Chapter 535: Chapter 366 - Obviously Saying the Truth (First Update)_1

"Someone has poisoned you with a slow-acting poison. The dormant period must have lasted for at least ten years."

Again, this is a brutal truth.

Tsk tsk, Mu Lin wonders, who could be so patient to wait for such a long time?

Ten years is not a short time.

Zhou Jiansheng and Mei Qingyuan admit that they have never been this direct with a patient.

Especially the line, "you’re sick".

Both of them feel like facepalming. Sure, the patient knows he’s ill, that’s why he’s here. There’s nothing wrong with what Mu Lin said. But the way it was received by the patient was quite odd.

"What the hell are you talking about?" The man next to the elder stands up in extreme anger. He begins to scold Mu Lin, "Poisonous... you’re just trying to scare us. You’re planning to profit from our predicament!"

Considering this man’s stupidity, Mu Lin doesn’t really want to argue with him, but if she doesn’t, she feels like she’s losing face.

After all, even if she’s okay with losing her own face, she can’t let the reputation of the Military Hospital go down with her.

"Who are you?" Mu Lin casually raises her eyebrow, looking at the man in front of her with indifference. She sees that he’s angry enough to kill her and smirks, "I haven’t even finished speaking, yet you’re already trying to shut me up. Are you afraid that I’ll reveal the truth? You’re scared, aren’t you?"

Just now, Mu Lin noticed that when she mentioned slow-acting poison and dormant period, this man’s face showed expressions that shouldn’t have been there - stiff, fear, etc.

Trust her instincts, Mu Lin could tell - this man was problematic, very problematic.

With Mu Lin’s words, the man boldly steps forward and looks down at Mu Lin, holding his head up high, "I’m a family physician." He speaks as if his profession is something very extraordinary.

In reality, this man was merely a small assistant to the old man’s family doctor. At his age, still being an assistant is admittedly questionable.

She doesn’t really know where his sense of superiority comes from.

Hearing this, Mu Lin reveals a cold smirk. "You, a family doctor? You’ve gotta be kidding me. Please, I can’t bear to laugh anymore," her mockery was evident.

To be honest, from the moment she entered, she had never thought of this man as a doctor but merely a bootlicker.

Moreover, the kind of toadying type that only dares to bark using his master’s courage but doesn’t dare to bite.

How amazing! There’s no end to the wonders of the world.

"What do you mean by that?" The man wrathfully reacts.

Was this an insult?

Insult.

To Mu Lin, calling it an insult would flatter him as she was only stating the facts.

Listening to the man’s angry words, Mu Lin laughs softly and says, "Exactly what it means. It’s such a simple thing and yet you don’t understand. I seriously doubt your intellect here. Makes me wonder how you even got this job. Seems like your boss isn’t that insightful."

At this, the elder chuckles.

Why does he feel like Mu Lin’s last sentence was specifically meant for him?

However, this was the first time the elder had seen the man behave this way. Usually, he was very humble and serious. Today his house doctor was on leave, and he had sent the others on various tasks, so he had reluctantly agreed to bring him along.

Seeing the man’s present behavior, he feels like he made a mistake in his decision.

"You..." Frustrated and embarrassed, however, the elder doesn’t give him any more chance to speak. "Enough, Xia Ji," his authority reverberates through the words, silencing the man. "If you continue behaving like this, even out of respect for Old Mao, I wouldn’t keep you around me. There’s no room for bullies around me."

The man addressed as Xia Ji glares at Mu Lin without uttering a word.

Mu Lin glances at the elder and chuckles, "He’s extremely annoying, but you’re pretty decent, old man." Her nonchalant laughter cools the elder’s anger.

"It’s an honor to be complimented by you." This was the first time the elder met someone so straightforward, so refreshing, and strangely appealing.
