While no one was visiting the clinic in the morning, Lin Fan pushed his cart and moved things twice.
Unexpectedly, when he returned, he heard a fierce argument coming from the clinic.
"What's going on?"
Lin Fan took two quick steps and rushed in.
He then saw Cao Dewang and Ge Lili, their faces flushed and necks red, cursing each other.
Xia Xue and Song Yue, their faces very grim, were arguing.
"Cao Dewang!"
Lin Fan's eyes held a killing intent: "What, are you addicted to bullying people?"
Seeing Lin Fan's stance, Cao Dewang's voice immediately softened.
"Xiao Fan, don't slander me. My daughter-in-law came to your clinic to see a doctor, look at her now, the spot where she got the injection is swollen. How did you treat her?"
Before Lin Fan could speak, Song Yue retorted mockingly, "What a joke, how would you, as a father-in-law, know if your daughter-in-law's butt is swollen or not?"
"Did you see it with your own eyes?"
"I..." Cao Dewang stammered a few times, then angrily said, "Don't talk nonsense, don't be unreasonable. I'm just asking you, how do you plan to handle this matter?"
"Handle what?" Lin Fan shrugged, "I just want to ask you, did Ge Lili pay when she came for treatment?"
"Why should I pay you?" Ge Lili shouted.
Lin Fan spread his hands, "That's what I mean. Even if you buy groceries or fruit, you have to pay before you can pick faults with them. You came for treatment without paying, and now you're complaining that our skills are not good?"
Ge Lili pointed at Lin Fan's nose and said angrily, "You're making a mountain out of a molehill!"
Lin Fan smiled, "When you came earlier, what were you planning? Did you think I didn't know?"
"Why is Cao Yun hiding in the car?"
"You..." Ge Lili was so cornered that she couldn't speak.
"Whatever tricks you want to play, I'll play along."
Lin Fan's face was fierce. He then looked at Cao Dewang and said, "I know you've been the village head for your whole life, and no one in Luofeng Village dares to provoke you."
"But remember, even a rabbit bites when it's cornered."
Cao Dewang opened his mouth, thought for a moment, and then said, "I came to reason with you. Why are you saying all this?"
"Reason?" Lin Fan chuckled, "If you want to call the police, call the police. If you want to sue, sue. I'll accompany you to the end."
"If you want to play dirty tricks with me, get lost!"
Lin Fan's voice was deep and loud, startling Cao Dewang and Ge Lili.
Then, Ge Lili stepped forward a few steps, walked up to Lin Fan, and asked fiercely, "Then how do you plan to handle this matter?"
Lin Fan's pupils contracted, and his Zi Ji Ling Tong (Purple Extreme Spirit Eyes) immediately activated.
He hadn't looked too closely earlier due to moral concerns.
Now, it seemed, it was true as Song Yue had said, she really hadn't been slighted.
Besides these, Lin Fan also saw a five-finger imprint on her chest.
The imprint was clearly visible, deep cyan in color, and likely no more than an hour and a half old.
Lin Fan was puzzled: "It doesn't make sense. Today isn't the weekend, Cao Yun should have gone to town to clock in and report. He should have left this morning."
Could it be...
"What are you looking at?"
Ge Lili took a few steps back.
"I'm checking if you have any other problems. Do you understand diagnosis by observation, listening, questioning, and palpation?"
Lin Fan answered casually.
If it wasn't Cao Yun, then who did it?
"Really, none of you are reasonable."
Song Yue pointed at Cao Dewang's nose and said angrily, "You, the village head of Luofeng Village, have been like this your whole life."
"If I had known, I would have died before marrying your eldest son."
Cao Dewang didn't want to dwell on the past, so he didn't reply. He and Ge Lili left.
Xia Xue patted Song Yue's shoulder and explained, "Our village was full of refugees before. We don't have any prominent families, unlike your Wang Village, where everyone is related."
After explaining, Xia Xue looked at Lin Fan again and asked, "Xiao Fan, what were you looking at just now?"
"Nothing, nothing. I just felt that Ge Lili was a bit off."
Lin Fan watched Cao Dewang and Ge Lili's retreating figures and muttered, "Cao Yun isn't home, but Cao Dewang is usually in the village."
"Logically speaking, Ge Lili wouldn't have had the chance to go out and cheat."
"It can't be..."
It couldn't be, could it?
Cao Dewang was already half-dead, and he could still do such a thing?
Sherlock Holmes had a famous quote: "When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth!"
"Xiao Fan, what are you thinking?"
Xia Xue asked, seeing Lin Fan frozen in place.
Lin Fan came back to his senses and said, "Sister-in-law, Yueyue, you two keep an eye out. If any patients come to see me, tell them to come back tomorrow."
After instructing them, he was about to follow to find out.
"Xiao Fan, where are you going?"
Xia Xue called out to him, afraid that his youthful impulsiveness would lead him to do something foolish.
"It's nothing, sister-in-law, I'm just going out for a bit."
Lin Fan thought for a moment and explained, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I won't do anything out of line. I just have a question I want to figure out."
"You're not allowed to go!" Xia Xue said sternly, "You stay in the clinic and don't cause trouble!"
"Sister-in-law, I really don't..."
Lin Fan was helpless, so he turned to Song Yue for help, "You help me say something. I'll just go out for a little while and come right back."
"This..." Song Yue looked at Lin Fan, then at Xia Xue, and persuaded, "Xue'er sister, just listen to Xiao Fan. Although he's young, he's not someone who acts recklessly."
Xia Xue hesitated. If he acted impulsively and caused a major disaster, how would they live their lives in the future?
"Sister-in-law, that's it. I'm leaving now."
After speaking, Lin Fan turned and ran.
Cao Yun worked during the day. If Cao Dewang and Ge Lili really had something going on, it would definitely be during this time.
What if he happened to see it?
Xia Xue also ran out, wanting to stop Lin Fan, but as soon as she ran out, she saw Lin Fan disappear in a flash.
Song Yue followed her out and said to her from behind, "Sister Xue'er, don't worry. I think Xiao Fan is quite steady and won't do anything foolish."
Xia Xue sighed softly and had no choice but to nod and return to the house.
At the same time, Lin Fan walked quickly towards the east end of the village.
The Cao family, a trio, had been causing trouble repeatedly, and they had truly angered him.
If he caught any dirt on them, he would make it public.
At that time, the surrounding villages would know what kind of people they were behind closed doors, the Cao family, who lorded over Luofeng Village every day.
Soon, Lin Fan reached his destination.
It was a small Western-style building.
Cao Yun's marital home occupied a large area and was surrounded by a courtyard of over two hundred square meters.
Lin Fan was furious at first glance.
"I'm just building a house on my own land, and you're not allowed here, not allowed there."
"You occupy such a large area, and you're fine?"
Woof woof woof!
Before Lin Fan could get close, a Tibetan Mastiff rushed out of the courtyard.
The Tibetan Mastiff was tall and fierce, looking like it could tear its chain.
Seeing this, Lin Fan immediately hid behind the wall.
Soon, Lin Fan heard Ge Lili's voice; "Big Cat, why are you barking?"
Ge Lili looked around the courtyard, saw nothing suspicious, and then said, "All you do is bark for no reason all day!"
