I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

Chapter 791: Speechless

Lin Fan slowly walked into the main hall of the Liu family mansion. As soon as he appeared, the noisy discussions instantly quieted down. A few seconds later, the crowd erupted in even more intense whispers.

"Isn't this the son-in-law of the Wang family?"

"That's him! I've seen him before. I saw him being kicked out by the Wang family a few days ago."

"I heard he wasn't even allowed to take his luggage. That's really tragic."

"This kind of person can also cure diseases? Don't be a liar."

Lin Fan's expression remained calm, as if he hadn't heard the harsh comments. He walked straight towards Old Man Liu, ready to check on him.

"Wait!" A sharp voice suddenly rang out from the crowd. "Everyone, look carefully. This man is the useless son-in-law kicked out by the Wang family. What qualifications does he have to treat Mr. Liu?"

The speaker was a middle-aged woman in luxurious clothes. She was Chen Meiling, the second wife of the Liu family. She had always been dissatisfied with Liu Ying, believing that Liu Ying was too arbitrary, and now she finally had her chance.

"Meiling is right," Liu Zhiqiang from the third branch of the Liu family also stood up. "Dad's condition is so serious, how can we let someone with unknown backgrounds treat him recklessly?"

Liu Ying's face darkened and she was about to speak when Lin Fan gently waved his hand.

"Since everyone has doubts, I'll step aside first." Lin Fan turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Liu Ying hurriedly stopped him, "Lin Fan, don't listen to their nonsense."

She turned to face the group, her voice filled with anger, "You people are ridiculous! You all saw how ill Grandpa was these past few days. He's been in critical condition. Now that things have finally turned around, you're all here talking nonsense!"

"Ying'er, we're doing this for the old man's own good." Chen Meiling pretended to be concerned. "What if this person is a scammer?"

"Liar?" Liu Ying sneered. "Then tell me, why did Grandpa suddenly get better?"

"This..." Everyone looked at each other.

"Let me tell you!" Liu Ying raised her voice. "Grandpa woke up from his coma because he took Lin Fan's medicine! You were all helpless when Grandpa was seriously ill, and now that you see someone who can cure Grandpa, you're here to find fault!"

Someone in the crowd murmured, "Could it be a coincidence?"

"Yes, maybe it's just a natural recovery."

"I don't think this young man looks like a doctor."

Liu Ying was so angry that her face turned red. Just as she was about to continue arguing, a short and fat middle-aged man walked out of the crowd.

"Everyone, everyone!" The man waved his hand for silence. "I'm in the Chinese herbal medicine business. My last name is Zhang, and I've been in this business for over 20 years. After hearing everyone's discussion just now, I feel the need to speak out a few fair words."

Everyone looked at him. Boss Zhang cleared his throat and continued, "I've just carefully examined this young man's medicine. It does look like a top-grade elixir. But..."

He paused deliberately to whet everyone's appetite.

"But what?" someone asked impatiently.

"But now there are many unscrupulous vendors on the market who add stimulating hormones to pills. These substances can indeed boost patients' spirits for a short period of time, making it seem as if their condition has improved, but in reality, they are overdrawing their bodies, with disastrous consequences!"

As soon as Boss Zhang said this, the whole place exploded.

"Oh my God! Is there such a thing?"

"Then isn't Mr. Liu very dangerous?"

"Could this young man really be a liar?"

Liu Ying's face turned pale. Although she believed in Lin Fan, she couldn't help but feel a little shaken when she heard what Boss Zhang said.

Lin Fan remained calm and glanced at Boss Zhang calmly: "Are you finished?"

Boss Zhang was a little uneasy at the look in his eyes, but he still said stubbornly, "Little brother, I'm not trying to embarrass you on purpose. How about this? Take out another pill and I'll have a professional pharmacist test it. If there's no problem, I'll apologize to you in public. If there's a problem..."

"What if there is a problem?" Lin Fan asked.

"If there is a problem, you have to admit that you are a liar and compensate Mr. Liu for his medical expenses!" Boss Zhang said proudly.

"That's right!" Chen Meiling agreed immediately, "This proposal is very fair."

"I agree!" Liu Zhiqiang also joined in the fun.

Others nodded in agreement.

Liu Ying was anxious: "You are forcing me! Lin Fan, you don't have to pay attention to them."

Lin Fan looked at everyone and said calmly, "No need for testing."

"What?" Boss Zhang was stunned. "You don't dare to test?"

"It's not that I don't dare, but there's no need." Lin Fan's voice was eerily calm. "My medicine doesn't need to be proven to anyone."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the scene became even more solemn.

"Hahaha!" Boss Zhang laughed. "Did you hear that? He doesn't dare to test! Isn't that a guilty conscience?"

"That's right! If you have nothing to hide, why are you afraid of the test?"

"I told you he was a liar!"

"Liu Ying, do you still want to defend this kind of person?"

Facing the crowd's doubts and ridicule, Liu Ying's expression grew increasingly grim. She looked at Lin Fan, her eyes filled with mixed emotions.

Just then, footsteps were heard outside the Liu family's gate.

"Boss Zhang, has the pharmacist you called for arrived?" Chen Meiling asked impatiently.

Boss Zhang nodded proudly: "Of course, I specially invited Dr. Li, the most authoritative drug testing expert in the city."

As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a white coat walked in. He was holding a testing instrument box in his hand.

"Hello everyone, I'm Dr. Li from the Municipal Drug Testing Center." The visitor pushed up his glasses. "I heard there are drugs that need testing here?"

Boss Zhang stepped forward quickly and said, "Dr. Li, this is the young man who gave Mr. Liu a pill. We suspect it contains banned substances."

Dr. Li looked at Lin Fan, then at Mr. Liu lying on the hospital bed, and nodded. "This situation does require testing. However, testing requires a sample. Please provide a pill, sir."

"Did you hear that?" Boss Zhang turned to look at Lin Fan. "The experts are here, and you still haven't brought out the medicine?"

Lin Fan remained expressionless: "I told you, it's not necessary."

"What's your attitude?" Dr. Li frowned. "As a medical worker, you should cooperate with the test."

"Medical worker?" Lin Fan smiled faintly. "Are you sure I'm a medical worker?"

"This..." Dr. Li was speechless for a moment.

"I don't think he's a doctor at all!" someone in the crowd shouted. "Why would a serious doctor refuse to cooperate with the test?"

"That's right! Only someone with a guilty conscience would refuse!"

"Liu Ying, do you still believe this liar?"

Facing everyone's doubts, Liu Ying gritted her teeth and walked over to Lin Fan: "I believe you. But to reassure everyone, please cooperate with the test."
