Starting with a cub, the superpower boss becomes the richest man by lying flat

Chapter 174 Treatment
After leaving the brokerage, Lin Xin used her wide sleeves to pull out a fifty-tael silver note from her spatial storage and handed it to the tallest of the six guards. "Take this note and go buy some clothes and shoes for you guys, then get some food, and then go..."

Lin Xin realized that she didn't seem to know her home address, so she turned to look at Mo Ziyuan.

"Number 76 Xinglin Street," Mo Ziyuan said, suppressing a laugh.

"Okay, then just go and settle in here. Here's the key, keep the last courtyard, and you can choose the rooms you need from the rest." With that, Lin Xin simply handed the main gate key to the guard as well.

"Yes, Miss." After exchanging glances, everyone bowed deeply to her.

"Alright, go do what you're supposed to do!"

After everyone left, Lin Xin said to the father and son, "I'll take you to find Nan Nan's master first, but let me make this clear beforehand: if your son really can't be cured, you can't be rude to the doctor."

"Don't worry, young lady, I'm not a heartless person. I'm already extremely grateful that you bought my son and even paid for his medical treatment. If he really doesn't make it, then it's God's will. I will absolutely not blame the doctor or anyone else," the man said earnestly.

Lin Xin nodded. It was good that he could understand the situation. Even if Cui Shi couldn't cure his son, she could use her supernatural abilities to nourish his body. Even if he wasn't perfectly healthy, at least he would be able to live.

Led by Mo Ziyuan, the group arrived at Cui Shi's house. He used to be the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, so he was naturally not short of money. He lived in a large five-courtyard mansion with a full complement of servants. The gatekeeper opened the door and let them in after seeing Mo Ziyuan. One of them quickly went to find Cui Shi.

"You brat, what made you decide to come here?" As soon as Cui Shi heard that Lin Xin had arrived, he happily strode towards the door. But just before he saw her, he seemed to remember something, and his hurried steps slowed down. He even started stroking his mustache. The doorman behind him pressed his eyes, which were about to pop out of their sockets, back down and immediately elevated Lin Xin's status in his mind.

"You're a doctor, of course I'd come to you for treatment! Otherwise, why would I be here to freeload a meal?" Lin Xin rolled her eyes and said.

"Hey, you're so arrogant even though you're here to see me. Be careful, or I might give you a packet of poison."

"Fine, you lose if you can't poison me to death."

Listening to their bickering, the man and his son broke out in a cold sweat. Was this really a doctor? How could he poison people so easily? How could his son/I possibly survive in this man's hands?

As usual, after the two were evenly matched, Cui Shi snorted and asked, "Where's the patient? Let me see him!"

Lin Xin turned her gaze and was surprised to find that her thin son was already in his father's arms, and the two of them tried to shrink themselves behind Mo Ziyuan, who was trying not to laugh.

“…Uh…” Lin Xin paused for a moment before realizing what had happened, then pointed at the father and son and looked at Cui Shi with schadenfreude: “You old rascal, you can’t keep your mouth shut. Look how scared you’ve made the patient and his family.”

"Hmph, it's all because of you, you brat! You've ruined my reputation!" Cui Shi's face darkened when he saw the father and son. He snorted, grabbed Lin Nan's hand, and turned to leave. "Come with me if you're going to see a doctor, otherwise get lost!"

Lin Nan followed Cui Shi's lead, her small feet barely touching the ground. She turned back to the child and smiled, saying, "My master is just like this, his words aren't pleasant, but his medical skills are amazing! Come with us!" Upon hearing his little apprentice's words, Cui Shi smiled smugly and slowed his pace considerably.

The man looked at Lin Xin, somewhat shaken, "Miss... young lady..."

"It's alright. Old Cui used to be the head of the Imperial Medical Academy. His medical skills are amazing. You can rest assured that he will treat your son."

"...Yes, okay, fine..."

Feeling the burning heat of his son's small body in his arms, the man gritted his teeth and followed Lin Xin and the others, following Cui Shi's footsteps into the house.

"Put him on the bed so I can take a look." Once inside the pharmacy, Cui Shi's demeanor immediately changed, which reassured the man, who obediently placed his son on the bed.

Cui Shi first took his pulse, then examined his eyelids and tongue. He didn't say anything, but had a servant bring a basin of warm water to wipe his body, as he was going to give the child acupuncture.

The man quickly took over the task, and when he lifted the child's clothes, everyone's eyes showed a look of pity, including Lin Xin.

The child did not have any signs of abuse, but he was so thin. When he was dressed, you could still see some flesh on his face, but once the clothes were off, he was just skin and bones!
His ribs were clearly defined, and the joints on his arms were protruding. There was almost no fat or muscle in his body, and Lin Xin wondered how he could move so freely.

"Doctor, I... my son..." Although the man had seen it many times before, he still felt heartbroken when he saw it again. He looked at Cui Shi, hesitant to ask his question, afraid that the answer he would receive would be too much for him to bear.

“This child was premature, wasn’t he? He was born with congenital deficiencies and his nutrition was also inadequate,” Cui Shi said to the child’s father after inserting gold needles of different lengths and thicknesses into the child’s body. “His illness can be cured, but even if he is cured, his body will not be as healthy as others. As for whether it will affect his lifespan, we will have to see the final result of the treatment.”

After Cui Shi finished speaking, the man was stunned at first. After he realized what was happening, he immediately knelt down in front of Cui Shi and kowtowed to him several times. He really kowtowed so hard that Lin Xin felt a headache for him.

"Alright, stop banging your head. What if you go crazy? That brat would have made a huge mistake buying you." Lin Xin had gotten used to Cui Shi's constant reminders of her, so she rolled her eyes and ignored him.

"Yes, yes, thank you doctor, thank you young lady!" The man moved closer to Lin Xin and pretended to kowtow, but then he remembered what he had just said and felt that he couldn't bring himself to kowtow. For a moment, he didn't know how to express his excitement.

"Just pay more attention when you work for me in the future."

"Oh, oh, don't worry, young lady. From now on, our lives belong to you. We will go through fire and water for you, as long as you give the order."

"Don't talk nonsense. You finally managed to cure the child's illness, and now you're sending him back to the brink of death? What was the point of curing him then? Just to make him suffer again?" Cui Shi glared at him and said.

Everyone in the room laughed, even the child lying on the bed gave a faint smile.
