Chapter 426: Chapter 426 – Forced to Take the Blame (Three Updates)
Zheng Guozhu and Madam Zheng were dumbfounded, their faces filled with embarrassment, as their ominous feeling was finally confirmed.
It turned out that Lin Fei, whom they drove away, was actually the Divine Doctor from Huadu who saved the old secretary.
Faced with Dean Zhou’s questioning, the couple was simply speechless and couldn’t utter a single word.
Similarly, Dean Cai, upon learning that the Lin Fei who was just driven away was the legendary Divine Doctor from Huadu and a legend in the South China medical community, was so shocked that his glasses slid down his nose.
Recalling how he had reprimanded Lin Fei for being ignorant and arrogant, he was left gaping in astonishment…
As for those old experts and famous doctors who had claimed Lin Fei was envious and ignorant, found their faces growing hot with shame, wishing they could crawl into a hole.
This scandal was truly a huge embarrassment!
But the most awkward person was Long Chen.
He was the one who continuously undermined Lin Fei at every turn, confidently claiming that Lin Fei was arrogant and envious of others.
Moreover, he said it in public, so there’s no denying it.
Long Chen never imagined that the Divine Doctor who saved the old secretary was Lin Fei.
When he initially found out Lin Fei was the Chief Physician at the Third Hospital, he was already surprised, but now to learn Lin Fei is that Divine Doctor.
The blow was simply earth-shattering and devastating.
It gave him an indescribable sense of defeat, especially being thoroughly beaten by Lin Fei, whom he always envied the most.
Zheng Guozhu finally regained his composure from the embarrassment and saw Long Chen standing pale-faced beside him.
Immediately, he thought that if Long Chen hadn’t said Lin Fei was just a Chief Physician, arrogant and envious of the Divine Doctor’s talents, he wouldn’t have been misled to drive Lin Fei away.
Therefore, Zheng Guozhu was very angry with this son of his wife’s brother.
“Long Chen, it’s all your fault, saying Divine Doctor Lin was just a mere Chief Physician, arrogant and envious of others. If you hadn’t misled us with those words, how could we have offended Divine Doctor Lin?” Zheng Guozhu at this time could only have Long Chen take the blame, angrily reprimanding him on the spot.
Long Chen looked at his uncle in surprise. Although he had slandered Lin Fei, wasn’t he not the only one who said Lin Fei was not good?
Haven’t seasoned experts and famous doctors like Dean Cai also spoken ill of Lin Fei?
Even his uncle seemed to have a very indifferent attitude towards Lin Fei, right?
Why then is all the blame being pushed onto him?
Hence, he looked aggrievedly at Madam Zheng and said, “Aunt…”
Although Madam Zheng knew Long Chen was somewhat wronged, at this moment, rather than having her husband and son take the blame, it was better to let her nephew take it.
So, Madam Zheng also seriously said to Long Chen, “Long Chen, from now on, don’t spread rumors about others behind their backs. It’s wrong. When you see Divine Doctor Lin later, you must properly apologize.”
Hearing his aunt’s words, Long Chen felt a breath stuck in his chest, almost passing out from anger.
But this was the Zheng family, and besides, he indeed had spoken ill of Lin Fei. Even if he didn’t want to take the blame, he had to.
Madam Zheng didn’t care whether Long Chen felt wronged or not; at this moment, she only hoped to invite Lin Fei back to treat Master Zheng’s illness.
At this moment, Zheng Wenbin walked in through the door.
Seeing Zheng Wenbin, Zheng Guozhu quickly asked him, “Wenbin, where is Lin Fei? Where did they go?”
Zheng Wenbin snorted coldly, saying, “Dad, I have already driven those two frauds away. Daring to come to our Zheng family to cheat, it’s outrageous!”
Thinking of how Lin Fei had just grabbed him by the throat, almost taking his life, Zheng Wenbin felt both fearful and angry.
“Wait, sir, did you say Lin Fei is a fraud?” Dean Zhou frowned, with a hint of dissatisfaction on his face, asking.
