Chapter 103
In the room, there was silence.
Lin Ran sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette for the first time, he didn’t smoke at all before, but the many things that had happened recently had left him clueless and his mind was really a little irritated.
“You said this bead is called the Devil Devouring Bead, what exactly is it for?”
Song Nuan had changed into a set of pajamas at this time, and her clear appearance was unbelievably beautiful against the backdrop of her crisp pajamas.
“It’s for devouring essence!”
Lin Ran puffed on his cigarette and blandly returned.
This kind of devouring demon bead was very rare, even in the feng shui line, and only some evil feng shui masters would use it to achieve certain goals.
“If you put this kind of bead near the target person, it will gradually suck the essence from the person’s body, because the amount absorbed is very small it usually won’t affect the target, but if the essence is sucked for a long time, the person’s body resistance will drop and many minor illnesses will be enough to kill them!”
Lin Ran explained, Song Nuan was startled at his words and hurriedly threw the beads aside and said.
“Wouldn’t that be the same as AIDS!”
“Sort of!”
Lin Ran threw away the butt of his cigarette, found a gla*s and put the beads in it, before shaking it with force and infusing it with true qi, directly shattering the beads in the gla*s.
“This thing is getting weirder and we have to be more careful!”
Lin Ran said with a frown.
Song Nuan nodded worriedly, she understood that it was herself that the other party was after, Lin Ran was merely trying to protect himself, but now it was dragging him into it as well.
Lin Ran did not think so much about it, at this moment he felt as if the whole thing was a bureau, from the appearance of three of the five poisons, to the discovery of the devil devouring pearl now, it seemed to be one ring after another, he did not know what the other party intended to do, but the current situation was not optimistic.
“Go to sleep, soldiers will come, water will come, there is always a way out!”
Lin Ran said.
Song Nuan nodded at his words and then destroyed his room.
But this night was destined to be sleepless for both of them, I’m afraid that any other person would not be able to sleep in peace, there was a person hiding in the darkness, always watching, Song Nuan did not go crazy, it was already a very good performance.
The next morning, Lin Ran sent Song Nuan off to school before coming to the hospital himself.
The work of the hospital was going on in an orderly manner. Many of the patients initially came here because of Lin Ran’s name as a miracle doctor, but when they found out that Lin Ran was often absent and that Li Zheng was treating them well, they all stayed to see the doctor.
Nowadays, Tamkang Hospital is not what it used to be. Not only is the reputation of Tamkang Hospital well known, but also the reputation of the Chinese Medicine Department of Tamkang Hospital is not weak at all.
It was just that everyone knew that the little miracle doctor was very busy, and it was very difficult to get him to see patients personally.
Lin Ran stayed in his office, his mind still thinking about what happened last night, he always felt that there was a connection between this devil devouring pearl and the five poisons, but he couldn’t figure out where the connection point was.
“It’s better to confirm it first!”
Lin Ran thought this, picked up the phone and dialed out.
“Hey, Little Divine Doctor, you’ve finally taken the initiative to find me, what is it, just say I’ll do it for you!”
When he received Lin Ran’s call, he knew that something must be wrong, so he naturally boasted first.
“I want to meet Li Wansan’s father, please help me arrange it!”
Lin Ran said.
“Okay, no problem, I’ll come to the hospital to find you!”
Luo Cheng said and hung up the phone straight away.
Lin Ran then packed up and went straight to the entrance of the hospital to wait.
Whether this Devil Devouring Pearl was related to the Five Poisons or not, one test would tell.
The five poisons appeared in Song Nuan, Li Wan San’s father Li Tang, and Xiao Nan respectively. The devouring demon pearl was found in Song Nuan’s house, and if it was also found in the other two people’s houses, then it was enough to confirm that this devouring demon pearl was definitely related to the five poisons, which was why Lin Ran had to go to Li Wan San’s house.
Luo Cheng soon arrived at the entrance of the hospital in his pull-out Phantom, this kind of car was so luxurious that it attracted quite a few people to look around.
Lin Ran had no choice but to get into the car with a stiff upper lip.
“You don’t have to drive such a nice car even if you go out!”
Lin Ran was a bit helpless.
“Haha, this car usually does not drive, this is not you looking for me, I only deliberately drive out!”
Luo Cheng didn’t hide it and said with a smile.
Lin Ran smiled and became even more helpless, daring to say that it was because of himself, this Luo Cheng really looked up to himself.
“By the way, has Li Wansan been contacted yet?”
Lin Ran opened his mouth and asked.
Luo Cheng made a gesture of rea*surance and laughed.
“Don’t worry about my work, Lao San has already been contacted, but this fellow is not at home right now, saying that he will be attending an auction later, it seems to be for medicinal herbs!”
“What about his father? We can go straight to his house!”
Lin Ran said, Li Wan San’s father, Li Tang, and his home was his destination.
