"There, that's better."
Lin Fan said, throwing a punch.
Bang!
A thunderous noise.
The stool board, as thick as a thumb, instantly shattered into four pieces.
Teng teng teng...
Hu Jian stumbled backward, his face as pale as a ghost.
Was this still human?
Hu Jian couldn't imagine how much strength it would take to slice through a sturdy stool leg like cutting through vegetables. He couldn't even fathom a person being able to shatter a stool board with a single punch.
"I'm sorry, Principal, I'll definitely pay for it."
Lin Fan smiled slightly at the old principal, then turned to Hu Jian and asked deliberately, "Did I just hear someone talking about a duel with me?"
"You, you, you..."
Hu Jian was terribly frightened, his heart skipping a beat.
"You what?"
Lin Fan took a step forward, scaring Hu Jian into retreating repeatedly.
Thump!
He tripped over something and fell flat on his back.
"Ouch~"
Hu Jian cried out in pain, feeling a searing ache in his tailbone.
"Heh heh."
Jiang Hu Xue covered her mouth, unable to suppress a giggle.
Serves him right!
For being so overconfident and trying to cause trouble for Xiao Fan.
Doesn't he know his own limits?
"Pfft!"
The other teachers also chuckled.
Hu Jian's earlier aggressive posture stood in stark contrast to his current cowering one, which was truly amusing and made people want to laugh.
Lin Fan raised an eyebrow at Jiang Hu Xue, mouthing, "How was that, impressive, right?"
"Of course, who else could it be but the man I like."
They exchanged glances, completely disregarding Hu Jian, who was struggling on the ground, unable to get up.
"Xiao Fan, go check on Xiao Hu, what's wrong with him?"
The old principal, initially angered by Hu Jian's embarrassment, now felt concerned seeing him genuinely unable to stand.
"Huh?"
Lin Fan was taken aback.
"I, I'm fine."
In front of everyone, Hu Jian writhed like a turtle on its back, squirming and flailing his limbs, but he just couldn't get up.
He was anxious, humiliated, and angry, his face turning from red to white, then to blue.
Several teachers nearby went to help: "Director Hu, how are you?"
"Where are you hurt?"
As soon as they helped Hu Jian's upper body up, they heard a scream: "Ah!"
The teacher on the left was startled and instinctively let go.
Bang!
Hu Jian fell heavily to the ground. His face instantly turned ashen, and his eyelids slowly drooped.
"Director Hu!"
"Xiao Hu!"
The old principal felt that something was seriously wrong.
What was meant to be a benefit for all teachers had turned into such a disaster.
Although Hu Jian wasn't a great teacher and his character was questionable, he had an uncle who worked in the education bureau!
"Everyone, don't panic, don't move him."
Lin Fan spoke as he knelt beside Hu Jian.
"With Divine Doctor Lin here, he'll be alright."
The old principal whispered to himself, trying to comfort himself.
Lin Fan placed the medical kit on the ground. He first glanced at Hu Jian's complexion, then felt Hu Jian's cold hands.
"He's fainted. Western medicine calls it shock. He needs emergency treatment."
Opening the medical kit, Lin Fan took out three silver needles.
Everyone held their breath, staring intently at Lin Fan's movements.
He held a silver needle and, with fluid grace, pierced it into Hu Jian's fingertip.
Blood welled up, startling some of the more timid female teachers into turning their heads away.
Lin Fan worked quickly, puncturing the ten fingers of Hu Jian's hands in one go.
"The ten fingers of the hands are considered extraordinary points in the meridian system, also known as the 'Ten Active Points'."
To avoid misunderstanding and accusations of revenge, Lin Fan felt compelled to explain.
"Acupuncture at the Ten Active Points is a common emergency treatment in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Next..."
Lin Fan switched to another needle and, suppressing his revulsion, inserted it into Hu Jian's philtrum.
"Hmm?"
The needle was in, but the patient didn't wake.
Lin Fan was perplexed.
This shouldn't be happening!
"Xiao Fan, is he alright?"
The old principal asked.
"Let me take his pulse."
Lin Fan placed his hand on Hu Jian's wrist and activated his Divine Eye.
Through the Divine Eye, he saw that Hu Jian's eyeballs were moving slightly beneath his tightly closed eyelids.
Seeing this, Lin Fan became even more puzzled.
He's faking it!
Lin Fan didn't know if Hu Jian felt too embarrassed or was deliberately opposing him, pretending to be unconscious.
However...
Can you keep up the act?
Lin Fan looked at the old principal and said with a smile, "He's been stimulated, and his tailbone has a hairline fracture from the fall, but it's not serious. Acupuncture and some medication, with a period of rest, will help him recover."
"Oh."
The old principal sighed with relief, then asked, "Then why hasn't he woken up yet?"
"This..."
Lin Fan paused, then deliberately slowed his speech, saying, "Director Hu's pulse is fine and rapid, a 'submerged and flowing' pulse."
He stroked his chin, "A submerged and flowing pulse is a typical sign of kidney deficiency. Coupled with the faint dark color under his eyes, his dull lips, and weak, soft limbs, it's undoubtedly kidney deficiency caused by excessive sexual activity."
"You're talking nonsense!"
As expected, Hu Jian was furious. He no longer cared about his reputation in front of everyone and inadvertently confessed.
"Heh heh..."
A chorus of snickers erupted around them.
"Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, you know yourself."
Lin Fan said with a playful smirk, "The principles of medicine are universal. Go anywhere, and they'll tell you it's the same ailment."
"Principal, you see, he's awake now, isn't he?"
Lin Fan smiled triumphantly at the old principal.
"I... Principal, Lin Fan has ruined my reputation! He must apologize to me!"
Hu Jian angrily declared.
"Let's put that aside for now."
The old principal sighed.
At this point, the best course of action was to downplay the incident.
"Someone go to the infirmary and get a stretcher. Carry Xiao Hu to Xiao Fan's clinic for further treatment."
"I'm not going! I want to go to a proper hospital!"
Hu Jian shouted desperately.
Given his poor character, he was naturally afraid of Lin Fan retaliating.
"Alright, then you can go to a proper hospital."
The old principal waved his hand impatiently, not wanting to argue further.
Soon after.
Two male teachers returned with a stretcher and carefully lifted Hu Jian onto it.
"Be careful."
The old principal led the way, directing them.
Snap!
A soft sound.
A small, square packet fell out of Hu Jian's pocket.
"Director Hu, you dropped something."
A young female teacher with a long ponytail walked over and bent down to pick up the item from the ground.
"Oh my!"
But the next moment, she threw it away, her pretty face blushing like a ripe apple.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Hu Xue asked, thinking something had happened.
Lin Fan, with his sharp eyes, had seen what it was from the beginning.
What a coincidence!
He recognized the item.
Su Yu Rou's house had them.
Once, he had found a pile of peculiar items under Su Yu Rou's bed.
While his eyes were opened wide, his curiosity was also piqued, so he pressed the switch on one of them.
Then, hearing the commotion, Su Yu Rou kicked him under the bed.
And under the bed, he happened to see several identical small packets.
