Ji Zhi's wrist was gripped by an icy hand.
The owner of the hand was Zhao Lin, whom he had long since judged to be dead.
"It's...it's come back to life!" Ji Zhi's voice trembled.
The terrified voice sent a chill down everyone's spine, and they instinctively moved aside.
Bai Rou'er asked timidly, "Could it be that Mr. Zhao is still alive?"
She believed in Zhang Fan's medical skills.
Ji Zhi suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He stiffly turned around and met a pair of angry eyes. Terrified, he immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Boss, that's not what I meant."
Zhao Lin waved his hand, looked past him at Zhang Fan, and nodded gratefully to Zhang Fan: "Dr. Zhang, you saved me again."
Zhang Fan: "Just remember to transfer the medical expenses to my card."
Zhao Lin: "That's for sure."
"Dad!" Zhao Shuang knelt on the ground, crawled forward and rushed over, his face covered in tears, looking every bit the devoted son who was worried about his father.
Zhao Lin: "You unfilial son! I heard everything you just said. Doctor Zhang wanted to save me, but you kept trying to drag me away to be burned. Are you hoping I'll die sooner?!"
Zhao Shuang shook her head vigorously: "Dad, I was just worried that he would damage your body. You don't know, I was so scared just now. It's so good to see you alive again."
Zhao Lin: "Alright, if it weren't for Doctor Zhang today, I would be dead."
He was completely unable to move his body. He could hear the voices of the people around him, but he was powerless to do anything about it.
He heard Zhao Shuang was going to drag him away and burn him, and he wanted to stop her, but he was powerless to do so.
If it weren't for Zhang Fan, he probably would have turned into ashes by tonight.
He looked at Zhang Fan gratefully and slowly got up with Zhao Shuang's help.
The Seven Flower Powder in Zhao Lin's body has penetrated deep into his bone marrow. It is only temporarily suppressing the toxicity now, and he must be treated immediately.
Zhao Lin and Zhang Fan went into a separate room for treatment.
Zhao Shuang kept trying to go in, but Zhao Lin yelled at her to leave: "How can the divine doctor Zhang treat patients in front of outsiders? Get out!"
Zhao Shuang reluctantly closed the door and waited outside.
Zhang Fan took out a bright green longevity pill and said frankly, "You took a drug that would activate the Seven Flower Powder. This longevity pill can only guarantee your lifespan for half a month now. Do you still want to take it?"
Zhao Lin replied without hesitation: "Eat, of course I'll eat!"
He thought it was a good deal that a longevity pill cost 200,000.
Zhang Fan: "It only works once; the longevity pill won't work next time."
Zhao Lin firmly stated, "I'll eat it!"
Zhao Shuang clenched her fists outside the door, her teeth grinding together.
Zhang Fan heard Zhao Shuang's commotion clearly and handed her the Longevity Pill: "However, if you can find the poison, I might be able to develop an antidote."
Zhao Lin took the longevity pill, tilted his head back and swallowed it. His fatigue vanished instantly, and he felt incredibly relaxed. He felt like he had become several years younger in an instant.
His eyes lit up, and he even stood up and jumped twice, exclaiming with delight, "Dr. Zhang, I haven't felt healthy in so long! You're practically Hua Tuo reincarnated!"
He was happy for a while, then suddenly thought, "Dr. Zhang, I was perfectly fine when I arrived, how come I'm so weak as soon as I got out of the car?"
Zhang Fan spoke frankly: "Did you take Qi Hua San again today?"
Zhao Lin: "I didn't eat breakfast. My son saw that I was hungry and gave me a sip of herbal jelly. I don't like young people's stuff, so I only tasted one bite. Could there be something wrong with the herbal jelly?"
“My son bought that herbal jelly because he was hungry. Could someone have poisoned it? That’s impossible. That poisonous woman doesn’t know our route.”
Zhang Fan didn't respond, but instead asked a different question: "Do you know who poisoned it?"
Zhao Lin sighed: "It's shameful to say it out loud. I was so focused on my work that I got married very late. My wife is twenty years younger than me, and she's only in her early thirties now."
