Chapter Twenty-Four: The Disfigured Female Superstar

Su Xiran naturally recognized the Chen Tianpeng in front of her, the chairman of Tianpeng Group and a prominent figure in Moonsea City.

Although Chen Tianpeng was not the top-tier figure in Moonsea City, he was undoubtedly unattainable for ordinary people.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Sister Xixi, it's nothing, I just helped him with his illness before."

When Chen Tianpeng saw Su Xiran, he did not wonder why Lin Chen had a cold and beautiful mixed-race female doctor by his side in the hospital last time, and now he was so intimate with this beautiful woman. Such questions were meaningless to him.

He himself had many women, and in his view, a capable man would naturally have a group of beautiful women around him.

Although the women by Lin Chen's side seemed to be overly beautiful.

Seeing the tenderness in Lin Chen's eyes as he looked at Su Xiran, Chen Tianpeng narrowed his eyes and had already formed an impression of her.

Hearing Lin Chen's words, Chen Tianpeng smiled and said, "That's right. If it weren't for Brother Lin last time, I wouldn't have survived. Is this your sister-in-law?"

Su Xiran's face turned red, but she did not deny it. She politely replied, "Mr. Chen, hello."

Chen Tianpeng smiled and turned to Lin Chen, "Brother Lin, I'm sorry for the inconvenience you encountered while dining here. It's all due to my poor hospitality. Let me apologize to you."

Lin Chen smiled, "Mr. Chen, you're too kind."

Chen Tianpeng, however, was a bit unhappy, "Brother Lin, are you looking down on me? Why are you being so formal, calling me Mr. Chen? I'm a few years older than you. If you don't mind, call me Brother Chen."

Manager Huang was even more surprised. What kind of background did this young man have to make his boss take the initiative to call him brother?

Lin Chen nodded, "Alright, Brother Chen."

Chen Tianpeng smiled contentedly, then had Manager Huang arrange some more expensive dishes to entertain Lin Chen and Su Xiran, and then left.

Outside the door, Gangzi asked Chen Tianpeng in confusion, "Boss, is it really necessary to be so polite to that kid?"

Chen Tianpeng smiled and said, "What do you think of that kid?"

Hearing this, Gangzi frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Although I haven't had a proper fight with him, I can tell his martial arts skills are not weak. He also cured you last time, so his medical skills are obviously very good. Moreover, he gives me a particularly dangerous feeling, he must be a ruthless person!"

Chen Tianpeng said, "Since you already know that, why are you asking me? He's capable, can save lives, and is ruthless. If such a person can be befriended, don't provoke him."

Gangzi nodded, "Indeed, this kid doesn't talk much, but I have a feeling that you shouldn't provoke him. When facing him, I always feel like I'm facing a quiet but potentially deadly hungry wolf that could pounce and bite my throat at any moment."

Gangzi had been through countless gang fights and had encountered many ruthless people, but this was the first time someone like Lin Chen made him feel inexplicably uneasy.

Seeing Chen Tianpeng and the others leave, Su Xiran's big eyes shone as she stared at Lin Chen, as if looking at a freak.

Lin Chen touched his nose and smiled awkwardly, "Sister Xixi, why are you looking at me like that?"

Su Xiran asked curiously, "When did you learn medical skills? How could you make someone like Chen Tianpeng call you brother? And after the incident with Liu Shanhua, they didn't seek revenge on you or cause trouble for me. It seems you have a lot of secrets."

At the end, she pouted cutely, expressing her dissatisfaction.

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Didn't I tell you that I learned some medical skills from my grandfather? It just so happens that I had a special remedy for Chen Tianpeng's illness, so I cured him."

He didn't mention the medical martial arts inheritance, as it was too incredible for ordinary people to believe.

Su Xiran nodded, not pressing further. Lin Chen had indeed told her that he learned some medical skills from his grandfather.

At this moment, a couple at a nearby table, after ordering their food, the woman said to the man, "It's really terrifying. A big star like An Xuerao was disfigured. It's such a pity that she was ruined like this."

The man replied, "Yes, a superstar with international fame, and she was ruined like this. I wonder who could be so vicious."

Hearing their conversation, Su Xiran's face showed sympathy, and she said to Lin Chen, "Lin Chen, An Xuerao is really pitiful. The person who threw the sulfuric acid is terrifying. I wonder what deep grudge could make someone do such a crazy thing."

Lin Chen looked puzzled and said, "An Xuerao, you mean the big star who recently won the Huaxia Film Queen title?"

Su Xiran nodded, "You didn't know about this? It's been all over the news and newspapers these past two days.

Huaxia Film Queen An Xuerao was splashed with sulfuric acid at the entrance of her company. Although she's not in danger of losing her life, her face is ruined. It's such a pity. From a beauty that could captivate a nation, she's now a monster. I wonder if she can get through this."

Hearing this, Lin Chen thought for a moment and suddenly had an idea.

If he could cure this big star's face, she would probably be willing to pay him a substantial fee.

After finishing the meal and parting ways with Su Xiran, who was somewhat reluctant to leave, he returned to his residence.

The next morning, Lin Chen appeared at the Moonsea University Affiliated Hospital.

According to his information, the superstar An Xuerao was currently being treated at this hospital. However, based on his understanding of current medical technology, it was impossible to completely cure a face disfigured by sulfuric acid and restore it to its original state.

