Chapter 622: If You Come Any Closer, I’ll Run
Chen Moxiang tilted his head and thought for a few seconds, then said, "There’s someone in our bureau from an ancient martial family, all the information I know comes from him."
"I’ve also asked him about the auction, I just know that the auction primarily deals with herbal medicine and prescriptions. They almost don’t ask for money, but if it’s a huge sum, they might consider it separately. Because they can use that big amount to buy some herbs elsewhere."
"Do you know where those herbs are kept for the auction? And the strength of the internal members of the auction?"
Chen Moxiang rolled his eyes, "How would I know that?"
"Aren’t you the captain of the Security Management Institute? I believe that kind of thing wouldn’t stump you." Lin Tian flattered him with a cheerful smile.
Even though he could directly ask Miaoqiu these things, who knows if that woman would trick him into taking part in the operation?
"Why are you asking about these things? I’m telling you, don’t get any funny ideas about those things, or I might not be able to save you." Chen Moxiang said very seriously.
"What could I possibly do? I’m just curious."
Lin Tian indeed wanted to join Miaoqiu’s operation after understanding these things. After all, that was Mei Ruyan’s father; no matter how much she hated him, he still needed saving.
"Bull, no three-year-old would believe that!"
"Nonsense, you can go find a three-year-old, they’d definitely believe it!"
"..." Could this person be any more shameless?
Chen Moxiang took a deep breath and said, "Don’t underestimate those ancient martial families. Many of their experts are part of the national forces, directly serving the country. And that auction isn’t entirely unrelated to the Security Institute; if you want to participate honestly, I’m all for it, but forget about any other thoughts. It’s too dangerous."
"What? It’s related to the Security Institute too?" Lin Tian was shocked. Anything involving the Security Institute always turned tricky.
"Of course! People from those ancient martial families are so powerful; if they didn’t serve the country, how could such potential threats exist? And it would be impossible for them to profit among the civilians."
Lin Tian closed his eyes and thought, if that’s the case, things just got even more complicated.
"The younger generation from ancient martial families often trains with the military. If you get too involved, you might make a lot of enemies. It’s deep waters here, best not to get sunk in it."
"I understand, I’ll think it over carefully." Lin Tian said seriously, his brow deeply furrowed. Miaoqiu, that vixen, was indeed hiding something from me!
"Alright, I won’t talk about this with you anymore. I’m going to take a shower, then I’m going to thoroughly enjoy myself for a few days, haven’t had a holiday for a long time." Chen Moxiang stretched as she spoke, her voice irresistibly charming, making Lin Tian’s mind wander.
"Do you need me to come over and give you a massage?"
"Sure, not to mention your massage skills are pretty good. But... I’m currently in Nanhai." After saying this, Chen Moxiang giggled.
Lin Tian felt a wave of bafflement. Isn’t this deliberately teasing me?
After chatting for a while, Lin Tian hung up the phone and remembered what Chen Moxiang had mentioned before about him making the news, suddenly feeling excited.
He opened a webpage and focused his eyes. He didn’t expect the first thing to pop up would be news about him, and it was on Celestial Dragon Continent People’s Network.
Lin Tian clicked it open and started skimming through it rapidly. He reads articles quickly, a habit from before the unified exams.
Scrolling down, he found it was all news about himself.
He clicked into an article from Celestial Dragon Continent News Network, and right on the homepage was a photo of him giving acupuncture to a patient today.
Seeing this handsome photo, Lin Tian brushed his bangs, thinking the photo was quite dashing, although it wasn’t as good as him in person.
He continued skimming down the article.
It only took him a few seconds to read it all without missing a word.
The article was full of praise and flowery language, making Lin Tian feel a bit embarrassed.
But it also let him see hope for reviving ancient medicine. If everyone read this article, they’d probably feel an urge to dive into the ancient medicine career.
This was probably what Mr. Zhao Xuefeng wanted to see, wasn’t it?
After browsing a few more reports, Lin Tian put aside his phone and had a comfortable nap.
The next morning, when the sun shone on Lin Tian’s bed through the window, he slowly woke up.
After a night’s adjustment, he could say he was full of energy, and the Spiritual Qi in his Sea of Qi was very abundant.
After washing up, Lin Tian went to the hotel restaurant arm in arm with Liou Qingcheng to have breakfast.
This hotel had been booked for the Medical Summit, so the diners inside were all familiar faces attending the summit.
When they saw Lin Tian, their expressions and eyes were a bit strange.
There was jealousy, envy, and even... admiration.
Everyone had different expressions. Of course, some people came up to make friends with Lin Tian.
He was no longer the young boy in high school; he mingled politely, showing a mature and steady demeanor that made Zhao Xuefeng quite gratified.
After breakfast, another busy day began.
It was still the same large courtyard, the same table, and the same apparatuses as yesterday.
But compared to yesterday, there was a big difference in the hospital.
There were more people, ten times more. Most of them were young, beautiful girls holding their phones and support banners, with striking words like ’Go Lin Tian hubby’ written on them.
There were also many guys who came to see Lin Tian, and when they saw him, they started cheering too, but there were so many people it was too noisy, so Lin Tian couldn’t hear clearly, likely something to cheer him on.
Besides these people, there were more cameras than yesterday; when Lin Tian arrived, all the cameras turned on to record his every move.
Additionally, there were more patients, some in wheelchairs, some with crutches, and some supported by family members.
Their eyes were full of expectations and some doubts. They didn’t know if Lin Tian was really as described in the news, a world-famous doctor, but they still hoped Lin Tian could take a look since it was a free clinic.
Lin Tian felt sweat on his forehead, feeling like a giant panda.
The next second, girls and boys, patients and journalists all rushed over like a peak surging forward.
Even though Lin Tian was a mid-level martial artist, seeing this scene made him jump in fright, quickly retreating a few steps.
"Don’t come over!" Lin Tian waved his hand and shouted, "If you come over, I’ll... I’ll run!"
