My Amazing WeChat is Connected to the Three Realms - Chapter 37
In the afternoon, Du Chun called Lin Hai again.
“Master, I was wondering if you’re done with your work. Peng Tao is still here waiting for you.”
“Alright, I’m free now. I’ll be there soon.”
Lin Hai drove to the hospital and headed straight to the director’s office.
“Master, you’re here.” As soon as Lin Hai entered, Du Chun quickly stood up to greet him, his face plastered with an ingratiating smile.
Peng Tao, who was sitting nearby, was stunned.
Earlier that morning, Du Chun had mentioned wanting to become Lin Hai’s disciple, but Peng Tao hadn’t fully believed it. Now, seeing this scene, he was so shocked he almost dropped his jaw.
Instantly, his confidence in Lin Hai’s ability to treat his father grew stronger.
Lin Hai casually found a seat and sat down.
“How many times do I have to tell you? I haven’t agreed to take you as my disciple yet, so stop calling me master,” Lin Hai said impatiently.
Just thinking about Du Chun and Baldy Qiang gave Lin Hai a headache.
One had no emotional intelligence, and the other had no brains. They were definitely going to bring shame to his reputation in the future.
“Yes, yes, I understand. I’m still in the trial period,” Du Chun replied with a smile, nodding repeatedly.
Peng Tao was completely baffled.
What kind of person was Du Chun? He was someone who wanted to become Lin Hai’s disciple, but Lin Hai didn’t seem too keen on the idea. If this got out, who would believe it?
“Ah, Xiao Lin, about this morning… I’m sorry,” Peng Tao said, feeling a bit awkward even calling Lin Hai “Xiao Lin.”
“It’s fine,” Lin Hai waved it off generously.
“Let’s go see the patient. Unless you’re planning to feed me here?”
“Right, right, let’s go see the patient,” Du Chun and Peng Tao quickly agreed.
As they walked through the hospital, Lin Hai strode confidently at the front, with Du Chun and Peng Tao trailing half a step behind.
“Whoa, who is this guy? The hospital director and the police chief are personally accompanying him.”
“No idea. He looks so young. Probably not a high-ranking official. Maybe the child of some big shot?”
“Regardless, if the hospital director and the police chief are fawning over him like this, he must be a big deal!”
Hospital staff, patients, and their families all took notice of the scene, speculating about Lin Hai’s identity.
Lin Hai, of course, was oblivious to all this. He got into his car and followed Peng Tao’s police car to a villa complex in the eastern suburbs.
“Damn, Chief Peng, you’re living large. How much did you embezzle?” Lin Hai blurted out as he looked at the luxurious villa.
Peng Tao, who was leading the way, nearly tripped.
What the hell? Can’t you talk properly?
But since he needed Lin Hai’s help, Peng Tao took a deep breath and held his tongue.
“Xiao Lin, you’re joking. My family has some assets. There’s no way I could afford a villa on my salary.”
As they drove through the villa complex, Lin Hai couldn’t help but admire the lush greenery and picturesque scenery.
Damn, rich people really know how to live.
He suddenly remembered that he hadn’t asked Baldy Qiang about the house he was supposed to look into for him.
Now that he had some money, maybe he should buy a villa too, move his parents in, and let them enjoy a comfortable life.
“We’re here,” Peng Tao said, stopping in front of a villa slightly deeper into the complex.
As soon as Lin Hai stepped inside, he was blown away by the luxurious decor and high-end furniture.
Damn, no wonder everyone loves money. Being rich is just so good.
Looking at how these people lived, Lin Hai felt like he’d wasted the past twenty years of his life.
“Pfft, country bumpkin!”
“Huh?” Lin Hai, who had been looking around in awe, was interrupted by a sharp, mocking voice.
He looked up and saw a fashionable young woman in her twenties coming down the stairs.
“Third Sister, watch your mouth!” Peng Tao scolded the girl.
“Big Brother, just because you’re some police chief now doesn’t mean you can scold anyone you want. And don’t bring just anyone home. Look at him, gawking like a country bumpkin. What else would he be?”
“Shut up! Be respectful to Xiao Lin. He’s here to treat Dad!”
“Treat Dad? Him?” Peng Xue burst out laughing as if she’d just heard the funniest joke.
