Chapter 32: Come Home with Me

Although feeling like crying, Brother Yuan still obediently took out all the money he had and handed it to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen took the money, glanced at it, and estimated it to be around three to four thousand. He was somewhat dissatisfied and said, "You guys are really a bunch of poor devils, carrying only this much money when you go out."

Brother Yuan's eyes were red. He had only come to collect two thousand, but ended up giving away three to four thousand and was still called a poor devil. This was truly heart-wrenching. But what could he do since he couldn't fight back? He could only endure it, and in the future, he would have to run away if he encountered them again.

"Alright, now scram." Lin Chen waved his hand.

Brother Yuan and the two younger brothers fled as if they had been granted a pardon.

Turning around, he saw Bai Lan looking at him with shining eyes. Lin Chen touched his nose and smiled, "I know I'm amazing, but your gaze is a bit scary. It's like you've become my die-hard fan."

Bai Lan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Brother Lin Chen, I just realized you're so much fun."

Lin Chen's eyes widened, and he feigned anger, "What, do you think I'm boring?"

Bai Lan's smile was still a bit shy, but she was clearly more relaxed, "Not boring, but I thought you were the cool and aloof type. Hehe."

Lin Chen smiled, "What about now?"

"Now, I feel that although Brother Lin Chen looks a bit cold, it's only towards bad people. At least to me, Brother Lin Chen is very interesting. And you know medicine, and you're skilled, I really admire you." Bai Lan finished and adorably wrinkled her nose.

Seeing her playful and cute appearance, Lin Chen couldn't help but laugh, "Don't be blindly admiring, I don't like die-hard fans."

Then he continued, "I said I can cure your leukemia, but you seem a bit skeptical?"

Bai Lan's face showed a hint of sadness, "I know Brother Lin Chen is a good person, but the doctors said it's incurable, it's just not possible..."

Before she could finish, Lin Chen interrupted her.

"They can't cure it, but I can. If you trust me, I will treat you. Do you trust me?" Lin Chen looked at Bai Lan seriously.

Bai Lan stared at Lin Chen's sincere eyes. His eyes were clear and free of any evil intentions. She finally nodded, "I trust Brother Lin Chen."

After careful consideration, Lin Chen had no reason to deceive her. Plus, she felt very good about Lin Chen, so she chose to believe him. She could see genuine concern for her on his face.

Lin Chen saw a hint of doubt in her eyes but didn't mind. It was hard for an ordinary person to believe he could cure her incurable disease.

Besides, this was only their second meeting. The fact that she was willing to trust him was already very satisfying.

"Don't worry too much. Treating this disease will take some time, but it's not difficult. In the early stage, acupuncture will be used for seven days, followed by herbal medicine for over a month. Then the disease will be completely cured." Lin Chen smiled.

"Ah, it can be cured in over a month? That's still called taking a long time?"

Bai Lan found it hard to believe. If she didn't trust Lin Chen, she would have thought he was talking nonsense.

Lin Chen nodded, "Yes, it will take over a month. Don't think it's easy. In the world, you might not find a second person who can cure this disease for you."

He was right. His method might seem simple, but the acupuncture step alone might not be replicated by anyone else in the world.

The acupuncture method used to treat Bai Lan was the same as the one used to treat An Xueyao's face, called "Five Elements Taiyi Divine Needle"!

In traditional Chinese medicine, the human body's organs are categorized by the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. "Taiyi" is the "Dao" in Daoism. The "Five Elements Taiyi Divine Needle" uses the body's own "Dao" to rapidly repair and restore damaged tissues, with effects almost like bringing the dead back to life and regenerating flesh.

Whether there was a second person in the world who knew this "Five Elements Taiyi Divine Needle" was still unknown.

Bai Lan nodded, seemingly understanding, but didn't ask further. Since she had chosen to trust Lin Chen, she decided not to ask more questions.

Lin Chen suddenly thought of something and his expression turned serious, "By the way, where do you live? Did those three people know your address? Although I chased them away, I'm worried they might come back for revenge. I can't be with you all the time, and if I'm not around, it could be troublesome."

Bai Lan's face turned pale, "Mr. Yuan knows where I live. He even went to my place to collect the money. What... what should we do?"

She was clearly afraid. If they really came back for revenge, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Lin Chen frowned slightly. He hadn't thought of this before. If he had, he would have dealt with them more harshly, just like he did with General Manager Liu Shanhua and the others, to thoroughly scare them and prevent them from coming back for revenge.

Lin Chen asked, "Do you live alone or with friends?"

Bai Lan said with a hint of sadness, "I live alone. I... I don't have many friends."

Lin Chen saw the pure and delicate, yet pale face full of sorrow and felt a bit heartache.

Although they had only met twice, he could easily tell that Bai Lan was an introverted and easily shy person, even somewhat insecure. With such a personality and being busy working every day, it was normal for her to have no friends.

After some thought, Lin Chen hesitated, "How about you come home with me?"

"Ah?"

Bai Lan, like a frightened little rabbit, suddenly widened her eyes and stared at Lin Chen, her pale face turning red.

"Um... don't misunderstand. I'm just worried those people might come back for revenge. Also, if you live with me, it will be more convenient to treat you." Lin Chen quickly explained.

"But... but..."

Bai Lan's face was red, and she seemed hesitant. Although she had a good impression of Lin Chen, the idea of going home with a man she had only met twice was clearly difficult for her to decide.

"You don't have to be too troubled. If you're afraid I'm a pervert and might take advantage of you, then forget it." Lin Chen said.

Bai Lan thought Lin Chen was angry and quickly waved her hands, "No, no. I'm not afraid Brother Lin Chen is a pervert. I... I trust Brother Lin Chen. I'll go pack my things and... and go home with Brother Lin Chen."

Seeing her flustered appearance, Lin Chen couldn't help but laugh. This girl was so kind and innocent that it made him feel protective.

He smiled, "I'm not angry, and you don't need to be so flustered. I was a bit rash to ask you to come home with me. But you, to so easily agree to go home with a man, it's good you met me. If it were someone else, you might be sold and still count the money for them."
