"We are all friends, why be so distant," Xiao Qi said. "With him here, it shouldn't be a problem!"
Lu Fan looked at Chu Guodong. Yang Xiaofei's back was covered in silver needles, but not a single one was placed correctly, causing him to frown. "Could this person be a doctor?"
"That's right!" Chu Guodong nodded. "You can call me Dr. Chu!"
As Chu Guodong inserted the needles, his expression grew even more serene, his words carrying a hint of arrogance.
"This needlework is chaotic and serves no purpose," Lu Fan stated directly. "What is the purpose of your needling method?"
"Who is this reckless young man, daring to question me?" Chu Guodong's face darkened. "Haven't you heard of my Chu family's reputation!"
"Even if the Chu family is a lineage of physicians, you shouldn't just randomly insert needles," Lu Fan said coldly. "Otherwise, you might end up killing someone!"
"Ridiculous. I am here to treat the patient, not to cause death," Chu Guodong retorted coldly. "You, young brat, came in and said I was needling randomly. You must give me an explanation today!"
"Dr. Chu, please don't be angry," Director Liu quickly said. "This is Mr. Lu, he also understands medicine and has some status!"
"What if he has status?" Chu Guodong said coldly. "If he's wrong, he's wrong. If he apologizes to me, I won't pursue it!"
Lu Fan ignored him and walked towards Yang Xiaofei, preparing to remove the silver needles. This acupuncture method was causing great harm to Yang Xiaofei, which was why Lu Fan had made such a fuss.
"Ignorant brat!" Chu Guodong said coldly and struck at Lu Fan with his palm, imbued with a subtle internal force.
Lu Fan was slightly surprised. For a mere physician to possess such skill was unexpected. However, Lu Fan did not dodge and continued directly towards Yang Xiaofei.
With a muffled grunt, Chu Guodong staggered, nearly falling to the ground, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. Lu Fan had not even turned his head throughout the entire encounter.
"Who exactly are you, to be able to push me back with internal force?" Chu Guodong questioned.
Lu Fan did not reply. After removing the silver needles from Yang Xiaofei, he finally spoke, "Have you found any clues these past few days? I told you long ago that this is not an ordinary illness, but someone is trying to harm you."
"Everyone has been investigated!" Yang Xiaofei said helplessly. "But there is no evidence, and I don't know who is behind it!"
"Since that is the case, I will first expel the toxic gas from your body."
Lu Fan stated this and took out his silver needles, inserting them into several of Yang Xiaofei's acupoints. He paid no attention to Chu Guodong throughout the process.
"Dr. Chu, please don't be angry!" Director Liu said repeatedly. "I will definitely double the consultation fee!"
"Hmph!" Chu Guodong snorted coldly. "Today, I want to see what skills he possesses!"
Despite his dismissive words, Chu Guodong knew that Lu Fan was no ordinary person, otherwise, he wouldn't understand internal force.
After a long while, Yang Xiaofei suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood, and her complexion improved significantly.
Director Liu beamed with joy. As expected, Lu Fan's medical skills were extraordinary. Chu Guodong had been treating her for so long without any sign of improvement, yet Lu Fan's personal intervention yielded significant results.
"The toxins in your body have been expelled!" Lu Fan announced. "However, we must find out who administered the poison as soon as possible!"
"Thank you, Mr. Lu!" Yang Xiaofei nodded. "It's not important anymore. Although the toxins have been cleared and my life is saved, the scar on my face can never be removed. I can only retire from the entertainment industry!"
"Xiaofei, don't be too sad," Sister Li said. "After all, life is unpredictable!"
Yang Xiaofei gave a bitter smile. To achieve success, she had worked extremely hard, relying not only on her looks but also on her doubled efforts to reach her current achievements. Unfortunately, a sudden incident had shattered it all.
"I can help you with the scar," Lu Fan said directly. "Don't worry too much. It's not impossible to restore it to its original state!"
"Are you serious, Mr. Lu?" Yang Xiaofei was startled. "If that's true, then Mr. Lu is my benefactor!"
Chu Guodong stood aside, as if he were air, appearing quite embarrassed. He was a divine doctor from the Divine Doctor's Hall, capable of curing all sorts of difficult and complicated diseases. He never expected to be outdone by Lu Fan.
"If Lu Fan says he can cure it, it will definitely get better!" Xiao Qi exclaimed. "You don't need to worry too much. The most important thing now is to find the person behind this!"
"That's right!" Director Liu nodded. "We must catch the traitor. Who did this!"
"How truly vicious. If it weren't for Mr. Lu, Xiao Fei's face would have been ruined," Sister Li said quickly. "This matter must be investigated thoroughly."
"Director Liu, gather everyone from the crew. I'll know with a glance," Lu Fan stated. "That kind of poison is quite rare. If anyone has come into contact with it, they won't be able to hide it!"
"Mr. Lu has such abilities?" Sister Li looked at Lu Fan.
Lu Fan paid her no mind, not feeling any particular affinity for Sister Li.
"Dr. Chu, this is the consultation fee for the past few days!" Yang Xiaofei handed over a bank card. "I won't need your services anymore."
"Hmph!" Chu Guodong snorted coldly. "This kid has some skill, but he's too arrogant. Miss Yang switching doctors midway is disrespectful!"
With that, Chu Guodong turned and left. As a divine doctor from the Divine Doctor's Hall, he was no ordinary person and expected to be respected wherever he went.
Being upstaged by Lu Fan made him feel extremely uncomfortable. If he hadn't been at a loss, he wouldn't have needled randomly earlier, but unfortunately, Lu Fan had caught him in the act.
Seeing Chu Guodong leave, Director Liu felt a bit worried. This was a divine doctor from the Divine Doctor's Hall, a place renowned throughout the country, attracting many medical experts. He was just a small director and dared not offend them.
A while later, the crew members were summoned to a conference room. There were nearly forty to fifty people, each responsible for different tasks, including many artists.
"Mr. Lu, is there any way?"
Yang Xiaofei asked, "Who wanted to harm me!"
"Don't rush!" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "Is there anyone else who hasn't come?"
"Xiao Hong is feeling unwell, so he didn't come," Sister Li said. "He and Xiao Fei are close, so it's definitely not him."
"That's right, I believe Xiao Hong!" Yang Xiaofei nodded. "He wouldn't harm me."
"I said earlier that everyone from the crew must be present!"
Lu Fan's voice was indifferent, but it was unrefusable.
Director Liu nodded solemnly and personally went to Xiao Hong's room.
Sister Li frowned, her face showing signs of nervousness.
"You can know a person's face but not their heart, especially in the entertainment industry. You can't trust anyone too much," Xiao Qi said. "Perhaps it was Xiao Hong who did it!"
"Without evidence, don't speak carelessly. Otherwise, it will cause disunity and the crew won't be able to continue," Sister Li said coldly.