“No, his old man is also going, this guy is recovering well, he’s suffocating at home, he’s following along today to join the fun, there’s no one at home at all!
Luo Cheng said.
“Then where are we going now?”
Li Ran was completely speechless, Li Tang’s house was empty, this guy still came to pick himself up where to go?
Luo Cheng “hehehe!” A smile, mysteriously said.
“Of course we’re going to find them, I’ve asked the auction will end soon, there are only five lots, we’ll go find them first, and as soon as the auction ends, we’ll go straight to his house.”
Lin Ran smiled helplessly, but when he thought about it, he was relieved, attending an auction was fine, just think of it as an eye-opener, and it was an auction for medicinal herbs, it was good to go and have a look.
The two of them sped all the way to the Wanding Auction Building in the city centre in just over ten minutes.
The Wanding Auction Building was very famous and was the largest auction house in Tanjiang City. Of course, there was no way to compare the total a*sets with Luo’s, but in terms of the entire ranking industry, it was definitely at the leading level.
“Come on, let’s go in.”
Under the leadership of Luo Cheng, the two of them quickly arrived at the twelfth floor.
However, as soon as the two of them stepped out of the lift, they were shocked and could not help but be taken aback, only to see that this originally very wide hall was actually packed with people, many of whom were standing and only a few of them were sitting.
“That’s right, those who came to participate in the auction to buy medicine, I’m afraid that their families are not bad, so many people actually bidding are only those who are sitting, while the rest of those who are standing are obviously bodyguards and other accompanying people.
“Come on, over there.”
Luo Cheng greeted with a smile, and Lin Ran just allowed Ben to go over with Luo Cheng.
Suddenly, at the doorway, another group of people came in, and very coincidentally, one of the young men who was surrounded by the crowd was actually someone he knew.
It was none other than the rich young man, Liu Xuan, whom he had met at the old man’s rehabilitation banquet.
At the beginning, this guy had been encouraged by Bai Cheng to find himself in trouble, only to be severely beaten in the face by himself, but he had never expected to run into him again here today.
Chapter 104
“Hey hey, do you know this person? His name is Liu Xuan, he is the future successor of the Liu family, this Liu family is about the same strength as our family, this kid keeps climbing with me again!”
Luo Cheng also saw Liu Xuan and lowered his voice and said in Lin Ran’s ear.
Lin Ran nodded, he didn’t have a good feeling about this Liu Xuan, but it was a bit surprising for him to bump into him here today.
Just as they were talking, Liu Xuan also saw Luo Cheng, while Lin Ran happened to be in the path of a man who did not see him.
Upon seeing Luo Cheng, Liu Xuan could not help but smile at once, and immediately walked over towards this side, while laughing aloud.
“Yo, isn’t this the Luo family grandson, why is he interested in coming to this kind of place to play when he’s not studying business properly at the company? Has he been given up by your Luo family?”
“Put you ….”
Luo Cheng just wanted to retort, but saw that beside Liu Xuan, a middle-aged man and an old man followed together, the words that reached his mouth only had to be forcibly swallowed back, and then said.
“You fart, I came here to find a friend, that is like you every day just know how to play!”
After the words were finished, Liu Xuan and the three of them had already arrived in front of Luo Cheng.
Seeing that Lin Ran was actually there, Liu Xuan’s face was instantly ice-cold, last time it was this kid who made himself lose face, I didn’t expect to actually run into him here again today.
“Uncle Liu, I didn’t expect you to be here too!”
Luo Cheng didn’t bother to pay attention to Liu Xuan, turning to look at the middle-aged man beside the latter and arching his hand and smiling.
“Haha, Xiao Cheng, I didn’t expect to run into you here, why didn’t you give me a greeting in advance if you were coming over to play, there are good things reserved for you too!”
The middle-aged man laughed, his name was Liu Dingtian, he was none other than Liu Xuan’s father, the head of another leading business family in Tamagawa City.
In Tanjiang City, Liu’s family and Luo’s family did not want to go up and down, but the latter mainly elite real estate, and restaurant chain category, while the former is mainly operating real estate and pawnshop category, so except in the real estate piece, other aspects are not in direct conflict, so the relationship is not bad.
In particular, Liu Dingtian and Luo Ming, but also a kind of sympathetic feeling, the two often get together to drink and chat, the relationship is very good.
On the contrary, the two juniors, Luo Cheng and Liu Xuan, had a less than good relationship.
“Uncle Liu is kind, I’m just here to find a friend today!”
Luo Cheng laughed.
“Looking for a friend? Haha, is it hard to find this one beside you?”
Liu Xuan smiled at his words but laughed.
“What, you know this one beside me?”
Luo Cheng frowned slightly, Lin Ran was the one he was desperately trying to bring in, he didn’t want to see that Lin Ran and Liu Xuan still had any friendships.
