Chapter 79

"Will a million yuan for the consultation fee be acceptable to the patient?" Lin Yihang asked.

"Uh... The patient said that as long as it works, a million yuan is no problem," He Runze said, slightly hesitating.

After all, Lin Yihang had initially said that he would require a million yuan consultation fee upfront for any house call. Now, changing it to payment after the treatment was effective did not quite meet his requirements.

Lin Yihang hesitated slightly upon hearing this. He Runze's heart also tightened. His passion for medicine made him very eager to see the skills of a national medical expert like Lin Yihang.

"Alright!" Lin Yihang finally nodded.

He knew that given his age and experience, demanding such a high consultation fee was already a stretch, and the patient was probably willing to accept it due to the recommendation from Dean He. If he insisted on payment upfront, it would be unrealistic.

Moreover, he was confident in his medical skills. Treating these ordinary people's illnesses should not be a problem. Whether the payment was made before or after the treatment, it would be the same.

After treating a few cases and building a reputation, he could make more demands.

Making unreasonable demands without the ability would only make people think he was crazy.

"That's great! Thank you, Doctor Lin, for your understanding. When will you be available? I'll come to pick you up," He Runze said happily.

"Right now!" Lin Yihang gave the location of the alley entrance.

Then, he went to park his electric scooter and came back, waiting at the alley entrance.

A moment later, a Passat pulled up and slowly stopped. He Runze got out of the car with a smile, "I'm really sorry, Doctor Lin, for keeping you waiting."

"No problem! I just arrived," Lin Yihang replied politely. He was not a ruthless and unreasonable person. After all, Dean He had helped him and had always been very courteous. He naturally wanted to reciprocate with politeness.

Lin Yihang sat in the passenger seat, and the Passat slowly started.

Seizing the opportunity, He Runze naturally chatted about some common knowledge of acupuncture. Of course, He Runze did most of the talking, while Lin Yihang listened. The acupuncture system on Dragon Tiger Mountain in the Immortal Continent was different from Earth's, but the principles were similar.

Lin Yihang understood everything He Runze said, and it increased his knowledge of common medical practices. Occasionally, when Lin Yihang spoke, it gave He Runze a feeling of enlightenment.

After all, the acupuncture techniques on Dragon Tiger Mountain were much more advanced than those on Earth.

Throughout the journey, both felt they had gained a lot. Especially He Runze, who became even more impressed with Lin Yihang's medical skills. In his view, this young man, though young, was undoubtedly a master among masters. The more he interacted with him, the more he realized the depth of his expertise.

When the car stopped at the entrance of a villa complex, He Runze felt a sense of unfinished business.

"Doctor Lin is truly a great person! I have learned a lot from this exchange. It feels like the knowledge I've gained in the past few decades is like a child's play!"

When a girl came to greet them at the entrance, she saw He Runze looking at Lin Yihang with a worshipful expression.

An old man and a young man... If their roles were reversed, it would seem very harmonious. However, with He Runze, an elderly man with gray hair, speaking to a young man who looked no more than twenty in such a tone, it felt very out of place!

Fortunately, the girl knew something about Old He; otherwise, she might have suspected it was a performance.

Cold and noble!

This was the impression Lin Yihang gave to the girl. She was dressed in an expensive suit. Her beautiful face, though not as stunning as Dong Qing's, was icy cold.

"Hello, Dean He. My father is waiting in the living room. Please follow me," the girl greeted He Runze, only glancing at Lin Yihang with the same cold tone and expression.

"Please lead the way, General Manager Nangong," He Runze said politely to the girl.

General Manager Nangong... This title was not low. Lin Yihang glanced at her; she looked to be around twenty-five, yet she was already a general manager. However, it was normal, considering she was probably a rich second generation. A house call for a million yuan could only be afforded by someone extraordinary.

Red bricks and blue tiles, with high eaves... The entire building had a rich classical style. The living room was simply decorated but not plain, with crystal chandeliers, redwood furniture, and various decorations on the shelves and paintings on the walls, all indicating the owner's taste.

At this moment, the owner of the house—a man in his fifties—was sitting in the main seat. Nangong still had that cold face, standing behind him, maintaining a certain distance from the others, as she had done on the way.

Lin Yihang and He Runze sat in the guest seats, with Lin Yihang in the upper seat. It was not that Lin Yihang did not respect the elderly, but He Runze insisted on giving the seat to the more capable person.

When Lin Yihang sat in the upper seat, the old man and the cold girl clearly showed a hint of surprise in their eyes.

"Hehe, thank you, Dean He and Doctor Lin for coming. Yiren, bring some tea quickly," the old man gestured to the cold girl behind him.

Yiren, Nangong Yiren. A nice name, fitting her well.

Lin Yihang couldn't help but evaluate her in his mind.

Nangong Yiren nodded and went behind a screen.

"Chairman, you're too polite. Treating patients is our duty," Dean He said with a smile.

Then, he turned to Lin Yihang, "Doctor Lin, this is Mr. Nangong Tian, the chairman of Yijia Auction House."

"Oh?" Hearing the word "auction house," Lin Yihang's interest was piqued, "Mr. Nangong, your business must involve antiques, right?"

"Hehe, yes! Antiques auction is our main business. So, Doctor Lin, are you interested in antiques?" Nangong Tian asked with a smile.

"Yes, I really like bronze artifacts, like the Simuwu Ding and the Four Rams Square Vase. I wonder if I could have the chance to collect something similar," Lin Yihang said.

"Cough!" Nangong Tian, who had been smiling, choked on his saliva upon hearing this.

Dean He's face also showed a moment of embarrassment. This young friend seemed to have been focused on medicine, with excellent medical skills but lacking in other areas of common knowledge!

Nangong Yiren, who happened to be bringing the tea, gave Lin Yihang a look of disdain.

Collecting artifacts like the Simuwu Ding and the Four Rams Square Vase... These are national treasures! How ignorant must one be to say such a thing!

Lin Yihang looked at them and, of course, understood their thoughts, but he did not bother to explain. The Simuwu Ding and the Four Rams Square Vase, he would eventually obtain. It might sound crazy now, but with the increase in his strength, as a Xian Shi, Xian Shi, Da Xian Shi, and Xian Zun, he would be able to do anything. As long as there were no special circumstances, stealing a few treasures from the National Museum would be easy.

"Let's get started. Who needs treatment, Mr. Nangong or General Manager Yiren?" Lin Yihang, not wanting to say more, asked directly.

"It's me. My old bones are full of problems, but my daughter is quite healthy," Nangong Tian said, his body clearly having many issues, but his attitude was quite open.

"Healthy? Not necessarily!" Lin Yihang glanced at Nangong Yiren indifferently.
