Chapter 245 Tan Lin This Guy Is Amazing
To be honest, when it comes to monopolistic schemes, Wei Yu was the first to think of Donghai Commandery as the place where the incident happened.
“Ridiculous!”
A strong, assertive voice of the Left Court Judge rang out from behind, accompanied by the sound of a quilt being slapped, “Who on earth did this? Acting so recklessly! It's like they don't even take the officials seriously!”
Wei Yu turned to look at Left Court Judge who was stealing his lines, gently patted the quilt corner, and sincerely soothed, “Judge, please don’t get angry. You take a rest first, let me handle this.”
If his health was harmed by getting angry, that would truly be a big loss.
“Oh, alright, it was my rashness. I’ll take a rest now…”
The Left Court Judge settled back down.
Wei Yu turned his head and gestured for Doctor Shi to continue, “Who did this? Doctor Shi, your medical skills are so advanced, why are you unharmed?”
Such a suspicious point was obvious after a moment’s thought, but no one dared to question it beyond Wei Yu. After hearing this, everyone present looked at Doctor Shi. “Why am I unharmed? Hah, of course, it’s because I’m from the Shi family!”
The Shi family? Shi family??
Wei Yu frowned, “What do you mean, Shi family?”
Doctor Shi’s smile turned mocking, “In Donghai Commandery there is a Shi family whose heads have been madmen for generations. For their own selfishness and to preserve their legacy for centuries, they allied behind the scenes with certain people. The Shi family has their own medical books and records, but insatiable as they are, they kidnapped many talented doctors secretly with help from their backers and forced them to reveal their family medical secrets… My mother was one of them.”
Ah ha?
Wei Yu blinked, “Your mother? If you’re not from the Shi family, how come your mother…”
Midway through, Wei Yu suddenly understood.
To be able to do something like kidnapping people, the Shi family clearly didn’t play by the rules. It was true that Doctor Shi’s mother was a highly skilled doctor, but she was also a woman!
Perhaps even a woman of decent looks?
Otherwise, how could someone in the Shi family commit such a heinous, beastly act?!
Wei Yu glanced at the cold-faced Doctor Shi and his mind spontaneously composed a three-thousand-word inner essay about “Daughters must be strong,” “The rising story of a phoenix who refuses to bow,” “I have endured so many hardships,” and so on.
Beside Doctor Shi, Tan Lin was looking at her with pity.
He didn’t comfort her with empty words lightly because he knew Doctor Shi’s personality — she was not a weak-hearted woman. Rather than casually belittling someone, it was better to quietly accompany her.
Regarding Doctor Shi’s background, Wei Yu had figured it out.
After some thought, he looked at Doctor Shi sincerely and asked, “You want to take revenge on the Shi family, right?”
Doctor Shi returned his gaze, her eyes firm and carrying unmistakable hatred.
Not towards Wei Yu, but towards the Shi family.
“All Shi family members deserve to die, don’t they?”
“Hmm, you have a point.”
Wei Yu nodded ambiguously, then when Doctor Shi’s expression softened a bit, he added, “You’re also from the Shi family, don’t you think you deserve to die too?”
Doctor Shi froze.
Not every criminal’s family member deserves to die. If one is at fault, they should be punished; but if not, what crime is there?
Wei Yu did not believe the Shi family lacked even one misguided child or someone like Doctor Shi.
“You’re being obsessive.”
Wei Yu quietly looked at Doctor Shi, “When a person is blinded by hatred, they see everything as wrong. If you’re not afraid of dying, does it mean you truly have no one you care about inside? Or no one who cares about you?”
Wei Yu’s words were gentle, and his subtle words of guidance struck the silent room — no one dared to speak.
Doctor Shi lowered her head, lips tight, her exact expression unreadable from the front.
The Left Court Judge lay on the couch, taking advantage of being behind His Highness, since His Highness couldn’t see him, his eyes flicked back and forth between Doctor Shi and Tan Lin, and the gossip sparkle in his eyes gave him a somewhat sleazy vibe!
They say people get cunning with age; although the Left Court Judge only met Doctor Shi a few days ago and had only worked with Tan Lin and Doctor Shi for a day and a half, his eyes were sharp!
The aura between these two young people, the unique magnetic field when together — anyone with eyes wouldn’t be mistaken!
The Left Court Judge was old but young at heart; even lying in bed he wouldn’t miss a chance to gossip.
Yu Pufan felt the same.
Eating gossip — when people have nothing better to do, they only have gossip to add some fun to life.
Right now, His Highness the Wise King was obviously targeting Doctor Shi and Tan Lin, and to avoid collateral damage, Yu Pufan quietly moved his stool a bit farther away.
Though it was silent, Doctor Yu moving the stool so carefully still caught Wei Yu’s attention.
He glanced at Doctor Yu, who gave a flattering yet cute smile.
Hmm… okay, no trouble for this one.
Wei Yu then looked again at Doctor Shi and Tan Lin.
The reason why the cold beauty is called a cold beauty is because it takes much to move her.
When a woman stubbornly holds on, she’s truly scary.
Tan Lin cared for Doctor Shi deeply.
He wouldn’t blame Wei Yu — after all, His Highness’ words were right. Even though he had feelings for Doctor Shi, if one really looked closely… he didn’t want to see Doctor Shi remain like this.
A heart full of hatred, if not let go, can never find happiness in the lifetime ahead.
Looking at Doctor Shi’s profile, Tan Lin softly said, “I do not know your past, nor can I decide the fate of the Shi family, but today I, Tan Lin, promise you, whatever happens in the future, I will always accompany you.”
On the opposite side, Wei Yu: ?
Why is he suddenly confessing?!
The gossip genes were flashing. Wei Yu blinked, silent, not even taking a breath, afraid that breathing too loudly would startle these people.
The Left Court Judge quietly propped himself up to peek, Yu Pufan glanced sideways.
— After the critique is out of the way, everyone just wants to enjoy this confession gossip!
True feelings are always the most touching, and Doctor Shi was moved.
She turned to look at Tan Lin but said nothing.
Not speaking was okay — to Tan Lin, as long as Doctor Shi reacted to his words, that was enough.
This could prove that, in Doctor Shi’s heart, there was actually some feeling for him, right?
Tan Lin smiled, a little shyly, but his words were very gentle, “Although it’s perhaps presumptuous to say this now, I’m afraid if I don’t say it now, I won’t find such a good chance in the future…”
Tan Lin pressed his lips and looked at Doctor Shi with eyes soft as stars, “Tan Lin admires you, Doctor Shi. I wish to offer a vow for growing old together — to put it in writing on fine paper, to record the covenant of red leaves, and to mark the mandarin ducks’ register. May I ask the lady’s heart?”
Wei Yu: ???!!!
Wei Yu’s eyes nearly popped out in disbelief.
Damn it, Tan Lin this guy is really something!
Making a grand-scale proposal right now in this scene — he really blocked everyone out!!!
The gossip fans were about to burst from too much excitement, but what about the protagonists?
Doctor Shi stared at Tan Lin for a few seconds, then uttered a line:
“There are still people in the room.”
