Gu Lele's heart sank when he heard Ling Tian's words. He couldn't understand why Ling Tian would refuse him.
Recalling his own performance, he had been smiling since Ling Tian deplaned, and hadn't made any inappropriate moves. Yet, this future boss didn't seem to be swayed by it. Ling Tian was no ordinary person. Although Gu Lele's emotional changes were not visible on his face, Ling Tian had keenly sensed his inner fluctuations. Having followed several astute teachers, Ling Tian had long since mastered the art of understanding people's psychology.
"Brother Gu, this has nothing to do with you. Don't overthink it. The main reason is that the doctors hired by the Feng family, especially the world-class renowned physicians, all met with misfortune before treating Old Mr. Gu.
Either their families had accidents, they were involved in car crashes, or they suffered sudden illnesses. I believe you are aware of these incidents. I had also communicated with my teachers beforehand, and they unanimously agreed that these were not coincidental events. It's highly likely they were targeting me as well!"
"I've heard about these incidents, which is precisely why I need to accompany you. I've been practicing martial arts since I was young, and it's difficult for three or four people to get close to me. Moreover, I will arrange for over a dozen bodyguards for you, all elites cultivated by our Tianxi Group, to ensure your absolute safety!"
Gu Lele quickly stated his case, afraid of losing this opportunity to attach himself to someone powerful.
"Brother Gu, I truly appreciate your kindness, but it's unnecessary. Sending bodyguards for me is useless! You must understand that I might be facing not ordinary people this time, but powerful Khun Phi, who can kill without a trace. Do you think your men are a match for Khun Phi?"
"This..." Gu Lele fell silent, unsure of what to say. If he were from China, he might not grasp how terrifying Khun Phi were. However, Gu Lele had been living and working in Malaysia for over a decade, and he had heard about Khun Phi and knew how formidable they were. Just as Ling Tian said, over a dozen elite bodyguards probably wouldn't be able to do much against Khun Phi.
"Well, Mr. Ling Tian, our group has money. We can also hire some powerful Khun Phi..."
"There's a saying, 'Those not of our kind have different hearts.' Those Khun Phi are foreigners. Can you guarantee their reliability? Can you guarantee they aren't infiltrators disguised as my entourage? Can you guarantee they won't abandon me and flee when danger strikes?"
Ling Tian posed a series of questions that left the other party somewhat speechless. Indeed, as Ling Tian had said, those Khun Phi were solitary and unruly. Getting them to obey was not an easy task.
"But, but, Mr. Ling Tian, those people from the Feng family, Old Mr. Feng Jinglong is a decent person, but many of his children are spoiled. They are arrogant and look down on others, especially Chinese people. I fear they might disrespect you and take offensive actions. If I were there, they might restrain themselves out of respect for our Tianxi Group... But if I'm not, I'm afraid they might take inappropriate actions towards you..."
"Heh heh, Lele, you probably don't understand me well. When I first descended the mountain, I was not yet twenty years old. At that time, I went to treat people, and their identities were all wealthy and noble. The way they looked at me then, with all sorts of disdain and distrust. But what of it? In the end, I conquered them with my medical skills. It's not that I'm arrogant, but for Feng Jinglong's illness, besides me, there's truly no one else in this world who can completely cure it! As for Feng Jinglong's unfilial descendants daring to slight me, it matters not. As long as I cure Feng Jinglong, who would dare to disrespect me!"
As Ling Tian spoke these words, he exuded an immense aura. Gu Lele could feel an incredibly powerful confidence radiating from him. This confidence stemmed from Ling Tian's consistently formidable strength and his diverse experiences.
"Alright then..." Although somewhat reluctant, Gu Lele had no choice. He couldn't go against the stronger party, especially since his instructions were to follow Ling Tian's commands completely.
After dinner, Ling Tian took out a medical kit from his spiritual realm. The kit was made of aluminum alloy, sturdy and lightweight, with a somewhat futuristic appearance. Inside were medications Ling Tian frequently used, as well as silver needles and a few talismans. This medical kit was not of great practical use to Ling Tian; it was merely a cover. Regardless of what medical equipment or tools Ling Tian needed, he could directly retrieve them from his spiritual realm. Using this was just to mislead people, to prevent them from discovering his spiritual realm.
Just then, Ling Tian heard a knock on the door. Upon opening it, he saw Gu Lele.
"Mr. Ling Tian, the eldest son of the Feng family in Malaysia, Feng Jifei, has personally come to visit you. Do you think it would be convenient to meet him?"
Ling Tian pondered for a moment and said, "It's good to meet him. I want to understand the patient's condition. Did he bring the patient's information? If not, ask him to go back and get it, along with the patient's relevant medical records and examination results. This way, I can make a preliminary judgment and assessment of the patient's condition tonight and formulate a targeted treatment plan."
"He brought them. They are already waiting in the reception room."
Ling Tian nodded, stood up, and followed Gu Lele to the reception room. Ling Tian was staying in a suite at the hotel, a luxurious presidential suite. Besides four bedrooms with distinct styles, the suite also featured a reception room, a private cinema, a gym, and a private swimming pool.
A man in his early forties was seated in the room, with a woman in her thirties wearing professional attire beside him, serving him tea and water as his assistant. As soon as the man saw Ling Tian enter, he stood up and extended his hands towards him. Although he hesitated slightly the moment he saw Ling Tian, he quickly regained his composure.
"Hello, Mr. Ling Tian. Welcome to Malaysia. I am Feng Jifei! Thank you for traveling such a long distance to treat my father."
"You are too kind. There's no need for thanks. Treating patients is my duty as a doctor. I can only do my best!"
To be honest, that brief hesitation was because Feng Jifei saw Ling Tian's appearance. This doctor was simply too young!
