Just as Ling Yao thought, during the more than a year since he left Fengcheng, Lin relied on the power gathered by Li Haibo and the help of the Zhou family. The Zhao Bureau of Public Security also provided him with some conveniences from time to time. Lin Tianyu's various aspects of The influence is growing in Fengcheng.
Coupled with his superb medical skills, the connections he has attracted to his side are getting bigger and bigger like a snowball, and they are even comparable to some of the newer aristocratic families, allowing him to obtain many medical records that he had never heard of before as an ordinary person. Heard about tickets to banquets and conferences. Even the secret service hidden in the dark side began to try to extend an olive branch to him.
Although the actual value of these "tickets" is not very high, and Lin Tianyu didn't even bother to send a message of rejection to most invitations - he does have such qualifications now.
But on a spiritual level, the "difference" represented by the "admission ticket" gave him great encouragement, making him feel that he had completely shed his former identity as an "ordinary person" and no longer needed to be like a normal person. He acts secretly in the black market, but openly and openly steps into the elite class of society, enough to look down at or even look down on those whom he once could only look up at with squinting eyes.
This change also gradually changed his mentality.
He no longer cautiously carries his "golden finger" and recklessly looks for a way out for his future; nor is he no longer impressed by the small favors thrown out by some aristocratic families, leaving himself and his companions in dilemmas and even dangers; No longer are we always worried about being seen through, being ridiculed and criticized based on our academic qualifications or wealth, so we always like to "strike first", or being criticized so hard that we don't know how to refute.
Of course, he also let go of many things that he used to care about, persist in, couldn't let go of, and repeatedly tortured himself. For example, when he was in college, he was suppressed and excluded because he didn't know how to deal with people and couldn't please his supervisors and mentors; for example, when he was looking for an internship, he was openly and secretly ridiculed by HR and even his colleagues because of his academic qualifications and family background. At that time, he was angry. He was angry, but he could only bow his head for the sake of life; another example is that when he first entered the medical field, doctors or patients doubted and distrusted him, and he also faced those people who found reasons to deliberately embarrass him and intended to belittle him. Although he was unwilling to do so, he was unable to refute.
Just like the person in front of me, although he has done all kinds of things in an attempt to nail himself to the pillar of shame. But now, who will remember that it was him who was unable to argue, and who dares to say that it was he who was at a disadvantage and left the stage sadly?
This is the value standard of modern people - only looking at the results, not the process. Two people stand together, one is a so-called outstanding young man who is just starting out and even left the medical path due to mediocre grades, while the other is already a business tycoon, a master of the apricot grove, and the overlord of the underground black market. No one will think of past successes or failures, right or wrong, they will only think:
These two people have an old grudge, so isn’t it the end of Nambotu? This kid was not sober in his early years, and he actually offended people he shouldn't have offended because of jealousy!
And those who have other ideas will only regard Nanbotu as a sharp knife to poke Lin Tianyu's old wounds, and will never regard the two as rivals with equal energy.
Just like what happened during the consultation just now.
Of course, Lin Tianyu will not deliberately retaliate and embarrass the other party for the past. After all, in his eyes, Nan Botu is already a "lower" and "loser", which means that he himself is still lingering on, refusing to bow to himself for the last bit of thin skin.
He would never regard such a person as an "enemy". This is his pattern and tolerance as a successful person now.
However, if the other party takes the initiative to provoke you, or secretly plots against yourself and those around you, that is another matter.
As for Ding Ling'er, he has already figured out Li Jiaheng's clues, but he still hasn't found any clues related to Nan Bo Tu, so he can't blame others easily. But when he caught Li Jiaheng, he found that if Nan Botu was really involved, he would never let him go.
What concerned him even more was...the text messages he had argued with Nanbotu back and forth when he "picked up" Nanbotu's cell phone.
Although he was furious at the time, thinking that the other party was arrogant and did not distinguish right from wrong, he got into an inextricable scolding with the other party online, and even ended up "throwing his phone in anger". But when he calmed down, he finally realized the biggest problem:
Who is the other party, and why does he seem to know everything about him?