But Lin Chen could do it, so he was here to earn some medical fees, as he was currently short on money.

One million yuan, if the big star was willing to pay him one million yuan, he would help her cure her face.

Outside the hospital, a large crowd of fans and reporters were gathered, but they were kept out, and only real patients and doctors could enter.

This was not a problem for Lin Chen. He nimbly climbed a large tree behind the hospital. The tree was as tall as the third floor of the hospital. Climbing to the top, he leaped and landed on the third-floor corridor of the hospital.

"An Xuerao should be in the dermatology department. I'll find out where the dermatology department is first," Lin Chen muttered.

He asked a nurse and quickly found the dermatology department on the second floor of the hospital. Not knowing which room An Xuerao was in, he started searching the corridor.

"Who are you? What are you doing here, sneaking around?"

A handsome man wearing glasses stood behind Lin Chen, questioning him arrogantly.

Two nurses followed him, looking at him with admiration. Hearing this, they also frowned at Lin Chen.

"Did you hear me? Are you deaf?"

The man saw that Lin Chen was ignoring him and asked again, this time louder.

Lin Chen turned around and said coldly, "I'm not deaf, I heard you. This is a hospital, not your home. Why do I need your permission to be here?"

The man was furious, "You... ungrateful! If you're not a patient, leave now!"

Lin Chen frowned, "Why should I?"

The man's face was proud, "Because I am a formal dermatologist at this hospital! I have the authority to ask irrelevant people to leave!"

This man had graduated less than a year ago and was already a formal doctor. He had always been a prominent figure in school, so he was naturally arrogant and self-important.

At this hospital, the nurses also liked to revolve around him, and in his view, he had clearly become an important figure in the hospital.

The nurse beside him looked at Lin Chen with disdain and said,

"I guess you're a fan of An Xuerao, sneaking in here? I've seen many people like you. I warn you to leave quickly and not interfere with Dr. Fan's treatment of patients."

Lin Chen shook his head, "I'm not a fan of An Xuerao. I'm here to treat her."

As if hearing the biggest joke, Dr. Fan laughed mockingly.

"Ha ha ha. Are you a patient from the psychiatric department? You want to treat An Xuerao? Do you know how severe her face injury is? You must be crazy!"

The two nurses couldn't help but laugh, but more politely, not as recklessly as Dr. Fan.

This guy is really cute in his foolishness. Is he really a patient from the psychiatric department? Or is he a fan of An Xuerao, lying to see his idol, but saying such an unreliable thing?

Lin Chen said calmly, "Have you finished laughing? If you have, tell me where An Xuerao is, and I can save some time. You can't cure her face, but I can."

Dr. Fan was furious, "I think you're a mental patient! An Xuerao's face was splashed with sulfuric acid, and even the most advanced medical techniques in America can't completely cure it. You can? Dream on!"

Lin Chen said, "Since I'm here, I have the confidence to cure her."

"You... thinking you can do it, you're a lunatic," Dr. Fan felt like he was about to be angered to death by this reckless guy.

A nurse laughed, "Dr. Fan, don't get angry over this guy, it's not worth it."

She said coldly to Lin Chen, "Treating patients isn't something you can do just by saying you can. You say you can treat, but to me, you're just talking nonsense. Why should we believe you?"

Lin Chen thought for a moment and said, "You're right. How about I tell you what illnesses you have to prove it?"

The nurse was furious, "What are you talking about? Who is sick? I think you're the one who's sick. Can you even speak properly?"

Lin Chen ignored her and continued, "You have body odor, I bet you spray half a bottle of perfume when you go out, but there's still a smell. Your endocrine is out of balance, and your menstrual cycle is irregular, right?"

The nurse's face changed abruptly.

Lin Chen then said to the other nurse, "Your face is pale, your lips are slightly purple. It's a bit cold here, but you're sweating on your forehead. You have a cold body, insomnia, and headaches, and it's been over a month."

He then looked at Dr. Fan and said with a smile, "Your problems are the easiest to diagnose. Your steps are unsteady, your lips are blue, and your cheeks are red. Your breathing is short, typical of kidney yin deficiency, and it's quite severe. Not only do you have premature ejaculation, but you might also be infertile."

"This... this..." Dr. Fan was speechless.

Regaining his composure, he hurriedly said, "How do you know about my illness? Did you investigate me before?"

Lin Chen snorted, "In traditional Chinese medicine, we diagnose through observation, inquiry, and pulse-taking. Your symptoms are so obvious, and I'm not blind."

Dr. Fan didn't care about Lin Chen's sarcasm. Hearing his answer, his heart was filled with shock.

In traditional Chinese medicine, it's true that we diagnose through observation, inquiry, and pulse-taking, but how many can really diagnose just by looking?

With an urgent expression, he said, "Can you treat it?"

He indeed had severe kidney yin deficiency, but he hadn't taken it seriously, relying on some supplements. However, a few days ago, he was told that his kidneys were damaged and he might be infertile. It almost scared him to death.

Seeing that Lin Chen seemed to be able to treat it, he immediately saw Lin Chen as a lifeline.

Lin Chen smiled, "I can treat it, but you didn't believe I could treat, so I don't want to treat you."
