The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Lin Guofa sneered, "Is he the Little Miracle Doctor? More like a 'Little Charlatan' if you ask me."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuqing giggled.
"Sir, before you understand someone, please refrain from making such distasteful conclusions," Tang Guihua said sternly.
"He's just a boy, how can he be the Little Miracle Doctor? I've been feeling unwell these past few days, treat me first. Come on. After you've treated me, then you can treat my sister," Lin Guofa said with disdain.
His intention was clear—if Luo Yang failed to gain his trust, he was going to make him regret it.
"I will take your pulse," Luo Yang stood up.
A maid brought over a half-meter-tall stool, and Luo Yang sat down and solemnly took Lin Guofa's pulse. After a while, he said, "You have severe kidney weakness, caused by an overly indulgent nightlife. Please moderate your sexual activities, or else if drained completely, you'll drop dead."
Lin Guofa blushed to his ears at these words. He had plans to court Tang Guihua, and Luo Yang's blunt diagnosis could undoubtedly give her a bad impression of him.
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Lin Guofa jumped up, glaring at Luo Yang.
"Mr. Lin, you wanted me to diagnose you, and now you're unhappy when I speak of your illness? If you knew this would be the case, why bother asking in the first place," Luo Yang sneered.
In the face of the young master of the Lin Family, Luo Yang remained unfazed.
Ever since he'd acquired True Qi, he had grown much more confident.
"Motherfucker! Are you asking for a beating?!" Lin Guofa's voice grew louder and more strident, his eyes bulging like bells.
At this moment, two muscular bodyguards quickly approached from a side door, blocking Luo Yang's retreat and staring at him coldly, ready to follow their employer's command.
Luo Yang remained calm.
He glanced sideways, thinking that if Lin Guofa were to make a move, he would create a huge scene at the Lin Family home. It was all or nothing—he would go big or go home.
Tang Guihua turned pale with fright, not expecting things to escalate like this. She said with a trembling voice, "Luo Yang, let's go."
Just as Luo Yang was about to leave, Lin Yuqing called out, "Don't go. Wait a moment."
Then, she took Lin Guofa's arm and walked to a corner of the living room, whispering, "Third brother, he came to treat me, why are you so angry?"
Lin Guofa snorted, "Didn't you hear what he said?"
Lin Yuqing had come to believe in Luo Yang after hearing his diagnosis. She knew about Lin Guofa's rich nightlife.
"Third brother, doesn't this prove that his medical skills are excellent? I'm still waiting for him to treat my illness. For my sake, can't you just let this go for today?" Lin Yuqing batted her large eyes, looking pitiful.
Lin Guofa thought that sparing Luo Yang for now was not a loss; he could also use this opportunity to exchange a few words with Tang Guihua. So he nodded.
The siblings returned to the others, and Lin Yuqing said, "We misunderstood you because you're so young, we thought it impossible for you to possess such advanced medical knowledge. My third brother is just hot-tempered, but once his wrath subsides, everything is fine."
Then, turning to face Lin Guofa, she added, "Third brother, let's end this matter here, okay?"
Lin Guofa reluctantly nodded, "You need to control your mouth, don't always speak without restraint. Even if you can help people with their illnesses, you shouldn't speak so rudely."
He was saying this entirely to salvage his image, glancing at Tang Guihua as he spoke.
Zhang Ruotao waved her hand, and the two muscular bodyguards withdrew.
Everyone took their seats again, but the atmosphere remained somewhat strained.
Knowing that Lin Guofa's presence was the reason, Lin Yuqing said, "Third brother, didn't you say you wanted to listen to some new songs?"
Lin Guofa clearly understood his sister's hint and stood up, walking over to Tang Guihua. He spoke softly, "Doctor Tang, may I have your phone number? I would like to consult you for treatment in the future."
Tang Guihua declined politely, "I'm about to open a clinic. If you want to see a doctor, please come to the clinic then."
It must be known that Lin Guofa was a well-known rich second-generation in Hongyun Town. Excluding his two bushy eyebrows which weren't very pleasing to the eye, he was truly a handsome fellow. Anytime he asked for a girl's phone number in Hongyun Town, they would comply without hesitation. Accustomed to success outside, he never expected to capsize in the gutter right at his doorstep.
Lin Guofa's facial muscles stiffened, and his smile gradually vanished as he thought fiercely, "Reject me?! Just you wait! After I get her in my grasp, I'll show her what pain is. Make her wish she was dead!"
Displeased inside, he forced a smile and said, "That won't stop you from treating my sister. If there's anything you need help with, feel free to ask me anytime."
Having said this, he went upstairs, entered his room, and attended to his business.
Shortly afterward, the maid brought up tea.
Once the maid had left, Zhang Ruotao asked, "Can fibroids be completely cured? How much will you charge?"
Feeling annoyed, Luo Yang responded indifferently, "Of course they can be completely cured. Considering we're all from the same hometown, I'll charge 100,000 yuan."
Upon hearing this, Tang Guihua thought to herself, "Oh no! I told Lin Yuqing the cost would be 10,000 yuan. Now that he's saying 100,000, she will surely have objections."
As expected, Zhang Ruotao countered, "Doctor Tang said it would only be 10,000 yuan. How did it become 100,000 now?"
Luo Yang adapted to the situation and said, "The 10,000 yuan treatment doesn't include completely curing it. Treating for 10 courses, that's not 100,000 yuan?"
This blunt statement left Zhang Ruotao speechless with irritation, but she had no choice but to bear it.
"No problem, as long as you can cure my illness, I will give you 100,000 yuan," Lin Yuqing said, gently caressing the fat cat in her hand.
"I have a rule when treating people. I collect the money first, then proceed with the treatment. Thank you for cooperating," Luo Yang said with a smile.
Lin Yuqing's face suddenly darkened, and she thought angrily, "Does this young man have the gall of a leopard? He can't possibly be unaware of the Lin Family's power. Perhaps he has the life to take the money, but not to spend it."
After pondering for a moment, she said coldly, "Giving you the money isn't a problem, but let me put it ugly up front. If you're just trying to scam money, do you know what the consequences will be?"
Luo Yang shook his head, "I don't need to know the consequences."
"Young man, you are a calf unafraid of tigers, unaware of how severe the consequences can be. Let me tell you then..."
"If I can cure your illness, that's all that matters. What use is knowing the consequences? Am I right?"
Although Lin Yuqing prided herself on being articulate, she was at a loss for words at that moment. She moved her lips several times but couldn't find the right words to strike back.
Finally, she let out a cold snort, "Fine! Give me your bank account number!"
Luo Yang looked at Tang Guihua and said, "Sister Guihua, give her your bank account number."
Immediately, Tang Guihua did as instructed.
A short while later, her phone received a notification from the bank. She opened it and handed the phone to Luo Yang to see.
The bank notification showed that 100,000 yuan had been deposited into the account.
"You've taken the money. Young man, it's your turn to demonstrate your medical skills," Lin Yuqing said, venting her frustration as she placed the phone on the sofa.
"Alright, I'll start by taking your pulse," Luo Yang said.
After checking her pulse, Luo Yang had come up with a treatment plan.
"One month of treatment will completely cure the fibroids in your chest," Luo Yang said.
"How will you treat it?" Lin Yuqing asked.
From the moment Luo Yang said he could treat fibroids, she had been paying attention, wondering in her mind: This young man came empty-handed, without any tools a doctor would need. Can he actually cure the illness?
