Chapter 99: Seeking Help

"My name is Fang Huihui. I came to find you because I need you to come to my house and treat my father."

Fang Huihui snapped back to reality, thinking to herself that whether this guy was capable or not, she had no choice but to take him along for now.

Before Lin Feng could respond, she grabbed him and said firmly, "His condition is very serious right now. You need to come with me immediately."

"Hey, wait a minute. Do I even know you?" Lin Feng pushed her away sharply, his tone cold.

"What kind of attitude is that?" Fang Huihui frowned, glaring at Lin Feng. "You're just a doctor—what's with the arrogance? You’d better change your attitude and come with me right now."

"What did you say?" Lin Feng tweaked his ear in disbelief, then chuckled. "Are you saying my attitude is wrong?"

He thought to himself, was this woman out of her mind? Showing up at night to ask for medical help, and yet making a scene here?

But he also recognized that her surname was Fang; she must be Fang Jianxiong’s daughter.

Like father, like daughter.

"Lin Feng, I advise you to be sensible. My father is the chief of the Jiangcheng patrol. There are plenty of doctors willing to treat him, but being chosen to do so is your good fortune."

"I’m afraid I can’t accept such a fortune. You’d better find someone else. I want to sleep now. Good night."

With that, Lin Feng turned and went straight back inside without looking back.

Fang Huihui stood there dumbfounded, her face flushed with anger.

She immediately knocked on the door again, but no matter how much she knocked, Lin Feng ignored her completely.

"Who’s knocking out there? Why won’t they stop?" Su Qingxue, disturbed by the noise, came out of her room and asked curiously.

"Just some lunatic. Don’t mind her. Qingxue, you go to bed first. I’m about to rest too," Lin Feng comforted her before retreating into his room alone.

Su Qingxue blinked her beautiful eyes a few times, heard the knocking outside gradually stop, and without further thought, returned to her room.

"This is infuriating," Fang Huihui clenched her fists tightly outside and immediately took out her phone to call her mother, explaining the situation.

On the other end, Qin Sumei was confused upon hearing this and asked over the phone, "What? Lin Feng won’t come? Huihui, are you sure you contacted the right person?"

"Really? That guy is extremely arrogant and about my age. I don’t think he even understands medicine. Dad might have been confused earlier," Fang Huihui replied irritably, standing at the villa’s gate.

"Impossible. Your father sounded very serious earlier. This is the only chance to save him. Talk to Lin Feng again. If he agrees to help, our Fang family is willing to pay him one million."

"Mom, it’s not about the money. You don’t understand, that guy is just..."

"Hey, keep your phone away from my house. You’re disturbing my sleep!" Just as she was about to badmouth Lin Feng, a window on the second floor slid open, and Lin Feng’s head appeared as he impatiently shouted down at her.

Fang Huihui gritted her teeth in fury and said into the phone, "Mom, you heard that. He doesn’t care about us at all."

"Wait a moment," Qin Sumei said, thinking of a solution. Suddenly, two coughs interrupted Fang Huihui on the other end.

She turned her attention to Fang Jianxiong and helped him sit up, casually asking, "Jianxiong, how are you feeling? Any better?"

"Su Mei, has the person been called? When will Mr. Lin arrive?" Fang Jianxiong asked weakly as he gradually opened his eyes under the difficult treatment of the renowned doctor Xu.

"Jianxiong, hold on a bit longer. I’ll have Huihui look for another miracle doctor. We can’t get Lin Feng here. I think he’s a fraud," Qin Sumei complained.

"Nonsense. I witnessed Mr. Lin’s skill firsthand today. He predicted my illness exactly. My current symptoms match his diagnosis perfectly," Fang Jianxiong said seriously, though his face was pale.

"What? You’re serious?" Qin Sumei was stunned.

Could she have guessed wrong?

Even Doctor Xu looked surprised and asked after a few moments, "Master Fang, are you sure this Lin Feng you know is reliable? He actually predicted your condition?"

"I’ve never heard of such a remarkable person in Jiangcheng," Doctor Xu added.

"It’s true. If I hadn’t experienced it myself, I wouldn’t believe it. You must find a way to bring him back. Only he can save my life," Fang Jianxiong said excitedly, then coughed up blood twice more, making Qin Sumei hurriedly wipe his mouth.

While Doctor Xu pondered silently, Fang Jianxiong struggled to speak again, "If you really can’t get him, try General Shen. He’s close with Mr. Lin. Maybe he can help."

"General Shen? Could even he know this guy?" Qin Sumei was shocked.

Shen Wanqian was a major figure in the provincial capital. Even her husband had the honor of meeting him only after solving countless major cases. Now this Lin Feng, a mere doctor, also knew General Shen?

After some hesitation, Qin Sumei finally took out Fang Jianxiong’s phone, found General Shen’s number, and dialed.

After a few rings, Shen Wanqian answered, "Hello, Old Fang? What’s the matter?"

"General Shen, please save my husband. I’m Qin Sumei, Fang Jianxiong’s wife. His life is hanging by a thread. Please find Lin Feng and have him come save him."

Qin Sumei's tone changed quickly as she cried and pleaded on the phone.

"Don’t worry yet. What exactly happened? Didn’t you get Mr. Lin’s address?" Shen Wanqian asked, confused.

As far as he knew, it should have been easy for Fang Jianxiong to investigate someone in Jiangcheng.

"Don’t mention it. We already tried, but that guy is arrogant and doesn’t take us seriously. He told us to find someone better. Now Jianxiong is almost dying, and I’m out of options. That’s why I’m asking for your help," Qin Sumei explained.

"Arrogant? Mr. Lin didn’t seem like that when he was with me. Hold on, I’ll contact him personally and find out what’s going on."

Shen Wanqian was deeply puzzled. After hanging up, he immediately reached out to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng had just lain down when his phone rang. He answered, "Hello, who is this?"

"Mr. Lin, this is Shen Wanqian. Sorry to bother you so late," Shen Wanqian greeted politely before continuing, "Mr. Lin, did the Fang family come to see you? They say you’re arrogant and refuse to treat the patient. What’s the real story?"

"Heh, arrogant? Looks like that girl is quick to blame others," Lin Feng chuckled lightly and recounted the entire incident to Shen Wanqian.

After hearing everything, Shen Wanqian was dumbfounded.

Regaining his composure, he said politely, "I understand, Mr. Lin. Leave this matter to me. I’ll handle it and make sure you’re satisfied."

"Alright, I’ll wait then," Lin Feng said, still in a bad mood, and hung up.

Shen Wanqian shook his head with a sigh, muttering, "Old Fang, what kind of way is this to handle things? I told you Mr. Lin is hard to come by, yet you still mess up like this?"

After a moment, he called Fang Jianxiong back. Qin Sumei answered again, "General Shen, how’s it going? Has Lin Feng agreed to come?"