If you want to know all the big and small things he has experienced and sort out all his interpersonal relationships, although it is scary to think about it, but to be honest, a private detective or a stalker can also do it. But his whereabouts in the black market, his Qingyou Valley inheritance ring, and even the little golden dragon...where did this information come from?
Not to mention a stranger, even his family and friends, he never revealed everything.
He once doubted whether "Nan Bo Tu" had any "adventures" and could spy on his life through his mobile phone, which made him even more hostile to him.
Because the other party is likely to know his true identity: it was just good luck that led to his success today.
This realization made him feel horrified: it was as if someone had stripped away his glamorous outer skin, revealing his ordinary appearance that was no different from others, or even worse.
And what he didn't want to admit, but what he also tacitly acknowledged in his heart - if he hadn't picked up the inheritance ring from Qingyou Valley, he would never be able to compete with a person of status and real talent like Nan Botu. And if it was Nambotu who got the ring instead of him, Nambotu might go higher than himself.
No, let alone Namboto, just anyone would risk replacing him.
If, if others knew that everything about him was based on this ring, if he lost this ring, no, even if he shared this ring with others, he might be surpassed and destroyed.
On this lonely road he has taken, he is the only one who continues to be different, unique, and irreplaceable. Otherwise, everything is a castle in the air, and everything may be wiped out in an instant.
Therefore, even if the Secret Service intended to contact him and cooperate with him, he would not reveal even half of the secrets he had inherited. Want to have this power? Sorry, that can only be achieved through him. He wouldn't do it if you taught a man how to fish.
But after making this calculation, he suddenly discovered that Nan Botu might have known all his secrets for a long time. How could he not be frightened and anxious?
In this case, he no longer has time to think about whether the criticism of him in the text message is right or wrong. There was only one question swirling in his mind: Could Nambotu see the content of these text messages like him?
You may say yes, but this "several times I read the comments" is not talking to the person "Namboto" from the beginning to the end. And in his words, he is the "protagonist of the story", and "Nan Botu" is just an inconspicuous little character, not even as good as Li Haibo.
And it's not like Nan Botu coveted his ring. At most, he just wanted to embarrass him.
But if it’s not possible, then why do these text message contents only appear on Nanbotu’s mobile phone?
After a year, Nanbotu finally returned to Fengcheng again, and finally he got the opportunity to confront himself. He believed that as long as he could be questioned face to face, even if Nambotu denied it, he would be able to tell whether the other party was lying from his micro-expressions and micro-movements.
"How often have you looked at who the commentator is? What does it have to do with you? Are you your friend?"
He didn't reveal his likes and dislikes right away, and that's why he was able to better understand the truth from Nanbutu's reaction - whether it was confusion, shock, guilt, or fear.
People's first reaction is always the most real.
And Nambotu’s answer to him was:
"...Ah? Who?? What???"
Lin Tianyu frowned suddenly. Because he didn't capture any guilt or fear from Nanbutu's expression, only confusion and absurdity.
All the emotions of the other party seemed to be written on his face: What the hell did you pull me here in private and ask seriously? ?
This overly straightforward attitude actually made Lin Tianyu a little embarrassed. Most of his previous mental assumptions were about Nanbotu's disguise or sophistry, but he rarely thought about what would happen if the other party really didn't know.
If the other party really knew nothing about the content of those text messages, he might think that he was a fool who didn't know what he was talking about... Then how should he, who asked this question at this moment, resolve this embarrassing situation without having to explain more?
Although it was not in line with his expectations, he at least got the "answer". In order to avoid Nanbotu’s inquiring about this, Lin Tianyu chose to skip this paragraph and turn to another question:
"What about Li Jiaheng? Do you know him? What is your connection with him?"
"??? How did you change the topic... Li Jiaheng, that boy from the Li family? Who doesn't know him? After all, I am also from the Nan family, how can I not recognize half a relative? What's the problem? ??”
