scared that he immediately hid inside the house.
"Who is that? Your dad seems really scared of him," Lin Chen curiously asked, noticing Li Fuyou's reaction was like a mouse seeing a cat.
"She is our family's creditor. My dad owes her five hundred thousand and she often comes to press for payment," Li Yuqing whispered.
"So that's how it is!" Lin Chen laughed and nodded.
At that moment, a young man wearing a plaid shirt walked in, bellowing angrily as soon as he entered: "Where is Li Fuyou? Get out here."
Lin Chen greeted him with a cheery smile: "Sir, are you here for medical treatment?"
Zhao Gang glanced at Lin Chen: "Who are you?"
"I'm the new doctor," Lin Chen answered with a beaming smile.
"What would a healthy guy like me be sick with? I'm here to collect a debt. Bring out that old coot, Li Fuyou," Zhao Gang said, fuming.
Lin Chen smiled faintly: "Who says you're not sick? Isn't it true that you go soft as soon as you hit the bed, surrendering within minutes, and are constantly scolded by your wife for being useless?"
Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Zhao Gang's face changed: "How did you know that?"
Lin Chen chuckled: "Of course I know. Not only do I know, but I can also cure it. I guarantee you will regain your vigor and reclaim the confidence of a man."
Zhao Gang scanned Lin Chen skeptically from top to bottom: "Who are you trying to fool? I've been to countless hospitals and consulted numerous experts for this problem, and it's incurable. You, a mere kid, claiming you can treat it? That's a joke."
Lin Chen smiled faintly: "Who says it can't be cured? If you're willing to pay, I can make the illness disappear."
"Hmph, don't try to swindle me; I don't believe you! Now, bring that old coot, Li Fuyou, out here," Zhao Gang snorted coldly.
Just then, Lin Chen suddenly pulled out three silver needles from his pocket and thrust them into Zhao Gang's right foot.
