Chapter 82

"Standing up! I'm finally standing up again!" Nangong Tian murmured, his eyes gleaming with excitement bordering on madness.

Being able to independently manage a group, Nangong Tian was undoubtedly a strong man of his generation. At fifty or sixty, he was certainly not old. Yet, he had been unable to stand up early on and could only rely on a cane, or even a wheelchair for mobility. Although Nangong Tian tried to appear calm on the surface, the frustration in his heart was evident.

He had visited hospitals all over the world, enduring countless examinations and treatments, but his condition only worsened.

Today, he finally saw hope and could stand up again. How could he not be excited?

"Father, how are you?"

Outside the door, Nangong Yiren had been extremely anxious from the beginning. A quack doctor, in her eyes, was treating her most respected father... If it weren't for President He's presence, she would never have agreed.

Even so, waiting for news outside made her restless. When she heard the scream earlier, she almost burst in.

"Don't come in!"

Nangong Tian was still naked at this moment! He had been too excited earlier. A surge of emotion made him feel he could stand up, and that desire made him forget everything.

Now, hearing his daughter's question from outside, he immediately realized.

He quickly put on his clothes.

"Doctor Lin, I am truly grateful to you! Your skills are miraculous! Truly miraculous! To be honest, even with President He's repeated assurances, I still had my doubts before you treated me. Only after seeing the results did I realize how short-sighted I was. Traditional Chinese medicine is profound and extensive, and I, Nangong Tian, am shallow and ignorant!" Nangong Tian was very smart and first showed his sincerity.

However, Lin Yihang was not swayed by his flattery.

"Mr. Nangong, you're too kind. As I said, I treat patients for a fee. If you find this treatment effective, please transfer one million to this account."

Lin Yihang maintained a distant demeanor. As he spoke, he took a nearby notepad and wrote down a series of numbers, including the bank name.

Then, he wrote a prescription and handed it to He Runze.

"President He, the herbs listed on this prescription must be of the highest quality and age to ensure the effectiveness of the medicine. I hope you can personally oversee the preparation to avoid any mistakes. The usage and dosage are clearly written."

"Alright!" He Runze took the prescription, glanced at it, and treasured it as if it were a precious gem.

The entire treatment process, from acupuncture to writing the prescription, was all done under his supervision... This was a rare opportunity! Traditional Chinese medicine has deep sectarian divisions. Lin Yihang's actions were equivalent to being completely open and unguarded.

He Runze certainly did not feel like he was being used as a lackey; this was more like being allowed to learn openly and legitimately!

At such a young age, to have such a broad-minded attitude and not hide his skills was truly remarkable.

He Runze looked at Lin Yihang with increasing admiration, almost bordering on reverence. His medical skills were excellent, and his medical ethics were high... He was nearly a perfect person!

Beside him, Nangong Tian let out a bitter laugh. He could clearly hear the meaning behind Lin Yihang's words. The doubts he had earlier were not easily forgiven.

After giving the instructions, Lin Yihang opened the door.

At the door, Nangong Yiren stood with a tense expression, her professional attire accentuating her curvaceous figure and beautiful face, filled with anxiety.

"How is my father?" she asked immediately upon seeing Lin Yihang come out.

"See for yourself." Lin Yihang sidestepped and walked towards the living room.

"Ha ha ha, it's fine! Much better! Doctor Lin is truly miraculous, with skills beyond measure!" Nangong Tian laughed as he walked over.

Although he did not walk fast, his steps were steady.

"Father! You... You can walk without a cane?" Nangong Yiren rushed over, excited.

Lin Yihang ignored their excitement and walked out. His treatment was complete, and he had left his bank account details. He believed that with Nangong Tian's demonstrated demeanor and President He's influence, the one million fee would not be a problem.

Just as he reached the door, Nangong Yiren caught up.

"Doctor Lin, please wait."

The ice beauty quickly caught up, her usually unchanging face flushed with excitement. Her gaze towards Lin Yihang was completely different from before.

"Miss Nangong, is there anything else?" Lin Yihang stopped and turned to ask.

"Doctor Lin, please wait a moment. My father wants to thank you personally," Nangong Yiren said.

"No need! I've already said that I treat patients for a fee. This is just a transaction. You just need to remember to transfer the fee to my account on time," Lin Yihang said.

"Ha ha ha, the fee is no problem. I've traveled all over the world for this illness, spending countless amounts of money and wasting a lot of time. Doctor Lin's treatment has saved me time and brought me health, which cannot be measured by money," Nangong Tian said, not daring to walk fast. He Runze followed closely, clearly afraid that Nangong Tian might have an accident after just standing up.

"Doctor Lin, would you please come to the living room and sit for a moment? My daughter and I have wronged you," Nangong Tian invited again.

"No, I have other matters to attend to and need to return quickly," Lin Yihang directly refused, his tone calm but his attitude firm.

He was not someone to be easily swayed. To doubt and then seek reconciliation... It was not that easy.

Nangong Tian let out a bitter laugh, knowing that he could not persuade Lin Yihang to stay. He cleared his throat and was about to say something when Nangong Yiren spoke first:

"I'm truly sorry for what happened earlier. I was wrong! I apologize to you!"

Nangong Tian gave Nangong Yiren a surprised look. He knew that his daughter was very strong-willed and would not easily apologize to anyone.

"Hmm!" Lin Yihang just nodded slightly.

They were indeed wrong... That was a fact. He had no qualms about accepting their apology.

"Doctor Lin, when will you have time to come for a second treatment for my father?" Nangong Yiren asked.

Even though she did not have high hopes for traditional Chinese medicine, the results were undeniable, and she had no choice but to trust.

"It's not a matter of time. I said that the second treatment depends on my mood," Lin Yihang said bluntly.

Of course, there was one thing he did not mention: his mood was directly linked to money. The doubt he had faced earlier made him very unhappy, and the only way to resolve it was to increase the fee!

The Nangong family clearly had great wealth, and spending a few million to save a life was not expensive. Helping the poor Doctor Lin was truly justified.

"You..." Nangong Yiren's beautiful brows furrowed.

"Doctor Lin," Nangong Tian interrupted her first, clearly afraid that his daughter would say something more offensive, making things even more difficult, "You mentioned earlier that my daughter is also ill. Was that a joke or serious?"

"I never joke about my patients!" Lin Yihang said.

Nangong Tian's heart sank. Nangong Yiren, however, seemed to recall something and her face turned pale.

"Ha ha, I see. Doctor Lin, you seem to have an interest in antiques, especially bronze artifacts. I happen to have a few bronze artifacts in my collection. If you are interested, would you like my daughter to take you to appraise them?" Nangong Tian suddenly said.

Lin Yihang was slightly taken aback. This Nangong Tian was very good at reading people! If he had directly asked Lin Yihang to treat him and his daughter, Lin Yihang would have refused outright.

Doctor Lin Yihang needed to maintain his dignity. The higher the dignity, the higher the fee.

However, Nangong Tian's mention of bronze artifacts hit the spot, making it impossible for Lin Yihang to refuse.