“Don’t mess around, Big Brother. Look at how he’s dressed. He looks like a beggar!”
Damn it, who’s the beggar here?
Even a clay figurine has some temper, and Lin Hai was no exception.
“Who’s this idiot? Your sister?” Lin Hai asked Peng Tao.
“Who are you calling an idiot? Who are you calling an idiot!” Peng Xue immediately flared up.
“Big Brother, look at the kind of people you’re bringing home. So vulgar! Get him out of here!”
“What’s all this noise?” A slightly plump woman came down the stairs.
“Mom, look at Big Brother. He’s bringing all sorts of people home!” Peng Xue immediately ran over to the woman and started whining.
“Xue’er, stop messing around. You’ve been abroad for so long, you might not know. This is Director Du from the City People’s Hospital. Call him Uncle Du,” Zhou Xiao quickly introduced Du Chun.
“Hmph! Forget it. I’m not worthy,” Du Chun snorted and turned his head away.
He had reached a point of near worship for Lin Hai, and seeing Peng Xue disrespect him, the stubborn old man immediately got upset.
“What’s so great about being a director? He still couldn’t cure Dad,” Peng Xue muttered under her breath.
“You child,” Zhou Xiao gently patted Peng Xue. “Director Du, I’m really sorry. I’ve spoiled Xue’er too much.”
Zhou Xiao smiled apologetically at Du Chun, but she didn’t even glance at Lin Hai.
“Director Du, Chief Peng, it seems I’m not very welcome here. I think I’ll just leave to avoid being a nuisance,” Lin Hai said, genuinely annoyed.
“You should’ve left earlier. No one asked you to stay!” Peng Xue rolled her eyes.
“Xue’er, shut up!” Peng Tao glared at his sister, then turned to Zhou Xiao. “Mom, this is Lin Hai. I invited him here to treat Dad.”
Zhou Xiao frowned. “Xiao Tao, why are you causing trouble too?”
“No, Mom…”
“Enough. Xue’er has already invited Professor Smith from Stanford University’s School of Medicine. He’s upstairs treating your father right now. I’m sure he’ll have a solution soon.”
Damn it, Lin Hai cursed himself. I’m such an idiot for coming here.
He turned around, ready to leave.
“Professor Smith, how’s my dad?” Peng Xue hurried over as an American man came out of a room on the second floor.
“Very strange. Very, very strange,” Professor Smith said in broken Chinese.
“Then… can you treat him?” Peng Xue asked anxiously.
“Ah.” Smith shook his head.
“What? Even you can’t treat him? You’re one of the best medical experts in the entire U.S., even the world!”
“Oh? Director Du, why are you here?” Smith didn’t answer Peng Xue’s question. Instead, he looked at Du Chun in surprise.
“Haha, Smith, it’s been five or six years, hasn’t it?” Du Chun was also happy to see his old friend.
Smith turned to Peng Xue. “With Director Du here, why did you even bother inviting me all the way from the U.S.? Director Du’s medical skills are even better than mine.”
“This…” Peng Xue was at a loss for words.
“Mr. Peng’s illness… I’m afraid I can’t help,” Smith shook his head and started heading downstairs, ready to leave.
“Let’s go too. Unless you want to wait here until they kick us out,” Lin Hai said to Du Chun, turning to leave as well.
“Wait!” Peng Tao quickly stopped Lin Hai.
“Xiao Lin, I’m sorry. My sister is just immature. Please, for my sake, take a look at my father?”
Peng Tao pleaded. He knew Lin Hai was his last hope.
“Big Brother, what are you talking about? How am I immature?”
“Shut up!” Peng Tao was getting desperate. His sister was really making things worse.
“I’m tired. Xue’er, help me see Professor Smith and Director Du out,” Zhou Xiao said, heading back to the bedroom on the second floor.
The message was clear: they were being dismissed.
Lin Hai laughed in frustration. Ignoring Peng Tao’s attempts to stop him, he left the villa with an equally angry Du Chun.
“Huh?” Just as they stepped outside, Lin Hai’s eyelids twitched.
At the same time, his Heavenly Eye technique activated on its own.
“Ghost!” Lin Hai screamed, his hair standing on end.
