C4 Swindler!
Luo Family Villa:
It was a luxurious villa located in the bustling area of Tianhai City. It had a value of millions, and one had to have a high enough identity to even buy a hut in this area.
Even the Bai Family, Ye Lin's wife's family, didn't have that qualification.
The Bai Family could be considered a top-tier family. However, the difference between them and the Luo Family was humongous.
Back then, Ye Lin and his wife had also bought a villa together in a modest area. As a head physician with boundless potential, his income was also considerable. Since his wife had outstanding talent in the martial way, she also received a sizeable sum from the Bai Family for her work.
In his first life, after his wife's meridians got damaged and her cultivation dropped, the Bai Family ruthlessly took away all her resources.
"Grandfather, I'm cold again." Luo Ling was wrapped in a blanket, her face was pale, and she was shivering.
Luo Hong's face was filled with pain. When he looked at her pale face, he hastily ordered the servants to prepare hot soup for her.
"Lingling, this is what that uncle asked me to give you. He said that your cold will go away after eating this," Old Master Luo said with a kind smile.
Luo Ling stretched out her elfin hand and said with a pain-filled voice, "Grandpa, you don't have to lie to me. I've been hearing that my illness is incurable ever since my childhood."
Although Luo Ling was only ten years old, she was very rational.
"Good granddaughter, everything will be okay. Grandpa won't let anything happen to you."
Luo Ling smiled and asked, "Is uncle's medicine really effective?"
"It'll be effective. Since that young man had said that it'll work, I'm sure that it'll work." With Yang Qi enveloping his aged palm, he gave Luo Ling the pill.
After Luo Ling ate the pill, a warm current flowed through her entire body. The Yin Qi in her body gradually dissipated, and her pale face regained color.
"Ah... Why is it so hot?"
Luo Ling threw away the blanket and flapped her petite hands around, trying to cool herself down.
"Lingling, you…"
Old Master Luo looked at Luo Ling in shock. 'It is true! What that young man said was true! She really got over the cold this time!'
Finally, in the clouds of despair, a ray of hope shone. Consequently, Luo Hong became very excited.
"Master, the hot soup is ready." A servant respectfully brought a bowl of hot soup. This was the soup Luo Ling drank every time her Yin Qi peaked.
"There's no need. There's no need for it now! No, not just now. Your young mistress won't need this ever in the future too!" Old Master Luo's incoherent words weirded the servant, but he still left the hot soup behind.
"Grandfather, what uncle said is true. I'm really not feeling the cold now."
As her body gradually became warmer, Luo Ling cheered in joy. After all, she didn't have to suffer the torment of the cold today.
"That uncle is so great! Grandfather, who is he?" Owing to the pill, Luo Ling had made Ye Lin as someone very important in her heart. She was filled with admiration for him.
"Oh, his name is Ye Lin. He said that he's a doctor."
"Really? Uncle Ye Lin's medical skills are so great!" Luo Ling exclaimed.
Now, Old Master Luo was sure Ye Lin could indeed cure his granddaughter's illness.
"This is great!" Old Master Luo was in tears. He happily comforted his now ruddy-faced granddaughter to sleep. Then, he stood alone on the balcony to think.
"Master, here is the information you wanted." A servant respectfully handed over a folder to Luo Hong.
"Un, you can leave now. Remember, do not speak of this matter to anyone," Old Master Luo said calmly.
The servant's heart skipped a beat as he nodded continuously.
After reading the first paper from the envelope, Old Master Luo couldn't help but blink in astonishment.
"Ye Lin. An orphan who grew up in the Dajun Orphanage. He graduated from Tianhai City Medical Academy and has a frail body."
"Orphan?"
Luo Hong was astonished. 'Oh... So, Ye Lin is an orphan. No wonder his face was filled with resentment when I asked about his family.'
He continued to read. After reading for a while, Luo Hong was puzzled. It was written that Ye Lin was suddenly fired by the hospital, but there was no reason given for this action.
However, thanks to the Luo Family's investigative ability, he found all clues pointed toward the Zhang Family's involvement.
"A second-rate family actually made such a promising doctor lose his job? Stupid!" Old Master Luo sneered.
In his eyes, Ye Lin was a godly doctor with exceptional medical skills. Otherwise, how else couldn't he have refined such a miraculous pill?
"Oh... So, Ye Lin is Bai Family Bai Lanjun's ex-husband."
Bai Family's Bai Lanjun, who was Ye Lin's wife, was known as one of the four beauties of Tianhai City.
"I have seen Bai Lanjun a few times, right? Last year, her meridians were damaged, all her resources were taken back by the Bai Family, and then she was "asked" to operate the Bai Group by the Bai Family. It seems like she no longer has any status in the Bai Family."
