CHAPTER 724: CHAPTER 724

Mayor Wu was extremely surprised that Lin Fan actually knew about his near-death experience when he was young. At that time, Mayor Wu was in his twenties, had just graduated from university, and was working in a rural area.

Once, while doing farm work in the mountains, Mayor Wu was hungry and picked some wild fruits to eat. Who knew that after eating them, he would faint? According to his companions, Mayor Wu fell to the ground, with cold limbs and a dark face, seemingly on the brink of death.

His companions quickly carried Mayor Wu to a village clinic, where an old doctor was on duty. What method this old doctor used is unknown, but after some effort, he managed to save Mayor Wu, becoming Wu’s lifesaver.

Mayor Wu was very grateful to this village doctor. Even after being transferred away from the village, he would return every year to visit the doctor and express his gratitude. When the doctor passed away, Mayor Wu personally attended the funeral, and thereafter, he visited every year during Qingming to pay his respects.

This incident happened many years ago, and when Mayor Wu thought about it, he was full of gratitude, never expecting that the experience would leave a hidden illness.

Now hearing Lin Fan mention it, he couldn’t help but feel incredibly surprised.

After hearing Mayor Wu’s story, Lin Fan said, "The wild fruit you ate at that time contained a rare toxin. The old village doctor was very skilled to have been able to help you dissolve the toxin. Unfortunately, although the doctor saved you, he left a hidden illness in your body. After all these years, the illness has started to activate, causing your loss of vital energy and blood."

Mayor Wu broke out in a cold sweat, having sought medical advice for a long time, yet only now discovering the cause of his illness.

"Mr. Lin, if I don’t treat this illness, what will happen?" Mayor Wu asked.

Lin Fan replied, "You’ll die."

Concise and direct.

Secretary Jin was startled, "Mr. Lin, how should it be treated, can you cure the Mayor?"

Lin Fan said, "It’s quite simple. I can perform acupuncture on the Mayor and prescribe a formula to adjust his vital energy and blood, which will thoroughly cure it. This matter should not be delayed; I can do the acupuncture right now."

Secretary Jin said, "In that case, please proceed with the acupuncture for the Mayor immediately."

Mayor Wu said, "I would be grateful, Mr. Lin."

Lin Fan then took out his silver needles and performed the Yin Yang Eighteen Needles, beginning the acupuncture for Mayor Wu.

"Mr. Lin, I heard from Old Jin that recently a deliveryman was nearly beaten to death by the security guard. Fortunately, he was saved by a miraculous physician. Was that physician you?" Mayor Wu asked.

Lin Fan nodded, "Yes, it was me."

That day was precisely when he received the top-level medical skill reward, and that deliveryman was the first person he saved using his medical skill.

Confirmed directly!

Mayor Wu and Secretary Jin exchanged a glance, both showing expressions of shock.

"Mr. Lin, I didn’t expect you to be a miraculous physician. Mr. Lin, you are so young, it’s almost divine," Secretary Jin couldn’t help exclaiming.

No wonder, the mysterious rich mortal Mr. Lin; this Mr. Lin carries a layer of mystery himself, as if he emerged out of nowhere, with a background that’s hard to fathom.

What is his origin that he can achieve such astounding success at such a young age?

Mayor Wu was also immensely surprised. As the mayor, he had met many outstanding young people, but someone like Lin Fan is one in a million. The so-called promising youths he met before altogether could not match up to Lin Fan.

After thinking, only one term could describe him: remarkably talented!

Lin Fan is the kind of unparalleled genius!

Only this explanation could make sense of why Lin Fan is so formidable at such a young age.

Lin Fan found it amusing in his heart. Naturally, he wouldn’t tell them that everything he has is brought by the system.

"No big deal, I have been interested in medicine since I was young, so I took time to study it," Lin Fan casually lied.

Mayor Wu curiously asked, "Mr. Lin, because of this illness, I know many famous physicians, some I haven’t met in person, but most I’ve heard of. May I ask, who did you learn from?"

Lin Fan replied earnestly, "Learn from? No one. I’m self-taught; I haven’t even been to a medical school, no mentorship. If I must say who I learned from, then interest is the best teacher."

Mayor Wu and Secretary Jin heard this and looked at each other, both staring wide-eyed.

Goodness!

Self-study is not a new thing, but to self-study into a miraculous physician?

Now that’s refreshing. This Mr. Lin is truly an extraordinary genius.

"Mr. Lin, how long will it take for the Mayor to recover from this illness?" Secretary Jin asked, which was his biggest concern. He did not want the Mayor to retire early due to this illness. The Mayor still had ambitions yet to realize, which were also his ambitions.

Lin Fan said, "It won’t take long. After following my prescription and medication adjustment, you’ll be completely cured in about a week. Of course, that’s because the treatment is done early. If we delay, wait until the root of the illness takes firm hold, and the hidden illness fully activates, forget about me being a mortal, even if I were an Immortal, it would be impossible to reverse it. Some things are just like this; they cannot wait until the catastrophe becomes unmanageable. They need to be resolved early, to be decisive. Mayor, don’t you agree?"

Lin Fan is speaking with undertones!

How could Mayor Wu not understand the reasoning?

Lin Fan was using the example of treating illness to advise him that the monopolization by the Wei Family cannot be ignored. If allowed to grow, it would be very troublesome to deal with later.

Mayor Wu said, "Mr. Lin’s words are very reasonable. I have already made up my mind."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan smiled slightly.

Half an hour later.

Lin Fan collected the silver needles, took a pen and paper, and said while writing, "After my acupuncture, you won’t experience dizziness again. I will now prescribe a formula; boil three bowls of water into one, take it morning and night, continuously for seven days, without interruption."

While speaking, Lin Fan had already finished writing the prescription and handed it to Mayor Wu.

Secretary Jin accepted the prescription from the side, "I’ll arrange it, as the Mayor is busy and might forget to take the medication."

After the acupuncture, Mayor Wu felt an indescribable comfort throughout his body, and his spirit improved. He couldn’t help but marvel at Lin Fan’s acupuncture skill; it truly was magical.

Mayor Wu gratefully looked at Lin Fan, "Thank you, Mr. Lin."

Lin Fan got up and smiled, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave."

The purpose of his visit to the municipal office today had been achieved. He had done all he could; next, it depended on the municipal office, which was beyond his control.

After Lin Fan left, Mayor Wu bowed his head in thought for a moment.

When he raised his head again, Mayor Wu’s gaze was resolute, "Old Jin, help me convene a meeting. We need to discuss the antitrust issue."

Wangu Mansion.

Wei Tiansheng was still smug about it. With the strength of the Wei Family, even if Yun City wanted to act against him, they’d have to weigh their options. Their consideration resulted in protecting him, thus Lin Fan’s plan failed. How could he not feel smug?

However, at this moment, Wei Tiansheng suddenly received news from the municipal office that the Mayor had formally initiated the antitrust investigation into the Wei Family community group buying project!

"What?"

Wei Tiansheng’s face changed dramatically.
