Chapter 6: The Medicine King's Legacy

Zheng Qian did not say much to Lu Yuli after what had just happened. With so many people around, it was not appropriate to ask directly.

"You're injured, let me take you to the infirmary!" Zheng Qian looked at Lu Yuli and said.

For some reason, Lu Yuli did not refuse but followed Zheng Qian to the school infirmary.

After the medicine was applied, the doctor said it was a minor injury and would not leave a scar as long as the wound was changed regularly.

"Thank you!" Lu Yuli said softly to Zheng Qian.

This response left Zheng Qian speechless, and he could not bring up the topic of the stolen phone, so he had to put it aside for now.

Back in the dormitory, the three roommates were all playing games and knew nothing about what had happened at the school gate. This made Zheng Qian feel relieved, as he did not have to come up with more lies.

"How did you come back so quickly?" Chen Zihao looked at Zheng Qian.

"Oh, actually, my rib wasn't as badly broken as I thought. I met an old doctor who fixed it for me. Knowing that I am also a doctor and need to prepare for my internship, he let me come back to recover on my own," Zheng Qian replied casually.

Chen Zihao clearly did not believe him, but seeing that Zheng Qian seemed fine, he was just curious and could not find a reason to argue.

"By the way, Zheng Qian, your resume has been selected by the Han City Hospital. The counselor just sent someone to inform you that you have an interview the day after tomorrow!" Chen Zihao continued.

Zheng Qian nodded, looking at the three of them. He thought for a moment and decided not to mention the incident with the girl who had tried to scam him, but he was determined not to let the matter rest.

Sitting at his desk, Zheng Qian just plugged in his phone to charge it.

"Buzz!"

A message came in.

"Righteousness prevails, heaven shows mercy, 100 points of merit accumulated!"

Zheng Qian was stunned. He checked the time of the message, which was right after he had driven away Dongfang Hong and the others.

"Is it really that easy?" Zheng Qian's face showed excitement. If so, helping grandmothers cross the street could also accumulate merit. Then he wouldn't have to worry about the 4,000 points of merit he owed.

"Ha ha ha!"

Saying is easier than doing, Zheng Qian really went to the crosswalk to help grandmothers cross the street.

"Beep!"

After helping the tenth grandmother cross the street, his phone finally rang. When he opened it, he saw that helping one grandmother only earned him one point of merit. Zheng Qian almost spat blood in frustration.

"Hey, young man, I wasn't trying to cross the street. Why did you help me over? My home is over there..." A white-haired grandmother said shakily.

"Beep!"

Another notification sounded. Good intentions leading to bad results, five points of merit deducted.

Zheng Qian felt like crying but couldn't. Looking at the remaining six points of merit, he regretted it deeply.

On the third morning, Zheng Qian put on a neat suit and prepared to go to the Han City Hospital for the interview.

When he arrived at the interview location, there were already many people waiting at the door, including some of Zheng Qian's classmates. After exchanging greetings, Zheng Qian went to one side and waited quietly.

"What? Zheng Qian, planning to stay and work here alone? You poor country bumpkin, you'll be alone with your right hand for the rest of your life."

A woman's harsh voice made Zheng Qian frown.

Looking up, he saw Wang Haoran and Yang Yunyun standing in front of him.

Zheng Qian looked at Wang Haoran with a blank expression, then turned his gaze and ignored him without a word.

"You!" Seeing himself being ignored, Wang Haoran's face turned ugly.

Yang Yunyun, seeing Wang Haoran's embarrassment, changed her expression and shouted at Zheng Qian, "You poor scoundrel, don't block my way. A good dog doesn't block the path. If you know what's good for you, get lost!"

After saying this, she turned to Wang Haoran with a smile, "Haoran, when this poor scoundrel was pursuing me, he would stand outside my building in the dead of winter with breakfast in his arms, waiting for me. When I went down, he was almost a snowman. I've never seen anyone so foolish. I didn't want that bowl of porridge and two steamed buns. He's really that poor!"

Wang Haoran suddenly looked at Zheng Qian with a cold smile, "That's right, how could someone as poor as you ever match Yunyun?"

Zheng Qian simply didn't respond, burying his head in the chair and waiting. He didn't even want to look at the two in front of him, for fear that he would vomit the food he had eaten the other night.

"Tap."

"Tap!"

The sound of high heels on the ground echoed, and two white, beautiful legs passed in front of Zheng Qian, making him dazzled.

"If Chen Zihao were here, he would definitely drool!" Zheng Qian muttered to himself, his eyes following the woman's long legs. He couldn't help but swallow hard.

When his gaze fell on the woman's face, he was stunned.

The woman also turned her head and saw Zheng Qian, her face clearly showing panic, and she tried to leave quickly.

"Stop." Zheng Qian's face turned serious, and he shouted.

The girl's face changed, and she looked fearful, hiding the insulated box she was carrying behind her back.

