Chapter 80 - Repaying Kindness With Violence
The old man’s strong reaction to the treatment yesterday had given him hope.
It took more than an hour for the treatment session to be finished.
While Luo Ziling was treating the old man, Linlan had been standing by his side, helping him with whatever he needed.
However, the treatment session did not yield any extraordinary results this time; the old man’s body reacted in a similar way as the previous time.
When the acupuncture needles were inserted and had Qi channeled through them, some parts of the old man’s body reacted, but some parts did not react at all.
This didn’t surprise Luo Ziling too much, however. After all, the old man’s condition was severe to the point where there had been no results even after seeking out a lot of famous medical experts.
Because of the damage to the nerves caused by the injury, his hands and feet could not move. Therefore, there was no way there would be any tangible results after only one or two treatment sessions. As it was, Luo Ziling was already satisfied that the old man had reacted so much even after the first
treatment session.
However, Linlan was not happy. After the treatment session, the old man had fallen asleep, his whole body covered in sweat. When she accompanied Luo Ziling out of the old man’s room, she then asked him a few questions about the treatment, only to learn that there had been no obvious improvement.
“Is this treatment method useless?” she asked softly in a muffled voice, facial expression now gloomy.
When he heard her words, Luo Ziling had to suppress a laugh. “Have you ever heard of the saying, ‘when an illness comes, it’s like a mountain toppling over’?” he asked. “As long as we persist in the treatment and the chief cooperates, I have confidence that his ailment will be cured.”
Linlan stood still and looked at Luo Ziling very seriously. “Do you guarantee it?”
“There is never a 100% guarantee in medical matters. If you catch a cold, you might still lose your life. I cannot guarantee that I will be able to cure any illness,” Luo Ziling immediately made a solemn statement, afraid of falling into Linlan’s trap. “I am not the only one who won’t guarantee anything; my
grandfather would also say the same. As a doctor, I can only try my best to treat you. If there is a chance of being cured, I won’t give up. That is enough.”
Linlan had actually wanted to hear Luo Ziling say that he would definitely be able to cure the chief, so when she heard his words, she was a little disappointed.
“If you can cure the chief’s illness, everyone here will be grateful to you,” Linlan said, feeling a little choked up. Then, she said seriously, “If you can cure the chiefs illness, how about I repay you?”
“With what?”
Linlan glared at him, but didn’t elaborate, which disappointed the curious Luo Ziling.
He recovered quickly, however, and said, “I can promise that I’ll help you remove the scars on your body, though.” When he saw Linlan’s eyes light up, he immediately asked shamelessly, “If I help you remove all the scars on your body, will you thank me?”
“Tll owe you my life.” Linlan extended a hand and said solemnly, “We will repay your kindness.”
“What will you repay me with?” Luo Ziling asked again, unsatisfied at the vagueness of her answer.
However, Linlan ignored him and just looked at him with a complicated expression as she continued to walk forward.
Luo Ziling could only follow her dejectedly.
Couldn’t this woman not act so coldly all the time? It wasn’t like talking a little more was going to kill her or anything.
However, after walking a couple more steps, Luo Ziling cautiously slowed down.
Two very big men were walking towards him from both sides. He’d seen them the previous day.
Although they were not making any threatening movements, Luo Ziling instinctively felt a sense of trepidation and slowed down his footsteps.
Linlan, who was walking in front of him, also slowed down, but didn’t turn back.
Suddenly, the black-faced man on the left, who was about 1.8 meters tall, rushed toward Luo ziling.
Luo Ziling’s eyes turned cold. He quickly tidied up the bag on his shoulder and dodged to the side.
‘When the Big Guy was about three meters away from Luo Ziling, he threw a kick at him. However, Luo Ziling anticipated this and moved out of the way.
He was angered at the man’s actions; he came all the way here to treat someone’s ailment, but as soon as he finished, they attacked him!
If it wasn’t for the fact that he was afraid of them taking their guns out, he would’ve retaliated already.
“What are you doing?” Luo Ziling asked angrily.
However, the big guy did not answer. Instead, he twisted his body around and kicked at Luo Ziling with great force.
After being attacked by the other party twice in a row and sensing the man’s killing intent, Luo Ziling was completely furious. He stopped dodging the man’s attacks and instead kicked behind him from a very tricky angle, aiming for his assailant’s face.
With a “Bang’, his foot struck the man’s right leg, who was unable to dodge in time.
The big man did not expect Luo Ziling to counterattack in such a way. Although he had already reacted when he saw that the situation was not good, his actions were still slower than the speed of Luo Ziling’s attack by half a beat.
‘When Luo Ziling’s kick connected with his leg, a piercing pain stabbed up his thigh, slowing his movements.
Of course, Luo Ziling would not let go of such an opportunity. He leapt into the air, twisting his body into a spinning kick and aiming it at his opponent.
‘The big guy was so shocked that he did not have time to dodge. He brought his arms up to block the incoming blow, to which Luo Ziling sent a flurry of kicks at.
With a muffled groan, the big guy staggered back from the onslaught before managing to stabilize himself.
Linlan had come to a stop and stood to the side to watch the battle curiously.
She couldn’t help but be surprised when she saw Luo Ziling beat the big guy back even though the other man had pre-empted him.
The other person who had arrived with the big man was a middle-aged man in his thirties with a cold face and fair skin.
He was also surprised to see that the big guy was defeated by Luo Ziling in just a few moves.
He and Lin Lan could also see that the reason why Luo Ziling was able to gain an advantage was because of his speed.
‘Whether it came to offense or defense, Luo Ziling was incredibly fast in both departments, so much so that none of them could compare to him.
Just as the big guy was about to be knocked over by Luo Ziling’s heavy attacks, the middle-aged man ran up to them and sent a kick at Luo Ziling’s face. However, even while Luo Ziling was fighting with the big guy, he was already on guard against this man.
‘When Luo Ziling saw the other party’s attack, he didn’t dodge out of the way and instead kicked back at the man, which caught him off guard.
Linlan, who was watching the battle from the side, could not help but exclaim, “Be careful!”
She knew that the middle-aged man’s kicking skills were impressive. With just a side kick, he could easily break a tree.
If he kicked a person’s leg, there was no doubt he could break the bone.
She was worried for Luo Ziling, This guy was actually prepared to meet force with force..