"I never expected that this vicious woman would cheat on me, meet other men outside, and try to poison me to get a share of the inheritance. I kicked her out!"
“She’s the only one at home. Who else could it be but her? And she won’t admit it.” Zhao Lin was so angry that he pounded his chest and stamped his feet. “If I had evidence, I would definitely send this woman to jail.”
Zhang Fan: "Do you still have turtle jelly?"
Zhao Lin immediately called Chen Yao over, saying that if the Seven-Flower Powder was really in the turtle jelly, his poison might be cured. However, he was told that Ji Zhi had taken the turtle jelly and thrown it away.
He immediately called Ji Zhi, but no one answered.
Zhao Shuang, who was waiting at the door, quickly approached, looking anxious: "Dad, Ji Zhi seems strange. I just heard him on the phone saying that he's been exposed and is going to run away..."
Zhao Lin exclaimed in disbelief, "That Ji Zhi! He actually tried to kill me!"
A fleeting look of joy crossed Zhao Shuang's eyes, but it didn't escape Zhang Fan's notice: "You must be very happy that Ji Zhi is taking the blame, right?"
Zhao Shuang stiffened: "Dr. Zhang, I admit I was rude to you just now, but I was just too concerned about Dad. I apologize to you, don't try to take the blame for me."
Zhao Lin hurriedly explained, "Dr. Zhang, it was that poisonous woman who poisoned him. Perhaps Ji Zhi was also bribed. It has nothing to do with my son."
Zhang Fan: "It was your son who poisoned you."
"You're talking nonsense!" Zhao Shuang glared angrily, her chest heaving violently. "I didn't even touch the herbal jelly. Just because I said a few words to you, you're trying to slander me."
Zhao Lin snapped, "Show respect to Doctor Zhang! Apologize immediately!"
A stinging glint flashed in Zhao Shuang's eyes, her expression one of utter grievance after being wrongly accused: "You say I poisoned her, do you have any evidence?"
Zhang Fan: "Guess?"
Seeing Zhang Fan's confident look, Zhao Shuang felt inexplicably flustered. He said in a fierce but weak voice, "Ji Zhi bought the herbal jelly. I didn't touch it at all. Dad, you didn't get to know Zhang Fan because of Ji Zhi. They obviously know each other."
Zhang Fan listened calmly to Zhao Shuang's accusations: "You're just trying to sow discord between us to swindle money. Let me tell you, defamation can land you in jail!"
"Boss, were you looking for me?" Ji Zhi's gruff voice came through the phone.
Zhao Shuang turned her head and saw that Ji Zhi was holding a cup of turtle jelly.
Upon seeing the herbal jelly, Zhao Lin's eyes lit up: "Send it to me by express delivery."
"You dare come here again? I'm going to arrest you!" Zhao Shuang moved with lightning speed, rolling up his sleeves and rushing towards Ji Zhi, knocking over the herbal jelly. As he got close to Ji Zhi, he whispered, "Didn't I tell you to leave?"
Zhang Fan's hearing was better than average: "Give me money? What kind of money?"
Zhao Shuang froze, cold sweat beading on her forehead. She threw a punch at Ji Zhi, threatening, "You'd better leave now, and I'll give you a million after it's done."
Ji Zhiling deftly dodged the question: "Boss, Young Master Zhao asked me to throw away the turtle jelly, gave me back 500,000 yuan, and told me to leave Jiangcheng forever."
Zhao Shuang's face turned pale, and her voice trembled: "You're talking nonsense! Dad, this must be Zhang Fan and Ji Zhi's scheme. One poisoned you, and the other cured you, all to make money off you."
Zhang Fan didn't speak, but crossed his arms and looked at Zhao Lin.
He wanted to see the other party's attitude. If the other party really thought that way and didn't trust him, then there was no need to cooperate on this deal. Otherwise, if any problems arose in the future, they would blame him.
Zhao Lin did not hesitate for a moment: "You unfilial son, how dare you slander Doctor Zhang! Apologize to Doctor Zhang!"
"Boss, I have evidence."
