44: What kind of nonsense is this?

After going upstairs, Lu Fan carefully checked Chen Liting's condition.

His high fever had subsided, and his breathing was much more stable, but he was still in a dazed state.

The fever broke in just over ten minutes; this was the effect of the Analgin.

However, Lu Fan knew in his heart that this medicine could only temporarily relieve symptoms and could not fundamentally cure the disease.

To cure it completely, penicillin was still needed.

Lin Tianrong stood by, nervously observing Lu Fan's expression.

He saw Lu Fan's face change from initial solemnity to relief, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In a blink of an eye, he saw Lu Fan sigh coldly, his expression becoming serious again.

An ominous cloud descended, and Lin Tianrong's heart panicked.

"Brother Fan, what's going on? Is he having a temporary rally before death?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Lu Fan glared at Lin Tianrong in annoyance.

He snorted heavily twice: "This is just a normal fever reduction, what's there to be so surprised about?"

Lack of education is truly terrifying. To call a fever reduction a temporary rally before death, making him worry for nothing.

Lin Tianrong breathed a sigh of relief and excitedly asked, "Has the fever really gone down? Has my Sixth Brother been saved?"

Lu Fan nodded: "Currently, everything seems to be developing for the better.

However, the true healing medicine has not yet fully taken effect, and it still needs observation."

Upon receiving the affirmative answer, a huge weight was finally lifted from Lin Tianrong's heart.

Lin Tianrong eagerly pushed the door open and went to report the good news.

"Sixth Sister-in-law, Sixth Brother is saved! His fever has gone down!"

Lin Tianrong's voice echoed in the corridor, igniting hope among the family members.

Sixth Sister-in-law's previously dim eyes lit up again.

"Tianrong, is what you're saying true?"

She tightly gripped Lin Tianrong's arm, her voice trembling.

Lin Tianrong affirmed, "Absolutely true, Brother Fan said so."

Sixth Sister-in-law's eyes welled up with tears, and she murmured, "God bless, God bless."

The other family members also gathered around, their faces full of shock and joy.

They whispered among themselves, digesting the sudden good news.

The attending physician rushed over when he heard the commotion, carefully checking the patient's vital signs.

He had originally thought the patient was on a countdown, beyond saving.

He never expected the fever to break in such a short time.

At this moment, he was so shocked he doubted his life. How could someone with pneumonia at this stage still be saved?

Not only saved, but also recovered so quickly—this was simply a miracle.

Facing the facts, he looked incredulous, and after a long while, he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "This... how is this possible?"

If your family is related to immortals, why even come to the hospital?

The doctor was stunned for a long time before recovering, and was about to inquire further about the treatment process and medication.

At this point, Tang Jifeng stepped forward, stopping the doctor's questioning and instructing him to remain silent about the matter.

He revealed his identity, citing the protection of military secrets, forcefully suppressing the doctor's curiosity and preventing the spread of the news.

Such an action seemed overbearing and unreasonable, but it was actually very necessary.

As the saying goes: an innocent man is guilty for possessing a treasure!

At 7 PM, two hours after the penicillin injection, Chen Liting finally truly recovered.

Seeing the patient awaken, the burden on Lu Fan's shoulders was lifted. As long as the injections were given on time, this life had been snatched back.

After giving instructions, he quietly went downstairs.

To be honest, not triggering a side quest by saving Chen Liting still left him a bit disappointed.

Currently, his most urgent task was to level up, as that triple experience card had a time limit.

"Come, come, come~~ You've been busy all night, you must be hungry, come eat something!"

In the hospital's small garden, Tang Jifeng carried richly sauced local dishes and enthusiastically invited them to dinner.

The three sat down on the spot and started eating and chatting.

"Brother Fan~~ You are truly a divine being! Under such circumstances, you can still save someone! I thank you on behalf of Sixth Brother."

Lin Tianrong picked up a wine bottle, filled everyone's cups, and raised his glass with admiration to express his thanks.

Lu Fan raised his glass and humbly said, "You're too kind, it was just a small effort!"

"Cheers!" Tang Jifeng also raised his glass, and the three clinked glasses.

"Brother Fan, tell us! What kind of medicine did you just use? Its efficacy is so strong, I was stunned.

Even the doctor was doubting his life, and he was amazed by the medicine's effect."

Putting down his glass, Tang Jifeng praised Lu Fan's medical skills profusely.

Lu Fan saw through his thoughts and said lightly, "Don't beat around the bush, just say what you want."

"Then I won't be polite."

Seeing his scheme instantly exposed, Tang Jifeng chuckled awkwardly, feeling a bit embarrassed.

He rubbed his hands and began: "I have a friend who came from the north.

Because she couldn't adapt to the climate of Shanghai, she caught a cold and has been coughing non-stop.

My friend is an opera performer, and if this illness drags on, it will affect her voice and performance.

So I wanted to ask, do you have a way to cure it?"

Lin Tianrong, with an adoring look, chimed in: "That's a given.

Brother Fan can snatch Sixth Brother back from King Yama's hands, so a small cough is nothing.

You probably don't know, but Brother Fan even cured Ma Jieli's daughter of scarlet fever."

Lu Fan was speechless. These two lively characters really thought of him as a divine doctor.

Although he currently held the title of special researcher at Leistede Research Institute.

In reality, he had only taken a few crash courses as a barefoot doctor.

He could handle emergencies and try to save a desperate situation.

However, to truly diagnose and prescribe medicine for people, he really couldn't.

Besides, his main profession was a businessman. He was reluctantly moonlighting as a doctor for business.

If he were to become a full-time doctor, what kind of situation would that be?

Whoever wants to do this job can do it, but he definitely won't... Just as he was about to refuse, a system notification sounded in his mind, and a side quest was triggered.

[Side Quest: Scarlet Performer. Save the life of a patriotic opera celebrity. Time limit: three hours.]

It's like intending to grow flowers, but they don't bloom; yet, a willow branch stuck casually grows into a shade.

Isn't this a quest right here!

"Of course~~~ It's my inescapable duty to heal the sick and save lives. If you, Tang the Fourth, ask, what else can I say, Brother?"

Lu Fan readily agreed, simultaneously speeding up his eating.

This scene moved Tang Jifeng to tears; he wished he could immediately kowtow.

Five minutes later, Lu Fan put down his chopsticks, picked up his medicine box, and left.

The Concession was brightly lit at night. As the car passed Paramount Hall, it was bustling with lively crowds.

People in fine clothes and on spirited horses were still immersed in singing and dancing, enjoying the last carnival before the impending storm.

In stark contrast, in the dark corners of the streets,

some were poorly clothed, some had nothing to eat, and some lay frozen to death by the roadside.

Lu Fan couldn't bear to look directly, using the pretense of resting his eyes to once again carefully ponder this side quest.

Suddenly, he discovered a significant discrepancy between the quest content and what Tang Jifeng had said.

From merely catching a cold and coughing non-stop to saving a life, there was a qualitative difference.

Too hasty, too hasty!

Lu Fan sighed inwardly, but the arrow was already on the bowstring, and he had to let it fly.
