Chapter 542: Return to Hometown
"What? He was poisoned? What's going on?" Zhou Nanhua exclaimed in shock.
Lin Fan said, "Dr. Guo Yu is my uncle's attending physician, he should know best."
Instantly, everyone looked at Guo Yu.
Guo Yu hurriedly said, "I don't know. I don't think Mr. Lin was poisoned because I didn't find any signs of poisoning. Otherwise, I couldn't have hidden such a thing!"
Lin Fan said, "For the past three months, Dr. Guo Yu hasn't found that someone has been poisoning my uncle. What does that indicate?"
Guo Yu flushed with embarrassment, "Mr. Lin, you don't have to rush to condemn me. Whether or not he was poisoned isn't certain yet! Right now, you're the only one claiming he was poisoned!"
Lin Fan said, "If my uncle has been continuously poisoned, I believe with today's medical standards, a blood test will yield results. Of course, if you trust me, you can listen to me, but if not, feel free to conduct the tests."
Guo Yu said, "Even if what you say is true, and Mr. Lin has indeed been poisoned all this time, what does that prove, Mr. Lin? What exactly are you trying to say?"
Lin Fan said, "There are only two possibilities then: either you're not competent and haven't discovered the cause of my uncle's lack of recovery, meaning you're not a responsible doctor. Or, you are the culprit!"
Ah?
Everyone's expressions changed.
Dr. Guo Yu, the person poisoning Mr. Lin?
How is that possible!
"Don't falsely accuse me!" Guo Yu exclaimed, agitated.
Zhou Nanhua said, "Mr. Lin, Dr. Guo Yu is a young talent that I personally mentored. I know him well, he couldn't possibly do something so heinous!"
Lin Fan chuckled, "Is that so? Anyway, I have no evidence."
Guo Yu angrily said, "Lin Fan, without evidence, don't make wild accusations. You're damaging my reputation, and I'll sue you for defamation!"
Lin Fan said, "Do as you please. I now want to take my uncle out of the hospital. Whoever poisoned him, I'll get to the bottom of it one day!"
After speaking, Lin Fan reached out to pick up Lin Dawei, turning to Lin Shanshan saying, "Let's go."
Lin Shanshan nodded.
And so, under everyone's gaze, Lin Fan turned and walked out.
Leaving behind the bewildered crowd.
"Lao Zhou, what Mr. Lin just said is very serious. If it's true, the issue is extremely grave. How do you plan to handle it?" an authority figure asked.
Zhou Nanhua frowned, he knew well that the matter was no small issue!
Lin Dawei being poisoned in his hospital!
If this leaked out, it would be a massive blow to the hospital's reputation!
"Collect a blood sample from Mr. Lin, I want to run the tests personally. I need to know if he was indeed poisoned," Zhou Nanhua said seriously.
"If the poisoning is confirmed, I won't let it go easily. Whoever did such a heinous act will surely face the iron fist of the law!" Zhou Nanhua said.
At this moment, the people present didn't know that Lin Fan's words were about to trigger a huge storm in the hospital.
Meanwhile, Lin Fan placed Lin Dawei in the car, laying him in the back seat.
"Brother, where are we going now?" Lin Shanshan asked.
Lin Fan said, "Home."
Lin Shanshan thought Lin Fan meant returning to Yunding Manor, but an hour later, she was shocked to realize they had left Yun City!
"Brother, which home do you mean by going home?" Lin Shanshan asked excitedly.
Lin Fan smiled, "There is only one place that can be called home. When I say going home, I mean the home where we grew up."
"Third Uncle has been away for three months. He'll be pleasantly surprised to wake up and find himself back home. Big cities, although nice and VIP suites luxurious, are nowhere near as comfortable as home."
Lin Fan didn't understand medical skill before and wasn't aware that Lin Dawei was being targeted.
He really didn't want Lin Dawei to remain in Yun City any longer.
The real reason for going home was to take Lin Dawei away. In his heart, he felt guilty, knowing that the person behind targeting Lin Dawei was actually after him.
He couldn't allow his family to be further harmed because of him.
Lin Shanshan was thrilled to know they were heading back to their old home, "Great, brother! I miss home too; miss mom and dad so much."
Lin Fan laughed, "You'll see them very soon."
West River Village.
A remote small mountain village.
The economy here is underdeveloped, and young people are unwilling to stay because of the poverty, many choosing to work outside. However, few who leave return successfully enough to make a name, and those who manage to build a small house are considered lucky. If one could buy a small car, they would be the pride of the village.
"Brother, are we really driving the Rolls-Royce back to the village?" Lin Shanshan asked anxiously. Would it be too flashy?
Lin Fan said, "It is a bit over the top. I've arranged it this way: Third Uncle needs some IV fluids at the town hospital. How about I head home first, and you stay at the hospital with Third Uncle? Leave the Rolls-Royce parked at the hospital."
If Lin Fan drove the Rolls-Royce to the countryside, it might cause a stir throughout the area.
Lin Fan is a low-key person.
So, Lin Fan dropped Lin Dawei off at the town's hospital for IV treatment, then took the rural bus back home.
After getting off the bus, there was still a bit of a walk, since the bus only passed by the village entrance.
Lin Fan knew a shortcut to get home quicker, so he took it, climbing over a hill.
As Lin Fan reached the foot of the hill, he suddenly heard a cry not far away—it was a woman's voice.
Following the direction of the sound, Lin Fan saw a woman in sportswear who had fallen by the roadside. She was grabbing a branch in panic, defending herself from a snake in front of her, with bark similar color.
Bamboo Leaf Green!
This was a venomous snake. A bite could be troublesome.
Snakes, insects, rats, and bugs—all common in the mountains—were no surprise to Lin Fan, who grew up in the mountain village, but the sight of this woman intrigued him.
In this remote countryside, how was there a beautiful woman in sportswear?
This beauty was likely about 20 years old, with an oval face, stunningly pretty, and a body that was perfect, curvy in all the right places. Especially in sportswear, her figure was accentuated. Having just finished a run, she was glistening with sweat, making her face flush red—extremely alluring.
A solid 9 out of 10 beauty!
"Hello, please help me!"
The woman saw Lin Fan and, as if grabbing at a lifeline, urgently called out for his help.
She was clearly terrified.
Dealing with this snake was not a problem for Lin Fan. He bent down, picked up a pebble, and flicked it. With a whoosh, it hit the Bamboo Leaf Green right at its weak point.
The Bamboo Leaf Green struggled wildly for a moment, then lay still.
Lin Fan walked over, grabbed the snake's tail, and tossed the dead snake into the nearby bushes.
The woman was stunned. This young man was impressive; he'd dealt with the snake in a couple of moves, accurate and swift, like a martial artist. She'd seen many martial artists before, Lin Fan was no less than them.
