Chapter 514: He Saved Grandpa!
Chapter 514: He Saved Grandpa!
Could it be... Could it be that this person named Lin Feng is the one chosen by Leng Mei?
Possible! Very possible! Only then everything would make sense!
Instantly, Yuan Kun felt like he was dispelling the mist. If that was indeed the result, it was the last thing he wanted to see, because he had been laying out his plans for so many years and he wouldn’t allow any accidents to occur. Therefore, he decided to see what Lin Feng’s intentions were before making a decision. If it really was as he suspected, he wouldn’t mind...
"Leng Mei, you just simply introduced Mr. Lin as your colleague, but you didn’t explain how he came to Capital City with you?" Yuan Kun thought it over and couldn’t help but ask directly. However, when he asked this question, he had already noticed that Leng Hao’s brow was deeply furrowed, obviously discontent with the sudden appearance of Lin Feng. Therefore, he felt no qualms about asking Leng Mei directly.
Moreover, without knowing Lin Feng’s identity, Yuan Kun felt as if there was a nagging emptiness inside him. After thinking it over, instead of harboring wild thoughts, it was better to ask openly and get clarity. After all, asking such a question was normal, and Leng Mei wouldn’t blame anyone for it.
"Yeah, Sister, how come Mr. Lin came to Capital City with you?" Hearing Yuan Kun’s words, Leng Hao, who was driving, couldn’t help but ask. He felt an inexplicable aversion to the man named Lin Feng. His sister and he were here, and Lin Feng was reluctant to say even a word, which was just too much.
What was most important was seeing how his sister treated Lin Feng, which made Leng Hao even more worried. His sister’s coldness was well-known; no strange man had ever been able to approach her, let alone share a car ride with her—which was utterly impossible in the past. Previously, only he had this privilege, and seeing his sister and that Lin Feng sitting peacefully together now stirred even more suspicion in his heart. Who exactly was this person? Could he be... Could he be the one his sister had chosen?
Thinking along these lines, Leng Hao couldn’t help but take another long look at Lin Feng in the rearview mirror, immediately dismissing this absurd thought. The Lin Feng in the back seemed to be no more than two years older than him; how could his sister be interested in someone so much younger? Impossible!
Then who exactly was this person? From his appearance to now, his sister had maintained a very low profile in front of this man; he had never seen her behave like this with any other man before. What... what exactly was going on?
"Lin Feng is a French teacher at our academy and also skilled in medicine. He came this time for Grandpa Meng." Knowing what the two in front were thinking, Leng Mei once again gave a simple explanation. However, she didn’t say anything about the crucial details. She knew her brother’s temperament, and since she had just established a relationship with Lin Feng, it would definitely be unacceptable to her brother. So it would be better to let him come to terms with it slowly.
Lin Feng, listening from the side, was speechless. He could feel that the two men in front were very suspicious of his identity, and he could vaguely sense their hostility. However, one was Leng Mei’s brother and the other was his sister’s senior martial brother, so it wasn’t his place to say much. He chose to remain silent because he knew that Leng Mei would certainly handle these matters well.
"What? A bit of medical skill and he’s here to treat Grandpa Meng? Sister, are you mistaken? Uncle Chen and those national medical experts are at a loss right now, and there’s also Master Uncle Liu Hong there. He... he’s a French teacher, what kind of illness can he possibly treat for Grandpa Meng?"
Hearing Leng Mei’s words, Leng Hao was immediately stunned and blurted out his concerns, thinking to himself how meticulous his sister always was with her actions. How could she do something so absurd today? A man in his twenties, how proficient could his medical skills be? If Uncle Chen and the others were at a loss, how could Lin Feng help? It was a huge joke! Moreover, the S-class medical expert found by their senior martial brother was unable to do anything last night... What in the world was his sister thinking today? Grandpa Meng was someone of great importance; how could just anyone be allowed to treat him? He really couldn’t fathom his sister’s thoughts!
"Mr. Lin is so young yet skilled in medicine. That’s truly deceiving by appearance, my apologies for my oversight," Yuan Kun said with a smile, expressing his admiration. In fact, he was also quite astonished inside. Leng Mei had unexpectedly found such a young man to treat General Meng. This... this was just too irregular. Everyone knows that the medical field is profound and it usually takes decades of dedicated study to become a renowned doctor, let alone to treat General Meng. How could someone so young be involved? What exactly was Leng Mei up to?
But despite his thoughts, Yuan Kun didn’t let anything show on the surface, maintaining his refined demeanor while speaking casually. And in his view, since Leng Hao would naturally ask everything he needed to know, there was no need for him to add fuel to the fire and risk Leng Mei’s resentment.
"Little brother, if you don’t know, don’t talk nonsense. Apologize to Lin Feng immediately. If it weren’t for Grandpa and me, Lin Feng would not have come to Capital City at all. What do you know? When Grandpa was in danger in Tianhai last time, it was Lin Feng who stepped in and saved his life! It was Grandpa who begged me this morning to bring Lin Feng to Capital City to treat Grandpa Meng!"
Upon hearing Leng Hao’s discourteous words, Leng Mei instantly felt a surge of anger, her face turning cold and she couldn’t restrain herself from scolding her younger brother. Without thinking, she revealed the incident of their grandfather Leng Hui falling ill in Tianhai, aiming to make her brother realize his mistake. Lin Feng wouldn’t have come to Capital City at all if not for the respect due to their grandfather and herself. She didn’t want Lin Feng to be upset, because if Lin Feng got angry and refused to treat Grandpa Meng, that would be a disaster!
