Chu Zi looked at Lin Fan with a change in her eyes.
Before, she was always resentful. Even when Lin Fan promised to avenge the Black Witch Sect, her gaze only held a bit more gratitude at most.
After last night's events, a hard-to-describe feeling grew in her heart.
After breakfast, a piece of news came from the television.
"Suspect Wu Kai suddenly died last night. An autopsy revealed that his internal organs had mysteriously disappeared. The police are currently investigating thoroughly."
"Wu Family Electronics Factory has gone bankrupt. Boss Wu Tian, unable to bear the successive blows, hanged himself at home..."
Seeing this news, Zhang Qiang and Zhang Tingting hugged each other happily.
The siblings cried tears of joy.
Because everyone knew that Wu Kai would not be sentenced to death and would definitely seek revenge on them after his release from prison.
Now he had received his retribution, and Wu Tian was ruined along with him.
They could finally rest easy.
After two acupuncture treatments, Zhang Tingting's condition had greatly improved. With medication, her body should fully recover within half a month.
"Divine Doctor Lin, thank you for saving my brother and me! I belong to you from now on, and I'm willing to do anything for you..."
She couldn't think of a better way to repay him, so she started to undress.
Lin Fan quickly stopped her, "Absolutely not!"
Zhang Tingting's eyes welled up with tears, "Are you... disgusted with me?"
Lin Fan shook his head and smiled, "I don't like repaying kindness with obligation, nor do I want you to sacrifice your innocence for it. I hope you can find a man you truly love, and he loves you back."
Zhang Tingting was deeply touched, nodding heavily.
Luo Qiqi looked at Lin Fan strangely and reached out to touch his forehead, "You're not burning, why are you talking nonsense? Lin Fan, have you changed your ways? Or do you not like beautiful women anymore?"
"Get lost."
Lin Fan kicked her. He had clearly restrained his primal desires, yet this girl dared to slander him. It was unbearable!
Watching them bicker, Zhang Tingting laughed heartily, filled with envy.
Though reluctant to part, she had to say goodbye.
"Divine Doctor Lin, I want to try my luck in the city."
"You have ambition, I support you," Lin Fan said with a smile.
"Sister, Divine Doctor Lin, I..."
Zhang Qiang was torn, hesitating to speak.
Lin Fan could tell he wanted to follow him.
"Go with your sister. You two siblings can look out for each other."
After sending the siblings off, he thought about it and called Liu Qinghui.
He owed a lot to this old lecher for getting out of the police station so smoothly.
No matter what, he had to thank him.
"Old Lecher... ahem, Old Liu, how have you been? How is your health?"
Lin Fan almost blurted out what he was thinking.
Liu Qinghui laughed heartily and then asked, "Wu Kai is dead, you did it, didn't you?"
"Mr. Liu, you can eat anything, but you can't say anything. Don't make wild accusations."
Lin Fan felt depressed. This old lecher was a blockhead, who would admit to murder so casually?
After a few pleasantries, they hung up.
Liu Qinghui had arranged to visit Luofeng Village in three days. Besides medical treatment, he also wanted to explore the area's development potential.
Lin Fan was naturally welcoming. There was no reason to refuse such a generous benefactor coming to deliver money.
He spent the whole day busy at the clinic, his back aching from exhaustion.
Luo Qiqi remained lively, giving him massages every day.
Chu Zi, on the other hand, had become much quieter.
That night, Lin Fan dreamt of Ye Qingcheng again.
"Xiao Fan, you're here."
Mysterious white mist swirled around, the place resembling a palace.
Ye Qingcheng, dressed in a white veil, lay on a sofa.
Lin Fan wore a cold smile. Ever since he learned this dream was an illusion, he had been extremely cautious.
Especially after realizing Ye Qingcheng would enter the dream with him, he dared not be careless.
"I miss you so much, why haven't you visited me for so long?"
Ye Qingcheng stood up, the veil falling to the floor.
Lin Fan looked at her alluring and charming appearance, suddenly thinking of the cold and aloof Ye Qingcheng in reality.
Could this woman have a split personality, specifically seducing handsome men at night to absorb their yang energy?
"We met at Jinhu Island a few days ago. It hasn't been that long, has it?"
Strangely, Ye Qingcheng in reality, despite her cold and proud personality, was at least a living person with a warm body.
But Ye Qingcheng in the dream was different, icy cold, like a living corpse.
"Jinhu Island..."
A cold glint flashed in Ye Qingcheng's eyes, and her expression turned fierce for a moment, but then it returned to normal.
Lin Fan chuckled. This woman was quite sinister, and it was best to be cautious, lest he lose his life carelessly.
He walked around the palace.
It was vast, sumptuously decorated, and extremely luxurious.
This was a stark contrast to the minimalist style of Villa Number 3.
The palace had three floors, and they were currently in the first-floor living room.
Lin Fan wanted to go upstairs but found there were no stairs.
Mysterious white mist permeated the upper levels, making it impossible to see anything.
The upper and lower floors seemed like two different dimensions.
Connected, yet inaccessible.
A flash of inspiration struck Lin Fan. This "Jing Hua Shui Yue" (Mirror Flower Water Moon) was not a mere dream, but an independent space between reality and illusion.
The caster must have a grand conspiracy in pulling himself and Ye Qingcheng into this space!
"Xiao Fan, wake up! If you sleep any longer, it'll be dark again!"
Xia Xue shook Lin Fan's body with great concern.
"Mmm~"
Lin Fan slowly opened his eyes and sat up with his sister-in-law's help.
Outside, the sun was already high, around noon.
"I slept for so long?"
Lin Fan was incredibly surprised. Calculating the time, he had spent fifteen to sixteen hours in the dream!
"Lulu is here and is helping Chu Zi treat patients at the clinic. She said she has something to tell you. Get up and eat something before you go."
Xia Xue gently kissed his cheek, "I'll go do some work now."
Lin Fan got up, dressed, and washed up briefly.
There were some delicious dishes on the table. He ate a few mouthfuls haphazardly and then headed to the clinic.
Chu Zi, originally from the Witch Sect, although her medical skills were not as good as Lin Fan's, she could still treat simple ailments.
Plus, she had learned a lot by his side these days.
So, when Lin Fan was away, Chu Zi acted as the physician.
"Xiao Fan is here!"
"Xiao Fan, you should rest well. Miss Chu's medical skills are also excellent, and we all trust her."
The villagers greeted Lin Fan with smiles.
Lin Fan nodded and greeted them one by one, then walked into the clinic.
Gao Lu was diligently recording each person's condition and dispensing and administering medication according to Chu Zi's instructions.
"Lulu, you needed to see me?" Lin Fan asked.
"Can't I see you if I don't need anything?" Gao Lu rolled her eyes.