Ling Yao really didn't lead the show at the moment. You know, although he often plays tricks to fool people, it is all based on not understanding the truth of the matter, or not caring whether the other party can see through the situation he is playing. In other words, his acting skills are actually very average. Logically speaking, he cannot deceive Lin Tianyu's eyes that focus on micro-expressions.
But he was really confused at that moment! I have been scolding you for more than a year. Why do you still think about me like this? As for this "enemy", did he ask such a question first when they met?
In fact, even he hasn't seen any messages from "Ji Zeng" for almost half a year. After all, this master of yin and yang usually accumulates CDs and rarely turns up the volume. On the contrary, other "complaints" are more lively. He almost didn't realize who Lin Tianyu was talking about at first!
It was precisely this confusion and disbelief that deceived Lin Tianyu's eyes.
And then Lin Tianyu's sudden change of topic made him enter a new confusion: What does this have to do with Li Jiaheng?
"...of course it means whether you have any other contact in private."
But this time he turned the corner quickly. Since Lin Tianyu could even see the text messages complaining about the guards, he must have also seen the inconsistent text message Li Jiaheng sent him on his phone. If he has indeed found out about the Li family, it will inevitably lead to new doubts about himself.
When the matter has developed to this point, Lin Tianyu, who is well aware of the scolding habits of the children of the aristocratic family, has long since stopped trusting the defense of so-called "tangible evidence" - because many children of the aristocratic family often change the facts and confuse right and wrong in this step, thus exonerating themselves. own guilt.
In contrast, Ling Yao only had one favorable defense of "no evidence" - after all, whether Lin Tianyu subjectively believed that there were irreconcilable conflicts between the two, or objectively they did have many positions and The difference in concepts led Lin Tianyu to "book charges" and "collect evidence" for him.
Because of this, directly avoiding the intersection with Lin Tianyu has become Ling Yao's best choice. If you can't even see each other, there will naturally be no conflicts. Over time, you will even gradually forget the existence of this person.
But now that Lin Tianyu has rushed in front of him, he has no need to be secretive:
"A personal relationship? I can't talk about it. He just met in person and left me his phone number. He seems to think that I am in the same situation as him. I have no status in the family and am eager for power, so he will resonate with me and be willing to cooperate with him. Some things. But...I'm not interested anyway. After all, if I were interested in the Nan family, I wouldn't have left Fengcheng for so long."
Ling Yao shrugged.
"You ask, did he tell you about the inexplicable text messages he sent me? Anyway, I still don't understand the meaning of the text messages he sent me."
He really didn't understand what was going on in Li Jiaheng's mind. He was as fierce as a tiger in one operation, and then created a chance for Lin Tianyu to be a hero to save the beauty?
Not to mention whether the "hero" Lin Tianyu is happy or not, is the "beauty" happy? No matter what the purpose, attacking innocent weak people has never been in line with his principles.
If it were Ling Xingran, he would probably understand Li Jiaheng's thoughts. but he? He will never understand how these superior "system owners" view these so-called "NPCs".
"So you came to me today because you have doubts about me? Although I don't care what you think of me, but no matter what, you can't just put all the shit on my head just because you don't like me. Bar?"
Ling Yao raised his eyebrows,
"We haven't seen each other for more than a year, so it's not like we haven't made any progress at all."
There is no subject in this half sentence, Lin Tianyu thought. However, Nan Botu's expression was not mocking himself for overestimating his abilities, telling Lin Tianyu not to always think of himself in the worst possible light.
But was Nambotu mocking him? Satirize his groundless assumptions, his desire to inflict crimes, and his random biting; satirize his past and his present: Are you still this kind of person now?
But, how dare he? Doesn't he understand that the gap between them is as big as the sky? Who has the right to speak in the mainstream now, and who has the qualifications to educate or accuse the other party?
He wanted to express his anger at being humiliated, but this seemed to play into the opponent's hands.
