"That's right, the old man's illness might have healed on its own. What does it have to do with him?"

A well-dressed, portly man squeezed out of the crowd. His name was Zhao Fugui. He had been dealing in local Chinese medicinal herbs for many years and was considered a semi-expert. He pushed his gold-rimmed glasses up on the bridge of his nose and sneered, "I think this guy probably added some stimulating hormone to the medicine to temporarily improve the old man's spirits and create the illusion of a cure. I've seen this kind of trick many times."

"Makes sense!"

"No wonder the old man is suddenly so energetic, so this is the case."

Everyone echoed this, looking at Xiao Jin with even more unfriendly eyes.

Liu Ying's eyes turned red with anxiety: "What nonsense are you talking about! Mr. Xiao's medical skills..."

"Ying'er, stop talking." Liu Zhiyuan, the second uncle of the Liu family, came over and patted her shoulder. "We are also concerned about the old man. If it really is some hormone drug, it will cause great harm to the body."

Even the Liu family began to waver, and Liu Ying felt extremely wronged and angry.

Zhao Fugui was even more proud when he saw this, and he said loudly: "Since you said this guy has excellent medical skills, then let him take out another pill and we will test it to see what ingredients are inside."

"Yes! Take it out and test it!"

"If you don't dare to take it, it means you are guilty!"

Xiao Jin finally said: "Impossible."

Those three simple words instantly brought silence to the scene. Everyone looked at him, their eyes filled with confusion and anger.

"Look! He doesn't dare!" Zhao Fugui pointed at Xiao Jin, "He must be feeling guilty!"

"I told you, it must be fake medicine!"

"How could the Liu family let such a liar in?"

Doubts came like a tide, but Xiao Jin remained calm, as if these voices had nothing to do with him.

Liu Ying bit her lip and wanted to defend him, but was stopped by Liu Zhiyuan: "Ying'er, calm down. What if there is really a problem..."

"Second Uncle, why are you..." Liu Ying had tears in her eyes and felt more isolated and helpless than ever before.

Seeing Xiao Jin remained silent, Zhao Fugui became even more arrogant: "I even invited a pharmacist friend to come over." He waved to the crowd, "Old Li, come and see this liar."

A thin man wearing thick glasses squeezed over. His name was Pharmacist Li, and he was a local celebrity. Pharmacist Li looked Xiao Jin over and shook his head. "You're so young, what medical skills do you have? Young man, if you're really capable, write out the prescription and let me prepare it for you."

"Yes! Write a prescription!"

"If you don't dare to write, then it's fake!"

Xiao Jin said calmly, "I won't show my recipe to anyone."

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene went into an uproar.

"You really think you're a miracle doctor!"

"The recipe is kept secret? I think they're afraid of it being exposed!"

"How can the Liu family trust such a person?"

Even some of the Liu family's servants began to whisper and cast suspicious glances at Xiao Jin.

Liu Ying was so anxious that she almost cried: "Why don't you believe him? You all saw the old man's condition. It was so serious before, but now it's obviously much better..."

"Ying'er, you're too naive," Liu Zhiyuan sighed. "Scammers these days are very sophisticated. A temporary improvement doesn't mean anything. What if it's just a temporary solution?"

Xiao Jin looked around at these people and felt a surge of annoyance. He turned around and went back to his room, too lazy to bother with these people.

"Want to leave? Not that easy!" Zhao Fugui stopped him. "Don't even think about leaving if you don't explain everything clearly!"

"That's right! You must give an explanation!"

"We can't let the liar get away!"

The crowd began to get agitated, and some even tried to stop Xiao Jin.

At this moment, an old but majestic voice came: "Stop it!"

Everyone turned around and saw an old man in a wheelchair slowly entering the yard. The wheelchair was custom-made and looked quite valuable, and it was pushed by a well-dressed middle-aged man.

"Mr. Lin!"

"It's Mr. Lin from the Lin Group!"

The crowd automatically made way for him, their eyes filled with awe. The Lin Group's local status was no less than that of the Liu family, and Elder Lin Zhentian was a legendary figure, though he had been in poor health for years and rarely appeared in public.

Lin Zhentian glanced around, his dignified gaze making everyone afraid to look directly at him. "I heard that Mr. Liu had recovered from his illness, so I came to see him. I didn't expect to encounter such a scene."

Liu Zhiyuan quickly stepped forward and saluted: "Mr. Lin, why did you come here in person?"

"Mr. Liu is an old friend of mine. I've always been concerned about his condition." Lin Zhentian said, his eyes falling on Xiao Jin. "Is this the miracle doctor who cured Mr. Liu?"

Zhao Fugui rushed to say, "Mr. Lin, don't be fooled! This guy is a charlatan, using hormone drugs to harm people..."

"Shut up!" Lin Zhentian said coldly, "How can you be so presumptuous in front of me?"

Zhao Fugui immediately shrank his neck and dared not speak anymore.

Lin Zhentian looked at Xiao Jin again, his eyes scrutinizing him: "Young man, I heard that you are an excellent doctor, I wonder..."

Xiao Jin just glanced at him indifferently and continued walking towards the room.

This glance shocked Lin Zhentian. This young man's eyes were so special, as if they could see through everything. Moreover, he seemed to have seen something in that glance...

"Wait!" Lin Zhentian suddenly spoke.

Xiao Jin stopped and looked back at him.

Lin Zhentian hesitated for a moment and asked, "Did you...did you see anything just now?"

Xiao Jin said calmly, "There's some residual poison in your body that hasn't been cleared, so your health is fluctuating."

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

Lin Zhentian's face suddenly changed when he heard Xiao Jin's words. His physical condition had always been a mystery, and even the most authoritative doctors couldn't explain it. They only knew that he often became inexplicably weak, and sometimes suddenly got better.

"You...how do you know?" Lin Zhentian's voice trembled slightly.

Xiao Jin said calmly, "To know by sight is called divine."

This sentence from an ancient medical text stunned everyone present. Even Pharmacist Li's eyes widened. This was not something an ordinary person could say.

Zhao Fugui shouted unwillingly, "You're playing tricks! What's with the lingering poison? You're talking so mysteriously, who knows if it's just a guess?"

"That's right! Just make up a reason to fool people!" someone echoed.

But Lin Zhentian's expression grew increasingly serious. His physical condition was indeed as Xiao Jin had described, and the word "residual poison" reminded him of the accident twenty years ago...

"Can you cure it?" Lin Zhentian asked directly.

Xiao Jin glanced at him and said, "Yes. But I won't prove it to anyone."

After saying that, he really turned around and left, and no matter how the people behind him shouted, he did not look back.

"This arrogant brat!" Zhao Fugui was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. "Mr. Lin, don't believe his nonsense!"

But Lin Zhentian fell into deep thought. Twenty years ago, he had been poisoned during a business negotiation. Although he had survived, his health had deteriorated significantly since then. Could it be that, as the young man had said, there was still some poison in his body?

"Mr. Lin?" The middle-aged man pushing the wheelchair reminded in a low voice.

Lin Zhentian came back to his senses and looked at Liu Zhiyuan: "Brother Liu, can I meet your father?"
