"What do you mean by that!"
The patient slammed his fist on the table and grabbed Jiang Lingfu by the collar: "I'll be arrogant this time!"
"My name is Long Tao. Does that mean I can't be arrogant?"
One of the apprentices suddenly realized: "Isn't Long Tao an officer of the Shanhai Chamber of Commerce? You are Long Tao of the Shanhai Chamber of Commerce?"
"Kid, you're pretty smart! What's your name?"
While holding Jiang Lingfu, Long Tao asked the apprentice.
The apprentice, beaming with delight, said ingratiatingly, "Brother Long, my name is Pan Tuping."
"There are still some sensible people in this little clinic."
Long Tao turned and glared at Jiang Lingfu, secretly increasing the pressure on his hand.
"Just because I'm an officer of the Mountain and Sea Chamber of Commerce, does that mean I can't be arrogant?"
"If you know what's good for you, hurry up and get medical treatment. If you don't, I'll smash up your clinic!"
"Incurable!" Jiang Lingfu said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Young Master Jiang, stop being so stubborn. A wise person knows when to yield!"
After Pan Tuping finished speaking, he noticed the strange looks from those around him, and lowered his voice again: "I'm doing this for the good of Jishetang..."
Jiang Lingfu, filled with grief and resentment, gritted his teeth and looked at Pan Tuping, saying, "You can save me if you want, but I won't!"
Pan Tuping shook his head: "I'll save them!"
Before Pan Tuping could finish speaking, Long Tao snapped, "You're finished!"
Long Tao forcibly pulled Jiang Lingfu from the other side of the table to his side.
At the same moment, he raised his hand to slap Jiang Lingfu across the face.
Jiang Lingfu closed his eyes tightly, waiting for this undeserved calamity to befall him.
After a few seconds, nothing happened, and Jiang Lingfu couldn't help but squint to check the situation.
Jiang Lingfu saw Lin Fan standing behind Long Tao, tightly gripping Long Tao's raised right hand.
Jiang Lingfu was startled: "Brother Fan, don't be impulsive! He's here for me, it has nothing to do with you!"
But the next moment, Jiang Lingfu realized that the situation was not as he had thought.
He saw that Long Tao looked pained, and Long Tao slowly loosened his grip on his collar with his left hand.
Lin Fan was actually able to suppress Long Tao? That's a member of the Mountain and Sea Merchant Alliance, a martial artist at the fifth level of Body Refinement.
"Still want treatment?" Lin Fan asked coldly.
"No, I won't get treatment anymore. I'll go somewhere else to get treatment."
Long Tao struggled to break free but to no avail, and felt as if his right hand was broken.
The other party was gripping too tightly and with too much strength.
I never expected that a small, run-down traditional Chinese medicine clinic would have martial arts practitioners.
Once we get out, I'm definitely going to bring some people to smash it up, to vent my anger!
Long Tao was determined in his heart, but he uttered the most cowardly words:
"Big brother, spare me! I shouldn't have been so arrogant. It's all my fault. Let go of my hand and I'll leave right now!"
Everyone was pleasantly surprised, as they hadn't expected Lin Fan to not only have exceptional medical skills but also be so powerful in martial arts.
Pan Tuping was the only one with a livid face. He had thought he could climb the social ladder, but Lin Fan had cut off his chance, and he had become an oddity in the clinic.
Choosing the wrong side was extremely embarrassing, and he couldn't stay at Jishetang anymore.
"roll!"
As Lin Fan let go, he also kicked Long Tao in the back.
Long Tao flew three or four meters away and landed face-first in the dirt. His arrogance vanished with the fall.
Long Tao got up and limped to the front of Jishetang. Even stepping over the threshold was difficult for this martial artist who had reached the fifth level of body refinement.
"You have mid-stage stomach cancer. Go to the hospital as soon as possible; there's still hope."
Lin Fan then said meaningfully, "You missed the chance to cure your illness for 20 yuan, so go ahead and spend hundreds of thousands. You're not short of money anyway."
