Chapter 424: Chapter 424: Lin Fei Being Fiercely Criticized
Zheng Guozhu heard about such a miraculous doctor and couldn’t help but feel hopeful. He said, “Dean Cai, do you happen to have the contact number for the director of Huadu Eighth Renmin Hospital?”
Dean Cai replied, “As luck would have it, these past few days there has been a medical exchange conference between Shencheng and Huadu. The directors from the top ten public hospitals in Huadu have all come to Shencheng to participate in the conference.
They haven’t left Shencheng yet and are staying at the Lotus Grand Hotel at the foot of the mountain.
Why don’t I call Dean Zhou from the Third Hospital who is leading the Huadu delegation, and have all the participating directors come here to diagnose Master Zheng?
If they can cure Master Zheng, that would be ideal. If not, these directors from Huadu must know the miraculous doctor who cured the old secretary. We could have them invite the doctor to Shencheng to treat Master Zheng.”
Zheng Guozhu nodded quickly and said to Dean Cai, “Then please help me call the directors from Huadu.”
Just as Dean Cai was about to make the call, Lin Fei cleared his throat and said to Dean Cai, “Dean Cai, actually the miraculous doctor who cured the old secretary isn’t that extraordinary, and Master Zheng’s illness isn’t particularly hard to treat.”
Lin Fei really didn’t want Dean Cai to go through so much hassle to find him for treatment, so he took the initiative to treat Master Zheng himself.
Dean Cai was taken aback, looked at Lin Fei, and asked Zheng Guozhu, “Mr. Zheng, who is this gentleman…?”
Zheng Guozhu also didn’t recognize Lin Fei and looked towards Zheng Wenbin.
Evidently, he assumed Lin Fei was a friend of Zheng Wenbin.
Zheng Wenbin hurriedly said to his father, “He’s a friend of Yutong, said he came to treat grandpa, but I think he’s just a fraud.
And that friend of his, I don’t know what method he used to trick Yutong into liking him.”
He took the opportunity to bring up the matter between Zheng Yutong and Xiao Ling.
Zheng Guozhu and Madam Zheng were surprised upon hearing Zheng Wenbin’s words, and their gaze instantly fell on Xiao Ling.
The couple had always wanted Zheng Yutong to marry into the Liu family, to strengthen the bonds between the two families and count their blessings.
So upon hearing that Zheng Yutong liked Xiao Ling, who looked very unfamiliar and wasn’t from a prominent family in Shencheng, the couple’s faces grew cold.
However, since there were many renowned experts and doctors present, the couple refrained from acting out.
Zheng Guozhu looked at Lin Fei and said, “Young man, Dean Cai and these experts are some of the most famous doctors in Shencheng. Please don’t speak nonsense here.”
“Mr. Zheng is right. That miraculous doctor from Huadu is a legend in South China’s medical community, and this young man is simply ignorant and arrogant to say that the doctor isn’t extraordinary, and that Master Zheng’s illness isn’t hard to treat,” declared Dean Cai indignantly.
“Uncle, I know him. He’s a chief physician at Huadu Third Hospital. Perhaps becoming a chief physician at such a young age has made him prideful and unrestrained, which is why he disregards the miraculous doctor who cured the old secretary. It’s jealousy of the doctor’s skills and fame,” said Long Chen, stepping forward, pointing at Lin Fei with a look of disdain, speaking to Zheng Guozhu.
Dean Cai and the other renowned experts all shook their heads upon hearing Long Chen’s words, saying, “Jealousy of the virtuous, unable to tolerate others.”
“Without learning from those better than yourself, yet being jealous of others’ talents, how can you make greater progress in medicine?”
“Arrogant and ignorant, unlikely to achieve great things.”
Hearing these veteran experts criticize Lin Fei so thoroughly, Long Chen secretly felt pleased.
However, Lin Fei just smiled silently. These experts had just been praising him as a miraculous doctor and a legend in the medical community, but now they so quickly accused him of being jealous and arrogant.
“Wenbin, your grandfather is seriously ill and requires the experts’ full attention for treatment. Outsiders will only disrupt the process. Please escort these two out,” Zheng Guozhu said coldly to Zheng Wenbin.
Zheng Wenbin felt a sense of joy and replied to his father, “Yes, Dad.”
Zheng Yutong, looking anxious, said to her father, “Dad, Lin Fei came to treat grandpa, why not let him take a look?”
However, Zheng Guozhu didn’t look at her and his face only grew darker.
Seeing her husband angry, Madam Zheng immediately said to her daughter, “Yutong, stop making a scene. If Dean Cai and the others are at a loss, how can this unreliable friend of yours possibly treat him?”
After Long Chen’s defamation, Madam Zheng also regarded Lin Fei as an arrogant and ignorant person.
“Yutong, haven’t you realized that these two are frauds?” Zheng Wenbin shook his head at his sister as well.
Zheng Yutong glared at her brother angrily; it was all his doing.
“Wenbin, aren’t you going to escort them out?” Zheng Guozhu’s voice had an edge of severity to it.
Lin Fei shrugged and said to Xiao Ling, “Xiao Ling, let’s just go. If we don’t leave now, we’ll be thrown out.”
“At least you have some self-awareness,” Zheng Wenbin sneered.
Lin Fei and Xiao Ling then walked towards the door, and as they did, Xiao Ling glanced at Zheng Yutong, saw her guilty expression, and gave her a gentle smile to indicate it was okay.
Zheng Wenbin followed Lin Fei and Xiao Ling out.
Once outside the villa, Zheng Wenbin said to Lin Fei and Xiao Ling, “Since you’re here at our Lotus Mountain villa, let me show you the scenery at the back of the mountain.”
Lin Fei didn’t really believe that Zheng Wenbin was so kind-hearted, especially since his grandfather was critically ill at the moment, so Lin Fei thought he must have some scheme in mind.
But he wasn’t afraid.
“Alright, thank you, Young Master Zheng,” Lin Fei said with a smile.
In his eyes, a trace of smugness that was hard to detect flickered in Zheng Wenbin’s eyes: You think I’m really showing you the scenery, later I’ll make you suffer a bit, otherwise you’ll keep pestering Yutong and Liu Wei.
Then, Zheng Wenbin led Lin Fei and Xiao Ling along an asphalt road around the Zheng family’s mid-mountain villa to the back of the mountain.
Lin Fei saw another villa at the back of the mountain, along with a circular plaza paved with marble, around seven to eight meters in diameter.
The edge of the plaza was lined with marble railings, and below lay a deep valley, where a small waterfall cascaded from the mountain into the valley, its sound resonating throughout the valley.
Ten tall men in black clothing, with sharp gazes and formidable auras, stood around the plaza.
As Zheng Wenbin brought Lin Fei and Xiao Ling to the center of the plaza, the ten men in black moved swiftly, instantly surrounding Lin Fei and Xiao Ling, all adopting fighting stances.
Upon seeing this, Lin Fei understood that Zheng Wenbin’s invitation to view the scenery was false; his intention to deal with Lin Fei and Xiao Ling at the back of the mountain was real.
With a smile, Lin Fei asked Zheng Wenbin, “Young Master Zheng, what does this mean?”
Zheng Wenbin laughed and said, “Lin Fei, I asked Long Chen to warn you yesterday to stop seeing Yutong and Liu Wei, but it seems you didn’t take it seriously, so I have no choice but to refresh your memory.”
After saying this, Zheng Wenbin retreated swiftly, his expression turning cold as he gave the order to the ten men in black surrounding Lin Fei and Xiao Ling, “Attack!”