“I know him, the last time your grandfather recovered from the banquet, you weren’t there, this Liu Xuan brother I’ve met!”
Lin Ran opened his mouth and smiled.
Luo Cheng’s heart sank at his words, last time he had just finished his surgery and was recuperating, so he didn’t go to his grandfather’s recovery banquet, he didn’t expect Liu Xuan to actually take advantage of the situation at this time.
“Unbridled!”
Just as Luo Cheng’s mind was thinking of how to stubbornly cement his relationship with Lin Ran, Liu Xuan was the one who suddenly spoke up.
Hearing Liu Xuan’s words, Luo Cheng’s heart could not help but feel relieved, it seemed that he had thought too much, the way Liu Xuan treated Lin Ran, it was obvious that the relationship between the two was not good.
“What’s your status, calling me brother, are you worthy?”
Liu Xuan’s face showed disdain, he had a grudge against Lin Ran for what happened last time, he naturally wouldn’t miss the chance to hit him in the face.
“Xuan’er, how can you talk!”
Liu Dingtian’s face sank as he opened his mouth to scold.
“Father, you don’t know how dirty this man is, he has a lot of heart!”
Liu Xuan said, seeing that his father didn’t quite believe him, he continued.
“His name is Lin Ran, he’s just a graduate from Tamkang University, and he comes from the countryside, his family is very poor, but it’s this kind of origin, he first sat as the head of the Chinese medicine department of Tamkang Hospital, and later he even befriended Uncle Luo Ming, this kind of person’s city is frighteningly high!”
Liu Xuan said it as if there was really something to it.
Lin Ran, however, laughed as he listened.
“Haha, brother Liu Xuan is really concerned about my affairs, it seems that the last blow made you remember me in your heart, you even sent someone to investigate everything about me on purpose!”
“Liu Xuan, aren’t you going too far, Lin Ran is our Luo family’s life-saver, you actually said that he is having a city, are you trying to say that all of our Luo family are people are stupid?”
Luo Cheng’s face was gloomy, before he had to take into account Liu Dingtian’s face, but this person Liu Xuan’s words had obvious loopholes in order to strike Lin Ran, so he naturally wouldn’t miss it.
“Luo Cheng words can not be said nonsense, your father and I are close friends, Xuan’er will not have this intention either!”
Liu Dingtian said, at the same time couldn’t help but glance at Lin Ran, listening to his own son’s words, he was also a little more curious about this young man called Lin Ran in front of him, wanting to know how this kid had transformed from a poor student to the point where he was now.
“Uncle Liu, Lin Ran is my friend, if Liu Xuan does not welcome him, he can pretend not to see, although this Wanding Pawn is your place, but this way to bring guests, I’m afraid it is not appropriate!”
Luo Cheng continued to exert pressure, Liu Xuan listened with an ugly face, he had already realized the loopholes in his previous words, but having said it all, it was useless to regret it now.
“Xuan’er is young to speak without thinking, don’t forget your heart!”
Liu Dingtian laughed, and then looked at Lin Ran and said.
“Your name is Lin Ran? And you’re the director of the Chinese Medicine Department at Temperance Hospital?”
Lin Ran nodded, he didn’t know how this Liu Dingtian was as a person and didn’t want to say too much.
“Aiya, if I remember correctly, you should be the legendary little divine doctor!”
Liu Dingtian suddenly thought of something and looked at Lin Ran with a surprised expression.
“Little miracle doctor? Dad are you going to laugh at me? What era is this, a little miracle doctor, I think it’s more like a little miracle stick!”
Liu Xuan laughed coldly beside him again.
But Liu Dingtian’s face was chilly as he glared at Liu Xuan and scolded.
“Shut up!”
“Dad…”
Liu Xuan still wanted to retort, but Liu Dingtian moved his mouth and said softly.
“You know what your mother’s situation is now, but anyone who has the hope of curing your mother, you dare to offend me, you won’t even get a penny of my property!”
His own son, Liu Dingtian naturally knows best, the doting from childhood has made this guy not afraid of the sky and the earth, the only thing he is afraid of is not inheriting the family fortune.
“I also love my mother very much, okay!”
Liu Xuan retorted with displeasure.
Liu Dingtian was too lazy to pay any attention to him and turned to look at Lin Ran, taking out a business card and handing it over.
“Little friend Lin Ran, I’ve heard of your little miracle doctor’s name many times, but I’ve heard that you’re very difficult to meet, so I haven’t dared to go and bother you.
Liu Dingtian said politely.
This made Lin Ran a little surprised, Liu Dingtian was a person of almost the same status as Luo Ming, but he was actually so polite to himself.
Only he didn’t know that Liu Dingtian had heard of Lin Ran’s name because Luo Ming had actually told him.
“I’ll definitely pay a visit some day, but I’m just afraid that the Liu family’s grandson might not welcome me!”
Lin Ran was a little embarra*sed.
