Wang Hailin was so embarrassed that his face turned red, regretting speaking too much. He shouldnât have doubted Lin Fan, and now everyone knew he had kidney deficiency.
It turned out that Lin Fan indeed had medical skills, and rather good ones at that. Using traditional Chinese medicine techniques like looking, listening, questioning, and feeling the pulse, Lin Fan identified Wang Hailinâs problem just by observation.
Since Lin Fan could tell that the Internet celebrity face wasnât pregnant, his words carried significant credibility. Many present had already come to believe Lin Fan. Mr. Lin was truly impressive, even possessing medical skills!
However, Li Jian refused to believe, thinking that even if Lin Fan had medical skills, it didnât prove his judgment to be correct.
After all, Li Jian had personally seen the pregnancy report of the Internet celebrity face. With his prideful personality, he couldnât believe that she would dare deceive him.
Lin Fan smiled and said, "Donât be anxious. Speaking of the examination report, thatâs the key point next."
Li Jian frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
Lin Fan said, "In the past two days, the police have cracked down on a medical fraud case. The culprits were insiders in the medical system, providing false certifications to others for profit. After capturing them, the police obtained a list of clients. Since these people were involved in illegal activities by obtaining fake certifications, the police decided to make this client list public and conduct accountability investigations on them. I happened to see this list. Guess whose name I saw on it?"
Li Jianâs expression changed; he sensed that something was wrong.
Lin Fan smiled and said, "Liao Xiaoyun, does this name sound familiar to you?"
Wasnât this the exact name of the Internet celebrity face!
Li Jian exclaimed excitedly, "Where did you see this list?"
Lin Fan replied, "Itâs on the Yun City Police Stationâs website."
Li Jian hurriedly pulled out his phone and started checking. Everyone else, curious, did the same, all looking down at their phones.
Sure enough, they found the announcement on the Yun City Police Stationâs website. The police had uncovered a forgery case for medical proof, and Liao Xiaoyunâs name was conspicuously on the list of clients published by the police!
"There really is this person!"
"It seems Mr. Lin is telling the truth!"
"This woman is terrible; she deceived Li Family!"
"How could such a respectable Li Family be so careless!"
People were abuzz with discussion.
Seeing Liao Xiaoyunâs name, Li Jianâs face went pale. Hearing the chatter around him, he felt utterly humiliated. If this spread, the mighty Yun Cityâs Li Family would have been duped by an Internet celebrity face. How could he show his face again?
He put on a brave face and coldly snorted, "Even if thatâs the case, itâs just a name on a list. There are plenty of people with the same name. How do you know this person is my daughter-in-law!"
Lin Fan said, "Discovering criminals and providing the police with clues for a case is an act of justice. Do you agree with this, Mr. Li?"
Li Jian finally understood, "It was you who reported it. You accused Little Yun!"
Of course, Lin Fan was the one who reported it. He could have investigated this matter on his own but felt it was most appropriate to report it. Lin Fan provided the police with clues about Liao Xiaoyunâs forgery, and the police quickly solved the case.
Originally, Lin Fan intended to reveal the true nature of the Internet celebrity face as a gift to Li Jian and out of consideration for his face, Lin Fan didnât plan to publicize the matter, intending to explain it to Li Jian privately instead.
However, Li Jian brought the matter to the forefront and was bent on publicly disgracing Lin Fan. Lin Fan had no choice but to clarify the truth publicly.
Lin Fan sighed slightly, "I didnât plan to reveal this matter publicly. I had warned Mr. Li, but unfortunately, Mr. Lin took me for a villain and insisted on publicly confronting me. I had no choice but to prove my innocence in front of everyone."
Li Jianâs face turned red, and he felt a mix of emotions, not knowing what to feel.
At this point, he had no choice but to believe he had indeed been deceived by an Internet celebrity face. The distinguished Yun Cityâs Li Family had been conned into marriage by a female swindler!
So embarrassing, so embarrassing!
If he had known earlier, he certainly wouldnât have publicized it. Such an embarrassing matter should be handled privately. Now, with everyone knowing, the Li Family had become a laughingstock!
He regretted it immensely. It was all his own fault for being too eager to discredit Lin Fan, but instead, he made himself a joke.
The snickering among the crowd was persistent, as everyone enjoyed watching such a high-society joke.
Li Jian really wished he could dig a hole and crawl into it.
Seeing this, Song Rongmao seized the moment, saying, "Haha, Mr. Lin is truly amazing, assisting the police in cracking a major case and catching a female swindler. Brother Li, fortunately, this female swindler hadnât formally entered the family yet. Itâs great that it was discovered early. If she had gotten married, it would have been troublesome. We owe Mr. Lin a debt of gratitude. Brother Li, what do you think?"
With these words, everyone nodded in agreement.
"If it wasnât for Mr. Lin, the Li Family would have continued being deceived by a female swindler!"
"Looking at it this way, Mr. Lin has done the Li Family a great favor. A thank you wouldnât be too much!"
"And Landlord Li misunderstood Mr. Lin; an apology would also be appropriate, right?"
Everyone was waiting for Li Jian to respond.
At this moment, if Li Jian continued to be at odds with Lin Fan, it would truly be ungrateful, and everyone would surely ridicule the Li Family even more.
Li Jian could only awkwardly laugh, "Mr. Lin, Iâm sorry. I misunderstood you earlier. Thank you for helping our Li Family identify the swindler."
Lin Fan smiled and said, "It was a trivial matter. Mr. Li, you returned my bid because of the misunderstanding that I caused your daughter-in-law to miscarry. It was truly unjust. Now that the truth has come to light, my bid..."
Lin Fan took the bid from Wei Yueâer and handed it to Li Jian.
In front of everyone, even if Li Jian was unwilling, he had to accept the bid.
Li Jian forced a smile, "Iâll accept the bid, and I hereby announce that Mr. Lin has regained the eligibility to bid."
Lin Fan laughed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Li."
Song Rongmao breathed a sigh of relief, deeply admiring Lin Fan. This matter had to be resolved by Lin Fan himself, and he laughed loudly, "This is good, the matter is finally settled. You are all my dear friends. Consider this the best birthday gift Iâve received this year. Itâs getting late; please be seated and enjoy the feast!"
Li Jian forced a smile and said, "Brother Song, Iâm really sorry for ruining your birthday banquet with my private matters. Iâm not feeling well and wonât stay long tonight. I wish you health and longevity, Brother Song, and Iâll come by to apologize another day."
With that, Li Jian left hurriedly, feeling utterly humiliated and unable to stay any longer.
Song Rongmao, seeing that he couldnât be kept, let it be and smiled at Lin Fan, "Mr. Lin, please."
The birthday banquet continued, with guests taking their seats.
Wei Yueâer sat with Lin Fan and asked in a low voice, "There shouldnât be any problem with buying the land now, right?"
When Yun Cityâs Li Family returned the bid, she really didnât know how to resolve it, not expecting Lin Fan had everything arranged in advance. Li Jian was no match for Lin Fan at all. In an instant, she was utterly convinced by Lin Fan.
However, Lin Fan frowned and said, "Although we have regained the eligibility to bid, making Li Jian lose face tonight, the old man wonât let this go so easily..."
In a luxury car leaving the Song Family mansion.
Just as Lin Fan expected.
Li Jian, enraged, flung Lin Fanâs bid paper fiercely, "Lin Fan, you caused me to lose face. Do you think I will really sell you the land? Just wait!"
