I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

When Lin Bei walked out of the ward, more than a dozen people had gathered in the corridor. Some of them were relatives and friends of the Liu family, some had come to visit after hearing that the old man's condition had improved, and a few were doctors and nurses from the hospital.

"Isn't this the son-in-law of the Wang family?" Someone in the crowd recognized Lin Bei.

"I heard that you were kicked out of the Wang family. Why did you end up in the Liu family?"

"Are you trying to climb up the Liu family's tree?"

The whispers reached Lin Bei's ears, but he remained calm, as if he hadn't heard anything. Liu Ying followed him out of the ward and was displeased to see these people pointing fingers at Lin Bei.

"Everyone, my grandfather is fine now. Thank you for your concern." Liu Ying said politely.

"Xiaoying, your grandfather's condition has improved, and we're all very happy." Liu Jianguo, a distant uncle of the Liu family, stepped forward. "But I heard that it was this gentleman who treated the old man?"

Liu Ying nodded: "Yes, Lin Bei's medical skills are very good."

Liu Jianguo looked at Lin Bei with suspicion in his eyes. "Xiaoying, you're still young and inexperienced. This kind of charlatan is perfect for deceiving young girls. The old man's illness is so serious that even the experts at the hospital are helpless. How can a young man like him possibly cure him?"

"That's right, and he's the trash kicked out by the Wang family!" Another relative of the Liu family echoed.

Liu Ying's face flushed: "Don't talk like that! My grandfather's illness was indeed cured by Lin Bei, you can go ask the doctor!"

"Xiaoying, don't be fooled." Liu Jianguo shook his head. "People like this are the best at playing tricks."

At this moment, a middle-aged man in his fifties stepped out of the crowd. He was well-dressed and looked quite prestigious. He was He Zhiqiang, a local businessman who dealt in traditional Chinese medicine.

"Sir, I heard that you prescribed some miracle medicine for the old man?" He Zhiqiang looked at Lin Bei with a smile.

Lin Bei glanced at him calmly: "Is there any problem?"

"That's a big problem." He Zhiqiang sneered. "I've been in the Chinese medicine business for over 20 years. What medicinal herbs haven't I seen? The old man's condition requires long-term conditioning. It's impossible for him to be fully energetic overnight. Did you add some hormone-based Western medicine to the medicine?"

"Nonsense!" Liu Ying said angrily.

He Zhiqiang waved his hand. "Little girl, you don't understand. Some criminals, in order to show off their medical skills, secretly add hormones to traditional Chinese medicine to make patients feel better temporarily. However, this has serious consequences. Once the effect of the medicine wears off, the condition will rebound even more severely."

His words aroused discussion among the people around him, and everyone thought they made sense.

"How about this, take out another pill of your magic medicine and I'll ask a professional organization to test the ingredients to see what's inside." He Zhiqiang made a request.

Lin Bei had no expression on his face: "Impossible."

"See, you're feeling guilty!" He Zhiqiang said proudly, "If it's really pure Chinese medicine, why don't you dare test it?"

"That's right, what's there to be afraid of?"

"There must be something fishy going on!"

The onlookers echoed the sentiment, and even some members of the Liu family began to waver.

Liu Jianguo frowned and looked at Lin Bei: "Young man, if your medicine is really fine, there is no harm in testing it."

"My prescription is a secret recipe passed down from my ancestors. I can't just test it on anyone." Lin Bei said calmly.

"Ha, a secret recipe passed down from generation to generation?" He Zhiqiang sneered, "That's what all the scammers say nowadays."

At this moment, He Zhiqiang took out his phone and made a call. After a while, a middle-aged woman wearing glasses hurried over.

"This is my friend, Dr. Li, a well-known pharmacist in the city," He Zhiqiang introduced. "Dr. Li, could you please take a look at me?"

Dr. Li pushed up his glasses and looked at Lin Bei seriously. "If you're truly a Chinese medicine practitioner, you should know what prescription you're prescribing, right? Write it down and we'll analyze its pharmacology. That will give everyone an explanation."

"No need." Lin Bei refused bluntly.

"Look, you don't even dare to write a prescription!" Dr. Li shook his head. "I've been a pharmacist for over a decade and have seen too many charlatans like this. Real Chinese medicine practitioners have a theoretical basis and can explain their medication logic. You're being so secretive, it's clear you're guilty!"

The doubts grew louder and louder, and even some people in the Liu family began to doubt.

"Xiaoying, why don't you ask Mr. Lin to cooperate with the test?" Liu Ying's cousin Liu Ya gently advised, "If there really is a problem, it will be bad for Grandpa's health."

Liu Ying bit her lip, feeling conflicted. She believed in Lin Bei, but faced with so many people questioning her, she couldn't help but waver.

Lin Bei glanced at Liu Ying and smiled faintly: "It seems that you have begun to doubt me too."

"I..." Liu Ying opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

"In that case, I won't stay any longer." Lin Bei turned around and was about to leave.

"Stop!" He Zhiqiang shouted loudly, "You want to leave before you figure out the situation? If something happens to the old man, can you bear the responsibility?"

"That's right, we can't let him go!"

"We must make things clear!"

The crowd was furious, and some even wanted to stop Lin Bei.

Just then, the elevator door opened and a familiar figure walked out.

"Master!"

As soon as Wang Dingguo saw Lin Bei, he quickly walked over. In front of everyone's surprised gaze, he knelt down respectfully and performed a standard master-disciple ceremony.

"Disciple Wang Dingguo, I pay my respects to Master!"

The scene instantly fell silent, their eyes widening. Wang Dingguo was a renowned figure in the local area, known for his exceptional medical skills, having cured countless difficult illnesses. Even the city's leaders would seek him out when they fell ill. Such a figure, actually kneeling before Lin Bei?

Wang Dingguo stood up after performing the ceremony and looked at everyone seriously: "I just heard someone downstairs questioning my master's medical skills. How ignorant!"

"Doctor Wang...Doctor Wang, you said he was your master?" Dr. Li asked stutteringly.

"That's right." Wang Dingguo held his head high and chest puffed out. "My medical skills were all taught by my master. How could you, a frog in a well, possibly understand the depth of my master's medical skills?"

He Zhiqiang's face turned grim: "Doctor Wang, are you mistaken? How old is this kid? How could he be your master?"

"Master is indeed young, but his medical skills are far beyond the imagination of ordinary people." Wang Dingguo looked at He Zhiqiang coldly, "How dare you, a businessman dealing in medicinal herbs, dictate to my master?"

"But..." Dr. Li wanted to say something.

"No buts!" Wang Dingguo interrupted her. "My master cured the old man's illness, which is a blessing for him. You people are ungrateful and are spreading rumors and slander here. You are simply shameless!"

Wang Dingguo's words made everyone present blush, but some people still had doubts.
