Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God Chapter 1428 - 1427
Previously on Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God...
Olisky and Thomas were both puzzled. Hadn’t the assistant just insisted that the visitors were reporters here to dig for news? How come in the blink of an eye he was saying they wanted to see them?
"Why?" Olisky asked.
The assistant said, "They know you have heart disease, and they also know you only have three months left to live."
"What?"
Olisky and Thomas were once again shocked.
Especially Thomas—he had just carefully examined Olisky before reaching that conclusion, and only the three people here knew it. There was absolutely no way it had been leaked.
How did the visitors know?
If it was just the fact that Olisky had heart disease, that might have gotten out, but the three‑month prognosis was something outsiders couldn’t possibly know.
So who on earth were these people?
Just now Olisky had listened to Thomas and decided to have the visitors driven away. Now all he wanted was to hurry up and meet these two.
Even if the other party couldn’t cure him, he still had to figure out how they knew he had heart disease, and how they knew he only had three months left.
Even if Thomas objected, Olisky was determined to meet Lin Fan.
"Daisy, go in person and bring them in through the back door," Olisky instructed the assistant.
"All right."
The assistant agreed, opened the door and went out, saying to security, "Take me to them."
At the entrance of City Hall.
By now it was already lively. Reporters had arrived at the entrance asking to interview the mayor. Seeing those reporters, the assistant didn’t even dare go out, and instead sent security to bring Lin Fan and Li Zixia to the back door.
The assistant went around to the back door and received Lin Fan and Li Zixia. Seeing that both of them were Asian, the assistant was quite surprised. In their country, Asians were still rarely seen, and the fact that they were here to treat the mayor’s illness made it even stranger.
"Please come with me," the assistant said, then led Lin Fan and Li Zixia to the mayor’s office.
Olisky and Thomas were already waiting in curiosity.
Seeing the two Asians, they were likewise a bit taken aback—and they were this young? Were they really doctors?
"Mr. Mayor, it’s an honor to meet you," Lin Fan said in very standard local language.
Olisky was even more surprised. He hadn’t expected Lin Fan’s local speech to be more standard than that of the locals. Had this young man already been living here for many years?
"Hello. May I ask what your names are?" Olisky asked.
Lin Fan said, "My surname is Lin, hers is Li. Mr. Mayor, I’m the one who’ll be treating you."
Olisky said, "How did you know what illness I have, and how did you know I only have three months left?"
Lin Fan said, "I could see it."
Olisky froze for a moment, not understanding what Lin Fan meant. "You could see it?"
Lin Fan said, "Yes, Mr. Mayor. We were fortunate enough to watch your speech at the square. At the time I noticed that you had heart disease. Through my careful observation, I saw that your condition had already deteriorated, and you only have three months left. So I decided to come over and treat you. I’ve heard you’re a good mayor; the people here shouldn’t lose a good mayor."
"You... you could ’see’ it?" Thomas stared wide‑eyed. If what Lin Fan said was true, that was too miraculous.
Lin Fan smiled. "Yes. In our Huaxia medicine, there are four methods of diagnosis: inspection, listening and smelling, inquiry, and palpation. Observing the complexion, listening to the breath, asking about symptoms, feeling the pulse—these are just our basic skills. What I used was the method of inspection."
With Lin Fan’s top‑tier Medical Skill, he could basically tell at a glance whether someone was sick or not.
When he saw Olisky in person at the square, he already knew things were in the bag. He knew that with Olisky’s physical condition, there was no way he could hold out without an attack. All Lin Fan had to do was patiently wait for the episode, and then he could come knocking.
Armed with precise information, Lin Fan wasn’t worried at all that Olisky would refuse to see him—unless Olisky didn’t want to live.
"You mean Huaxia Medical Skill?" Thomas said in surprise. "I have heard that in the ancient East there are miraculous healing arts, but I’ve never seen them. Are you from Huaxia?"
Lin Fan said, "That’s right."
Li Zixia was also very surprised at this moment, because she had only just learned that Lin Fan actually knew Medical Skill as well.
Olisky said in delight, "Mr. Lin, you really can cure my illness? Is your Huaxia Medical Skill truly that powerful?"
Thomas, however, said, "I greatly admire Mr. Lin’s method of observing illness; it is truly amazing to diagnose accurately with the naked eye alone, without any instruments. That really is remarkable. However... the ability to diagnose does not mean the ability to treat. The mayor is already in the late stage. As far as I know, there is no possibility left. Mr. Mayor, forgive my bluntness."
Hearing this, Olisky couldn’t help being rattled again, as though doused with a bucket of cold water. Thomas spoke so firmly; that couldn’t be fake, could it?
Lin Fan smiled faintly. "If you use Western medicine, of course there’s no saving you. But our Huaxia Medical Skill can. Mr. Mayor, there are reporters outside waiting to see you. If you can stand up on your own and go see them in high spirits, I believe all doubts will vanish on their own."
Olisky said happily, "You can make that happen?"
Lin Fan said, "That depends on whether you’re willing to let me treat you, Mr. Mayor."
Olisky was just about to agree.
Thomas stopped him, saying in a deep voice, "Mr. Mayor, please think twice. If he fails to cure you and instead kills you, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life—however short that is."
Lin Fan smiled. "It’s all right, Mr. Mayor. This requires your consent. If you’re unwilling to let me treat you, I’ll simply take my leave."
Olisky said hurriedly, "You’re too serious, Mr. Lin."
He glanced at Thomas and gave a bitter smile. "Do you think I still have any room for choice right now? If I can’t dispel the outside world’s doubts today, my position won’t be secure. That’s no different from being dead."
Right now Lin Fan had given him a ray of hope, and the only ray of hope at that. Aside from treating a dead horse as if it were alive, he truly had no options left.
Thomas still wanted to say something, but hearing what Olisky had said, things had already come to this point. He could only shut his mouth.
Olisky then said to Lin Fan, "Mr. Lin, I’ll be troubling you."
Lin Fan nodded, walked over, and took out three Silver Needles.
Seeing the fine, long Silver Needles flash with a silvery gleam, everyone present was shocked. Aside from Li Zixia, these Eastern Europeans had never seen such a thing.
Lin Fan explained, "Don’t worry, Mr. Mayor. These are tools for treatment. In our Huaxia, it’s called acupuncture. I’m going to use this Acupuncture Skill to treat you. Oh, and please help me prepare these medicines."
Lin Fan took a piece of paper out of his trouser pocket and handed it to Thomas. He had written this prescription on the way here. Since there were no Chinese herbs available, he had decided to use existing Western drugs as substitutes.
Thomas took the prescription and, seeing the long list of drugs, was a bit stunned.
At this moment the three fine, long Silver Needles were inserted one after another, landing on three vital acupoints on Olisky’s body, and Lin Fan immediately performed the Xuanmen Acupuncture Technique, beginning the treatment.
