Ten minutes later.
Lin Fan, who was idly in the clinic, suddenly heard a noisy commotion from outside.
"This is it."
"The door is open, he must be inside."
"Brothers, don't let that kid run, we won't let him off today!"
Lin Fan chuckled, "They've come quite quickly."
After the fat and thin duo fled earlier, he had guessed that more trouble would come his way today, so he had called Song Yue and told her and his sister-in-law not to come over today.
Bang!
A loud noise.
The door was kicked open.
The long-haired man scanned the room with a ferocious expression, his gaze finally landing on Lin Fan, and he shouted, "You're the one who beat my brother like this?"
A group of thugs filed in, placing Xiao Qiang, who had been on the door panel, in the center.
"If you don't give us an explanation today, I'll make sure this clinic can't be opened ever again!"
"Are you guys deliberately looking for trouble?"
Lin Fan stood proudly, not taking them seriously at all.
The long-haired man, with furrowed brows and glaring eyes, pointed at Xiao Qiang on the door panel and yelled, "Who the hell has the time to pick a fight with you? You beat him up like this, my brother is almost dead!"
"Exactly, the doctor killed someone!"
"Someone's dead!"
"A life for a life!"
"One life for one life!"
The group of thugs began to stir up a commotion.
Lin Fan glanced at Xiao Qiang, who lay motionless on the door panel.
Xiao Qiang's face was flushed, his breathing steady and light. It was clear he was asleep, not unconscious.
Judging by his complexion, there was some internal impact of qi and blood, likely due to external injuries.
Lin Fan was a little puzzled, "The kick I gave him shouldn't have been that strong?"
He looked at the long-haired man and snorted, "Since you say he's dying, then I'll bring him back to life now, is that acceptable?"
"Who would dare let you treat him?"
The long-haired man spat, "My brother just wanted to see a doctor. You refused and then resorted to violence. You must give us an explanation today, or we'll take matters into our own hands!"
Lin Fan chuckled, "Then what do you mean?"
The long-haired man extended a hand and snorted, "One hundred thousand yuan. I'll take my brother to a big hospital to see a doctor, otherwise, this matter won't end!"
"One hundred thousand?" Lin Fan frowned, "You have a lot of nerve!"
The long-haired man's eyes widened in anger as he glared at Lin Fan and roared, "One hundred thousand yuan for a life, is that too much?"
"If you don't pay, that's fine too. Brothers, smash this broken clinic of his!"
As the long-haired man finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the five or six people behind him immediately spread out, all appearing ready to fight.
"Who dares?"
Lin Fan's sharp shout made the ceiling tremble slightly.
The group of thugs was instantly stunned.
They hadn't believed Xiao Qiang when he said Lin Fan knew martial arts.
However, now, they were half-believing.
What normal person had such a loud voice?
The long-haired man took a deep breath and thought to himself, "So what if he knows martial arts!
"Even with martial arts, you can't fight so many people!"
Lin Fan was ready for a big fight, but at this moment, he heard the sound of a car braking outside, so he smiled and said, "I choose to make it public. If I am responsible, I will pay whatever compensation is due, and I won't owe a penny. If I have to take responsibility, I'm even willing to go to jail."
The long-haired man also heard the car braking outside and chuckled, "Heh, it's no use calling for help. I'm not afraid even if you call the police. Do you think hitting someone is justified?"
Just then, Tian Mengyao walked in.
She saw the scene in the room and was first stunned, then looked at Lin Fan and asked with a frown, "What's going on? Who are they?"
She was wearing a suit today, looking exceptionally heroic and spirited.
"Yo!"
"This chick is really beautiful!"
"Where did this little girl come from?"
The group of thugs looked at Tian Mengyao, their eyes almost popping out.
They had been feeling uneasy, fearing that Lin Fan's reinforcements would be a group of burly men.
To their surprise, it turned out to be a young and beautiful woman!
"Little sister, do you need something from big brother?"
The long-haired man winked and leered at Tian Mengyao a few times.
Tian Mengyao looked disgusted and said coldly, "If you dare smile at me like that again, I'll make sure you can't leave Luofeng Village!"
The long-haired man spat on the ground, "You're not old, but you have a big mouth. Tell me, how are you going to stop me from leaving this broken village?"
"It's simple!"
Lin Fan chimed in, "If our village Party secretary just shouts into the loudspeaker, Luofeng Village may be small, but we have eight or nine hundred people. If he says you can't leave, do you think it's a joke?"
"She's your village Party secretary?"
The long-haired man pointed at Tian Mengyao, his face full of disbelief.
Tian Mengyao raised her small face, "Genuine and not fake!"
The long-haired man chuckled, "Alright then, since you're the village Party secretary, you be the judge."
"The fake doctor in your village beat up my brother. What do you think about this matter?"
Tian Mengyao glanced at Xiao Qiang, who was lying on the door panel, and asked, "How was he beaten? I thought he fell himself. What evidence do you have?"
"You..."
The long-haired man was furious.
He really hadn't expected that such a young girl would be more unreasonable than him.
Was being the village Party secretary that impressive?
"Fine, I'll show you the evidence!"
As he spoke, the long-haired man squatted down and lifted Xiao Qiang's shirt.
Xiao Qiang's chest was bruised and swollen, the injuries clearly visible.
"What else do you have to say?"
The long-haired man turned back to look at Tian Mengyao and pointed at the overweight man again, saying, "And my brother here was also kicked by the fake doctor from your village."
The overweight man clutched his chest, feigning great pain.
Tian Mengyao instinctively looked at Lin Fan.
She absolutely did not believe that Lin Fan, who usually had a gentle disposition, would beat someone for no reason.
Lin Fan walked to her side and whispered, "They are deliberately looking for trouble to extort money."
Even without him saying it, Tian Mengyao had guessed most of it.
Tian Mengyao swept her gaze over the group of thugs, her eyes filled with contempt.
At their age, they should be married and settled, yet they were still engaged in such wicked deeds!
"Fine!"
Tian Mengyao took out her phone and said impatiently, "Lin Fan beat someone, right? Then I'll call the police right now and let them handle it as they should!"
The long-haired man's expression turned cold, and he threatened, "My brother is in a coma, at least seriously injured. If the police come, this fake doctor will be looking at five or six years in prison at least!"
Lin Fan chuckled and thought to himself, "You don't know how powerful our village Party secretary is!"
Seeing that Tian Mengyao was still dialing, the long-haired man felt something was wrong.
And Lin Fan looked calm, showing no fear at all.
Suddenly, the long-haired man remembered his early days when he had tried to extort money from a common domestic car, only to crash head-on into a steel plate.
Not only did he not get any money, but he was also sent to a labor camp for half a year.
