Chapter 161 Superb Acting Skills
Lin Fan casually found a place to have lunch, and after lunch, he went to a coffee shop with his book in hand.
Order a cup of coffee and a cake, and enjoy this quiet and leisurely afternoon.
Lin Fan knew that as long as he remained the behind-the-scenes boss of the Shancheng Group, those outcasts would have no way to make a move.
Very few people know Lin Fan's true identity. Gao Xuan and Gu Xinyan will not betray Lin Fan, and Xiao Xinran is still a child.
Liu Zhengwei was the most likely candidate, so Lin Fan contacted him from time to time, using both kindness and pressure.
"The first thing in appraising antiques is dating them. You have to determine the era in which they were made; otherwise, everything else is in vain."
"The dating is based on the technology of different eras. The simplest example is that blue and white porcelain vases could not have appeared in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods because the technology at that time was far from advanced."
"Secondly, it's about the details of the authentication. Don't just rely on your first impression. Many fakes are made by piecing together old and new pieces, and it's hard to tell the difference without careful inspection."
Lin Fan muttered to himself as he read, thoroughly enjoying the book.
Just as he was engrossed in the moment, his phone vibrated in his pocket, interrupting Lin Fan's interest.
He picked it up and saw that it was a call from Jiang Lingfu.
"Brother Fan, please come to Jishetang right away! Something's happened!"
The voice on the other end of the phone sounded anxious, and one could faintly hear arguing around Jiang Lingfu.
Lin Fan hurriedly got up and walked out, not even having time to enjoy the coffee and cake on the table.
The phone was still connected, and Lin Fan connected to the car's internet after getting in:
"I'm driving there right now, what happened at Jishetang?"
Jiang Lingfu lowered his voice and said urgently, "Brother Fan, someone came to see me just now, and I tried the acupuncture technique you taught me. As a result, the patient collapsed and is now foaming at the mouth and convulsing."
"Not only that, it also attracted a crowd of onlookers, and Huang Shulang and Yin Lu were also watching the spectacle."
Lin Fan expressed surprise: "The patient is in such a state, why isn't he being taken to the emergency room? Nobody called 120?"
“I had my apprentice do it, but if we wait for the ambulance to arrive, it will be considered a medical malpractice incident, and the clinic will definitely be investigated!”
"If Yin Lu uses her connections with the Medical Bureau again, she might just find a reason to shut down the clinic."
Jiang Lingfu spoke in a flustered tone, repeatedly recounting the situation.
"I have five minutes, I'll be right there!"
Lin Fan knew that Jiang Lingfu sought his help because he hoped to save the patient before the ambulance arrived, thus absolving the clinic of responsibility.
There must be something fishy about this. The function of acupuncture is to unblock the meridians, harmonize yin and yang, and strengthen the body's resistance to disease.
Acupuncture is different from oral medications; even if it doesn't cure the disease, it won't leave any side effects.
This matter is likely related to Huang Shulang of Xisheng Clinic; it's highly probable that he set a trap.
Five minutes later, Lin Fan arrived outside Jishetang and saw a crowd gathered at the entrance from afar.
Lin Fan hurried a few steps into the house.
The patient was lying on the floor inside the room, and just as Jiang Lingfu had said, he was convulsing and foaming at the mouth.
Huang Shulang was standing to the side with his arm around Yin Lu, his lips twitching from time to time, a half-smile on his face.
"Brother Fan, you've arrived!"
Jiang Lingfu rushed forward, rubbing his hands in a panic: "Please take a look, what's wrong with the patient?"
“I did exactly as you instructed—”
Lin Fan raised his hand to signal for quiet: "I know this isn't your problem."
Looking through the sky, Lin Fan understood the situation; the people on the ground looked more like actors than patients.
To make the performance more realistic, the actor took drugs that stimulated the central nervous system.
The medication causes sudden abnormal electrical discharges in brain neurons, leading to temporary brain dysfunction.
Its outward manifestation is convulsions, commonly known as epilepsy.
I never imagined that they would deliberately induce epilepsy in one of their own people to smear Jishetang's reputation; that's truly vicious.
