Open a Clinic to Cultivate Myself Chapter 28 A Strange Patient

Ning Tao went on his way without looking back. He made the visit because Lin Qingyu trusted him and was willing to take off her clothes for acupuncture. His arrival was tantamount to giving Lin Qingyu face. Given the attitude of Lin Donghai and Fang Meiling, even if they apologize to him a hundred times now, he wouldn't go back.

Jiang Yilong followed closely while pleasingly reporting, "Master Ning, there are only three items on the list you've written for me left. I will finish it soon."

Ning Tao nodded his head slightly and said, "Hurry up, or else when the time is up, even the god isn't able to save you."

Jiang Yilong put on an obsequious smile and replied, "Master Ning, you are a god. I believe that as long as I obey your order, you will save me."

Ning Tao was a little speechless. After a while he said, "Don't ever call me Master Ning again. Jiang Hao and I are friends, and I would be embarrassed if you called me Master Ning."

Before Jiang Yilong could change the address, Lin Donghai quickly caught up with them. Getting in front of them, Lin Donghai said, "Doctor Ning, Mr. Jiang, please don't go. I am truly sorry for what I have done. Let me invite two of you to my house for drinks, and I'll punish myself with three drinks, okay?"

Ning Tao stopped, looked at Lin Donghai calmly and blurted out blandly, "Punish yourself with three drinks? When did I agree to drink with you?"

"You... " Lin Donghai's face was flushed and black with fury. The fact that a figure like him was willing to punish himself with three drinks should be a great honor for Ning Tao, which even the mayor of Shan City had not ever enjoyed. He never expected that Ning Tao didn't give him any face!

Jiang Yilong stared at Lin Donghai, and got a potty mouth. "Sh*t! How dare you stand in Master Ning's way when I haven't even gotten even with you? Do you believe I turn against you now?"

Lin Donghai's last dignity was gone. He wanted to turn around and go, but at the thought of Jiang Yilong's land, which was so important that even mattered to the development of Blueprint Biotechnology Company for the next five years, his feet were as heavy as lead and he couldn't move.

A good idea occurred to Fang Meiling at the crucial moment. She gently pushed Lin Qingyu on her waist and said, "Qingyu, you are friends with Doctor Ning. Go and make an apology to Doctor Ning and put in a good word for us. He won't make you look bad."

Lin Qingyu walked over bravely, blushing when she opened her mouth. "I'm sorry, Doctor Ning, but for my sake, come to my house for dinner."

"Miss Lin, you didn't do anything wrong," Ning Tao uttered. "Why did you apologize to me?"

Lin Qingyu felt embarrassed and her face turned redder.

"Doctor Ning, Qingyu has apologized to you. Why don't you just do me a favor?" Lin Donghai said cheekily.

"Didn't you hear what I just said?" Ning Tao asked. "Miss Lin didn't do anything wrong. Why should she apologize?"

"Then... I apologize. Is that all right?" As the words came out of his mouth, Lin Donghai felt worse than losing ten million yuan. He was very reluctant.

A strange smile appeared on Ning Tao's lips. "I think you apologized to me because you needed Mr. Jiang's land, right? If so, you don't have to apologize to me. I don't have what you need, and I don't need an apology like that. You talk, and I have something to do. I'll go first."

With that, Ning Tao walked around Lin Donghai and left.

Lin Donghai wanted to grab Ning Tao's hand for a moment, but when he saw Jiang Yilong's angry face, he couldn't lift his hand anyway.

Lin Qingyu also felt complicated. She didn't expect that Ning Tao refused her request when she personally apologized. No man had ever turned her down!

Just then, a young man on crutches emerged at the door of the living room and asked, "Who... What are you arguing about?"

"Oh, Qinghua, what are you doing out there? Go back to your room and lie down," Fang Meiling cried and immediately went to the young man.

The young man standing at the door of the living room was Lin Qinghua, Lin Qingyu's big brother.

Ning Tao stopped and glanced back at him.

Lin Qinghua had a fine face, looking like Lin Donghai. Both of them had an elegant temperament. However, he was too thin. He looked less than 50 kg at a height of over 1.7m, giving the impression that a gust of wind could lift him into the air. Also, his white face looked blue, which was obviously abnormal.

Lin Qinghua's face reminded Ning Tao of the bluish "clay" that he found under Su Ya's bed. For some reason he sensed something was wrong. In this sense, he awakened the skills of looking and smelling. In a twinkling, he saw all the people in his field of vision giving off colorful breath, and all the smells around poured into his nostrils, including the odors of human body and all kinds of substances. There were thousands of smells, all of which he had sensed.

Through looking and smelling, Ning Tao found that nothing on Lin Qinghua was normal. The air of those present was of many colors, but that of him was a mass of bluish and misty, like the miasma of a mud. He smelled abnormal, too. He had the faintest smell a human body should have, but had a strong smell like mud.

Ning Tao's heart was filled with suspicion. "He has such a strange aura and smell that I couldn't tell which part of his body was diseased or smell the disease on him. If he had not been ill, how could he have become so? Also, his smell is basically the same as that strange lump of 'clay' I found under Su Ya's bed, so did Su Ya's disappearance have anything to do with him?" he wondered.

