The morning sunlight streamed in through the window, Lin Fan opened his eyes and woke up, feeling the dazzling sunlight, and immediately felt something wasnāt right.
He overslept!
He had to return to Yun City today, and he also promised to treat Boss Fangās son, so he originally planned to get up early, but who knew heād oversleep.
Lin Fan picked up his phone and couldnāt help but smile bitterly, he had set an alarm, but it never rang. Itās understandable ā he hadnāt slept for two days and nights; he was too tired and accidentally slept right through it.
"Ding!"
"Todayās sign-in can begin now, would you like to sign in?"
"Ding!"
"Congratulations to the host for completing the sign-in, a 5 million cash reward has been credited, please check to receive..."
The system was repeating its usual automatic sign-in.
Lin Fan was used to it, treating it like background noise. He quickly got up and tidied himself up a bit, checked out at the front desk, and then left the hotel and drove towards the restaurant where he dined last night.
Luckily, the restaurant was there, it wouldnāt run away. He was late, which made him a bit embarrassed.
At the restaurant entrance.
Business hours had already started, Boss Fang was pacing at the door, looking forward eagerly, feeling anxious, he had arrived before dawn to wait for Lin Fan, just to ensure Lin Fan didnāt have to wait. But he came too early, and after waiting for a long time, still hadnāt seen Lin Fan arrive.
He regretted not keeping Lin Fanās contact information last night, and now couldnāt even call him.
The restaurant manager saw the boss sweating with anxiety and couldnāt help but come over to remind him, "Boss, itās almost nine oāclock, Mr. Lin might not be coming."
Boss Fang said, "Mr. Lin promised to come back, he shouldnāt cancel the appointment!"
The restaurant manager said, "Maybe Mr. Lin was delayed by something else, Boss, youāve been standing here for half the day, why not go back to the office and rest, and if Mr. Lin comes, Iāll inform you?"
Boss Fang said, "No, I need to wait here, I want to show my sincerity. Xiaoli, do you think I did anything disrespectful last night?"
The restaurant manager curiously asked, "Boss, what do you mean by that?"
Boss Fang said, "Maybe I did something poorly that made Mr. Lin unhappy, and thatās why he stood me up."
The restaurant manager quickly said, "I donāt think thereās anything wrong with you, Boss. If I were to guess, either the price wasnāt agreed upon or Mr. Lin had other matters."
Boss Fang said, "It couldnāt be the price issue. I told Mr. Lin Iād give everything I have as long as he could cure my sonās eye condition."
The restaurant manager said, "Then it must not be about the money. Judging by Mr. Linās attire, he seemed quite in need of money."
Just then, the sound of an engine roared, and an SUV came speeding.
Rolls-Royce!
Instantly drawing the attention of both of them.
They saw the Rolls-Royce drive up and stop right in front of their restaurant, then, the car door opened, and Lin Fan stepped out.
Seeing Lin Fan, the two were stunned.
"Did you just say Mr. Lin needed money?" Boss Fang asked.
The restaurant manager was dumbfounded, if driving a Rolls-Royce counts as needing money, then what counts as being rich? This Rolls-Royce costs several million; not even his boss could afford to buy one!
Lin Fan had already walked over, seeing Boss Fang, he apologized, "Iām sorry, Boss Fang, I overslept."
Boss Fang and the restaurant manager almost fainted, breaking into a cold sweat, after all that speculating, it turns out Lin Fan just overslept.
Boss Fang wiped his brow, laughed and said, "No problem, no problem, Iām immensely grateful Mr. Lin could come, you havenāt had breakfast yet, right? How about coming in and sitting down? Tell me what you want to eat, and Iāll have it arranged for you?"
Lin Fan said, "No need to be so polite, Boss Fang, lead the way please. After treating your son, Iāll be heading home."
Boss Fang didnāt want to delay Lin Fan, quickly replied, "Alright."
Boss Fang got into his own car to lead the way, with Lin Fan following behind, and they left.
The restaurant manager watched them leave, wiped his brow, truly, one canāt judge wealth by attire, what was he thinking? Mr. Linās medical skill is so superb, thereās no way heād be needing money. Being able to afford a Rolls-Royce, the fee for seeing him must be high, the boss is going to bleed a lot this time...
Letās speak of Lin Fan again; following Boss Fang, they drove for about ten minutes to a residential area and parked in front of a villa.
"Mr. Lin, please." Boss Fang politely guided Lin Fan and then led him into the villa.
Inside the villa, from a room came a shrill cry, a lad of seventeen or eighteen was sitting on the bed, with his eyes tied up with bandages, writhing his body, his hands being firmly held by a middle-aged woman.
"Iām so itchy, itās itchy and painful, Mom, let me scratch!" the lad shouted.
The middle-aged woman refused to let go, saying, "Baby, endure it a little longer, you canāt use your hands to scratch, youāll go blind!"
The lad said, "Iām in agony, why not just let me die!"
The middle-aged woman cried in distress, but still comforted, "Your dad went to get the doctor, baby, endure a bit more."
The lad cried, "Mom, stop lying to me, no doctor can save me, Iāve seen so many doctors, Mom, why not really just let me die, I canāt take it anymore!"
The middle-aged woman cried, "Baby donāt say that, saying that is killing me, endure a bit more, okay? Your dad said this doctor is very skilled."
The lad said, "Dadās just comforting you, he left early, and hasnāt come back yet, whereās this skilled doctor, Mom, let go, just let go!"
The middle-aged woman said, "I wonāt let go, son calm down, donāt think of doing anything stupid."
The lad said, "I wonāt do anything stupid, I promise you, Mom, I wonāt commit suicide, I just want to gouge out my eyeballs, theyāre no longer mine, theyāre causing chaos inside!"
The middle-aged woman was taken aback, "Son, what kind of nonsense are you talking about, donāt scare mom. Why hasnāt your dad come back yet, Iām going crazy with worry."
At this moment, the lad seemed to have reached the breaking point, madly struggling, yelling frantically, "Ah! Let go of me, let go of me!"
The terrified middle-aged woman desperately held down the lad, crying out in alarm.
She was about to lose control over the lad, who was about to break free and if he did, the consequences would be unimaginableāhe would surely start digging at his eyes.
At seventeen or eighteen, the lad was quite strong, especially in such a frenzied state, under his wild thrashing, the woman finally lost control, and he broke free.
The lad immediately reached out and grabbed at his eyes, his fingers forcefully inserted, blood began to seep through the white bandage.
This sight scared the middle-aged woman witless; if not stopped, her son would really gouge his eyes out.
Just at this critical moment, a figure flashed over, Lin Fan had entered, extending a hand to lightly tap the ladās head.
