Chapter 165 had already made a backup plan.
Chapter 165 had already made a backup plan.
Xia Mo looked at Lin Chengzhi and said directly, "Young Master Lin Chengzhi, don't you agree?"
Lin Chengzhi panicked for a moment, but then pretended to be confused: "I don't know what nonsense you're talking about, Doctor Yang's apprentice."
"Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, there's no doubt that I have the evidence. Do you want me to produce the evidence?" Xia Mochong gave Lin Chengzhi a half-smile.
Lin Chengzhi's heart skipped a beat again. He was surprised and worried that Xia Mo might actually be able to produce evidence. If Xia Mo didn't have any evidence, how could she dare to be so presumptuous?
Doctor Chen also shut up. He didn't want to expose himself. He still had to practice medicine. As a doctor, he didn't want to ruin himself for a few dollars.
The old doctor Chen, who had been deliberately questioning Lin Fengzhi, has quieted down.
"What's wrong with you?" Official Zhang pointed at Lin Fengzhi and pressed him for an answer. He naturally didn't want to lose an excellent doctor. Doctors may seem like a lowly profession, but they are extremely important.
Xia Mo opened the medicine box, took out a damp face towel, and handed it to Lin Fengzhi.
Lin Fengzhi accepted it without understanding why.
"Wipe off the disguise on your face," Xia Mo suggested.
Lin Fengzhi's mind went blank; he did whatever Xia Mo said.
Lin Fengzhi wiped off his disguise, and Old Master Lin recognized him.
Old Master Lin's lips twitched and he said, "This is a family matter of my Lin family. His name is Lin Fengzhi, and he is also a member of my Lin family. After the medicine competition is over, my Lin family will handle this matter ourselves."
Old Master Lin was already reflecting on whether he had been too lenient by only crippling Lin Fengzhi's hands. Otherwise, why would he have let Lin Fengzhi stand in front of him?
Lin Fengzhi wiped off his disguise, and more people recognized him.
"It's Dr. Kobayashi!"
"It's the real Dr. Kobayashi!"
"..."
This statement was somewhat puzzling, but Lin Fengzhi understood it after a moment's thought.
Lin Fengzhi's hard-earned reputation was also stolen by Lin Chengzhi!
"What's going on?!" Official Zhang, who was sent from the state government, was completely unaware of the situation and looked at the retired judge beside him, demanding an answer.
The retired judge, who had met Lin Fengzhi before, said, "He is indeed Dr. Lin."
“He’s not Dr. Kobayashi anymore,” Xia Mo shouted.
“I picked him up from the dilapidated temple. When I brought him back, his arms and legs were broken, and he was on the verge of death! He was unconscious!” Xia Mo’s voice was not loud, but everyone in the village could hear it clearly.
"What's going on?!"
The retired old man looked at Old Master Lin, hoping to get an answer from him.
Old Master Lin said, "Lin Fengzhi's matter is a family matter, and it's not up to others to say anything. I'll explain it to you in private."
The retired old man frowned, his brows furrowed.
"This is no longer a family matter. When you crippled my hands and kicked me out of the Lin family, I was no longer a member of the Lin family!" Lin Fengzhi shouted loudly, his throat dry and hoarse, with a hint of crying in his voice.
The grief and resentment that had been building up in Lin Feng's heart was about to overwhelm him and suffocate him.
"The Lin family raised you! You should be grateful!" Master Lin stepped forward and loudly reprimanded Lin Fengzhi.
“When you crippled his hands and feet, he had already repaid his debt of gratitude,” Xia Mo interjected again, loudly repeating the same words.
"Lin Fengzhi!" Master Lin glared at Xia Mo and scolded Lin Fengzhi.
Lin Fengzhi roared, "You crippled my limbs and threw me into a dilapidated temple. I have already repaid the debt of gratitude I owed the Lin family for raising me! My name is now Yang Jianxin!"
Grandpa Lin said softly to Official Zhang and the retired homeowner judge, "How about this: after the competition, let me take care of my family matters first, and then we'll give you an answer?"
“This is not a family matter! Doctor Yang Jianxin has nothing to do with your Lin family anymore! Didn’t you hear me? Even her name has been changed,” Xia Mo emphasized again in a boy’s voice.
Why do these people love to talk to themselves so much?
Official Zhang stared at Lin Fengzhi and asked, "Are you willing to let me know what happened?"
If Lin Fengzhi also considers it a family matter, then they won't pursue the matter further.
“Okay,” Lin Fengzhi nodded and recounted how he was driven out of the Lin family, how his limbs were crippled, and how he was abandoned in a dilapidated temple.
Xia Mo also deliberately amplified Lin Fengzhi's voice with her divine sense so that everyone present could hear it clearly.
After listening, Official Zhang nodded, looked at the retired judge, and said, "Your Honor, I've heard you say that you admire a young doctor from the Lin family. Is that young doctor him?"
When Zhang, the official, spoke, he pointed at Lin Fengzhi.
The retired senior physician nodded and said, "I have already written a letter of recommendation to the Imperial Medical Academy this time, intending to recommend him for a position there."
Official Zhang nodded, "Old Master Lin."
At this moment, no one present felt that Lin Fengzhi's matter was a family affair of the Lin family, but...
Old Master Lin brought up their old friendship.
"Isn't there something else we need to discuss?" Old Master Lin decided to use that matter now.
Upon hearing this, Official Zhang shut up.
Previously, Old Master Lin had saved the elderly mother of Official Zhang and said he would repay the favor. If Old Master Lin used this favor for this matter, then he could only pretend he hadn't seen Lin Fengzhi's actions.
Old Master Lin gave Lin Chengzhi a reassuring look, then turned to the retired judge: "Old Shu, do you think... we can talk about it later?"
The judge from the retirement home frowned, saying that the term "Old Bookman" was a way of using old friendships.
Thinking of the kindness shown to him in the past, the retired home judge chose to remain silent.
It seemed that Lin Fengzhi's change of identity was about to be covered up!
"Lin Fengzhi participated in the competition using Yang Jianxin's identity, which doesn't count. His first place is canceled, is that alright?" Old Master Lin looked at Official Zhang and the retired judge.
Thinking of their past kindness, the two chose to remain silent.
As for the other doctors present, even the most respected ones, if they had opinions or objections, Old Master Lin didn't take them too seriously.
Lin Fengzhi couldn't believe it: "I won first place with my own strength, how can you just cancel it like that?!"
"Your medical skills were learned from the Lin family," said Old Master Lin.
"I……"
"No, Dr. Yang's medical skills in treating this illness have nothing to do with your Lin family. If your Lin family had that ability, they would have cured patients with tuberculosis and other diseases long ago," Xia Mo mocked.
Lin Fengzhi nodded vigorously: "The medical skills and prescriptions I use to treat patients are all newly learned!"
Old Master Lin glanced at Lin Fengzhi with disdain. Now, those who opposed him could not change the facts, and those who could oppose him remained silent out of gratitude.
What kind of trouble can Lin Fengzhi stir up on his own?
That is, at this moment—
"Grandpa, Grandpa..."
A servant rushed into the courtyard in a panic and fell to his knees in front of Old Master Lin.
"What kind of behavior is this, all flustered and disrespectful!"
"It's General Jiang, one of King Jiang's subordinates. He heard about this medicine competition and came to check it out. He's already at the door!"
Huangfu Qian and Xia Mo had long anticipated that the Lin family would be shameless, and naturally, they had already made their next move.
