Chapter 1284 - 1283

The restaurant manager thought for a moment and said, "Yes, call the police!"

This matter was clearly beyond his capability. This wasn’t an ordinary accident but a serious issue. The restaurant manager didn’t want to be held accountable. After all, even if he didn’t call the police, the other party would definitely report it, so it was better to call proactively to gain some trust.

Sure enough, seeing the restaurant manager taking the initiative to call the police, the customers felt somewhat relieved. If he dared to report to the police on his initiative, at least it showed he had some confidence.

After calling the police, the restaurant manager immediately contacted the owner by phone and reported the incident to him.

"What’s the matter with you guys? Is there really something wrong with your chicken soup?" The woman asked excitedly.

"Miss, please calm down. I’ve already informed our boss, who said he’d come over immediately and that I’ve reported it to the police. I believe the police will investigate the cause," the restaurant manager said with a forced smile, trying to soothe her.

The woman became more agitated: "If there’s a problem with your chicken soup, I want your restaurant shut down!"

The man was also emotional: "Exactly, my little sister was fine. I think it’s your problem!"

The restaurant manager was trembling.

Lin Fan was sitting at his seat, watching all this.

At this moment, Lin Fan saw a server carrying a dish and stopping halfway because they were influenced by this incident, not daring to serve the food.

Lin Fan gestured to the server, who then came over with the dish.

Lin Fan asked, "Is this mine?"

The server nodded, feeling a bit awkward because she was holding a bowl of chicken soup, which was the restaurant’s specialty. Lin Fan had asked for a signature dish, and the server took the liberty to serve him the chicken soup.

Lin Fan said, "Give it to me, thank you."

The server was a little surprised. There was a belief that the chicken soup might have caused death, yet Lin Fan dared to drink it?

She dared not say anything more and put down the soup.

The aroma was overwhelming.

Lin Fan took a spoon, had a sip, and praised, "It’s really tasty."

The server was dumbfounded, not knowing whether to call Lin Fan silly or too bold, knowing that there might be an issue with the chicken soup, and yet he still dared to drink it.

The server couldn’t help but remind him, "Sir, perhaps you shouldn’t drink it just yet..."

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Why not? Such delicious chicken soup should be enjoyed while hot."

The server hesitated and said, "I’m just afraid..."

Lin Fan said, "It’s fine. There’s no poison in your chicken soup."

The server didn’t know that Lin Fan possessed top-notch medical skill. He could basically determine with his naked eye if the chicken soup contained any poison.

The chicken soup not only had no poison but was also generously seasoned and well-cooked. No wonder this hundred-year-old restaurant had such good business.

The server was puzzled. How did Lin Fan know there was no problem with their chicken soup?

Meanwhile, the little girl on the other side had already fallen into a coma. The woman panic-stricken, shaking her with no response.

"Where’s the ambulance? Why hasn’t it arrived yet?" The woman screamed, while the elderly couple beside her was already crying anxiously.

The restaurant manager said, "The hospital is about six or seven kilometers from here, and even with the call, it’ll take at least ten minutes. Miss, please hold on. It’ll be here soon."

The woman shouted angrily, "You tell me not to panic. Look at my sister. How can I not panic? It’s all your fault. What kind of chicken soup are you making to harm people!"

The restaurant manager: "..."

He dared not say that their chicken soup was fine or not. Whatever he said might be wrong, so he decided to say nothing and wait for the owner and the police arrived.

Just as the girl’s family was as anxious as ants on a hot pan...

"Sorry, after hearing the manager talking about the distance to the hospital, I think I should say she might not make it until the doctor arrives."

A voice suddenly said.

Everyone turned towards the voice and saw Lin Fan standing up, walking towards the girl.

The woman heard him and anxiously said, "What did you say, handsome? Are you a doctor?"

Lin Fan said, "Yes, I am a doctor. If you don’t mind, let me help her."

The woman nodded excitedly, "Okay, doctor, please save my sister quickly."

Lin Fan walked over but was stopped by the man beside him.

"You say you’re a doctor? Show me your medical license. You don’t look like one," the man said with a doubtful face.

Lin Fan said, "Do you want to waste time and delay treatment, or do you want me to save her?"

Strictly speaking, he wasn’t a "doctor" because he didn’t have a practicing certificate, but he possessed unbeatable medical skills.

He just directly admitted he was a doctor to avoid arguing and wasting time, not expecting this man to argue with him anyway.

"Oh, get out of the way!" The woman was annoyed and pulled the man aside, giving him a hard look, showing strong dissatisfaction with his untimely behavior.

The man was dragged to the side, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes but quickly disappeared, and he said nothing more.

Lin Fan then walked to the little girl’s side, took her from the woman’s hands, and laid her flat on the ground.

Immediately, Lin Fan took out the silver needles and inserted them into the little girl’s acupoints, beginning to operate acupuncture to detoxify her.

"Chinese medicine?"

Everyone was surprised, not expecting Lin Fan to be a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, saving people with acupuncture.

This made everyone somewhat skeptical—was using silver needles to detoxify really reliable?

For a while, the bustling restaurant quieted down, and everyone watched Lin Fan’s rescue efforts. No one dared to speak, their expressions tense, especially the girl’s family, who were so nervous they could hardly breathe.

The elderly couple hugged each other, trembling with tears.

The man stared at Lin Fan, his expression somewhat complex.

The restaurant manager also clenched his hands together, silently praying that no matter why the girl was poisoned, Lin Fan must save her. If she died in their restaurant, it would cause huge trouble for them.

Perhaps only Lin Fan was not nervous. He calmly and unhurriedly proceeded with his acupuncture rescue.

Time passed without anyone noticing.

Outside, suddenly the sound of an ambulance siren was heard. The doctor had arrived!

Soon, a male doctor was seen coming in with a nurse.

"I heard there was poisoning here?" the male doctor asked.

The woman approached and said, "Yes, doctor, it’s my sister. But this handsome doctor is treating her."

The male doctor glanced at Lin Fan, then at the patient’s silver-needled body, his expression changed, and he said angrily, "Nonsense, is he a doctor? Stop immediately!"

The man chimed in, "That’s what I said earlier. I asked for his credentials, and he refused. I think he’s just a barefoot doctor."

The man’s words made the male doctor even angrier. He stared at Lin Fan and shouted, "We have professional doctors here now. Stop immediately! Can you handle delaying the treatment?"