Kill people and kill your heart.
Long Tao's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly left, supporting himself.
"You should leave too. Jishetang doesn't need someone like you," Jiang Lingfu sighed, closing his eyes.
As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes turned to Pan Tuping.
Pan Tuping's smile twisted, and tears welled up in his eyes: "I... I did it for the good of the clinic! That's the Shan Hai Chamber of Commerce!"
"Did you guys know beforehand that Brother Fan could beat Long Tao? If Brother Fan hadn't been there, and I hadn't stood up for Young Master Jiang, he might have been the one getting beaten up!"
After Pan Tuping finished speaking, he glanced at everyone, but no one responded; they were all bowing their heads and sighing.
"Young Master Jiang, do you really want me to leave? I've been with you the longest!" Pan Tuping said aggrievedly.
Jiang Lingfu closed his eyes tightly, half of his face trembling: "You have wicked intentions, our Jishetang can no longer keep you here!"
"But······"
Pan Tuping's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he gave a wry smile: "Alright, I'm leaving! See you later!"
Jiang Lingfu watched Pan Tuping's departing figure and sighed, "What a pity, such a talented person."
On a sudden impulse, Lin Fan used his Heavenly Eye to look at Pan Tuping and discovered that this man's time had not yet come, and his future prospects were limitless.
At lunchtime, the apprentices ordered takeout from a nearby restaurant and brought it back to Jishetang to eat together.
During the meal, everyone kept talking about the three sets of acupuncture techniques that Lin Fan had taught them, and kept asking Lin Fan for some tips, which Lin Fan answered truthfully.
However, Lin Fan noticed that Su Ruowei didn't seem very happy.
Lin Fan had a feeling he couldn't quite put his finger on, as if Su Ruowei was sulking.
At 1 p.m., Su Ruowei received a call from her secretary, Zhang Ting, saying that the materials for the first phase of the project in the southern business district needed to be delivered and that she needed to come over to sign them.
After saying goodbye, Su Ruowei was about to leave. Lin Fan had intended to take her home, but Zhang Ting drove directly to Jishetang and wanted to take Su Ruowei to the southern business district to inspect the materials.
Lin Fan wanted to go with her, but Su Ruowei repeatedly emphasized that he could only leave work on time.
Left with no other choice, Lin Fan could only slack off at Jishetang while waiting for the end of his shift.
Feeling utterly bored, Lin Fan didn't bother with the patients. Instead, he lay half-reclined in his chair reading, leaving all the patients to Jiang Lingfu.
Lin Fan just wanted to rest, but he ostensibly wanted to give Jiang Lingfu some exercise, and that was indeed the case; Jiang Lingfu's speed in seeing patients had increased considerably.
When he had free time without patients, Jiang Lingfu would study three sets of acupuncture techniques.
Lin Fan kept glancing at his book and then at his watch, waiting to get off work.
"Jiang Lingfu, what time does Jishetang close in the afternoon? Is it on time?" Lin Fan asked, holding a book.
Jiang Lingfu replied, "Yes, Brother Fan, Jishetang's closing time is 6 pm."
Lin Fan frowned: "6 o'clock, can't we change the time?"
“It can be changed. Brother Fan, whatever you want it to be changed to, I’ll do as you say,” Jiang Lingfu said with a smile.
Lin Fan glanced at the time; it was 3:20. "Can we change it to 3:30 to leave work?"
Jiang Lingfu glanced at the time and said awkwardly, "Brother Fan, you can leave anytime you want. I'll keep it a secret if your wife asks."
"Reliable!"
Lin Fan slammed the book shut, stood up, and was wondering if he had left anything behind when the door of Jishetang was kicked open.
After the door was kicked open, two bodyguards in black carried a wheelchair into the Jishetang.
The person sitting in the wheelchair was Huang Shulang.
After Huang Shulang entered, he saw two bodyguards in black carrying Yin Lu into Jishetang.
