"I'm just a passerby."
"I'm an ordinary citizen, just enjoying the breeze on my balcony."
Huang Yang was panicked, exclaiming that he'd seen a ghost. He was observing someone from afar, and it was strange enough to be discovered, but even more bizarre that the person had somehow kicked his own leg, breaking it in the process.
Lin Fan said, "I know."
He could understand why the other party was so nervous. After all, his leg was broken, and that kind of pain wasn't something everyone could bear.
Lin Fan felt there must be a misunderstanding.
First of all, Huang Yang's emotions were unstable. He must have thought he and Old Zhang were bad guys who had injured him, which was why he was so scared.
What he needed to do was clear up this misunderstanding.
"My good friend and I are not bad people," Lin Fan said.
Huang Yang replied, "I know you're not bad people. You're good people. This has nothing to do with you. I just broke my leg walking. It has nothing to do with you."
A strong desire to survive made Huang Yang unwilling to provoke the two in front of him.
They were truly terrifying.
The organization hadn't lied to him. The person he was observing was extremely dangerous, and he had to be prepared to make sacrifices.
At the time, he hadn't quite believed it.
He, Huang Yang, had seen the world. He had seen all kinds of powerful people. A mission that could put him in danger hadn't been born yet.
Now…
Old Zhang, standing beside him, could no longer wait.
"His situation is a bit serious. I should give him acupuncture," Old Zhang said.
Lin Fan nodded. "Okay, then give him acupuncture."
Huang Yang was a little confused. Acupuncture?
What were they trying to do?
He had a bad feeling, as if he had thought of something terrible. They must be researching something and were using him as a test subject.
Thinking of this…
He completely panicked.
"Don't come over! Don't come over!" Huang Yang shrank back in fear, constantly retreating, but with the path blocked, he had nowhere to go.
Old Zhang said gently, "Don't be afraid. I'm here to help you."
He tried his best to appear normal, hoping the other party wouldn't be afraid and wouldn't have any fear. He and Lin Fan were friendly people who wanted nothing more than to help others.
However, these words to Huang Yang…
Sounded like protesting too much.
The words he heard became… I'm here to harm you.
Huang Yang limped to the edge of the rooftop, stretching out his hand to stop them from approaching. "Don't come any closer! If you come any closer, I'll jump from here! Even if I die, I won't let you hurt me!"
"Can you trust me?" Old Zhang asked.
Lin Fan added, "I hope you can trust him."
Huang Yang absolutely would not believe Lin Fan and Old Zhang's words. In his view, the two people in front of him were very dangerous, among the most terrifying enemies he had encountered.
Old Zhang fell into deep thought.
He was thinking about why the other party didn't believe his words.
Soon, he figured out the key reason.
Immediately afterward…
Old Zhang pulled out his precious needles from his pocket, saying as he did so:
"I know why you don't believe me. It's because you haven't seen my babies, right? Now you can take a good look. These are my treasures for treating you."
"I've been self-studying acupuncture for many years. Lin Fan is not only my good friend but also the subject of my acupuncture practice. You can rest assured, I'm very experienced, and I'll definitely make you feel good."
Old Zhang really hoped the other party could trust him like Lin Fan did.
But he knew…
That was difficult. In this life, being able to meet a soulmate like Lin Fan was enough. Asking for too much was extravagant.
Gulp!
Huang Yang watched the silver needles in the box and swallowed.
To be honest…
He was very scared.
At the same time, he was even more certain that they wanted to use him as a test subject.
I just have a broken leg.
You're making it seem like I have some kind of serious illness. Can a broken leg be treated with acupuncture?
He screamed, "Don't come over!"
His voice was quite loud.
It really stopped Old Zhang in his tracks. For Old Zhang, he sincerely wanted to help, and even if the other party didn't believe him, there was no need to yell at him.
"Lin Fan, I'm upset," Old Zhang said, pouting sadly.
Lin Fan patted Old Zhang's shoulder, comforting him. "Don't be upset. You're kind-hearted. I always know you're a helpful Old Zhang. Don't take his words to heart."
"Mm, your comfort makes me feel much better," Old Zhang nodded.
He was indeed easily comforted.