"I never thought that Ye Lin would actually be the son-in-law of a poor family like the Bai Family. Funnily enough, those idiots actually drove Ye Lin out of their family."
Thanks to the Luo Family's power, Luo Hong had a comprehensive investigative report of Ye Lin.
"Ordinary guy? What a joke! This Ye Lin fella is anything but ordinary. He is definitely a martial artist!"
On the last page was a missing person's poster. It was a poster seeking Ye Lin made by Bai Lanjun, Ye Lin's ex-wife.
"Missing for three years…"
Old Master Luo fell into deep thought as he observed Ye Lin's photo.
Due to Ye Lin's rebirth in the Immortal Realm, the Heavenly Dao's trajectory had changed. Consequently, Earth's timeline also changed.
The next day, Old Master Luo personally went out to collect the medicinal ingredients. Since there was hope for his granddaughter's survival, he had to make sure that it wouldn't all go down the drain due to some stupid mistake. He had to supervise everything personally.
"Lingling, why aren't you resting?" Luo Ling's father, Luo Cheng, finally returned home after taking care of some matters regarding the Luo Family. Usually, at this time of day, his daughter would be resting. However, when the husband-wife duo returned, they saw their daughter jumping around in a lively manner.
"Lingling, Mom and Dad had some urgent business to take care of yesterday, so they weren't with you. Don't be angry." Luo Ling's mother hugged her daughter. She felt her heart ache when she thought about how her daughter had to suffer all alone yesterday.
"Mom, I'm fine. Uncle gave me some medicine, so I'm fine now," Luo Ling said happily.
"Uncle?" Luo Cheng and his wife looked at each other in confusion. 'What uncle, what medicine?'
"Lingling, what's going on? Tell dad everything." Luo Cheng was worried that his daughter had eaten something she shouldn't have.
After telling her parents about the incident with Ye Lin yesterday, she went to the backyard to play.
"Hubby, what do you think?"
"Hmph! You remember how many different prescriptions Lingling has been on, right? Which one of them has ever been effective? Those pills and the doctors who recommended them were all charlatans. This time should be the same, and this Ye Lin guy is definitely a fraud!"
"Come, let's go to the hospital!"
"But... Didn't father acknowledge this person's skill? Furthermore, he was hit by a truck when he saved Lingling."
"Of course, I'm grateful to him for saving our Lingling. However, that doesn't mean he can feed our Lingling anything he wants! You stay at home with Lingling; I'll go to the hospital."
With that, he rushed to the hospital where Ye Lin was staying.
When Luo Cheng finally stood in front of Ye Lin, Ye Lin felt a bit puzzled. "May I ask who you are?"
"I'm Luo Ling's father, Luo Cheng."
"Oh, so it's Lingling's father. Hello, I wonder if that pill worked."
That pill was the lowest-ranked pill in his Dimensional Ring, but he was sure that it would've got rid of cold once.
After all, he was a doctor on Earth and an Immortal Doctor in the Immortal Realm. Suffice to say, he believed in his own medical skills.
"I'm precisely here to talk about the pill you gave Lingling." Luo Cheng's expression slowly turned serious.
Ye Lin noticed the change in Luo Cheng's expression and said, "Is something wrong?"
Luo Cheng nodded and said, "That's right. As Lingling's father, I'll definitely not allow anyone to harm my daughter. I'm grateful to you for saving Lingling yesterday, but I won't let you cause her any harm."
"Cause her harm?" Ye Lin was unhappy.
"Yes, I suspect that you are a swindler, a swindler who sells bogus medicines. Over the years, my Luo Family has hired many doctors. However, not one of them, not even the ones from the capital, could treat Lingling. The medicines prescribed by those doctors had a slight effect at first; in the end, they all stopped working."
When Luo Cheng thought of those partially working medicines that filled him with hope for a while before cruising his hopes ruthlessly, his belly swelled with anger. 'They are all a bunch of quack doctors!'
"I don't know who you are, but I'm warning you: stop using these petty tricks as soon as possible."
"Otherwise…" Luo Cheng revealed a threatening gaze.
Ye Lin shook his head helplessly. He could understand where Luo Cheng was coming from. After all, apart from Ye Lin, no one could treat her cold. So, it was normal for Luo Cheng not to believe it.
On the contrary, Ye Lin was a bit envious. Luo Ling's father was criticizing and threatening him for his daughter's sake.
On the flip side was Ye Lin who was thrown into the river on the coldest day of that year.
"Alright, before you leave the hospital, my Luo Family will take good care of you. However, I'll warn you again, keep that trickery to yourself." After saying that, Luo Cheng left quickly.
Ye Lin leaned against the bed and looked out the window at the city. A sense of loneliness permeated his body.