Meanwhile, Lin Qinghua's eyes fall on Ning Tao. "Who is that man?" he inquired.

"A raving... " Fang Meiling replied, then seemed to realize something and quickly corrected herself. "He's Qingyu's friend. He's here to see you."

"He could... treat patient... The fog is coming down... " Lin Qinghua's voice was thick and weak.

"Qingyu, bring Doctor Ning in," Fang Meiling urged. "Your brother can't get in a draught. Ask Doctor Ning to come in and talk, quickly."

Lin Qingyu had to come up to Ning Tao and invited, "Doctor Ning, I..."

She seemed to have a lot to say but didn't know how to say it.

To everyone's surprise, Ning Tao didn't say no this time. Before Lin Qingyu could finish, he said, "Well, the patient is the most important. Let's talk inside."

Ning Tao's sudden change of attitude confused Jiang Yilong. "Master Ning..."

Ning Tao interrupted, "Let's go inside and talk."

"Yes, yes, yes." Jiang Yilong's reaction was quick. Although he didn't know why Ning Tao suddenly changed his mind, Ning Tao's words were like the emperor's edict to him, which he dared not disobey.

Ning Tao walked over to Lin Qinghua, with a quiet face. No one knew he agreed to stay because of Lin Qinghua.

Lin Donghai was relieved. He walked beside Jiang Yilong and took the opportunity to say, "Mr. Jiang, I told you it was a misunderstanding. By the way, the land... "

Jiang Yilong looked at Ning Tao from behind like a religious zealot looking at the god he revered. "If Master Ning agrees, everything is negotiable; If Master Ning gets angry with you, I won't sell the land to you even if you give me ten times the price."

"You won't sell me the land even if I give you ten times the price? Mr. Jiang, may I venture to ask who is Doctor Ning?" Lin Donghai asked glumly.

"Doctor Ning?" Jiang Yilong put his hands together and raised them with a respectful look on his face. "That's Master Ning!" Then he glared at Lin Donghai and snapped, "I call him Master Ning, but you call him Doctor Ning. Do you think you are superior to me?"

Lin Donghai shut up.

Even when right, a scholar never can win an argument with a military man.

In the same living room, the same people had totally different attitudes towards Ning Tao.

"Have a seat, Doctor Ning. I'll make you a cup of tea. Do you prefer black tea or green tea?" Fang Meiling was all smiles. Her manner could not be more cordial.

"I'm not thirsty. There's no need to make tea for me," Ning Tao refused courtly.

"There's really no need for tea now," Lin Donghai said. "I've prepared a nice bottle of wine. Let's talk while drinking."

"I never drink," Ning Tao continued. "No need for wine either."

Lin Qingyu had a brainwave and suggested, "Er, Doctor Ning, why don't you see my brother?"

Ning Tao nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Jiang, you talk to Mr. Lin."

"Yes, yes, I'll talk with him," Jiang Yilong agreed immediately.

Lin Qingyu helped Lin Qinghua walk to the corridor at the end of the living room, saying, "Qinghua, let's go to your room. Doctor Ning is a consummate doctor. I asked him to see you."

Lin Qinghua said to himself, "I am not ill. Go and get my horse, I want to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy... "

Walking behind the Lins, Ning Tao pondered, "Lin Qinghua spoke like an emperor. Is he crazy? Although I could see his innate aura and smell all the smells on his body with my skills of looking and smelling, I could not find his lesion. It's strange... "

It was the first time Ning Tao had encountered such a troublesome disease since he became the owner of the Sky Clinic.

Lin Qingyu helped Lin Qinghua into a room and let him lie on the bed. During the whole process, Lin Qinghua murmured in the tone of an emperor, saying such words as his concubine, world and usurpers. In addition, he suffered violent mood swings. He was domineering for a moment, but in a twinkling he turned miserable.

Ning Tao watched him carefully, but found nothing of value.

Lin Qingyu was in low spirits. "Doctor Ning, you've seen my brother," she said. "The way he is now... I'm really worried about him. Please treat him. I'll give you as much money as you want as long as you cure him."

Ning Tao took one look at the balcony, walked over to it, and said, "Can I talk to you a second?"

Lin Qingyu followed Ning Tao to the balcony and asked, "What are you trying to say, Doctor Ning?"

"I want to ask you about your brother," Ning Tao replied. "It will be related to whether I can treat him or not. So you must tell me all about him. Don't have anything to hide."

Lin Qingyu kept silent for a moment and then said, "Go ahead, I'll tell you everything I know, but... "

"But what?"

"Promise me you'll cure my brother," Lin Qingyu said. "And some of what I'm about to tell you must remain secret."

"It's okay to keep it a secret, but I'm not going to promise you that I'll cure your brother," Ning Tao replied. "I promise I'll do my best. It's up to you whether you agree or not."

A trace of hesitation flashed across Lin Qingyu's eyes, but she quickly made a decision. "I agree. Go ahead."

She finally chose to trust Ning Tao because she had personally proved his magic medical skills.