Before anything else was said, his mood improved a lot. It was unclear whether the reason Old Zhang was upset was simply to receive comfort from Lin Fan.
Lin Fan said, "Good, I'm glad you feel better."
Then he looked at Huang Yang.
"Do you have some misunderstanding about Old Zhang? Actually, you can choose to trust him. His acupuncture skills are really strong."
At this moment, Old Zhang seemed to have thought of something.
"Don't say anything more."
"I'm not going to give him acupuncture. My needles are only for those who believe in me."
Old Zhang was being haughty. His kindness being misunderstood had a big impact on him. He thought his acupuncture was indeed powerful, and he could even make a healthy person sick.
Of course…
If you were already sick, Old Zhang had a certain probability of making you worse faster.
A very magical skill.
Huang Yang breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that he wasn't getting acupuncture. No one was begging him to be treated. He thought about the next steps. He had to escape from their hands, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. He didn't even dare to imagine what the final outcome would be.
"Old Zhang, since that's the case, let's take him to the hospital," Lin Fan said.
No matter what…
Helping those in need was what they should do.
Although he wasn't responsible for the other party's injury, he couldn't just stand by and watch.
Old Zhang said, "Mm, I'll listen to you."
Soon…
Lin Fan walked towards Huang Yang. Like a startled bird, Huang Yang panicked at the sight and exclaimed:
"What do you want to do?"
If time could rewind, he definitely wouldn't observe the other party from such a close distance. He would definitely run far away and use a super-telephoto lens to watch their every move.
But now it was too late.
The sheep had entered the tiger's den. Danger lurked everywhere.
"You're in bad shape. Old Zhang wanted to help you, but you don't trust him, so forget it. But like I said before, I'm very familiar with Huatian Hospital. We'll take you there."
Before Huang Yang could say anything…
Lin Fan directly picked him up in a princess carry, a posture that made the grown man extremely shy.
Holy crap!
What a bold way to carry him! If others saw this, where would he put his face?
"Don't move," Lin Fan said.
Although his tone was calm, it had a domineering CEO vibe.
Huang Yang was stunned, feeling that something wasn't right. It was all a bit too embarrassing.
Huatian Hospital.
After becoming the director, Li Laifu lived a leisurely life. When he had nothing to do, he would stroll around the hospital. He was probably the most frequently seen director in any hospital.
Nurses and doctors had to address him respectfully.
"Director, hello."
He enjoyed this feeling.
It felt like he had reached the peak of his life.
At this moment, Li Laifu walked with his hands behind his back and his head held high, though without any real air of a big boss. He was the biggest official in the hospital, and wherever he went, it was like an emperor on patrol. Doctors and nurses would be startled when they saw him, then would honestly do their work, not daring to slack off.
Walking…
Walking…
Li Laifu arrived downstairs at the hospital. He was going to find Huang Guan for a smoke. Huang Guan used to be an ambulance driver, but because of his meritorious service in supporting Li Laifu, he had successfully transitioned to become the head of security, responsible for the hospital's safety.
At this moment…
In the distance…
Huang Guan, with a baton at his waist, was chatting with a man. "Are you really going to take the child home?"
"There's no other way. We've sold everything we can. We really can't afford it anymore," a middle-aged man said with a haggard face.
This was a family of three who had come to the hospital for treatment. The patient was their son, who at a young age, had contracted a serious illness. The medical expenses were too high for an ordinary family to bear.
Now, having held on for so long, they finally couldn't go on any longer. They could only buy some medicine and take the child home to slowly wait for death.
"What about medical insurance?" Huang Guan asked.
The middle-aged man shook his head, full of regret. "We didn't pay it."
"Sigh."
Huang Guan hadn't expected that they hadn't paid for medical insurance. This was unimaginable for medical treatment. Without reimbursement, if someone really got seriously ill, it would bankrupt the family. And this was a treatable disease, just that the initial costs were a bit high. Later on, it could be reimbursed by sixty to ninety percent.
After calculating everything…
It actually wouldn't cost too much money.
Huang Guan sympathized with the family, but he couldn't do anything except feel pity for them.
"Huang Guan."
Li Laifu stood there, waving to Huang Guan.
Smoking was something that required the right environment.
It was best to have company, so that smoking would have a special kind of enjoyment.
