Chapter 49 Disrupting the Event
Today is the official opening day of Zhang Qin Clinic.
Early in the morning, Lin Youyou's family, Xiao Chen, Xia Liuli, and Chen Lin all gathered together.
"The clinic will hold its opening ceremony at 11:00 AM sharp. Before that, Dr. Chen will conduct a free clinic at the entrance to attract customers," Xiao Chen explained his plan.
Chen Lin naturally didn't say a word.
Xia Liuli remained helpless.
A free clinic by a top-tier doctor would draw huge crowds, not just in the southern part of the city, but even in the capital.
But no one would use a top-tier physician like Xiao Chen.
On second thought, it was already unusual for a top-tier doctor to be running a small street clinic, so she accepted it.
Today, a stage was set up outside the clinic, and Xiao Chen was going to hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony, which made everyone feel very embarrassed.
The opening of a small clinic was done like the launch of a luxury shopping mall.
When Xia Tianqi put up the sign that read "Specialist Physician Chen Ping Offers Free Medical Consultation," a crowd quickly gathered at the clinic entrance.
Chen Ping was originally the director of the Xiao family's private hospital in Nancheng. The Xiao family had promoted it extensively, and its reputation was extremely high.
How could such a prestigious brand not cause a sensation?
Seeing the long queue stretching from one end of the street to the other, Lin Youyou and her family were overjoyed.
There's absolutely no need to worry about the clinic's business.
Just as things were getting lively, a commotion suddenly broke out on the street opposite the clinic.
"Dr. Sun Youde, a top-level physician from Jiangnan, is offering free consultations! Not only are consultations free, but treatment and medication are also completely free!" Someone shouted through a megaphone, their voice echoing throughout the entire street.
"A top-tier doctor from Jiangnan? Free medical consultations, treatments, and medications?" The patients queuing up were astonished.
After a brief moment of deliberation, they all turned around and ran to the other side to join the queue.
In the southern part of the city, Chen Lin had a greater reputation, but everything on the other side was free. Who wouldn't want to go for such a great opportunity?
In an instant, Xiao Chen and his group became quiet.
"How could this happen?" Zhang Qin and Lin Youyou were furious and panicked at the same time.
This is clearly a challenge and disruption!
Xiao Chen and Xia Liuli both frowned.
"What is that old bastard Sun Youde doing here? Trying to sabotage me? That damned old scoundrel!" Chen Ping's face was grim, clearly indicating that he had a grudge against the other party.
Lin Youyou ran to the other side for a glance, then hurriedly ran back.
"A clinic has opened across the street, offering free medical treatment and medicine. They're also having their opening ceremony at 11 a.m.!" she said indignantly.
"Still not giving up?" Xiao Chen's expression gradually turned cold.
The line across the street is getting longer and longer; they're almost squeezing into the clinic.
On the second floor of the clinic, several people were coldly watching the scene below.
The Xiao family patriarch Xiao Hongyuan, Xiao Yiyi and Xiao Shanshan, the Xia family patriarch, and several important figures from both families were present.
"With our two families joining forces, are we afraid of not being able to deal with a discarded pawn?" Xiao Hongyuan sneered.
"First, sabotage their clinic, then let them gradually descend into despair!" Xiao Yiyi declared, as if she were pointing out the flaws in the system.
"This Xiao Chen is truly despicable; he must be utterly destroyed! Our Xia family is weak and mainly relies on the Xiao family," the Xia family head said in a deep voice, a hint of worry on his face.
"You're saying he has the Ling family from the provincial capital backing him up, that's not good..."
Xiao Hongyuan chuckled, telling him to relax.
"The Ling family is indeed powerful, but my Xiao family has received tremendous support now, so we are not afraid of them! Besides, the Ling family will not use much of their power for Xiao Chen."
After a brief discussion, the group was confident in their plan to deal with Xiao Chen.
"Look at them over there, not a single fly. They're so pathetic," Xiao Shanshan said with a mocking laugh as she looked out the window.
Xiao Chen, who was opposite them, also saw them, his expression indifferent.
"I can't swallow this insult!" Chen Lin lost his temper, grabbed a thermos and walked towards the other side. Zhang Qin and Lin Youyou couldn't stop him, and Xia Liuli couldn't stop him either.
"Sun Youde, you shameless bastard!" he cursed angrily, looking as if he was about to smash something.
Sun Youde was startled and quickly got up to avoid it.
"Chen Lin, what kind of skill is this? You can open a clinic but I can't? If you're so capable, then compete fairly!" he shouted.
"Fair competition? Is this fair competition? You're just trying to antagonize us!" Chen Lin roared.
"You're not convinced? Fine, I'll give you a chance!" Sun Youde stopped and said with a sneer.
"With so many people here, why don't we have a competition to see whose medical skills are superior!"
“Let’s compete then, who’s afraid of you?” Chen Lin said without backing down.
Fearing that he might change his mind, Sun Youde immediately had people set up two tables, which were piled high with various medicines and drugs.
"The teacher has fallen into a trap!" Xia Liuli said with a grim expression.
Xiao Chen could easily see that Sun Youde was clearly provoking Chen Lin to compete with him in medical skills, and there must be a conspiracy behind it.
"Tell me, how do you plan to compare them?" Chen Lin asked.
"We've competed in treating illnesses and saving lives before, and it was hard to determine a winner. This time, let's compete in detoxification!" Sun Youde said meaningfully.
Chen Lin frowned upon hearing this, and Xia Liuli began to worry.
As is well known, Sun Youde was extremely skilled in pharmacology.
Chen Lin is no match for him in using and detoxifying poison.
However, if they do not respond, they will lose face and be ridiculed by Sun Youde's side, making it difficult for the clinic to continue operating.
This move was extremely insidious.
"Don't worry, we can agree beforehand that no deadly poisons will be used," Sun Youde said jokingly.
This is a mockery of Chen Lin for being afraid to answer.
Chen Lin turned and glanced at Xiao Chen, who nodded slightly.
He immediately became very confident.
"Alright, let's have a competition! Whoever loses gets out of South City!"
Sun Youde was naturally happy to see it and quickly agreed.
On the second floor opposite, Xiao Hongyuan and his men revealed sinister smiles.
"Special-grade physician Chen Lin is ungrateful and insists on helping a pawn. He chose the wrong path and will pay the price!" Xiao Hongyuan muttered to himself.
"Doctor Sun's poison is more than enough to deal with Chen Lin. It won't kill him, but it will cripple him. This is the price of choosing the wrong side!" the Xia family head said calmly.
As they spoke, both sides had already taken their positions.
Sun Youde, with a smug look on his face, took out a small bottle of medicine, placed it on the table, and uncorked it.
“Chen Lin, this poison of mine is the most extraordinary in the world. Once you take it, even if the Medical Sage Chenming himself came, I'm afraid it would be too late to save you. It's not too late for you to admit defeat now,” he said with a smile.
Chen Lin glanced at the liquid medicine, but couldn't smell anything, which made him a little uneasy.
Colorless and odorless poisons are generally more difficult to deal with.
He couldn't identify what kind of poison it was.
Xiao Chen glanced at it, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"Bone-corroding water? How vicious." His face turned cold as he spoke in a low voice.
"What? Bone-Corroding Water?" Chen Lin's expression changed drastically upon hearing this. "They are so vicious!"
"Mr. Xiao, you... might be able to handle this..." Chen Lin asked cautiously, his forehead beaded with cold sweat.
