39. The geared-up Protagonist!

In the eyes of many, those who heal and save lives are usually wise old ladies or old men with white beards.

Who has ever seen a young rascal step forward and confidently claim to be able to cure heart disease, and even snatch someone from the jaws of death?

Just looking at his youthful face alone, it’s not enough to convince people.

However, as Lin Ran spoke up, a glimmer of hope seemed to ignite in Su Wenbin’s eyes.

Before hosting the banquet, he had encountered Lin Ran once.

At that time, Lin Ran saved an elderly person suffering from cerebral palsy right on the main road, and he was present at the scene.

Later, he learned that Lin Ran was actually from the Lin family in Binjiang City. From a young age, he was recognized by a master and acquired extraordinary medical skills. He also discovered that for many complicated and difficult conditions, there was nothing Lin Ran couldn’t handle.

Therefore, he chose to befriend Lin Ran and invited him to attend the birthday banquet.

Originally, he had planned to ask Lin Ran to help after the banquet and see if he could cure the old master’s heart disease.

Little did he know that before the banquet even concluded, the old master fell ill.

Perhaps Su Wenbin himself didn’t even realize that the reason why the old master suddenly fell ill was that he placed his hopes on Lin Ran to cure him.

In truth, Lin Ran felt that if he easily cured the old master, he might not receive the utmost gratitude from the Su family.

Only by intervening at the most critical moment could he achieve the greatest effect and make the entire Su family regard him as a benefactor.

Furthermore, he could also show off and gain some face in front of a large group of people.

It was a win-win situation.

What a pity…

This time, Lu Fei is here.

Lin Ran’s attempt to show off is destined to fail.

“Master Su, have you made up your mind? The old master is on the brink of death, and only I can cure him. If we delay any longer, even I won’t be able to save him!”

“Since you are helpless, why not trust me for once? Let’s try everything we can, even if seems unlikely to succeed!”

Just as Su Wenbin was still hesitating, Lin Ran casually spoke up.

Upon hearing Lin Ran’s words, the crowd, which had finally quieted down, became noisy once again,

“Oh my, what an arrogant kid!”

“What does this kid mean by ‘trying everything we can’? Is he treating Su’s old master as a lost cause?”

“Whose kid is he? Quite a sharp-tongued one!”

“Fuck him! Does he even understand what medical skills are? Can heart disease be cured just by him talking for half an hour?”

“Old Zhang himself said it was beyond hope, and now this kid comes out saying such things. Isn’t he just insulting Old Zhang?”

…

Upon hearing Lin Ran’s unreserved words, Su Wenbin’s impression of him unconsciously deteriorated.

What does he mean by “trying everything we can”?

Is he treating my father as an experimental guinea pig?

However, so far, Lin Ran is the only one on the field who might have a chance of saving the old master. Su Wenbin had no choice but to agree to give it a try.

“Are you sure you can cure my father?”

Su Wenbin’s voice carried a hint of heaviness as he looked at Lin Ran intently.

Upon hearing Su Wenbin’s words, Lin Ran’s chest involuntarily straightened a bit.

After returning from his training in the mountains, Lin Ran couldn’t guarantee much, but when it came to medical skills, he had already mastered the old man’s abilities quite comprehensively. His medical skills were undoubtedly exceptional.

Regarding many modern complicated conditions, they were simply not a problem in his hands.

As long as there was a breath left, he had a way to snatch people back from the King of Hell, let alone mere heart disease.

“Of course, within half an hour, Mr. Su can definitely recover completely!”

Lin Ran slapped his chest confidently, exuding an air of self-assurance.

“Patriarch, this kid’s background needs to be verified. Just look at his age, he hasn’t even shed his baby hair yet. Saying that he knows medical skills, isn’t he joking with the old master’s life?”

“Yeah, Patriarch, I don’t think this kid’s face looks like that of a good person!”

People around immediately started advising when they heard that Patriarch Su intended to let this kid, Lin Ran, give it a try.

The ones speaking up were some of the Su family’s own descendants.

Upon seeing this scene, Lin Ran became anxious. It didn’t matter if others mocked him; as long as he successfully cured the old master, he would naturally shut them up.

But these people were from the Su family itself. If they managed to persuade Su Wenbin and didn’t allow him to proceed with the attempt…

Then wouldn’t all his plans be in vain?

With a cold sneer, Lin Ran scolded, “Hmph, a bunch of useless people have the nerve to blabber here. Why don’t you try saving Mr. Su yourselves?”

Lin Ran’s words nearly ridiculed most of the Su family’s own descendants.

“You…”

Before that person could say anything, Su Wenbin interrupted the commotion.

Su Wenbin spoke, “Lin, my young friend, go ahead and give it a try!”

Upon hearing Su Wenbin’s words, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Lin Ran’s mouth.

Without saying a word, he directly took out the pre-prepared silver needles.

At first glance, the needle pouch looked slightly worn, with several layers of sealed compartments containing the silver needles, stacked on top of each other.

Each silver needle was engraved with mysterious patterns, making it look fascinating and enigmatic.

“Silver needles?”

“This kid wouldn’t be planning to use acupuncture, would he? It’s really laughable!”

“Without any medicine, isn’t he just shooting in the dark!”

…

As Lin Ran made his move, although the voices of the crowd lowered significantly, there were still many people whispering and gossiping among themselves.
