Ling Xuewei asked doubtfully, “You know acupuncture?”

“A little,” Lin Bai replied with a smile.

He did not say that he was absolutely confident that he could cure the disease with acupuncture.

After all, he spoke too slowly, which made him seem untrustworthy.

Ling Xuewei was a little hesitant.

She had only met Lin Bai for less than 20 minutes, and Lin Bai’s meeting was already enough to surprise her. Now that he said he knew acupuncture, she really could not believe it.

After all, as far as she knew, Lin Bai was only a university student.

The fact that he knew how to perform face-reading and acupuncture was really amazing

Moreover, her mother had been agitated in the past, which was why she became like this. It was a mental problem.

Using acupuncture to treat mental problems sounded a little too ridiculous?

Ling Xuewei still felt that she should bring her mother to see a professional psychiatrist.

With that thought in mind, Ling Xuewei had already made a decision in her heart.

She said to Lin Bai, “Sorry for making a fool of myself just now.”

“Thank you for helping to calm my mother down. I will bring her to the hospital later for a comprehensive check-up.”

“Let’s discuss our cooperation another day.”

The meaning of this was already very obvious. It was a tactful rejection.

Being rejected was within Lin Bai’s expectations. After all, using acupuncture to treat mental illnesses sounded unreliable.

Moreover, he had only been in contact with Ling Xuewei for a short period of time. It was understandable that she did not believe him.

However, Lin Bai believed that Ling Xuewei would eventually come to him and ask for his help in treating her mother’s illness.

This was because Lin Bai knew that the treatment methods of those psychiatrists could not completely cure her mother’s illness.

Thus, Lin Bai was not in a hurry. He just smiled and nodded while saying, “That’s fine too. After all, Auntie has been wandering outside for many years. It’s only right for her to have a thorough examination.”

“This is my business card. If the treatment effect of western medicine is not ideal, you might as well try acupuncture with traditional Chinese medicine.”

“Our family’s ancestral acupuncture treatment has a certain effect on the treatment of the mental aspect.”

After saying that, Lin Bai handed the homeless woman back to Ling Xuewei and left with dignity.

“Then I won’t bother President Ling and Auntie. If you need anything, you are welcome to call me at any time.”

Ling Xuewei took her mother and the business card and nodded politely. However, she did not intend to contact Lin Bai anymore.

After all, Lin Bai had seen her losing her composure. In addition, Lin Bai would still meet her again. This made her feel extremely embarrassed.

This made her subconsciously resist and she didn’t want to interact with Lin Bai anymore.

Lin Bai hadn’t gone far when he heard Assistant Wang say to Ling Xuewei, “President Ling, Don’t blame me for being too talkative. What happened today was too coincidental. Maybe someone with ulterior motives arranged it. I suggest that you don’t rush to acknowledge your family. It’s better to do a DNA test first.”

“As for the treatment of this woman, don’t rush it. It’s not too late to start after the results of the test are out.”

When Assistant Wang said this, not only did he not lower his voice, but he deliberately raised his voice as if he was saying it for Lin Bai.

Lin Bai was not angry. He just smiled indifferently. He did not even bother to defend himself because Lin Bai believed that the facts would explain everything.

Lin Bai originally thought that he would only have a chance to get in touch with Ling Xuewei again after Ling Xuewei failed to find a doctor.

Unexpectedly, on the way back to school, he received a piece of pop-up news from the Future News app.

This time, the title was:

[A major medical accident! A patient of Green Mountain Hospital jumped to his death due to negligence!]

Green Mountain Hospital was a famous local mental hospital.

Lin Bai had a bad premonition when he saw this title. He felt that it was most likely related to Ling Xuewei’s mother.

He clicked on it and it confirmed his guess.

The news report said that Ling Xuewei sent her mother to Green Mountain Hospital for treatment and spent a lot of money to arrange for her mother to be placed in the best intensive care unit.

In the end, the nurse had made a mistake and failed to lock the window in the ward, causing her mother to jump off the building after her illness lapsed.

Looking at the time again, it was actually tomorrow.

Lin Bai could not help but sigh and thought to himself, ‘Ling Xuewei, oh, Ling Xuewei, the fate between us is really deep. Even the heavens would not allow us to meet again in a few days.’

Initially, he had thought that he would be able to go back to school and attend classes in peace for a few days.

But now, he had to go to Green Mountain Hospital the next day to save another person.

At the same time, this news made Lin Bai realize that as his behavior changed in the future, there would be new dangers.

This also meant that many things could not be completely resolved by him stopping them once.

For example, Ling Xuewei’s mother would have been killed by a car at the gate of the Soaring Phoenix Real Estate according to her original fate.

However, due to Lin Bai’s intervention, she had escaped a calamity and her life had been saved.

However, this did not mean that she would be safe in the future. It was very likely that a new disaster would befall her.

“Fate is really unpredictable.”

Lin Bai could not help but sigh.

When the taxi driver heard Lin Bai’s sigh, he could not help but say, “Hey, I didn’t know that you were so young and still had so many regrets. What did you find out?”

Lin Bai didn’t reply. He was secretly calculating in his heart that he should stop Ling Xuewei’s mother from falling off the building tomorrow.

A mental hospital was different from an ordinary hospital. It wasn’t a place that could be entered at will.

Moreover, even if he had disguised his identity and snuck in, it would be difficult to explain it clearly afterward.

What if people suspected that he wasn’t there to save people but instead thought that he was there to harm them?

He would not be able to explain it clearly then.

Therefore, in Lin Bai’s heart, he ruled out this plan that allowed him to sneak in.

He had to save her, but he also had to make Ling Xuewei appreciate him. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a waste of effort?

After thinking about it, Lin Bai still felt that stopping Ling Xuewei before she sent her to the hospital was the best plan.

Therefore, he looked at the news again and found that the time of admission recorded in the news was one hour later.

In other words, Ling Xuewei should be on the way to the hospital by now.

Therefore, Lin Bai decisively said to the taxi driver, “Master, please turn around and go to Green Mountain Hospital.”

The driver was stunned for a moment and confirmed, “Are you going to Green Mountain Hospital?”

“Yes.”

“That’s a long way. It’s more than 40 kilometers away.”

Lin Bai said directly, “I’ll pay more.”

The driver didn’t say anything else. He turned around at the next intersection and drove in the direction of the Green Mountain Hospital.

Lin Bai arrived more than ten minutes earlier than the time in the news, so he simply stood at the entrance of the hospital and waited.

Time passed quickly, and a rose-red Porsche drove over from afar..