Zheng Wenbin was about to nod and say that Lin Fei was indeed a fraud, but at that moment, Zheng Guozhu interjected angrily at Zheng Wenbin, “Wenbin, you are outrageous! Lin Fei is that Divine Doctor from Huadu, how is he a fraud?
What are you still standing there for? Go quickly and find Divine Doctor Lin!”
Zheng Wenbin was taken aback. Lin Fei was the Divine Doctor Lin? This was simply incredible!
But considering Zheng Guozhu’s serious and earnest expression, he wasn’t joking.
So, Zheng Wenbin immediately responded, “Dad, I’ll go find them now.”
After Zheng Wenbin left, Zheng Guozhu thought that his son might not be able to bring Lin Fei back, given that it was his son who drove him away.
Thus, he unknowingly set his sights on his daughter, Zheng Yutong.
“Yutong, you and Lin Fei are friends. Could you invite him back to treat your grandfather?” Zheng Guozhu looked kindly at his daughter.
Although Zheng Yutong was somewhat angry that earlier her father had let her brother drive Lin Fei and Xiao Ling away, since it concerned her grandfather’s life.
So, Zheng Yutong took out her phone and dialed Xiao Ling’s number.
Once the call connected, Xiao Ling’s voice came from the phone, “Yutong, what’s up?”
Zheng Yutong said, “Xiao Ling, are you with Lin Fei? Where are you guys?”
“Yes, I’m with Lin Fei. We’re enjoying the scenery at the back mountain. What’s up? Did something happen?” Xiao Ling asked.
“I want to invite Lin Fei to treat my grandfather,” Zheng Yutong said.
“But didn’t your dad just disagree?” Xiao Ling said in confusion.
Standing beside her, Zheng Guozhu hurriedly leaned closer and said into his daughter’s phone, “Young Master Xiao, it was all a misunderstanding earlier. Please, Young Master Xiao, invite Divine Doctor Lin back to the villa.”
At this moment, at the other end of the call, on a big rock halfway up the mountain, sat Lin Fei and Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling glanced at Lin Fei beside him, who was enjoying the view, and said into the phone, “Yutong, tell your dad I need to ask Lin Fei before I can answer you.”
“Okay, please ask Divine Doctor Lin, we are waiting for you,” Zheng Guozhu said into the phone before Zheng Yutong could respond.
This left Dean Cai and all the seasoned experts and famous doctors dumbfounded. This was the first time they saw Zheng Guozhu, Shencheng’s wealthiest man, being so deferential to someone.
A few minutes later, Xiao Ling’s voice came through the phone, “Yutong, Lin Fei said he can treat your grandfather but hopes you show sincerity.”
Zheng Yutong asked, “What does Lin Fei need us to do?”
“Lin Fei said he wants your dad and Long Chen to come and invite him,” Xiao Ling said.
Zheng Guozhu quickly said into the phone, “Young Master Xiao, no problem, I’ll go with Long Chen now to invite Divine Doctor Lin.”
After Zheng Yutong hung up the phone, Zheng Guozhu promptly said to Long Chen, “Long Chen, come with me to invite Divine Doctor Lin back.”
Long Chen was so angry that his face turned green. Not only carrying the blame but now having to beg them to come back, this was simply a great humiliation.
But facing the unyielding gaze of his aunt and uncle, he didn’t dare to say a word more, only nodding his head.
After all, even if he refused, to save Master Zheng’s life, Zheng Guozhu might have someone drag him to Lin Fei.
Although Lin Fei only required Zheng Guozhu and Long Chen to invite him, except for Madam Zheng staying to look after Master Zheng, everyone else followed Zheng Guozhu to invite Lin Fei.
When Zheng Guozhu, Long Chen, Zheng Yutong, and Dean Zhou found Lin Fei in the mountain behind the Zheng family’s half-mount villa, they were all stunned.
All they saw was Zheng Wenbin treating Lin Fei as if he were a deity, bowing and pleading in every possible way, “Lin Fei, it was I who was blind to your greatness. Please agree to come back with me to treat my grandfather? I beg you, whatever you want me to do, I’ll do it!”
Lin Fei pointed to the deep valley where the waterfall was falling and said, “If you jump down, I’ll go back.”
