"What...what nonsense are you spouting?"
Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Xie Yun was so startled she nearly died.
Heaven knows what kind of person this Elder Meng before them was. What did he mean by saying he had driven himself insane?
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, kid, you truly have no idea how high the sky is and how thick the earth is!"
Even Huang Junjie, who was usually very arrogant, shook his head with pity in his eyes.
He might be a playboy, but he wasn't stupid!
Even his own father didn't have the right to have armed guards. One could imagine how powerful this old man's identity was.
But now? This good-for-nothing dared to speak like that, it was practically courting death!
"Bastard! Apologize to Elder Meng at once!"
As expected, the two bodyguards guarding the door immediately entered, flanking Lin Chen, looking as if they would resort to violence at any moment.
"Apologize? Why should I apologize?"
Hearing the bodyguards' words, Lin Chen shook his head indifferently and looked directly at the old man on the hospital bed, "What? Did I say something wrong?"
"Bastard, you're looking for death!"
Seeing that Lin Chen refused to apologize and was even more arrogant, the two bodyguards were furious.
As they spoke, they placed their hands on Lin Chen's shoulders, one on each side, intending to throw him out.
Seeing this, Huang Junjie's face nearly broke into a smile.
This brat was indeed a country bumpkin with no discerning eye.
Now that he was being kicked out, he had won.
Xie Yun also sighed softly. She knew this young man must have some skill, otherwise, he wouldn't have seen through Huang Junjie's family's problems at a glance.
But this person was just too brainless, daring to confront anyone.
"Stop!"
However, to everyone's surprise, just as Lin Chen was about to be thrown out, Elder Meng, who had been half-lying on the hospital bed, suddenly jolted and jumped up.
"Meng... Elder Meng, what are you doing?"
Seeing Elder Meng's actions, Xie Yun was stunned, Huang Junjie was stunned, and the two bodyguards were also dumbfounded.
What in the world was happening?
Didn't they say he had suffered damage to his brain nerves? How could he suddenly jump up?
Could it be that this kid's words were too excessive, making the old master too angry, and he intended to deal with him personally?
"Old Master, dealing with this kind of trash is beneath you. Let me handle him. I guarantee he'll wish he were dead!"
Huang Junjie, being sharp, immediately stepped forward and stood in front of the old master upon seeing this.
Even though he still didn't know this person's true identity, he knew very well that pleasing this old man would only bring benefits, never harm!
"Bastard! Get out of my way, all of you!"
Hearing Huang Junjie's words and seeing his bodyguards' actions, Elder Meng felt that he was truly doomed!
Heaven knows how long it had been? A year? Five years? Or ten years?
Because of his illness, how many doctors had he consulted?
Whether they were domestic or international, any doctor with even a modicum of fame, he had personally invited.
But without exception, every doctor could diagnose him with brain nerve damage, yet not a single doctor could truly pinpoint the cause of his illness!
This young man, who looked to be in his twenties, was the first to directly identify the cause of his illness!
Moreover, he hadn't even taken his pulse yet!
This person was definitely a divine doctor!
"Get aside!"
After reprimanding the bodyguards, Elder Meng went directly to Lin Chen's side and bowed deeply, "Young master, this old man was blind and did not recognize a true deity. I beg young master not to take offense!"
"Hmm, forget it. You old man are still sincere, and your subordinates are just loyal to you. It's fine, I won't hold it against you."
Seeing the old man's attitude, Lin Chen nodded slightly, not taking it to heart.
If it were anyone else who called him trash, he would have turned and left.
But he was a cultivator and could sense the energies of heaven and earth, so he could naturally feel that this old man, like Shangguan Xiong, possessed the aura of a hero.
"Yes, yes, yes, thank you, young master!"
Hearing that Lin Chen was not angry, Elder Meng felt much relieved.
This scene completely stunned Xie Yun and Huang Junjie beside them.
What was going on? This kid had just called Elder Meng truly brainless, but now? Why was Elder Meng personally bowing in apology?
Especially Xie Yun, she knew Elder Meng's identity.
To personally bow ninety degrees to a young man who had insulted him? Was the world crazy? Or had Elder Meng's condition worsened?
"My humble name is Meng Huaide. May I ask the young master's esteemed surname?"
Elder Meng ignored the people around him and once again cupped his fists and bowed to Lin Chen, asking.
He knew very well that this time, he had truly met a master!
"Heh heh heh, esteemed surname is too much to say. This humble one is Lin Chen."
Lin Chen smiled slightly and reported his name.
"Very good, Mr. Lin, please wait a moment. I will dismiss the others first, and then we can chat further, shall we?"
Having learned Lin Chen's name, Elder Meng's heart finally settled.
He knew that since the other party was willing to reveal his name, he would definitely be willing to treat him.
Then, Elder Meng looked up and gave a signal to the bodyguards beside him.
The latter understood and walked directly to Xie Yun and Huang Junjie, "Please excuse yourselves, sir and madam. The old master has something to discuss with Mr. Lin."
"What? Ask us to leave?"
Hearing this, Huang Junjie was stunned.
Good heavens, Xie Yun had just told him to bring the high-precision instrument!
Coupled with the old man's unusual identity, if he were truly cured by the instrument, it would surely boost his reputation in Hangzhou.
But now? He was being asked to leave before even turning on his instrument?
"Please, you two."
The bodyguard, too lazy to explain, said again.
"You bastard, are you playing me? You asked me to bring the instrument, and now you're kicking me out before I've even turned it on. What do you mean?"
Huang Junjie was furious and questioned them directly.
"Also, I still can't recall which prominent Meng family exists in our Hangzhou. You old man, with armed guards, are you deliberately putting on a show for me?"
Having been driven away, Huang Junjie had lost some of his reason.
He knew very well that the previous applicants were probably still at the hospital, waiting to see the results of their competition.
But now? He was being kicked out before the competition even began. If those people found out, how could he maintain his standing in Hangzhou in the future?
Besides, these were armed guards! How many people in the entire Hangzhou had such treatment?
Yet, in his memory, none of those people were surnamed Meng!
