Chapter 54: The Human Heart Is the Most Frightening
Lin Tian’s actions brought tears to the middle-aged man’s eyes, and he nodded silently, showing him a heartfelt smile.
"Here’s ten thousand yuan, you guys take it and use it first!" Suddenly, Bai Shishi pulled out ten thousand yuan from her bag and handed it to the middle-aged man.
"Sorry!" This time, it was the young man with the crafty eyes speaking.
"It’s okay, you’re just trying to make a living but chose the wrong path!"
Lin Tian patted the middle-aged man’s shoulder: "Don’t do this kind of thing again, or you’ll face retribution!"
"There are still good people in this world!" the traffic police officer said with emotion.
"If everyone contributed a little love, the world would become a beautiful place!" Lin Tian left these words behind and followed Bai Shishi out.
"I didn’t expect you to have this side!" As they walked out of the hospital, Bai Shishi suddenly turned her head and said.
"Which side?" Lin Tian was dumbfounded!
"This loving side!"
"I’ve always been loving!" Lin Tian smiled slightly.
"But in my view, you’re ruthless and resourceful!" That’s the conclusion Bai Shishi came to after spending a day with Lin Tian.
Bai Shishi’s ability to make it in the big city of Kanyue City speaks to her keen observational skills; a dragon will eventually soar above the nine heavens.
And Lin Tian is indeed a dragon among men.
"With you praising me like that, I’m embarrassed!" Lin Tian gave an awkward smile; he never thought he’d have so many merits.
"And I’ve noticed you seem to have the ability to foresee the future!" Bai Shishi squinted her beautiful eyes, looking at Lin Tian like she was observing a curious baby.
"Boss, what are you talking about? I don’t understand!" Here, Lin Tian played dumb, his gaze deliberately evasive, not daring to meet Bai Shishi’s eyes.
"If I remember correctly, before we even got to the hospital, you mentioned that the middle-aged man had a heart condition. It turned out after the hospital check-up that he really did. Isn’t that a foresight ability?" Bai Shishi was growing increasingly interested in Lin Tian.
He’s super fierce in fights, bold and fearless of anyone!
He’s incredibly mysterious at cards, winning in dialogue effortlessly.
She wanted to see just how many secrets this young man held.
"That’s not foresight ability!" Lin Tian smiled slightly: "The university I want to apply to is Kanyue City Medical University, so I’ve delved quite a bit into medical knowledge. By observing a person’s complexion and posture, I can somewhat determine what potential illnesses they might have!"
Lin Tian intentionally hid the ability of his eyes using medical knowledge.
But unexpectedly, this casual mention made Bai Shishi very interested.
"So you know medicine?" Bai Shishi had an air of surprise in her brows.
Recalling the information recorded in Tyrant Emperor’s Record, Lin Tian nodded: "Yes, but I only know traditional medicine, not Western medicine!"
"I see!" Bai Shishi’s expression visibly dimmed: "Traditional medicine won’t do. If you knew Western medicine, perhaps you could treat it!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Tian was displeased: "Who says traditional medicine won’t do?"
"Most traditional medicine now is just a con, using the banner of curing all diseases to scam people out of money!" Bai Shishi wasn’t speaking nonsense when she said this.
On TV, in everyday life, in newspapers, even in street ads, they’re all grandsons claiming to cure all diseases with traditional medicine, curing illnesses that others couldn’t address for years or decades with just a few concoctions.
A dose of medicine would cure everything, healing difficult diseases more easily than playing a game.
Initially, the general public believed it.
But the people aren’t fools; they are sharp-eyed.
Whether the medicine works or not can be tested easily.
Some self-proclaimed experts say it’s due to the patient’s physique that the medicine isn’t working and that some people need to take more.
How’s that? The medicine doesn’t work, and it’s the patient’s fault?
That’s a hefty blame to shoulder!
Why don’t you say it’s because you’re incompetent?
Over time, the term traditional medicine became contentious; some believe it’s not as good as Western medicine, others believe it only serves a health maintenance purpose, and some think traditional medicine is just a scam.
Does traditional medicine equal scamming?
Actually, traditional medicine being controversial isn’t due to others but us.
Traditional medicine has been around for tens of thousands of years and has always existed.
Existence is reasonable; since it’s existed for so long, there’s naturally a reason for its existence.
If ancient traditional medicine couldn’t cure people, do you think it could have made it till today?
We can only blame ourselves; instead of studying the cultural treasures left by our ancestors, we let unscrupulous businessmen and immoral doctors exploit them, turning them into tools for scamming and profit-making.
Thus, tarnishing the reputation of traditional medicine.
In truth, the most terrifying thing in this world is the human heart.
Because only the human heart can turn good into evil, and evil into good.
"Boss, what you’re talking about isn’t real traditional medicine, just self-proclaimed fraudsters!" A contemptuous smile appeared at the corner of Lin Tian’s mouth.
In the past, if someone told him traditional medicine was useless, he might have believed it easily, but the knowledge learned from the Tyrant Emperor’s Record completely changed that.
Though he had never attempted to treat anyone, Lin Tian had confidence that the legacy in the Tyrant Emperor’s Record could heal people.
"Alright then, I was just casually mentioning it; look how anxious you got!" Bai Shishi yawned: "I’m so tired, let’s go back and sleep!"
"Let’s go!" Lin Tian was also teary-eyed from exhaustion and overlooked asking who exactly Bai Shishi wanted to treat...
Since the Benz had hit someone and was towed to the police station, the two had no choice but to take a taxi.
Hailing a cab, Bai Shishi sat in the back seat first, and Lin Tian, suddenly feeling awkward, said, "It’s so late, maybe I should find a place to sleep by myself tonight!"
Lin Tian felt that going to a woman’s house late at night seemed a bit inappropriate.
"It’s late, where else can you go? Come on~ stay with me!" Bai Shishi said very innocently.
"Isn’t this bad?" Lin Tian scratched his head, his face flushed. Stay together~ He wanted to agree but also wanted to refuse, feeling so conflicted.
"Bro, are you a man or not? The lady’s already invited you to stay, what are you hesitating for?" The taxi driver couldn’t take it and rolled down his window to scold.
Bai Shishi initially felt it was nothing, but the taxi driver’s statement made her cheeks flush. How could the same words mean something so different coming from different mouths?
"But..." Lin Tian hesitated.
"Are you getting in or not? If not, I’ll take the lady!" The taxi driver yawned, seeing Lin Tian’s hesitation.
"Let’s go!" Lin Tian took a deep breath and sat in the front passenger seat while Bai Shishi looked out the window in the back seat without saying a word.
"Are you going to the Seven Days Inn or Home Inn? Or should we find a couple’s hotel?" With a single line, the taxi driver revealed his seasoned identity.