This is so strange. He has obviously climbed to the point where he must look up today. Why does he still feel like he can't lift his head in front of Namboto?
"...You can only use your words. It's just a small role like you. I won't be so embarrassed and use those dirty methods. Of course, it's best if you don't do anything. I didn't catch you. I know you have a good relationship with the Wu family. Although they are no longer the descendants of Qingyou Valley, they are still inextricably linked. I don't want them to be difficult. Please take care of yourself. Well. Since you don’t have the ability to be a doctor, just like today, it’s best to just keep your mouth shut.”
[Lin Tianyu snorted softly and briefly, as if he didn't bother to argue with others. And Nan Botu was silent for a moment, seeming to be ashamed and angry, but also seemed to be deep in thought.
[Lin Tianyu doesn’t know if the other party is convinced, or if he is still secretly plotting new tricks.
[But no matter what, from today on, Nanbotu is no longer his opponent. 】
(From Chapter 417 of "Urban Medical God"-Fighting the Heroes)
…
Ling Yao was indeed very silent, and he felt that he had dried up his silence.
It turns out that Lin Tianyu has indeed become calm over the past year or so, but the symptoms of self-brainwashing have also become more and more consolidated.
The feeling is almost like: That’s what I think anyway, it’s all in vain whether you defend or not! But I am very kind and will not kill you directly, but you should continue to do your own thing!
No wonder Lin Tianyu was able to adapt quickly from an ordinary student to the life of a "high and powerful" person now. He relies on repeatedly brainwashing himself "I'm not wrong", "I can", "You are against me because you are jealous of me" To rationalize everything!
Of course it is very easy to live in such a brainwashed way. Anyway, if there is any problem, the responsibility "lies entirely on others."
But it’s easy to get GG out of nowhere! This kind of person really relies on the "protagonist halo" to survive today, right?
When he watched Lin Tianyu leave, he was still full of questions. He felt that today's conversation was really a lonely one.
Forget it, maybe the protagonist is happy. Just fool around and that's it.
It was also a credit to Lin Tianyu that he didn't stay any longer after chatting with him. When he slowly left the courtyard and returned to the main hall, he had already left due to busy work. Ling Yao breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to have his toes stubbed in embarrassment in front of a large audience.
Seeing that his expression remained normal, Mr. Ye breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he was the one who invited him. If there was any unpleasantness in the Luo family, he would have to bear the responsibility on both sides.
But Mr. Luo now thought of embarrassment. Before, because Lin Tianyu was his wife's savior, he was naturally obedient and desperately wanted to please him. But this time when his son left, he gradually realized: behind Nan Botu and Nan Bohong, it was the Nan family that he couldn't afford to offend!
Although this situation is not enough to offend people to death, it still leaves a bad first impression. This is fatal enough in interactions between aristocratic families.
But he still didn't dare to come back and please the other party in the same way - he still needed Lin Tianyu's help in the future, how could he get close to the other party's "enemy"? I can only say hello a few times and pretend that nothing happened just now.
But Ling Yao didn't have time to worry about it. He had already obtained the tea leaves, and Lin Tianyu had dealt with it, and he was in a pretty good mood:
"Since Brother Bohong just left a message, I will say one more thing. If you have anything to ask for, now is the opportunity. Although I can't promise anything, my words will definitely come to you. So...?"
Luo Jianbin and Ye Shengyuan looked at each other, and for a moment they couldn't tell whether his reaction was out of ignorance or magnanimity - whether it was towards Nan Bohong or Lin Tianyu, Nan Botu should not be so calm and calm. .
I just didn’t want to, but it was Mrs. Luo who spoke first:
"Dr. Nan is already here, but we didn't entertain him well, and we asked you to bear with me. If it's necessary, I want to delay your time some more."
Ling Yao didn't expect it, but he turned around politely and nodded:
"You say."
"As people get older, they are always worried about whether they have something or not. Although this disease is indeed a lot easier, I still feel uneasy. I wonder if I can trouble you to take a look at it for me?"
