Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 603 - 597: Pretending to be Sick

At the entrance of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association.

Tangyu walked out and saw Liu Shiyi standing there, smiling as he approached her, "Were you waiting for me?"

Liu Shiyi’s face suddenly turned a shade of red, and with a somewhat evasive look, she said, "No, I wasn’t waiting for you. I was just waiting—waiting for a taxi, alright?"

Rao Yuanzhen suddenly said, "Liu Shiyi, didn’t several taxis just pass by? They even offered to give you a ride for free and you didn’t agree." Rao Yuanzhen’s words clearly exposed Liu Shiyi’s lie, making her already blushing face turn even redder. She rolled her eyes at Rao Yuanzhen, who was snickering on the side.

"Let’s go back together," Tangyu said.

Liu Shiyi, looking a bit nervous, pinched her hand, "The taxi hasn’t come yet."

Tangyu nodded towards Rao Yuanzhen and said, "There’s a free driver right here."

Rao Yuanzhen smiled and said, "Yes, Liu Shiyi, I told you I’d take you home just now. I’m heading back to campus anyway, it’s on the way. You just wanted to wait for Tangyu to come out. Now that he’s here, can we go?"

"Would you die if you didn’t speak?" Liu Shiyi, somewhat infuriatingly embarrassed, angrily got into Rao Yuanzhen’s car. Tangyu followed with a smile. Rao Yuanzhen used to have feelings for Liu Shiyi, but he knew she liked Tangyu, so he had completely given up on her because he knew he couldn’t compete with Tangyu. In every aspect, he was no match for Tangyu. Besides, he admired Tangyu as much as he admired his own brother.

"I’m not going to school this afternoon, take me home," Liu Shiyi said.

Rao Yuanzhen nodded, "Alright, I’ll take you home right away. The campus isn’t really the best place for you two celebrities to talk about love. Home is better, it’s quiet and no one will see you."

"..." Liu Shiyi, her face blushing, simply chose not to explain anymore.

Twenty minutes later, Rao Yuanzhen parked the car in front of Liu Shiyi’s Medicine Hall, which was packed with people, even crowded around the entrance.

"Oh, Liu Shiyi, your family business is booming." Rao Yuanzhen remarked.

Liu Shiyi smiled, "Of course, don’t you see who’s running it? My grandfather and I are so busy every day, now we do more business in one day than we used to do in a month."

"Haha, that’s really something to celebrate." Rao Yuanzhen said.

"But that’s not right, Shiyi, why are there police officers? It looks like something’s wrong," Tangyu said.

"How could that be—" Liu Shiyi looked over and indeed saw something seemed off. She immediately pushed open the car door, got out, and ran towards the Medicine Hall. Tangyu hesitated for a moment, then followed her. Rao Yuanzhen had planned to leave the two there and go, but since something happened at the Medicine Hall, he naturally got out of the car to check the situation too. Squeezing inside, Tangyu could finally see clearly. A man in his thirties was yelling about pain in his body, calling Liu’s grandfather a quack, blaming the medicine prescribed by Liu’s grandfather for his condition, sounding very convincing while the onlookers pointed and commented.

Liu’s grandfather looked solemn, "That’s impossible, the medicine I prescribe is absolutely fine; theoretically, your illness should have been completely cured—there’s no way you should be experiencing pain all over your body."

The man retorted, "I’m in pain all over my body right now, it started after taking your medicine, how can you say it’s unrelated? Is it possible for my body to hurt without reason? The police are here, let them judge this matter. You need to give me an explanation, what are you going to do about it? Don’t tell me about the treatment I received here; I became like this because I took the medicine from here, there’s no way I can trust you anymore. It’s all big talk, just a trick to deceive people."

Understanding the situation, Liu Shiyi said angrily to the man, "Can’t you stop making unreasonable troubles? If you say you’re in pain all over, then let’s go to the hospital and get a full body checkup, okay? If it really turns out to be like that, and it’s our medicine’s fault, I will definitely take responsibility."

"Of course you would say that, say whatever you want. I recognize you, the representative of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, a celebrity. But what does that matter, I’m just in pain all over, and that’s your responsibility. Thinking about shirking it won’t be so easy. I don’t want to argue with you anymore, just give me 2000 yuan, and I’ll go to the hospital myself, and we’ll call it even," the man said, clearly trying to extort them, as anyone with a clear mind could tell.

"If you keep making unreasonable demands, I’ll report you for extortion," Liu Shiyi said furiously.

The man replied indifferently, "Sure, go ahead and sue, you don’t have to—I already called the police here myself. I’m in pain all over, and that’s your responsibility. One thing’s for sure, I’m not leaving without the money, and you won’t be able to do business either. Think you can bully people because of your celebrity? Let’s see who can mess with me today."

This was obviously a rascal’s tactic; Liu’s grandfather was also very upset and had to be helped by the steward to rest on the side; Liu Shiyi would handle this.

A police officer came over, shaking his head, pulled Liu Shiyi aside, and gave a wry smile, "Miss Liu, this guy’s nickname is Crazy Old Six, just a rogue lunatic, like a mad dog. Anyone he targets, he won’t stop until he bites off a piece of flesh. He’s in and out of our station every other day; we’re all tired of seeing him. Catching him doesn’t help much. As smart as he acts, he really is clever; the offenses he commits never amount to anything criminal, at most we can only detain him for a few days and let him off with a warning. We’ve pretty much stopped trying to arrest him; he treats the police station like an inn. Whenever he has no money for food, he runs to us. We’re really helpless against people like him. If you try to touch him, he can immediately play dead, lying there for days without moving. So now, I just turn a blind eye, as long as he doesn’t cause any major trouble, we sort of just let him be. We all see this matter; clearly Crazy Old Six is just here to extort you. It’s just hard to call it extortion, given his condition, he’s always in pain, and if he insists it’s due to your medicine, there’s nothing we can do. Even if a medical report proves otherwise, it would still be treated as a civil dispute, and not enough to detain him. So, Miss Liu, I think the best course is to just let it go to keep the peace."