However, Leng Mei’s words caused a commotion in the hearts of the two men in front.
What!
He saved Grandpa?
Upon hearing Leng Mei’s words, Leng Hao’s heart jumped. He knew about his grandfather’s incident, but he had been at the martial arts sect at the time. He only heard about the whole ordeal afterward, that a young man had saved his grandfather when even Uncle Chen, a true national treasure, could not. At the time, he was utterly shocked. Uncle Chen had an excellent relationship with the Leng family—not your average connection—and even he couldn’t save Grandpa. How could a young man have done it? That was beyond belief!
But never in his wildest dreams did he expect that this Lin Feng beside his sister was that person. He... He’s too young! How could someone so youthful possibly be more skilled than Uncle Chen? However, he knew even better that his sister wouldn’t speak carelessly—if she said it was so, then it had to be! With this in mind, Grandpa had sent him to pick up his sister this morning, but in reality, it was to bring this Lin Feng to treat Elder Meng...
"Lin... Teacher Lin, I’m... I’m sorry," Leng Hao finally couldn’t help but apologize to Lin Feng, who was resting with his eyes closed behind them, as his sister had instructed. On one hand, he didn’t want his sister to be upset; on the other hand, he truly feared that his rashness might drive Lin Feng away—and if that happened, Grandpa would skin him alive! Moreover, he cared greatly for Elder Meng. If this Lin Feng, who had saved his own grandfather, really had a way to cure Elder Meng as well, that would be fantastic!
Yet, as Leng Hao looked at Lin Feng, he couldn’t see how someone so young could possess such formidable medical skills. All the famous doctors were old; how could Lin Feng possibly be a master of medicine? It was inconceivable...
"Mr. Lin is truly talented and promising," Yuan Kun also exclaimed in surprise upon hearing Leng Mei’s words, praising him reflexively once again. He too had never dreamt that this Lin Feng was actually a French teacher, let alone the one who cured Leng Hui. This was all too unbelievable... What in the world was going on? Yuan Kun had a rough understanding of Leng Hui’s injury, but he never imagined that Lin Feng was the one who cured him!
But after a brief moment of shock, Yuan Kun sneered inwardly, dismissive of Lin Feng. He thought that Master Uncle Liu Hong was a Class S Medical Sage with medicine skills reaching the Heaven-Reaching realm, yet even he found Chief Elder Meng’s illness intractable. How could Lin Feng, so young, have any solutions? Even if Lin Feng had managed to save Leng Hao’s grandfather, it must have been sheer luck. And nobody knew the exact details of the situation then—perhaps Lin Feng had stumbled upon some miraculous elixir by chance.
How could Lin Feng, at such a tender age, be a medical expert? It was simply impossible! For all he knew, Lin Feng could be a charlatan who accidentally cured Leng Hui. Once they saw Meng Ping, Lin Feng’s deception would surely be exposed. How could Lin Feng possibly compare to Master Uncle Liu Hong? Since even Liu Hong hadn’t found a solution, how could Lin Feng possibly cure Meng Ping? That was utterly fanciful!
"Lin Feng, my younger brother is just a kid who doesn’t know any better. He’s been spoiled since childhood. Please don’t take it to heart!" After speaking with Leng Hao, Leng Mei turned to Lin Feng with a very sincere attitude. She understood Lin Feng—if anything happened to her or her grandfather, Lin Feng would most definitely get involved without holding back. However, Lin Feng had never been in the habit of helping strangers, so she hoped he wouldn’t mind this matter.
"It’s no trouble," Lin Feng reassured Leng Mei gently, though his voice was filled with warmth. She was worried about him getting upset, but Lin Feng had no intention of getting angry with an impetuous youngster, especially since he was Leng Mei’s brother. He felt no irritation at all.
Having said that, Lin Feng closed his eyes and focused on contemplating the situation he would face upon arriving at the Leng house. He also didn’t forget to subtly pat Leng Mei’s hand out of sight, signaling her not to worry so much.
Seeing Lin Feng close his eyes, Leng Mei knew he was deep in thought and so she stopped talking. But having her hand patted by Lin Feng made her feel immensely secure and warm. With Lin Feng present, there was nothing he couldn’t solve. Thinking this, she couldn’t help but steal a few more glances at him...
Witnessing this, Leng Hao voluntarily shut his mouth too and continued to drive attentively, although he occasionally couldn’t resist sizing up the young Lin Feng in the rearview mirror. No matter how he looked at it, Lin Feng didn’t seem like a master of medicine. In fact, Leng Hao found him quite objectionable and felt convinced that Lin Feng was a fraud. Trusting Lin Feng as the one who had cured his grandfather was simply something he could not do. What was his sister thinking by bringing this swindler over today?
Unbeknownst to himself, Leng Hao had already branded Lin Feng as a charlatan in his mind. He hoped that Lin Feng would screw up once they arrived at the Leng house, and then everyone would throw him out—that would make Leng Hao happy. Seeing Lin Feng with his sister just didn’t sit right with him!
Yuan Kun observed that Lin Feng had closed his eyes to rest and stopped talking. Outwardly, it seemed as if nothing had changed, but internally he was already plotting how to deal with Lin Feng once they arrived at the Leng house...