"I know you have your reasons, but if I can cure your mother's illness, will you promise never to scam people again?"

The hospital corridor was crowded, and Zheng Qian quickly moved closer and whispered.

Huang Ning was stunned, then looked at Zheng Qian in disbelief, "You... how do you know? Can you really cure my mother?"

"Um!" Zheng Qian nodded and continued, "I know it's hard to believe, but I'm telling the truth. Otherwise, I would have reported you. I saw you at the Hanshan Hospital a few days ago!"

Indeed, Zheng Qian's broken ribs were treated at the Hanshan Hospital.

Huang Ning and her mother had been hospitalized at the Hanshan Hospital for half a year, spending a lot of money without any improvement in her condition. They also owed a large amount of medical bills. The hospital was pressuring them to pay, and if they couldn't, they would be kicked out and left to fend for themselves.

Huang Ning had no choice but to borrow 500 yuan from one of the members of the scam gang to cover the medical bills. Later, when the person demanded repayment, Huang Ning, with no money, had to agree to be a decoy in a scam.

That's why Lao Si Xu Zhen had such bad luck.

Now that the scam gang had been caught, Huang Ning had transferred her mother to the Han City Hospital.

Hearing Zheng Qian's words, Huang Ning paused. The person in front of her had no reason to lie. If he wanted her to be caught, he would have reported her. There was no need for him to come here. Moreover, he looked like he was here for a job interview, so it was a coincidence, not intentional stalking.

She had no other options. She might as well take a chance. Maybe her luck would be good, and she would win.

"Um, okay, I agree. As long as you can save my mother, I'll do anything!" Huang Ning said, lowering her head.

"Hey? What? Starting to flirt with girls now?" Wang Haoran and Yang Yunyun, not giving up, mocked Zheng Qian sarcastically, "With your poor and shabby appearance, I don't believe any girl would like you. You might as well give up and stay with your right hand forever!"

Zheng Qian turned and glared at Yang Yunyun, then looked at Wang Haoran, "Why do you care what I do?"

"No." Wang Haoran laughed coldly, then turned to look at Huang Ning. He hadn't noticed her before, but now, up close, he saw that Huang Ning was a real beauty. She wore a white chiffon blouse and a black mini skirt, with long, white legs that would last for years.

Compared to Huang Ning, Yang Yunyun was just a nobody. They were not in the same league. How could a firefly compete with the sun and moon?

A hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes, and he said in a sinister tone, "I'm just reminding the beautiful sister that some people look honest but have a lot of bad intentions. Don't judge people by their appearance, little sister, be careful!"

As he said this, he glanced at Huang Ning.

Yang Yunyun also screeched, "Yes, that toad was really disgusting... Luckily, I was smart and rejected him early."

Zheng Qian's brows furrowed, and anger welled up in his heart. Not only was he no longer related to Yang Yunyun, but why did she and Wang Haoran have to see him in such a bad light? Why did they have to belittle him so much?

"Thank you for your concern, but he wasn't flirting. He's already my boyfriend!" Huang Ning smiled faintly, stepped forward naturally, and linked her arm with Zheng Qian's, saying softly.

"Ah..."

Wang Haoran and Yang Yunyun were clearly taken aback and stood there in shock.

Zheng Qian was also stunned but quickly recovered, realizing that Huang Ning was helping him out of the situation. He didn't expose her.

"If you have nothing else, we'll be going!" Huang Ning smiled faintly, with two shallow dimples on her cheeks, and turned to leave, holding Zheng Qian's hand.

Seeing Yang Yunyun's face twisted with jealousy, Zheng Qian felt incredibly happy.

Wang Haoran, on the other hand, looked jealous and muttered, "Why does Zheng Qian get such a good girl, while I can only find a rotten cabbage that no one wants?"

"Who are you calling a rotten cabbage?" Although Wang Haoran's voice was low, the sharp-eared Yang Yunyun heard it and immediately reached out to scratch him, leaving his face covered in scratches.

With the help of others, Wang Haoran finally broke free from Yang Yunyun and ran toward the hospital entrance, shouting, "Unreasonable, completely unreasonable, we're breaking up, get lost!"

...

"Thank you!"

Entering her mother's ward, Huang Ning said softly to Zheng Qian.

"You should thank me!" Zheng Qian smiled and went to her mother's bedside with Huang Ning.

The woman lying in bed had a yellowish complexion and weak breathing. Zheng Qian, being a medical student, knew the severity of the situation after carefully taking her pulse.

"Beep!"

Just as he was about to think of a treatment plan, his phone vibrated, and a message came in.

"Helping others, 200 points of merit accumulated!"

"Ha!"

Zheng Qian almost shouted in excitement. He was worried about how to accumulate the merit needed to treat Huang Ning's mother, and it came just in time.

It seemed that his decision not to report her and to help Huang Ning was the right one. He had already earned 200
