Chapter 1285: Chapter 1284
Lin Fan acted as if he hadn’t heard the male doctor’s shouting, and kept his head down, inserting the needles.
This completely infuriated the male doctor. This barefoot doctor who’d popped up from God knows where actually dared to ignore him; he felt gravely offended. Compared to the girl’s life, the fact that he’d been disrespected made him even angrier.
"Are you a family member?" The male doctor looked at the woman.
The woman said, "I’m her older sister."
The male doctor said unhappily, "How could you let someone mess with the patient before we arrived? If something goes wrong, will you take responsibility?"
The woman’s face flushed. "It’s because you guys came too slowly. My sister’s condition was critical, this handsome guy said we couldn’t wait any longer."
The male doctor let out a cold laugh. "Letting this kind of barefoot doctor fool around will only make it worse. Now that I’m here, do you still want me to treat her or not? If not, I’ll leave."
The woman looked at the male doctor, then at Lin Fan, hesitating a bit. The male doctor was a proper doctor from a real hospital, which obviously made people feel more at ease. But Lin Fan had stepped up at the most critical moment to help. If she rashly cut him off now, it would be too disrespectful to Lin Fan.
The man next to her was so anxious he stamped his foot. "What are you thinking about? Do you really have to piss the doctor off? He’s a proper, legit doctor. And what is he?"
The man spoke in a lecturing tone, and he couldn’t hide the hint of smugness on his face, as if he had finally found a chance to teach the woman a lesson.
The woman was under layer after layer of pressure and felt extremely torn.
The male doctor was very angry, but more than being angry that the woman didn’t stop Lin Fan, what infuriated him even more was that Lin Fan had ignored him from beginning to end. This was simply too offensive.
He couldn’t hold back anymore. He strode straight over and reached out to push Lin Fan away.
However, halfway through reaching out, his hand abruptly froze in mid-air, and he himself was stunned.
"Cough!"
The girl on the ground suddenly started coughing, her body shaking. With a gush, she coughed out a mouthful of liquid. The liquid gave off a foul stench and was actually black.
The girl’s face had been as black as death, a certain death situation, but after vomiting out that big mouthful of liquid, her complexion actually began to gradually recover some color, and her eyes opened.
She woke up—she came back to life?
Everyone was dumbfounded. That was insane. A moment ago they were still doubting whether acupuncture could detoxify, and it actually worked!
This young man’s Medical Skill was insanely good, and he was even using Huaxia medicine!
He truly showed everyone the power of Huaxia medicine.
"Meimei!"
The woman saw the girl wake up and was overjoyed. She hurried over, squatted down, completely ignoring the filthy, stinking liquid on the girl’s body, and reached out to pull the girl into her arms.
Only after Lin Fan saw the girl regain consciousness did he put away the Silver Needle, stand up, and say, "She’s basically out of danger now. If you’re still worried, you can send her to the hospital for a further check-up."
The woman said gratefully, "Thank you, handsome, thank you so much."
The elderly couple also came over to thank Lin Fan. "Thank you, doctor!"
The man felt extremely awkward. He had strongly opposed Lin Fan just now, and now that Lin Fan had successfully brought her back, he had turned into the clown.
The male doctor was awkward too. Just now he’d called Lin Fan a barefoot doctor, and in the end the guy detoxified her without using anything like gastric lavage like Western medicine would, just used acupuncture to induce vomiting.
But the male doctor had just lost face; how could he acknowledge Lin Fan that easily? Wouldn’t that be even more humiliating?
The male doctor said, "Hand the patient over to me and we’ll take her back for tests, in case there’s residual toxin in her body! I don’t believe he could have eliminated it all!"
Lin Fan didn’t refute him. He said calmly, "I’ve already brought her back. Whether she goes to the hospital afterward is entirely up to her family to decide. But before that, I want to clarify one thing."
Everyone looked at Lin Fan curiously, not knowing what it was he wanted to clarify.
"What exactly happened?"
At this moment, a middle-aged man came in from outside. Dressed head to toe in designer brands, with fair skin, he clearly lived a pampered life. He rushed in anxiously.
The Restaurant Manager saw him and hurried over. "Boss, you’re finally here!"
The middle-aged man walked over and looked at the girl. "Didn’t you say someone was poisoned and unconscious? Isn’t she awake now? She’s okay, right?"
The Restaurant Manager said, "It was this young man who saved her."
The middle-aged man looked at Lin Fan, momentarily stunned; who would’ve thought this young guy would be so capable. On the other hand, the doctor beside them had come for nothing.
Since Lin Fan was the one who’d saved her, the middle-aged man naturally had to ask him, "Young man, may I ask your surname?"
Lin Fan said, "Lin."
The middle-aged man took the initiative to shake hands with Lin Fan. "Mr. Lin, hello. I’m the owner here, my surname is Fang. Mr. Lin, could you tell me what poison this little girl took? Does it have anything to do with our chicken soup?"
Before Lin Fan could speak, the male doctor cut in, "How could the type of poison be identified so easily? We need to take her back for tests before we can make a determination."
Lin Fan, however, smiled. "No need to go through all that. She’s been poisoned by pesticide."
"Huh?"
At the word "pesticide," the woman turned pale with fright. "Dr. Lin, don’t tell me my sister took paraquat? I heard that kind of pesticide causes pulmonary fibrosis and it’s irreversible, not even an Immortal could save you!"
"What?" The elderly couple immediately burst into tears in terror.
Lin Fan said, "The one you mentioned is indeed something even an Immortal would struggle to save you from. It gives you time to regret, but no chance to live. Luckily, that’s not what she took. She’s suffering from organophosphate poisoning. That kind of pesticide is often used to kill insects. I’ve helped her expel the toxin; basically there won’t be any major damage."
The woman started crying and hugged the girl tightly. "Thank you, Dr. Lin, you scared me to death."
Boss Fang said in surprise, "Insecticide? Where would insecticide come from? Xiaoli, have we bought any insecticide for the restaurant recently?"
The Restaurant Manager started hemming and hawing. "This..."
The man was already shouting angrily, "No need to ask, it must be your restaurant that used the pesticide! You’d better hurry up and pay compensation!"
Boss Fang said, "Calm down first. How could our restaurant be poisoning people? We have no grievances with the little girl. What benefit would we get from harming her?"
The man said, "Who knows about you? Maybe you accidentally poured pesticide in, maybe one of your employees is unhappy with you and wanted to cause trouble. Anyway, it’s your restaurant’s responsibility!"
Boss Fang was getting a little annoyed. "Don’t spit blood without evidence. You’ll have to take responsibility for what you say. We’ve already called the police. Let’s just wait for them to come and investigate the truth!"
The man said, "What’s there to investigate? Our little sister was poisoned after drinking the chicken soup. It’s your chicken soup that’s toxic. I’m telling you, don’t even think about dodging responsibility! Little sis, don’t worry, your brother-in-law will definitely get justice for you!"
"I never said she was poisoned by drinking the chicken soup. How do you know she was poisoned by the chicken soup?" Lin Fan suddenly asked coldly, lifting his eyes to stare at the man.