"Director, hello."
Huang Guan came to Li Laifu's side, took out a cigarette, respectfully offered it to the director, and lit it for him. Everything he had now was thanks to the director's help.
Li Laifu looked into the distance at the family of three. They had called a car and were loading their belongings onto it. From afar, one could see the fatigue on their faces.
"What happened to them? Are they being discharged because they've recovered?" Li Laifu asked.
Huang Guan replied, "Director, they are being discharged, but not because they've recovered. It's because they can't afford the treatment anymore."
"Can't afford it? No way, our medical insurance reimburses a lot." Li Laifu was surprised. Honestly, unless the family was extremely poor and couldn't even afford the upfront costs, this kind of situation shouldn't happen.
Take the little girl with leukemia whom Lin Fan had saved, for example.
The treatment costs were very high.
But the reimbursement rate was also very high.
This kind of situation shouldn't occur.
"That's the problem. They don't have medical insurance, so they can't get reimbursed."
Huang Guan seemed helpless. He also hadn't expected this. Even if he wanted to help, he was powerless.
"Go and see."
Li Laifu went to the family of three. The patient was their son, still young. For him, already middle-aged, he couldn't bear to see such a scene.
"This is our director," Huang Guan introduced.
The haggard middle-aged man hurriedly said, "Director, hello."
"Mm." Li Laifu nodded. "Why didn't you get medical insurance for the child? You can forget anything else, but how could you forget this?"
The middle-aged man lowered his head. "The child is still young. We didn't think he would have any health problems. We thought we'd pay it later."
Li Laifu knew that many people had this kind of thinking. Since things had already come to this, there was no use saying anything.
"I just called our security captain to ask where the patient in bed number three had gone. I didn't expect you guys were actually leaving. This is no joke."
Although Huang Guan didn't know what it meant, as the director's loyal bulletproof vest, he instantly understood the director's meaning and hurriedly said:
"Director, as soon as I received your message, I rushed over to stop them."
Li Laifu said with satisfaction, "Good that you found them. It just so happens that our hospital is celebrating its 80th anniversary, and we're holding a lottery for free treatment for all patients. You're very lucky, you've been selected. You won't have to pay a single cent for the subsequent treatment."
"Ah?" The middle-aged man stared at the director in astonishment, as if he couldn't believe it.
Huang Guan smiled and patted the man's shoulder. "You're so lucky."
Li Laifu put his hands behind his back, his leadership qualities prominent. "Later, our Captain Huang will take you to register. Don't block the way here, in case it affects others."
The middle-aged man stared blankly, as if in a daze.
When he brought his child to Huatian Hospital for treatment, he had checked the hospital online. It was powerful, but it didn't seem to have been established for that long.
Thinking of this…
He understood.
"Director, thank you for saving our lives." The middle-aged man and his wife were about to kneel to Li Laifu, but Li Laifu stopped them. "What are you doing? Don't do this. If someone with ulterior motives films this, they'll think it's a medical disturbance. But you must get medical insurance in the future, otherwise, where would such good luck come from?"
Huang Guan looked at the director with shining eyes.
Such a benevolent director!
It was his honor to work for the director.
And he always believed that he possessed the abilities of a brilliant strategist, otherwise, the director wouldn't value him. There must be some shining point that deeply attracted the director's attention.
"Help! Someone, help!"
Just then…
A cry came from afar.
Li Laifu, with a serious expression, felt his heart tremble when he heard this familiar voice, as if he had thought of someone he hadn't seen for a long, long time.
He slowly turned his head.
That's right…
It was that…
Familiar face, familiar figure, familiar gait.
There was no mistake… It was Lin Fan, the patient from Qingshan Mental Hospital.
Huatian Hospital's VIP customer.
Here, you could not know your colleagues, but you absolutely couldn't say you didn't know Lin Fan. Otherwise, you were an unqualified doctor.
Li Laifu hurriedly rushed over. "Why didn't you call? We could have sent an ambulance to pick you up."
"Old Zhang and I aren't sick. It's his leg that's broken. We brought him to the hospital," Lin Fan said.
Hearing this…
Li Laifu was clearly disappointed.
A broken leg?
This wasn't challenging for them at all.
