"It's because of illegal medical practice!"
Lin Beifan sat beside the hospital bed and sighed. "I was also surprised when I heard the news, so I went to check the situation. It turns out that Dr. Mo didn't obtain permission from the VIA department to conduct free clinics in Chaoyang Plaza!
"Although his intentions were good and his medical skills are excellent, it was still illegal!"
"Not only that, but during his practice, there was a medical accident, a dispute with a patient, and even a fight. This made the situation even more serious! That's why the city management arrested him and took him to the police station."
Lin Beifan sighed again. "He's still under investigation, and I heard the situation is quite severe."
Xiao Chen panicked. "What should I do?"
His first thought was to save his Uncle Shi.
Uncle Shi had always treated him well, almost like family. It was because of him that he got into trouble, so Xiao Chen felt responsible for rescuing him.
But he was lying in bed, injured and unable to move. How could he save him?
Moreover, he was unfamiliar with Mohai City. Who could he ask for help?
Wait—wasn't there someone right in front of him?
Xiao Chen hesitated several times, glancing at his sworn enemy, Lin Beifan.
Asking an enemy for help? That was harder than swallowing a sword!
It felt worse than death!
But when he thought of his uncle suffering in prison, his heart ached.
Forget it! For Uncle Shi's sake, he had to lower his pride!
With a hopeful expression, Xiao Chen finally spoke. "Mr. Lin, my Uncle Shi has always treated me like family. Without him, I wouldn't be where I am today. Can you do me a favor and help me rescue him?"
Lin Beifan sighed. "I can only say I'll do my best. After all, I'm not in the system."
"Mr. Lin, please!" Xiao Chen said sincerely.
Thanks to Lin Beifan's efforts, Mo Wugui was released in less than two days.
But when he came out, he was almost unrecognizable.
His hair was a mess, his clothes were tattered, his eyes were sunken with dark circles, his mouth was slightly crooked, and his right hand was bandaged. He looked like he had aged several years overnight.
The once-handsome uncle now looked like an old man.
Xiao Chen was stunned. "Uncle Shi, what happened to you? Who did this to you?"
Mo Wugui sighed and spoke in a despondent voice. "There was a misunderstanding during a consultation, which led to a fight with the patient. That's how I ended up in jail."
"Was the situation serious?" Xiao Chen asked.
"It's not too bad. I just had to pay a fine, and I'm banned from practicing medicine for a year."
He said it lightly, but the bitterness in his smile was evident.
For an old doctor like him, saving lives had been his lifelong duty. But now, his career was in ruins. It was a devastating blow.
One could see how much it had aged him.
Xiao Chen blamed himself.
If he hadn't been so weak, Uncle Shi wouldn't have come down the mountain to help him and wouldn't have suffered so much.
Before, his senior brother had helped him and ended up in jail.
Now, his uncle had helped him and suffered the same fate.
In his previous life, his entire sect had helped him, only to be completely destroyed.
A terrifying thought crept into his mind—was he really a jinx?
Did anyone who helped him end up in disaster?
Damn it!
Could that really be the case?
"Besides, I can't help treat you anymore," Mo Wugui said bitterly. "Look at my hand—it's injured. I can't even hold a needle…"
Xiao Chen quickly reassured him. "Uncle Shi, you should focus on healing yourself first. Don't worry about me! I can recover slowly on my own, but if you don't take care of your hand, you might never be able to practice medicine again. That would be a real loss!"
Mo Wugui sighed. "I can't believe it… I, Mo Wugui, spent my whole life honing my medical skills, yet I ended up like this. I wanted to bring glory to our Guigu Sect, but instead, I've become a laughingstock in the medical world! If it weren't for Mr. Lin, I don't know when I would've gotten out."
Then, he turned to Lin Beifan and bowed deeply. "Mr. Lin, thank you! Words alone feel insincere, so I'll just say this—if you ever need me or the Guigu Sect, just ask. We'll do everything we can to help!"
Lin Beifan waved his hand. "Dr. Mo, you're being too polite. I didn't do much."
"No, Mr. Lin, you've helped my nephew and me so much. Our entire sect is indebted to you!" Mo Wugui turned to Xiao Chen and scolded, "Xiao Chenzi, why aren't you thanking him yet?"
Xiao Chen clenched his teeth and reluctantly said, "Mr. Lin, thank you."
Lin Beifan smiled.
He enjoyed watching Xiao Chen's internal struggle—seeing his enemy forced to thank him was incredibly satisfying.
In fact, he wanted to hear it again.
And his wish was soon granted.
Mo Wugui frowned. "Xiao Chenzi, what kind of tone is that? Where's your sincerity? Have you forgotten how I taught you? You're too old to be so ignorant. Say it again!"
Xiao Chen: "..."
"Smile sincerely, and show your teeth. Understand?"
Xiao Chen: "..."
"If you don't do it properly, I'll smack you! Don't think I won't just because you're injured!"
Xiao Chen: "..."
Tears welled up in his eyes as he forced a stiff grin, revealing eight teeth. With a "sincere" tone, he said, "Mr. Lin, thank you!"
Lin Beifan chuckled. "No need to thank me. We're like brothers, after all!"
Xiao Chen: "..."
Just say damn it already!
This time, Mo Wugui was satisfied. "The Guigu Sect always repays kindness! Xiao Chenzi, you're lucky to have met someone like Mr. Lin! So once you've recovered, you must repay him properly. Otherwise, I won't forgive you even as a ghost!"
Xiao Chen was dumbfounded, his heart filled with resentment.
This man was his lifelong enemy!
And now he had to repay him?
Was there no end to this humiliation?!
Lin Beifan smiled slightly. "Dr. Mo, don't worry. Brother Xiao and I are like old friends. Helping him is something I should do—there's no need to talk about repayment."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Watching Lin Beifan's retreating figure, Mo Wugui sighed emotionally.
"There really are still many good people in the world!"
Xiao Chen nearly spat out blood.
Him?
A good person?!
