By the water .
Lin Fan had his eyes closed as if he was meditating . Once there was any movement from his fishing line, he would immediately lift up the rod and retrieve the item before placing it in his bag .
Several days and nights had passed and he had stayed in the same position . After unlocking the Wuxia major class of knowledge, he had already surpassed the limits of an average person . Not drinking or eating didn't pose much of an obstacle to him .
To him, there was already not much time left .
When he had just started, he had had sufficient confidence in himself . He had felt that he would easily obtain what he wanted . But after so long, he just couldn't fish up the remaining few herbs .
*Ding ding*
Lin Fan took out his phone and was about to reject the call but when he saw the caller, he answered it .
"Elder Zheng, what is it?" asked Lin Fan .
"Someone asked me to ask for your help in seeing a patient . His illness is quite severe and he might not last much longer, so I wanted to ask for your help," said Elder Zheng .
To make Elder Zheng speak on his behalf, that person must not have been average . He might even be a person that was out of Lin Fan's reach .
"I don't have the time . I'm very busy now," said Lin Fan .
Elder Zheng became anxious . "No, Elder Lin, this is serious . "
"Elder Zheng, it's not that I don't want to help you . I am very serious now too . This matter that I'm handling right now is very important to me and I don't want to be disturbed by anyone," said Lin Fan .
"Elder, Lin, you really have to help . This person is really very important," Elder Zheng requested for the third time, hoping Lin Fan would come over to help .
"To me, the time I have now is very important . In fact, there's nothing more important right now than what I'm currently doing . You have to understand, Elder Zheng . If he can endure until I'm done settling my problem, then get him to wait," said Lin Fan .
Zheng Zhong Shan was about to say something but then the call had been hung up .
"Elder Zheng, how is it?" beside Elder Zheng, a middle-aged man asked anxiously .
Elder Zheng shook his head . "He has things to do, so he can't come for now . "
The middle-aged man was frantic . "What? He can't come? No, he has to come . I'll get someone to go to Shanghai and drag him over . "
Zheng Zhong Shan frowned . "What are you thinking of doing?"
When the middle-aged man heard that, he instantly became more docile . "Elder Zheng, I can't wait . This matter cannot be dragged on . "
"Even if it can't, it has to . "
He had no idea what had happened with Elder Lin . Just what could it be that would be so important to him?
…
At that moment, Lin Fan's brows twitched . The fishing line had moved . He quickly lifted the fishing rod .
"The task of fishing up a legendary item has been completed . "
"Unlocking the twenty-first page of knowledge . For it is the twenty-first page of knowledge, an automatic draw will be carried out . "
Lin Fan didn't listen to the task completion notification but looked at the object in his hands instead . He was a little disappointed .
A storage ring with unlimited space . If it was before, he would have been extremely excited but now, he wasn't in the mood at all .
He calmly wore the ring on his finger . He kept the other things that he had fished up and continued fishing .
The next day!
The hospital .
Zhao Li Xing said, "Doctor, what's my Dad's current condition?"
The doctor pushed up his glasses and said, "Mister Zhao, your father's situation isn't looking good . According to our check, his body's organs are showing signs of failing . And it's very serious . In layman's terms, he's dying of old age . "
"That can't be . My dad is only over seventy . He's not even eighty yet . How could he be dying of old age?" the daughter, Zhao Qun Fang said anxiously .
The doctor said, "We can't do anything either . Your father has had toxins accumulating in his body for a long period of time because of his profession . His body can't be compared to an average person's . "
Zhao Li Xing grabbed the doctor . "Doctor, tell me honestly, how long more does he have?"
"That can't be confirmed . It depends on your father's situation but it won't be more than three days . His body has already exceeded its working capacity . Once his bodily processes stop, that means…" The doctor didn't say anymore . Everyone already understood .
"How could it be? He was fine just a while ago . Why did he suddenly become like this?" Zhao Li Xing couldn't understand it .
The doctor said, "This can be likened to a motor vehicle . When a car gas fuel, regardless of the amount, it will be able to run . But once the fuel is depleted, the car will stop . "
Then, the doctor left .
Zhao Li Xing looked at his siblings . "Don't tell Mom about this yet . "
"Mmm, we know . Oh right, where's Master Lin? If it's him, he'd definitely have a solution," said Zhao Qun Fang .
Zhao Li Xing shook his head . "It's useless . Master Lin came over a while ago to treat Dad's flu but he didn't say anything else after that . He probably knows what's happening . This isn't an illness . This is something that everyone will have to experience eventually . Even if his medical ability was even greater, it would be useless . "
When the rest heard this, they couldn't help but let out miserable expressions .
At that moment, a group of reporters appeared .
If this was before, Zhao Ming Wing would definitely not have drawn any attention but his status was not the same anymore . He was a big shot in the Chinese medicine world now . He was Master Lin's student who had contributed to the development of the leukemia prescription . Now that he had suddenly been admitted to the hospital, they were afraid that something bad had happened .
And when they thought about his age, the reporters had a rough idea of what was going on .
It must have been a big issue .
Zhao Li Xing hadn't expected reporters to come . He didn't want to answer any of their questions and the reporters didn't ask any questions either . But they were unyielding .
With their capabilities, they could definitely find out many things .
In the morning .
The news came out .
'Zhao Ming Qing, Director Zhao, has been admitted to the hospital . His health is in a dangerous situation . Perhaps…'
'Contributor to the development of the leukemia prescription, Zhao Ming Qing, has been admitted to the hospital in an emergency . Things aren't looking good . '
'Master Lin's student has been admitted to the hospital . Something that even Master Lin can't resolve, what could that be?'
'According to the latest updates . Master Lin has disappeared from Cloud Street and hasn't appeared in days . '
"D*mn, Zhao Ming Qing is in the hospital? What's going on?"
"I feel that something major must have happened . Zhao Ming Qing is Master Lin's student . If he's sick, why would he need to go to the hospital? It seems to me that there's only one possibility…"
"Master Lin has disappeared for days . What do you guys think he's doing?"
"Don't know . I'll keep watching the news . "
Cloud Street .
When Fraud Tian saw the news, he cried out in shock .
"Zhao Ming Qing has been admitted to the hospital? How can that be?"
Zhao Zhong Yang was taken aback as well . "Do you think that Brother Lin has suddenly disappeared because he's finding a solution to this?"
Wu You Lan said worriedly, "For something to leave Brother Lin at a loss, it must be very serious . "
"Who knows?"
Beijing .
Zheng Zhong Shan had seen the news as well . When he saw it, he had been stunned . Elder Lin's student was in the hospital .
Then, he recalled his interaction with Elder Lin on the phone and he instantly understood . Elder Lin must have been trying to save his student first . That was why he had rejected him .
If that was the case, he could understand .
