Fake Miracle Doctor Meets the Real Miracle Doctor

"Mr. Jiang, what method did you use to cure Ms. Yu?"

As soon as the attending physician asked this question, it caught the attention of everyone in the room.

Jiang Che, however, wasn’t in a hurry. After all, he had already arranged for an actor to play the part.

"Come in!"

As soon as Jiang Che finished speaking, an elderly man with a white beard walked into the ward. He was dressed in a long white robe, giving off an air of otherworldly wisdom.

Standing with his hands behind his back, it was clear at a glance that he was no ordinary person.

The old man walked up to Jiang Che and gave a slight bow.

"Young Master Jiang!"

The appearance of the old man drew the attention of many in the room. The attending physician pointed at him and asked, "And who might this be?"

"This old man is named Lin Xiaotian. My ancestors served as royal physicians, and I am the current head of the Ghost Doctor Sect. It was I whom Young Master Jiang invited to cure this lady's illness."

As soon as these words were spoken, the doctors were stunned!

They all looked at the old man as if he were a deity.

Though they were reluctant to admit it, the Dragon Country did indeed have its fair share of extraordinary individuals. After all, with so many ancient martial artists in the country, it was no surprise that there were also many legendary old Chinese medicine practitioners!

And this old man, claiming to be both a royal physician and the head of the Ghost Doctor Sect, certainly sounded impressive.

They weren’t about to question his medical skills, especially since Yu Weiwei’s uremia had indeed been cured. Facts spoke louder than words!

The doctors quickly began to fawn over the old man, and the old man, with his silver tongue, was more than capable of spinning tales. He was like a pig wearing a bra—layers upon layers of deception.

Jiang Che nodded in approval. The old man’s acting was on point.

That’s right, the old man was an extra Wang Zheng had pulled from Hengdian. When he heard he’d be paid ten thousand yuan for a single performance, he had eagerly rushed over.

It was said that the old man had previously acted in many fake medicine commercials, promoting everything from bear-based remedies to treatments for rheumatism, bone diseases, and cardiovascular issues. Playing the role of a miracle doctor? Piece of cake!

Yu Wan'er also ran up to the old man. "Grandpa, thank you for saving my mom!"

The little girl’s heart was pure, her large, watery eyes filled with gratitude. But she clearly didn’t know... that the old man was just an actor hired by Jiang Che.

A few drops of cold sweat appeared on the old man’s forehead. "Ahem... This old man doesn’t usually intervene to save others. I only helped your mother to repay a debt of gratitude to Young Master Jiang."

They say that as people grow old, they become cunning. This old man certainly knew how to play his part.

He deftly shifted all the credit to Jiang Che.

Yu Wan'er stole a glance at Jiang Che, her face turning red as she looked away.

[You big pervert! Don’t think I don’t know what you’re after...]

[You definitely didn’t save my mom out of the goodness of your heart. You’re probably going to make some weird, perverted demand of me...]

The little girl’s thoughts were in complete disarray.

Yu Weiwei, lying in the hospital bed, had remained silent the entire time. She knew exactly what was going on, but she chose not to speak up.

She had already figured out that the Lin Yu who had come to treat her earlier was nothing more than a pawn.

Jiang Che was far from the innocent, kind-hearted person he appeared to be. He was cunning and calculating, but Yu Weiwei didn’t care.

As long as Jiang Che treated Wan'er well, that was enough. He had gone to such great lengths, even hiring an actor, just to win Wan'er’s favor.

It was clear that Young Master Jiang genuinely cared for Wan'er, and that was all that mattered.

As for any moral dilemmas, she could only silently apologize to that Lin Yu fellow in her heart.

...

Meanwhile, outside the ward.

Lin Yu arrived late.

After curing Yu Weiwei, he had planned to come clean with Yu Wan'er. He knew he couldn’t wait any longer. If it were up to his usual cautious nature, he would have taken things slow, gradually building up to the confession.

But time was of the essence now. If he didn’t come clean soon... he was afraid he might miss his chance.

"Why are there so many doctors here? Heh... they must be amazed by my miraculous medical skills!"

But soon, Lin Yu’s expression darkened. He glanced down at his crotch and reached in to adjust himself.

A wave of sorrow washed over him, and he couldn’t help but shed a few tears. They say a doctor can’t heal himself.

Here he was, the esteemed heir of the Ghost Doctor Sect, capable of curing uremia, yet unable to fix his own... predicament.

Just as Lin Yu was wallowing in self-pity, the voices from inside the ward caught his attention.

"Ah... Master Lin Xiaotian, would you consider working at our traditional Chinese medicine hospital for a while? We can offer you a generous fee."

"Today has truly been an eye-opener. I always thought ancient Chinese medicine was just a legend, but seeing it in person is truly awe-inspiring..."

Lin Yu immediately latched onto the key phrase!

Lin Xiaotian???

Wasn’t that his master?

And they were calling him a miracle doctor?

Could it be that his master had come to the mortal world to check on him?

In an instant, Lin Yu was filled with excitement!

Heaven knew how much suffering he had endured lately, how much he had been reduced to a shell of his former self!

If his master, the miracle doctor, had come, then there was no doubt he could turn this miserable situation around.

But wasn’t Master Lin Xiaotian forbidden from entering the mortal world? He must have risked everything to come down the mountain because he was worried about me!

Thinking this, Lin Yu couldn’t help but feel deeply moved.

Without hesitation, he pushed open the door.

"Master, you’ve finally come to see me!"

But as soon as Lin Yu stepped inside, he froze.

He looked around but didn’t see his master anywhere. Instead, there was that damn Jiang Che, holding Yu Wan'er’s hand, with Ye Mengyao standing beside them!

The doctors glanced at him, but their attention lasted only a second before they went back to their conversations.

Lin Yu’s lips twitched, and he felt incredibly awkward!

No one was paying him any attention?

"Wan'er, Mengyao, it’s been a while!"

Lin Yu tried to strike up a conversation, squeezing his way to the front with a flattering smile. He casually ran a hand through his hair, a faint smirk on his lips as he looked out the window.

Yu Wan'er frowned. Who was this wild man?

Ye Mengyao was also annoyed. She had almost forgotten who this guy was, and now he was calling her "Mengyao"? Who did he think he was?

Unsurprisingly, he was ignored once again.

"Ahem... Wan'er, how’s your mom’s condition?"

The little girl rolled her eyes. "What does my mom’s condition have to do with you?"

Lin Yu was taken aback, then grew anxious. "Didn’t your mom tell you? I was the one who saved her!"

Yu Wan'er couldn’t help but laugh at this. "You saved my mom?"

"That’s right!" Lin Yu still hadn’t realized the gravity of the situation.

"Who are you? Why don’t you take a look at yourself in the mirror! You look like a beggar!"

Ye Mengyao also chimed in, indignant. Where did this beggar come from?

"It was Master Lin who saved Auntie Yu. Who do you think you are?"

Ye Mengyao pointed at the fake "Lin Xiaotian," who was surrounded by doctors.

Meanwhile, the imposter old man, though feeling a bit guilty, maintained his composure. After all, he was a professional extra who had played all sorts of miracle doctors.

The old "miracle doctor" stroked his white beard and stepped forward.

"Indeed! It was this old man who cured Ms. Yu. And who might you be?"

Lin Yu: "???"
