“Luo Ziling, you’re too impudent!” Linlan took out a gun out of nowhere and pointed it at him. “Do you know your position compared to the chief’s? How can you criticize him with such nonsense?”
While she pointed the gun at Luo Ziling and berated him, she tilted her body slightly and sent him a few glances from an angle that the old man couldnt see.

Seeing that, Luo Ziling understood what she was trying to convey. She wanted him to quickly apologize and stop saying anything to provoke the old man. While he was initially angry at Linlan for pointing her gun at him, thinking that this woman was repaying his kindness with enmity, after he understood
what she meant, his anger instantly disappeared.

However, Luo Ziling did not want to do what she was hinting at. He had his own pride.
If he came to this place just to treat someone’s illness and was treated as if he was receiving charity, then he would never treat this person.

In the past, when he accompanied his grandfather around to treat illnesses, he had been treated with incomparable respect and gratitude. How could he have run into such a situation today?

The pride in his bones made him unwilling to yield, and so he continued to stand proudly, refusing to look away from the old man’s gaze.

“Hahaha!” After staring at Luo Ziling for a few moments, the old man laughed out loud. “That’s right, it’s rare to see such an arrogant young man now. Lan’er, put the gun down, He’s much stronger than all of you. I can see my rebellious and unruly young self in him. Hahaha! I like the ones who have a spine!”
Hearing that, Linlan immediately put away the gun and rolled her eyes at Luo Ziling, as if silently scolding him for being too arrogant.

Luo Ziling heaved a sigh of relief, but he was also a little speechless at the old man’s words.

While this old man seemed to be praising him on the surface, in reality, he was really praising himself. He was truly an arrogant maniac.

“What’s your name?” the old man asked.

This action surprised Linlan; it was the first time the chief had ever taken the initiative to ask for a junior’s name.

“My name is Luo Ziling!”

At his words, the old man seemed to have thought of something, He stopped smiling and asked him seriously, ‘Who is Luo Liansheng to you?”

Luo Ziling was a little surprised at the question and asked curiously, ‘Sir…Do you know my grandfather?”
He’d wanted to call this man “Chief” like Linlan did, but somehow, it felt inappropriate to call him that. In the end, he settled for a simple ‘sir’.

The old man’s eyes flashed with a strange light. “I had dealings with him twenty years ago, and he is one of the people I admire the most. I didn’t expect to meet his grandson today. I suppose it’s a blessing in disguise,” he said. “Where’s your grandfather? I was hoping that he could treat me with his wonderful
hands.”

“Grandfather is in the northwest, but he often goes out to pick herbs or treat people’s illnesses,” Luo Ziling answered honestly.
“At the time, I originally refused to be treated, but when an old friend came by to treat people, I just had to try my luck no matter what,” the old man explained, motioning for Linlan to help him up.

Linlan and the two young nurses quickly came over to help the old man up from the chair.

“Ican’t move my hands and feet. The only thing I can move is my mouth, so this is the only way I can thank you.” After the women had helped the old man up, he nodded slightly to Luo Ziling to show his gratitude.

This situation shocked Linlan and the two young nurses; they were scolded almost every day. They could not believe that the old chief, who had a rough temper and always scolded people, would be so polite to a young man.

Linlan was especially surprised. She had been here for many years, but she had never seen the chief treat someone like this, not once!

She knew some information about Luo Ziling, but now she felt that his background was not as simple as she’d assumed.

To think that his grandfather was actually an old friend of their chief, the “God of War” in their hearts, and was even a person that the chief respected greatly. As his grandson, how could Luo Ziling be a simple person?

He’d said such brazen words to the chief who gave off such a strong aura, scaring Linlan so much that she‘d pulled out her gun and threatened Luo Ziling. Now, as he spoke in such an even tone and tone, Luo Ziling felt a little flattered.

Dropping his arrogance, he immediately walked over and extended his hand to grab the old man’s own.

The old man could see that Luo Ziling had grabbed his arm very quickly. The speed of his movements was faster than any other person he had met, and he could not help but be stunned. However, Luo Ziling ignored the old man’s shocked gaze and focused on checking his pulse.

But after doing so, he was shocked.

“You’ve been poisoned, and have been for quite a long time. Furthermore, you’ve suffered a very serious injury and have yet to recover. Your vital energy pulse is in disorder, and your pulse fluctuates between being high and low. Your illness is already in a very serious state,” he said bluntly.
Luo Ziling’s diagnosis caused Linlan’s expression to instantly change, and it also caused the two small nurses to tremble in fear.

The old man’s expression also changed at the diagnosis, but it immediately returned to normal.

“You’re right. As expected of the descendant of the godly doctor. I was indeed injured many years ago and also poisoned at the same time. The poison hasn’t been removed yet.’ The old man laughed, then he asked him seriously, “Give it to me straight. Can it be healed?”

‘When he asked this, the old man looked at Luo Ziling, who continued to monitor his pulse without blinking.

Not only was the old man looking at him, Linlan’s beautiful eyes eyes were also doing the same, hope brimming in them.

She really hoped that Luo Ziling would say that it was treatable.

In order to treat the old chiefs illness, the Army had brought over many of the top medical experts in the country. These medical experts had formulated many treatment plans, but the final results were ultimately ineffective.

For them to being Luo Ziling for treatment was a last resort for them. Their mentality of trying to make the best of a desperate situation was causing trouble.

The one who’d suggested that Luo Ziling be given a chance was none other than Linlan. If he said that it could be treated, and that it could be cured, then she would have made a great contribution. Not that such a thing really mattered to her; as long as she could cure the illness of the chief who’s acted like a
strict father to her, it did not matter even if she was punished.

However, when Luo Ziling shook his head slowly, she felt her heart drop. Sir, I can’t guarantee that it can be cured.”
Hearing that, the old man looked at Luo Ziling. After a moment of thought, he asked, “You mean there’s hope of being cured?”

“Yes.” This time, Luo Ziling nodded without hesitation. “As long as you’re willing to let me treat you, there’s always the possibility that I can lessen your symptoms or even heal them fully.”
His words made lit a burning fire of hope in Linlan’s heart.

The old man laughed and then looked at Luo Ziling seriously. “What’s there to be afraid of? I’ve never been afraid of anything in my life. For the longest time, I thought I’d been given a death sentence, but now that I know there’s hope for recovery, I might as well give it a try. Ziling, from today onwards, please
treat me. Regardless of how the treatment turns out, I’ll thank you!”

The old man’s words once again shocked Linlan.
The chief’s actions today were really too unusual.

She couldn’t help but look at Luo Ziling in a new light..
