Chapter 32
This was the era of Internet information overload, so the news of Lin Bo’s accomplishment spread quickly all over the world . Everyone was now talking about a skillful heart surgeon from Lin Chuan named Lin Bo .
Lin Bo was both concerned and happy about his sudden fame . He had gotten a promotion and a raise and received the title of a special-grade specialist of the Ai Bo Hospital . This honorary title was worth much more than any promotion or salary raise .
The Ai Bo Hospital had three special-grade specialists, including Lin Bo . Usually, a special-grade specialist would demand a large fee before agreeing to treat a patient .
After this incident, countless people approached him and asked him to treat their illnesses . This made Lin Bo feel helpless .
He knew the limits of his abilities after all . Even though he was considered a good physician, he was not able to heal patients with grave diseases .
A middle-aged couple was currently sitting in front of him . The man, who had lost his arm, was looking at Lin Bo pleadingly . “He is my only son, Doctor Lin . Please save him . I know my request is very presumptuous, but I am willing to pay any price for you to help him . ”
Lin Bo sighed helplessly . He would have agreed to help this couple if he had the ability to . However, he knew that Doctor Di intended to live a quiet life and did not want to be disturbed . He would not even have known that a skillful medical practitioner like Di Jiu existed, had it not been for that fateful coincidence .
Bang! The lady fell to her knees and cried out, “Please!”
The man wiped his eyes as he pleaded, “I have been to the Fairy Planet . If you need any herbs, I am willing to travel there again to get them for you . ”
“You have been to the Fairy Planet?” Lin Bo was so surprised that he forgot to help the lady up . He had been under the impression that people who had been to the Fairy Planet were unapproachable .
Although the Fairy Planet had been discovered several years ago, the only people who had managed to visit it were extremely wealthy, reputable, or influential individuals .
The man nodded before he said, “Yes, I went there during the very early stages . I actually lost my arm on the Fairy Planet . ”
“Please get up . I will tell you the truth,” Lin Bo, who suddenly realized that the lady was still kneeling on the floor, said hurriedly .
As a doctor and a father, Lin Bo could empathize with the couple . He knew that he would have done the same in their place . If his son had suffered from an incurable disease, he would also have knelt down on the floor and begged .
When the couple stood up, Lin Bo confessed that he was not the one who had saved Lian Shayu . He also told them that the person who had saved her wanted to live in seclusion and did not wish to be disturbed .
…
Di Jiu spent half a day wandering around Lin Chuan City . He wanted to craft a saber of his own .
However, after 12 hours of searching, he was unable to find a place in Lin Chuan that could craft the type of saber that he desired .
When he got back home, he found Lin Bo waiting by the entrance of his house .
“Doctor Lin! What are you doing here?” Di Jiu asked in confusion . He thought that he had already solved Lin Bo’s problems .
“Today, a couple knelt before me and begged me to save their child . I know that I should not have bothered you, Doctor Di, but…” Lin Bo trailed off nervously .
The doctor seemed to be at a loss for words .
After Lin Bo had told the couple the truth, they had been more than eager to ask Di Jiu for help . In fact, Lin Bo also wished that Di Jiu would save the little boy, as he felt a lot of sympathy for the couple .
Di Jiu sighed before he said, “Okay, I’ll go meet that couple with you . ”
Lin Bo had strong medical ethics and felt very empathetic towards his patients, so it was only natural that he would agree to help if his patients pleaded him earnestly .
Di Jiu knew that he could not stay at the Ai Bo Hospital any longer . Given his advanced medical skills and Lin Bo’s empathetic nature, even more people would seek his help . His motive for studying medicine was not to treat people, but to urgently cultivate martial arts .
If he wanted to be a doctor, he could have already become one in the Yalun Continent .
He was just planning on healing that couple’s child and earning some money before leaving Lin Chuan and finding a place where he could cultivate the Di Clan’s fourth saber move . When he mastered the Di Clan’s fourth saber move, he would return to fix his aircraft and travel to the Fairy Planet, where he would continue practising .
…
When Di Jiu and Lin Bo reached the Near Lake Hotel, Hu Qianli was pacing frantically by the hotel’s entrance . He had stopped himself from calling many times, as he did not want to disturb Lin Bo .
“Doctor Lin…” Hu Qianli stepped forward the moment Lin Bo got out of the car . His face was full of excitement . As Di Jiu stepped out of the car with his backpack slung over his shoulder, Hu Qianli glanced inside the car . When he realized that the car was empty, panic and worry filled his eyes .
Had Doctor Lin been unable to bring the doctor who had healed Lian Shayu?
Lin Bo, who sensed Hu Qianli’s anxiety, said quickly, “Mr . Hu, this is the skillful doctor that I told you about, Doctor Di . Doctor Di, this is Hu Qianli . His son, Hu Fei, is in need of urgent medical treatment . ”
When Hu Qianli realized that Di Jiu was the doctor who would heal Hu Fei, he felt embarrassed for not recognizing him earlier . He immediately bowed and said, “Doctor Di, I had no idea…”
Di Jiu looked too young to be a doctor . His youthful appearance and large backpack actually made him look like an assistant, so Hu Qianli had not been able to recognize him .
Di Jiu’s eyes landed on Hu Qianli’s arm as he asked, “Was your arm bitten off by a wild beast, Mr . Hu?”
Both Hu Qianli and Lin Bo were stunned by his words . Although Lin Bo knew that Hu Qianli had lost his arm at the Fairy Planet, he did not know whether it had been bitten off by a beast .
“Yes, my arm was bitten off by a beast the last time I visited the Fairy Planet . If I hadn’t been lucky, I would have died there,” Hu Qianli replied . He had started to have confidence in Di Jiu’s skills . The fact that his arm had been bitten by a wild beast was a secret that even his wife did not know, yet Di Jiu had been able to tell with one glance . He was certainly no ordinary person .
Di Jiu’s eyes brightened as he asked, “You have been to the Fairy Planet, Mr . Hu?”
“Yes, I have . If there is anything you would like to know, I will be happy to answer your questions truthfully,” Hu Qianli answered quickly . He could tell that Di Jiu was immensely interested in the Fairy Planet .
“Sure, let’s go take a look at your son first . Once he recovers, I will help you go through detox before I ask you a few questions,” Di Jiu said with a nod .
“Have I been poisoned?” Hu Qianli asked uncertainly . He then immediately seemed to understand . “No wonder…” he said .
If Di Jiu had not told him so, he would not have suspected that he had been poisoned . As soon as he heard his words though, he understood why he had been feeling under the weather lately .
…
When Hu Qianli led Di Jiu and Lin Bo into the room, they found his wife, Liu Qiyan, pacing around anxiously .
Hu Fei had left the hospital in a frail state, so his life would be in danger if there were no doctors around to treat him .
Liu Qiyan was relieved when she saw her husband and Lin Bo . “Where is the master?” she asked .