A hint of disdain appeared on Yin Lu's pretty face:
"I thought Young Master Jiang would ask your grandfather to come over, but I didn't expect him to invite a barefoot doctor instead."
Huang Shulang's face was full of sarcasm:
"Young Master Jiang's grandfather is the director of Shancheng Hospital, a renowned Western medicine doctor! Why would he come to such a small, shabby clinic for treatment?"
"It's only good for fooling useless grandsons. Who in their right mind would see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor?"
Huang Shulang was certain that traditional Chinese medicine methods could not cure this epilepsy, and even if they could, there would be no time to diagnose it.
The ambulance will be here soon. Once the ambulance has taken the patient away, the next step is to create public opinion.
Even a single spit from a neighbor could drown Jiang Lingfu.
"Bring me a needle!"
Lin Fan then said to Jiang Lingfu, "There is another prescription. Go to the backyard and prepare the medicine with a few apprentices. Be sure to use an earthenware pot."
After saying that, Lin Fan whispered the prescription in Jiang Lingfu's ear.
Jiang Lingfu looked surprised: "Brother Fan, are you sure?"
"OK, go quickly!" Lin Fan grinned mischievously.
The apprentice retrieved the needles for Lin Fan and then went to the backyard with Jiang Lingfu.
Lin Fan pinched the end of the needle and inserted nine needles into the actor's body.
The "Nine Needles Rejuvenation" technique was applied, and the patient's temporary epilepsy caused by medication was cured.
The actor lying on the ground was startled; the convulsions in his body stopped, and the white foam from his mouth ceased.
It's so embarrassing.
"The patient is cured? The patient was cured with acupuncture?"
"A miracle doctor, he is truly a miracle doctor!"
"I never expected a miracle doctor to come to Jishetang."
The onlookers all gave it a thumbs up.
Seeing that things were not going well, Huang Shulang gave the actor on the ground a sharp wink.
Upon seeing this, the actor could only grit his teeth and start twitching nervously, spitting out saliva incessantly.
This acting is so convincing, it's hard to believe it's real.
Huang Shulang panicked. He never expected that the barefoot doctor who suddenly appeared could actually cure the actor's illness.
It still relies on just a few silver needles.
Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to bite the bullet and let the actor put on a show. Let's see what this kid can do if he's not sick. As long as we get him to the ambulance, we'll have room to make a scene.
"What kind of miracle doctor is he? He's just a quack!"
Huang Shulang added fuel to the fire, saying, "Look at this patient, his condition is clearly much more serious!"
"Incompetent doctors are harmful. If this patient had gone to Xisheng Clinic earlier, none of this would have happened."
Yin Lu chimed in sarcastically, "Fortunately, the ambulance arrived soon. Everyone should be more careful in the future and not come to Jishetang again."
"Although Jishetang is cheap, we're not here to get medical treatment for the sake of saving money; our lives are more important."
The onlookers suddenly realized:
"This person must have come to Jishetang because it was cheap."
"We can't come here again. This is a living lesson!"
Just then, Jiang Lingfu walked from the backyard to the main hall with a clay pot in his hand, looking disgusted.
The apprentices behind him all looked dazed, as if their bodies had been hollowed out.
"Fan, Brother Fan, the medicine is here."
Jiang Lingfu pinched his nose with one hand and handed the earthenware pot to Lin Fan with the other.
Lin Fan waved his hand dismissively: "You can just pour this into the patient's mouth."
After listening to Lin Fan's words, Jiang Lingfu turned his head slightly to the apprentices behind him and said, "Hold the patient down and pry open his mouth."
The actor, who was convulsing on the ground, felt a sudden jolt of fear.
I wonder what these people at Jishetang are up to.
Several apprentices stepped forward, held the actor down, and then pried open his mouth.
Jiang Lingfu stepped forward, stretched out his arm, and poured the liquid from the earthenware jar into the actor's mouth.
Lin Fan frowned and pursed his lips, hiding in the distance.
Watching the yellow liquid, like silk threads, being injected into the actor's mouth.
